3 "R's" alternatives to the use of laboratory animals in research and testing: Refinement ~ Reduction ~ Replacement

History of Animal Testing

Evidence of animals being used in experiments goes back to the 1500s. However, it was not until 1959 that thoughts about the ethics of using animals in this way became a legitimate discussion point within scientific circles. This was due to Russell and Burch, who came up with the idea of an aim to meet the 3 Rs as an ethical code regarding using animals in tests:

Replacement; where possible a non-animal test should be implemented.
Reduction; the number of tests carried out and the number of animals used in tests should be reduced as far as possible.
Refinement; the humane treatment of animals used in testing such as conditions they are kept in and the use of anesthesia.

Even after this idea was promoted progress was slow. Years later public support, stemming from movements such as the environmental and animal welfare movements helped create a culture ripe for the setting up of the Fund For the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments (FRAME) in 1969.

It took until the 1980s before the 3 R's became more widely accepted and began to be more wholly incorporated into testing, research and education. In some places, such as the UK, this was even enshrined, somewhat, into law such as the UK's Animal (Scientific) Procedures Act 1986.

In 1987 the US teenager Jennifer Graham made the news and made many people question the necessity of animal testing in education, including the rule makers, by suing her school for making the dissection of animals a compulsory part of learning anatomy.

However, although using animals for testing, research and educational purposes may have, in some cases, become more humane and in some areas decreased, particularly in the cosmetic testing and educational spheres. It can also be countered that the numbers of animals used particularly for medical research have increased exponentially in line with the advancement of science, increases in funding and more generally increases in population, product manufacture, and consumerism.

3 R's of gang culture:

REPUTATION/REP

This is of critical concern to "gang-bangers" (gang members). A rep extends not only to each individual, but to the gang as a whole. In some groups, status (or rank) is gained within the gang by having the most "juice" based largely on one's reputation. While being "juiced" is very important, the manner by which the gang member gains the "juice" is just as important. Upon interview, many gang members embellish their past gang activities in an attempt to impress their conversation partner. Gang members freely admit crimes and it has been my experience that most in fact do embellish their stories to enhance their feeling of power. In many gangs, to become a member, you must be "jumped in" by members of the gang. This entails being "beaten down" until the leader calls for it to end. Afterwards, all gang members hug one another to further the "G thing". This action is meant to bond the members together as a family. Frequently, young gang members, whether hardcore or associate, will talk of fellowship and the feeling of sharing and belonging as their reason for joining a gang.
RESPECT

This is something everyone wants and some gang members carry their desire for it to the extreme. Respect is sought for not only the individual, but also for one's set or gang, family, territory, and various other things, real or perceived in the mind of the "gang-banger".

Some gangs require, by written or spoken regulation, that the gang member must always show disrespect to rival gang members. (Referred to in gang slang as dis). If a gang member witnesses a fellow member failing to dis a rival gang through hand signs, graffiti, or a simple "mad dog" or stare-down, they can issue a "violation" to their fellow posse member and he/she can actually be "beaten down" by their own gang as punishment. After dis has been issued, if it is witnessed, the third "R" will become evident.
RETALIATION/REVENGE

It must be understood that in gang culture, no challenge goes unanswered. Many times, drive-by shootings and other acts of violence follow an event perceived as dis. A common occurrence is a confrontation between a gang set and single rival "gang-banger." Out-numbered, he departs the area and returns with his "homeboys" to complete the confrontation to keep his reputation intact. This may occur immediately or follow a delay for planning and obtaining the necessary equipment to complete the retaliatory strike. It must also be understood that many acts of violence are the result of bad drug deals or infringement on drug territory. Some question the authenticity of gang rivalry in shootings and other acts of violence. However, if a group of individuals are together committing either random or pre- planned violence, aren't they a gang? If the gang aspect is learned about, many crimes can be solved through the use of accurate intelligence gathering techniques by law enforcement agencies dealing with this problem. In gang-banging, today's witness is tomorrow's suspect, is the next day's victim.

3 variations regarding a phrase written by King George III and found in his diary (July 4, l776- American date of Independence):

1. Nothing of Importance happened today. (five words used)
2. Nothing Important happened today. (four words used)
3. Nothing Happened today. (three words used)

I have also encountered variations of the above:

Nothing of particular interest happened today.
Nothing of consequence happened today.

It is of interest to note that my first example in the above series contains 5 words, the second contains 4 words, and the third contains 3 words. Perhaps this is a reference to a change in language usage from a cognitive perspective and/or a reference to how a phrase can change according to time, place, usage and having no direct access to the actual diary in order to read it for ourselves. One must wonder whether the subtlety of the 3-4-5 sequencing is similar to the cognitive generation of the Pythagorean theorem: [3 ³ + 4⁴ + 5⁵]. In other words, there are particular cognitive patterns that recur again and again amongst different people during different times and places. Social standards from place to place and time alter the symbolism being used... making cross-cultural decipherment difficult for most researchers.

3 roller Enigma code machine was used by Germany in World War II.

3 roller Enigma code machine was typical, but 4 and 5 wheel varieties were used.

Three wheels (rollers) were selected from a set of five in the case of the Army and Air Force machines and from a set of eight in the case of the Naval machines. The daily [or other periodic] instructions would also specify the reflector [Umkehrwalze] and, in the case of the Kriegmarine's M4, the selection of the fourth, 'Greek' wheel and its 'thin' reflector.

3 suggestions of who broke the Enigma code:

Poles (Poland)
Brits (Britain)
Others (German code defector, etc...)

3-wheel Enigma with reflector and six plug connections generated the following 39 three-patterned number of coding positions:

3-patterned phrase to avoid the Black Plague: Go quickly ~ Go far ~ And return late

3 patterned reference to the Black (bubonic) Plague in a child's lyrics:

Ring-around-the-rosey (victims of bubonic plague had red spots on their skin).
A pocket full of posies (this is a reference to herbal remedies thought to assist in preventing {or curing} someone from getting the illness).
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down (this refers to death and the burning of plague infested bodies as an attempt to prevent the disease from spreading).

(By separating the death {falling down} and the burning {ashes} of the last line, we could interpret this as a 3 to 1 ratio).

Medieval Black Death Was Probably Not Bubonic Plague

The Black Death of the 1300s was probably not the modern disease known as bubonic plague, according to a team of anthropologists studying on these 14th century epidemics.

"Although on the surface, seem to have been similar, we are not convinced that the epidemic in the 14th century and the present day bubonic plague are the same," says Dr. James Wood, professor of anthropology and demography at Penn State. "Old descriptions of disease symptoms are usually too non-specific to be a reliable basis for diagnosis."

The researchers note that it was the symptom of lymphatic swelling that led 19th century bacteriologists to identify the 14th century epidemic as bubonic plague.

"The symptoms of the Black Death included high fevers, fetid breath, coughing, vomiting of blood and foul body odor," says Rebecca Ferrell, graduate student in anthropology. "Other symptoms were red bruising or hemorrhaging of skin and swollen lymph nodes. Many of these symptoms do appear in bubonic plague, but they can appear in many other diseases as well."

The researchers, who also include Sharon DeWitt-Avina, Penn State graduate student in anthropology, Stephen Matthews and Mark Shriver, both professors in the Population Research Institute at Penn State, and Darryl Holman, assistant professor of anthropology, University of Washington, Seattle, are investigating church records and other documents from England to reconstruct the virulence, spatial diffusion and temporal dynamics of the Black Death.

Stage one: Military rule- US and UK military will be in charge of security and in overall command.
Stage two: Interim Iraqi Administration (IIA)- This is where the British Government wants the UN to take a leading role by organizing a conference in Baghdad which would appoint members of the IIA.
Stage three: Representative government- The phrase "representative government" will have to be defined.

Three brilliant stars form this stellar right triangle making it our best heavenly landmark in the August night sky. Vega high above and its western point appears the brightest of the three. Deneb, also high above and to the east of Vega, appears the dimmest. Altair shines below in the south, forming the most distant point of this great triad. These three stunning stars are an unofficial star group or asterism that link the three constellations ... Lyra, Cygnus the Swan and Aquila the Eagle. This Summer Triangle lies high above, over the Milky Way which now sweeps across the heavens from north to south.
