Listening is not quite the same thing as hearing. Hearing is a biological process that can be scientifically explained, but listening is a psychological process of what happens to sounds as we interpret and use them. It is a cognitive activity. In psychology, speech is part of pragmatics, a field which deals with signs and their interpretation. The signs in question are called "speech acts". To listen means to try and understand what has been said. Listening is often one side of a conversation. Asking questions helps one understand what has been said. A subject can be better understood by asking the correct questions. Listening differs from obeying. Parents often say to a disobedient child that he "didn't listen to me", meaning, he heard but didn't do as was suggested. Listening also applies to sounds, not just language. It is "active" hearing. We hear a sound, and know what it means. This applies to animals as well. Cats list in the long grass for the little sounds that mice make. So perhaps a better description of listening is "deliberate hearing to get the meaning of sounds".

Cultural Relativism is a theory of anthropology that views all cultures as equal. Early anthropologist Franz Boas first used the idea of cultural relativism in 1887, but the concept did not have a name until Alain Locke coined the term in 1924. This concept is now accepted by anthropologists around the world. Methodological Tool. Franz Boas noticed that people who study other cultures still tend to be ethnocentric. This means that other cultures are viewed through one's own ideas of how a culture or society should work. A person may be ethnocentric without meaning to be. Ethnocentrism is the idea that one’s own culture is the best, and other cultures are studied or viewed with this outlook. In Boas’ article “On Alternating Sounds,” he explains how different cultures experience sound differently. When people study or come into contact with other cultures, people misunderstand sounds and language. An example used by Boas, is when he studies Inuit texts, words, and languages that are spelled in the Bureau of Ethnology by British Columbia. There were many misspellings explained by a misunderstanding by other cultures that have a different phonetic system rooted in a person's life.  In order to reduce this ethnocentrism from happening when anthropologists study other cultures, Boas thought that the person would need to live with people that they were studying for a long period of time. A person would be able to learn the culture and language better, and then decrease the number of times they misinterpret sounds and language of that culture.  Analytical and Political Device. One of Franz Boas’ students, Ruth Benedict, was an anthropologist that studied the beliefs and practices within a culture’s social system. She noticed that they became mixed patterns of ideas and practices. Benedict believed that people should learn all of the ways people live. The way people show emotions, carry out daily routines or perform normal functions changes based on each individual’s own culture. By studying these cultures, Benedict thought that people could understand that every culture has a different way of living and the way that person lived was not the only way  Cultural relativism was also used as a political device.

Ecgfrith (died 796) was the King of Mercia from July to December 796. He was the son of Offa, the King of Mercia, and Cynethryth. In 787 he was crowned King of Mercia while his father still ruled. This is the first known consecration of an English king. No doubt it was Offs's imitation of the consecration of Charlemagne's sons by the pope in 781. It was a practical way to recognize Ecgfrith as heir to the Mercian kingdom. Offa continued to rule and maintained all the power himself. Ecgfrith was succeeded as king by Coenwulf. This was probably because Offa had arranged the murder of nearer relatives in order to eliminate any rivals to Ecgfrith. Alcuin of York, an English deacon and scholar wrote:  Alcuin added: "This was not a strengthening of the kingdom, but its ruin." When his father died in July of 796 Ecgfrith was king for only 141 days. The cause of his death is unknown but may not have been natural.

A tenon saw is a type of backsaw that is used to cut straight lines in wood. It does not cut materials such as metal. It is a standard item in the carpenter's toolkit. A tenon saw is made out of high-speed steel (HSS) and brass. It is sometimes made out of hard-carbon steel (heat treated steel).  The tenon saw falls under the backsaw family due to the rib that runs along the top of the blade. This improves rigidity and stiffness. The saw has a fine-toothed crosscut for sawing plywood, thin wood and large joints. Uses. Tenon saws may be used to cut both hardwood and softwood, typically in order to create the tenon portion of a mortise and tenon joint. These saws are used similarly to hand saws (aka "panel saws"), as the user creates a cutline, following single-direction strokes until cut is deep enough. Cutting in both directions may then begin.The angle of a tenon saw's handle allows the user to provide more downward force on the saw, allowing for a quicker cut. Tenon saws are widely used in construction and woodworking joints, having a smaller blade compared to other back saws and ranging from 10 to 14 inches. Cross-cutting wood can also be done with the tenon saw, given that the cut is not deeper than the height of the saw, not including the rib. The tenon saw's capabilities do not include cutting curves (as jigsaws may) or thick lumber (as circular saws may). Types of tenon saws include stopped (or blind) tenon saws, through tenon saws, angled tenon saws, and wedged tenon saws. History. The exact birthdate of the tenon saw is unknown, but its historical roots date back to the 18th and 19th century, where it was commonly referred to as a "sash saw". Craftsmen of this date relied on a basic kit of three backsaws: the dovetail saw, carcase saw, and tenon saw. In the 18th and 19th centuries, joinery
