Our audiobook this week is SWIPE by Kennedy Ryan! For the last two years Miko Riley has mourned her husband, a famous, bestselling novelist. While grieving, she put her heart and libido on ice, but she’s finally thawing. And who better to bring the heat than Adam Stone, the editor who secretly harbored feelings for Miko, but missed his shot years ago?
They’ve always been careful to ignore the connection, the attraction that flared between them. Now that they’re both hot, hungry and single, careful is the last thing they want to be. | 2019-04-21T00:11:28Z | null | 391.2 | 537 | null | 0 | []

I did say I’d show you some Tera pics right?! Well how about just one… for now. xD Everytime I play I go “I need to be in this game like SAO” xD which reminds me… actually got to the 2nd arc in SAO 2! It’s…. interesting so far. I like the design for silica~ She’s blue now :D Sinon’s design is ok too. It makes me want to cosplay ALL OF THEM~~~ but I won’t~ Something about cosplaying from anime is kinda a backthought at this point.
But until then… I guess I’ll keep writing the fantasy of doing what I love, as stressful as it is, and being able to make a living off of it.
Home has been absolutely wonderful lately. Probably the reason why I spent a good 4 hours at a Starbucks until I was summoned back to clean a really gross mess of a fridge =.= I won’t even ask why but… yea.
I’m back to job hunting too. Trying to figure out my life and right now it’s not doing everything my parents tell me xD I have a great use of time instead of JUST doing that.
Annnd… I just lsot a league game really depressingly. I was up against a diamond player =.= While we had a newbie on our team that was lvl 17. I don’t understand how that match up was remotely fair but we got eaten so bad it kind of makes me mad league let a team like that go against ours. It kinda ruins the game if the skill level is so far off >.< Although it did test my skills with syndra a little more. just a little. Had to try and predict more than I’m used to. | 2019-04-25T23:56:58Z | null | 611.9 | 1,428 | null | 0 | []

Thank you so much, dear readers. This is one of my favorites, too.
What a lovely story! Even when it's not near Valentine's Day.
This seemed vaguely familiar, but if I had read it before I was remiss in not commenting. I love sweet MickBeth.
Having fun going through your office, Francis!
Thank you for reading and for your lovely comment, MLC. I'm happy whenever one of my old stories bumps up.
Francis, this was the most beautiful story I've read in while! Bravo!!!
It's such a pleasure when a beloved story pops up into Active Topics! I really love this story. Mick and Beth have a very special kind of love together. Thank you for writing it, francis--and than you, Ella, for bumping it so we can enjoy it again!
Somehow I had never read this before .... so, I got such a treat getting to read it for the first time today! Such a sweet story for Mick and Beth. I loved the gifts Mick chose for Beth, and the so-meaningful gift Beth decided on for Mick. I liked the feeling of newness in their relationship, with Beth finding her way to choosing the best gift for a very special vampire.
I'm happy to have reread this sweet story. Mick and Beth in love. What could be better? | 2019-04-20T06:37:44Z | null | 540.3 | 1,178 | null | 0 | []

IUKA — Alliant Techsystems (ATK) played a key role in the successful launch of a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket for NASA from Space Launch Complex 17B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., carrying the Missile Defense Agency’s Space Tracking and Surveillance System (STSS) Demonstrators Program satellite.
Nine ATK GEM-40 solid propulsion strap-on boosters provided augmented thrust for the launch. Six of the boosters ignited at lift-off with the first-stage main engine and provided over 824,000 pounds maximum thrust for the launch vehicle. Just over one minute later, the remaining three boosters ignited to provide an additional 427,000 pounds maximum thrust. The spent motors were then jettisoned from the rocket as it continued its ascent.
ATK manufactured the GEM-40 motors at its facility in Magna, Utah, continuing a tradition of flight support for Delta II missions that began in 1990. The composite cases for the GEM-40 boosters were produced at ATK’s Clearfield, Utah, facility and are made of graphite epoxy material using an automated filament winding process the company developed and refined through its 50-year heritage in composite manufacturing.
The 10-foot diameter composite payload fairing, encapsulating the payload, was fabricated by ATK’s Iuka facility. The fairing was produced using advanced composite hand layup manufacturing, machining, and inspection techniques. This launch marks the 17th ATK built fairing flown on a Delta II mission. | 2019-04-24T11:51:23Z | null | 477 | 1,480 | null | 0.17973 | [

Some are warm and exciting and filled with joy. A time when everything feels like a carefree, bare-footed summer.
Some, though, are cold and barren and lifeless. A time everything feels like a gray-skied winter.
You ready for something cool about nature?
The snowiest winters produce the most wildflowers in the springtime.
God reveals truth through nature all the time.
He can use those winter seasons in our lives to bring about beauty.
This is one of the themes in my debut novel, Wildflowers from Winter, which hits shelves on Tuesday, May 8th.
This is the common theme in the real-life stories people are sharing today. Every single one involves a winter season. Every single one ends with hope. And hope is an incredibly beautiful thing.
Becky Doughty: a warrior princess, her weapon of choice is a pen and she loves the battle, even on days when she’s left flat on her back with missing limbs….
Wildflowers from Winter: An entire family is restored. A prodigal story of epic proportions.
Holly Hassenzahl: Holly was my maid of honor, is one of my best friends, and also happens to be the face of Robin Price!
Wildflowers from Winter: Falsely accused. Reputation ruined. Yet God used it for good.
Wildflowers from Winter: When she was 19 years old, her mom died after a long battle with cancer. Thankfully, that’s not where the story ends.
Wildflowers from Winter: With Mother’s Day coming up, here is a special story about a mother and how God turned a sad time into rejoicing.
Let’s Talk: Have you experienced this theme in your life? Feel free to join the blog tour! All you have to do is blog about your story and post a link in the comment section!
You can read all the blog posts on Twitter by following the #WildflowersfromWinter hashtag.
If these real-life stories have piqued your interest, my debut novel is available for preorder on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Christianbook.com, and other retailers. It’s getting really encouraging reviews so far!
What encouraging and beautiful testimonies! I’ll spread the word!
Life happened here in Maryland, and I didn’t get a chance to get in on the original list (I SO wanted to), but God has worked in my brokenness. Please let me give God the glory as well!
My blog is called Marred and Reformed–It’s a journal from my life in the Potter’s hands, from being broken to being made whole, the laughter and the tears along the way, and my becoming content with who He’s made me.
Katie – this was a great way to open up discussion and point people to the very personalized theme from your book. I hope it reaches people in a big way. Love you!
Thanks so much for hosting this blog hop. It’s an honor to be able to share my story. And I’ve loved the other stories I’ve read. Can’t wait to read them all!
Great blogs, Katie. I’ve bounced back and forth to my computer all day enjoying every one!Thanks for hosting this.
Thank you so much for being obedient the the Spirit and encouraging others to share their stories. To God be the glory, I think he will really bless others through every single story.
So many God-awesome stories! His mercies are new every morning!
Have read a few and already feeling this…I dunno…just deep peace and sense of God’s awesomeness and power. He is great. He is great.
You and your book are doing powerful things already, and pointing and leading others to the One who is ultimately in control. Love you, Katie, and what you’re doing. God is using you, friend. He is using you.
Loved these stories! Awesome blog hop!
Katie, what powerful, inspiring stories, and what an wonderful idea to invite them to be shared. Hope from pain is possible! Thank you for facilitating these. Bless you!
What a great idea for a blog hop! What a testimony to the Lord’s grace in our lives! I’m looking forward to reading your book – been hearing so many wonderful things from others who’ve already read it!
Thanks so much, Katie. I look forward to visiting the above blogs after my exercises (cause the back is hurting and in need of them). I think you are amazing, by the way!!!
I am loving reading all these stories. Thanks so much for pulling us all together for such an inspiring purpose, Katie. I loved the “beauty from pain” theme in your book…and I love seeing how God is bringing beauty from pain in so many lives today!
You should re-name this whole collection to “Cry Like The Spanish Princess In Ever After When She Begs Not To Marry Henry”. I got through one. I’ll read the rest later when my heartless teenage boys aren’t playing Halo.
Bawling like a baby. Surrender & still healing. I just pray God uses it.
Looking forward to going around to encourage the other folks. Thanks for pushing me out of myself.
I love hearing how God can turn our darkest moment into our brightest hope. My blog is all about Genesis 50:20. I am slowly sharing the story of what God did in my marriage and life. What the enemy intended to harm me God is using for His glory.
Thanks for sharing all these wonderful posts Katie!
Thanks, Katie, for so many resources of hope. I look forward to meeting you in Minnesota in a couple weeks.
Thank you for inviting us to participate in this remarkable experience, Katie. I pray the words written here today will bring help and healing to those in need.
This is the first time I’ve shared my story publicly. When I hit “Publish” yesterday, I was filled with a sense of freedom I didn’t expect. I feel like all of us are reaching out and offering a bouquet of our wildflowers to each person who reads our stories. | 2019-04-24T10:38:01Z | null | 485.7 | 5,509 | null | 0 | []

JR Rehab Services Inc. has opened a dedicated clinic in Langley to perform Comprehensive Driver Evaluations.
A Comprehensive Driver Evaluation is an off and on-road assessment of an individual’s ability to safely perform the required components of driving, including physical, cognitive, perceptual and behavioral aspects.
This evaluation is necessary when experienced drivers are questioned about their ability to safely perform this complex task following a diagnosis of physical, neurological or psychosocial significance.
They will be performed by Maureen Woodward, JR Rehab Services Inc. Occupational Therapist with a Graduate Certificate in Driving Rehabilitation, in partnership with RoadSafetyBC and Certified Driving Instructors.
A Comprehensive Driver Evaluation can also benefit novice drivers by determining their ability to learn driving skills and providing recommendations for driver training programs. | 2019-04-20T03:17:09Z | null | 641.1 | 2,611 | null | 0.049023 | [

This is a non-destructive operation and will only free things that are completely unused. Dirty objects will continue to be in use until written out to disk and are not freeable. If you run "sync" first to flush them out to disk, these drop operations will tend to free more memory.
Be careful doing this. While it SHOULD be non-destructive, when I was playing around with this to free up memory to allocate for huge pages on a production Oracle DB server I had an unexpected/unplanned reboot. Fortunately it was during a planned maintenance window, so I didn't have to update my resume. I'm not sure if the reboot was a kernel issue, or if it was an Oracle reaction to the cache dropping (it was many moons ago, so my memories are a bit blurred).
Also realize that all kinds of stuff that you had cached in memory will have to be re-read from disk the next time you need to access it, so you might take a performance hit.
Is their any similar command for Windows System Please..
I am not aware of one, but I don't really deal with WIndows, sorry. | 2019-04-23T22:29:17Z | null | 395.8 | 1,047 | null | 0.269341 | [

Underwater Echo Sharing thoughts for teaching and higher education.
We are entering the digital era, and everything gets digitized: we work with Microsoft Office software at work, purchase goods via PayPal, monitor everyday exercise or even sleep habit with fitbit, and post daily life experience on social network. Almost every behavior is influenced by Internet to some extent, and we really enjoy the convenience, efficiency, and stability it brings. As it comes to the learning process, the conventional “schooling” is also greatly transformed by Internet towards an advanced form of networked learning. Learning process is now not limited within an isolated classroom or a single textbook. You can easily have access to all the information and knowledge, jump into a discussion on online forum consisted of diversified groups of people, and express your opinions anytime/anywhere. The Internet-based learning, being one form of “connected learning”,1 bridge all the information and opens a new door for higher education with enormous benefits.
However, when this networked learning gradually extended to every classroom, there still have several challenges to be properly addressed. Using a laptop or PC for learning process can always be a distraction in conventional classroom or study room, especially for those freshman. New concepts tend to be boring, and complicated equations are always tedious. With a laptop on the desk and a whole world of interesting things happening every seconds, the lecturer can easily lose control to young students. This challenge urges lecturer to rethink about their way to deliver key information and make their fast-paced class more intriguing and understandable. On the student’s side, more self-control is preferably required for enhanced learning efficiency.
Networked learning via Internet requires more critical thinking for all the information. The traditional textbook-centered learning approach tends to deliver safe and well-confirmed knowledge to all learners. As Internet being a massive flee market of information and knowledge, students should carefully read through all related information online and rule out fake claims and incorrect messages. This process can be rather difficult for those students stepping into a new and unfamiliar area. Though more practice can certainly help, teachers should provide proper aid at starting period to help students understand fundamental principles and guide them through screening stage.
The last challenge for networked learning online is to effectively convey your points and messages in a professional way. As Doug Belshaw mentions in his blog, “ensure your data is readable by both humans and machines”.2 Students tends to treat Internet as a casual space, and hence their writings may have lots of oral language, confusing abbreviations, and/or random tags learned from social network, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. It is better to separate the writing pattern of insightful blog with that on social network to promote deep and more efficient communication. Having more practice in professional blogging can definitely help, but it could be better if university can offer workshops on professional blogging for freshman. Online blogging and forum certainly provides us a channel to access the professional and unique perspectives from others, post our own critiques, and eventually understand the original information better via comprehensive discussion. No information is an island in this digital era, and no learners should be separated from others.
For Ito’s most recently published thoughts on this topic, see Henry Jenkins, Mizuko Ito, and danah boyd, Participatory Culture in a Networked Era: A Conversation on Youth, Learning, Commerce, and Politics (Malden, MA: Polity Press, 2015).
Having an oral conversation is a much easier way to communicate, however, also have a rich valuable information that you can come back to that is stored on a website is more of a value. I agree with what you said about having more practice in professional blogging, It defiantly will help especially when it’s a professional community. So when having workshops or orientation in blogging new students get as much experience from this way of this new learning environment.
I cannot see how we can ever truly get away from the oral conversation. Even the best VOIP online classroom systems add a barrier to communication between the prof and students – it is still possible, just much more awkward. And video lectures completely eliminate student –> prof communication.
Maybe the technology will improve significantly and eliminate these issues – but for now, I’d much prefer a lecture course to any other format.
Thanks for the comment! Right now at Virginia Tech, some classes are videotaped, which provides a valuable chance for students who want to revisit the oral conversation during the class. Uploading the class video to a shared platform online and granting the access to all enrolled students can also enable further discussion after the class and promote networked learning.
Very well written. You mentioned tags that people use in social networking and that makes me think about all the random hashtags that people use. Hashtags when used appropriately makes it easier to look up for specific content and create a well connected space of similar ideas, however haphazard use of hashtags could be useless.
I’m quite agree with you on this point. Sometimes I need to use google to learning the “current meaning” of a certain tag or hashtag.
Thanks for this post. I agree that using the internet in the classroom requires more critical thinking but I also think that this is a very important skill that we need to be promoting in students. When they leave the classroom the vast majority of them will be using the internet to gather information and teaching them how to properly collect and discern what information is reliable is extremely important. On another note, I really enjoyed the article that you linked to “No Academic is and Island.” I think that we definitely need to develop better blogging communities in academia and create a stronger network to share ideas and promote dialogue.
I second your thought that better blogging communities are required in academia. Though we have lots of conferences each year with thousands of oral and poster presentations to promote face-to-face discussion, academic blogging provides an alternative approach for everyone to be engaged in the research topic, anytime and anywhere. However, it is also very important to know our target audience and adjust the written language.
Very well said Shiqiang. As you said in the beginning, we are so on the internet now and life seems impossible without it. The Internet is the major way of communication and without it, teaching and learning seem impossible in the modern age.
It is hard to imagine the time when we were young and all the teaching happened only on the blackboard. No recording and video is provided, and you can only count on yourself. Good old times.
Hi! Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed your blog and I liked your perspective on professional blogging. I agree that it is a practice that will make stronger academics out of all of us! Writing composition is difficult, even for native speakers who are out of practice… (Often, this is me!) I have really gotten a lot out of the classes that have thought of creative ways to integrate a blogging component in the curricula. I think you have a good idea about offering blogging courses to (freshman) students– I’m sure there are a ton of students out there who would benefit from developing the skills required to produce quality content. I look forward to reading more of your writing this semester!
Thanks for your post! I really enjoyed reading it! One part of your blog that really stood out to me was the need to meet students where they are and to try to understand the needs and struggles of the students. You mentioned first-year students potentially needing more guidance identifying good sources, identifying when technology is helping vs. distracting, etc. and I would definitely agree with this. I taught a few first-year courses and students often struggled with these things. Additionally, in one of my classes, we had a discussion about the need to be aware of what students post on social media because potential employers can and do look at sites like Facebook to learn more about a potential candidate. Students who are preparing to graduate and are using blogs or a personal website to promote themselves as they apply for jobs may have different challenges and needs. Thanks for the interesting post!
The self-discipline is a very good point (and a quality I lack). I am a bit older than the average grad-student, and back when I was an undergrad there was no WiFi or smart phone (the first iPhone came out in 2007, I’m not that old). We sat in the class and listened to the lecture – the best opportunity for distraction was doodling in our notebooks.
Today, I have trouble keeping myself from browsing the web in class, and I’m a geezer. I have no idea how the 18-19 year old students can do it. Moreover, in a distance class, like a MOOC, the onus to study and keep up with the course falls entirely on the student (no grade penalties). I’d bet not more than 20% of students who signed up for a MOOC actually finish it.
It seems that self-discipline is more relevant to schooling than ever, but we also live in a day when it is constantly eroded by distractions. I am not sure how we can reverse this trend.
In 2015, I signed up for two courses on Coursera during the semester and completed none of them. I believe I’m way too positive about my time schedule during the semester when I can easily get swamped. It should be easier to complete the MOOC during summer or winter vacations.
The reference here is to the famous line “No man is an island” from Devotions upon Emergent Occasions, a 1624 prose work by English poet John Donne. In that poem, Donne is getting at the idea of human unity and interconnectedness (“…any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”). I am curious how you think this concept translates to information. Is all information the same then? Does it all emanate from the same place? Is it all part of the same whole? Does misinformation still contribute somehow to our collective knowledge as a society?
Thanks for the comment! To be honest, though I’m dealing with lots of information everyday as a graduate student, I’ve never take time to think about these questions deeply. But I believe all the information should be connected somehow. For those information that appears to be very distinct from each other, we just have not find the right connection to bridge them. I believe the whole world around us is a little bit like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Some parts of the puzzle is quite complete, and hence we can clearly see the connection. Still, some parts are quite new to us, and the information we currently have is just a few pieces of puzzle. It takes time to unveil the the whole picture, and networked learning can certainly help accelerate this process.
Being clear on the difference between different types of writing, even online writing, is so important! English and communication classes need to emphasize this to a greater extent. Blogging is very different from using most Web 2.0 social media platform. If you are an English instructor, you wouldn’t be well-advised to encourage students to tweet before they fully grasp that colloquial language, emoji, etc, are variations on a standard that needs to be upheld in other contexts.
I explicitly ban the use of technology in my classroom for the reasons you listed — the major reason being distraction. I make it clear that if students have differences in ability that required them to use an electronic device, they can, but aside from that: no. I wonder if other GTAs here do the same thing? | 2019-04-22T21:08:21Z | null | 400.4 | 12,080 | null | 0.020199 | [

The aim of this article is to identify the strongest evolutionary debunking argument (EDA) against moral realism and to assess on which empirical assumptions it relies. In the recent metaethical literature, several authors have de-emphasized the evolutionary component of EDAs against moral realism: presumably, the success or failure of these arguments is largely orthogonal to empirical issues. I argue that this claim is mistaken. First, I point out that Sharon Street’s and Michael Ruse’s EDAs both involve substantive claims about the evolution of our moral judgments. Next, I argue that combining their respective evolutionary claims can help debunkers to make the best empirical case against moral realism. Some realists have argued that the very attempt to explain the contents of our endorsed moral judgments in evolutionary terms is misguided, and have sought to escape EDAs by denying their evolutionary premise. But realists who pursue this reply can still be challenged on empirical grounds: debunkers may argue that the best, scientifically informed historical explanations of our moral endorsements do not involve an appeal to mind-independent truths. I conclude, therefore, that the empirical considerations relevant for the strongest empirically driven argument against moral realism go beyond the strictly evolutionary realm; debunkers are best advised to draw upon other sources of genealogical knowledge as well.
If not as an evolutionary challenge, how should Street’s EDA be understood? Several commentators (Enoch 2010; Clarke-Doane 2012; Crow 2016; Klenk 2017; Tersman 2017; Schechter 2018) have interpreted her argument as the moral analogue of the Benacerraf-Field challenge for mathematical Platonism. Roughly, in its generalized form, this is the challenge of explaining how we can reliably track facts or truths about some specified domain, if we assume that these facts or truths are stance-independent and causally inert. Reframed in the context of moral realism, the challenge is to explain how we have managed to arrive at moral beliefs that are mostly true (hence reliable), assuming—as many moral realists do—that the truth-makers of these beliefs are stance-independent and causally inert facts. Evolutionary considerations are inessential to this challenge; any causal explanation for why we endorse the moral judgments we do suffices to generate it.
I submit that these commentators are right to point out that the Benacerraf-Field challenge is one of the most potent philosophical challenges for moral realism and that part of Street’s work—especially her (2016) practical/theoretical puzzle—relies on a challenge along much of the same lines. But it would be a mistake to identify the Benacerraf-Field challenge with the challenge embodied by the Darwinian Dilemma. One obvious difference between them is that evolutionary considerations are irrelevant to the former, whereas they are crucial to the latter, as I will demonstrate in this article.
These commentators are also right to point out that many EDAs in metaethics, including Street’s Darwinian Dilemma, partly rely on metaphysical and epistemological assumptions. But even if evolutionary considerations—or empirical considerations more generally—don’t do all the work in challenges against realism, it would be a mistake to think that they barely do any work in them. I will argue that with regard to Street’s Darwinian Dilemma, empirical considerations are central to evaluating its ultimate success. Moreover, I will argue that in order to make the best empirical case against realism, debunkers following Street’s tracks should move beyond the strictly evolutionary realm and invoke historical considerations as well, in order to fashion an adequate response to realists who deny the dilemma’s evolutionary premise (e.g. Shafer-Landau 2012; FitzPatrick 2015; Huemer 2016).
The article proceeds as follows. In Sect. 2 I recapitulate Street’s evolutionary premise and the Darwinian Dilemma it gives rise to. In Sect. 3 I compare and contrast Street’s argument with Michael Ruse’s claim about the evolutionary contingency of our moral attitudes and show how Ruse’s contingency claim gives rise to a slightly different EDA against realism. In Sect. 4 I argue that taken individually, Ruse’s and Street’s respective EDAs each face a specific objection, which they can salvage by drawing upon each other’s arguments. In Sect. 5 I outline a strategy for realists to block these EDAs: they can deny that evolutionary forces have deeply influenced the contents of our endorsed moral judgments. I submit that realists may be right to insist that the contents of some—perhaps many—endorsed judgments cannot be adequately explained in evolutionary terms. However, in Sect. 6 I proceed to argue that this does not safeguard realism from empirically driven debunking arguments: debunkers may still argue that the best historical explanation of our moral endorsements involves no appeal to mind-independent moral truths.
Street’s dilemma is generated by the empirical hypothesis that evolutionary forces have been a major causal influence shaping our evaluative attitudes (which includes our moral attitudes). More specifically, Street (2006, p. 119) claims that our ‘basic evaluative tendencies’ have been shaped by a process of natural selection. These tendencies are our intuitive inclinations—shared with many other species—to perceive certain behaviours as ‘called for’ or ‘demanded by’ the circumstances; for example, a natural urge to protect one’s offspring, or a tendency to seek pleasure and to avoid pain. This is Street’s so-called adaptive-link account of the origins of our evaluative tendencies: these tendencies originated as adaptive responses to environmental circumstances. While the contents of our evaluative tendencies do not strictly determine the contents of our ‘full-fledged evaluative judgments’, Street hypothesizes that they are related nonetheless: ‘[H]ad the general content of our basic evaluative tendencies been very different, then the general content of our full-fledged evaluative judgments would also have been very different, and in loosely corresponding ways’ (Street 2016, p. 120). In a first approximation, then, Street’s empirical premise is that natural selection has had a substantial -– albeit indirect—influence on our endorsed evaluative judgments.
Why would this empirical premise, if true, be troublesome for moral realists? Realists typically assume that the set of moral judgments that people endorse largely coincides with the set of stance-independent moral truths. But Street argues that this assumption cannot be maintained in the light of the evolutionary influences that permeate the contents of our moral judgments. This is what the first horn of her Darwinian Dilemma is meant to establish: assuming that there are stance-independent moral truths, we probably fail to track them.
or the realist holds that there is such a relation.
Both horns of the dilemma leave realists in an unappealing position, Street argues. On the first horn of the dilemma, realists must either explain how the contents of our moral judgments happened to coincide with the contents of the stance-independent truths or regard the evolutionary influences on these judgments as ‘distorting’—i.e. grant that these influences have resulted in judgments that are probably false, assuming realism. Simply positing that they coincide is question-begging, Street maintains: the realist needs to explain this coincidence. This ‘demand for an explanation’ is better understood as a demand for theoretical justification: realists need to show how it follows from their theory that our evolutionarily influenced moral judgments probably coincide with the stance-independent moral truths. But if realists deny that there is a relation between the evolutionary forces that influence our judgments and these independent truths, then it seems very difficult to provide such justification.
Realists who accept the second horn of the dilemma and grant that there is a relation between the evolutionary forces that have shaped our judgments and mind-independent moral truths are committed to a truth-tracking explanation: presumably, the correlation between our moral judgments and these independent moral truths is best explained by the hypothesis that it tended to be reproductively advantageous for our ancestors to make true moral judgments. But Street argues that this truth-tracking explanation is scientifically inferior to her adaptive-link account, according to which moral truths are ultimately a construction of our evolved attitudes. Our moral judgments don’t tend to be fitness-enhancing because we have tracked mind-independent truths that correlate with reproductive success. Instead, we tend to regard fitness-enhancing judgments as true, because this tendency increased the reproductive success of our ancestors. Hence, as an inference to the best explanation, moral realism is untenable.
The first horn of the Darwinian Dilemma can be reframed as a ‘reliability challenge’ for moral realism that is meant to establish the following conclusion: assuming realism, we have no guarantee that our moral judgments are generally reliable. To elucidate this challenge, we may frame it in terms of sets. Realists assume that the contents of the moral judgments that we endorse roughly coincide with the contents of stance-independent moral truths. But Street argues that given the vast number of alternative judgments that we could have endorsed, such a coincidence would be very implausible. Consider the various moral judgments that we do not endorse—from the judgment that ‘infanticide is laudable’ to the judgment that ‘plants are more valuable than human beings’ to the judgment that ‘the fact that something is purple is a reason to scream at it’ (Street 2006, p. 133). If the realist denies that there is a relation between the influence of natural selection on our judgments and the independent moral truths, then given the vast range of logical possibilities, it would be very remarkable if natural selection accidentally shaped our judgments in concordance with these truths.3 In all likelihood it has not, Street concludes.
How might realists respond to this challenge? Some have done so by challenging the relevance of the possibilities that Street invokes. Since Street is presenting an internal challenge to realism—assuming realism, we have no guarantee that our judgments are reliable—the judgments relevant to her challenge are the judgments we could make assuming realism. But not all realists grant that all logical possibilities are relevant, assuming realism (e.g. Berker 2014, p. 246; FitzPatrick 2014, p. 253; Wielenberg 2010, pp. 458–459). If the relevant possibility space can be strongly diminished, for example by showing that the possibilities Street envisions are unintelligible (FitzPatrick 2014) or conceptually deficient (cf. Cuneo and Shafer-Landau 2014), then Street’s claim that our judgments are likely to be off-track loses much of its force. Perhaps the rough alignment of our moral judgments with the independent moral truths will still be somewhat of a coincidence, but not nearly as unlikely as Street takes it to be.
The desideratum for realists who take on the first horn of Street’s dilemma, then, is to argue that a coincidence is sufficiently likely to justify the assumption that our moral judgments are generally reliable. Realists can do so by arguing that the set of possible moral judgments we could make, assuming realism, is much smaller than Street suggests. However, it won’t help the realist to merely posit that the set of possible judgments we could endorse is limited and clearly correlated with the set of judgments that are evolutionarily beneficial. Street’s explanatory demand is to justify why this is the case—i.e. to offer a theory-driven consideration, assuming realism, for limiting the relevant possibility space. To offer such a consideration after having granted that there is no relation between the evolutionary influences on our moral endorsements and the contents of mind-independent moral truths seems very difficult. In effect, by granting that evolutionary influences do not constrain the possibility space of candidate mind-independent moral truths, realists do commit themselves to the thesis that these truths might have been anything. The more promising option for realists, then, is to argue that there is a relation between the mind-independent moral truths and our evolutionarily shaped judgments. But this brings us back to the second horn of Street’s dilemma: realists can only frame this as a truth-tracking relation, which should be discarded on scientific grounds, or so Street argues.
In Ruse’s (1995) work we find two metaethical challenges for moral realism. In this section I briefly discuss both of them and zoom in on the latter challenge, which relies on an assumption about the evolutionary contingency of moral norms.
According to Ruse, morality can be regarded as a biological mechanism for fostering cooperation. Our moral sense is an adaptation, which is all the more effective in fulfilling its evolutionary function because it creates the illusion that morality derives from objective foundations external to ourselves. This is what makes morality work: we obey moral norms precisely because we take them to be objective. But the suggestion that morality has a stance-independent foundation is in fact illusory, as its evolutionary origins make clear.
In this passage, what does the work in Ruse’s EDA against realism is the assumption that a Darwinian explanation of our beliefs in objective moral truths makes the existence of their truth-makers metaphysically redundant: we no longer need to posit them. If our best evolutionary explanation nowhere supposes that our moral beliefs track objective truths, Ruse suggests, then we should erase these objective truths from our ontology.
Here Ruse relies on the idea that our value-judgments are evolutionary contingent: we might have evolved making very different value-judgments. Given this possibility, how do we know that our actual value-judgments are correct? If the range of possibilities implied by the contingency of our values is sufficiently large, then we should conclude that the reliability of our actual endorsements cannot be guaranteed; they are probably false. Hence, Ruse’s argument can be reframed as a reliability challenge for realism much like that of Street, but framed in terms of the contingency of our moral judgments.
Safety: S’s beliefs about a domain D are safe iff there is no nearby world in which S, using similar cognitive means to those in our actual world, arrives at false beliefs about D.
Safety is generally (though not universally) accepted as a necessary condition for knowledge.5 The underlying idea is that if S’s beliefs about a domain are unsafe—they could easily have been false—then their truth is merely a matter of luck. This realization seems to undercut the justification of S’s beliefs about D. Or in the context of moral realism: it provides an undercutting defeater for the hypothesis that our moral beliefs coincide with mind-independent moral truths. Justification may be reinstated, but the burden of proof is with realists to show that it can be.
Whether Ruse’s EDA is framed as a challenge for the truth of our moral judgments or the safety of our moral beliefs, assuming realism, on both versions the success of his argument hinges on the claim that our moral endorsements are evolutionarily contingent, which is -– at least in part—an empirical claim. More precisely, for his EDA to succeed, our moral endorsements should be contingent in a way that is troublesome for realism: the contingency of our endorsements should imply that either they are probably false, or that they might have easily been false, assuming realism.
In some respects, Ruse’s evolutionary challenge for realism is quite similar to Street’s Darwinian Dilemma. Both EDAs challenge, on evolutionary grounds, the assumption that our moral judgments track mind-independent truths, and both of them do so, at least in part, by presenting a reliability challenge for moral realism. But the challenges differ in the details. What motivates Ruse to question the reliability of our moral judgments, assuming realism, is that realism allows for the possibility that we might have evolved in such a way as to completely miss the mind-independent moral truths. This claim presupposes that our moral judgments are evolutionarily contingent; if they are, then either our moral judgments are false or they might easily have been, assuming realism.
By contrast, for the success of Street’s argument it is irrelevant whether or not our evolved moral beliefs are contingent in an evolutionary sense. Even if they are not—i.e. even if from an evolutionary point of view, our moral beliefs could not have been any different—Street can still raise her challenge for moral realism: to account for the striking correlation (striking, that is, in the light of the vast space of what is logically possible) between the moral judgments that we take to be true and judgments that tend to contribute to our reproductive success. Hence, what motivates Street to question the reliability of our moral judgments, assuming realism, is that realists do not have a proper explanation, informed by their own theory, for the assumed coincidence between our moral judgments and the mind-independent moral truths. What seems to be the only possible realist proposal to explain this coincidence—to advance a truth-tracking account—is untenable on scientific grounds.
While Street’s Darwinian Dilemma does not depend on a claim about evolutionary contingency, in this section I will demonstrate that such a claim might nonetheless help her argument. I will argue that some of the most popular responses that realists have offered to Street’s dilemma—so-called third-factor accounts—lead to contingency worries like those that Ruse invokes. Moreover, I will argue that one potent reply against Ruse’s EDA—an appeal to evolutionary constraints—arguably reinforces the empirical hypothesis underlying Street’s Darwinian Dilemma. Hence, by advancing Street’s and Ruse’s respective EDAs in tandem, debunkers can deflect some common realist replies.
First, consider some prominent third-factor accounts that realists have advanced in reply to Street’s dilemma. Third-factor theorists submit that there is a relation between the evolutionary influences on our moral judgments and the independent moral truths, but argue that this relation is indirect: there is some third-factor involved which indirectly causes our basic evaluations and grounds their truth. In order to come up with a third-factor explanation, realists have to make some modest assumptions about which evaluations are in fact true. For instance, David Enoch (2010, p. 430) bases his third-factor explanation on the assumption that ‘survival is at least somewhat good’. Since evolution ‘aims’ at survival, what evolution aims at is at least somewhat good. Another third-factor account, proposed by Knut Olav Skarsaune (2011, p. 230), starts from the assumption that ‘pleasure is usually good and pain is usually bad’. Since natural selection has generally led us to seek pleasure and to avoid pain, it has caused us to value things that tend to be good.
The alleged upshot of third-factor accounts is to explain why it need not be regarded as a striking coincidence that our evolved moral endorsements correlate with the independent moral truths. But it is questionable whether the accounts of Enoch and Skarsaune succeed in showing this. One of the difficulties that their accounts face is that the modest moral assumptions they invoke allow for the evolution of various kinds of moral judgments, many of which realists will presumably regard as false.6 For instance, there is a wide variety of behaviours that can be survival-enhancing, including cheating, stealing, free-riding and making self-serving moral judgments.7 Likewise, there is a variety of behaviours that can induce pleasure, including making jokes at the expense of helpless others or eating factory-farmed animals. Presumably, realists will regard the moral judgments that accompany such behaviours, or at least many of them, as off-track: they do not track independent truths. However, it is not the third-factor explanation that tells us so; indeed, these are all behaviours that the proposed third-factor explanation might allow for. As a result, third-factor theorists once again face a reliability challenge: of all the moral judgments we could have made in the light of the proposed third-factor explanation, what guarantees that our actual judgments coincide with the mind-independent truths?
This challenge is structurally similar to the first horn of Street’s Darwinian Dilemma. The debunker argues that realists need to show that it follows from their theory that our evolutionarily influenced moral judgments probably coincide with the stance-independent moral truths, and that third-factor theorists like Enoch and Skarsaune have failed to show this. But in addition to Street’s original EDA, the reliability challenge now explicitly relies on considerations about evolutionary contingency. If the realm of moral judgments that we might evolve, assuming realism, is merely constrained by the assumption that survival is somewhat good, or that pleasure is usually good and pain usually bad, then the reliability of our actual judgments cannot be guaranteed. The realist has established a relation between the evolutionary influences on our judgments and the independent truths, but she has not sufficiently constrained the relevant possibility space: replay the tape of life and we might evolve survival-enhancing judgments with very different contents. Enoch’s and Skarsaune’s accounts still allow for the possibility that we might have evolved to love our neighbours, whereas, really, we should hate them.
Such evolutionary counterfactuals may be suggestive, but how plausible are they? Realists might counter that a capacity to make moral judgments is only evolvable for species quite similar to ourselves—e.g. species with a language-infused capacity for making judgments and deliberating about different courses of action, a cognitive capacity for norm-guided behaviour and an emotional sensitivity for the well-being of others. Hence, rather than accepting that our moral judgments are evolutionarily contingent, realists might argue that there are developmental or adaptive constraints which limit the possible contents of such judgments. If this counterargument holds up, then Ruse’s contingency argument does not get off the ground: if we could not have easily evolved as a species with a moral capacity while endorsing very different moral norms, then we could not have easily missed morality’s ‘real essence’. As a result, we would have no reason to question the truth or justification of our moral beliefs, assuming realism.
The biologist Jeffrey Schloss (2014) has recently argued along these lines. Schloss holds that there are strict structural and developmental constraints on the evolution of a moral capacity, which limit the resultant contents of judgments that a species with a moral capacity might feasibly endorse. These constraints include not only high levels of sociality and intelligence, but also ‘life expectancy, mortality rate, fertility rate, body size, and the relationship between degree of infant dependence, parental care, lifelong pair bonding, group hunting, and even bipedal gate (which modified the pelvis resulting in increased dependence, care, and pair bonds)’, according to Schloss (2014, p. 110). This combination of features does not evolve easily—and neither does a capacity for moral judgment. The fact that on our planet this capacity has evolved only in one species suggests as much.8 If Schloss is correct, then we should expect that the evolution of a moral sense in any species will be closely tied to capacities that are distinctive of human beings. Counterfactuals like those of Ruse, Schloss submits, may be ‘as impossible for biology as a square circle is for geometry’ (idem, p. 109).
Schloss’s argument, if correct, helps realists to block Ruse’s contingency challenge. But it also serves to reinforce the general empirical claim underlying Street’s Darwinian Dilemma—namely, that evolutionary forces have been a major causal influence shaping our moral attitudes. While Street (2006) herself gives substance to this evolutionary claim by advancing an adaptationist explanation of the contents of our moral judgments, her appeal to natural selection is not strictly necessary for the purposes of her EDA: debunkers following Street’s approach merely need to provide evidence that evolutionary forces—however specified—have played a major causal role in shaping our judgments. Since Schloss’s appeal to developmental constraints serves to corroborate this empirical hypothesis, it leads to the Darwinian Dilemma: realists have to explain how the evolutionary forces that have influenced our moral judgments are related with the stance-independent moral truths.
In sum, by borrowing elements from both Street’s and Ruse’s respective EDAs, debunkers can enhance their best argument against moral realism. Street’s dilemma can be extended by an appeal to evolutionary contingency, which serves to refute some of the most popular third-factor accounts. An evolutionary rebuttal of Ruse’s contingency thesis, in turn, serves to corroborate the evolutionary premise of the Darwinian Dilemma.
Denying influence: A solution for realists?
Might realists be able to resist the debunker’s argument? Perhaps the most promising strategy for realists is to take a more radical stance and to resist the premise that the contents of our moral judgments have been saturated with evolutionary influence. In this section I present the best case for realists who pursue this strategy. I will argue that some realists are indeed well positioned to resist Street’s and Ruse’s empirical claims and to argue that evolution’s causal influence in shaping our moral endorsements has been relatively minor. As I will argue in the next section, however, realists who pursue this strategy are still committed to a controversial empirical claim—namely, that over the course of human history we have been able to track mind-independent moral truths.
Consider how realists who deny the empirical premise of the Darwinian Dilemma might think of the relation between evolution and our moral judgments. These realists may grant that evolutionary forces have had a moderate influence on our moral endorsements, in two respects. First, they may submit that evolutionary influences have thoroughly influenced the contents of some of our moral judgments, but submit that this influence does not generalize. Second, they may grant Street’s claim that natural selection has shaped the contents of our basic moral evaluations, but resist the further claim that this influence also affects our full-fledged moral endorsements. Instead, an adequate explanation of the latter should involve an additional factor: the process of grasping stance-independent moral truths.
Indeed, as it stands there may be good grounds for questioning Street’s adaptive-link hypothesis: the hypothesis our moral judgments can be explained in evolutionary terms, since our basic evaluative tendencies—e.g. feelings of pleasure and pain, and the accompanying intuitions about what is to-be-pursued and what is to-be-avoided—originated as adaptive responses to environmental circumstances. Even if our basic moral tendencies evolved as adaptive responses, it remains to be shown that they also provide the main source of input for our full-fledged judgments—and it is questionable whether they do in fact provide this input. Street acknowledges that our full-fledged judgments can ‘stray, perhaps quite far, from alignment with our more basic evaluative tendencies’ (Street 2006, p. 120), and stresses that it ‘is likely that we were selected above all else to be extremely flexible when it comes to our evaluative judgments’ (Street 2006, p. 158, fn. 20). But if our full-fledged moral judgments are rather different from our basic proto-moral tendencies, then Street’s adaptive-link account fails to explain, for the most part, the contents of our full-fledged moral endorsements.
Several realists (e.g. Shafer-Landau 2012; FitzPatrick 2015; Huemer 2016) have pursued a reply to EDAs along these lines, arguing that the contents of many archetypical moral judgments cannot obviously be explained in evolutionary terms. Consider moral judgments that foster inclusionary values, for example the judgment that all human beings ought to be treated respectfully, irrespective of their capacities or group membership, or the judgment that non-human animals should be treated as subjects of moral consideration (cf. Buchanan and Powell 2015). These value-judgments have only won widespread adherence in recent human history, which raises some doubt over the suggestion that their contents have been deeply influenced by evolutionary forces. Moreover, it is not obvious that such judgments are fitness-enhancing.
The most important factor shaping our moral endorsements, these realists maintain, is our capacity to grasp stance-independent truths. How did this capacity originate? Some realists have sought to explain it as a by-product of our general emotional and intellectual capacities. These capacities, perhaps stimulated by the emergence of human language and our subsequent capacity to systematically reflect upon and reason about our moral judgments, have enabled us to track truths of a mind-independent reality. FitzPatrick (2015, p. 889), for example, regards this truth-tracking capacity as an ‘intelligent extension of evolutionarily influenced evaluative judgment’.
If this account is along the right lines, then realists are well positioned to criticize EDAs on empirical grounds. First, consider Ruse’s contingency EDA. If rational moral reflection, fuelled by the recognition of stance-independent moral truths, has been the dominant factor shaping our moral judgments, then the contents of these judgments are likely to be invariant with respect to our species-typical characteristics. As a result, Ruse’s suggestion that our value-judgments are evolutionarily contingent loses much of its plausibility. Whatever biological inclinations Darwin’s hive-bees or Ruse’s termites might have, this need not translate into what they regard as a ‘sacred duty’ or ‘ethical imperative’. If hive-bees would indeed make moral judgments very different from ours, then their rational faculty has probably been ill-calibrated: their judgments are mistaken.
Next, consider Street’s Darwinian Dilemma. If we have indeed evolved a capacity to track stance-independent moral truths, then the first horn of Street’s dilemma is unproblematic for realists: the general reliability of our moral judgments is trivially guaranteed. Moreover, if the influence of natural selection, as well as other evolutionary forces, on the contents of our moral judgments turns out to be modest, then on the second horn of the dilemma, Street’s evolutionary explanation is no longer obviously superior to the realist’s truth-tracking account. After all, there is no longer a strong correlation between our evolved judgments and moral truths, and the weaker this correlation, the easier it will be for realists to explain it.
Some moral judgments (e.g. ‘We ought to foster the well-being of future generations’) have hardly been shaped by evolutionary forces. Instead, they are primarily products of our capacity to reflect on stance-independent moral truths. This is particularly plausible for moral judgments in favour of inclusionary moral commitments, which are typically beyond the scope of evolutionary explanations (Buchanan and Powell 2015).
Some moral judgments have been shaped by natural selection but simultaneously reflect stance-independent moral truths. The earlier-mentioned judgment that ‘pleasure is generally good and pain generally bad’ might be such a judgment. Arguably, something similar is true for several moral judgments that are explicable in terms of kin selection (‘If forced to choose, you ought to favour the well-being of your own children over the well-being of strangers’), reciprocal altruism (‘The fact that someone has treated you well is a reason to treat that person well in return’) or indirect reciprocity (‘The fact that someone is an example to society is a reason to admire her’). Note that for this part of the divide-and-conquer strategy to work, realists still have to dismantle the second horn of Street’s dilemma and argue for the superiority of a tracking hypothesis over an adaptive-link account (see Artiga 2015 and Deem 2016 for such attempts).
A third class consists of moral judgments that are the product of evolutionary forces which have led us away from the moral truths. For instance, ethicists typically argue that judgments fuelled by racial bias or by moralized disgust reactions are morally off-track. Evolutionary psychologists typically argue that such responses are largely explicable in evolutionary terms. Hence, realists may argue that these judgments belong to a class of evolved responses that should be regarded as generally unreliable.
Best historical explanation: A comeback for debunkers?
Realists who submit that the act of grasping mind-independent truths might play a legitimate—and important—role in causal explanations of our moral endorsements, and who are not impressed by the evidence that purports to show that these endorsements have been influenced by evolutionary forces, are well positioned to put pressure on EDAs. But as I will argue in this section, debunkers might be able counter this argument by shifting their empirical considerations from the evolutionary to the historical domain. Even if our full-fledged judgments have not been saturated with evolutionary influences, they may still be saturated with other causal influences—causal influences that typically belong to the explanatory domain of historians. If the best historical explanation of our moral endorsements nowhere involves an appeal to the fact that over the course of human history we have tracked mind-independent moral truths, then the realist’s truth-tracking hypothesis should be abandoned on historical grounds, or so debunkers might argue.
How does this historical debunking argument relate to Street’s EDA? As noted in the previous section, Street (2006) herself favours an adaptive-link account of the origins of our moral judgments. But she also seems to be aware of the limitations of this account and is sympathetic to the view that our basic attitudes are only weak determinants of our full-fledged judgments. Indeed, she highlights that apart from the indirect influence of natural selection, our full-fledged judgments have also been shaped by various other processes, such as social learning and deliberation, as well as the sui generis influence of rational reflection (see Street 2006, esp. sects. 4 and 5).
If these various non-evolutionary factors play a major role in shaping the contents of our moral judgments, then it is not obvious that the Darwinian Dilemma can get off the ground. But the ‘best explanation challenge’ embodied in the second horn of the dilemma need not be articulated in evolutionary terms. Debunkers can appeal to our best scientific explanations more broadly—particularly to explanations from the field of history—to argue that non-realist theories are superior on empirical grounds. The crucial condition for such explanations to have any debunking force is that they show that the best, scientifically informed genealogies of our moral endorsements involve no appeal to stance-independent moral truths.
Importantly, this debunking argument will only be problematic for realists who maintain that mind-independent moral truths have causal powers and that appealing to these truths is an integral part of the best causal explanation of our moral endorsements. But this, we have seen, is indeed the view of realists who deny the empirical premise of the Darwinian Dilemma (Shafer-Landau 2012; FitzPatrick 2015; Huemer 2016). These realists are committed to a scientific hypothesis—namely that we have been able to track, over the course of human evolution or history, stance-independent moral truths. In other words, by positing the existence of stance-independent moral truths and arguing that these truths cause our judgments, these realists enter the game of scientific explanation. Assuming that compatibility with our best scientific explanations is regarded as an important metaethical desideratum, if it turns out that this hypothesis cannot be corroborated—or is even clearly invalidated—by our best science, this will count as highly damaging to these realist positions.
Do the best, scientifically informed genealogies of our moral endorsements indeed involve no appeal to stance-independent moral truths? Answering this question in appropriate detail requires a historical case study of specific moral endorsements, which is beyond the scope of the present discussion. Still, to give an impression of how debunkers might proceed, consider the following brief sketch of a genealogy of inclusionary moral values.
Indeed, many contemporary moral judgments promote inclusionary values. How did this extension of moral concern come about, if not by grasping the stance-independent truth that ‘men of all nations’ deserve equal respect?
A crucial difference between the accounts of realists and debunkers rests on the question of whether the best explanation of our moral beliefs involves an appeal to stance-independent truths. This brings us back to the question with which we began—namely, which empirical considerations are relevant to the success of EDAs. If my argument has been along the right lines, then this empirical input is not limited to evolutionary considerations. In fact, it may well turn out that the most revealing test for the empirical tenability of moral realism is to scrutinize the historical genealogy of our moral endorsements in detail and to evaluate whether the relevant data are best explained with or without appealing to stance-independent moral truths. To provide such a detailed genealogy, and to evaluate its fit with a realist versus a non-realist metaethics, will be an important task for future metaethical inquiry.
I have argued that the evolutionary considerations that Street and Ruse invoke can reinforce each other in presenting the evolutionary debunker’s strongest case against moral realism. For realists who try to block Street’s EDA by proposing a third-factor account based on a general moral assumption, the contingency of the moral judgments that are evolvable in the light of this assumption seems problematic, as it allows debunkers to reinstate a version of the reliability challenge. For realists who try to block Ruse’s EDA by arguing that the contents of our moral judgments are evolutionarily convergent or constrained by developmental factors, the strong causal influence of evolutionary forces on our moral judgments thereby implied seems problematic, as it reinforces the general evolutionary claim underlying Street’s Darwinian Dilemma.
Perhaps the most promising reply of realists to evolutionary debunkers is to deny that evolutionary forces have saturated the contents of our full-fledged moral judgments. Several realists have insisted that these contents are better explained by our recognition of stance-independent moral facts. In order to support this thesis, realists have to vindicate a scientific hypothesis: over the course of evolution and human history, we have been able to track stance-independent moral truths. Since the thesis that we have been able to track stance-independent truths is key to a success epistemology of moral realism, vindicating this hypothesis is of crucial importance to its overall metaethical standing. Debunkers, in turn, may argue that the best historical explanation of our moral endorsements involves no appeal to this tracking thesis. What counts as the best historical explanation of the contents of our moral endorsements, then, will be crucial for settling this debate.
Street’s most obvious target among realist views is evaluative non-naturalism—roughly, the view that evaluative facts or truths are not reducible to natural facts and do not figure in causal explanations. Street (2006, section 7) also claims to target some naturalist views, but grants that other naturalists escape her challenge. On her taxonomy, the latter views do not count as genuinely realist, since they do not subscribe to the view that moral facts or truths are stance-independent. The term ‘stance-independence’ comes from Shafer-Landau (2003, p. 15), who characterizes it as follows: ‘The moral standards that fix the moral facts are not made true by virtue of their ratification from within any given actual or hypothetical perspective.’ In this article I use the terms mind-independence and stance-independence interchangeably.
I submit that the Darwinian Dilemma, understood as an argument that relies on truly evolutionary considerations, becomes more interesting when it is restricted to the moral domain. This is because much of the evidence in support of the hypothesis that many of our moral judgments can (at least indirectly) be evolutionarily explained is not—or not obviously—available with regard to many of our non-moral evaluative judgments.
In later writings Street speaks of conceptual possibilities (Street 2008) or conjures all conceivable possibilities (Street 2016). Mutatis mutandis, the same considerations apply to them.
The notion of ‘ease’—and the corresponding ‘proximity’ of possible worlds—is difficult to make precise. A potential strategy for doing so in an evolutionary context is to advance a variation on Stephen Jay Gould’s thought experiment replaying the tape of life: ‘nearby worlds’ are worlds that might ‘easily evolve’ if we could replay life’s tape.
Bogardus (2016, p. 647) himself criticizes the safety condition.
Debunkers have criticized third-factor accounts on other grounds as well. Here I restrict my discussion to the question of whether they can restore the reliability of our moral beliefs. Note that my criticism applies specifically to third-factor accounts which rely on highly general moral assumptions.
Braddock (2016) lists several examples of such behaviours, which have evolved over the course of human evolution. Presumably, realists maintain that the judgments fuelled by these ‘nasty norms’ are—and have always been—false.
That morality has evolved only in one species does not imply that it has evolved only once. In fact, a moral capacity may well have evolved in several human populations.
Realists may, of course, reply that it is very difficult to discover moral facts, and they may seek to explain why some of these facts have only been discovered recently (cf. Huemer 2016). The question, then, becomes whether this rival explanation is compatible with our best historical knowledge and superior to the debunker’s account. | 2019-04-24T14:16:39Z | null | 434.2 | 43,455 | null | 0.006397 | [

If you spend hours a week running and you wonder if the new Apple Watch is worth all of the hype, there are some great features you want to consider. The Apple Watch is going to offer a majority of the things that you already love using with your iPhone, but will have even more advantages. Read on for the Top 10 Apple Watch running features.
Not only is the Apple Watch going to help you with running, but it’s also going to help you accomplish a healthier lifestyle, and help you meet all of your fitness goals. Here are a few of the top features runners would be able to utilize if they had the Apple Watch.
It doesn’t matter if you head out on your bike, for a walk, or for a run, the Apple Watch is going to track how far you’ve gone with the GPS in your iPhone. You can also use GPS to find a way back to your starting point, or to see what roads or landmarks are around you.
The Apple Watch also has a built in barometer, so it’s going to measure the topography and elevation changes to make accurate calculations of the steps you take and distances you travel.
If you run with your iPhone or another device in your hand or strapped to your body, it’s likely that the device encounters moisture when you sweat. If the sweat causes problems with the device, you can leave these problems behind with the new Apple Watch. Not only will perspiration not be a nuisance, but you also don’t have to worry about running when it rains, or getting the watch wet while training.
The Apple Watch has capabilities to store your music so you can go for a run without having to take your iPhone, Nano or other MP3 player if you don’t want to. With a set of Bluetooth headphones, you can listen to music while on your run hands-free and without wires.
Do you hate going out for a run and having to find a place for your car key? Or having to take the hotel key card with you? The Apple Watch has been designed to work as a keycard with some hotels, and to potentially replace car keys. You can also program the watch to open your garage door.
If you like to go out and run with friends and then you all go out to eat, or you want to grab a beverage at a gas station, you can use the payment application on the Apple Watch, instead of needing your wallet or purse that can be left at home. These awesome options saves hassle and lets you run without needing pockets or accessories.
The Apple Watch has a heart rate sensor that touches the skin to monitor your heart rate. This sensor will determine how many calories you’re burning while you exercise, and the intensity level of your exercises. If you are trying to keep your heart rate above a specific level while doing sprints or long runs, this feature is going to give you the information and motivation to get there.
The Apple Watch will track how much you are moving throughout the day, to show you how long you sit, walk, run and more. You can look at reports from previous days, weeks and full monthly reports, and set goals for the future days ahead of you. The Apple Watch will remind you when to get up and move around, when to go out for a run, or what workouts you still need to accomplish to reach your goals.
Are you trying running to lose weight or get healthy, and you spend time counting calories? The watch can be used to download calorie counter apps that scan your food and calculate your calories, or you can input your calories after meals on the touchscreen. When you run, the Apple Watch will tell you how many calories you’ve burned out of what you ate for the day.
The Apple Watch has a battery life of up to 18 hours. Although this time will vary throughout the day with the amount of applications you use, you can count on it to last during a long run when it has a decent charge. During a workout with GPS going and other applications, it showed to last 6.5 hours. That is easily enough time to run a half or full marathon. More information on the battery life can be found here.
The Apple Watch wristband is designed to be very comfortable while working out, and to wear throughout the day. Strapping a phone to your arm or outfit, or tucking it away somewhere can be very uncomfortable. The watch is lightweight and can be securely worn around the wrist with the smooth band that is suitable for all wrist sizes.
The Apple Watch will get you to know you like a personal trainer would. It can track your progress throughout workouts and recommend different workouts or training programs for you, to help you improve your running and reach all of your goals. You can also download some of your favorite fitness applications that have training programs and use them while you run.
If you already have a sports watch and you don’t need a replacement, you may want to wait to preorder the Apple Watch, and hold off when it hits the shelves. The next model of the watch is supposed to have the built in GPS tracker that most runners would want to take advantage of. If you are looking for a watch to use while you run and you want a phone that is going to work like your iPhone or your iPad, this is going to be a great watch for you.
Do you think the Apple Watch can replace conventional GPS sports watches? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. | 2019-04-19T22:35:05Z | null | 354.6 | 5,225 | null | 0 | []

Soon there will be another meeting of the indie publishing group I attend nearby. The first hour will be for Q & A. At least one-third of the attendees will be new to the meeting.
One of the first questions will be about print-on-demand—digital printing used as a way to distribute books by filling every order as a custom order, but at a price that allows a profit.
For some reason, this topic simultaneously fascinates and perplexes many people. Usually I suggest watching a video showing the Espresso Book Machine producing a book like a sci-fi vending machine.
But that only covers the printing, and that’s not what’s confusing. One way to understand this is to follow a transaction through the system and see how the different players interact. Yes, we’re going to follow the money.
Publisher—That’s you. Maybe the author, too. Let’s say you’ve got your book ready to self-publish. You have an ISBN, you’ve created a publishing company, your cover’s designed and your text block is in PDF and ready to upload.
PoD Supplier—That’s a digital book printer who’s hooked into the book distribution system. There may not be that many of them. Most of the companies advertising their services as “self-publishing companies” are themselves using one of the PoD suppliers and perhaps adding editorial or prepress services like book and cover design. No, the best example to use is Lightning Source (LSI), a division of Ingram Book Company.
Retailer—That’s any retailer with an account at Ingram. How about Amazon.com? But it could be any retailer, online or offline.
Book Buyer—Contrary to expectations, digital life hasn’t killed off book reading, and the number of books published and sold gets larger every year. These book buyers are the reason print on demand exists.
As publisher, you’ve selected LSI as your PoD supplier. You upload your book files to their server. LSI prints out a copy of the book on the same equipment they will later use to print your books when they are ordered. They send you this proof so you can approve the book for release.
You’ll notice, by the way, on the last page of the book is a barcode and a place of manufacture. The one I’m looking at is from Breinigsville, Pennsylvania. The bar code helps their automatic equipment match the cover and interior correctly.
You log into your account and approve the book for sale. When you set up your account at LSI, you were asked to set a Discount for the book trade. You only get to specify one discount percent for all orders to retailers, at any quantity. Let’s say for the sake of discussion that when you filled out that particular screen you set your discount at 20%, the lowest allowed by LSI.
Throughout this discussion, you have to remember that a PoD supplier, like PoD itself, is a hybrid group of functions. LSI will be both your book printer and your book distributor, through Ingram.
When you release the book it gets added to the electronic data feed that Ingram puts out to notify its thousands of customers about new titles added to their catalog. Along with the listing goes the data you entered about the book when you were filling out screens at the LSI website.
Retailers like Amazon pick up the feed from Ingram and add these books to their databases, using ISBN as the unique identifier for each book and each edition. They will generate a webpage for your book on their website and use the data from LSI to fill the page. Your book is now available for sale. It’s got a big “buy” button just like every other book on Amazon.
Your book has a retail price of $10. You have set your wholesale discount to 20%. The last piece of information you need to follow the money is the amount that LSI will charge you for their services. Let’s say your book is 200 pages, 6″ x 9″. It will cost $3.50 for each copy at LSI, for printing and fulfilling the orders.
Our book buyer, meanwhile, has been browsing Amazon looking for information on your topic, and sees your book. It’s just what he was looking for, so he adds it to his cart and places his order. He’s pleased to see that he’s also going to get a discount, because your $10.00 book is selling for $9.00. He’s happy.
Amazon receives the order and identifies the supplier for the book as LSI. The order, along with thousands of others just like it, is transmitted to the computers over at LSI. Your files are downloaded to the printing equipment and a few minutes later a copy of your book is ready to ship.
But what about the buyer’s $9.00? Amazon is free to sell your book for any price it likes. It has discounted it 10%, so that from every sale it will make a profit of 10%. Why?
Every copy of your book ordered from LSI will cost the buyer $8.00. You set your price at $10.00 and your discount to retailers at 20%, so LSI will demand $8.00 ($10.00 – $2.00) per copy for filling any orders.
Now Amazon, if they wanted to, could sell your book for $10.00, or for $21.95, or for $4.99. For each copy sold, they still have to pay LSI $8.00. If they collect $9.00 for the book and pay LSI $8.00, their profit is the $1.00 left over.
LSI only prints books that are already ordered and paid for, so you never have to worry about the money flow once you’re set up. All the money will be flowing toward you, automatically.
So when Amazon orders the book for the book buyer, they also transmit $8.00. LSI prints the book and ships it. The shipping costs are covered by Amazon, who also handles any customer complaints or returns. They earn their money, in my opinion, since I don’t want to do any of those things.
LSI deducts the cost of their service, $3.50, from the $8.00. What’s left is $4.50 profit for you, the publisher. This money is deposited to your account at LSI and, once a month, is paid out to you. You will also receive a printout showing how many copies of each book has been sold.
The buyer spent $9.00 and ended up with a copy of the book he wanted.
The retailer ended up with $1.00 profit.
The PoD supplier ended up with $3.50.
The publisher ended up with $4.50 in profit in completely passive income, 45% of the retail price.
Digitial book printing together with print-on-demand book distribution has transformed self-publishing. There are now people getting books into print for very little money, working online book review and publicity sources, getting attention in social media, and selling thousands of books at profits that obliterate what authors used to get as royalties from traditional publishers. It’s an exciting time.
Having read this far, you too, can now explain how print on demand works. All you had to do was follow the money.
Thanks Joel for all your valuable information. I am an aspiring Indie Writer and have been preparing a manuscript for print sometime late this year. It is my first book and I want to do it right. I am currently planning its distribution, so maybe just maybe it would be a best seller. At least that’s the goal for now. I have already decided to target local libraries, bookstores in the surrounding geographical area where I live — New Jersey. I have joined local networking groups and writer groups; and also want to market it as an e-book to Amazon and Kindle. Please offer me any suggestions.
It is not clear how to set up.
Is the charge of $ 3.50 fixed for any book. Does it not depend upon size and number of pages?
You undertake work on any particular subject for books, or book on any topic would be entertained?
Only Amazon is the only retailer or are there many?
Which countries, you would be selling?
What is the method of advertizing? and what cost? who bears this cost?
I am author publisher from India and have a few MSS.
awesome information. i knew the score but you double confirmed it for me. go Indie writers.. also guys don’t forget kindle too is an awesome way of getting hooked up at a very low cost. i have written a 180,000 word military sci-fi thriller. now im trying to prune it down before i send it to LSI. what i figure is that the book cost will not be so different, no matter how much i am able to prune it. since the content i feel is interesting right till the end, i think im about to upload the whole thing to LSI. im assuming the 9×6 book with 400 pages or something will still be around the 7 dollar mark and i will have to sell at 16 dollars to make a decent profit. well lets see.. i will be done editing in a few days and then we shall see!
Thanks for your comment, saif, and good luck with your book!
How has that gone? I’m in the same boat as you, I wrote a ~450 fantasy/satire that I first published on Kindle and am now publishing through LSI, going about it basically the same way as you.
Hope it’s gone well for you!
Saif, did you ever go through LSI? Would love to know what happened and how things are going with the sell of your book.
And a pretty persuasive argument for ebooks, too.
Watching the video of books produced on the Espresso machine makes me wonder how the spines hold up.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen one, but I recently found out there’s a machine in San Francisco so I’m planning on a field trip. With pictures.
Not necessarily. I order several times a week fro mAmazon, so I pay $79 per year for unlimited 2-day shipping, or $3.99 fo rnext-day shipping on any item sold by Amazon (not by independent vendors selling on the Amazon site) This works for books, and even big expensive TVs and barbecue grills, and things can be shipped anywhere in the US–not just to the member's home.
Some of my more-popular books are stocked by Amazon rather than being drop-shipped by LS to the reader. In this case there are TWO shipping charges that have to be paid for by someone.
B&N and Borders have membership programs that provide free shipping, too.
This is the part that has always amazed me about POD with LSI.
The minimum "rack rate" for UPS ground shipping from LS in Breinigsville to me is $11.44. if LS is able to negotiate a huge EIGHTY PERCENT discount, they'll pay UPS $2.29.
$3.50 less $2.29 leaves just $1.21 for paper, cover stock, toner, salaries, overhead, profit, taxes, etc.
If that book had to go to Wasilla, Alaska, the rack rate for shipping would be $25.09. With a huge 80% discount, LS would pay UPS over five bucks, and would lose money on the $3.50 paid by Amazon.
I'd love to know how much it really costs LS to print a book.
Michael, when you order from Amazon, don’t they charge you shipping? LSI isn’t in this business to lose money, I don’t think they are just picking up the shipping, that’s between Amazon and the book buyer as far as I know.
LOVE IT! This is EXACTLY the way I’m going, and I just got my ISBN and the application kit from Lightning Source.
Cheers to the future: INDIE Publishing!

Jeff, best of luck with your book, and keep flying that INDIE flag!
You obviously have grown children and no toddlers around you… I envy the time you spend on this site.
Chris, you crack me up. I have a kid in school, pal, I do this when you’re asleep, you lazy lout. And I have a day job, too. But you already knew that. And hey, I’m waiting for your book to come along so I can put in a bid! Keep me in the loop.
You can bid on writing the bloody book for me if you want!
I’ll give you half the profits… should fund us a coffee each at least. Maybe half shares in an Oreo too! | 2019-04-21T06:56:48Z | null | 614.4 | 11,360 | null | 0 | []

Shiva Shakti Yoga – An India based Classical Hatha Yoga Teacher Training School India (Yoga Alliance RYS). Our Foundation and Advanced Yoga Teacher Training programs have transformed more than 400 lives and have shaped professional Yoga Teachers.
Shala is a place wherein exchange of knowledge takes place. In a shala the duality of a receiver (student) and a giver (teacher) remains throughout the process of learning. Yog Shala on the other is a sacred space where the students present themselves as Seekers and the teacher appears in the form of Guru to share the Knowledge of Yoga and Experience the Self to be Infinite. In the sacred space of Yoga Shala there the seeker and the guru experience communion rather than communication.
It is in this space that the guru empowers the seeker not only through ‘articulated talk’ (vaikhari vani) but also through ‘the sound of heart’ (madhyama vani), ‘sound that is perceived only by internal vision’ (pashyanti vani) which is normally known to the yogis of high order and the ‘voice of divine’ (para vani). In the environment of the Yoga Shala there is a possibility that the seekers transcend themselves to the state of a mumukshu – the one who is the ideal seeker and thirsty for the knowledge of ultimate truth.
The energies of the yoga shala are such that during the process of the Teacher Training Course or by the end of it the guru and the seeker are bound to experience themselves not as two but as one being. To ensure that the energies of the yog shala are pure and from higher dimensions various ritual (homa and havana) are performed in the yoga shala space from time to time.
The seeker can experience the same warmth, care, protection and love in the yoga shala as a child can experience in the mother’s womb. In the environment of yoga shala the practice of the seeker will be nurtured and will gain a progressive trajectory.
We invite all the seekers to experience the divinity of yoga shala with us. | 2019-04-19T18:22:16Z | null | 545.5 | 1,964 | null | 0 | []

2/2/2014—News today that the California State Water Project will stop any allotment of water to the 25 million people and 1 million acres of farmland that it usually serves. The drought California is experiencing was called in the New York Times today, the worst in 500 years. Authorities were quick to note that this does not mean Californians will go thirsty. It means that local water must be found to make up the difference at a time that many parts of the State are experiencing drought—though some parts are not.
California has been experiencing below normal rain for three years. And a look at the U.S. Drought Monitor for today shows that most of America west of the Mississippi river is experiencing abnormally dry weather as well. This is also the new normal. A story on NPR this week reported that though Las Vegas has cut water consumption by 1/3 in the past 5 years, authorities there are warning of new cuts to come.
There are policy alternatives to help deal with these dry conditions. Water in Las Vegas, for example, is still among the cheapest in the United States. Rising water prices will husband this resource more intelligently.
But, in the end, if the conditions we see today are not drought, but the beginning of a new climate in the western United States, the beginning of expanding desertification, then there is no combination of policies that will cope with the new reality. If that is the case, then too many people live in the west and too much food is grown there to be sustained.
Obviously, I believe that these new conditions are part of a long range drying caused by climate warming—-whatever temporary conditions are also contributing right now. But, aside from causation, the drought in the west shows how absurd economic thinking is that suggests we can adapt to global warming. People will adapt, of course, but the pain and dislocation will be enormous. Ask the people in the west today whether they would be willing to spend some money on sustainable energy sources if it meant the end of the drought? They sure would. Prevention was always cheaper and better than coping with disaster. | 2019-04-25T16:34:33Z | null | 319.2 | 2,126 | null | 0 | []

Enjoy a breath-taking view over Lake Como.
Monte Legnone is the highest peak in the area. Its pyramid-like shape can be easily recognized, located at the end of the north side of Lake Como, between Valtellina, Valvarrone and Valsassina.
Apparently quite rugged at its summit, but it’s still one of the most visited peaks in the area, particularly along the track starting from Roccoli Lorla, it offers a spectacular view of the Central and Western Alpine Chain and on the Pre-Alps of Lecco.
From its peak there are different crests going down to the neighbouring valleys and towards the lake; on the east side it is easy to recognize the military paths of the Cadorna Line dating back to the WWI connecting Pagnona (Valvarrone) and Delebio (Valtellina). | 2019-04-21T10:53:46Z | null | 169.1 | 753 | null | 0 | []

STEVENS POINT - Brooke Schroeder admitted she enjoys a challenge on the volleyball court.
Well, they don't come much tougher in the Central Wisconsin Conference-8 than trying to deal with the powerful hitting of Weyauwega-Fremont senior Becky Schroeder, who seems intent on deflating the ball on every swing.
However, Brooke Schroeder and the rest of the Pacelli front row including Karah Kluck and Claire Rogers made her life difficult. If the Cardinals weren't getting a touch on her, Brooke was able to celebrate a block kill or roof with the rest of her teammates on occasion.
By keeping the Weyauwega-Fremont standout in check, the Cardinals had no problem recording a 25-14, 25-15, 25-17 sweep at the Student Activities Center on Thursday night to improve to 3-0 in conference play. Pacelli is now 14-4 overall.
"I love a challenge. My favorite thing about volleyball is blocking and shutting down big hitters," Brooke Schroeder said. "(Becky Schroeder) is an amazing hitter, she really is. Last year she gave us a run for our money. Every time she went up, she got a kill. So it was really fun this time to stick with her."
Pacelli has a potent hitting weapon of its own in senior outside hitter Andrea Pisarski, who showed off her power on more than several occasions.
Fortunately, there weren't a lot of crucial points to worry about in each set, but odds are Kluck, a sophomore setter, would find Pisarski, who finished with a team-high 16 kills on a fairly routine night. Kluck ran the show with 17 assists.
In contrast to Weyauwega-Fremont, the Cardinals have multiple options in their hitting attack. Kluck can look to Paige Hintz, Brooke Schroeder, Shannon Leary and Rogers to name a few and have confidence a kill will be coming.
That balance has been important to the promising start Pacelli is off to this season.
"We do have a lot of (hitting) options and that's something we've really been working on to have threats in every position," first-year Cardinals coach Jackie Struble said. "That's really helped us balance our team. When someone is having a bad day we can go to someone else and get some big kills out there."
As strong as the Cardinals can be in attack, it was the defense that carried them to the easy win against W-F.
When they weren't busy making life miserable for hitters at the net, the Pacelli back row was able to dig just about everything W-F threw at them. Nothing seemed to hit the ground except for an occasional communication issue.
Sometimes keeping the point alive meant setting the stage for a nice kill. More times than not, however, by digging balls up and scrambling around the court, the Cardinals were rewarded by a hitting error or passing mistake on the other side of the net. Pisarski keyed the defense with 15 digs.
An experienced group of returners for Pacelli has learned its lessons.
"One of the things they mentioned coming into the season is they got burned a lot of times on tips, so we spent a lot of time staying on our toes and making sure every ball gets up the best we can possibly do," Struble said.
"We have a lot of strong individual players and our whole goal is to play as a team and make every point count. We've been really attacking every opponent. We're working hard to earn every point and making them work hard for points." | 2019-04-24T11:03:20Z | null | 584.8 | 3,302 | null | 0 | []

For the last 20 years, I’ve cooked elaborate meals in even the tiniest of my Manhattan kitchens. But when my husband took a job in suburban Phoenix last year, I was stunned and quickly spoiled by the sheer magnitude of the kitchen in our rental house there.
The counters seemed to stretch endlessly and there were so many cabinets that the majority remained empty for the entire time we lived there.
Still, when we happily bounced back to Manhattan a month ago, it felt comforting to return to a tiny kitchen. And what my sparkling new kitchen lacks in space (it’s the tiniest one we’ve ever had), it more than makes up for in charm and a view of a bustling Upper West Side street to boot.
At the same time, the one thing I did know was that I had to look at the space with the precision of a scientist—throwing things in drawers and cabinets just wouldn’t work long-term. So, before I set foot in The Container Store, I asked Julie Starr Hook, a professional organizer, for a few general tips.
Hook urged me to be creative and make tactical decisions to stretch this space-challenged space. It was excellent advice. Below, Hook's seven tips and how I made it work with some space-efficient items provided at no cost so I could road test them in an authentic NYC kitchen.
Coffee mug hooks also save cupboard space and make use of the wall.
1. Use wall space for coffee mugs.
It’s a genius idea to use wasted wall space for storage. It took about three minutes to install six small cup hooks ($1.49) on the wall right next to my trusty coffeemaker. I picked the ones my husband and I reach for the most. Bonus: I got a full cabinet shelf back!
This stainless canister from SimpleHuman is used in Lambeth's kitchen for baking supplies.
2. Place kitchen utensils in a crock.
With next to no drawer space, I realized I’d have to keep key kitchen utensils on the counter. But I didn’t want a boring container so I repurposed this cookie jar from CaféPress ($44.50) and stocked only the utensils I reach for most often. The rest are relegated to a repurposed compost tin I picked up in Arizona; it holds things like corn holders and cheese knives that are only used on occasion.
Who's got space for a knife block? This knife rack makes use of empty wall space, to keep the counters (or what you have of them) free.
3. Keep knives out of reach.
I’ve heard for years that chefs prefer magnetic strips to knife blocks both for ease of use and cleanliness. And, with one more piece of wall to take advantage of, I installed this knife rack from Wayfair. It’s pricey ($79.99), but with a budding young chef in our house, we couldn’t take chances on a flimsier one. Bonus: I can now use my one and only drawer for the knives, forks and spoons my son reaches for to set the table.
Oxo see-through canisters stack nicely to make the most of vertical space.
I sought canisters I thought would fit the space and be the most useful. I ended up with Oxo Good Grips Pop canisters because I love how easily they stack up on top of each other. (Five are $49.99). For baking supplies, I opted for a set of three brushed-stainless-steel canisters from SimpleHuman ($69.99) for their slim size and the bonus: They’re finger print-proof.
A narrow "pantry bin" (also used for magazines), can be a great place to keep the things you reach for a lot--like plastic lunch bags and tin foil.
I used a narrow magazine bin to stow all the plastic lunch bags, tin foil, extra garbage bags, etc. we reach for regularly. It made use of a super-narrow cabinet that otherwise was just taking up space. Other options: Attach a bag holder to your cabinet doors.
Stacking bowls take up less room on the shelves. Hallelujah!
6. Find versatile, stackable pieces.
Since you have to be a giant to reach the upper shelves in my new kitchen, I found serving bowls that nest inside each other and are fun, too. I opted for a three-piece serving set of nesting bamboo serving bowls from Zak! Designs ($24.99) and expanded on my existing collection of latte bowls from Anthropologie. At $5 each, they’re colorful, fun, dishwasher-safe and can be used for everything from cereal to takeout.
Keep spices neat (and visible) with this spice rack that hangs on the wall and doesn't take up precious cupboard space.
7. Be realistic about spices.
Instead of collecting the most obscure of spices, I did some curating of the spices I need on hand. That list basically boiled down to six favorites, which fit perfectly on this Mastrad spice rack ($19.99). While you can hang this on a wall, I decided to stand it up on my window sill, inches from the stove and tucked right next a growing collection of planted herbs that just love my New York City kitchen. | 2019-04-23T13:57:27Z | null | 625.1 | 4,698 | null | 0 | []

Spain is an often under-appreciated source of cinematic genius. Odds are that you know Pan’s Labyrinth, but there’s so many other amazing offers for you from the largest piece of the Iberian Peninsula. Thankfully, director Richard Keaney is continuing his trip around the world to discuss great entry points into world cinema, focusing on five nerve-frying thrillers.
You know this by now: Thrillers are a universal language in film. Tension and thrills go beyond cultural barriers. They tap into an animalistic feeling inside us all. We all know that most people stay away from foreign film, but with these feelings at the core of each film, the language barrier will NOT be a problem.
Thanks for reading…and watching! Do you have any other Spanish thrillers that you’d recommend? Comment down below!
“Timecrimes” is really good, watch it if you can.
Hopefully the series goes there soon! | 2019-04-25T10:55:45Z | null | 437.8 | 889 | null | 0 | []

With a culinary lineage which includes Selva, Darwin’s on 4th, and Darwin Brewing, Chef Darwin Santa Maria is doing it again!
In Sarasota, a name synonymous with innovation, creativity, ethnicity, and a quality dining experience, Chef Darwin is showcasing his talents once again. Located in a small strip mall on the South Trail, (4141 S. Tamiami Trail) Darwin’s Evolutionary Cuisine is a small, casual, colorful, and tasteful dining space.
Staying true to his Peruvian roots, Chef Darwin melds traditional Peruvian cuisine with local ingredients and a twist in presentation. The result: a colorful, flavorful dish, where ethnicity and creativity combine to form a uniquely “Darwin’s dining experience.” The menu is large offering a range of starters, small plates, salads, and entrees. Although the menu has an ethnic bend, there are options for the less adventurous diner. In other words, there is something for everyone on the menu.
Full disclosure…I LOVE Darwin’s chopped salad. Served chilled, it is the perfect blend of textures and flavors, soft crunchy, smooth, and wrapped in a citrus dressing.
A beautifully plated, “work of art presentation.” Citrusy, briny, a true melange of textures and flavors. One of my faves!
Prepared as described, tender yet crispy on the outside (not an easy thing to do.) Nice char and color on the outside adding a little smokey flavor. This smokiness was complemented by the sweetness in the accompanying sauce. A great combination.
Refreshing, super moist, a 3 napkin handle, very juicy.
Crispy, creamy, colorful, crunchy. A great classic starter!
Creamy and crunchy, with a nice kick, fresh greens, the kale was very tender.
Such a classic dish. Super moist, tender, with a creamy risotto base. Very rich and filling. A large portion easily shared. One of my “go to” dishes.
Another classic rendition. Simply grilled, tender, with a nice contrast between the Chimichurri and the sweet plantain. Very satisfying.
Nice presentation, prawns were moist. The rice was sweet and delicious…almost like a pudding. Even though there was some spice/heat, it was not at all overpowering and the flavors came through deliciously.
Tender and rich. Very filling. Another plate easily shared between two people.
Darwin’s offers an adequate selection of wine, local craft beers, and soft drinks to accompany your meals. We found all the service staffs to be very friendly, knowledgeable, ready to assist in answering any menu questions, fast, and efficient.
If you are a lover of food, a culinary explorer, or someone just looking to try something new and exciting for dinner, Darwin’s Evolutionary Cuisine should be on your list. With a dining decor casual in outward appearance, plates detailed in presentation, and food exquisite in taste, the evolution of Chef Darwin Santa Maria continues.
One of the most delicious deals in town! Darwin’s Happy Hour Monday – Saturday 5:00 – 7:00. In addition, on Friday and Saturday nights, from 10:00 until closing, Darwin has a Late Night menu (similar to his HH menu). | 2019-04-18T14:51:22Z | null | 416.9 | 3,037 | null | 0 | []

A columnist’s take on being Asian—and being American—at UChicago.
This column is Part II of a two-part series about the experience of East Asian students at UChicago. Part I was published on January 15. It can be found here.
The alienation of international East Asian students from the domestic student population may seem to be the result of inevitable issues that arise for foreigners in a new country. The problem, however, becomes much more subtle and complex when the place of domestic East Asian students is considered.
Before I continue, I’d like to clarify that I am reporting a portion of the issues a specific, but significant, subset of the East Asian student body faces. Interpretations of racial identity, and the weight ascribed to those interpretations, vary hugely from person to person. I have met Asian students who do not share the anxieties I describe here, but I have also met many who do.
When I sat down at a table of Chinese international students, I should have felt hampered by language and cultural barriers. I am, after all, a Korean domestic student. Instead, though, that moment was the first time I felt truly comfortable at UChicago. Some East Asian international students also mentioned that they find it easier to talk to domestic Asian students than their Caucasian peers.
Research has shown that we are attracted to those that look more like us, and this undoubtedly plays a role in domestic and international Asian relations. This alone, though, does not fully explain the bonds connecting the Asian community. As I interviewed these students, I found that I sympathized with them more than I could have anticipated, and realized that there was a deeper emotional connection that ran through this community.
Some international students felt that domestic Asian students are more understanding of them than other domestic students. Intuitively, that makes sense; many of us are first- or second-generation children who have inherited stories of our parents’ struggle to adjust to life in the U.S. These stories range from eating lunch in the bathroom because no one would sit with them in the cafeteria to being discriminated against as a Chinese worker in California. We ourselves have our own stories of discrimination and social oppression, having grown up in a country with a European ideal of beauty and set of values, where kids on the playground chased after us yelling, “Where are your eyes?” and music teachers asked us if our parents “forced us to practice.” Often, these incidents do not stand out as formative moments in our memory as much as they weave a subtle and insidious narrative of otherness and shame tied to our ethnicity—an effect rarely talked about or even acknowledged, especially outside of the Asian community.
All of the students I interviewed said that, besides some isolated incidents, they did not feel wholly discriminated against at the University of Chicago. Past racism, though, continues to haunt us by shaping the way we see ourselves, and how we think others perceive us. One international Korean student said, “I’m always on the border: Am I really being discriminated against or is it all in my head?” Many East Asian students see their ethnicity as a social disadvantage, and this perception is enough to make them act shyer than they normally would.
We also, though, wish to be proud of who we are and where we come from. These two forces shape a unique Asian psyche: We are, and want to be, Asian, but we don’t want to appear too Asian. Many domestic Asian students I interviewed became defensive when I asked what percentage of their friends were Asian. Some defended what they felt was too high of a percentage; others, one that they felt was too low. I myself remember being proud of my mix of Caucasian and Asian friends in high school, thinking that I had achieved some sort of “good percentage” of Asian-ness. I now realize that this “good percentage” was probably just the socially acceptable one, moderate enough to appease both my Caucasian and Asian peers.
Before break, I attended an Asian(-American) InterVarsity meeting. I am not an international student; I come from Illinois. I experience no language barrier, and very little to no cultural barrier. Still, as the room burst into song and a girl put her arm around me, I felt a sense of relief and comfort so strong that I almost felt like crying. I felt, for the first time, immediately and easily accepted. Here I was, attending their penultimate meeting of the quarter, intruding on their already established social structure, and yet I was unquestionably one of them.
Ultimately what brings, and holds, UChicago’s Asian community together is an automatic acceptance of each other, which is closely tied to the acknowledgement and understanding of a complicated Asian identity. There is something to be learned from this. Progress towards a more unified campus is very possible, but must come from both sides. Although members of the East Asian community must branch out from their comfort zones, this will only happen when they feel confident that domestic students will accept and welcome their diversity of experience instead of misinterpreting their shyness. We must strive to replace judgment with unconditional understanding.

Any publicly traded company, no matter the size, needs to maintain consistent levels of outreach to the investor community. This is recognized as a non-negotiable factor in showing transparency in all of your dealings, increasing brand visibility and demonstrating your desire to engage and develop business relationships with both existing and potential investors.
The two things that your company wants to avoid at all costs are to be disengaged from your shareholders and to go entirely unnoticed by the investor community. Companies need to take advantage of a growing number of investors wanting to enter the market and looking for brands that are eager to engage with them. QualityStocks has a well-developed strategy to connect you with these investors and start meaningful dialogue on investment opportunities in your company.
Building a visual identity and broadcasting messages that spark investor interest are the first steps on the road to maintaining consistent company branding. This must be followed up with what your company has to offer in terms of unique positioning, products, operations, past achievements, market value and growth potential.
QualityStocks has all of the tools and resources needed to develop your image and broadcast your brand to the investor community. We achieve this by using various channels of communication, including press releases, social media outreach, email marketing, roadshows and investor conferences. | 2019-04-19T09:07:49Z | null | 331.1 | 1,453 | null | 0 | []

Daniel started physical therapy before Christmas for range of motion issues in his legs and toe walking. When he was evaluated he had a 2 degree (I think that's the right PT term) in one leg and 10 degrees in the other. Her goal is that he will have a 20 degree/percent when they are done. As of last Friday, he was at 16 in one leg and 17 in another. I can tell he is able to stretch his legs so much easier. He was measured for shoe inserts that will address his tendency to bounce off his toes as he walks. The toe walking was a lesser concern for her, than how tight his legs were.
Tera went to the orthodontist today for molds, so that she can be fitted for braces in the future. My husband felt so much better about the treatment plan after seeing the orthodontist today. He and Michael especially enjoyed the hot drinks in the waiting room.
Our de-cluttering is coming along nicely. We get rid of a lot of unneeded items and we are able to benefit our local community in the process. Everything we donate will be sold at a yard sale in May. The proceeds fund the food basket/toys that our town puts together for needy families at Christmas. I'm hoping to count everything before we donate it, if I can. I've lost count at this point in time and the piles just keep growing.
I've been keeping up on my daily devotion time pretty well, getting my steps in, and we haven't had any fast food/delivery/take out in over 2 weeks.
This was our first "real" week back to school. Last week was a half week and the kids worked solely on their science fair projects. So far...so good. Daniel and Tera are doing great in math this week and we've gotten back to the routine pretty smoothly. Michael has been more of a challenge though...I need to prep activities for him the night before, like I've done before. We have tons of things for him to do, I just don't think clearly at a minute's notice. Cheerios have been a lifesaver the past two days.
We finally got the kids out on their bikes for the first time since Christmas. (That's a long story for another time.) I was wondering if it would ever stop raining around here. They played outside this afternoon for a while. The sun felt so good...until it started setting behind the house.
I got a basic Kindle for Christmas...I really like it!!! I'm going to the library tomorrow, because I still like to read physical books, too. | 2019-04-23T04:28:19Z | null | 357 | 2,375 | null | 0 | []

Radha Krishna Temple: Yugal Kunj invites everyone to a meditation workshop by a world renowned speaker Swami Nikhilanand Ji.
Discourse by Swami Nikhilanand Ji: Roop Dhyan Workshop: Learn to meditate on form of God.
Attracted to the teachings of Hinduism from a young age, Swami Nikhilanand eventually let his deep spiritual longing lead him to India, where he was most fortunate to come under the guidance of Shree Kripaluji Maharaj. Thereafter, living in the ashrams of JKP, he extensively studied Hindi, the philosophy of the prime Sanskrit scriptures (Vedas, Darshan Shastras, Gita, Bhagwatam), and practiced meditation in the tradition of raganuga bhakti. In 2003, he was given sanyas. Now, with the blessings of his Guruji, he offers satsang programs throughout America, engaging audiences with his clear explanations of Hindu philosophy coupled with inspired chanting of Sanskrit mantras and shlokas and charming namsankirtan. His informative and compelling speeches provide practical insight into how to adopt the teachings of Sanatan Dharm into our daily lives, and inspire us to awaken our inner spiritual potential.

Dr. Erik Ugland, associate professor of digital media and performing arts, has always wanted to live abroad. His wish will come true this spring when he travels to the Czech Republic as a Fulbright Scholar. Ugland, along with his wife and two children, will live in Brno, Czech Republic, and will teach courses on media law and the political economy of global media at Masaryk University, the second largest university in the country. Ugland has spent the last decade studying media law in the United States, and plans to expand that research to international media law issues and newsgathering practices, such as the extent to which reporters can conceal the identity of their sources and the implications of using new technology to gather information. “Europe is a particularly interesting place to explore these issues because there are so many countries within a small geographic region and they each have to balance multiple sources of law: their own national laws and constitutional protections, as well as the international agreements they are party to,” Ugland says. He is looking forward to studying media law in a country that has a relatively young democracy and is still developing a body of constitutional law within a rapidly changing journalistic culture. Ugland’s goal is to put together a book exploring newsgathering issues in different parts of Europe. “This is an opportunity to gather some different perspectives and look at how other countries are conceptualizing the very same newsgathering issues we’re dealing with in the United States,” Ugland says. Dr. Stephen Goldzwig, professor of communication, has replaced Ugland as associate dean for graduate studies and research in the J. William and Mary Diederich College of Communication.
The School of Dentistry — Wisconsin’s only dental school — welcomed its expanded class in August, growing from 80 students to 100 students. Making that possible was the school’s 40,000-square-foot building addition that includes 24 additional operatories in the on-campus patient care clinic; 5,000 square feet of lab space for clinical and translational research; 104 simulation stations in the pre-clinical laboratory; a faculty practice clinic to help with the recruitment and retention of dental faculty; and high-tech classrooms with needed technology to host continuing education classes for dental professionals in Wisconsin. “Increasing our class size and the capacity of our building will give us the opportunity to increase the amount of care we can provide for Wisconsin’s children and families,” says Dean William K. Lobb. Last year, the School of Dentistry treated 30,000 patients — many on Medicaid or uninsured — during 101,442 visits at seven clinics throughout the state.

ABSTRACTThe study of this report was to analyse phosphate in a solution. The main objective was to determine the concentration of phosphate in an unknown solution. The level of phosphate in the sample solution was evaluated by molybdenum phosphorus blue method. A spectrophotometer was used with which the absorbance of the solutions provided were read at a particular wavelength of 880 nm where maximum absorption of light occurs during the phosphate test. A graph of absorbance against concentration of the solution is plotted. Using Beer’s Law: (A= lc) and line of best fit: (y=0.3726x) , the concentration of phosphate in five different unknown solutions has been found knowing their absorbance at 880 nm wavelength. The concentration of phosphate in the unknown solutions (A, B, C, D, E) was displayed and it should be noted that A, B and E had high concentration of phosphate of 5.77, 2.66 and 2.02 mg/L respectively compared to C (0.757 mg/L) and D (0.773 mg/L). If these high amounts of phosphate were found in water surfaces, this would be a threat to aquatic life and the environment in general. This is why it is important to perform this experiment to analyse the quantity of phosphate in water so that appropriate measures can be taken.
1. INTRODUCTIONQuantitative analysis demonstrates what amount of one or more substances are present in a sample. (Bhutia T.K., 2016). One type of quantitative analysis in chemistry is the determination of phosphate in a sample solution. The most stable form of phosphate in water is orthophosphate which is also mentioned as reactive phosphorus. (Murphy S., 2007). The method used to ascertain the amount of phosphate ions (PO43-) in the given sample solution was the PhosVer 3 (Ascorbic Acid) Method 8048. In another term, it is also called the spectrophotometric molybdenum blue method.
3. LITERATURE REVIEW3.1 Importance of phosphorusPhosphorus is an important factor in the growth of plants on land as well as in water. In enough amount of phosphorus, plants can develop immunity against diseases hence grow well. This can be shown by hydroponic gardening where the amount of phosphorus can be controlled resulting in more healthy plants. (Tajer A., 2016). In nature phosphorus is found in the form of phosphate ions (PO43-).
3.3 Sources and threat of phosphates in waterIn nature phosphates reach water surfaces from minerals and rocks during erosion. A large amount of phosphate comes from human activities such household and industrial sewage, fertilisation and detergents. (Green J., 2017).
3.5 How to determine concentration of phosphate in waterThere are many different tests to analyse the amount of phosphate in water namely: orthophosphate test, acid hydrolysable phosphate test and the total phosphorous test. Among the types of phosphates listed above only orthophosphate can be immediately analysed. (Dabkowski B. and White M., 2016). In this experiment the orthophosphate test involving the ascorbic acid and spectrophotometric molybdenum blue method was used.
3.6 What is spectrophotometry?Spectrophotometry is a process where the concentration of a substance in an unknown sample can be found by measuring the absorbance of light of that substance in the solution. (Douglas R., 2007). The device used for this experiment was the Hach DR 2500 spectrophotometer having a wavelength range of 365 to 880 nm.
3.7 Application of Beer’s LawThe mathematical expression of Beer’s Law A= lc states that the absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of the substance. It demonstrates that the concentration of the substance in a solution is also proportional to the colour intensity of the solution. In simple terms, if during the test a darker blue colour was obtained, it means that the solution contained a large amount of phosphate. (Douglas R., 2007).
4. METHODOLOGYIn this experiment 50mg/L of phosphate standard solution was prepared. Five separate dilutions of the given solution were made thereby obtaining five different concentration of phosphate. The powder reagent provided was mixed with each of the diluted solutions separately. The absorbance of light of each mixed solutions was noted and a graph of absorbance against concentration of phosphate was plotted. From the graph the concentration of phosphate in an unknown solution was determined using the Beer’s Law equation.
4.3 ProcedureProgram 490 P React. PP was started and a wavelength of 880 nm was selected.
A PhosVer 3 phosphate reagent powder pillow was cut using scissors and all its contents were added to the prepared sample solution vial.
4.4 Determination of phosphate in the unknown solution10 ml of the unknown solution was transferred into a 10 ml vial.
Figure SEQ Figure * ARABIC 5: Graph of Absorbance against Concentration of phosphate6. CALCULATIONS6.1 Using Beer’s Law equationFrom the graph the equation of the line of best fit was found to be y=0.3726x. Note that the line was made to pass through the origin as when the concentration of phosphate was 0 mg/L, the spectrophotometer showed zero absorbance. This was due to the blank sample which was used to zero the spectrophotometer.
The concentration of phosphate in each of the five unknown solution was found using Beer’s Law equation: A= cl where in the form of y=mx+c , the gradient of the line is defined by l which was equal to 0.3726.
This equation can be rewritten in the form c=A0.3726 where c is the concentration of phosphate in the unknown solution and A is the absorbance.
Table SEQ Table * ARABIC 4: Concentration of phosphate in the unknown solution6.2 Error analysisErrors were introduced throughout the whole experiment making the results less accurate. This was shown by the graph where the value of R2 was not close to the expected value of 1. Human errors could be that the vials were not properly cleaned with tissue paper before placing them in the spectrophotometer. When the PhosVer 3 powder pillow reagent was added to the vial, not all of its content was mixed with the solution. Instrumental errors such as in the spectrophotometer where the prism or the slits (see Figure 1) could have been displaced a little leading to inaccurate absorbance values. Errors in the pipettes used to measure 10 ml of each solution (sample, blank and unknown) were made.
7.2 Plotting the graphThe calibration curve was drawn with a straight line so that Beer’s Law equation (A= lc) could be applied. This formula was valid only if the absorbance did not exceed the value of 1. Over that value the relationship between concentration and absorbance deviate considerably from Beer’s Law.
7.3 Values obtained in the experimentFrom Figure 5, the value of R2 obtained (R2 = 0.7442) deviated largely from the expected value of 1. This was due to interfering substances which lead to inaccurate absorbance values.
8. CONCLUSIONThe spectrophotometric blue method was very effective to find the concentration of phosphate in an unknown solution. The intensity of the blue colour showed visually which of the solutions contains the least phosphate content and which contains the greatest phosphate content. Amount of orthophosphate in the unknown solution was determined using a calibration curve of absorbance against known concentration of orthophosphate and using the application of Beer’s Law (A=lc). The experiment could be repeated on a large scale such as testing for the presence of phosphate in wastewater. This would be useful in the future to know at what rate phosphorus increases in water. | 2019-04-26T16:57:23Z | null | 633.7 | 7,515 | null | 0.849102 | [

Four months ago I was at a trampoline park and I thought I could do a backflip. Turns out I can’t do a backflip – I broke my back. The paramedics said I sounded like I was in labour, it was quite a shock. So my routine has changed quite a lot recently. I’ve been back to work for about a month and a half, I used to go to the gym before work but recently I’ve been more relaxed and I’m taking things a bit slower. While I was off I tried as much as possible to relax – I read some books that I wouldn’t usually have time to read, watched Netflix and did some gaming.
I’m quite an organised person, but in terms of the environment we work in, it’s very fast paced and there are a lot of people in my team to look after. Music helps me to focus; when I’m spending time at my desk I’ll put my headphones in and blast some songs. Depending on what mood I’m in, it’ll really help me to focus. It alternates from 90s dance to Logic the rapper, who seems to really help me focus at the moment. It’s a very mixed range, but anything with a good beat helps.
Life has been quite chilled recently. I try to get home to the North East as much as possible. I tend to come back at least once (but mostly twice) a month. My family are from Washington, and I have a one-year-old nephew who I want to see as often as possible, so that’s what I do mostly on the weekend. Before breaking my back I was going to a lot of gigs and music festivals when I came back. We also go for dinner when I’m up north; the last time I was up we went to Serendipity in Sunderland, which is a gorgeous little tearoom.
I was training to be a teacher at Northumbria University and my hobby was to create social media pages for no other reason than that I thought it was fun and I enjoyed connecting with people. When you tweet something and 10,000 people retweet it, or you post something and 20,000 people like it, you get a total buzz. It’s the same feeling I imagine a comedian would get up on a stage if thousands of people are laughing at your joke – you want to do more of it. So I had started several of these pages across social media, one of them based around Harry Potter, one of them was based around funny memories from primary school, and they started to grow to around 200,000 followers, which was insane. I didn’t really think anything of it at the time and then I got a direct message from (my now business partner) Dom McGregor saying we love your pages. We met up in Manchester and we weren’t exactly sure what we were going to do, but we just decided we would grow more of these pages and see what we could do with them.
One of our first campaigns was in April 2014, for an app called Tippy Tap. The app needed attention and so we blew it up by posting about it across social media. We told people ‘don’t download Tippy Tap – you’ll fail your degree’ and ‘don’t download Tippy Tap – you’ll ruin your life’, then 2 million people downloaded it. So that was when we realised we have something here that we can go to market with. I finished university and got my qualified teacher status, but throughout my final year was doing all this social media stuff. When I finished I told my mam and dad, ‘I’m not going to go into teaching, I’m going to try this social media venture with these two guys instead.’ Luckily for me, it worked out.
As things developed with Social Chain, people wanted more than just our media, they wanted our insight and knowledge and that’s how our sister marketing agency, Media Chain, was also developed.
We got an email from someone at Vogue saying we’re going to be including Hannah in this list, but at the time I didn’t really think much of it. I didn’t really know what it meant or to what extent it was going to be. But mostly, I had no idea who else would be included on the list – so when I got a copy of the actual magazine and JK Rowling was sitting two spots above me, I was totally shocked. Then it actually sank in and I thought, this is actually really big. Harry Potter is a massive part of my life and I don’t know if I would have even got into social media if I hadn’t had that to talk about, so it was crazy to be put on a list with JK Rowling who basically influenced my career.
It’s been amazing since then, all of my family are so proud and my Dad’s been buying all of the papers that have been coming out and he’s telling all his mates. Everyone I went to school with and people I haven’t spoken to in a long time have been messaging me saying how phenomenal this is, which is honestly lovely. It’s just crazy. 2018 has been such a strange year for me – it’s been a very difficult year and my main goal right now is to get back to full strength and get back to being able to do everything I want to do, but also to take Media Chain and Social Chain to the next level. This is my life and this is what I chose above the career I had wanted from the age of five. We’re just at the start of what we could be, but we really see Social Chain being one of the biggest marketing agencies in the world and we see Media Chain being one of the largest media publishers in the world. Whether that’s in terms of what we create and the stories that we tell or the people we have an impact on.
My advice for other people thinking about taking a risk? Just do it. Absolutely go for it. You’ll look back and think, ‘what if?’ and I don’t think anyone should have to have any ‘what ifs’. When I told my mam and dad that I was going to Manchester to meet two strange boys off the internet, I didn’t get a good answer back, but it was something that I believed in and still believe in today. You only get one life! | 2019-04-25T12:45:15Z | null | 307.7 | 5,620 | null | 0 | []

Ezek. 20:1 And it was in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the month's tenth day, men from the elders of Israel came to seek the Lord, and sat before me.
Ezekiel started describing his experiences in this book in the fifth year, the fourth month, and the fifth day. So it is now two years, one month, and five days since then. The month is Av, and the year is probably 590 BCE, four years -- possibly to the day -- before the fall of Jerusalem. Now since Ezekiel is in reality in Babylon, this must be another vision.
What does v. 20:25 mean? The Lord gives bad statutes and ordinances that do not sustain life? What statutes and ordinances are those? At first this seemed to be a total mystery, and I was perplexed by it. I had translated these two verses as the entire bible translating community has. I had translated the verbs for give and pronounce in the English past tense, gave and pronounced, as everyone else had. After considering this for some time, I was inspired to make an adjustment in the English translation that put the verbs in the present tense (an ongoing action in the Hebrew). And the mystery seemed solved for me.
Sages have tried to explain this verse in a way that retains God’s divine image for Jews, but they fail to convince me. The great Jewish commentator Rashi thought the verse meant that because of the people’s profane practices, God allowed the evil inclinations of their hearts to dictate to them. Others thought it meant that God dispersed them among their conquerers, who imposed upon them rigorous statutes. Neither one of these explanations deals directly with the words of the verse. It says “I even give [or gave].” That doesn’t sound to me like God allowed them to be given. The Hebrew would have been very different from what it is here.
But I now had an explanation of my own. Heretical, it is, but for what it’s worth, I believe the verses are a prophesy, not a description of the past. I believe the bad statutes and ordinances pertain to the later halachic alterations and additions to the Torah commandments that the Lord and Moses had prohibited (Deut. 4:2 and Deut. 13:1). This has certainly got to be a biggie. For this I could have been stoned in another age.
The name Bamah means high place.
The quote is not what they would be saying, but what they are thinking.
Face to face? Like he did with Moses? What a glorious time that could be!
Pass under the rod? This phrase is reminiscent of Levi. 27:32, the only other place in the bible where it is found, where every tenth animal is set aside for the Lord. Does this mean that one of ten will be found righteous enough to come into the bond of covenant? That’s a pretty small remnant.
Many bibles, in particular those from Christian sources, include the first five verses of Chapter 21 here as part of this chapter.
Aside from this, notice that the Lord says we will be (and are) saved for His name’s sake, not for our righteousness. Thus, as I’ve said elsewhere, we Jews are saved by grace. A critical distinction between Jews and Christians. | 2019-04-20T09:24:33Z | null | 354.6 | 3,055 | null | 0 | []

This moment is just one of the many highlights from an EMM-Tech course I tutored on 20th October ’18. Moments such as these are why I love teaching EMM-Tech courses to ‘normal’ people. By ‘normal’ I mean non-therapists. As Emmett Therapists we can change peoples lives. As Emm-Tech tutors we can empower people and their families to maintain those changes, and sometimes even make them.
How do we do it? We observe. We demonstrate the Emmett Technique. We encourage. We share our experiences. We answer questions. We supervise and guide practice of the releases, and we have fun doing it.
What to expect in an Emm-Tech course.
After housekeeping and introductions, we briefly discuss Emmett Technique and its history. This is followed by work around the principles of Emmett Technique, the terminology, some body landmarks (hips, thigh bone etc) and the methods for finding the points of interest from these landmarks. These are all in your hands.
Each release is demonstrated 3 times or so on one or two of the participants so that everyone can observe how the release is performed. Colour photographs with easy to follow step by step instructions for each release are included in the Training Guide provided for the course.
After the demonstrations, participants team up in teams of 2 (3 in the case of odd number) and practice the release on each other. At times the tutor will suggest certain people should work together to optimise results during the day, and especially what they take away from the course. In Jay’s case her partner was press-ganged in to really getting a very strong handle on the release for followup after the course in case the issue returned. Common sense really.
Practice is the most important part of the EMM-Tech day, as it helps cement the principles discussed earlier, and offers the participants experience in finding points for the release, offering it, and obtaining immediate feedback from those they treat. All this is done under the watchful eye ( as well as ears, nose and 6th sense 🙂 of the tutor.
Following each release practice, there is a time for group feedback and discussion that helps cements participants learning and answer any questions that might arise from it.
The demonstration, practise and feedback takes well over 6 hours of the 8 hour day and during that time you’ll learn 10-12 releases depending on the way you count them. Lunch and breaks account for another hour or so, so you can see there is a heavy emphasis on the practical element of the course.
The releases taught and practised cover the body from head to toe as outlined on the Emmett HQ website.
At the conclusion fo the day, we have a little certificate ceremony and a group photo for those who wish to participate in it (and when I remember to take it). That’s why we have the July 10 crew photo in the article.
My preference is for 4-8 people to attend courses I facilitate. At least two people are required to attend the course for practice purposes but such low numbers are not always economically viable due to venue costs. In theory there is no restriction on the maximum number of people who can attend as long as the venue will cater for them. Additional tutors are required for in excess of 12 attendees.
The EMM-Tech course is designed to be accessible to the general public for the benefit of those they care for. Physical therapists, yoga teachers, and trainers can get a taste for Emmett Technique and adding some effective releases to their repertoires.
In 2018 the cost is $250 per person for this day long course. Community and family groups can attract a discount – please call to discuss. | 2019-04-25T20:45:19Z | null | 549.8 | 3,628 | null | 0 | []

Dangerous Beauty Slot | A heroine slots game by High 5.
Dangerous beauty is a video slots game designed and developed by High 5. The game features five reels and forty pay lines for players to play on, and offers them a fantasy theme with sword-wielding maidens depicted with the aid of 3D graphics, animation effects, and high quality sound effects. Feature-wise, the Dangerous Beauty slot features wild symbols, scatter symbols, free spins, and various stacked symbols.
The Dangerous Beauty slot game features a fantasy theme centred on a young girl who is an experienced sword fighter. As her village is under attack, she calls to the other heroines if they will fight with her. The slot game draws much from Asian culture, and most of the maidens depicted are of Asian heritage.
Some of the symbols on the reels include the dangerous but beautiful maidens, the Dangerous Beauty logo, black panthers, and tigers. The standard high value poker playing cards are also depicted, including the ten, jack, queen, king, and the aces.
The colours of the game are bright and vibrant, and include various greens, purples, and blues.
The wild symbol in the Dangerous Beauty slot game is the Dangerous Beauty logo. The logo wild symbol can substitute any of the other symbols, except for the Green Dragon symbol, which acts as the game’s scatter symbol. The wild symbol, in substituting other symbols, can help players complete winning pay lines and make up the best possible winning combinations.
The Dangerous Beauty logo wild symbol is also the highest paying symbol of the game. If players land five of these Dangerous Beauty logo symbols on an active pay line, they will be rewarded with the game’s top fixed jackpot of one thousand coins.
The Green Dragon scatter symbol can only appear on the second, third, and fourth reels of the Dangerous Beauty slot game. In order to trigger the free spins bonus round, the Green Dragon scatter symbol will need to appear on all three reels at the same time. Once the free spins bonus round has been triggered, players will be taken to a different reel set, where they will play out seven free spins. Free spins are played out at the same bet level as on the spin that first triggered the free spins round. Free spins cannot be re-triggered, and the round will come to an end as soon as the seven free spins have been completed and played out. Any wins will then be added to the total wins.
The Dangerous Beauty slot game also features a Super Stacks feature, where various symbols will appear stacked, thereby helping players gain more winning opportunities.
In order to begin playing the Dangerous Beauty slot game, players need to select their coin denomination, the number of pay lines they wish to play on, which may be any number between one and forty, and the number of coins they wish to bet per pay line. Coin values range from 0.01 to 0.40. | 2019-04-26T06:43:45Z | null | 437.6 | 2,887 | null | 0 | []

At Superior Septic Services, LLC, we can help with your septic pumping in Lake Stevens. We know that septic pumping jobs come in all sizes, so we are prepared for all kinds. We even have a small truck to fit smaller sized driveways.
Keeping your septic system healthy contributes to the well-being of your neighborhood. Septic systems that are in need of pumping or other forms of maintenance can create a lot of health hazards. The first noticeable sign of trouble might be a marshy place in your backyard. Or it might be an increase in your mosquito population. It could even be a persistent odor where nothing is visible to cause it. When too many solids are built up in your septic tank, it can cause it to overflow. This can create a situation where sewage can spill over into nearby wells or waterways. The bacteria in untreated sewage can cause a broad array of health problems for your family and for your neighbors.
Fortunately, this scenario is easily corrected by getting your septic tank pumped as soon as the first signs of trouble appear. So if you have noticed an unusual odor in an area where there should not be any, if your lawn has developed a marshy spot, or if all the drains in your home are running more slowly than usual, then you might need to get your septic tank pumped. An especially annoying indicator that you have a problem can be an overflowing toilet that simply cannot be persuaded to flush.
At Superior Septic Services, LLC, we have the trained personnel and the equipment to take care of your septic pumping in Lake Stevens no matter what size the job. Please give us a call at (425)905-2485 to discuss your septic tank maintenance needs. | 2019-04-24T11:52:04Z | null | 433.7 | 1,674 | null | 0 | []

Every weekend, one of my routines is to check the different sentiment indicators that I like the best.
I always check the CBOE Equity Put/Call Ratio, the Rydex Nova/Ursa Ratio and the Investors Intelligence report. Sometimes I will look at more than these three, but these three are a must for me.
Two weeks ago, I mentioned the CBOE Equity Put/Call ratio had been falling, which means that option investors were becoming more optimistic. The 21-day moving average on the ratio was at 61.5 back then and not much has changed since then. It is still hovering right in the 0.60 range.
As I mentioned two weeks ago, too much optimism is a caution sign for a contrarian. Thus, the low put/call ratio is a caution signal.
Turning to the Rydex Nova/Ursa ratio, a low reading on this indicator means that more money is flowing into the bearish Ursa fund and suggests that investors are pessimistic.
At the very least, a falling ratio means that investors are being cautious.
Last week, the Nova/Ursa ratio dropped sharply from a reading of 0.347 to a reading of 0.292. The last time this ratio was this low was in mid-October, just before the market rallied sharply.
The Investors Intelligence report has been extremely stable lately with the bullish percentage holding within 1 percent of 50 percent for the last six weeks while the bearish percentage has held within a point and half of 30 percent for the same period.
What this tells us is that investors are somewhat divided right now.
Option traders are optimistic, Rydex investors are cautious and newsletter publishers are standing pat.
Sentiment is most useful when there is a consensus and right now, there is anything but a consensus. | 2019-04-25T18:41:09Z | null | 687 | 1,687 | null | 0 | []

The T-Square between Mercury in Leo, retrograde Mars in Aquarius and retrograde Jupiter in Scorpio may lead to misunderstandings today. You say one thing and do the other. With this aspect you speak your mind and expresses dissatisfaction.
The extroverted Moon in Aries square Saturn in Capricorn kick it up a notch.Things seem worse than they are leading to alterations that lead nowhere. Patience is hard to find, so more chance of accidents in traffic. If you’ve got something to say, say it. The Sun gives Jupiter a hand and tells us that there more to life.
Stay close to yourself and don’t get all carried away. Use this positive energy to allow change in yourself, to transform or to let go. | 2019-04-20T23:03:31Z | null | 415.5 | 698 | null | 0 | []

The audacious and elegiac second instalment in her 'living autobiography' on writing and womanhood, from the twice-Man Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Hot Milk and Swimming Home. Following the acclaimed Things I Don't Want to Know, Deborah Levy returns to the subject of her life in letters. The Cost of Living reveals a writer in radical flux, considering what it means to live with value and meaning and pleasure. This perfectly crafted snapshot of a woman in the process of transformation is as distinctive, wide-ranging and original as Levy's acclaimed novels, an essential read for every Deborah Levy fan.
It’s easy to be swept up in a story, but what happens when we step outside of the stories people tell us about ourselves? The Cost of Living beautifully describes Deborah Levy stepping from an old story into a new one. A wonderful and kind meditation on change and the best book I've read all year, in parts eye-wateringly moving and others, snort-inducingly funny. In a world that is uncertain and vulnerable, there is wisdom, and Her name is Deborah Levy. | 2019-04-22T04:56:49Z | null | 278.8 | 1,071 | null | 0.573296 | [

Aetina announced a Linux-driven, 87 x 70mm “ACE-N310” carrier board for Nvidia’s Jetson TX1/TX2/TX2i modules with up to 12x MIPI-CSI-2 lanes and 6x optional cameras, as well HDMI, USB 3.0, and GbE ports and -40 to 85°C support.
Aetina has launched its first carrier board for Nvidia’s Jetson TX1 and TX2 modules that supports up to 6x cameras and offers -40 to 85°C support. The ACE-N310 enables “360° surrounded view application in vehicles, drones, robots, surveillance and automation and intelligent systems at the edge,” says Aetina. With the help of the Jetson modules’ AI-enabled Pascal GPU, the ACE-N310 lets you build multi-visual intelligent systems with advanced on-premises analytics and inference, says the company.
The ACE-N310’s industrial temperature range makes it good match for the rugged new Jetson TX2i version of the TX2, which similarly supports -40 to 85°C and adds vibration resistance. Aetina recently released its own version of the TX2i called the NSO-MD-TX2. The module integrates its iNAVI Linux distribution, which adds customizable security, system recovery, and backup features.
iNAVI is also available with the ACE-N310 and other Aetina Jetson carrier boards, which similarly support the TX1, TX2, and TX2i. The 87 x 70mm board is most closely comparable to the ACE-N510 carrier, which has an 87 x 50mm footprint that matches that of the TX2 and TX2i modules themselves.
The ACE-N310 can be configured with up to 12x lanes of MIPI-CSI connectors through CSI-II or FPD-LINK III extension modules. This enables the connection of 6x 2-lane, 2-megapixel cameras with [email protected] resolution or 3x 4-lane 4K cameras.
Aetina offers a variety of Sony IMX based, HD resolution MIPI-CSI camera modules to choose from, as well as an optional, FPC-connected ACE-CAM6C camera board with 6x CSI-2 cameras. There are also “certified” mini-PCIe based I/O modules including dual isolated GbE and PoE add-ons and a 4x USB 3.0 option, all with 0 to 70°C and -40 to 85°C support (see chart below).
Standard ACE-N310 features include HDMI, GbE, micro-USB 2.0, and 2x USB 3.0 host ports. Onboard interfaces include RS-232, I2C, and 5x GPIO, as well as 2x CAN Bus connections that work only with the Jetson TX2 and TX2i.
A mini-PCIe slot supports PCIe and mSATA, and there’s a 9-19V DC input. Other options include fan and heatsink add-ons, cable kits, and a 100-240V, 60W 12V/5A adapter.
Aetina sells the ACE-N310 with optional Jetson modules. Users who don’t already have a TX1 will likely go with the TX2 or TX2i, which feature 2x high-end “Denver 2” cores and 4x Cortex-A57 cores. The star of the show is a 256-core Pascal GPU with CUDA libraries for running AI and machine learning algorithms. The TX2 and TX2i also supply 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 32GB of eMMC 5.1, and 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth.
The ACE-N310 appears to be available now at an undisclosed price. More information may be found in Aetina’s ACE-N310 announcement and product pages. | 2019-04-18T10:42:14Z | null | 1,591.1 | 2,962 | null | 0.47029 | [

The new coalition government continued to outline its plans for the brand new era of change sweeping the country. Having revolutionised democracy by planning to ignore it, the next step is mathematics where centuries of tradition and fact based reasoning will be swept away to appease a power obsessed minority, who can’t count.
Mr Clegg’s Liberal Democrats have confirmed that the value of pi , traditionally pegged to the ratio of a circle’s circumference and its diameter, will now be standardised on the easier to use value of 3.
Mr Clegg said that the new value of pi at 3 would make calculations easier and more transparent and leading to an efficiency saving as Britain’s circles would require over 4% less raw materials.
Once a value of three had been accepted for pi the Liberal Democrat ruling elite members believe it would become straightforward for other mathematical principles to be re-evaluated for the good of voter.
Mr Clegg has dismissed challenges over his plans for electoral reform by pointing out that all of the journalists had studied humanities and they should ask a friend who could do sums.
The Prime Minister was said to be fully supportive of his deputy’s plans on both voting and numerical reform.
The Prime Minister, who has been leader of the reactionary Conservative opposition party for half a decade is spearheading the New Politics in the New Era for Change.
The Liberal Democrats have now fulfilled their ideal of a numerically representative democracy in Britain with their party calling the shots, despite having less than 8% of the seats. However it has become apparent that the 5 days taken over paying for Nick Clegg’s services have left insufficient time to draft the Queen’s Speech to parliament, during which Her Majesty will outline the precise manner her new government will be sending the country back to the dark ages. | 2019-04-21T10:47:09Z | null | 352.3 | 1,868 | null | 0 | []

SPRING BREAK! This was something I was looking forward to, not so much because I would have a few days off to head to a crowded beach, but rather because my parents were coming to visit us in Texas! It had been five months since our last visit with them in Ohio so we were more than due for some time together. In the two years we've been on the road, I have fond memories of my time with my parents in Charleston, Bar Harbor, and now both Houston and Port Lavaca. We worked an extra day the week prior to their arrival and the other couple that works with us at the campground offered to work the afternoon shift for us on Sunday. Thanks Frances & Mike! That gave us a head start to meet my parents who had flown into Houston on Saturday.
It was so good to get to hug my mom and dad. Phone conversations, text messages, and emails will never come close to replicating a good ol’ hug! We arrived at the hotel just in time for their free dinner & drinks menu. We sat around chatting about our experience so far here in Texas. Before long, it was bedtime and time to make plans for the next few days in Houston. Our only Houston area experiences thus far had been the Houston RV Show and a trip to and from the Houston airport. So, we were all in the same boat and ready to play the role of tourist in the area.
Monday morning we met in the same place we left each other, the lobby of the hotel for breakfast. Our plan was to head to Galveston which both my parents and Russ and I had many people tell us we must visit. Not knowing exactly what to see and do in only one day, we stopped by the Galveston Island Visitor’s Center. The ladies working gave us some recommendations for our short visit and ideas for things to do on a return trip in the future. Her first recommendation was to walk around The Strand, Galveston's historic downtown district. It was several blocks to the main downtown area which offered a selection of shops, restaurants, galleries, and museums within a radius for our self-guided tour. It is in this area that we enjoyed beautiful historic buildings, many of which survived the 1900 Storm which is still regarded as the worst natural disaster in U.S. History. We walked through a spice & tea shop, a few boutiques, a confectionary, and a building labeled the Peanut Butter Warehouse. What a cruel joke that was to find out there was no peanut butter to be found in there. Oh the horror! Instead we found clothing, antiques, home furnishings, and art. The Peanut Butter Warehouse was built in 1895 and was used at one time to store candy and peanut butter. So I don’t often dream of going back in time, but if I did have to I would chose 1895 in Galveston. Even at that time, it was still operating as a marketplace with an assortment of gifts, but they did sell freshly ground peanut butter. If anyone is looking for a small business idea, the Peanut Butter Warehouse in Galveston NEEDS peanut butter.
We walked out by the water where the Port of Galveston resides which connects the Galveston Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. It was standing there we realized how crazy this area would be when cruise ships started rolling in along with visitors seeking some beach therapy in the summer. As we saw the shrimp boats rolling by and the pelicans feeding, we decided it was lunch time for us too. We enjoyed lunch at the Greek restaurant, Olympia, with views of the harbor. After lunch, we headed back to the car taking a slightly different route to enjoy more of what the downtown district had to offer.
From there, we decided to head toward the beachfront area of the island. We followed our senses including the winds, the sound of the surf, and the salty smell of the water and maybe a little bit of GPS too! We landed in the center of Galveston’s beachfront area which is called Seawall Urban Park which stretches more than 10 miles offering plenty of beach access. The island’s famous Seawall Boulevard is where you will find the nation's longest continuous sidewalk, which will definitely be traveled by foot or bike during a future visit. In the hot summer months, this area provides a unique mix of beach access and beachfront restaurants, attractions, and entertainment. While the weather is mild, it certainly wasn’t beach weather so we enjoyed the seawall from the comfort of our vehicle. Russ provided the taxi service while my parents and I enjoyed the Gulf views.
We continued along the Seawall to Stella Mare RV Resort which was one of the places we applied to work for the winter season. When we pulled into the campground, we were greeted by the manager of the park. What a nice guy! We chatted with him before exchanging business cards. The campground was extremely well-kept with all sites being concrete. It is right across the road from the beach!
Having finished our walking tour in the historic district and getting our waterfront / beach experience in the afternoon, we had one more thing we wanted to enjoy before heading back toward Houston. The lady from the visitor’s center also gave us information on the Tree Sculpture Tour. The Galveston Tree Sculpture Tour is a self-guided tour that can be enjoyed by walking, biking, or driving. Again my parents & I chose to have our Taxi Driver Russ be the guide. To give you a little history of the tour, Hurricane Ike covered most of Galveston Island in a tidal surge in September 2008. This left many of the island's majestic oaks uprooted. While many saw the trees as destroyed, a group of homeowners decided to breath life into the remaining stumps by creating whimsical sculptures. All of the sculptures are on private property and were paid for by the private residents. The tour route took (with the handy dandy map from the visitor’s center) us past 21 tree sculptures and past hundreds of beautifully historic homes. Each sculpture unique and different, many telling a personal story of the homeowner. While it took less than a hour, this tour was like a BOGO free tour. It was two-fold in the main part being the cool tree sculptures and the other being a tour of some cool homes in Galveston’s East End Historic District neighborhood. While we didn’t come close to seeing or doing all there is to enjoy in Galveston, it gave us a good sampling of some of the highlights of the island.
Tuesday’s plan was Space Center Houston. This was one of the things we had one our “Must Do While in Texas" list. It just so happens my dad is a science-junkie and my mom loves anything educational. What do you want to be when you grow up? “An Astronaut” said little Betsy years ago. Maybe I should have went that route as it appears I am still trying to figure it out. Elon Musk, take me to Mars! We arrived at the Johnson Space Center complex right at opening time. From our parking space, we could see Boeing’s Independence Plaza. This is where the shuttle replica, Independence is mounted on top of the original NASA shuttle carrier aircraft. It was massive and I was getting pretty excited for our day of exploring the Space Center.
We purchased tickets and then walked into the main lobby a bit overwhelmed. I had read on several blogs, that it was recommended to start off with the tram tour first thing in the morning. So we beelined it to the tram tour launch point.
Even though, we headed straight there the wait was already about 45 minutes. You see we weren’t the only ones that had the Space Center on their agenda on this Tuesday at the end of March. There was a large school group and it gave my mom and I flashbacks to being a teacher on an elementary school field trip! I still wonder if heading straight to the tram tour was the best bet because that is what everyone thinks they should do. Maybe exploring the attractions inside in the morning and an afternoon tram tour would have been the better option. There are two tram tours and we opted for the longer of the two which I believe was the blue tour. The red tour (30 minutes) only stops at the Astronaut Training Facility. The 90-minute tour includes a narrated drive through the campus of the Johnson Space Center, a stop at the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility, a visit to the Historic Mission Control, and Rocket Park.
The Space Vehicle Mockup Facility is where astronauts train for current missions and where scientists and engineers are developing next generation space exploration vehicles. There were some super cool-looking things in this big building which is 8 stories tall and 2 football fields in length. It looked a little like a really cool science-themed playground with full-size mockups, including one for the International Space Station.
The Iconic Christopher C. Kraft Mission Control is where NASA led both Gemini and Apollo Missions, including the momentous first lunar landing. All you non-moon landing conspiracy theorist, go ahead and skip to the next post. I’m not going to talk to you right now! It felt like I had walked onto the movie set of Apollo 13. The room was just like I’d imagined and the room hadn’t seen any renovations since. They are trying to keep everything or return everything to the way it was at the time of the launch. To give you perspective, the seats still had ash trays which the guide recommnded not sticking your finger in as they hadn’t been cleaned in years! It was in this room where they cheered as man stepped on the moon in Apollo 11, where they safely brought Apollo 13 back home, and sadly also the place they watched the Challenger explode. This may have been my favorite stop on the tram tour. It gave a sense of realness to all that happened at the Johnson Space Center. As a sidenote, this part of the tour also includes walking up six flights of stairs and you are reminded to not make a peep as space scientists (or whatever they are called) are still hard at work in this building.
The final stop before our tram returned us to Space Center Houston, was Rocket Park. Rocket Park is the home of four rockets that were used in NASA missions during the ‘60s and ‘70s. Standing right beside the upright rockets, their size is overwhelming. However, the rockets outside are quickly dwarfed when walking into the giant climate controlled building that houses the Saturn V Rocket. It's size was astounding and a bit mind-blowing. The rocket is displayed on its side, but would stand at 30 stories tall. The Saturn V rocket is the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful rocket ever flown and is rather accomplished in that it carried many missions, including 27 astronauts into space. I’ve always been easily impressed, but to realize this 6.2 million pound rocket can launch into space will never cease to amaze me. I am always blown away that massive cruise ships can float and a Boeing 777 can fly as well. So maybe that doesn’t say much for my understanding of physics. The different segments or stages of the Saturn V were easily distinguishable and made it a little more clear of how exactly that rocket can achieve the feat of launching into space. I will never again complain about filling up The Big Tow’er with fuel after realizing the Saturn V gobbled up 40,000 pounds of fuel per second with 5 massive jet engines.
When we returned to the Space Center, we fueled up with coffee and a light snack as we had promised ourselves a trip to Torchy’s Tacos. We spent time exploring the other attractions, including a longer stop in the Mission Mars section. We joked with my parents that they would have to plan a longer stay when they came to visit us in Mars next year during Spring Break! We finished our tour of Space Center Houston in Independence Plaza which is what we had seen from our parking spot. We were able to board both the shuttle and the aircraft. This is where the shuttle replica, Independence is mounted on top of the original NASA shuttle carrier aircraft. While real shuttles can be seen elsewhere, this is the only place you can see a spacecraft attached to an aircraft. Definitely an impressive feat of engineering to figure out how to transport from Edwards Air Force Base in California back to Kennedy Space Center in Florida. We spent about six hours at Space Center Houston and definitely didn’t see everything there, but we had a blast. See what I did there! I made a punny funny!
Did you know the famous quote “Houston, We Have a Problem!” is erroneous? The words actually spoken by Apollo 13 astronaut Jack Swigert were “Okay, Houston, we’ve HAD a problem here.” After prompted to repeat, Mission Commander Jim Lovell responded “Uh, Houston, we’ve HAD a problem.” Don’t worry I won’t ruin another famous quotes from Johnson Space Center, but I will tell you the momentous “Houston, the Eagle has landed.” does omit part of Neil Armstrong’s actual quote of “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed!” You learn something everyday that will only help you in a heated game of trivia.
After all the exploring, we had built up a bit of an appetite. Or should I say a hankering for some tacos. With my parents visiting, we felt it was our obligation to introduce them to a local Texas taco chain, Torchy’s Tacos. While the tacos didn’t disappoint, the crowning glory of Tex-Mex in general and Torchy’s in particular is the Green Chile Queso. It is gloriously cheesy and seductively gooey. Against his will, my Dad was kind enough to share the liquid gold & chips even though he would have preferred to down it as soup with a large spoon. We finished off the day with naps, pool time at the hotel, and a lively game of cards. Hearts was the game of choice.
Wednesday started a little later than Tuesday and with bad weather in the forecast. After another hotel breakfast where Russ was able to strategically dodge gluten, we headed toward Port Lavaca. While we wanted to do a little exploring in the Houston area, my parents also wanted to see the place we will call “home” for a year. So in their rental car, they also headed to Port Lavaca. We met back up later in the day to gave them an official unofficial tour of the town, including a cruise through our campground. We finished the evening with dinner at Shellfish in Port Lavaca. It was fish for everyone, tasty fish & chips for three of us and blackened fish for the gluten-intolerant one in our group (poor Russ)!
Thursday meant it was back to work for Russ & I. We had invited my parents to come hang out at the campground. They spent nearly the entire day reading in the adirondack chairs facing the lake. They got to see our normal working routine and we spent our lunch hour over Greek salads poolside. After the work day, we headed to La Antigua for a little more Mexican. Queso was again ordered, but it didn’t stand a chance against Torchy’s high-standard. We returned back to the campground for another few hands of cards, this time it was two games of Euchre. Friday rolled around and my parents stopped by the campground to help us stuff Easter Eggs for the upcoming egg hunt we had planned at the park. They always seem to get roped into helping with tasks like this, but nothing will ever be worse then the time I asked them to help hot glue dried beans to popsicle sticks for a 2nd grade lesson on place value. My parents are the BEST! Before long, it was time for them to head back to Houston as they would be headed out on a flight early Saturday morning.
We are so incredibly blessed they were able to come and visit us again as we traverse across the country. Thank you for the hours you spent planning, the money you spent spoiling us, and the time you spent traveling. You are so generous with all of those things and we couldn’t be more thankful. Where do you request we travel next? Dad I know you would say the Caribbean, we just need you to figure out how to get Charlie there!!

Eames, M, Cosgrove, A and Baker, RJ ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4759-4216 1999, 'Comparing methods of estimating the total body centre of mass in three-dimensions in normal and pathological gait' , Human Movement Science, 18 , pp. 637-646.
It is common clinical practice to estimate the position of the total body centre of mass (CM)as being a ®xed point in the centre of the pelvis (CP). Previous work has shown that there are significant differences between CP and the estimate of the position of CM from the second integral of ground reaction force data (GRF). In this study the CM was determined during an entire gait cycle in 11 able-bodied subjects (6 adults and 5 children) and 5 children with lumbosacral myelomeningocoele using both methods (GRF and CP). The CM was also estimated using a full body multi-segment kinematic model (KM). In agreement with previous work the excursion of CP showed signi®cant differences from that of GRF. CP always had a larger total excursion than GRF. KM however, showed no signi®cant differences from GRF in any of the three orthogonal directions in any group. These results show that the use of a full body kinematic model gives a better representation of the CM than does a ®xed point in the pelvis, especially in pathological gait patterns. | 2019-04-21T09:02:41Z | null | 705.6 | 1,292 | null | 0 | []

View Full Version : I have a doctors apt.
I will tell him that using UGL like i am now is not how i want to continue....THE PROBLEM IS...my blood work wont be accurate, as i am injecting testosterone currently, and if i come off i will be shut down...so i wonder what he will do.
I just cant see him putting me on TRT without seeing blood work, but how will he do that if he knows my bloodwork wont be accurate....?
Depends on how well you know the doc. If it was me I'd stop the test for now and reschedule with the doc when I know I'm low enough for trt. Keep us posted, I'm also self-prescribed. | 2019-04-24T14:34:11Z | null | 835.7 | 719 | null | 0.141864 | [

The Nightseeing Tour of London's streets for the International Day of Light was a truly wonderful exploration into the multi-faceted world of light and shadow, in relation to the city. Just as urban design is becoming more sensitive to people's behaviour and comfort at daytime, it must be equally considered at night. Leni Schwendinger (and team) were great at explaining the impact and atmosphere created by different light sources, as we trailed the streets at night, discussing everything from blinking warning lights to twinkling cafe candles. At the end of the tour, the importance of designing nighttime cities from a holistic perspective that considers all sources of light, as they relate to each other and relate to people's end-of-day activities, was undeniable. I hope more architects/designers/planners get the chance to experience the shades of night through Leni's eyes.
As Perth aims to deliver its five year City of Light Action Plan it was a pleasure to take the trip down to London to join Leni on the NightSeeing walking event. A fantastic way to meet and speak to people from a variety of backgrounds all with a shared interest in Light and its role in benefiting our cities in social inclusion, economic impact and safety. Leni’s energy and passion and humour shines through and her experience in the field make this event entertaining as well as highly informative. Approaches to the design and delivery of lighting involving the community to drive pride and a sense of ownership while not unique as a means in consultation were very interesting as with the tour itself in appreciating all aspects of light and how they work together or in a lot of respects don’t. If you have the opportunity to host this event or go to it in the future I would highly recommend.
We hosted Leni's NightSeeing and a special lecture at reSITE 2017 Prague about the In/visible City. Check www.resite.org where a video of her lecture will be shared during fall. She brought a truly eye-opening experience and attracted not only intrigued visitors, but also many editors, from Czech and international media. Urban lighting overlaps with a lot of city planning and city making aspects, from historical monuments preservation to security and 24-hr city concept. Urban lighting design can make a tangible change quite quickly and this is what makes it very attractive. Thank you Leni for this very valuable cooperation.
Nightseeing is a fun way for people to learn something new about everyday nighttime environments. It is also about developing a new vocabulary for something we are intimately familiar with, yet incapable of expressing. Light and shadow, color, movement and behaviour. Beyong lighting, Nighttime Design unlocks crucial conversations about public space, urban planning, policy, community, and more. Leni's insight draws from years of experience and ranges from artistic intuition to participatory planning to hi-tech smart city applications. I've been on several nighttseeing expeditions and I thoroughly recommend it! | 2019-04-23T02:08:24Z | null | 388.4 | 3,035 | null | 0 | []

Your cancer diagnosis has a profound impact on your entire family. There is new information to learn. There are treatment decisions to make. If you have children, you’re probably also concerned about how much to tell them about your diagnosis and what you are going through.
Set the tone. Use a calm, reassuring voice, even if you become sad. This will help your children see how you are trying to cope and will help them do the same.
Give your children accurate, age-appropriate information about cancer. Don’t be afraid to use the word “cancer.” Tell or show them where the cancer is on your body. Practice your explanation beforehand so you feel more comfortable. Remember that if you don’t talk to your kids about cancer, they may invent their own explanations, which can be even more frightening than the facts.
Reassure your children. Explain to them that no matter how they have been behaving or what they’ve been thinking, they did not do anything to cause the cancer. Let your children know that they cannot “catch” cancer like they can catch a cold.
Let them know they can turn to other members of your support system, too. These people include your spouse or partner, relatives, friends, clergy, teachers, coaches and members of your health care team. Let your children know that they can ask questions of these adults and talk to them about their feelings.
Allow your children to participate in your care. Give them age-appropriate tasks such as bringing you a glass of water or an extra blanket.
Encourage your children to express their feelings. Share with them that they can express any feelings, even those that are uncomfortable. Let them know, too, that it’s okay to say, “I don’t feel like talking right now,” if that is the case.
Reassure your children that they will be cared for. Let them know that even if you can’t always provide the care directly, their needs are important and will be taken care of.
To the extent possible, make communicating with your children a priority. Cancer treatments may leave you with less energy, but try to make every effort to really listen to your children. This will show them how much you love them, and help them to feel comfortable coming to you with their concerns in the future.
As always, show your children a lot of love and affection. Let them know that although things are different now, your love for them has not changed. When helping your children cope with a cancer diagnosis, it’s almost impossible to be prepared for every situation. Sometimes, you may not know what to say. This is normal and okay. Remember that you are the expert on your children. Cancer can be overwhelming and disruptive, but it doesn’t change the fact that you know your children best. Trust your sense of how to best support them during this difficult time.
Children can have many different reactions when they learn that a parent or relative has cancer. They may be afraid or confused, or feel guilty or angry.
Let your children know that feelings are never wrong. Whatever they are feeling is okay and normal. It is also normal to feel one way one day and another way the next.
Tell your children that you, too, have a wide range of feelings.

practicing za-zen, or studying the Tao.
Surfing is the simple act of walking on water.
or at least standing on it.
An awareness that water sports are a natural way of meditating hit me while sitting in a Soho loft in New York City back in the mid-seventies, far, far from the great sunny beaches and breaking waves off the coasts of California, Hawaii and Australia. An advertising executive friend insisted I go with him to a workshop in Soho.
We were both in a dance meditation workshop run by Calvin Holt of Manhattan’s famous Serendipity Restaurant. At the time I was with Morgan Stanley in investment banking, going through a midlife crisit the time, searching. I actually knew nothing about Joseph Campbell, but with a title like “Mythical Meditation,” the workshop sparked my imagination.
At first Campbell’s ideas about meditation seemed all over the map, chaotic, in fact … ranging far and wide throughout history and around the world. Campbell literally saw meditation in everything … from Jungian psychology, Zen Buddhism, Taoism and Christian mysticism, to Hopi shamanism, the Tarot, astrology, and the paranormal.
And yet … by the end of the workshop I saw what Campbell saw. He not only changed the meaning of meditation for me, he literally changed my life. Only later did I hear George Lucas say on a Bill Moyer’s special that Campbell’s Hero With a Thousand Faces was the inspiration for StarWars!
At one point near the end of Campbell’s Mythical Meditation, someone finally asked him how he meditated. Campbell, a competition swimmer in his younger days, told us his way, combining the mundane and the mystical by explaining that he meditated on the tarot cards, while swimming laps in his backyard pool, combining his morning physical exercise with this meditation.
Yes, it makes total sense, swimming and all water sports offer a perfectly natural way to meditate, thanks to the essential need to control the breathing. Compare Campbell’s meditation, the stroke, the breathing and the mind filled with the spirit of the tarot … with all those poor young monks sitting in a cold Zen temple somewhere in Japan, struggling endlessly to focus on their breath in their early morning meditation exercises.
Of all the water sports, however, surfing goes beyond pure meditation. For the million men and women surfers worldwide, surfing is a spiritual path, their way of searching for the meaning of life, of their essence, of nature, of the divine in the mysterious gandeure of the great waves.
Lopez has that rare impish grin of a high-priest, a native kahuna or a Zen master who, if he hasn’t actually ascended into nirvana yet, he sure is having a whole lot of fun along the way. Lopez is a surfer’s surfer, one of the early adventurers who rode the unrideable waves beyond the outer reefs of Maui.
There are over a million surfers in the world today, most live and work in the everyday world, waiting to the right moment to escape into their special watery nirvana. The surfers I know, including a pro football quarterback and a house painter, are like all surfers, very independent people who are quite secretive and protective of their private inner world.
Enter their world for even a brief moment and you sense that surfers have some secret that belongs to them alone, a secret that can only be passed on in private by a Zen-surfing monk who has been there, done that, and then only to dedicated disciples who will guard it and not reveal the secret to just anyone. | 2019-04-21T12:40:30Z | null | 356.9 | 3,485 | null | 0 | []

LIVERPOOL star Mohamed Salah has already surpassed Luis Suarez’s achievements for the club, according to Reds hero John Aldridge.
Salah is shining for Liverpool at present with the Egypt international now regarded as one of the best players in the world.
The former Chelsea star returned to the Premier League from Roma and has hit a stunning 36 goals across all competitions.
Inevitably, that has seen him compared to Barcelona’s Lionel Messi.
Liverpool appear to have finally found a goalscoring hero following Suarez’s sale to Barcelona four years ago.
The Uruguay star was the last player to hit over 30 goals in one season for the Merseyside giants.
Yet Aldridge already thinks Salah is more important for Liverpool than Suarez was during his time at the club.
“You run out of superlatives trying to describe the brilliance of Mohamed Salah,” he told the Liverpool Echo.
“His performance against Watford on Saturday was remarkable.
“It was one of those games where I didn't actually think we played particularly well.
“On most other occasions it probably would have been a routine 2-0 win but Salah just took us to a different level.
“The biggest compliment I can pay him is that he reminds me of Luis Suarez in 2013/14.
“There are also shades of Lionel Messi with his movement and the way he humiliates defenders.
“Suarez produced the best season I've ever seen from a Liverpool striker. He created a lot of goals for himself out of nothing, but I think what Salah has done this season outdoes Suarez.
“For a winger to have 36 goals in the middle of March is just mad. | 2019-04-20T03:57:01Z | null | 337.7 | 1,574 | null | 0 | []

Few alternatives have emerged to ensure that Google navigation data are stored in cache in order to be consulted once we are not connected to the Internet. Although the same Google Earth caches, no one is certain where it is stored, so as to transfer it to another disk or keep it if we install a browser’s new version or formatting the machine.
For now StitchMaps has been an outlet for downloading images, but the alternative of downloading it in a mosaic georeferenced form, had not yet been seen like in this case iin which it can even be downloaded and loaded into ArcGIS with different levels of scale.
These two solutions that I will present are interesting but don’t work with Google Earth but with Google Maps. Although, they are an economical alternative to this intention of retaining data navigation in a controlled way or it can be load from ArcGIS at different level approach. Both are created by the Offline Soft Company.
This is a very powerful browser that allows seeing simultaneously the layers images and maps. But more interesting is that its technology allows that areas that have been navigated are cached in a folder that you can choose.
In this way, information can be consulted again even when it is offline and the cache’s target can be chosen as a path on the server so that all users can view this data without consuming the Internet gateway. Also this folder could be transferred to another machine… great.
The other interesting things, is that places can be stored as tabs, so that it is possible to see several windows without having to be navigating to each zone.
For less than U$35 it seems an interesting investment, the trial version can be downloaded so we can’t buy what we have not tested.
Here you can download the trial version of Map View.
Map Export is a GIS oriented-development, since it allows you to download and export Google Maps’ images in georeferenced tile. It is always possible to choose between Google satellite Images, Street Maps and Terrain.
Map Export can download images in mosaic to a folder that you can choose. You can select the window coordinates to download it manually or with a window on the map. You can also choose the type of layer, and then in the bottom panel it shows the downloading, amount of images and controls to pause or resume the descent.
It is interesting that this downloads’ driver can do that different tasks may run at the same time, you can also configure a dialup, where if the connection is dropped, resumes the download while returns immediately.
The right panel allows you to download 18 different zoom levels, and for each one creates a folder with the mosaic of images.
In this case, I’ve selected 5 levels, with JPG images, as you can see; it also created the JWG file so as when it’s called from a mapping program it come georeferenced.
You can choose omp, jpg, gif, png, and bmp formats. These different levels scale’s feature is done better than with Stitch Maps which only allows downloading one level at once, and although that left down georeference, the fact that it merges into one entity, makes it lose the consistency between different levels of approach as the calibration file which only calibrates the outer edges.
With the trial version it can only be downloaded images until the 11th level, with an approximate height of 80 meters.
You can do this with Google Earth Enterprise but under the Google’s crazy rules, for example, doing this with Map Export is possible, creating an own image server using the data from Google.
By downloading the images and choosing the option “include ESRI world file” it creates a xml file that handles the tile to be loaded from ArcGIS, because if you notice, the file contains the projection of images and folders where images are stored at different scale.
Map Export seems to me an excellent solution for downloading maps from Google Maps, so, well used it’s a worthwhile investment.
Here you can download the Map Export’s trial version.
For more information you can consult OfflineSoft’s web page.

"Ooey Gooey Brownies" is the short name for these bad boys. The long version is "Ooey Gooey Peanut Caramel Chocolate Chip Brownies."
They look a little gross, but they're seriously delicious.
I apologize for the picture quality of my last few posts. Life has been... hectic. To say the least.
Chris requested this combination of flavors, and I adapted my favorite brownie recipe to accomodate his vision :) He's so talented at coming up with recipes and food combinations.
I have an exam in the morning, then I'm jetting off for Spring Break. So I'll put in the full recipe later. For now, I'll just say there are a handful or two of chocolate chips and chopped up peanuts. Then I poured some pre-made caramel sauce on the brownies when they came out of the oven. I'd recommend sticking them in the fridge for a few hours to firm them up. They're gonna be ooey gooey, but fantastic. | 2019-04-22T08:53:47Z | null | 391.5 | 882 | null | 0 | []

Western media often spread myths about the extent of Internet censorship in Belarus. Many have the impression that all or many social media sites have been shut down or blocked by Belarusian KGB. The truth is that unlike television or FM radio, Internet access remains largely unrestricted in Belarus.
Because only a small fraction of Belarusians use Internet to get political information, authorities are rather relaxed about Internet censorship. They usually intervene to temporarily block certain Internet web sites around the dates of scheduled protests. In addition, they effectively use traditional methods against pro-democracy activists such as arrests and pressure on protestors' universities and employers.
Vkontakte is the most popular social network in Belarus which Belarus authorities actively target. The network headquartered in Russia looks very similar to Facebook. Vkontakte is hosting the "Movement for the Future – Revolution Through Social Network" group, where citizen actions are announced, commented and reported on. Instead of blocking the whole network, Belarusian authorities deploy more creative approaches.
For instance, around 22 June a fake page appeared for Belarusian users, informing them that the group page was infected by a virus, and trying to collect information about their accounts from them. On 4 July, the group’s main page was closed for all visitors globally by the administration of Vkontakte, supposedly for violations of the rules by the group. The group’s page was then reopened with 10 times less members than it used to have (was around 200,000 and is now around 20,000). Around 13 July, access to the whole Vkontakte site was blocked inside Belarus for several hours before and during the action of that day.
Security services also visit pro-democracy activists who can be easily identified on social networks. In addition, the authorities increasingly harass bloggers. The most notable criminal cases for defamation were initiated against Andrei Poczobut and Evgeny Lipkovich. Security service agents also conduct "preemptive talks" with pro-democracy activists and detain the most active for short periods of time. Authorities can put pressure on virtually every employer or university in Belarus. The economy is still in state hands in Belarus and most people work on the basis of short-term employment contracts. With rising unemployment the prospect of losing a job is enough to deter many from active protests.
Finally, around the dates of protests opposition and independent web sites are routinely subjected to denial of service attacks. That involves saturating the target web site with an overwhelming number of external requests. The web site then cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be rendered effectively unavailable. Charter97, Nasha Niva and Euroradio web sites are the main targets of attackers.
The Western media often overestimate penetration of Internet and social networks in Belarus. Although the role of Internet in Belarus is steadily increasing, it is far from being the dominant source of information. According to a May survey of the Independent Institute for Sociological and Political Studies, 33% of the adult population in Belarus received information from the Internet and only 2.2% – from social networks. This 33% include hard line supporters of the authorities and those who never read any political news on Internet.
Only around 2% of the Belarusians use Facebook. Twitter is even less popular. According to various estimates, there are less then 50 thousand Twitter users in all regions of Belarus. However, the authorities take no chances and actively use trolling and jamming on the days of street actions. Security services use nicknames very similar to those of pro-democracy activists and independent media to spread false news and negative comments. That makes it very difficult for pro-democracy activists to rely on Twitter.
Because of the small numbers and chaotic character of social networks protests security services can crack down on them with relative ease.
Most analysts agree that only when "ordinary" Belarusians begin to protest the situation may pose a serious threat to authorities. The vast majority of Belarusians relies almost exclusively on television and FM radio to receive information. These media are strictly controlled in Belarus and wide-scale crossborder broadcasts from neighbouring Poland and Lithuania remain possible only in theory.
Last week Russian President Medvedev removed the remaining obstacles for Belarusians who want to work in Russia. Now Belarusian citizens have virtually the same rights as Russia's own nationals. By equalising the rights of Belarusian nationals with its own nationals Russia plans to take away something more valuable than Belarusian plants and factories – its people.
The difference in the level of commitment of the European Union and Russia is striking. Russian government removes all restrictions on movement and employment of Belarusian nationals. European governments fail to agree on simplification of visa procedures for Belarusians. Russia launches anti-Lukashenka PR campaigns in Belarus using its TV channels to convey the benefits of integration with Russia. Europe does little to promote its values considering them self-evident. Russia provided billions in subsidies to the Belarusian economy while Europe usually comes up with a new set of conditions, which cost nothing.
It is time to admit that the Europe's approach to Belarus failed and adopt a new strategy.
Some hope for a quick fix in the form of revolution in Belarus and that everything else will follow. This approach is misleading. It is impossible to predict a revolution and many raise doubts that it will happen any time soon. Although the recent events in the Arab world showed that even very solidly looking regimes could collapse within weeks, the wait and see approach should not be the main strategy. Moreover, those who believe in a quick political change have no plan to deal with possible unrest and chaos in the country.
Even assuming a peaceful change of regime, Belarus will face an enormous challenge to become a liberal democracy based on a market economy. It will take decades to change people's mentality after decades of propaganda. This is why rather than focusing solely on weakening the regime, the international community should do more to strengthen Belarusians' links with Europe. Regardless of how the events unfold, Belarus transition is a marathon, not sprint.
Whether the country will see political changes soon or late, Europe should be more involved by opening its borders and integrating Belarusian scholars, students, and common people into its orbit. If political changes happen soon – that would smoothen the transition. If it takes longer – more involvement will make the democratic model more attractive and ease the transition.
Conferences, political dialogue and formulating new conditions cost nothing. Investments, particularly into civil society, education and media, and deploying people on the ground do cost money. Europe's investment in Belarusian civil society is negligible compared to money it invests in the Middle East or Asia.
Take another example. Belarusians have to pay several times more than "home" students if they want to study in the European Union. That makes Russian universities where they can study for free their natural choice. The EU should open its universities for Belarusian students giving them the status of "home" students. This will not hurt universities, but would be a boost to bringing up the new generation of Belarusians. Some people will stay abroad after their studies, but many will return to Belarus.
Belarus rarely appears in Europe's media and Europe does little to promote its values and vision in Belarus. An average Belarusian has a number of Russian TV channels at home which broadcast Russia's vision of Belarus. Europe's capabilities are nowhere near, despite the fact that Belarus borders three EU countries which could launch cross-border TV broadcasts to Belarus. Again, the lack of commitment is evident.
The European Union remains a big bureaucracy where many countries have to come up with a consensus. Schengen zone countries still struggle to agree an easier visa regime for Belarus, which is a sad reminder how inefficient European decision-making could be. When it was difficult to reach an EU-wide consensus in the past, countries such as Poland and Sweden formed coalitions of the willing to go beyond words. Some countries have already eased their visa regime with Belarus setting a good precedent for others.
For historical reasons Russia's influence has been strong in Belarus. However, the West is by far richer and stronger than Russia. Instead of hiding behind the remnants of the iron curtain on the Belarusian border, Europe should demonstrate a more assertive approach. It is important to make a clear distinction between Belarus authorities and Belarusians as a European nation. Not only in declarations but also in concrete actions. This will benefit not only Belarus and its neighbours but security and prosperity in Europe as a whole. | 2019-04-19T04:24:55Z | null | 365.5 | 9,215 | null | 0.042322 | [

It’s a debate on whether there should be a review of current stalking laws. I worked on this area whilst working at the Home Office and it’s something I’m very committed to.
I hope you enjoy it… or find it interesting at least.

There are several methods that can be used for inter-component communication in Vue.js. Normal props and events should be sufficient for most cases, but there are other methods available at your disposal as well.
Of course, the normal method for communication involves props and events. This common pattern provides a powerful way of communicating between components without introducing any dependency or limitations on which components are involved.
Props allow you to pass any data type to a child component, and allow you to control what sort of data your component receives. Prop updates are also reactive, allowing a child component to update whenever parent data changes.
Events provide a way to inform your parent components of changes in children.
Additionally, you can create global event buses to pass events anywhere in your app. We’ve got an article on that.
Using v-model allows for combining props with events for two-way binding. This is often used for input components. v-model assumes the value prop and input event, but this can be customized.
Use When: You need to do pretty much any sort of data passing and messaging between components.
A much newer addition to Vue is the provide / inject mechanism. It allows for selective exposition of data or methods from an ancestor component to all of its descendants. While provide / inject is not itself reactive, it can be used to pass reactive objects.
provide / inject is probably not a good idea to develop an app with, but it can come in quite handy when writing whole custom-rendered component libraries.
If you really, really, really, neeeeed to access a property or method directly on a parent or child component, you can use every component’s this.$parent and this.$children properties to have full access to everything on parent and children components. This is, however, and absolutely, horribly, despicably, terrible idea. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to do this, there’s a 99.99958% chance you did something wrong and should refactor.
Use When: DON’T. JUST DON’T.
Why not? Because you are introducing a direct coupling between both the implementation and structure in markup between parent and children components, making them inflexible and ridiculously easy to break. | 2019-04-18T22:24:56Z | null | 483.9 | 2,267 | null | 0 | []

Wish we could have stayed longer. Hotel is a short walk from the Roma Termini station, and has easy access to all of the monuments. Rooms were clean, comfortable. Note there is no heat or a/c during certain months in Rome, but wasn’t a problem. Front desk staff offered valuable recommendations, pointed us to the Jewish section with interesting local food - otherwise wouldn’t have known about fried artichoke hearts. Roof garden was a bonus, offering some beautiful views while having dinner or coffee. Will definitely return!
A great hotel with friendly yet professional staff. Super rooms which were spotless. We had breakfast in the rooftop terrace every morning and there was a good selection of continental food to choose from. The rooftop bar was open in the evening and as it was chilly there were heaters and if needed there was even a blanket for your knees.
Thank you very much for dedicate us your time and share your wonderful review, here on TripAdvisor.
We are delighted to hear how much you fully enjoyed our service and the room.
Also, we are glad that you enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the Roof Garden.
We are waiting to welcome you again as soon as possible.
We have just returned from this hotel and can confirm that it has many good points.The staff are really helpful. We were advised as to the best local restaurants, and given lots of friendly help by Mario and Alessandro about where to go each day.
The lobby and reception area are very attractive and welcoming. We were checked in quickly and a porter took us to our room and explained the aircon .
The room was rather small but adequate for a few days. It had a tiny balcony overlooking the main street. There were shutters, then full length glass doors, then internal shutters and then curtain !
The storage area was a little tricky to access and just about enough for our 4 days. The room lighting was generally good, as was the flat screen TV and minibar. The bed was a bit hard but fine for me, and the pillows also rather hard.
They provided kettles on request and when I rang down and it was brought up immediately.
The bathroom was a good size, lots of towels.
The wifi was good except one morning when it didn't work and it was fixed later in the day. It didn't seem to work in the breakfast room though.
Generally we were very happy staying here, and it is about 20 minutes walk to the Hop on Hop off bus.
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at the Marcella Royal Hotel and for your kind words, we do really appreciate feedback from our Guests.
Knowing that our guests are happy is our greatest pleasure.
Also, we are glad that you enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the Roof Garden and our panoramic breakfast room.
We look forward to welcoming you again in your "Roman Home"!
Outstanding hotel, with an excellent and friendly staff. I was planning to ask my girlfriend to marry me, the hotel manager and head bar tender set the whole thing up on their roof terrace/bar. They even videoed it for me. It doesn't get anymore romantic than proposing on a rooftop terrace in Rome. I will be back for sure.
Garcia Mario you made our stay in Rome memorable.
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at the Marcella Royal Hotel and for your wonderful words, we do really appreciate feedback from our Guests.
We are so happy to know that you chose our hotel for your special event. It's a pleasure to hear that you spent a nice time with us!
A special thanks from Mario.
Me and my boyfriend love this hotel. This is the second time we have stayed here and the service is outstanding. The decor is beautiful and there are a number or restaurants on the same road which serve amazing pasta and seafood. There is also a bar/ restaurant across the way that plays live music which we love! Cannot recommend this place enough, if you are thinking of visiting Rome this is the hotel!
I would like to thank you for taking the time to share your experience at the Marcella Royal Hotel.
I am delighted to learn that you enjoyed your stay with us, especially our service and the furnishings of the room.
Naturally, I sincerely look forward to welcoming you back at the Marcella Royal Hotel. | 2019-04-22T10:03:24Z | null | 405.2 | 7,426 | null | 0.431592 | [

Bangalore has evolved to be the home of the globetrotters and a haven for tourists for its inimitable weather and its connectivity with many major towns, cities and other popular destinations. From majestic heritage sites to serene hill stations to daunting wildlife sanctuaries to surf-hitting shores; the weekend getaways from Bangalore has a variety on the menu. Adding on to it, there are a whole lot of destinations to be explored within a radius of 300 kilometres from Bangalore and thus, a short drive can land you away from the hustle-bustle life of Bangalore. Here’s what we think are some of the most popular weekend getaways you can choose from. So fancy escaping Bangalore? Then what are you waiting for… the escape is nearer than you think… fill up your tanks, turn on the stereo and hit the road or simply book a bus ticket!
Mysore being the oldest city of Karnataka has a royal charm tagged in every facet as it has served as the royal residence to the mighty Wodeyar dynasty and the Sultans of Mysore. Until 1947, Karnataka was addressed as the Mysore state and is called the ‘City of Palaces’. Mysore, the cultural capital of the state celebrates Dussehra for ten days (Navaratri) with lot of pomp and grandeur and attracts many foreign tourists during this time. Mysore Dussehra is a royal festival that marks the victory of truth over evil and the legend says that it is celebrated to mark the victory of Goddess Chamundi who killed the demon Mahishasura. The whole city is lit up for ten days and has a festive look to it.
The Dusshera festival was initially stated by the Emperors of Vijayanagar during 15th century and was passed on to Mysore Kings, the then subordinates of Vijayanagar kings, during 16th century. The year 2010 marked the 400th year of the commencement of Dusshera. Dussehra is observed as a “Nadahabba- the State festival” and royal family of Mysore performs auspicious poojas and rituals during Dusshera. The major chunk of attraction of Mysore Dusshera is the JambuSavari – the procession that carries the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari in the golden howdah on top of an ornamented elephant. The Mysore palace is the epic centre of all the major events and the procession begins from the Palace and ends at Banni Mantapa grounds. The majesty attraction of Mysore is the Mysore palace and the current palace was built in 1912 and is richly festooned with intricate carvings, paintings and antiques made of gold, silver, and ivory from all round the world and are as old as 900 years. Do hire a tour guide just to make sure your visit is worth it!

Belur, the then capital city of the mighty Hosyala Empire, and Halebidu being the extension of the empire (earlier known as Dwarasamudra), are the popular twin-tourist attractions of Karnataka and is an affair to the heritage lovers. The temples of Belur and Halebidu are one of the finest examples of the south Indian architecture and is said to be built under the supervision of the illustrious architect Amarashilpi Jakanaacharya by the Hoysalas. The Chennakeshava Temple at Belur and Hoysalashwara Temple at Halebidu share the same style of architecture. The Chennakesava temple complex being the major attraction of Belur is devoted to Lord Chennakesava and was built by King Vishnuvardhana in 1116 AD. The legend says that it took nearly 103 year to complete and Vishnuvardhana’s grandson Veera Ballala II completed the task.

The Prabhavali (archway) of Channakeshava idol has a beautifully carved Dashavatharas of Vishnu and with other Indian mythological epics. The temple consists of a Garbhagriha (sanctum), a Sukhanasa (Vestibule), and a Navaranga (the central hall). The exteriors of the temple has a series of tiers in the bottom that are brilliantly festooned with minute sculptures where the lower tier has a series of elephants symbolizing strength, the middle tier that has a series of lions that depict the Courage and the top most tier that has series of horses portraying speed of the empire.

The warrior, killing a horned lion with his sword is the emblem of Hoysala dynasty that portrays the courage and strength of the empire, is also seen here. The temple in Halebidu is built on a double plan (Dvikuta Vimana) and looks almost like two temples joined together. The temple complex has shrines of Hoysaleshwara and Shantaleshwara, named after the temple king Vishnuvardhana Hoysala and his beloved wife Queen Shantala Devi. It is said that the beauty of Shantalata Devi, queen of Hoysala inspired the sculptresses to make these scintillating sculptures.The huge temple complex with two shrines decorated intricate carvings, two Monolithic Nandi statues took almost 190 years to complete and the two sanctums are connected by a corridor each consisting of a large portico and these temples are monumental extravaganza and are richly endowed with finest of the details on stone. Do not forget to gaze at the ceilings as these are intensely crafted with breathtaking designs. The Hoysala temples especially the temples of Belur and Halebidu are extremely embellished with intricate designs which have few similarities.

There's a delightful mathematical moment in the movie Merry Andrew, when Danny Kaye, playing schoolmaster Andrew Larabee, breaks into song to teach the Pythagorean theorem.
I was reminded of this scene by a sentence in an article about the Pythagorean theorem in the October issue of Mathematics Magazine. The Pythagorean theorem "is probably the only nontrivial theorem in mathematics that most people know by heart," comments Darko Veljan of the University of Zagreb in Croatia.
Indeed, if there is one thing that someone might remember from grade school mathematics, it's the fact that "the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two adjacent sides." | 2019-04-18T15:03:29Z | null | 118.7 | 701 | null | 0.154066 | [
