Extract from the Introductory Chapter:-
But the most interesting top of all is undoubtedly the
ordinary gyroscope. That depicted in Fig. XVI........
although merely sold as a toy,
is nevertheless capable of illustrating the
gyroscopic phenomena which have been so much
made use of in modern mechanical invention.

Big Bertha Thing rita
Educating Rita
This film portrays a dominant spouse and a long-suffering
student, to the extent upto and including divorce,
book-burning and forced pregnancy.
There was zero privacy. Any attempt to re-register or
change the password would not work, because the secret
could not be kept.
Every posting by the spouse is a violation of OU rules
and the students education, causing real pain. Vetting
by one moderator or by several using a non-public Rita
conf. would not work, because the spouse would use the
students name, with all the further alienation that
would cause.
A new policy needs to be adopted. The last resort
punishment measure, needs to be the first resort
measure on compassionate grounds; that of making the
student read-only on FC. The student would thank you
for it, but not publically.
It would need to be agreed between ACS and OUSA, which
is what they are there for.
