SMOOTH THINKING

Briefing
Use Pharaoh for 'where and what'.
It can take a long time to become young. [Cf. Pablo Picasso]

Youth could be trained to revolt really effectively against some sad weight of conformity that lies on moms and dads. [With Howard Mumford Jones]

Culture is one thing and varnish is another. [Emerson]

Briefing on Birch Favours

Briefing cat The birch's bark and slender habit makes it popular. The fruits attract flocks of feeding, small birds in winter. The timber is quite good for furniture, hard and durable. The twigs have been used for beating and massaging, and the sap to make sugar syrup and wine. Some birches grow quickly to a medium height (10-15m); they could therefore be very good choices for a new garden. The foliage is not massive and is good to look at; in autumn the leaves may turn yellow. The birch may grow in most open positions. It can withstand quite a lot of air polution. It's a good tree, and birds tend to come to it too.

Sage Words

Tut James E. Mauch and Jack W. Birch: Guide to the Successful Thesis and Dissertation: A Handbook for Students and Faculty. 3rd edition, revised and expanded. (Dekker. New York, 1993).
      You may think this book contains solid "Birch Favours" as to how to advance in an academic field and setting, and it does - but a more recent edition has been published, and it generally pays to be updated. For all that, for some students vast parts of the third editions may still be a huge favour.
