The Caretaker Analysis
Amie Mandy
Warning: this album can cause anxiety and depression while listening to it. Many users have experienced mental breakdowns while listening to this composition. I would not recommend this for the faint of heart.
Reality finally begins to completely break apart as the cuts and blurs start to become violent and cover most of the songs completely. There is always a sense of pain and confusion and the person suffering this has realized their reality is fading. The best memories they have are still vaguely there, but it is slipping fast. The tone shift in this phase is dramatic from the last as the instruments have started repeating, overlapping, and fading; like memories trying to claw their way into remembrance, yet none reach the surface without error. Sometimes, there are complete cuts with no sound or slowed music which suggests the person is not only falsely remembering, but losing their ability to remember at all. This is the phase in which reality leaves and slowly only illusion fills the mind.
This is absolutely a historical piece, and even though it is modern it should be with the classics, like Mozart and such. Beautiful analysis. Very poetic listening to it right now, and i can definitely see the downfall of the mind, even in the earlier phases. Thanks for the post.
As a private music teacher I think this album should become part of the curicculum as it posts some pretty amazing questions for students.
1) How does this album produce its meaning without lyrical content? Is there a tradition of this? In other mediums?
2) How would we understand this album if we had not been given a description. How do our knowledge of the Author and his intentions color this interpretation.
3) How necessary is western tonality (12 note octave, major/minor scales etc) to the production of music or is it simply a cultural assumption? Does the surprising success of these albums (30+ million youtube views) point to new ways for musicians working outside the western canon to succeed in their art?

Objective: We hypothesize that perpetrators of abuse include elements of truth in their initial history and that an analysis of perpetrator confessions can teach professionals how to identify these initial truths.
Methods: The information from a consecutive sample of perpetrators' confessions concerning 41 children hospitalized because of injuries caused by child abuse was reviewed. The details about the injuries contained in the confessions were compared with the details provided when these children initially presented for medical care. Information about the perpetrator's gender and relationship to the child, the victim's age and gender, type of injury, family risk factors, the trigger of the abusive event, the circumstances surrounding the event, and the type of trauma were collected.
Results: A total of 45 perpetrators abused 41 children; 76% of perpetrators were male; 56% were the child's father; 34% were the child's mother. The perpetrators initially provided no explanation about how 68% of the children received an injury. In 91% of their initial histories, the perpetrators provided some element of truth about the circumstances or triggering event for the abuse. In 67% of confessions, crying was the circumstance that triggered the abuse. Mothers were more likely to describe the situation that triggered the abuse (85% of mothers versus 58% of fathers, p=ns), while fathers were more likely to describe accurately the circumstances surrounding the abuse (79% of fathers versus 62% of mothers, p=ns).
Conclusions: Perpetrators of abuse provide initial truths in their presenting history. Child abuse professionals must take a careful history from all caretakers and "listen" for the "elements of truth." These truths are the child's behavior or circumstance that increased stress and triggered the abuse. Employing this method in a careful analysis of confessions can make a significant contribution to the capacity to identify child abuse. In addition, more information about the role of triggers may help to focus child abuse prevention strategies.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to explore determinants of variation in overall caretaker satisfaction with curative care for sick children under the age of 5 in five low-income and middle-income countries.
Primary outcomes measured: The outcome variable was whether the child's caretaker was very satisfied versus more or less satisfied or not satisfied overall. Predictors pertained to child and caretaker characteristics, health system foundations and process of care (eg, care competence, user experience). Two-level logistic regression models were used to assess the extent to which these categories of variables explained variation in satisfaction. The main analyses used pooled data; country-level analyses were also performed.
Conclusions: Better process of care, especially user experience, should be prioritised for its benefit regarding caretaker satisfaction. Unmeasured factors explained the majority of variation in caretaker satisfaction and should be explored in future studies.
The play takes place in one room of a house in West London during the 1950s. It is winter. The play begins with Mick sitting on a bed in the room, but when he hears a door open and shut somewhere offstage, he leaves. Aston, his brother, and Davies, an old tramp, enter. Aston has helped Davies in a fight at the cafe where he was working an odd job. Aston offers Davies clothes, shoes, and a place to stay the night. Davies is loud and opinionated, complaining about the "blacks" and people of other races. Aston, by contrast, is reserved, shy, and speaks haltingly. Davies accepts Aston's offer, and says he will have to go down to Sidcup to get his papers, which will confirm who he is.
The next morning Aston tells Davies that he was being loud in his sleep, a statement that Davies strenuously rejects. Aston prepares to go out, and tells Davies he can stay there. The tramp says he will try to find a job. After Aston is gone, Mick enters and engages Davies in a silent tussle. He asks Davies what his game is.
Mick asks Davies strange questions and discourses on random topics, discombobulating the older man. He finally says that Davies can rent the room if he wants. Aston returns with a bag of Davies's belongings. Mick leaves. The bag turns out not to be Davies', and he is annoyed. Aston asks Davies if he wants to be the caretaker of the place; he, in turn, is supposed to be decorating the landing and turning it into a real flat for his brother. Davies is wary at first because the job might entail real work, but he agrees.
Later Davies is in the room and Mick uses the vacuum cleaner in the dark to frighten Davies. Adopting a more casual manner, he asks Davies if he wants to be caretaker. Davies asks who really is in charge of the place, and Mick deceives him. He asks Davies for references, and Davies promises to go to Sidcup to get them.
The next morning Davies prolongs his decision to go out, blaming bad weather. Aston tells him about how he used to hallucinate and was placed in a mental facility and given electroshock treatment against his will. His thoughts are slower now, and he wishes he could find the man who put the pincers to his head. All he wants to do, though, is build the shed in the garden.
Two weeks later, Davies is full of complaints about Aston, delivering them to Mick. One night Aston wakes Davies to make him stop making noise in his sleep, and Davies explodes, mocking him for his shock treatment. Aston quietly says he is not working out and ought to leave. Davies curses him and says he will talk to Mick about it.
Davies speaks with Mick and argues that Aston should be evicted. Mick pretends to agree with him for a bit, and then starts to ask Davies about his claim that he is an expert interior decorator. Befuddled at this claim he did not make, Davies tries to correct Mick. At one point he calls Aston nutty, which causes Mick to order him to leave. He gives Davies money to pay him out for his services.
Aston enters, and both brothers are faintly smiling. Mick leaves, and Davies tries to plead with Aston again. He grows more and more desperate, wheedling and promising to be better. All Aston says is that Davies makes too much noise. The curtain descends on Davies' protestations.
Buddha can be a symbol in the play THE CARETAKER . It symbolizes DAVIES , one of the majpor characters of the play , as Aston picked it up for himself because he felt some affection of it with himself . SO, in the play it (BUDDHA) symbolizes...
The issues of race and national origin seem much more prevalent than social class in the text, but that is only because they are discussed so openly. Social class on the other hand is a much subtler theme, and one that the audience/reader must...
Davies' papers contain his identity, and are thus a potent symbol in the play. He says he wants to go get them and talks often about his plans to do so, but always has an excuse why he never does. Without them he does not have an identity, but...
In this blog post, I describe the way we currently work as a team to deliver our product (TimeRocket) to our users and customers. This reflects our current understanding of working in an agile* way that matches our needs and skills.
When we started working on TimeRocket, most team members were new to agile software development. So we began with Scrum because it is well documented. That simplified getting everybody on the same page and starting quickly.
In my experience, some people would object that our backlog items were not ready to be pulled into the Sprint. If the items would have been prepared better, there would be less change. That would be optimization in the wrong direction because it would increase task switching, lead time and feedback cycles. When we start working on something, we want to get it done as soon as possible, without idle time.
