Mathieu Cailler’s poetry and prose have been widely featured in numerous national and international publications, including the Los Angeles Times and The Saturday Evening Post. ![]() ![]() It is possible that the narrator remains insecure about his wife’s first husband, just as he is insecure about her relationship with Robert. It is interesting, that though he has the opportunity to tell the reader the first husband’s name, he never does. Just as the narrator is jealous of his wife’s connection or relationship with Robert, the reader also suspects that he is also jealous of his wife’s first husband. For the first time he is seeing, rather than looking. This is ironic as later in the story it will be through Robert’s guidance that the narrator begins to see things in a fresh light or as some critics might suggest, it is at the end of the story that the narrator finally opens his eyes to the world around him. The narrator also appears to have a very limited viewpoint on blindness. If anything the narrator views Robert’s visit as an inconvenience. Not only is he displeased with the fact that Robert is visiting but the reader also senses that in some ways the narrator is also jealous of the connection that his wife has with Robert. ![]() ![]() ![]() Taken from his collection of the same name the story is narrated in the first person by an unnamed man and from the beginning of the story the reader realises how detached the narrator is. ![]() In Cathedral by Raymond Carver we have the theme of jealousy, insecurity, isolation, detachment and connection. ![]() ![]() ![]() The power of peers: Interventions that aim to foster correct peer feedback are needed.Errors need to be welcomed: The exposure to errors in a safe environment can lead to higher performance.Disconfirmation is more powerful than confirmation: When feedback is provided that disconfirms then there can be greater change, provided it is accepted.The culture of the student can influence the feedback effects: Feedback is not only differentially given but also differentially received.Giving is not receiving: Teachers may claim they give much feedback, but the more appropriate measure is the nature of feedback received (and this is often quite little).John Hattie provides some interesting clarifications and explanations to his previous articles about feedback in schools: This short text is definitely a must-read for everybody trying to learn more about the feedback model behind the Visible Learning research.

Various military attempts have been made to use animals as delivery systems for weapons. The Los Angeles Herald in 1910 reported a duck which exploded after consuming yeast. A number of toads in Germany and Denmark exploded in April 2005. Natural explosions which occur while an animal is living may be defense-related. ![]() Post-mortem explosions, like that of a beached whale, are the result of the build-up of natural gases created by methane-producing bacteria inside the carcass during the decomposition process. Natural explosions can occur for a variety of reasons. Other instances of exploding animals are defensive in nature or the result of human intervention. Among the best known examples are the post-mortem explosion of whales, either as a result of natural decomposition or deliberate attempts at carcass disposal. The explosion of animals is an uncommon event arising through natural causes or human activity. For specific information about animals used as bombs, see Animal-borne bomb attacks. ![]() |
