people doing research: putting a free-text box on your quantitive survey does not make it "mixed methods" it makes it quantitative with a free-text box

thank you that is all

What is the oldest lullaby or nursery rhyme that...

As far as the earliest we know of, it's another Babylonian tablet, about 4000 years old and most often known as Little Baby in the Dark House. We don't have the music for it, but again, the BBC article has a good go at describing some commonalities of the music that tends to accompany lullabies, so that might inspire you.
The rough translation for that Babylonian lullaby, by the way, is:
Little Baby in the dark house
You have seen the sun rise
Why are you crying?
Why are you screaming?
You have disturbed the house god.
'Who has disturbed me?' says the house god.
'It is the baby who has disturbed you!
'Who scared me?' says the house god.
'The baby has disturbed you, the baby has scared you, making noises like a drunkard who cannot sit still on his stool.
He has disturbed your sleep!
'Call the baby now, says the house god.

and incredibly disrespectful of those who have already spent the time and $$ on the match process for spots here

Leslie Ordal @gencounsnews.bsky.social · 2d

it's a very narrow view of who would want to stay and practice here in Ontario

Leslie Ordal @gencounsnews.bsky.social · 2d

also a lot of those affected are already Canadian citizens (anyone who didn't do high school in Ontario) or permanent residents, whether they trained abroad or not. Potentially our province now misses out on some great people who will match elsewhere in the first round

Leslie Ordal @gencounsnews.bsky.social · 2d

I mean, they will still be able to participate in the second round of the match. But this is going to make Ontario residencies unattractive, potentially even for Ontarians, because they pulled this so late in the game when people have already started the match process

Wait, what?

This rule makes ZERO sense

I want every single elected Conservative and their staff to stand in a queue for at least eight hours to experience what Ontario residents have to go through to get a family doctor. Whoever decided this hare-brained policy deserves to go through that.
