On September 21, 2018, Mitch Kamiel brought together New School students, faculty and family for a thoughtful tribute to his older sister, Deanna.
I was in attendance that somber evening in the auditorium at Alvin Johnson/J.M. Kaplan Hall. My understanding of the person Deanna Kamiel was had been almost entirely informed by the others in the room as they shared such touching memories, tender anecdotes. Their remarks moved me in such a way that left me feeling robbed of the opportunity to have known her on a more personal level.
I let myself become immersed in the energy of the room that night, from the heaviness of broken hearts to the uplifting glimmer of hope in stories told of shared and sacred memories. I could feel the world Deanna left behind, and it was full of warmth, of loving friends, family, and colleagues.
To her family, Deanna was an adventurous, driven woman. Her life was a continuous journey of growth, as she made her way from Canada, to Minnesota, to New York City to pursue her dream of creating impactful, meaningful work.
To her friends and colleagues, she was a passionate educator and a focused documentarian, humbly serving her students and the many audiences who have had the pleasure of viewing her work.
To her students, she was more than a professor. She was a lifetime supporter and friend who saw something in them and pushed them to the potential she knew they were capable of.
Everyone around me had lost a special part of themselves in losing Deanna. It suddenly felt very selfish of me to feel like I was the one missing out.
My relationship with Deanna exists in another reality, as I was indeed able to get to know this remarkable woman. Isn’t it a particular sort of magic to be able to learn from someone who has left us?
In my personal view, it is a sign of a life well-lived when even after someone has gone they’ve managed to leave behind a particular impact, one that speaks volumes of their character.
In that night alone, I’d learned about a woman seemingly predestined to leave her mark through her art and motivation, to push and mold eager minds. Through Deanna’s encouragement and guidance, the individuals who knew her best became that much more equipped with the courage and confidence to go on to make a difference.
We can honor the memory of such an inspiring, influential woman by doing what she knew her students could do: discover and believe in our talent, and then go on to leave our mark on this world. |

Tips for picking the right Immigration Lawyer

Once there is a positive relationship created between the customer and the Immigration Lawyer , it is motivating and encourage to purchase services from same Immigration Lawyer . The first impression matters and customer service is the only determining factor as to whether you will go ahead on choosing that Immigration Lawyer or eliminate it from the list of your options. A good Immigration Lawyer ensures that the employees or the first contact system is designed in a way that is welcoming and informative at the same time. As a client you want to ensure that before you make your decision on getting the service that you are seeking you will enjoy good customer service that also goes in line with getting the right information for the services you are seeking.
The popularity of a Immigration Lawyer is another aspect which you should consider when picking the Immigration Lawyer . Previous customer’s views matter a lot since they have experiences from this Immigration Lawyer hence can guide on which expectations to have after purchasing the service. Immigration Lawyer ‘s reputation is also critical because customer’s expressions about a Immigration Lawyer are guided by prior knowledge and experiences. Thus, before choosing a Immigration Lawyer , inquire from people and secondary sources like online information to find out what people who have dealt with the Immigration Lawyer have to say. Now guided by this information, you will be able to make an informed and guided decision on the best Immigration Lawyer and be assured of no disappointments to follow you.
The cost implication of a service is also important to consider when choosing on Immigration Lawyer . Customers have different abilities to purchase a service. Hence it is very important before deciding on what Immigration Lawyer to get involved with to establish the cost of the service and determine if you are capable of meeting the cost implication. It is also important to ensure that the price you are paying matches the standard of the service. This leads to customer satisfaction and feel the value of their money.

So, it is good to ensure that there is convenience when to comes to transportation expenses if the service you need is offered in a physical location. With technology services can now be offered online and so many times you might opt to eliminate the factor of physical distance of a Immigration Lawyer . However, it is good to know that despite services being offered online you might need to consult that Immigration Lawyer one on one and so physical location becomes an important factor to consider.

I have commented on former governor George Ryan, of Illinois, on several previous occasions. He was convicted of several crimes earlier this year and has now run out of appeals, except to the U. S Supreme Court. For those who remember this case the major issue was "bribes for licenses" while Ryan was Secretary of State. The impact of his decisions led to the death of seven children whose parents are personal friends of mine. The story made the national news many years ago. As the proceedings unfolded, over the last nine years or so, Ryan ran for governor and won. By the end of his four-year term he was discredited and facing a serious trial. He thus becomes the third Illinois governor in my lifetime to go to prison. (We must lead the nation in this category!) Ryan’s situation also helped to destroy the viability of a once strong Illinois Republican party.
Ryan’s attorneys were seeking a motion for bond to allow him to appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court but on Wednesday this was refused by the three-judge panel of the U. S. Court of Appeals Seventh Circuit. So Ryan is now seeking bond from the Supreme Court, which has not been granted since back in the 1960s. This means it is very likely George Ryan will finally enter prison on November 7th. What is most sad about this case, at least to me, is that George Ryan had two opportunities to repent when he faced the father of the children who died because of his actions in office. This happened once before the trial and a second time during the trial itself when the two men were face-to-face. But twice Ryan refused to even communicate in a direct and honest manner with my friend, who sat through a great deal of the trial as a quiet witness to the horror of Ryan’s misconduct. To put it very simply, George Ryan has shown no remorse and unless he is granted the grace of repentance he will spend his last years in a prison lying to himself and denying what he could admit and thereby find real freedom in his soul.
I sometimes find that I am angry with George Ryan for what he did to a family I love dearly. I also have watched my friend and seen how he has handled the pain Ryan helped to bring about in his life and I am reminded to pray for Ryan’s repentance and soul. I do feel it is right that the man finally goes to prison. I hope no delays will prevent it. My wife and I said this morning, "I am sick of reading this story. He should have been in prison a long time ago." Justice does move slowly in the United States. That has both a good side and a bad side to it.
In the last day I am convinced that the the Judge of all the earth "will do right" and justice will not be a drawn out business. All of us should flee to the grace of God now and not wait until it may be too late. |

Whether you are not glad along with your present coffee roaster , it's best to probably examine this contemporary roast SR500 assessment out. With the SR540 you'll be able to fluctuate the length of the roast time, the temperature of the roast (9 settings, versus the three of the SR500) and the fan speed (a turning knob) has a wider vary than earlier than. All changes are made with pushing the knob and turning to adjust the heat, fan, and time. It also options a real-time temperature read out. A fast turn of the knob to the right will display current temperature.
The variety of beans I purchase is dependent upon what is on the market, some varieties are solely available throughout sure seasons or time periods. And generally they have nice sales, once I just add a pound or two of coffee for $2.ninety nine or $three.forty nine or whatever. I am adventurous enough in my coffee preferences that I am going to strive a sale merchandise simply to try it.
Purchase the SR300 if you're getting this as a gift for a basic coffee drinker. Get the SR500 if you are a coffee geek (like us) who would want to see how warmth management and fan speed can affect the roast.

A Background In Secrets In Fresh Roast
The standard shelf life of a roast is a few weeks however, usually speaking , the earlier you possibly can brew, the better. By roasting your personal espresso, you recognize precisely how long it has been for the reason that roast, and you'll decide how a lot espresso you need for a given week.
I too have been roasting a few years with the Recent Roast SR 500. I usually roast Kona or Ka'u coffees from the Island of Hawaii where I live. I use the default setting of a 5.9 minute general roast time. The primary 1.9 minutes are set on Excessive https://papascoffee.org/best-home-coffee-roasters/fresh-roast-sr500/ and then to medium for the remaining 4.0 minutes. As soon as the Cool process stops, I remove the beans and place into mesh basket. With that approach, I'm able to achieve a consistent, very passable medium darkish roast.
Stir the beans for the first two minutes of the roast. Take away the chaff collector (cautious, it could possibly get scorching). Take a long-handled spoon (the spoon within the image is slightly shorter than I'd like), and stir often, making sure to get all the best way to the underside of the chamber and to get across the sides.
And that's really the kicker: the leap in high quality. Even whereas drinking the stale swill at work, I all the time appreciated a greater cup of espresso at house and elsewhere. Even so, they have been both still simply levels of espresso. After dwelling roasting, though, it's like I by no means knew what actual coffee tasted like. I nonetheless drink coffee at work and at eating places, however now I do know it's a fully totally different sr 500 class of beverage. Really contemporary coffee has much more complex flavors, and has a creamier texture. The variations between the various beans is far more pronounced than what I've tasted at espresso shops. And if you would like taste, but with the identical thinness of your common percolated espresso, fresh espresso takes less grounds to produce it.
You may adjust the time with up and down buttons in the control panel and the time will probably be proven by the digital show. Its maximum time control is 9.9 minutes. Contemporary Roast SR500 most capability is around a hundred and twenty grams or a quarter pound, which you need to use to brew around 10 cups of coffee. |

Mee what how? This is Romania’s version of a sausage. It’s like kofte, without the pistachios.
After a trip to visit my sister last year in Romania, I was culinarily inspired in many ways. Romanian food is definitely it’s own unique thing, drawing from the Mediterranean/Italy, Eastern Europe and Russia for an interesting mix of flavors.
Enter Mititei, or “Mici” (pronounced “meech”) for short. This is sort of their version of the kabob, or of kofte. It’s casing-free and skewer-free, just hand formed ground meat grilled really hot and served with a toothpick, mustard and a cold beer. As simple as it sounds, there is something really distinctive about mici. Luckily I happened upon this little blog and found someone that had done all the legwork so I didn’t have to. Which is just as well, because I think the author is Romanian, and I am not, which means she has a much better point of reference to authentic mici.
I made this two ways to see which was better. I had read that one of the distinctive things about mici was the use of suet (aka – beef fat). Since I couldn’t find suet or even tallow before making this recipe, I settled for what we do have plenty of in Texas: lard. Yes, I laced venison with lard. It seems a little “what’s the point” putting a bunch of plain-old, factory-farmed, partially-hydrogenated lard in with probably organic, grass grazing, wild meat, but I digress. That was one way I did it, because mici really needs to have an element of fat. The second way, I mixed half and half ground venison and organic, formerly happy, pasture raised ground beef. Other than that I made them both exactly the same. The trick to the classic spongey texture is to put gelatin in the broth, unless of course you’re using real bone broth that’s already gelatinous.
While the lard/venison combo definitely worked and made a nice spongey-textured sausage thanks to the gelatin broth, the beef/venison combo really did have more of that “je ne sais quoi” that makes mici mici. It was also much easer to work with and form into the free-form sausage. Once I get my hands on some suet or tallow, however, I will let you know if that makes a difference. For now, I have provided instructions for half beef half venison, but feel free to play around with it. While grilling, treat it like a hamburger so it doesn’t stick making sure each side is nice and charred before turning.
One more note: typically when it comes to cumin, I take a “more is more” approach. That approach actually doesn’t really work here. The blend of spices is subtle, letting the flavor of the meat shine through, so if you are like me and tend to scoop a little extra cumin in everything, then don’t. I know, too much cumin? I did not know that was possible.
|3 hours, 10 minutes
|Home Cooking in Montana
- 1lb ground venison
- 1lb ground beef (you could use pork or lamb, but beef is traditional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (or juice of about 1/2 a lemon)
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 tablespoon savory
- 1 teaspoon allspice (ground)
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander (ground)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin (ground)
- 2 teaspoons pepper (ground)
- salt (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup beef stock
- 1/4 cup mince garlic (or one head cloves, peeled and smashed)
- 1/2 cup water
|Mix the baking soda and lemon juice and let it bubble. Stir a little to make sure the baking soda mostly dissolves. Mix the gelatin with the beef broth/stock in a small saucepan and gently warm until the gelatin until it dissolves. Do not let it boil. Set aside to cool. Cover the crushed garlic with the water and also warm gently on the stove until very fragrant, about 5-10 minutes. Set aside to cool, then strain, reserving the water and tossing the garlic (or reusing it in something else).
|Combine the two meats and mix (by hand or with the dough kneader on a mixer). Add the lemon juice/baking soda combo and mix again. Add all the spices and continue to mix until incorporated. Slowly, a little at a time, add the gelatin broth and keep hand mixing. Do the same with the garlic water. All told, you should end up mixing the meat for at least 15 minutes, to where it forms a paste that's almost like a very sticky ball of dough. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate AT LEAST one hour, but 4 hours is better (or overnight).
|Pull the meat out of the refrigerator and form into sausage-like logs. Put on a very hot grill, making sure to cook each side long enough that it won't stick (like a hamburger). Continue to grill until cooked through. Serve with buns or bread and mustard. They are also traditionally consumed with a cold beer. Just sayin'. |

Law Practice: Probate & Estate Administration
Dellis Rand has carried on a wills and estates solicitor's practice in British Columbia for over 32 years.
Currently, her practice focuses on:
· Assisting executors with their simple or complex applications for Grants of Probate where the deceased had a will (testate); and
· Assisting administrators in their applications for Grants of Letters of Administration of the deceased's estate where the deceased died without a will (intestate).
Over the years, Ms. Rand has acted as an executrix, an administratrix and as an administratrix pendente lite for a number of estates so she is very familiar with the work involved in obtaining Grants administering estates and the issues that may arise in the process.
Not all applications are straightforward and Ms. Rand has assisted clients in making applications for Cessate Grants, Administration de bonis non Grants, Grants of Probate of a copy of a will, and Grants limited to only certain portions of an estate.
Although located in the Metro Vancouver area, Ms. Rand has been able to assist clients throughout British Columbia as well as Hawaii, California, Washington State, United Kingdom and Germany, in obtaining Ancillary Grants of Probate and Administration - and in having Grants resealed by the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

What is Edu-Toy?
Edu-toy is an acronym for Education using Toys, with its specific counselling and education techniques based on methods developed by the Operation Bobbi Bear, a highly successful project that has been running in South Africa (www.bobbibear.org.za). LICO is the first organisation to pilot the technique in Malawi.
Edu-Toy is a multi-purpose method that educates children about HIV and AIDS, sexual abuse and Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) in a comprehensive and interactive way. It is proven to be a highly effective and child-friendly means of teaching children about HIV and AIDS, detecting cases of child-abuse and empowering children to report on such issues.
The approach focusses on creating awareness in schools and communities, supporting abused children through counselling, following up of cases, coordinating with stakeholders to support children within their communities as well as when an abuse has taken place and creating a conducive environment for abused children, particularly at the hospital or one stop centre.
Counselling to the abused children is given by way of drawing and other gentle techniques designed to help them communicate about their experiences. We use a special teddy bear as a child-friendly and non-threatening method to determine the nature of abuse and subsequent health risks. By applying professional counselling skills, the child is invited to talk about the abuse by relating it to the teddy bear using permanent markers, elastic straps and bandages. This method has been proved to be a highly effective way of counselling abused children and collecting evidence that can be used in court.
children who have been sexually assaulted need to be seen at the hospital as soon as possible for HIV, STIs, and pregnancy testing, ideally within three days of the incident. |
[aprssig] APRS Voice?
bruninga at usna.edu
Sun Oct 13 19:07:47 EDT 2013
Maybe it is time to add Voice to APRS!
For now 12 years I have been trying to get the authors of Echolink, IRLP,
ALLStar, DSTAR, Yaesu, STARS, etc to add APRS call-setup to their VOIP
programs with no success.
How hard would it be for APRS authors instead to add VOIP connections to
their IGates? Just a little software and adding an extra UHF voice radio
to the sound card. The software would not need a full all-to-all
capability like those other ham VOIP systems, but could simply place a VOIP
connection between IGates for the duration of a call. The call is
established as always proposed in http://aprs.org/avrs.html
1) Caller sends an APRS message to CALLEE asking for AVRS QSO
2) IGATE nearest CALLEE delivers message and ALSO sends message to CALLEE
with FREQ object to QSY his radio to local IGate VOIP channel
3) IGATE nearest CALLEE sends ACK message back to CALLER saying (CALLEE
heard last X minutes) or (CALLEE not heard in over XX minutes)
3+) Optional, CALLEE replies to CALLERS original message as confirmation
that he/she is a real live human responding.
4) IGATE local to CALLER sends message to CALLER with QSY object to its
local RF VOIP channel
4+) Option: Kenwood or Yaesu radio auto-qsy's to IGATES RF VOIP channel.
Otherwise, operator has to push TUNE or QSY button.
5) CALLER QSY's to the IGates RF AVRS channel and by voice, CALLS CALLEE.
6) If CALLEE hears the call, then QSO ensues.
Its all there. How hard can it be for two IGates to set up a VOIP link for
the duration of the call?
See the original concept on http://avrs.html
Afterall, that has been what ALL of the last decade of APRS development has
been about, getting the APRS network ready for APRS voice calling:
a) FREQ objects to show voice freqs
b) FREQ field in APRS posits to see how to contact operator
c) QSY and TUNE buttons in Yaesu and Kenwood radios
d) FREQ OBJECT-in-MESSAGE construct so QSY info can pass thorugh existing
*** Notice, this last one, (d) would have required changes to all IGATES
and all clients to pass through the OBJ-in-msg format. BUT!!!! If the
IGates implement this system internally, then they can interpret the QSY
Freq message into a LOCAL OBJECT which then would be delivered as currently
designed! And all exiting radios could act on it. Nothing to wait for.
It can work NOW!
And, as a vertically integrated within-the-IGate, system, one author can
get this whole ball rolling!

Poker is a card game where players bet against each other to win a pot of money. It is played with poker chips (red, white, black, blue), which the dealer assigns a value to before the game begins.
Poker rules vary from game to game. In Texas hold ’em, for example, all players must place an ante before the deal begins. This ante is usually a single unit or a fraction of the minimum bet.
The ante also provides an incentive for players to stay in the hand. In addition, it helps to limit the number of people who fold their hands by requiring each player to put a small amount into the pot before the first betting round begins.
When a player has been dealt two or more cards, they can make a bet, raise the bet, or check. They may also “fold” or “muck” their hand, which forfeits any interest in the current pot, but leaves them free to re-enter the hand at a later time.
A player can raise by saying, “I raise.” They then place a chip into the pot and wait for the next player to call their new bet. If no one calls, they can continue to raise until they are the last player left in the hand.
In most games, a player can only raise if they have a better hand than the other players. For this reason, it is important to identify conservative players from aggressive ones. The more you practice, the faster and more accurately you will be able to read your opponents’ behavior. |

Reebok, the iconic lifestyle brand; in partnership with Yellowbrick, the online education platform focused on the Creator Economy; sneaker and fashion specialty retailer APB; and national education and workforce nonprofit Jobs for the Future (JFF), today announced the completion of their first collaborative online education and mentorship program. Launched last year, the program worked with 36 individuals, ages 17-20, to develop the relevant knowledge, skills, and experience needed for a pathway into the sneaker industry. The program concludes with the drop of a Reebok sneaker that was designed, produced, and marketed by three of the students: Isaac Reeves, Ashley Hamilton, and Ben Gass. The product will be available online from 4.29 at www.apbstore.com and in store at APB locations in Columbia, Greenville, Charleston, Tallahassee and Jacksonville.
The 36 participants were chosen through a rigorous national submissions process that began in the spring of 2021. Once selected, the students engaged with online instruction that was held weekly for 12 weeks. The pro bono instruction, combined content from Yellowbrick’s popular Sneaker Essentials course (developed in collaboration with FIT and Complex) with live mentorship from leaders at Reebok and APB. The program covered sneaker development from concept to market, including design, sales, marketing, and the C-to-C retail market. All participants produced a final project that included a unique sneaker design, production, and retail and go to market strategies.
“There’s a perception in the sneaker industry that the only way in is through design channels pursued along traditional paths – we wanted to turn that belief on its head,” said Sean Finucane, Vice President, Wholesale at Reebok. “With the support of this program, these gifted students now possess valuable experience and portfolio pieces that will help them demonstrate their talents to the industry, regardless of the path that they’ve taken. We are honored to have been a part of that process.”
As a bonus project and opportunity, the three students who submitted the most compelling designs and plans were invited to work together to develop a shoe for production and sale through APB. The selected design came from Isaac “Ikey” Reeves, a creative director and artist from Lafayette, Indiana. Two other students, Ashley Hamilton, and Ben Gass were selected for their additional talents and helped execute the production and marketing behind the shoe. Hamilton is currently a freshman at Howard University and a future Marketing major. Gass is from San Diego, CA, and studies at the University of Oregon in Eugene, OR.
Together, with the guidance of their mentors, the students took the sneaker through the final design process and into production, while also navigating pandemic-fueled supply chain challenges. The team developed and executed the marketing plan and creative assets that will drive the sales of the shoe. The assets can be seen here (high resolution available upon request). Net proceeds from the purchases will go toward additional funding for the program, which the partners hope to kick off in the coming months.
“We were simply amazed by the dedication we saw in these learners – joining the sessions every Saturday and handling tough assignments during the week while also working jobs or attending school,” said James Whitner, Owner & Founder of The Whitaker Group, the award-winning retail company that owns APB. “We saw real passion and commitment, and we’re extremely happy for these three students.”
“Our Sneakers Essentials course has been elevated through the work that we did with Reebok, APB and JFF,” said Michael Godshall, Chief Creative Director at Yellowbrick. “Students were able to interact directly with Reebok and APB experts representing all facets of the industry. We’re immensely proud of what all the participants accomplished. We look forward to working with our partners on future career pathway programs.”
“At JFF, we partner with innovators that are building new models and solutions towards social and economic advancement,” said Kristina Francis, executive director, JFFLabs, a team that bridges JFF’s traditional field leadership with new relationships, practices, and business models. “This program from Yellowbrick works not only because it helps people build skills through work-based learning and career exploration, but it also makes an investment in the long-term growth of students through mentorship, social capital, and network connections that enable learners to access—and sustain—careers in high-growth sectors like Creative.” |

PLAY OUR CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF COURSE
IT'S TIME TO PLAY
New Forest boasts of having a truly spectacular course that is both a joy to the eye and a pleasure to play. Already recognised as one of the great Irish parkland golf courses, the undulating and natural forested surroundings bring an outstanding quality to the course, with some of the finest putting surfaces, tees and fairways in the country. The course is laid out over gently rolling terrain and is bounded by mature woodlands that gives the property a very natural and traditional feel.
Whilst only opened since the summer of 2006, the course offers a maturity of play only found on courses that have been around for decades.
The course plays 6928 yards off the back markers and has four par 5’s, ten par 4’s, and the four par 3’s, with water coming into play on 2 holes and hazard areas on many others. Accuracy, good course management and solid iron play is required. The toughest holes are 4 and 12, both par 4’s are the lowest index on the course. Measuring 450 each they both provide a different test. The signature hole is the Par 3 9th, situated with the estate’s walled garden. The shortest hole on the golf course provides a welcome break before entering Amen corner. Holes 10 through 13 is where scores are made and lost. The course provides it all, with birdie chances on the short Par 4 3rd and the reachable Par 5’s 5 & 17. Long Par 3’s 11 & 16 where bogey is often a good score. Overall New Forest provides the visitor with an unforgettable and enjoyable challenge.
New Forest has been selected by golf ireland to host many major competitions over the years and it is a testament to the quality and challenge of the course that it continues to be sought as a host for major competitions.
The 2019 Irish Boys Championship was the last national event held at New Forest. Held in June, the weather was fantastic and showed off the course in all its glory. There was nothing but praise for the quality and standard of the course and our facilities.
We hope that you will come and play our course which we feel sure you will enjoy. |

TOMS RIVER – See the many sides of Ocean County’s terrain, skies and landmarks through the art of longtime shore resident Errol “Bud” Sylvester, on display October 2 through 25 and November 13 through 17 at the Ocean County Library Berkeley Branch.
Sylvester’s paintings cover a broad expanse of representational subjects, including landscapes, beachscapes, snow scenes, lighthouses, and shore bird life.
“Working with oil paints, brush and knife allows me to completely cover my canvas with common undertones and colors that are important to my final results,” Sylvester said. “I like to use a specific color undertone…to help create an overall warm feeling or mood.”
Born and raised in Trenton, Sylvester received his art training as a college student. He painted in spare time while designing and building exhibits for the New Jersey State Museum, directing advertising for the Trenton Times, and entering the corporate world.
Relocating to Ocean County after retirement, Bud rekindled his passion for painting. He has found inspiration in the scenery of the shore, the changing of seasons, and sights that highlight his travels.
The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular Branch operating hours. No registration is required. For more information, stop by the Berkeley Branch, 30 Station Road, Bayville, visit http://www.theoceancountylibrary.org/events, or call (732) 269-2144.09-25-sylvester.pdf |
Decentralization and sovereignty: how policy space is eroded
Citizens’ Network on Essential Services
In many countries,
citizens clamor for decentralization which can vest them with
greater grassroots power and autonomy. The foundation of decentralization is the
“principle of subsidiarity,” which assigns power and responsibility to the
lowest level of government – the level closest to the people being served.
decentralization (another term for “privatization”) shifts power and
responsibility from governments to firms – even in the areas of health care,
education and water services. Particularly in the absence of strong regulation,
citizens, especially poor citizens, have little power over firms.
The impacts of
decentralization were studied by researchers at the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD) in 19 countries, who found that
“decentralization has actually led to improvements in poverty reduction in only
a third of the cases” (Jutting et al., 2005). Countries where there has
been no impact or a negative impact include Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique,
Vietnam and Sri Lanka.
contribute to the disappointing impacts of decentralization. This article
highlights how the international financial and trade institutions derail
decentralization by diminishing “fiscal space” (i.e., options and resources) and
transferring the rights of governments to investors. To take back power,
citizens must not only struggle to establish accountable, representative
government, but also take into account the ways in which the international
financial and trade organizations, e.g., the International Monetary Fund (IMF),
World Bank and World Trade Organization (WTO), can undercut their efforts.
During the 1990s,
Shahid J. Burki and Guillermo Perry, World Bank Vice President for Latin America
and Chief Economist, respectively, engineered decentralization in the region. In
Beyond the Center, Burki et al. (1998) argue that in order to
protect against macroeconomic instability caused by subnational (i.e., state and
local) fiscal excesses, it is necessary to have a “hegemonic and internally
disciplined political party with the power to suppress any defiant behavior on
the part of subnational politicians” and to revise electoral rules to
“discourage party fragmentation…which makes policy-making more difficult and
weakens the position of the president.” The authors also stress the importance
of rules and legislation that strengthen the office of the presidency in
relation to the legislature, including “powers to rule by decree” and “an
unassailable presidential veto.”
In Latin America,
this is called presidencialismo. This suits the reformers for whom the
ultimate goal of decentralization is the transfer of public responsibilities to
private sector actors. Indeed, decentralization redefines the boundaries of the
public and private sectors.
Financial Institutions – the IMF and the World Bank – centralize power through
policy conditionality attached to loans negotiated with the Finance Ministers of
developing countries. Some conditions require Presidents to issue “Supreme” or
“Executive Decrees.” In the aftermath of protests against water price hikes in
Cochabamba, Bolivia, the World Bank postponed its requirement that the Executive
issue a Supreme Decree further raising water prices. In 2004, a loan called for
Mozambique to issue seven decrees.
Such measures shift power from the legislative branch to the executive branch of
government and undermine the democratic character and functions of the
parliaments, Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) processes have also
facilitated this shift. Low-income country governments must prepare PRSPs –
so-called national development strategies as a requirement for financing.
Parliaments need not only greater engagement, but also more power in such
processes. As it is, the IMF sets budget parameters for the governments of most
low-income and highly-indebted countries to heed.
Donors and creditors
do not use their power responsibly when their volatile aid flows create massive
budget imbalances. Some countries, such as Ghana and Ethiopia, have absorbed
rather than spent aid in order to off-set volatile aid flows, avoid currency
appreciation, and build up reserves.
In addition, donors and creditors undercut governments when they channel
financing through Program Implementation Units (PIUs) which operate in parallel
with public administration and budgeting efforts.
priorities appear in the budgets of local governments, these budgets need to be
spent on the donors’ goals rather than on other local needs. In some countries,
such as Mali, donors are requiring governments to devote more resources to
foreign-owned projects while local priorities are neglected.
Attempts by donors
and creditors to build government capacity for public financial management,
including budgeting, have had mixed results. World Bank support for capacity
building has encountered “considerable difficulty in the area of public
financial management largely because of limited country ownership of the change
Indeed, such efforts in Ghana were doomed because the government had different
goals than the Bank.
and creditors provide “budget support,” meaning that they pool their resources
in support of national and subnational budgets. In 2004, a USAID study finds
that the budget support process in Tanzania prompted the disengagement of many
parliamentarians (Frantz, 2004, p. 7).
When donors pool
their money, it relieves a government of the competing demands of many donors,
but it also creates a donor/creditor policy cartel with many “budget bosses.”
Steps to shift
rights from governments to investors
The World Bank’s
focus on reforming investment regimes constitutes a centerpiece of its corporate
strategy. This emphasis permeates its operations to promote decentralization
through structural adjustment, public sector reform,
and sector-wide reform (e.g., health care, education) programs as well as its
Donors and creditors
finance privatization, budget austerity, and economic liberalization programs
that accompany the decentralization process. The impacts of such policies on
local governments are discussed below.
Decentralization and Privatization. Commonly, political decentralization
precedes fiscal decentralization, so that local governments inherit “unfunded
mandates” – that is, mandates to deliver services without the resources required
to do so. This is particularly problematic because local governments may lack
access to capital markets and rely heavily upon locally-generated taxes and fees
for services. Due to the lack of resources, many local governments are forced to
privatize assets and services.
The World Bank
sometimes cripples local governments by promoting premature decentralization,
placing additional financial resources and responsibilities upon local
governments before they are prepared to handle them.
Decentralization and Services in Sri Lanka
The 2003-2006 World Bank Country Assistance Strategy (CAS)
for Sri Lanka stipulated that the government would gain access to higher
levels of financing if it increased the share of revenues transferred to the
local level. On one hand, there is a good argument to be made that
decentralization needs to be accompanied by corresponding increases in fiscal
resources. On the other hand, the CAS suggests that this transfer will be the
principal measure of effective decentralization – a classic case of using a
simple input (money) to measure a complex outcome (good local governance).
Because more World Bank funds are promised if these transfers are sped up, the
government has an incentive to channel significant revenue streams before
mechanisms are created for ensuring transparent and accountable governance at
the local level.
In the privatization
process, local governments are often faced with demands that they provide
subsidies and guarantees for private firms.
As privatization proceeds at the subnational level, local governments are often
required to provide subsidies for corporations. Some schemes provide
“performance-based” subsidies to firms when delivery of services (e.g., health
care, education, water) to poor populations is verified. However, there are
serious transaction costs and constraints to such schemes, especially in
low-income countries and those with weak governance.
Donors and creditors
promote subsidies to corporations, since cross-subsidies between sectors
(telecommunications and water) or between rich and poor rate-payers violate
Guarantees. Generally, investors expect local governments to provide
guarantees – particularly for infrastructure projects – which shift specific
price, demand and currency risks onto taxpayers. The Articles of Agreement of
the World Bank (IBRD and IDA) require that, if the institution provides a
guarantee to a subnational government, it must obtain a counter-guarantee from
the central government. However, the World Bank and other creditors and donors
launched a new Subnational Development (SND) Facility in July 2006 that offers
guarantees to local governments without backing from the central government.
When private ventures backed
by a guarantee fail, the local government is likely to assume large, debt-like
financial obligations without any mechanisms for restructuring or writing down
the obligations. Creditors might intercept transfers
from the central to local government, leaving the local government impoverished.
spending. At present, donors and creditors are promoting infrastructure
investment. Soon, infrastructure operations will constitute 40% of the World
Bank’s lending portfolio. The IMF raised its inflation targets to permit higher
levels of government spending for infrastructure, among other things. Local
governments are being asked to provide significant infrastructure financing and
guarantees relative to their fiscal resources. Indeed, the World Bank estimates
that during the 1990s, governments and public utilities provided 70% of the
financing for public-private partnerships (PPPs) in infrastructure compared with
only 22% from aid, and 8% from the private sector.
In 2005, World Bank
expert Antonio Estache (2004) released a study of PPPs in infrastructure from
1994 to 2004 which found that efficiency gains were often at the expense of poor
people and poor areas. Risks to government budgets increased as governments
offered investors costly guarantees and financial supports that ensure
profitability, minimize capital outlays, and greatly increase the fiscal
exposure of government. Corruption also increased.
In order to expand
the supply of infrastructure and social services, donors and creditors are also
scaling up community-driven development (CDD) and social fund (SF) operations
which finance community groups, civil society organizations, and local
governments. World Bank lending in support of CDD approaches increased from USD
250 million in 1996 to approximately USD 2 billion annual investments (or 10% of
the Bank’s portfolio) in 2004. Social funds have received World Bank financing
in about 60 countries for a total of nearly USD 4 billion from all sources.
World Bank evaluators found that:
The experience with community development shows that despite
sophisticated targeting mechanisms, the poorest and most vulnerable generally
appear to have been missed while the better off among the community have gained
more of the benefits... Where social funds have accounted for a substantial
share of public expenditure, such as in Bolivia, Honduras, and Nicaragua, they
have distorted the efficiency of resource allocation and have negatively
affected sectoral and budgetary planning. And where community development
projects have been implemented by setting up parallel structures for community
participation rather than by working through local governments, they have
actually weakened the capacity of local governments and the decentralization
Three out of four of
the water components of CDD projects failed.
External evaluators participating in a World Bank evaluation of such projects
suggested that the Bank cease financing CDD and SF operations until performance
can be improved.
mortgage the future
1. Cutting Local
Governments Loose. Since 2002, investment reform has taken center stage in
the World Bank’s corporate strategy. Decentralization can upset the
macroeconomic stability prized by investors. Hence, to restrain demand, restore
macroeconomic balances and build creditworthy subnational governments, donors
and creditors promote policies to:
limit fiscal transfers from central to state and local (“subnational”)
allow central government transfers to local governments to be
“intercepted by creditors in order to collect debt-related obligations;
require local governments to adopt hard budget ceilings which prevent
central governments from bailing them out.
For instance, prior
to the 2002 election in Brazil, leaks revealed that the IMF and the Brazilian
Finance Ministry agreed to terms which required, among other things, a reduction
in revenue-sharing with the states and municipalities, termination of revenue
earmarking, and promises by President Lula Da Silva’s new administration to
resist pressures to reopen the debt restructuring agreements between federal and
This deal, which by-passed democratic debate and decision-making by the
Brazilian Congress and people, placed state and local governments under
significant fiscal pressure.
The case of Bolivia
In 2002, World Bank loans required that the Government of
Bolivia 1) present a legal opinion confirming the legality of the use of
revenue intercepts as collateral to municipal credit operations with any
lender; 2) adopt major procurement reforms; and 3) require municipalities to
adopt fiscal responsibility laws, which ensure that they maintain hard budget
ceilings, precluding bail-outs from the central government.
Such steps are intended to improve the access of municipalities to financing
from the international capital markets for their local investment programs.
Seven municipalities adopted fiscal responsibility laws and
accepted fiscal targets that were based on the IMF’s assumption of 4% Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) growth in 2001. The actual GDP growth rate was only
1.2% with output declining in all areas except for natural gas production.
Central government revenues plunged by 26% in 2001 and general
transfers from the central to municipal governments were 11% less than
projected. However, the municipalities with fiscal responsibility laws were
constrained from borrowing; instead, they instituted new taxes and user fees
and carried out cutbacks in programs and services.
2. Budgets and
Government Procurement. Donors and creditors engaged in “budget support”
operations are in a position to pressure governments to liberalize government
procurement at central and subnational levels. Through procurement practices,
governments have always promoted national or local productive, employment, and
service sectors. However, as government procurement is liberalized, local
suppliers and workers must compete for government contracts with global
suppliers. Liberalizing government procurement is a sure path to privatization
In Ghana, a binding
condition of a 2003 World Bank loan required the liberalization of government
The loan conditionality was so invasive that a World Bank Board member expressed
concern that the World Bank’s heavy pressure was forcing Ghana to liberalize
well beyond WTO requirements.
In 2005, World Bank
evaluators stated that IDA exerted “significant pressure” on the government of
Malawi to liberalize its procurement and that the Bank did not pay attention to
government concerns about proposed procurement reforms, which were finally
liberalization policies. By definition, trade liberalization cuts trade
taxes, hence putting tremendous fiscal pressure on central governments, which
turn to local governments to shoulder greater fiscal burdens.
Africa, trade taxes accounted for between a quarter and a third of total tax
revenue. Consumption taxes (e.g., the value-added tax, or VAT) seek to recoup
lost revenue from trade taxes. The VAT is highly regressive, meaning that it
hits low-income groups the hardest.
usually fail to replace lost trade tax revenues from other sources. “Using a
panel of 125 countries over 20 years, Baunsgaard and Keen (2005) find that
low-income countries typically recover at most 30 cents for each dollar of lost
trade tax revenue, even over the longer-term.”
A recent United
Nations Conference on Trade and Development study predicts that the losses in
tariff income for developing countries under the WTO’s Doha Round could range
between USD 32 billion and USD 63 billion annually. This loss in government
revenues – the source of developing-country health care, education, water
provision, and sanitation budgets – is two to four times the mere USD 16 billion
in benefits projected by the World Bank.
legislatures have little influence over decisions to reduce tariffs, they are
generally faced with a potentially catastrophic budgetary situation after the
cuts are made.
2. Trade and
Investment Agreements. The WTO, including the General Agreement on Trade in
Services (GATS), came into force in 1994. The GATS applies its rules, or
disciplines, to about 160 sectors. As central governments make
commitments under the GATS and negotiate other trade and investment agreements,
they are committing local governments to conformity with trade rules.
These trade rules are enforced on the domestic legal and regulatory activities
of “regional, or local governments” and “nongovernmental bodies in
the exercise of powers delegated” by any and all government jurisdictions. These
rules create a loss of fiscal and policy space at the local level.
When a government’s
human rights norms and trade rules come into conflict, the conflict would not be
resolved in a domestic court, but rather in a secret international trade
tribunal, beyond the public “eye.”
A UN report,
“Economic, Social and Cultural Rights: Liberalization of Trade in Services and
presented extensive evidence that, although increased foreign private investment
can upgrade national infrastructure, introduce new technology, and provide
employment; it can also lead to:
the establishment of a two-tiered service supply with a corporate
segment focused on the healthy and wealthy and an under-financed public sector
focusing on the poor and sick;
an overemphasis on commercial objectives at the expense of social
objectives which might be more focused on the provision of quality health, water
and education services for those that cannot afford them at commercial rates;
an increasingly large and powerful private sector that can threaten the
role of the government as the primary duty bearer for human rights by subverting
regulatory systems through political pressure or the co-opting of regulators.

Pumping of hydraulic system
1. Pumping of hydraulic system should be made after replacement of any of components of a brake path, including connecting tubes and hoses. Presence of air at hydraulic contours leads to violation of serviceability of functioning of brakes.
2. First of all check on existence of signs of leaks all brake lines and their shtutserny connections.
3. If the system was emptied for the purpose of removal of liquid of a doubtful origin from it, the hydraulic path should be washed out by special structure which always it is possible to get in firm Citroёn company service centers. Having pumped over system, leave its filled with flushing structure which should be used throughout about 1000 km (600 miles) run. Then it is necessary to empty and fill system with standard hydraulic LHM liquid again. In case of failure of rubber consolidations as a result of use of the non-standard liquid, all damaged components are subject to replacement. It is necessary to charge performance of this work to specialists of car repair shop.
4. Pumping of forward and back brake contours is made by one principle.
5. Several times transfer a control lever a suspension bracket to the situation "Minimum", each time returning it back in the situation "Maximum".
6. Establish a control lever a suspension bracket in the situation "Maximum".
7. To Poddomkratta the car, having torn off from the earth all four wheels, also establish it on props.
8. Remove wheels.
9. Start the engine and leave it working at single turns.
10. If depressurization only one of system sites with acceptance of the appropriate measures on minimization of losses of hydraulic liquid was made, will enough pump over only that contour to which air could get. Complete pumping of system should be made in the following order:
a) Left forward brake mechanism;
b) Right forward brake mechanism;
c) Left back brake mechanism;
d) Right back brake mechanism.
11. Prepare a transparent vessel, a piece of the rubber or plastic hose which is densely sitting down on gates of pumping and a cap key for an otpuskaniye of gates. The help of the assistant is required also. Location of gates of pumping on supports of brake mechanisms is shown on illustrations:
a) Gate of pumping of a support of the forward brake mechanism
b) Gate of pumping of a support of the back brake mechanism
12. Check liquid level in the tank of hydraulic system (it should be supported constantly not below MIN mark) (address to Head Routine maintenance).
13. Remove a dustproof cap from the gate of pumping of the corresponding brake mechanism. Throw the gate with a key, then pull on it the prepared piece of a hose. The second end of a hose lower in the transparent vessel which has been partially filled with hydraulic liquid (the cut of a hose should appear it is completely shipped in liquid).
14. Ask the assistant to squeeze out a pedal of a foot brake slightly.
15. Release the gate and allow liquid to follow in a reception vessel. Continue until the hose will not start to leave free from air bubbles hydraulic liquid.
16. Having finished pumping, densely tighten the gate, lift the receiver also a key and establish a dustproof cap.
Do not tighten the gate too hardly in order to avoid support damage!
17. If it is required, repeat procedure, having pumped over following on an order (see item 10) the brake mechanism.
18. Muffle the engine
19. Establish to the place of a wheel, lower the car on the earth and tighten wheel bolts with demanded effort.
20. Check liquid level in the tank of hydraulic system (address to Head Routine maintenance). |
In a move that is sure to offend customer while keeping Verizon’s pockets deep, CEO Lowell McAdam stated in a conversation with investors that he doesn’t see unlimited data plans as making sense when their 4G network rolls out. Purchasing a set data bandwidth per month is what he sees as the logical model moving forward.
Puh-lease. What part about serving up bandwidth in capped blocks makes sense for a network with higher data speeds and more smartphone users taking advantage of those speeds? I guess it does make great sense for investors and Verizon who will be able to easily tag on overage fees, but they’ll have a hard time selling this to customers. People are having a hard time enough swallowing the extra $10 a month for usage of 4G with the HTC EVO 4G. Data served in this model will mean contracts that ultimately don’t go in favor of the consumer. /rant
The light at the end of this tunnel? Verizon is moving forward with their 4G plans with conviction. By the first half of 2011 they plan to carry three to five 4G handsets, with LTE calls via VoIP by 2012.
As a long-time VZW customer the new billing policy that will arrive sooner rather than later is disconcerting, but the fact is Verizon won’t be alone in this shift in data coverage costs. We all knew “unlimited” could only last so long.

15 Jan Carnaval 2020 – All You Need To Know
Whilst February on the French Riviera might be relatively low on sunshine, the month brings with it, two major and colourful events, Nice Carnival and Fête du Citron in Menton.
The preparations are well under way for both events which will equally start on the 15th February 2020. The spirit of these annual affairs liven up the streets of Nice and Menton in a giant fiesta of dancing, celebration and extravaganza.
Experience the joyful social gathering of these festivities that have for years preserved the philosophy of fun, entertainment, spontaneous merriment and the appreciation of local heritage.
A Little History of the Nice Carnival
The name carnival originates from the Latin expression ‘Carne vale’ that literally translates as “farewell to meat”. In most countries with carnivals the festivities have traditionally been held before Ash Wednesday when 40 days of the liturgical season ‘Lent’ began and the consumption of meat was traditionally not permitted until Easter. Before Lent began, all rich food and drink were consumed in what became a giant celebration that involved the whole community, and is thought to be the origin of Carnival.
Dating back to the medieval ages, the first written mention of the Nice Carnival is from a 1284 travel report written by Charles of Anjou, count of Provence and King of Sicily describing his time in Nice as ‘joyful days of carnival’.
Until the 19th century, the carnival was just a pagan street party, a way to say farewell to winter, to move from darkness to light, a fertility celebration and the first spring festival of the new year. This was frowned upon by the Catholic Church who tried to have it banned more than just once.
The first time that the carnival was ‘officially’ organised was during a royal visit of Charles Felix, King of Sardinia and Duke of Savoy and Queen Maria Christina of Naples and Sicily. In their honour, 30 carriages with influential local folks dressed in fancy costumes were paraded under the palace balcony. From then on, the tradition of a parade continued even without the royals. The people of Nice made a king and queen out of straw and sat them on the palace balcony to overlook the festivities.
The pioneering official committee responsible for the proper organisation of the carnival was set up in 1873, and on 23rd February 1873, the first Nice Carnival entered the City. In 1876 the flower parade and the battle of flowers were added and this tradition continues ever since then.
Then in 1882 the committee decided that the dummy king should participate in the parade to mark the beginning of the celebration, and to this day, the arrival of the royal float is one of the most important moments of the carnival and the royalty reside on Place Masséna during the whole time of the celebrations.
For years a boat was sent out to the sea from the Prom with a burning king to signal the end of the festivities (later followed by fireworks). These days this tradition is held on Place Masséna, mostly due to security reasons.
The Nice Carnival doesn’t follow the strict rules of Lent anymore. The event happens the second week of February every year which must make the founders of the festival to spin in their graves one might think.

Nice Carnival 2020
Taking as its theme this year ‘King of Fashion’, Nice will once more fill its streets with locals and people who have flocked here from different parts of France and abroad to experience a cornucopia of music, colour and fantasy in an intensely festive atmosphere.
It comes as no surprise that this year’s poster honours Karl Lagerfeld, one of the most creative fashion designers of the 20th century, who passed away in February 2019. To this date, not much has been leaked about the upcoming festival, but we can expect “Nice to turn into Paris – the world’s capital of fashion”. There is no shortage of big names in the world of haute couture, so we are expecting the floats will be filled with ‘Big heads’ of crème de la crème of the fashion industry such as Versace, J.P. Gaultier, Valentino, Dior, Chanel…and perhaps ‘The Big Five’ supermodels of the 90’s? Right now we can only guess.
With a budget estimated around €6 million and over 1100 street performers animating the floats, dancers and musicians from all over the world, you can expect ‘défilé’ which has to be experienced to be believed.
Parade of Lights
15th, 18th, 22nd, 25th and 29th February 2020 at 21:00.
18 floats led by the King, Queen and Carnavalon, followed by their court and 150 effigies including ‘Big Heads’ made out of papier mâché. These creations can take up to six months to build and feature generous doses of imagination and infectious good humor. At least 20 tons of confetti is used, so be prepared to find them in the most unexpected places several days after the parade. The floats are accompanied by bands and performers with very original masks, spreading around loads of entertainment, fun and tradition for children and adults alike.
15th, 19th, 22nd, 26th and 29th February 2020 at 14:30.
The parade known as Battle of Flowers or ‘Bataille des Fleurs’ was first introduced in 1876 in order to entertain winter visitors and to highlight local horticultural production. 20 floats fully covered in flowers take a part in what are Flower Parades. Flower ladies topping these floats throw more than 3000 flowers to the crowd. Mimosas, gladioli, gerberas, roses, daisies, tulips and more, 85% of these flowers are grown locally and especially for the carnival. A part of you cries, what a waste of these beauties, but it is a tradition and spectators get to bring them home.
It is quieter and a little less ‘claustrophobic’ than the Parade of Lights, however, it still delivers eye-popping spectacle with multi coloured costumes, lots of fun and craziness.
Carnival Parade ‘Parada Nissarda’
23rd February 2020 at 14:30.
Parada Nissarda, added to the program since 2015, is a carnival parade performed only by local associations with the help of the children from the different quarters of Nice. Genuinely popular part of the Carnival, in line with the origins of the feast in Nissa La Bella.
Route (route is the same for all events)
The Parade will pass through Place Masséna (zone A) and will turn around the Promenade du Paillon (zone B). This route means that the Promenade du Paillon garden will be closed before and during events.
There are two standing areas, Zone A (Place Masséna) and Zone B (around Jardin Albert Ier) and reserved seats on tribunes.
The reserved seated tickets are obviously the most expensive ones, depending on a show either for €21 or €26.
Zone A costs €12 and Zone B €5.
Children up to 5 years old go for free and between 6-10 years go either for free or €5 for standing ticket depending on the show or for €10 for a seated ticket.
In fairness, the standing ticket, especially the cheapest rate in Zone B, gives you the most of the freedom to move around and an opportunity to find a great spot for taking photos.
You can purchase tickets online here, where you can choose your own seats and print a ticket at home.
Arrive at least half an hour before the beginning of the show as due to the security checks it takes a while to get in and secure a good viewing spot.
Carnival wouldn’t be a carnival without encouraging folks to dress up. Everybody in “full fancy-dress” receives free entrance to the standing area Place Masséna for the Carnival parade (not the flower parade). Bare in mind that a mask or simple hat is not considered as a costume, so you really need to put an effort into your outfit. (Check out the rules here)
All the information about the carnival, a possibility to book your ticket online and heaps of useful information can be found on the official website www.nicecarnaval.com |

On one common telling of the history, phenomenology originates as a philosophical movement incubated in professional jealousy, personal rivalry, and intrigue. If someone as Emmanuel Falque has called the recent work among phenomenologists in France a “loving struggle,” the same cannot be said for phenomenology’s earliest beginnings in Germany. Surrounded initially by a burgeoning cadre of students whom he hoped would be heirs to a research program united in its philosophical vision, Edmund Husserl, father of transcendental phenomenology, instead found his aspirations increasingly disappointed as the years passed. As he was to remark in a note towards the end of his career, the general sentiment of his time, one against which he never ceased to struggle, took a dismissively dim view of the systemiticity he so favored: “Philosophy as science, as serious, rigorous, indeed apodictically rigorous science—the dream is over” (Husserl 1970, 389). At the end of his life, he stood alone in his unflagging zeal for the cause of philosophy as science. One after another, Husserl’s former disciples with rare exception had deserted that vision of phenomenology and its future. Among the most notable of those to go their own way rather than following Husserl’s was Heidegger of course, who, beginning with 1927’s publication of Being and Time, broke publically with his mentor’s view of philosophy as a rigorous science, abandoning phenomenology as a science of trancendental consciousness for fundamental ontology’s Seinsfrage.
Expansive and sometimes rather convoluted, the details of this acriminous yet vibrant phenomenological milieu’s institutional reception (first across Europe then on to the Anglophone world and beyond) is far too complex to summarize here fully. Entire books have been written on such matters. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that there has for many decades existed a tendency on the part of commentators to reinforce the feud between Husserl and Heidegger. Rather than looking for any deep common ground between their philosophies, focus instead has been payed to highlighting the differences thought to separate them. This is particularly true in the North American context. For instance, when Hubert Dreyfus upon developing his criticisms of Artificial Intelligence at MIT brought Heidegger’s philosophy to students at Berkeley (William Blattner, Taylor Carman, John Haugeland, Sean Kelly, Iain Thomson, and Mark Wrathall among them), his presentation of phenomenology, which became a commonplace in many publishing circles, relegated Husserl to a piñata for Heidegger. From the 1970s on, Dreyfus’s reading dominated considerable portions of the Anglophone phenomenology world as orthodoxy. The picture it presented was tidy. Husserl was the antiquated cartesian who had underestimated the importance of matters like embodiment and intersubjectivity, while Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, representatives of a so-called “existential phenomenology,” were pioneers whose innovative emphasis on being-in-the-world freed phenomenology from the history of philosophy’s misleading assumptions. In the rush to accentuate what it believed makes Heidegger’s philosophy captivating, Husserl unfairly became something of a footnote to the story, a sort of hors d’oeuvre before the main philosophical dish.
A notable exception to this trend is Dan Zahavi, whose work has done bright things to vindicate the continued importance of Husserl’s legacy. But perhaps the one who above all is responsible for snatching Husserl from the jaws of misunderstanding is Steven G. Crowell, who, in books as Husserl, Heidegger, and the Space of Meaning: Paths towards Transcendental Phenomenology (Northwestern: 2001) and Normativity and Phenomenology in Husserl and Heidegger (Cambridge: 2013) as well as in numerous essays has developed an iconoclastic and sophisticated account of the relation between Husserl and Heidegger. Crowell’s position is one which maintains, against Dreyfus and much of the received wisdom in Anglophone Heidegger studies, that in fact Husserl and Heidegger are collaborators in the shared undertaking of what Crowell himself characterizes as transcendental phenomenology’s distinctive project: namely, its preoccupation with the normative structure of intentional meaning (Sinn). Thus, at stake in the collection of essays contained in Normativity, Meaning, and the Promise of Phenomenology is the very status of phenomenological philosophy as Crowell proposes it be understood, as a transcendental “clarification of meaning” (Crowell, 336). Naturally, continual reference throughout is made to the interface between Husserl and Heidegger, but not, note well, for the purposes of mere exegesis, but instead as a wellspring of inspiration for a philosophical legacy whose unique approach to phenomenology is animating the continued work of thinkers carrying on its tradition. Many of the essays are accordingly not the typical kind of banal laudatory pieces one is accustomed to finding in a Festschrift. For, in paying homage to Crowell’s vision of transcendental phenomenology, they aim to return to the “things themselves,” precisely as Crowell himself has for many years urged others to do. In short, this is an excellent volume whose aim is not so much to read Husserl and Heidegger, but to think with, and, where necessary, against them.
This transcendental approach—or, a “critique of meaning”—is exemplified in Crowell’s own contribution to the volume. In an “Afterword” that closes the discussion by answering the essays preceding it, Crowell begins his response by noting how the grand language Husserl himself frequently employed when trying to convey the discovery of transcendental phenomenology’s significance may lead to some puzzlement. As Crowell recognizes, Husserl’s personal enthusiasm at first could seem a touch overstated.
With his turn to transcendental phenomenology, Husserl increasingly spoke of his work in the most exalted terms. He was Moses taking the first tentative steps toward the “promised land” whose riches he would not exhaust had he the years allotted Methuselah (Husserl 1989, 429); he was the explorer of “the trackless wilderness of a new continent” (1989, 422) where “no meaningful question” is left “unanswered” (Husserl 1970a, 168); he was Saul on the way to Damascus, the discovery of phenomenology affecting him like a “religious conversion” (Husserl 1970a, 137); he was the redeemer of “the secret yearning of all modern philosophy” (Husserl 1983, 142). What could motivate such language? (Crowell, 329).
According to Crowell, Husserl’s exuberance becomes understandable when the latter’s fundamental philosophical insight is appreciated properly. Husserl’s phenomenological breakthrough, says Crowell, lies not so much in the thesis that “intentionality is the mark of the mental” (as Franz Brentano had noted already), but rather in its distinctive concern with (to borrow the Heideggerian phrase) a kind of “ontological difference”: philosophy is seen to thematize not entities, but meaning. Further, the focus is not just on meaning but specifically the fact that such meaning is normative: “Phenomenology’s promise land, meaning, has a normative structure” (Crowell, 330). Hence, for Crowell, modern philosophy’s transcendental turn (as represented by Husserlian phenomenology) is at once a “normative turn” (MacAvoy, 29). It is in this context that the phenomenological reduction should be understood.
“[T]his method,” says Crowell, “requires askesis, suspending worldly commitments. I ‘put out of action the general positing which belongs to the essence of the natural attitude’ and ‘make no use’ of any science that depends on it (Husserl 1983, 61) so as to thematize the inconspicuous phenomenon of meaning, where the world and everything in it is available to us as it in truth is. This askesis characterizes all phenomenological philosophy” (Crowell, 329).
With this “reduction” to meaning, a new field of inquiry opens, one Husserl in works like Cartesian Meditations characterizes as “an infinite realm of being of a new kind, as the sphere of a new kind of experience: transcendental experience” (Husserl 1973, 66). And as Crowell contends, it is this reduction to meaning that unifies those thinkers belonging to the tradition of transcendental phenomenology. Moreover, it is the normative approach’s distinctive clarification of meaning that holds out the promise for re-establishing today the kind of research program Husserl had sought for his own. An approach calling for collaborative effort, not only does it promote the open exchange of ideas through critical argument, it does so while always remaining oriented by a methodological commitment to phenomenological Evidenz, the distinctive warrant of what shows itself intuitively in first-person self-givenness.
Husserl insists that phenomenology is not a “system” deriving from the head of a single “genius” (Husserl 1965, 75), but a communal practice, a “research program” in the loose sense that analytic philosophy might be considered one. What unites this program—including Heidegger, Sartre, Beauvoir, Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, and even Derrida—is a “reduction” from our ordinary concern with entities, beings, the “world,” to the meaning at issue in such concern. Of course, these and other practitioners interrogate both the reduction and the meaning it brings into view, and so we who take up the promise of phenomenology must assess, by our own lights, the legitimacy of such “heresies,” revisions, and revolutions. And while criticism of arguments is always in place, assessing the legitimacy of phenomenological claims finally requires Evidenz, what one can warrant for oneself in the intuitive self-givenness of the “things themselves.” As a kind of empiricism, phenomenology embraces the responsibility of first-person experience (Crowell, 330-31).
However, if transcendental phenomenology’s concern is meaning, and such meaning in turn concerns the normative, what is a norm? As Crowell recounts, a form of that question has long vexed philosophy’s effort to comprehend the realm of “ideality”: it led Plato to his theory of Forms, just as it later motivated nineteenth-century thinkers including Emil Lask and Hermann Lotze to their respective accounts of Geltung (validity), of a “third realm” where the “categories” in question do not exist, but rather “hold” or “obtain.” Accordingly, the basic question concering the ontological status of the ideal (or normative) serves as the volume’s point of departure with Sara Heinämaa’s essay, “Constitutive, Prescriptive, Technical or Ideal? On the Ambiguity of the Term ‘Norm.” In contemporary phenomenology, as Heinämaa says, “the terms ‘norm’ and ‘normative’ are used in several contexts. One dominant argument is that the structure of intentionality is teleological and as such normative” (Heinämaa, 9). Using the examples of being a teacher or a soldier, Heinämaa highlights a difference between two norms. Following a distinction originating in Max Scheler, she notes how there is Tunsollen (“normative ought”), which “implies the concept of rule-following” (Heinämaa, 20) exhibited in customs or social habits. On the other hand, there is Seinsollen (“ideal ought”), a kind of “ideal principle” supplying a constitutive norm involving a “striving for something” (Ibid.) Ideal principles, as Heinämaa observes, “have a constitutive and enabling character: they are not motivational causes for our actions but are conditions that define ways of being” (Ibid.). Crowell further underscores this distinction when, in his reply, he observes that the ideal principles Heinämaa mentions are equivalent to what he means by the term “practical identity” or what Heidegger called a “for-the-sake-of-which” or “ability-to-be” (Seinkönnen); the norm at issue involves a way of understanding oneself, a standard of success or failure exemplified in a felt sensitivity to what is best (or good) given what one is trying to be. Whether we consider being a teacher or a solider, the general point, says Crowell, is that “knowing is something we do in a way possible only for a being who can be guided by a Seinsollen or ideal norm, a ‘minded’ being” (Crowell, 334). Drawing a point that later will become important in the context of Crowell’s understanding of transcendental phenomenology’s relation to metaphysics, he states how, as our knowledge of such ideals is always existential, so it therefore is unsettled and fundamentally unspecifiable. That is just what it means for them to be at issue or at stake in Heidegger’s sense: “Because the ideal that guides what I am trying to be cannot be grounded in truth (fulfillment through Evidenz), it cannot be the topic of a purely theoretical discipline” (Crowell, 333). In doing whatever it is in terms of what one in turn is striving to be, the very ideal of the practical identity itself is at stake, insofar as one’s doing what one does is to work out its meaning, of what it means to live up to it (or not). This is what makes the ideal a measure, and, in the relevant sense, accordingly normative.
Leslie MacAvoy’s essay “The Space of Meaning, Phenomenology, and the Normative Turn,” further clarifies Crowell’s position regarding the normative before going on to criticize the claim that such normativity is imperative to the constitution of meaning. Explaining how the normative turn situates the topic of meaning and validity in relation to the practical norms “for what one ought to do or be” (MacAvoy, 29), she recounts how such an approach thereby characterizes the space of meaning’s purported normativity “in terms of the experience of obligation or binding force” (Ibid.). This normative claim said to underpin meaning, as Crowell has explained elsewhere, amounts to the existential or ontological commitment explaining intentionality and reason: in acting as I do, I always already am implicitly responsible for taking over those “factic grounds” as my reasons. According to MacAvoy, however, phenomenology’s concern with meaning does not entail that such normativity truly plays the role in the formation of meaning that Crowell has argued it does: “While there is a normativity to meaning, it does not consist in the understanding of normativity that has to do with a binding force or claim” (Ibid.). In effect, MacAvoy claims that the phenomenological thesis about the logical, categorial “space of meaning” does not extend to the domain of normativity, as Crowell understands that domain. The binding force of the “ought” does not “capture the normativity of meaning” (MacAvoy, 33). In summarizing the three aspects of Crowell’s characterization of the normative, MacAvoy notes how, for the former, “the norms for whether something can be something are established relative to the norms for doing something” (MacAvoy, 35). By now this will sound familiar. For as Heinämaa had made clear earlier, the very skills and practices in terms of which a thing shows up as what it is are themselves grounded in a practical identity (an “ideal principle”) itself said to be assessible in terms of success or failure. Hence, as MacAvoy says, on the view Crowell defends and which Heinämaa summarizes, the space of meaning bottoms out “in a norm for being a certain type of agent” (Ibid.). This raises the question of the practical identity’s validity, of how such an ideal can be binding, that is to say, of how it can exert a “normative force.” Her main objection is that Crowell’s answer to that question reintroduces the specter of psychologism. Just as psychologism in logic distorts the validity of logic’s content, so interpreting the space of meaning as normative does too, she says. In summarizing MacAvoy’s objection to his position, Crowell writes, “If the normative turn means that phenomenology is a normative discipline, it cannot be fundamental since, on Husserl’s view, all normative disciplines presuppose a theoretical discipline that rationally grounds their prescriptions” (Crowell, 331). If transcendental phenomenology is to be a rigorous science as Husserl envisioned, this appears to entail that it cannot take the normative turn Crowell implies it should, since if it did, so the argument continues, to do so would be to undermine phenomenology’s very claim to theoretical fundamentality to which Husserl took it to be entitled. Before unpacking Crowell’s answer to this concern, it is necessary to further explicate the charge.
To do so, we turn to the question of logic. For if MacAvoy is skeptical as to whether meaning’s categorality is best understood in terms of the bindingness characterizing the existential commitment of practical identity, Walter Hopp’s later essay “Normativity and Knowledge” likewise questions whether the theoretic domain of ideal truth and its connection to knowledge can be understood normatively. Husserl’s phenomenological approach certainly agrees with neo-Kantianism that logical laws cannot be understood empirically, as if they are mere descriptions of how our minds happen to think. The laws of logic are necessary, and hence they are irreducible to descriptive generalizations. And yet at the same time, as Hopp says, for Husserl the laws of logic are not primarily prescriptive judgments regarding how we ought to think, but instead objective in their ideal content and therefore theoretical. Owing to their objective validity, logical laws do have regulative implications for how we ought to think. But that is not their essence. Validity is not the same as normativity.
These disputes concerning the connection between normativity and meaning implicate a more general one that will recur throughout the volume: namely, concern over the relation between transcendental phenomenology and metaphysics. Taking up this metaphilosophical question in “Mind, Meaning, and Metaphysics: Another Look,” Dan Zahavi asks, “Did [Husserl’s] turn to transcendental philosophy, did his endorsement of transcendental idealism, entail some kind of metaphysical commitment, as was certainly believed by his realist adversaries, or did Husserl’s employment of the epoché and phenomenological reduction on the contrary entail a suspension of metaphysical commitments?” (Zahavi, 47). In Zahavi’s estimation, Husserl’s transcendental turn does not entail the mode of metaphysical neutrality that Crowell contends. As Zahavi concedes, this admittedly is not the dominant view:
“Many interpreters have taken Husserl’s methodology, his employment of the epoché and the reduction, to involve an abstention of positings, a bracketing of questions related to existence and being, and have for that very reason also denied that phenomenology has metaphysical implications” (Zahavi, 51).
Call this widespread reading the “quietist” one. Popular though it is, Zahavi claims that it cannot be correct. Were it true, he suggests, we would be unable to explain why, for instance, Husserl rejected the Kantian Ding an sich and phenomenalism, and why he would obviously have rejected contemporary eliminativism about experience. Even more basically, Zahavi finds the quietist interpretation of Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology as “[running] counter to Husserl’s ambitions” (Zahavi, 50): transcendental phenomenology, says Husserl, as Zahavi notes, is such that there is “no conceivable problem of being at all, that could not be arrived at by transcendental phenomenology at some point along its way” (Ibid.). If transcendental phenomenology’s reduction to meaning involves the kind of radical askesis Crowell maintains, how could Husserl have seen it as being equal to the task of answering every philosophical question we might have? In support of his thesis, Zahavi produces a striking passage from the Cartesian Meditations: “Finally, lest any misunderstanding arise, I would point out that, as already stated, phenomenology indeed excludes every naïve metaphysics that operates with absurd things in themselves, but does not exclude metaphysics as such” (Ibid.) Now as Zahavi acknowledges, passages as these are decisive only to the extent that we clarify the term “metaphysics,” which notoriously is ambiguous. He proposes at least three senses it can mean in Husserl: first, a theoretical investigation of fundamental reality (Zahavi, 51); second, philosophical engagement with questions as “facticity, birth, death, fate, immortality, and the existence of God” (Zahavi, 52); third, reflection on the status of “being and reality” (Ibid.). But here, the crucial caveat Crowell rightly mentions in reply must be noted: although Husserl claims that so-called metaphysical questions retain their sense, that is so only “insofar as they have possible sense in the first place” (Zahavi, 51). Accordingly, then, the task becomes one of determining the limits of sense, of what is open to phenomenological Evidenz, and what is not.
If Crowell on one front must defend his conception of radical askesis from the charge that it neglects the metaphysical implications of phenomenology, he must also on the other face challenges from a series of articles by Mark Okrent, Glenda Satne and Bernado Ainbinder, and Joseph Rouse, which, taken together, aim to undermine the transcendental thesis that meaning and normativity are irreducible to nature. As for Okrent, he levels two objections, the first of which, amounting to a reformulated version of the infamous “decisionist objection” to Heidegger’s conception of Angst, Crowell dispatches quickly. As for the second, it contends that there is no way of truly understanding the human mode of being-oneself as a normative achievement whose form is different from “our animal cousins” (Okrent, 173). But as Crowell responds, even if one grants that animals do in some relevant sense act in accord with norms, they do not act in light of them—not only do they lack language so as to be answerable to others for their actions as we are for ours, they also are unable to measure themselves in a non-representational way that is responsive to an intelligible sense of what is best. Even in the simplest forms of perception, the domain of sens sauvage Charles Siewert calls “recognitional appearance,” there is an element of normativity at work marking the experience as distinctively human. In seeing as we do, experience as Siewert notes is “as much in the service of imagination as of judgment, and integral to the activity of looking, which is subject to norms of its own” (Siewert, 290). That this distinctively human richness to experience is lacking in other creatures is evident in that, just as they do not dwell in a “world” wherein things are inflected by the claim of a “good beyond being” (a claim concerning how things ought to be), so they only inhabit an “environment,” a surrounding in which beings are what they are, and nothing more. Satne’s and Ainbinder’s proposal—to “put agents back into nature”—which in turn aims to rehabilitate a “relaxed naturalism,” accordingly takes issue with this conclusion. Contrary to Crowell’s transcendental approach, the aim is to ground normativity in the contingent features of life “shared with other animals.” Joseph Rouse’s essay which contends for a “radical naturalism” joins the cause, seeking to explain our normative capacities in terms of our biology. In defending what he sees as a methodological gap between transcendental phenomenology and empirical science, Crowell reverts to a powerful strategy: according to him, these kinds of attempts to naturalize meaning and normativity require a construction—in this case, “life” —that “transcends the kind of Evidenz to which transcendental phenomenology is committed” (Crowell, 347). Further, because such accounts make use of empirical beings, they are “ontic” and therefore metaphysical in precisely the sense Crowell’s notion of reductive askesis forbids.
Presuming Crowell is correct that transcendental phenomenology establishes why nature cannot explain normativity and thereby fails to ground meaning, what then is the source of normativity? In reply, here one might to choose follow Husserl’s path as John Drummond does, maintaining that intentionality as such (and hence normativity along with it) is governed by a rational telos. As he says, “Husserl believed that in all three rational domains—the theoretical, the axiological, and the practical—the aim of experiential life is the same: to live a life of intuitive evidence, to live the life of a truthful, rational agent” (Drummond, 110). Just as intentionality is structured by the norm of intuitive fulfilment, so we are beings whose form of life involves a kind of rational self-responsibility that remains inexplicable on naturalistic terms. Drummond’s essay concludes by stressing what he takes to be a great merit of his account’s view of self-responsible convictions, namely its easy ability to also account for moral—or ethical—normativity. The issue of practical normativity with which Drummond’s contribution ends is taken up through the lens of Levinas’s relation to Kant in the volume’s next essay, Inga Römer’s “The Sources of Practical Normativity Reconsidered—With Kant and Levinas.” Contrary to what a reading limited only to Levinas’s early thinking may suggest, Levinas finds Kant’s philosophy of practical reason congenial to his own mission of exploring the ethical implications of a good beyond being. As Römer comments, Kant’s notion of disinclination can be seen as a relative to what Levinas himself characterizes as the an-archic and rational desire for the infinite. To see the two’s similarities, however, is not to deny their important differences. Römer lists three, the most significant perhaps of which is that, while it is not entirely misleading to name Levinas’s thinking “a philosophy of heteronomy,” there is a sense in which the self becomes truly autonomous due to “the signifying call of the Other” (Römer, 123). After further unpacking the Kantian position through an analysis of Christine Korsgaard’s notion of practical normativity, Römer then recounts Crowell’s Heideggerian criticism of it, finally to formulate an objection against Crowell’s view of reason-giving as constitutive of the second-personal ethical stance. The concern is that a trace of egoism still remains: “Even if I am required to give an account of my reasons to others, does such an account not tend toward a certain ethical self-conceit? If I am the ultimate source of measure, even if I need to defend this measure with respect to others in order to not contradict myself by taking my reasons to be private ones, does this view not place the self at the center of ethics?” (Römer, 131). Concern that the Heideggerian approach to practical normativity cannot eliminate all residue of self-conceit is well-founded. But while Römer takes Levinas’s own approach to avoid such a pitfall, one may wonder whether it does. When she remarks, for example, that in Levinas’s view there is “no God beyond ethical significance that would be the source of ethical normativity” (Römer, 126), does not the threat of self-conceit arise once again? Even if the asymmetry said to define one’s encounter with the other suffices to annihilate a kind of egoism, does it purge the least trace of it? For the total annihilation of self-love Levinas claims to be seeking, one might argue that only an encounter before God is truly sufficient.
Returning to the question of meaning’s source left hanging in the debate between Drummond and Crowell, Irene McMullin for her own part leans towards a view closer to the latter’s own, preferring a Heideggerian approach in which both meaning and the normative are said to be ungrounded—ultimately, says McMullin, there is no forthcoming answer as to how we find ourselves immersed in a meaningful world. We simply do, and that we find ourselves so situated is a reason for gratitude. Thus, as she says, although “resolute Dasein” experiences the “dizzying, disorienting sense of panicked terror” (McMullin, 149) accompanying the felt realization of meaning’s groundlessness, that realization is followed by another, the “incredible sense of relief and gratitude”(Ibid.) that there is any meaning at all, however ungrounded and contingent it is. This gratitude in turn resolves us to “love better, to strive more fully, to treat the goods in our lives more tenderly” (McMullin, 150). If McMullin’s analysis of the role of receptivity in resoluteness is a welcome corrective to the tendency to see authenticity in overly heroic or active terms, Joseph K. Schear’s essay, “Moods as Active,” does well to correct for an error arising from the opposing tendency of viewing moods as purely passive. Not only are moods an expression of agency, says Schear, they are structured normatively insofar as they are responsive to intelligible interrogation (by others and ourselves). As he notes, it is far from committing a category mistake for someone to ask of us why we are feeling as we are. Interrogating a mood is fair game. While we cannot choose our moods as we choose to make up our minds about what to believe, neither are moods always experiences in which we are just passive. Against a consensus that sees moods as “closer to sensations than judgments” (Schear, 220), he notes that moods do not arrive like “a hurricane, or the fog” (Ibid.). They are episodes in which we may intervene. A mood is an item we can manage, whether by trying to escape it through replacing it with another one, distracting ourselves from it, or by conspiring with it so as to feed and prolong it. However, ultimately the kind of agency interesting Schear is not the preceding kind of “agency over our moods” (Schear, 221), but the expression of agency in it. This second sense of agency is present in moods, he argues, precisely to the extent that we are able to answer intelligibly to the mood-question: “Why are you anxious?” or “Why are you joyful?” Such answerability, so he concludes, is due to being in a mood’s involving one’s living it out as a “responsive orientation to one’s situation.” In a contribution complementing Schear’s well, Matthew Burch in “Against our Better Judgment” explores the phenomenon of akrasia. There is much to be said for this very rich and thoughtful selection, but perhaps most noteworthy is its phenomenological clarification of the notion of “interest,” a middle category between brute desire and explicit judgment or commitment. Interests, hence, are meaningful affections, “things we care about” and things “in which we have a stake” (Burch, 233). Though Burch goes on to develop the notion of interest into a wider account of how a Heideggerian conception of authenticity answers to how norms bind us, with an eye toward concluding the review, here I should like to take Burch’s discussion in a slightly different direction: what is our interest in doing phenomenology? What exactly calls us to it, and what guides and sustains its commitment?
To answer these questions is to return to Crowell’s understanding of phenomenological philosophy’s role in the task of clarifying meaning—here, specifically the task becomes making sense of the very one who philosophizes in the way its normative turn proscribes. As has become clear in assessing Crowell’s response to his critics, the notion of askesis is the cornerstone to his approach. According to him, the reduction to meaning entails that transcendental phenomenology neither demands (Heidegger) nor entails (Husserl) a metaphysics to complete itself. Thus, his own position parts ways with both Husserl and Heidegger. As he observes in his concluding essay, as the question of transcendental phenomenology’s relation to metaphysics “constitutes the horizon of transcendental phenomenology, so I will conclude by considering it under three closely related headings: naturalism, metaphysics, and theology” (Crowell, 345).
Taking the measure of things (we ourselves above all not excepted) in its distinctive fashion, Crowell’s notion of transcendental phenomenology is a philosophy of enigma. What can be intuited in the light of Evidenz is clear and distinct, while anything beyond is consigned to antinomy. The situation accordingly comes to one of deciding how to understand where transcendental phenomenology draws the limits of intuitable meaning. Where precisely does the threshold lie? And what about the meaning, if any, lying beyond the threshold separating what is given in genuine first-person evidence from what is not? Is such meaning to be set to the side, or must not it somehow be integrated into the existence of the one who encounters it? If it must be integrated, how is that task of existential incorporation to be coordinated in terms of the norm of reductive askesis which, qua phenomenologist, entails bracketing such meaning? There looms, so it would seem, a fissure in the being of the one thinking phenomenologically. To begin with, as just noted, there is the difficulty of deciding what does (and thus does not) lie within the bounds of intelligibility. To decide with Crowell that we ought to refrain from taking a phenomenological stand on anything beyond the intuitable is a mark of intellecutal humility, to be sure. Nobody should deny that it is advisable to suspend judgment when things are sufficiently ambiguous. Yet such a suggestion remains formalistic; it cannot resolve how we are to apply it. How, then, are we to determine when not making a commitment in the face of the meaning at issue is truly the humble and rationally reponsible thing to do? To be confident in a given situation that we are doing what humility dictates implies that we are entitled in judging that what before us seems less than self-evident is in fact as obscure as it appears. How, however, are we to know that we are correct, that we are justified in that stance?
It is not an uncommon experience in life to come to learn that something we initially thought was unclear actually was not; the unclarity resided in our vision and not the thing. It is was not that the thing was veiled, just that we were failing to see. Hence, while it is good to be duly skeptical of claims that make genuiniely ungrounded claims of metaphysical speculative excess (“Everything is illusion, for we are in a quantum simulation!”), we should be mindful that determining when that is so can itself be fraught; something could in principle be grounded in evidence even if, or when, it does not yet seem so to us. Anyone who is honest will admit that there are reasons for thinking that the judgments we reach based on what we believe is humility can turn out instead to have been motivated by a subtle pride or stubborness. It is important to note, for instance, that this strand of epistemic humility is for all its virtues only partial; it essentially is an intellectual askesis. Or more exactly, insofar as it is it supposed to be an effort of epistemic self-discipline, it begins to undermine its own spirit of modesty the moment it slips into more than that by coming to resemble more so a general posture toward the whole of existence. When that happens, one important norm governing our trafficking in meaning is elevated to something instead approaching an absolute. And it is not difficult to see how, in doing so, it can propel the one who treats it in that way along his own path of error and blindness. This becomes more apparent when we consider another of humility’s aspects: namely, humility’s willingness to yield to things by accepting something for what it is, thereby submitting to the disclosed. Crowell’s reductive askesis, along with its norm of epistemic humility, arguably threatens to imperil an authentic encounter with meaning so interesting it if absolutized to trump all else. A commitment to the norm of truth-seeking, for example, may at times require passing beyond what presently appears to be grounded in evidence. Life presents us with these situations constantly. We resolve the indeterminateness by commiting to a course of judgment or action despite the ambiguity. Just as the meaning of some situations becomes clear only in retrospect years later or in an unanticipated flash of insight, so some truths become evident after a period in which they had not been. To refuse to commit to taking a stand on something that remains less than intuitively clear means what might have crystalized never will. If, then, humility is not synthesized with other considerations (including trust, hope, patience, wisdom, or courage), it threatens to constrict rather than expand meaning.
Insofar as the reductive askesis of Crowell’s position ends with enigma, it has been my suggestion that such enigma potentially implicates more than what that methodological stance admits. Meaning by its nature implicates our having to take a stand on what lies on the margins of intentionality, what at any moment makes itself felt as an unspecifiable more. To ignore this surplus of sense in the name of a humility that does not take a stand on what it sees as undecidable is to neglect precisely what puts our existence at stake and at risk in the first place. The respective imperatives of the transcendental (epistemic askesis) and the ontological (existential commitment) appear to be tugging in opposite directions. As a philosophy of meaning, transcendental philosophy can attempt to delimit the things whose meaning we are said to be justified in taking a stand on philosophically. In refusing to take a stand on what it considers the metaphysical, however, this gesture of refusal only implicates the omnipresence of that something more—that excess—with which we all must grapple existentially. Thus, while we may have reached the limits of what a certain mode of intuitive thought can decrypt, it does not follow that it has thereby established the bounds of the meaningful as such. Could not more remain to be given?
Here a detail concerning the earlier debate between Zahavi and Crowell over transcendental phenomenology’s relation to metaphysics will be recalled. Zahavi mentions that, taken in its second sense, metaphysics for Husserl deals with matters of birth, death, fate, immortality, and the existence of God. Do these metaphysical questions have a possible sense? What is their relation to transcendental phenomenology, as Crowell understands it? For his own part, Crowell states that while a “phenomenology of faith” is possible, it does not disrupt any of the essential metholodological commitments of transcendental phenomenology. For Crowell, that means rejecting a traditional commonplace according to which revelation is said to complete what reason cannot. Whatever room it leaves for faith, it must not interfere with the autonomy of a presuppositionless phenomenological reason.
This expulsion of faith from the project of transcendental phenomenology is, in a way, simply a specific application of the general reduction from entities to meaning. As Crowell says, “Transcendental phenomenology is not concerned with entities at all” (Crowell, 337). But if transcendental phenomenology is not concerned with entities, what about the entities that we ourselves are? How does the normative turn handle la question du sujet? Because such an approach seemingly comes up lacking, it calls for another inquiry to accomplish what it cannot. Transcendental phenomenology, after all, can trace the general contours of existence, telling us that we should live a self-responsible existence in light of the rational norm of evidence. It can clarify what it most generally means to be in the space of meaning. But it cannot decide where the limits between sense and nonsense lie in a given case, nor what precisely living up to the norm of evidence entails in any or every particular instance. We can reflect on the general normative structures of existence and how those structures make an encounter with entities possible, yet ultimately life still must be lived. For Crowell, perhaps much of what we take at a first-order level to be meaningful is not. Or at least the meaning in question falls short of Evidenz, in the transcendental sense. The things we take ourselves to know, on closer inspection, really are a matter of antinomy. This would be true for the theological, for in giving a name to what it takes to have addressed it, it does so without sufficient evidence. As Martin Kavka says in characterizing banal theologizing, “This argument entails the claim that the problem with any and all theologization of phenomenology is that theology determines” (Kavka, 92). Or as Crowell puts it, by trying to give a name to the anonymous claim that has addressed it, such a response crosses into antinomy.
Antinomy is also the figure which best describes the third horizon of transcendental phenomenology, the “theological turn,” in which phenomenology abandons reductive askesis to posit a prior condition of correlation, variously called “event,” Erscheinung als solches, “givenness,” “phenomenality,” or “revelation” (Crowell, 349).
Where, then, does this leave man’s search for meaning, and the question of his destiny? Concluding with a provocative but basic question does well to underscore the exigency of the methodological situation’s existential import. What, in short, are we to make phenomenologically of the claim that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? Does the claim fall within phenomenology’s remit? Outside it? Is it essential to phenomenology’s venerable aim of putting oneself in question, or orthogonal to that attempt? Is to affirm such a claim consistent (or not) with the promise of meaning, as Crowell understands that promise? One must make the decision to leap—or not. Either way, a decision is made. Seen strictly from the perspective of a transcendental critique of meaning, what faith claims to see—namely, that because Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, he is the absolute measure by which our own individual existences are to be measured—probably will be viewed as an affirmation having succumbed to “metaphysical” tempation. It views faith as epistemic folly. But assuming this is what a transcendental phenomenology’s critique of meaning entails, why not then see it as a reductio of that position?
To succeed in its aim of clarifying meaning, cannot it be suggested that transcendental phenomenology must be understood not as deeming what faith sees as inscrutable, but rather as itself calling for it? To rest content with phenomenological askesis is to leave ourselves in a state of unnecessary indeterminateness. As it does not countenance the mysteries of God, so for it the enigmas of human existence find no solution. It is thus left to face a potential incoherence of its own approach. The latent incoherence is manifest methodologically insofar as it fails to make intelligble what could be made so were it to complement its vision with what its own commitment to the imperative of self-givenness implicates. By not doing so, it ends in a failure of sense-making. For this reason, arguably it can be considered a failure relative to its own internal aim of trying to clarify meaning. The lack of success is most evident when seeing its inability to make adequate sense of ourselves.
We are finite creatures, and so meaning is finite. We can grasp the world as it is, though never as a whole; and if there is anything beyond that, it is a matter of faith, not philosophy. A phenomenology of faith is certainly possible, but transcendental phenomenology cannot be said to be exceeded by something that escapes it and yet grounds it, such that a “theological”—or “naturalistic” or “speculative” or “metaphysical”—turn is required. One who nevertheless wishes to make such a turn must show why it does not end in antinomy, the “euthanasia of pure reason” (Kant 1998, 460). Take your pick: deus sive natura; mereological universalism or nihilism; “neutral monism”; panpsychism; flesh, life, desire. In the face of antinomy, the askesis of transcendental phenomenology is not egoism but modesty, not a “theory of everything” but a clarification of what matters. Its claim on our “ultimate philosophical self-responsibility” (Husserl) is irrevocable if we are committed to having evidence for what we say. Just this defines the normative turn from entities to meaning, the promised land, “the secret yearning of all modern philosophy” (Crowell, 352).
By addressing the “question of the subject” in a way that entails no answer is ever forthcoming, reductive askesis renders the need for putting ourselves into question otiose, even futile. The misunderstanding at work in its approach to the entities that we ourselves are is seen precisely in its failing to live up to its own impulse to truly make sense of our existence. Here, in short, would be a philosophy concerned with explicating the meaning of things while simultaneously failing to ground its own existence in any firm meaning. If, in fact, there ultimately was no true meaning to existence because there were no answers to life’s ultimate questions, why then should a philosophy about meaning try to make sense of that meaning? To be sure, doing so could still serve as an idle pursuit perhaps, as a way for those so inclined to pass the time. But philosophy must be more than intellectual tiddlywinks. For were it not more than that, what reasons do others have for caring about what such a philosophy says? Philosophy would not just lose its exigency, but its universality too. In the last analysis, any philosophy of meaning stifling the yearning for the absolute does so on pain of compromising the coherence of its express aim. In restless pursuit of a meaning it cannot find, its is a critique of meaning that renders human existence as if it ultimately had none. Reaching only a mirage of the true promised land, as with Dathan it dies in the wilderness.

With Crowell, MacAvoy notes, first, the distinction originating in Husserl’s Phenomenology as Rigorous Science between the empirical and transcendental (that is, between the natural and normative); transcendental consciousness, MacAvoy explains, is governed by a lawfulness other than the causality of the psychical and physical. Second, and relatedly, the intentional experience of an object involves a command over its “implications,” the inner and outer horizons of sense in terms of which the object itself can be taken as what it is, the paradigmatic example being the perceptual object, since, say, in perceiving a cube, I must “co-intend” its sides that are not directly seen but are nevertheless implicated. Perceptual intentionality accordingly has a “motivational” logic: If I were to move here, then the cube’s other sides should come into view.
In this way, Hopp’s essay follows in the footsteps of his mentor, the late Dallas Willard, whose early works on Husserl’s view of logic, ideality, and the possibility of knowledge remain exemplary. See, for example, Logic and the Objectivity of Knowledge: A Study in Husserl’s Philosophy (Ohio University Press, 1984).

Obtaining branded bags is obviously a symbol of highsociety. Brands certainly are some thing rich folks cheap louis vuitton bags from china can frequently be seen picking and wearing. The rates of them are priciest and to all those who fall under the middle class group, unaffordable. The item isn’t a uncertainty of amazing quality if it has a new name attached to it but along with the fantastic quality of the product, the cost is improved a lot just because of the brand name. As soon as a brand establishes its superiority along with other makes regarding quality and fashion subsequently it is quite a standard event for their costs to increase up. The popularity of the name afterward contributes to the price . This usually means that even though the exact grade or almost the same quality of products could be made with a lot of price tag dangling out of the cost tag people are only acquiring these highend brands to the status symbol that they give.
What is the difference between a knock off and also an initial?
Outside of the apparent huge price gap, There May be A few other differences. For example, just another day I watched that a knock off Gucci tote being compared using the original one. Besides the minor difference in caliber, there was difference in the stitch pattern and the liner of this tote. Many high-end brand potential buyers use such subtle gap hints to check they are not getting cheated. These subtle differences permit them to know they aren’t looking for off a knock in the purchase price tag on an original.
Sum up it
For many Individuals, it is Tough to Comprehend why this would Even be considered a big matter. In nations like South Korea as well as different places where the possession of these brands matter so much with these low-cost knock offs have served people to continue on a lifestylethey are able to sustain whilst allowing them to fit in together with the high society conditions. |

Back at home (Boston, MA USA) we call it Cabin Fever in the winter time. The temperatures dip well below freezing and with the chill, few people really want to be walking around outside – especially downtown where the wind comes whipping down the streets and around the corners and cuts into your skin like little knives. When it snows, sure it looks pretty at first, but then it turns to a black slush and the side walks ice over making walking treacherous for everyone. So staying inside is often the best and safest thing to do, but it becomes a bit much.
You start to long for the fresh air, even though it is beyond cold. You want to go for a walk outside to get some exercise – treadmills are sometimes just not enough. Skiing is an option, but I have undergone four knee surgeries from a skiing accident I had some years ago – I really don’t care if I ever ski again. So winters are really not my thing.
I heard that summers in Abu Dhabi are like winters in Boston – you are stuck inside and start going crazy because you want to be outside. It is true. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, gentle breezes go through the date palm trees, but with the humidity the heat index is above 130F (or around 55C). Instead of snow blowing across the roads, sands blows across the roads, and there are people who keep it from building up on the roads and highways. Instead of snow blowers, there are sand blowers, and people shovel sand, not snow…you get the picture, right?
Since there are no cabins here, and villas stand almost everywhere you look – I am going to call it Villa Fever: the sense of being cooped up in one’s villas under extreme air-conditioning watching dates fall from trees, and not being able to go outside due to intense heat.
On Saturday, I was done. Finished with being inside, so I braved the heat, the humidity, and the blazing sun. I went for a 4.5 mile walk in our neighborhood. I should have gone earlier than 9:00 (5:00am would have made more sense) but the effects of being indoors for most of the day every day had settled in. Sure, I got looks from people – mostly the workers who were probably wondering why anyone would willingly be out in the heat. But to sweat, outside, in the fresh air, well it felt amazing (even though I needed to take a nap at 11:30am that day for a few hours…) |
S.M. Harris was born in 1947. Since he was the youngest in his high school graduating class, his parents sent him to Europe to pick up an extra year, where he attended Ecole Des Roches in Switzerland for one year and two years of college at American College of Switzerland. On returning to America, he graduated from Stanford and received his MA from Northwestern.
He spent several years as a property manager, a travel agent and receptionist in an art gallery. In 1985, he saw an ad on a supermarket bulletin board for Bunco Theatre, a Santa Monica based group dedicated to educating senior citizens about crimes perpetrated against the elderly. He volunteered as a helper—to move props, sets, etc. Since actors were scarce, he was drafted into playing the resident perp in all their skits. From there he found himself writing some of the material for the group. This experience piqued his interest in theater and set him on a different course in life.
He took as many classes in playwriting as he could through UCLA Extension and began submitting his class projects to theatres around the country. In 1991 he was invited to Ensemble Studio Theatre in New York to attend their summer conference in the Catskills—this began a journey which led him to move to New York. An Ensemble Studio lab project, Colleen Ireland (about a 90 something retirement home resident and her great-granddaughter), was nominated for Best Play at the Playwrights Forum Festival 2002 in Spokane. Colleen was produced for the first time in Spokane and then by Diverse City Theatre Company in New York, where it received a positive review from The New York Times. Spindrift Way, a follow-up to Colleen, received its world premiere at The Senior Theatre USA Festival in Baltimore in June 2008. There are now twelve Colleen plays in the series.
The Northeast Quarter began as a full length play. It was initiated in the Works in Progress Writers Lab at Manhattan Theatre Club under the direction of Chris Ceraso. When it became apparent that the scope of the story was restricted by the confinements of the proscenium, Harris developed it into his first novel. |
My hair is naturally not quite straight, not quite curly. I let it air dry 99% of the time after applying some moisturizing oil. If I don’t brush it out after drying, and let the curls do their thing, I sometimes get a nice bunch of neat and tidy loose curls, but more often than not, what I get is some lovely toddler curls underneath with a frizzy mess on top. So I usually end up brushing them out into waves with a boar hair paddle brush and applying more moisture oil to keep everything in check. I’ve been growing my hair out, recently, into a sort-of Veronica Lake inspired style. To keep it healthy, I’ve cut back to only two washes a week and I’ve been saving heat styling for special occasions. To get my hair from mind-of-its-own waves to movie-star glamour waves without the damaging heat, I’ve been letting my hair dry in pin curls after most washes. Here’s the rolling pattern I use:
I usually use this same roll pattern with pin-curl clips on damp, lightly moussed hair. Today I’m using hot rollers on second day hair that was simply combed and air dried for the sake of speed (aka tutorial magic).
Step one: brush out hair and part far to the side.
Step two: section hair on side without part from behind your ear to the part. Divide into 2-3 horizontal sections, depending on length and thickness, and roll hair inwards.
Step three: repeat on other side, dividing into 1-2 sections.
Step four: section hair, vertically, into four equal parts, parting down the centre and dividing each half in half again. On side with part, roll hair in 2-3 sections. I like to roll the bottom sections from here-on-out outwards instead of inwards for a bit of a flip at the bottom of my waves.
Step five: roll the back section of this side in 2-3 sections as well.
Step six: repeat on other side, using 3-4 sections for the front section, as you will have more hair gathered on this side, and 2-3 for the back.
Step seven: let hair dry/cool. Remove clips/rollers and give hair a gentle tousle to loosen up some volume at the roots. Brush curls out softly with a boar hair brush, trying to only pass each area once. Set with hair spray, if you like.
This roll pattern also sets a nice foundation for half up, half down throw-back styles like a Zooey Deschanel beehive.

Chris Miller presented Social Identity: Public, Personal & Private at South by Southwest 2014. This session investigates how we expose our social identity, not content, and how to build personas to protect them.

Though they are exceptionally well-designed in pretty much every area, some of the biggest thrills in Insomniac’s Spider-Man games come when you unlock a new suit design. Insomniac put a ton of effort into the designs of both Spider-Man’s legacy suits and the new suit ideas they came up with that often feel right at home in the Spider-Verse. Of course, some are inevitably better than others.
Just note that for the purposes of this list, we will be judging these suits based entirely on looks. Furthermore, these rankings do account for color variants of these suits when applicable.
Spider-Man 2: Best Peter Parker Suits
Peter honestly didn’t get the best suits in Spider-Man 2, but there are a handful of outfits in the game that either offer something truly unique or tap into a timeless look.
5. Into The Spider-Verse Noir Suit
I mean…just look at that thing. The entire Spider Noir line is generally pretty cool, but they really nailed this suit’s almost cartoonishly sleek animation style. It looks fantastic in the shadows it’s clearly meant to operate in, but that rare trip into the light allows you to really appreciate its finer details.
4. Last Hunt Suit
One of Peter’s better original design suits in Spider-Man 2, Last Hunt is an obvious nod to Kraven the Hunter’s iconic look. While I tend to prefer some of the suits that have a little more “pop” to them, this is a pretty great way to integrate the Kraven look into the classic Spider-Man suit design style. Plus, it’s nice to see suits nod to villains that aren’t Venom. More on that later.
3. Spider-Punk Suit
A returning fan favorite, the entire Spider-Punk line is just…great. I’m partial to the denim variant due to its classic Spider-Man colors, but this is one of those suit styles that aims for a streetwear look and doesn’t miss the mark by trying to do way too much. Also, can someone get me a lead on some Spider-Man Converse?
2. Amazing 2 Suit
I’ve always loved The Amazing Spider-Man 2 suit but hated The Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie. As such, it’s great to be able to take this suit for a spin in a worthy Spider-Man adventure. It’s a largely classic design that has enough of that Raimi suit look in it to feel a touch more modern. Andrew Garfield has always deserved better, but his suit was indeed amazing.
1. Classic Black Suit
Some things are classic for a reason. While I do like the Spider-Man 3 variant Venom suit that is also in this game, you have to try pretty hard to beat that traditional Symbiote Spidey look. Also, check out this design’s white variant. That thing would have been a top suit contended all on its own.
Spider-Man 2: Worst Peter Parker Suits
Poor Peter. While I respect that Spider-Man 2‘s team took some big swings with some of Peter’s suits and reached deep into the character’s history for others, it’s fair to say that we ended up with quite a few misses.
5. 25th Century
I want to like this sci-fi suit much more than I do. As it is, it kind of looks like a Starfield suit that I’m desperate to replace. Nothing really goes together, the helmet effect doesn’t quite translate, and the boots feel like they were pulled from the first Google image search for “space shoes.”
4. Iron Spider Armor
I don’t know if I should love or hate the fact that the red variant of this suit is a dead ringer for Turbo Man from Jingle All the Way. Ultimately, I’ll concede that one is worth a laugh and that the rest of these really struggle to work around that incredible bright gold trim and generally bulky nature.
3. Arachknight Suit
“No cape” rules aside, this suit just has way too much going on. The pants feel pulled from an era of regrettable yearbook photos, there’s a militaristic bulkiness to the body that just doesn’t work, and the cowl/cape combo has that “we went to Party City on October 29th, and here is what was left” vibe. Just leave it at home, Pete.
2. Scarlet Spider Suit
This suit is certainly comic-accurate, but at what cost? That torn hoodie makes it look like Spider-Man is wearing a burlap sack because he got sent home from school for having lice. Remove it, and the rest of this suit is just…there.
1. Secret Wars Civil War Suit
Opinions will always vary, but I’m going to need to hear someone defend this suit. The top makes it look like Spider-Man is way too into paintball, and the bottom raises serious questions about Peter’s whereabouts on January 6th. Finally, the Pink variant’s pants look like they cost $700 at Dan Flashes.
Spider-Man 2: Best Miles Morales Suits
Miles was blessed with some truly inspired suit designs in Spider-Man 2. While it’s a shame to whittle that collection down to the top five, these looks really stand out.
5. King in Black Suit
Hitting that “’90s edge nostalgia” mark requires some incredible aim, but I think this suit manages to do just that. I love the concept, and I really love the detail that went into making the web design look like it’s trying to free itself from the rest of the outfit. Carnage indeed.
4. Across the Spider-Verse
All of the Spider-Verse suits are pretty great in one way or another, but I really love this design. It’s simple, the logo is fantastic, and it even produces that awesome film-accurate animation effect when you’re swinging around in it. It’s a testament to the quality of Miles’ suits that this isn’t the easy number one.
3. Best There Is Suit
Insomniac is obviously catering to the fans here (and nodding to their upcoming Wolverine game), but I really do love this suit design. Again, the red and the blue/black look strikes the best balance between Spider-Man and Wolverine, but that blue and yellow retro Wolverine look is just too tough to beat. That Wolverine game can not get here soon enough.
2. City Sounds Suit
Miles’ “Spiders and Dolls” look is an utterly fantastic concept that immediately stands apart from some considerable cosmetic competition. Remarkably, this suit becomes even better when you picture Spider-Man as an old-timey newspaper reporter trying to get that photo of the starlet and the industry tycoon for Ye Olde Daily Bugle. Miles even looks like a proper Boardwalk Empire gangster when he throws punches in this thing.
1. Smoke and Mirrors Suit
This original design really makes me wish we could get a whole line of suits inspired by various Spider-Man villains. It’s kind of hard to tell from photos, but the smoke effect on Spider-Man’s mask looks fantastic, and I really love the purple and green color scheme as well as that “White Ranger” variant. What an incredible idea for a suit.
Spider-Man 2: Worst Miles Morales Suits
There are very few truly bad Miles Morales suit designs in Spider-Man 2, but these certainly stand out from some otherwise excellent options.
5. Evolved Suit
To be fair, I do not hate this suit nearly as much as some people do. Having said that, I do understand where the criticisms are coming from. Miles’ decision to expose his haircut while protecting his identity is certainly a choice, and the whole “tech hoodie” look always sounds better than it looks. If I’m being nice, though, I do like the red, black, and sky blue colors.
4. 10th Anniversary Suit
In the world of Spider-Man, the 10th anniversary is apparently the crappy suit anniversary. I’m as fond of bad ’80s Halloween costumes as anyone, but I’m just not sure that’s the look we want to be going for when fighting crime. Shout-out to the Marty McFly 2016 Nikes, though.
3. Agimat Suit
While a top-tier option for anyone who wants to dress like a CPU, the Agimat Suit leaves much to be desired in every other area. I really have questions about those wrist rings that make it look like Miles is desperately seeking attention by performing bad magic tricks at a kid’s birthday party. The fact that is a premium DLC suit makes it that much worse.
2. Red Spectre Suit
The appropriately named Red Spectre Suit looks like the ghost of several other bad suit designs that joined forces to haunt anyone who dares drag this thing out of the game’s cosmetic collection. That symbol just looks painful to wear, and while I respect that Miles is wearing a mask in NYC (especially as we head into winter), I kindly ask that he stay six feet away for as long as he’s rocking this look.
1. The End
No Miles, I do not want to go to Burning Man with you. No Miles, we shouldn’t go to that underground Meatpacking District club to see Steve Aoki at 4 A.M. Yes Miles, I do know where to get Molly. No Miles, I will not buy you Molly. |

Talk about Pocket Raider here
This is my second GameBoy Advance game done in a little over 50 hours of development. Pocket Raider was inspired by one of my favorite 8-bit era video games; Will Wright's Raid on Bungling Bay (1984). This game has 9+ level maps each 88+ screens in size.
Pocket Raider and Pocket Raider II - 2008 by John A. Reder. Although these games aren't a direct copy of Will's game, They're more of a cousin. I just wanted to pay my respects to Will for his early masterpiece.

Academy Award winning screenwriter Sylvester Stallone once – or, indeed, many times – said that nobody is as tough as their grandpa, because the times were tougher back then. There’s certainly some truth to that, assuming you’re lucky enough to live in the right kind of place. Of course, when Stallone said it he was promoting Rambo, a movie about an elderly Vietnam vet teaching a bunch of idealistic missionaries that only violence can solve the world’s problems.
We’ve seen this a lot in recent years, but it isn’t anything new. Clint Eastwood seems eager to prove over and over again that old people are better at pretending to be tough in movies than young people. Stallone and Schwarzenegger, once the young athletes of the silver screen, have tried to corner the market in tough old man action and even the once-acclaimed acting powerhouse Liam Neeson has become a comical posterchild for the subgenre. Mel Gibson, meanwhile, has attempted to make several comebacks of the same type with little success, while Tom Cruise gets around the issue by never aging. Even Bill Nighy has taken a swing at it!
The message is always the same: when times get tough, you need to call on someone who was forged in tougher times. Remember: no matter how bad things get, you damn kids don’t know hard times. Your grandpappy saw worse shit than the Syrian civil war on the way to church every Sunday morning and he’s not gonna let you forget it. Eastwood’s character in Gran Torino fantasizes openly about shooting black teenagers on the street, but somehow evolves into a non-racist Christ figure by teaching a young migrant lad how to be a real man (apparently it’s all in the way you talk to your barber or something). And, naturally, that’s what this is all about: being a real man. |

How does one go about making the decision to develop oneself, to grow within? This question has as many answers as there are people. No one issue, problem or life situation provides the impetus to proceed. The reasons are as varied as there are people. For instance, one may want to do a little self-improvement, a series of problems may arise, perhaps one experienced a significant event that has been a trigger to grow, or we simply feel driven to it from within. Where we find the intent is irrelevant, having it is all that matters. How do we move forward if we find developing the intent difficult?
One might feel that when serious issues arise one simply goes about fixing it. This presumes one has the intent already, and need not find it. What for those who have difficulty getting themselves started? There is also hope for those in this latter category: plant the seeds for tomorrow. We do this by setting up a thought process similar to this “I will develop the intent, and I will be <fill in the blank>”. This one act does start the development of one’s intent to grow.
Some may argue that such a statement does nothing. I would argue this is simply not so. Over time the thought itself, if continually repeated, will reduce ones internal resistance to it and increase the likelihood of one acting on it. If one can simply firm up the statement as being a truth for them, wear the clothes so to speak, amazing events can occur. This thought alone will enable other aspects of the self to find ways to manifest change. The key is in truly accepting and embracing that you need and want to grow. Even if you are not ready to accept it completely, being open to it is a lessening of resistance. Given sufficient time, this alone will move you closer to it.
Desire to grow alone is rarely enough for most people. Typically, life circumstances triggers the growth process. As examples of this, consider the list below:
Starting with the realization of problems
- You feel a general restlessness in life
- You feel a loss of control in your life
- You feel sad or listless (not related to health)
- Psychological or health problems that persist
- Monetary problems
- Issues between yourself and others escalate (includes anger and other emotional problems)
- Health problems
- Relationship problems or separations
- Lack of fulfillment or “happiness” when we get what “we thought would make us happy”
- Negative Influences or events that are repetitive or cyclic
These examples, often traumatic, should be sufficient to trigger the awareness that one needs to change; surprisingly they are generally not reason enough. Denial, blame and guilt can often keep us from focusing on ourselves as the root of the problem. The true change comes when one begins to realize the factor “I” plays in our experiences. Personal will (and not will power) plays an enormous role in developing the requisite intent and desire. Without them, we likely will not recognize that the issues are ours alone, or have the desire and strength to work on them. With them, we can begin to recognize, rationally, that we as individuals are at the heart of our own problems. We may notice one or more of the following:
- We notice issues have “triggers” that illustrate the problems are not external (only the trigger is).
- Chronic or negative conditions (or feelings) that “do not seem to go away”
- There is escalation or increased frequency of issues without “any apparent cause”
- persistent discomfort or restlessness
Choosing a direction
When we decide to change or realize we need to (and we do this at numerous times in our lives) there is the question of what to do, which direction to take. This is a bigger challenge when we are uncertain of what we should, or would like to be doing. We can become so engrossed in the external aspects of life that we lose our connection to ourselves. As a result, people find it a challenge to hear let alone listen to their inner voice. The challenge grows when what it is “telling us” or “suggesting to us” conflicts with needs and wants that we have already developed in our lives. For example, we would never quit a steady job, or take a cut in pay to do something different because we like (have become accustomed to) our standard of living; or hate taking risks when these may be the very things we need to do to find our own peace.
Looking out into the world, we see many avenues of development. Which one(s) are right for us? This is impossible for me to answer; I would suggest that each of us has to start by looking within ourselves rather than without.
Religious and cultural backgrounds provide the strongest influences as far as direction is concerned. Therefore, the thoughts of our parents and family that made up our early influences do so as well. This is true whether we find ourselves agreeing with them or in opposition to them. They are to a large degree responsible for our current views of the world. Our view most often varies based on how our behaviors, thoughts and so forth correspond to a particular belief structure. Naturally, life modifies our beliefs; nonetheless, they tend to lead us in certain directions.
When we seek help, we tend to choose a method that suits our background and our beliefs. This influences whether we seek help or not and the kind of assistance we look for, be it from psychologists, psychiatrists and counselors (of various types) to self-help groups, services available through ones church or other organization all the way to psychics. We can benefit from any one of these methods. Nor do I recommend abandoning tools that are working. However, this should not stop one from supplementing their efforts, or from seeking other methods when traditional ones are not successful.
Uncertainty does not need to inhibit us in our goals. Nor does what we may perceive to be our own personal lack of will. We can, perhaps recognizing our ineffectiveness, simply choose to focus on what life presents us with on a daily basis- one little bit at a time. Certainly, there are personal issues one can focus on, aspects of the self that one would like to change. Modifying certain behaviors such as rudeness, selfishness or even anger illustrates progress. While such first steps may appear small, insignificant, nothing could be further from the truth. What we are doing is laying a foundation, setting a trend of success that lead us further along our path. We start any journey with a single step. This begs the question: how can such a small change help us?
We talk about our “auras”, how our thoughts, problems and issues reflect in them. Now, imagine living our lives in one or two rooms of a huge mansion without doing any maintenance or cleaning and I am sure you will get the picture. When we start to reduce our issues and order our minds, it has the same effect on the mess we have created. A clearer, unrestrained mind has access to greater untapped resources; it will begin to use them. We find that we have ideas, intuitions and urges we may not have felt before; unexpected opportunities will surface. We can learn to recognize those that are to our benefit, those that will aid us in development.
There is one significant point I would like to make at this time. This point is that often those who begin to step outside of broadly accepted beliefs believe that in order to progress a teacher or mentor is required. Their knowledge can increase our level of comfort and confidence as well as give us new insights; yet inside each of us are the truths for which we search. We do not need a teacher to progress. There are times in our lives when we will walk with those who assist or guide us, and there are times when we go it alone.
We cannot wait for a teacher and make them the necessary piece of the puzzle we need to move forward. If we say, “I will grow when I meet a teacher” we will likely be waiting our whole life. Let your mentor be the world around you, and your life experiences. We all get unexpected help when we need it, even though the form of it often goes unrecognized. Treat every experience and the feelings and thoughts you have as your teacher.
Our desire and intent alone are often sufficient to set up opportunities. We attract influences based on where we are right now. “To each in their time”, the old saying goes. The meaning in this context is that when we tend to get what we can use now. Make it a goal to start to notice them by paying more attention to what your experiences are telling you. Getting to “Knowing Thyself” is truly a path to personal power and harmony.
There is another old saying that has value, that statement is “seek and ye shall find”. The immense value of simply making the decision to search cannot be overstated. This act is a powerful enabler. Use your beliefs as a guide. Follow what feels right, rather than simply what others have said is right. Examine your beliefs critically; notice how they affect your actions, and how the actions re-enforce the beliefs. There are real benefits to understanding more about the mechanisms of your own mind. I hope that we can discover these as we progress.

It has been a great pleasure to attend the recent conference “Education is Relation not Output? – Scenes of Knowledge and Knowledge Acquisition” (May 17th-19th 2016) at Linnaeus University in Växjö, Sweden.
The conference was held in cooperation with the international scientific network Tacit Dimensions of Pedagogy. The conference’s purpose was as follows:
Re-thinking the idea of university and scholarly life means to critically examine the conditions for teaching in terms of the current policy discourses and freely develop an idea of university out of an international perspective. University does not exist simply to convey information or expertise. It is a society in which everyone is responsible for in a reflected way participating in diverse relationships to him-/herself, to others and to the world, and, based on diverse forms of knowledge and representation, actively forming them. In this conference combined with other spaces for discussion a perspective on university as a place for social development will be opened up by academic scholars as well as by professionals in the fields of school as well as of art.
My contribution on “Media and Cultural Education”
My own contribution was a talk and workshop that was held within the panel “Art, Visual Culture and Media“.
In my opening talk, I was aiming for tapping into the idea of shaping a perspective on university as a place for social development from an international perspective beyond simply conveying expertise, but to see the university as responsible in helping people to advance in a direction of reflectively participating in diverse relationships to oneself, others and the world.
Especially since contemporary life is happening in spaces of intense proximity, where the interdependence of the diverse nations and cultures becomes more and more obvious, it is important to empower people to competently navigate those spaces. Hence, I proposed an increased emphasis on and discussion of media and cultural education as a means to social cohesion within the university as a place of public education.
The conference paper of the talk (ca. 10 pages) can be downloaded here (pdf-file). A book publication as a conference outcome is forthcoming. My paper will be found there as an official publication then, too. |

September 5, 1999
U.S. OPEN, Flushing Meadows, New York City
WTA: Questions for Mary Joe.
Q. Can you tell us what happened on the injury, how did it happen, whether it was related to the wetness on the court or not?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: Oh, yeah, definitely related to the rain. Started to sprinkle. Of course, it gets very, very slippery right away. It's very slick. You know, my foot just slid basically.
Q. Do you think they should have stopped the match before that point started?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: Probably.
Q. It was already kind of slick?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: Well, as soon as it starts to drizzle, that's it. The lines get very slippery; the court itself gets very slippery. Sometimes if the court is a little rougher, it takes a little longer for it to get slippery. Not this one. This one, right away, you could feel it.
Q. Did you say anything before the point?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: No. I should have. I didn't.
Q. Were you thinking it?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: I was. When we stopped earlier, it was kind of the same thing. I dragged my foot a little bit on the court, saw that it was kind of slick. I asked. You know, we stopped. But you know, once you get started, you want to keep playing. I thought, "Maybe it's going to stop." It was too slippery.
Q. You had just hit a really good shot, backhand stab volley to force it to deuce. Did you want to keep that momentum?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: Kind of. It's tough coming back out when it's deuce or breakpoint or ad in. If it's going to rain, you'd rather be on a changeover. You definitely want to keep the momentum going. Obviously, I was playing well, in the lead. That's even more of an incentive to keep going.
Q. What is the injury?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: Just my quad.
Q. How much did it affect you when you came out?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: It was tight. It was sore. I was probably tentative on it. Venus was starting to pick up the pace, play a lot better. You know, against her, have you to be 110 %. You have to be moving really well, being able to take the ball early. I felt a little bit slower than I was earlier in the match. But, you know, she played great. She picked it up. She served a lot better in the last two sets. I had a few opportunities in some games, especially the first two games of the last set. Wasn't able to capitalize. She steamrolled after that.
Q. If you have to play 110%, what do you think you were in that last set and a half after the injury?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: Oh, I don't know. I don't want to put a number on it. I definitely wasn't 110%.
Q. The backhands that you missed in the last set and a half, was it because you couldn't put any weight, transfer over?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: I was tentative. It wasn't hurting me. It wasn't something that was "Oh" every time I went to step. It was definitely in the back of my mind. It's tough when you hurt something, you're going to think about it; you don't want to make it any worse. Definitely with my movement, it wasn't as sharp as it was in the beginning.
Q. You had ten minutes to continue. During that ten minutes, they call off the match, suspended the match.
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: Right.
Q. Could you have continued within that ten minutes?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: Yeah.
Q. Do you think you could have?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: She was going to wrap me up right away, get it nice and tight, give it a go. Probably. That's basically what we did anyway. She iced it for a while, the trainer iced it. We wrapped it up right away. It would have been the same process.
Q. Would it have been better if you kept going?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: I don't know. I don't know. Maybe. We won't know.
Q. How different was Venus' game before your injury and what were the biggest changes afterwards?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: Well, I think she just started to move me a lot more, obviously. I think my balls were landing a little bit shorter, so it gave her the opportunity to dictate play a lot more. She was more consistent. Just, you know, picked it up. I think her serve particularly was a lot better in the last two sets than it was in the beginning.
Q. Did you consider retiring at all in the third set?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: No, no. I mean, you retire if you can't move, if you can't walk. I could definitely do that. Like I said, I still felt I had opportunities. I just wasn't able to convert. You never know. Against someone like Venus, if maybe you get a 2-Love lead, they start thinking about it, it gets down to pressure tennis. Once she got those two games and got the lead, it was tough to come back.
Q. I'm sure you're going to wonder, "What if the rain delay was called before the injury?"
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: You can't. You can't do that. It happened. Bad luck. That's the end of it.
Q. Now that you've played both of the Williams sisters, talk about the differences in their games.
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: Let's see. They both have similar games. They both hit the ball very hard off both sides extremely well. Off the ground, they both have better backhands. It's a similar kind of player. I think up until this point, Venus has probably been the tougher one mentally. I think Serena is probably almost there, in that department. But everything else is pretty much the same. I mean, to say who hits harder, I don't know. Maybe Serena hits the ball a little bit flatter so it goes through the court a little bit more. Venus moves really, really well. It's hard to get by her. Her first serve, when she hits it hard, it's pretty lethal. She probably has the heads up in that department.
Q. Do you think there's a chance that both could wind up in the finals?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: Sure. There's always a chance. They've done it before. They're definitely capable of doing it again.
Q. You really sort of befuddled her in the first set, keeping the ball deep, playing a lot to her forehand side. If you had been able to continue doing that, did you see yourself winning that match?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: I definitely went out there, you know -- you have to go out there expecting to win. I definitely went out there with a game plan. I don't know, you know. We can't look back and say, "What if." It just didn't happen. You know, I played a great first set. It was good tennis. She made a lot of unforced errors, which helped. You know, definitely for me that's the way I have to play her. I'm not going to overpower Venus Williams. I've got to do the best at keeping the ball deep, coming in when I can, attacking the weaknesses.
Q. Did you feel she was a little impatient with the deep balls you were hitting without a whole lot of pace?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: You know, I think anybody who's tall and has a long reach, they like to hit on the run. They like when they get pulled out of the court. They have good wingspan. If you can keep her kind of in the center, but deep, it gets frustrating because you don't give them angles. That's probably why she made some mistakes in the beginning. You know, Venus, she's smart, she figures things out pretty quickly. She starts hitting a little more spin, hitting deeper, waiting for her opportunity. She definitely was playing better towards the end of the first set and the rest of the match.
Q. Did you feel early on that you had her a little confused or rattled a bit? Did you surprise yourself at all?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: I was pleased at how well I was executing, you know, my shots. That obviously was my goal. That was not a bit of a surprise, but I was pleased that it was going well. I knew it was going to be tough to do it for two sets. You know, I did. I felt that I was capable of winning. I mean, when I kept the ball deep, I was controlling the rallies. I felt pretty good out there.
Q. The first game of the second set, you had a few breakpoints.
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: That was a big game. I think I had 15-40 in that game.
Q. And another one later.
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: Yeah, another breakpoint later. We had a good point. I went for a lob. Don't ask me why I would have lobbed her. Maybe if I would have dinked it or something, it would have been a smarter play. That was definitely a big game because then I would have gone on the other side with the wind. Like I said before, you know, a couple games like that, you start thinking about it. You start thinking, "Gee, if I don't start playing better or winning these games, I'm going to be in a deep hole." That was definitely a big game.
Q. Is it a strain or a sprain?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: I think a strain is what they said.
Q. An injury like that, is the most limiting thing being able to lunge to your backhand?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: More than anything, it's the squatting, putting the weight on it right now. We'll see how it is tomorrow. It was okay. I mean, like I said, if it would have been really, really bad, I wouldn't have played, I wouldn't have been able to play. It was wrapped nice and tightly. It was fine to play out there.
Q. What did she say when she came over to you after you'd fallen?
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: She was cute. She calls me Mary, not Mary Joe. She's like, "I'm sorry, Mary. Are you okay, Mary?" I looked at her like, "No, but that's okay, I'll be okay." It was really nice of her to come and check up to make sure I was okay.
Q. At first when you went down, you looked like you were kind of collecting yourself, like, "Is my wrist all right?"
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: I didn't know how many body parts I hurt. I knew one. I felt one right away. I'm thinking, "Oh, boy, I fell on my wrist, then my hip." Fortunately or unfortunately it was just one.
Q. No thoughts of, "Why me? Why now?"
MARY JOE FERNANDEZ: No. Like I said, I mean, these things happen. It's a little bit unlucky. If this is the worst thing that's going to happen me in my lifetime, I'll take it.

"Thank you so much for all you did to make everything look so beautiful for the wedding - just as I had imagined and hoped it would be.
The girls flowers were lovely, the flowers on the arbour looked incredible and the tables were beautiful- we have had nothing but very positive compliments from family and friends. Thanks too for your support and advice leading up to the day to ensure everything went so smoothly"

The 2016 mandate was that the US was tired of playing the world's policeman. For one, it is too expensive. The US spends something like 700 billion dollars every year on defense. For a fraction of that amount, it could solve the housing crisis, the education crisis, and the health crisis. It could make a serious dent in its infrastructure woes.
Trump questioned NATO. And people were aghast. But he was only responding to his mandate. Perhaps NATO is indeed a Cold War relic. Whether that is the case or not, a lot of Americans seem to think it is too expensive.
Globalization worked. Trade has worked. A lower-middle-class American today can go to her local Walmart and purchase stuff that Queen Victoria of England could only have dreamed of at the height of British power. There have been immense rises in productivity.
I wholeheartedly supported the idea of Trump holding summit level talks with the North Korean leader. I support the same between Trump and the Supreme Leader of Iran. Why not? Trying to reason things out in person is the basic democratic impulse. It is the most human thing to do.
Or, hey, how about video conferencing?
It is important to take Trump out of the picture and see that something happened in 2016. The US as a country is trying to readjust. The US feels like its defense treaty with Germany and Japan are no longer sustainable. They cost too much money. And perhaps they do. New arrangements have to be sought.
Maybe we are looking at a scenario where Japan gets an army again.
Peace on the peninsula would help. North Korea wants a peace treaty. That peace treaty would guarantee that the US will not invade North Korea. That North Korea wants such an assurance speaks to the paranoia of the regime. But that peace treaty is a small price to pay for peace. Normalized relations between the two Koreas would have cascading influences. We will very likely see a Germany repeat. And Japan will have many fewer security concerns.
The 2016 mandate has to be seen as a call for a new world order where the US plays a less central, a less expensive role. Some of the things Trump wants on trade can only be achieved if the dollar is no longer the global currency. Perhaps it is time for something like Libra, a currency resting on the Bitcoin technology that is pegged to a basket of the five major currencies of the world.
Trump spotted the well of anger in 2016. I don't think he has the solutions. The solutions he offers are misguided at best.
Take intellectual property law as an example. It makes no sense for the US Congress to pass intellectual property law and then impose that on the rest of the world. The US Congress is not the Congress for the whole world. A global parliament needs to shape something like that.
There are a lot of people who are happy someone is finally standing up to China. There are a lot of people who are very happy someone is finally standing up to the US. Both powers should take note. |
Benjamin Mullin and Katie Robertson at NYT:
In a move that brings to a close a pioneering era of online journalism, BuzzFeed is shutting down its namesake news division. After beginning as a quirky digital upstart and rising to a Pulitzer Prize-winning operation, it ultimately fell prey to the punishing economics of digital publishing that has laid low many of its peers.
It’s a sobering end for a publication once seen as a serious challenger to legacy media outlets that had been slow to adapt to the internet. It was also the final chapter of a venture capital-fueled digital period that left an indelible mark on how journalism is produced and consumed.
When BuzzFeed News was founded in 2011, in the run-up to the next year’s presidential election, it explored stories both slight and serious through listicles and click-bait-style headlines designed to go viral on social media. That mirrored the practice of its parent company, an internet laboratory of sorts that Jonah Peretti started in 2006.
The news operation soon drew attention for its ambitious, sharp reporting, however, and went on to open overseas bureaus and invest in investigative journalism. A number of alumni work for the more established news organizations it sought to disrupt, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg News, and those newsrooms have embraced many of the practices that BuzzFeed pioneered in search of readers online.
But for all its accomplishments, the news division failed to make money, unable to square the reliance on digital advertising and the whims of social media traffic with the considerable costs of employing journalists around the world.
Ben Smith, the founding editor of BuzzFeed News, who left in 2020 to be a media columnist at The Times, said in an interview that he was “really sad” about the closing.
“I’m proud of the work that BuzzFeed News did, but I think this moment is part of the end of a whole era of media,” said Mr. Smith, who now runs the media outlet Semafor. “It’s the end of the marriage between social media and news.” |
Physical health is not my only concern. I am also concerned about spiritual health and things bring me into a fuller life and more in tuned with my spiritual perspective. I want to let go of things and patters that do not work for me and embrace what I know will bring me closer to what I know will bring me joy and those around me. Sure, when I was single and had no children, I could set more time aside for my spiritual life. Now at fifty, and in the thick of raising children and taking care of my mother, my spiritual life needs strengthening, and that takes effort and creativity. Spirituality also carries with it those things that bring me more alive, that connect me more to who I am. This is not some deep or airy-fairy thing. What I mean is that I need to continue to align my life and make good use of my gifts and talents and nurture that which I have been given.
One of my great joys in life is creating. I love to create all kinds of things. At forty, I realized I was an artist. I knew that as a mom with wee ones I could not continue to work in clay. Clay takes too much time and requires a lot of equipment. I started to photograph. It was portable and in the beginning of the twenty-first century, easy to come by. Throughout that decade I added writer to that list. I had to first allow myself to embrace this aspect of who I am. As a person living with dyslexia, who all throughout my education struggled with academic writing and spelling, who was told over and over again that I could not write – had to finally allow myself to write from the heart. I will continue to write through this decade. I hope to finish this death book and figure out what kind of format this will take. For me, I know this is just another wild adventure. As my dad always told me life is an adventure, not a problem to be solved. I look forward to embracing what comes my way in the future. I hope that living well – with truth and joy – I will leave my part of the world a better place. |

2006 Harley-Davidson® Night Train™
Get in the Badlander® seat. Reach for the drag-style bar. Then stretch out to the forward controls. In this riding position, it’s easy to see why the Night Train™ is notorious for causing a stir. This year, it gets a fatter 200mm rear tire on a Black Slotted Aluminum Disc wheel — the aggressive look you want, done right by the factory. New, widened bobtail fender. All nicely balancing out a narrow, raked front. To push the custom street look further, we blacked out the tank console, air cleaner cover, oil tank and rear fender supports. At the center is the black powder-coated Twin Cam 88™ engine belting out a haunting melody. No matter the hour, night is always just a throttle turn away.

Goa government is putting in place required infrastructure and making arrangements for the eighth annual summit of BRICS, a bloc of five emerging economies, to be held in the coastal state in October.
Over 8,000 delegates from Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa (BRICS) are expected to take part in the mega event to be held from October 15-16. India is hosting the summit in its capacity as chair of the influential bloc.
“BRICS summit will be held in Goa in October and we are building all the required infrastructure for it. Over 8,000 delegates from the five member-countries are expected to participate in it,” Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar said.
He was speaking to mediapersons after presiding over a meeting with the secretaries and senior officers, held to take stock of preparations for the event.
“This will be a high-profile international event with VVIPs attending it. Therefore, we need to be well prepared for providing them best facilities and comfort,” he said.
“We want to create infrastructure that can be maintained and used even after the event is over. We still have three more months to go for the summit,” Parsekar said.
BRICS member-countries account for 42% of the world population and have a combined GDP of over US $16 trillion. |
Hennessey Special Vehicles, the Texas-based hypercar manufacturer, presents the global debut of the new Venom F5 Revolution Roadster hypercar, revealed in exquisite, exposed carbon fiber. The Revolution Roadster follows last year’s premiere of the roofless Venom F5 Roadster and this year’s debut of the track-ready Venom F5 Revolution Coupe, combining the best traits of both models – visceral open-air motoring with a racing circuit focus.
The new Venom F5 Revolution Roadster is comprehensively re-engineered from its Coupe sibling for ultimate performance on the road and track with improved agility, uncompromised handling, and higher downforce. A suite of track-focused improvements includes aerodynamic enhancements — significantly larger front and rear splitters, dive planes on the front fascia, and a distinctive rear wing — retuned suspension, new wheels, and digital track telemetry. The Revolution Roadster features a high-mounted central air scoop, carried forward from the Revolution Coupe, that delivers fresh cool air to the F5’s engine bay.
Differentiating from the Coupe model, the F5 Revolution Roadster’s roof has been re-engineered with a removable panel crafted from rigid carbon fiber composites. The single-piece roof is fully insulated against the elements and lined with soft Alcantara upholstery (the weatherproof panel is secured with four quick-release bolts and a pair of high-strength latches to withstand the hypercar’s staggering acceleration capabilities and aerodynamic forces at extreme speed). The lightweight roof panel weighs a mere 18 lbs (8 kg), making removal and installation easy for one person.
Paralleling all other Venom F5 models, mid-mounted in the carbon-fiber monocoque chassis is Hennessey’s celebrated twin-turbocharged, 6.6-liter, ‘Fury’ V8 combustion engine rated at an astonishing 1,817 bhp. As with the F5 Roadster, the Venom F5 Revolution Roadster features a robust tempered glass engine viewing window as standard to spotlight the formidable powerplant. The glass, about four times stronger than ordinary annealed glass, is encapsulated within a removable carbon fiber engine cover that features intricately milled heat extraction holes that match those in the rear bumper.
The debut of the Venom F5 Revolution Roadster at The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering, reveals the first of five limited-edition ‘Bare Carbon’ models. Each individually commissioned hypercar of this series boasts a hand-placed carbon-fiber weave methodically arranged in a herringbone pattern to accentuate the F5’s graceful lines. A deeply polished clearcoat protects the exposed composite, while bright opaque paint offers stunning visual contrast from every angle.
John Hennessey, company founder and CEO: “The new Venom F5 Revolution Roadster combines our track-focused hypercar with an open-top for an unmatched visceral driving experience. This first example, a bespoke build for a special client, debuts our bare carbon finish with its meticulous handcrafted exposed carbon-fiber weave. Our hypercar is a timeless work of art that is as visually inspiring as it is physically engaging, thanks to its 1,817-hp combustion-only twin-turbocharged V8.”
The Revolution Roadster is the fourth model to join the Venom F5 family. Each of the 1,817 bhp variants shares the same decathlete mission — uncompromised acceleration, braking, and handling — yet all have been individually engineered for a specific mission. The sold-out F5 Coupe targets ultimate top speed. The open-roof F5 Roadster delivers a visceral experience, and the F5 Revolution is track-focused. At the same time, the new F5 Revolution Roadster fuses these models’ best traits — combining visceral open-air motoring with a racing circuit focus.
The new Venom F5 Revolution Roadster will make its global public debut on August 18 at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, during Monterey Car Week 2023. Priced from $3M and limited to just 12 units — production is sold out —exclusivity is an understatement. |
As outdoor WiFi cameras become more interconnected, cybersecurity becomes a critical consideration. In this technically-oriented blog post, we delve into the significance of robust cybersecurity measures in outdoor WiFi cameras.
Cybersecurity vulnerabilities can expose outdoor WiFi cameras to hacking and unauthorized access. Reputable manufacturers implement strong encryption protocols to protect data transmission and storage, ensuring that only authorized users can access camera feeds.
Firmware updates are essential for addressing security vulnerabilities and maintaining camera performance. Regularly updating camera firmware ensures that the latest security patches are applied.
Secure authentication methods, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), add an extra layer of protection. MFA requires users to provide two or more forms of verification before accessing camera feeds or settings.
Some outdoor WiFi cameras include intrusion detection systems that can identify and notify users of any unusual activity or unauthorized access attempts.
Furthermore, the separation of camera networks from other IoT devices and main networks helps prevent potential breaches from spreading to other devices.
In conclusion, robust cybersecurity measures are imperative for protecting outdoor WiFi cameras from hacking and unauthorized access. By implementing encryption, regular updates, strong authentication, and network segmentation, manufacturers and users can ensure the security of these devices. |
Electronic communications are great in short bursts but can feel awfully impersonal. If faced with a choice of NO communication or electronic communication, I'm sure most people would prefer to communicate electronically versus not communicating at all.
Personally, I find that talking to someone over the phone or in person is much better than strictly exchanging electronic communications. I do my share of emails, instant messages, and texting but just talking to another person has a lot of benefits than just doing electronic communications. Talking to someone makes you feel like you're understood. Plus, hearing the laughs and other things associated with talking is a part of the human experience. Having electronic communications should supplement this AND NOT REPLACE talking on the phone or meeting your friends.
Additionally, as the holiday seasons approach, it's always good to reach out to friends. One friend commented to me last year: "TV shows and commercials make it seem like everyone is happy". I definitely understood his point. During holidays, it seems like "everyone" is happy getting together with friends and family.
But in reality, there are many people who are going through struggles. The obvious people are the people without jobs, families or other basic necessities. But even regular people go through some down times as well.
If you recognize this in someone you know, do a favor and reach out. To borrow the phrase from the old AT&T commercials back in the 1980's: "REACH OUT AND TOUCH SOMEONE". Give someone a call and say hi. Meet someone up for dinner. I am sure your friends will appreciate it!
One of my friends definitely did that for me last year. I had been going through some worries and the friend would call to check up on me. At the end of the day, that's what friends are for. |

Understanding the Working of an Axle
An axle is the central shaft of a rotating gear or wheel. It can be fixed to wheels or to the vehicle and can rotate along with them. The axle may include a number of bearings and other mounting points. Axles are essential for the operation of many types of vehicles. To understand the working of an axle, you should understand its basic purpose.
Vehicles with two axles
There are many different types of vehicles, but most are characterized by having two axles. Two axles are common in SUVs, trucks, and other vehicles that are meant to be off-road or for light hauling. Vehicles with two axles also include light-duty cargo vans and passenger cars.
There are many different kinds of two-axle vehicles, ranging from bicycles to motorcycles. In the United States, the most common kind of two-axle vehicles are pickup trucks, SUVs, and sedans. Three-axle vehicles are also common, with the largest type being tractor-trailers. Four-axle vehicles are rare, though. Some class 8 trucks have two-axle tractors.
Two-axle vehicles typically have two axles, with one axle supporting each of the two wheels. Other types of vehicles have three or four axles. The more axles a vehicle has, the more stability it has and the more weight it can handle. Two-axle vehicles are common, but three-axle vehicles are popular in transporting large cargo. Some are even designed with raised axles.
The number of axles on a car depends on its size and purpose. A car has a front axle and a rear axle. The front axle steers the vehicle, and the rear axle powers the wheels. The number of axles in a truck is largely dependent on its size and load, and some trucks have as many as four.
The front axle and rear axle are connected by a drive shaft. The driveshaft connects to the engine, which turns the axles. The two axles transfer the power from the engine to the wheels, and they may also help drive the vehicle. Axles are essential components of a vehicle, and should be strong and durable.
Axles are also important for a vehicle’s turning radius. Heavy-duty vehicles, such as semi-trucks, have large turning radii. Because they run across the width of the vehicle, axles make it possible for the wheels to turn freely. In addition to allowing the wheels to turn, they also support the weight of the vehicle.
Typical vehicles with two axles include the Toyota Rav4 and the Ford Mustang. The Rav4 uses two axles in front and rear-wheel drive. The Ford Mustang, on the other hand, has a live rear axle. In addition, the Mustang is also two axles. A tandem axle is an arrangement of two rear axles close together. It is a popular style in large vehicles.
Vehicles with three axles
There are many different types of vehicles with three axles. Some of the most common include the dump truck, Greyhound bus, and tractor-trailer. Vehicles with three axles are generally heavier than four-axle vehicles. Vehicles with three axles have two sets of wheels – one front and one back. For example, a heavy truck will have three rear axles, a semi-trailer will have two front axles, and a tow truck will have two drive axles and two steer axles.
A vehicle’s axle count can vary. A simple method of figuring out the number of axles in a vehicle is to count the wheels. There are many ways to find out the number of axles on a vehicle. You can also look in the owner’s manual or ask a mechanic. If you’re unsure, ask someone who knows how to tell if a vehicle has three or four axles.
The design of a vehicle’s axles has several benefits. One of these benefits is its ability to disperse weight across a larger area, thereby reducing the risk of the vehicle sinking into soft ground. Dump trucks often drive to delivery sites with the third axle raised, lowering it only when it’s time to cross a soft area.
The number of axles in a vehicle is a crucial factor in determining how much power it needs to move. Different vehicles are designed to handle different terrains and have different axles to match their needs. For example, two-axle vehicles have two front axles, while three-axle vehicles have three rear axles.
A front axle is located at the front of the vehicle and helps with steering and processing road shocks. A front axle is often made of carbon steel, while a stub axle is a fixed axle that supports only one wheel. The front axle is connected to the stub axle through a kingpin.
Vehicles with three axles are generally larger than two axle vehicles. However, some two-axle vehicles can be three-axle, especially if they have a trailer. The design of a vehicle with three axles depends on what type of trailer it has. A two-axle trailer will usually have a trailer attached to it, and the rear axle will be responsible for moving power from the differential to the rear wheels.
Unlike semi-floating axles, full-floating axles are supported by two large bearings. They’re used for larger vehicles with high towing capacities. They also help with wheel alignment. A three-quarter floating axle is more complex than a semi-floating axle, and is often found in mid-size trucks.
There are also vehicles with a middle axle. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate this arrangement. The front and rear axles support most of the weight of the vehicle and the secondary axle has almost no ground weight. The secondary axle has a ground weight that is only 8.5% of the vehicle’s unloaded weight. The wheels of the vehicle remain in contact with the ground. Leaf spring 1 is coupled to the middle secondary axle.
Types of axles
There are several different types of axles, and each is different in function. Some have bearings on each end, while others don’t. These two types of axles have different strengths and weaknesses, so it’s important to know which one is right for you. The best axle for your vehicle depends on your driving needs and budget.
The most basic type of axle is the axle shaft. This is the most inexpensive kind of axle. It connects the wheel hub to the axle shaft. The axle shaft is attached to the wheel hub by bolts. The wheel axle sits in the middle of the axle shaft. The bearings and axle casing transfer the weight of the wheel to the axle. The bearings are designed to distribute the weight evenly on both sides of the axle.
Another type of axle is the reverse Czpt stub axle. It is similar to the standard Czpt stub axle, but the reverse Czpt is designed with an L-shaped spindle. The rear axles also come in different types. These depend on how they are mounted on the vehicle. There are three different types of rear axles: rigid axles, semi-floating axles, and floating axles.
A full floating axle, on the other hand, does not support the weight of the vehicle. It is attached to the wheel hub and axle housing. It is most common in trucks and heavy duty vehicles. These axles are also the most durable, but they can only handle a heavy load. If the axle shaft breaks or is damaged, the vehicle will drop.
The type of axles a vehicle has is important because it affects the turning radius. A single axle vehicle has one drive axle at the rear, while a tandem vehicle has two drives. This means that the vehicle has a larger turning radius than a single axle one. There are also a variety of designs that allow it to turn at higher speeds and with less torque.
Lastly, a dead front axle is an immovable front axle, not revolving with the wheels. It is protected by housings and is a good choice for vehicles that cannot be driven in wet conditions. They provide the driving power from the Axles to the front wheels. The Czpt type uses a kingpin, while the Lamoine type uses a yoke-type hinge.
Three quarter floating axles are a hybrid between a full and semi floating axle. In this type, the axle is attached to the hub through bearings. As a result, it eliminates the shearing stress of the axle and focuses on bending loads. These axles are cheaper than the semi-floating type, and they are used in lighter trucks.
A semi-floating axle, on the other hand, has a bearing inside its axle casing. This axle is a lightweight option that still supports all the vehicle’s weight. This axle is generally used on light-duty pickups and mid-size trucks.

You need to select the precise recreation sport for you through which you’ve got interest and you won’t repent on in a while.

It’s fun to watch and show assist to your favourite workforce, proper? It’s nice once they score and you’re there to scream and cheer for his or her victory. The players really respect a big thing. Seeing their followers cheer for them. It’s a huge factor. They get all hyped up and even do higher to please you. So what do you do? You employ your voice to make them conscious that what they do is vital. They do not only play for the sake of scoring, however they play for your entertainment.

The victims of “Ping Pong Feelings” usually see themselves as overachievers, and often work in one other competitive setting from 9 to 5. The leisure sport they select, whether or not desk tennis, tennis, or basketball, is a passion that deserves the identical depth they bring about to every activity. The outcome of every individual effort inside that contest is a measure of accomplishment, a test of their shallowness.

Hiring the right person to do the job is even harder than it sounds. While many companies use their human resources department to hire new employees, for higher-level positions, or in smaller companies, the hiring decision is often made by executives. But sometimes even executives hire the wrong person for the job.
We recently asked our successful leaders what they think is the biggest mistake executives make when hiring talent.
Here are their responses…
John Schembari, Senior Education Executive
When hiring educators, particularly in this time of shortage, districts have been taking almost anyone. However, it is in a district’s best interest to hire candidates that understand their community. This is the number one mistake districts make—forgoing this check. References inform a district about work ethic but they might not indicate if the teaching candidate can support the needs of their specific students.
In addition to reviewing references, schools should have EXTERNAL teaching candidates review non-identifiable student scholarship data and indicate how they will address this within their classroom. Further, have candidates conduct a “demo lesson” with actual students. Afterwards, ask students about the experience. Lastly, involve current educators in the hiring process. Have current staff use checklists/rubrics to rate the quality of incoming resumes and determine who will be interviewed. Internally, consider “grow your own” programs to elevate paraprofessionals to teaching roles. GYO programs also help promote equity particularly in urban schools.
John Schembari is a current K-12 teacher/school leader academic improvement coach and former school building and district administrator. He loves to draw, travel, swing dance, and read nonfiction.
Ana Smith, Talent Architect & Global Learning Strategist
If you’re human, you’re biased. Every last one of us makes judgments and decisions based on the collective influence of our upbringing, our experiences, our education, and our societies. That “gut feeling” you have about anything from how your food looks to the impression you get when meeting someone new? That’s nothing more than a collection of biases manifesting themselves.
This can be potentially valuable in social interactions. Where bias can truly become disastrous is in hiring!
As a hiring manager or executive in charge of making hiring decisions, you are not free from bias. It’s truly 100% impossible to be completely free of bias. The best you can do is to take steps to minimize the effect bias has on your decision making and be aware of what you cannot eliminate to mitigate it. This requires self-awareness.
Examining your hiring process and your decision making to see if any of these are present and taking action to adjust for them is key.
Ana Smith helps people & organizations achieve their full talent potential by developing and co-creating people strategies and customized solutions, and turning them into impactful outcomes and collaborative relationships, using coaching as the “red thread.”
Carla Biasi, Personal Stylist
I believe the biggest mistake is focusing strictly on qualifications. Of course, skills and talents are needed in any role. But the focus should be on the whole individual. Other considerations when hiring the right candidate should be personality, attitude, disposition, and emotional intelligence.
Companies have certain cultures that represent the aesthetics of their workforce. Within those organizations are teams/departments that must work well together for the company to succeed. Goals are established, roles defined, and tasks given. The goal is a well-oiled machine with high productivity, but if there is discourse on the team, it’s disruptive.
I recommend meeting the team you will be working with during the interview process. If you are in a role, talk to management about team-building exercises to help create a strong team.
Remember that an individual is made up of many different skills and attributes. Discover all the wonderful things a candidate has to offer and match it to the job responsibilities and goals of the team for everyone’s success.
Carla Biasi is a personal stylist living on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. She currently has her own business and works part-time at an upscale women’s boutique and as a virtual and kit stylist for a women’s specialty brand.
Andrea Markowski, Marketing Executive
The number one hiring mistake is to bring in someone who can fully execute the role.
Sounds crazy, right?
Instead, hire someone who can fulfill most of the job basics, but who is also willing to grow into the position.
A manager once told me during a review to not feel bad when I expressed frustration at not exceeding every expectation.
“If you’re 100% successful, you have nowhere to grow. You’d be overqualified and unhappy,” he said. “As long as there’s space to develop and you’re willing to learn, you’re on the right track.”
His message really resonated years later when I was at a different company. In this new case, I was, indeed, overqualified.
I was hired because I could do everything in the job description, and more. However, it was a bad fit—for precisely that same reason. I didn’t stay long because I wasn’t challenged.
I’d caution against hiring someone fully qualified, especially if they express no interest in expanding their skills. You’re better off with the candidate who’s intrinsically motivated to learn what they don’t yet know.
Andrea Markowski is a marketing director with specializations in strategy development, digital tactics, design thinking, and creative direction. She has superpowers in presentations and public speaking.
Jim Black, Engineering & Technical Executive
Number one mistake in hiring… hiring for a resume and not for behaviors.
Never hire someone who has a perfect resume and gives you pause in their behavior. The person’s skills may be a perfect match for your needs, and yet, something feels off.
In my past, I have hired for perfect skills, and I have paid for it each time. On paper, the person is great! In day-to-day life, they do not fit.
I will always hire based on a person’s behaviors. I can teach technical skills if the person is grounded in good behaviors: willingness to learn, hungry for answers, improvement oriented, and enthusiastic to work with the team. These attributes create great employees who can develop the necessary technical skills needed to succeed.
Hiring for the “perfect” skill set has costs me much more in the long run.
Jim Black is an engineering professional focused on the development of technical professionals. He is also a professional bass player.
Lisa Perry, Global Marketing Executive
We’ve seen more changes in the remote workplace in the last two years. The Great Resignation of 2021 is now turning into the Great Uncertainty, with layoffs affecting the tech sector, cryptocurrency, and Wall Street.
Selecting a new employee is a critical decision. Time and again, people are hired who are either not qualified or are not a culture fit for the company. The number one mistake executives make when hiring talent in this new work environment is not taking a look at their team and the broader organization first. There’s great opportunity in leveraging underutilized talent to fill open positions. You may find that individuals can take on new responsibilities to expand their role or someone is ready to be promoted into an open position. Your employees are also your best recruiters. Utilize them to promote job opportunities to including them in your marketing assets.

Why use an agent?
Selling a home takes more than just putting a "for sale" sign out front. You need an agent with experience and training to help you determine the right price, come up with an effective marketing strategy, and anticipate and solve any problems that come up during the selling process. A real estate professional can help you with every part of selling your home, and offer you a smoother, hassle-free experience.
When you’re selling your home, there are a number of advantages to working with an agent:
- He/she knows real estate values in your neighbourhood and will help price your home competitively by preparing a market analysis of homes that have sold, competing homes that are still on the market and homes that were on the market but didn’t sell.
- He/she will establish a marketing strategy for your home, ensuring that it’s exposed to as many potential buyers as possible.
- He/she takes care of the tasks involved in selling a house, ensuring that the transaction is simple and low-stress for you.
- He/she is an expert in the home selling process and will advise you of your rights, options and obligations.
- He/she is an experienced negotiator and will work for you to get you the best possible price.
Effective marketing for your home
An agent can help you market your home by exposing it to as many potential buyers as possible. The first step is putting it on the MLS. But listing your property is only the beginning; your agent will prepare a personalized plan that includes everything he/she plans to do to sell your property. At Royal LePage, your property will be aggressively promoted through:
- A posting on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)
- Royal LePage property advertising publications
- The Royal LePage web site
- Other Royal LePage offices and real estate professionals
- Mailings to potential buyers in your area
Pricing your property right
If you price your property too low, it may sell quickly, but you’ll lose out on money. If you price it too high, it may not sell at all. Your agent can help you figure out the best asking price for your home.
The benefits of the right price
A well-priced property may generate competing offers, which will drive up the final price. Other real estate professionals will be enthusiastic about presenting your property to their buyers. Your home will sell faster because it is exposed to more qualified buyers.
Listen to the market
As part of your pricing strategy, your agent will put together a comparative market analysis, which is a good indicator of what today’s buyers are willing to pay. It compares the market activity of homes similar to yours in your neighbourhood:
- Homes that have recently sold represent what buyers are willing to pay.
- Homes currently listed for sale represent the price sellers hope to obtain.
- Listings that have expired are generally overpriced or have been poorly marketed.
Don’t overprice your home
Some sellers believe that if they price their home high initially, they can lower it later. Instead of making you more money, this strategy could end up hurting you.
Early activity is key. As soon as a home comes on the market, agents and potential buyers sit up and take notice. If it’s overpriced, interested parties will quickly lose interest. By the time the price drops, the majority of buyers are lost. When a home has been for sale too long, buyers will be wary and may reject the property.
You’ll miss the right buyer. You may think that interested buyers can always make an offer, but if your home is overpriced, potential buyers looking in a lower price range will never see it. And those who can afford a home at your asking price will soon recognize that they can get a better value elsewhere.
- You could run out of time. You may end up having to drop your price below market value if your home doesn’t sell initially. Price it right the first time, and you won’t end up having to sell it for less than it’s worth.
Renovating for resale
Renovations don’t have to be expensive or extensive to offer you a good rate of return. In fact, a quick coat of paint can go a long way to boosting your selling price. Just make sure your new décor is tasteful, with shades of white and tame versions of popular colours.
The kitchen and bathroom are your best bets for renovation with the highest payback. Take a look at these average rates of return for home upgrades:
- Interior painting and décor - 73%
- Kitchen renovation - 72%
- Bathroom renovation - 68%
- Exterior paint - 65%
- Flooring upgrades - 62%
- Window/door replacement - 57%
- Main floor family room addition - 51%
- Fireplace addition - 50%
- Basement renovation - 49%
- Furnace/heating system replacement - 48%
- New lighting - 84%
As an expert on home sales trends in your neighbourhood, your Royal LePage Sales Professional can suggest which areas of your home could benefit from renovation and increase its value.
Getting your home ready to show
If you’re planning an open house, or are expecting buyers to be looking at your home, make sure their first impression is a good one. Here are few hints for making your house look great to potential buyers:
- House in good repair
- House number easy to read
- Eavestroughs, down spouts and soffits in good repair

- Chipped plaster and paint touched up or replaced
- Doors and cupboards properly closed
- Leaky taps and toilets repaired
- Burned out light bulbs replaced
- Squeaky doors oiled
- Mirrors, fixtures and taps cleaned and polished

- Valuable property, such as art, vases and figurines out of reach, out of sight or locked away
- Pets absent, where possible, or contained during the showing, and litter boxes clean
Signing a Listing Agreement
The first formal step in selling your property is entering into a Listing Agreement with your Royal LePage agent. The Listing Agreement is a contract in which Royal LePage commits to actively market your home for a specified period of time. It also commits you to a pre-established marketing fee that is to be paid upon the successful closing of the sale.
As part of the Agreement, your agent may require the following documents:
Plan of Survey or Location Certificate. A survey of your property which outlines the lot size and location of buildings as well as details of encroachments from neighbouring properties. This may be required in certain areas to complete the sale of your home. Your legal professional may recommend a survey, especially if significant changes have been made to your property.
Property tax receipts. Most Listing Agreements require that current annual property tax assessments be shown.
Mortgage verification. Few homeowners know the exact balance of their mortgage as it is paid down. You will be asked to authorize your mortgage lender to provide the figures required.

DTI Advantage: Versatile
DTI’s speed control valve, or velocity fuse, plays a critical role in maintaining safe production or drilling operations. The speed control valve is a hydraulic safety device designed to protect the cylinders and vessel from damage as a result of a mechanical failure such as a wireline break or riser parting.
During normal operations, the valve remains open to allow fluid within the system to flow in accordance with vessel heave and the subsequent cylinder stroke. The valve is designed to close at a rod velocity that is representative of a run-away condition.
The workings of the valve are assembled as a removable unit. The unit is made up of the poppet, load spring, shaft and retaining bracket. |
Honduras has officially notified the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities in the island of Taiwan that it will end a free trade agreement (FTA) with the island in six months, according to media reports on Thursday.
The reports come as China and Honduras have strengthened technical consultations on relevant work for a potential FTA, following the historic visit of Honduras' President Iris Xiomara Castro Sarmiento to China this week, less than three months after the two countries established diplomatic ties in March.
The Honduran permanent mission to the WTO sent an email to the DPP authorities saying that Honduras will withdraw from the FTA in 180 days, according to various media reports in the Taiwan region.
The FTA was signed in 2007. Honduras severed so-called "diplomatic ties" with the island of Taiwan in March. DPP authorities have slammed the move and claimed that the FTA had been much more beneficial to Honduras than to the island, according to media reports.
Honduras' move to end the FTA with the island comes as preparation for negotiations on an FTA with the Chinese mainland is underway, according to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce on Thursday.
"At present, the Ministry of Commerce of China is working with the competent authorities of the Honduran side to earnestly implement the important consensus of the two heads of state, strengthen technical communication on the work related to the FTA, and strive to start the process of negotiating the FTA as soon as possible," Shu Jueting, a spokesperson for the ministry, said at a press briefing on Thursday.
Shu further stated that the Chinese side stands ready to take this opportunity to carry out institutional dialogue, tap the potential of bilateral economic and trade cooperation, and promote China-Hong Kong economic and trade cooperation to a new level.
During the Honduran president's visit, the two sides reached a consensus on negotiating an FTA and promoting practical cooperation in various fields. They also signed a series of bilateral cooperation documents, including on jointly constructing the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative.
Moreover, Chinese officials also moved swiftly in allowing certain Honduran products to be exported to the Chinese market.
On Monday, the two countries signed a document to allow the entry into the Chinese market of Honduras' South American whiteleg shrimp, a major export from the country. So far, China has given the green light to nine aquatic products enterprises from Honduras to register in China and carry out trade, according to the customs. |
Hey Whats up fam!!
Freak, Sound like you guys had a fun week. DREW gotta get the leg better man! jaja Stretch a ton! It really will help. Sounds like you did great at Simplot. I miss track so much! I love stretching, it’s the best. I’m super close to getting the splits! He puesto esa meta y voy a hacer todo posible para cumplirlo! I’m not going to lie though dude jajaja that pic of you and the track kids was so funny! jajaja I was dying man! And yah bro you finally saw my name in the cage! It’s sweet man! Keep working hard in track!
Nope, I didn’t get my package yet. I may get it this week. We have a huge conference in Arequipa on Friday for all the missionaries. So that should be fun. I should also find out Thursday what’s going on with our area.
Well, this week we didn’t really do much. We’ve just been doing the same thing everyday. Walking, contacting, working, jaja and not doing much else. Mission life, right?! We went and worked on a farm with one of the members. He’s honestly one of the coolest people ever! His name is Hermano Vegil. He’s a stud and I really love that guy! He’s a member of the branch. I’m teaching him English right now. He knows a lot cause the elders from the US always teach him. He’s the guy in the picture and his house is behind him. jaja The majority of the people we teach don’t have lights. It’s so crazy. We teach lessons in the dark and with flashlights! Good thing dad sent me with some good ones!We helped him pick fruit and what ever else he needed us to do. He let us take a bunch of mangos to our house to eat. So that was sweet! I eat so much fruit here! It’s crazy! I eat like 20 bananas, 10 mangos, and 10 apples every 2-3 days. I wasn’t buying a bunch of vegetables but I started doing that this week. I bought a stick of Brocolli jaja and some carrots to eat so it was good. Oh, how I miss the food of the states though.
So good news for the area, we have a couple people here that want to get baptized. There should be like 7 bautismos this next month or something like that. jaja Only a few right??? So we really have been working hard and trying to connect with the people. They’re all neighbors and always listen to us when we come to visit their area. jaja. None of them have ever heard about the church before. The misioneros have never gone to where they live so we were the first! So cool! It’s pretty crazy. Half of them don’t speak Spanish very well. They speak a language called quechua which is nuts! I’m starting to learn a little bit of it so I can kind of teach a lesson to them. My comp doesn’t know the language either so were just learning it together right now too. They understand us but they sound like me when they try to reply in Spanish.jaja It’s kind of funny. I was just thinking of this scene from Big Bang theory when Raj’s date is deaf and he needs Howard to translate for him!jajaja I love that show!
As I had said before, I really love this area, it’s just the pressure that I am getting here from the other elders. It’s mainly the elders here in the district that keep asking me for money, mostly my district leader, and I don’t know why. When I say no then they try to make me feel bad and it’s just a lot to handle. The ward ledir misional was one of the people talking bad about me too. I got on his case and gave it to him good. I told him if he’s got problems with me he can speak to me and not to the other people of the ward. I just don’t know if I can do another change here. I told the president that I would like a change but if he needed me to stay here I would. I really hope he changes me though even though I would miss out on seeing our new investigators progress. So, I think I’ve solved that problem. jaja. They were 2 main guys causing the problem in the area and I think they’re switching the DL. ESPERO que el tenga cambio. My comps a stud though. jaja We don’t have any money left for the month, the office forgot to send it to us last Monday, so I always have to pay for things cause he doesn’t have money. Makes it hard but it is what it is. jaja.
Today we are going to see some waterfalls or something like that and if I am still here next week we are going shrimp fishing cause the season starts then. I think I might take my comp out for lunch. There isn’t really anything here, just local places that serve chicken but I want to find a place that serves shrimp cause it’s freaking good here!
Love you guys and have a good week! |
It was Dwell magazine’s cover story in June 2013 and I just couldn’t ‘click’ past and not show you this awesome renovation of a 1920’s Mediterranean-style bungalow located in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Los Feliz house by Mike Jacobs and Forrest Jessee of Mike Jacobs Architecture represents a 630 sf addition and complete interior renovation of the home of two young actors with a strong sense of personal style and an expanding art collection.
Located in the foothills of Griffith Park, the design for the Los Feliz House took cues from the accretion of numerous, yet disjointed additions. Built in 1925 as a 2-bedroom bungalow, these additions had doubled the area of the house enclosing a disproportionate area of the property. In the 1960’s what remained of the backyard was replaced with a swimming pool, leaving very limited outdoor living space.
The architectural design addresses these deficiencies in two ways: by expanding the outdoor areas with a series of new roof decks and by opening interior spaces to the outdoors, blurring the relationships between interior spaces and the gardens.

Balancing rising demand for energy with climate mitigation pressures
As global demand for energy rises, so does the need for solutions to minimise the carbon balance of fossil fuel combustion. One possible way to balance conflicting needs lies in reducing combustion-induced carbon emissions with plants that capture CO2 from flue gases and then purify and liquefy the gas for other applications. Here at Linde, we have developed a wide portfolio of both customised and standardised CO2 plants to meet all volume, purity and time-to-solution needs.
Complementing our customised offering, we deliver a range of modular plants. These are designed to maximise cost efficiencies, and reduce risk and production time through standardisation and pre-testing, while still giving you the flexibility you need to adapt to variations in feed gas sources and product requirements. Design highlights include a compact footprint and ease of maintenance. Being both plant supplier and operator, Linde has the capability to feed the operational experience back into future plant design. Each client can profit from these continuous improvements.
Minimum operating costs
Our CO2 plants are designed for the highest levels of energy efficiency. Ease of maintenance and automated operations further reduce operating costs. A distributed control system (DCS) or programmable logic controller (PLC) dynamically adjust the process to meet changes in the feed gas composition or plant load.
Maximum availability and ease of maintenance
Offering exceptional availability rates close to 100%, all of our plants are engineered for excellence, featuring premium components to ensure maximum operational uptime. Easy accessibility to all components simplifies maintenance. In addition, we deliver spare parts and can also look after maintenance and after-sales support.
We engineer our CO₂ purification and liquefaction plants to give you the flexibility you require. For instance, operational capacity can be easily adjusted to the desired output level. The plant design can be adapted to all variations in feed gas sources and be started up and shut down within a matter of hours.
To increase manageability even further, our plants come with an optional dedicated port that can be connected to a communication board for remote control. Plants can even be powered up and shut down in remote mode. In addition, fully automated product analysis, truck loading and weighing equipment are available.
Rounding out our offering of CO2 plants, we also offer a range of financing and aftersales support services as well as remote management through our Remote Operating Centres (ROCs).
All of our CO2 plants reflect our long-standing experience and technology leadership in cryogenic systems. The purification and liquefaction process flow is outlined below.
Pre-cooling and compression
This unit cools down the water-saturated feed gas and then separates the water. The cooled gas is sent to the CO2 compressor to increase the pressure up to operating conditions. Boiloff gas from the storage tanks can also be recycled to the compressor. Oil filters and various adsorbers can be added downstream as required to remove additional components such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) or trace impurities.
The CO2 gas is fed into the scrubber unit to wash and cool down the gas. This is also where water-soluble components such as alcohols are removed.
Drying and adsorption
The remaining water and traces of other chemical components are removed from the gas stream in the interchangeable dryers. Depending on requirements, various adsorbers and filters are installed downstream in order to remove further components such as carbonyl sulfide (COS).
The dry CO2 gas passes through a reboiler followed by the CO2 distillation column. The gas leaving the column at the top contains the inert components. The liquid CO2 product drawn off the bottom is sent to the storage tank or vaporised for various on-site solutions.
Storage system and loading facilities
The liquefied CO2 is stored in pressurised tanks. For transportation purposes, it is pumped through the respective loading facilities into trucks, railway cars and ships. For gaseous on-site applications, the CO2 is pressurised by means of additional compressors connected to the pipeline network.
