What Did Office Workers Do Before Computers?
Computers are now ubiquitous in offices around the world; entire economies would crash without them. Whether they are used within a multinational corporation or a one-man hedge-pruning outfit, computers are now as important as the workers themselves. It is hard to remember life without them, but civilisation managed to overcome many turbulent times without a reliance on Microsoft’s latest desktop software. The Roman Empire ruled the world for centuries without even the merest hint of corporate accountancy software. In fact, it is almost impossible to imagine what office workers could possibly have done with their time before the dawn of the information age. The following three tasks were commonplace before IBM and Apple changed the world.
This may sound a little crazy, but office workers were forced to spend their time being productive before the distractions of Facebook and Twitter were unleashed on the world. Entire marketing teams would deliver projects on time as a result of speaking to real people. Hard-working accounts staff would never have to pretend they were compiling cost reports when the boss approached, as there was no such thing as Windows Solitaire in those days. Free from the chains of social media and countless online casinos, office workers were able to fully immerse themselves in their work.
It seems strange now, but there was a time when office workers would converse on a face-to-face basis. Old-fashioned sexism was in its prime, and chat-up lines were perfected on a daily basis. Without chat-rooms, social media and email, people had no other option than to talk to colleagues. This state of affairs is a world away from the office environment of today; one where talking to a colleague only yards away involves a flurry of error-strewn emails.
The humble pen has almost been confined to the annals of history. Instead, computers are now used for everything from making notes to ordering lunch. The art of writing a letter or memo by hand has been forgotten; banished to museums and the anecdotes of elderly relatives. Of course, everything is quicker now, and emails rarely get lost in the post. However, there was a certain skill to letter-writing that improved a person’s overall communication skills. Unfortunately, the modern equivalent of good communication is the ability to decipher a positive grunt from a negative one.
No one can dispute the fact that computers have made our lives easier. What once took several days now takes a fraction of a second. However, the price we all pay for technological advances is reduced human interaction. Is that a price worth paying?

Moscow mayor Sergey Sobyanin is forming a working group to discuss with the public Vladimir Putin’s idea of setting up a dedicated place for political rallies in Moscow.
Sobyanin’s press secretary told reporters that the official who currently oversees all large-scale political gatherings in the city will head the group.
The idea of creating a Moscow “Hyde Park” was voiced by Prime Minister and presidential candidate Vladimir Putin at his meeting with the rectors of Russian institutes and universities on February 14.
“We should find some decent place like the Hyde Park of our European neighbors, where anyone who has such a desire could speak freely and openly on any subject, with the media having the opportunity to deliver this viewpoint to all citizens of the Russian Federation,” Putin said. “In fact, the place where people gather is not important, what is important is that the country knows their opinion, and the modern mass media can offer such an opportunity to everyone,” he added.
Current Russian law requires that any type of street action apart from a single person picket be coordinated with municipal authorities. The coordination of sites for rallies almost always causes fierce debate, and exceeding the planned number of participants is punishable by fines, even at rallies in support of the authorities.
Moscow authorities are currently receiving a record number of applications for political rallies – a city administration official said in a recent interview that if all applications were approved, the capital would see about 20 rallies every day. February 23 and 26 are the most popular dates sought by both allies and opponents of the authorities. February 23 is a public holiday in Russia – Defender of the Fatherland Day. The organizers of the rally in Putin’s support initially planned to march through the city center on that day, but then agreed to move to the less crowded Luzhniki stadium.
The opposition initially demanded Revolution Square near the Kremlin as their venue, but the city administration turned down the request, citing fears of traffic chaos. The location for their 23 February rally is still being discussed. The situation is further complicated by the fact that February 25 and 26 will see massive Shrovetide celebrations.

Continued from Part 1 and Part 2.
Dryden ignored the stares as he charged into the ballroom only to find Lord Caewyn leading the red-haired woman to the dance floor.
Perhaps the young elf lord wasn’t a fool, or he recognized the benefits of Lady Escadia’s title, wealth, and connections.
The archmage doubted Caewyn could appreciate her magic.
Even now, Dryden felt the whisper of it across his flesh. More seductive than the finest courtesan and more alluring than a book of arcane secrets.
Jealousy pricked him as the red-haired elf smiled up at Caewyn. Dryden frowned. Such emotion was unworthy of an archmage, especially in response to someone he was considering as an apprentice.
Yet, there it was. Foolish to deny it, but more foolish to embrace it.
He had to tread carefully. Escadia’s mother was an archmage in her own right, and while she’d married into the Lockheart line, it was well known that she had plans for her daughter. Plans many suspected that included a royal marriage.
Dryden paid little attention to politics, but he knew the woman dancing with Caewyn deserved better than anything Melisandre had planned.
He had to learn more, to gauge if her magic was as strong as it felt.
The archmage crossed his arms and waited until the music ended before approaching Caewyn and his dance partner.
“I thank you for the invitation.” Dryden barely glanced at Caewyn as his gaze fixed on the young woman beside the elven lord.
Dryden’s brows winged up, but he nodded once.
Caewyn sucked in a breath, squeezed Aenwyn’s hand, then disappeared into the crowd.
“He’s not a fool,” Aenwyn said.

The Bryan Thompson Design Scholarship, created to reward exceptional talent in automotive design, will reward talented LGBT design students by helping pay for their education.
A couple years ago I was approached to be on a car design reality tv competition called Motor City Masters. Having already penned cars on the road for companies like Nissan, Peugeot, Citroen and others, I didn’t see the point in competing to be “America’s next great car designer.” But it occurred to me that a TV show with a prize meant I could fulfill one of my professional goals of creating a scholarship for LGBT students interested in car design. I went on the show, won second place, and was awarded a $75k Camaro Z28. I have been personally funding the scholarship ever since, as best I can.
I think if you’re a designer, you’re one from the beginning. We are born with certain sensibilities. Long before you have the words to articulate why you see the world differently than your friends or family do, and way before you can draw what you see. You’re born straight or gay, and you’re born a designer. Once you figure those two things out, the world is an amazing place.
My goal is to find that kid out there who is being told there is something wrong with him. And I want him to know that he is right and everyone else is wrong.
I’ve always been “out,” in the sense that there was never a big reveal to be shared. In 1979 I was only five years old but I worshipped Erik Estrada enough to tear a photo of him out of the TV Guide and tape it to my wall. Imagine my mom’s surprise when she saw the shot of a shirtless “Ponch” right there over her young son’s bed. I remember how she looked at the picture, did a double take, and then asked, “Bryan, I’m curious why you want this in your bedroom?” I grinned and replied: “It makes me feel good.” To her credit she just nodded and smiled and didn’t immediately sign me up for analysis.
Much later she told me she knew I was gay even before I put up the photo. She let me keep the picture until the crush was over. That episode stayed with me and taught me something. It’s clear my fondness for dark-haired, happy looking men goes way back… And I also realize I don’t need to be afraid of who I am or what I want.
I tell that story here, because it helped me as an adult, when there was adversity about being gay. I can remember an incident at a car studio where I was designing when a visiting design director made a loudly voiced homophobic slur while reviewing a car in the viewing court. Very calmly, I waited until he finished talking, aware that my colleagues shared the uncomfortable tension he had created, and I walked over to him, firmly took hold of his coat sleeve, and asked him to take a short walk with me. I won’t go into details of the ensuing conversation, but by the time we returned to the viewing court, he readdressed the team, and officially apologized.
This is in an important story because it illustrates why you must stand up for yourself. If you don’t, then you make it okay for homophobia to persist, especially when it’s coming from a person of authority. You can handle it with tact, quietly, if that’s your way, but when you correct it, you make it known that you won’t be bullied into silence.
I feel that, as our careers mature, it’s important to help the generation that comes after you. I learn more from working with students sometimes than they do from me. I hope to show young designers that they can be proud of who they are, and what they create. Partnering with celebrity photographer Gabriel Goldberg, we have shot a calendar featuring the designs and talent of successful gay industry leaders. A couple of those shots are featured here.

Some of the many highlights for me was partaking in the english camp which was a 2 day camp with5 different schools all participating. The kids and all the teachers and especially Kate made the whole trip so enjoyable. Meeting and living with all the other volunteers was also a big highlight.
The food was great, especially having lots of fruit and the toast always left there throughout the day. The accommodation is so nice in the way that theres many big tables for all the volunteers to talk and get to know each other. The staff were so kind, especially Kate and Phil and all the drivers.
One thing that could have made it even better was having an activity every night of the week and maybe some citronella candles for the mosquitos outside on the big table.
Thank you so much for the experience, truly can’t wait to do it again in another country!

It’s really easy to get bogged down in comparing yourself with others – checking to see how well others are doing and measuring yourself against them, whether that be at work or in your personal life. It’s really easy to think that it’s all about the person beside you, in front of you or behind you.
How often do we look at others and think, ‘if I can just reach them that would be great, that would be success’, or conversely, ‘I’d better pick up the pace in case the people behind catch me up’.
That this is all too common is no great surprise as we spend most of our lives in environments which encourage the generation of such a mindset. Growing up at school, taking exams, getting into college or university; and then in later life both entering the job market and staying in a job – not to mention trying to gain a promotion or forge a career through what feels like a bit of a battleground! In all of these instances, we’re being measured against other people, by other people and our relative performance is often used to communicate a perceived level of success.
But there is an important distinction here, between being measured and benchmarked against others by others, and in measuring yourself against others.
The problem is that we have no control over other people, their goals, their ambitions, the things they do or how well they do them. How ‘successful’ someone is in any given area is all relative to and determined by them. What they view as success (or otherwise) may be wholly different to your perspective on the same matter.
Therefore if we spend too much time checking to see what others are doing and how well they are doing, we miss the things that are most important. We miss the opportunity to measure ourselves against the only benchmark which really matters – ourselves.
We are the only people whose goals and ambitions we can really control and the only ones whose actions and the impact of those actions we can take full responsibility for. We are the only people who can truly define what our level of performance should be and the extent to which it brings success.
It’s only normal to be in an environment in which we are assessed and measured by other people, relative to others, however it’s up to each of us to define what we want and what our version of success looks like.
So which race are you running?
Make sure it’s the one you’re in control of and the one whose outcome you can take full responsibility for. After all, that’s the only race which matters.

I. Love. Christmas. I do, I do, I DO!
From the time I was a tot, I would get excessively excited about the festivities surrounding Christmas. – and for me it all begins with the tree. We almost always had a real tree growing up, and I would long for that comfy cozy feeling of the tree up, lights twinkling, fire crackling and pine fresh aroma filling the house. I'm running out of time before my surgery (9 days now, but who's counting) and I have a list of Christmas musts to get going on. I need to bake cookies, go see the lights at the temple, sing Christmas carols, host or attend at cookie exchange, attend a few holiday parties and dinners and then I'll be ready to hunker down on the couch for the rest of the season with my babies. *sigh* – I will have Christmas movies, hot chocolate and pain meds on repeat. A memorable Christmas for sure. Eeeeek!
I've been working on getting stuff up around the house and I like to remember how we change it up each year. This years tree pales in comparison to last years monster tree. – but our new guy is a fluffy & delicious noble fir. I love 'em.

What are the key covers, features and benefits?
This policy is a form of restrictive covenant indemnity which can be obtained prior to the breach of covenant taking place. Examples of covenants restricting development would be density restrictions (i.e only one dwelling can be built but planning obtained for, say, three), requirement for plans to be approved by the former land owner, requirement that the land can only be used as garden ground etc.
If a party were successful in taking action by way of an injunction, the policy would compensate the Insured for the costs incurred or contracted for since the Commencement Date, as well as the loss in value.

Is this the next step in gaming immersion?
I gotta say, I'm impressed by the technology. Sounds like a good idea all around. Definitely considering buying one of these things.
Wow, thats really awesome. Thats really what combat and vehicle games lack, the ability to look around without changing position, or having to run diagonally.
I can see this getting seriously picked up by gaming. There are some inconveniences though. First of all, I hate wearing hats, and would rather a light strap or something, im sure they can make the whole thing smaller too. What if im playing and I need to get up to answer the phone, I guess it should have a on/off switch. I also hope the motion exaggeration is tweakable, so you can look side to side just by nudging your head a little. Also the less exaggeration, the more you will have to move your eyes to keep them on the screen, which could get tiring.
Btw- that game they're playing. I think I know it but I cant remember the name, a battlefieldish type game, huge maps and very realistic, in gameplay... operation something I think.
honestly? so long as you're stuck having to look at a fixed monitor it'll be too counter-intuitive. just glue some miniature LCDs and the various lensings to that cap and sync them up so your view tracks directly. as is it's just glaringly cheap rip off of VR... without the VR bit.
I think you mean Operation Flashpoint, but the game shown in the video is Armed Assault, a spiritual sucessor created by the same developers.
Not having the freedom to look away gets annoying imo.
It'd work with a VR helmet, but only with a VR helmet. Of course, VR helmets would never work without this, so it's clearly a symbiotic relationship in the making, and one that is probably overdue, considering that neither will (or would) make it without the either.
I'm not comfortable with having to tilt/turn my head to look at the screen, or not look at the screen, as the case may be.
it's a wii remote attached to a hat... i seriously doubt it'll catch on without a screen that rotates with the head.
There are some inconveniences though. First of all, I hate wearing hats, and would rather a light strap or something, im sure they can make the whole thing smaller too.
Had one of these for a few weeks now :) (with the light thingy that attaches to headphones, looks marginaly less silly than the hat:p ). Its not counter-intuitive at all, I soon forget I'm wearing it and stop having to think about turning my head.
Really comes into its own in flightsims (which is what it was originally designed for afaik), to the point where I'd say its not worth playing without one.
I've yet to try it in an on foot game as in the video but I can't really see it being that great. Maybe I'm missing something but being able to move your head around seperately seems pretty pointless in that scenario.
Its useful in flightsims and racing games because you really need both hands free to control the vehicle, meaning you can't use the mouse for panning your view. However thats not the case with fps games, so I don't really see it catching on in them.
What happens when you want to rotate 360 degrees (ie. turn round)? You can't turn round in your chair. I don't like it, but it could suit *some* games.
You can turn 180 (look behind you) by turning your real head about 30 degrees at the default sensitivity, if you increase it a lot it should be possible to do 360, at the cost of accuracy.
Nothing really new and imo also ridiculous for serious gaming, since you can very easily check our surroundings with normal mouse look.
I think if something like this should be used at all, it had to be a helmet with mini-screens inside.
It doesn't take into account translation, only rotation, so z-axis is tilting your head from side to side.
I think the device does. The rotation *around* the z-axis is refered to as "rolling" (in the upper right), while z-axis really is position.
The game however doesn't make use of this.
Ahh, maybe then - it wasn't overly clear from the video.
As for the view trackers: OK, you can turn 180degrees and walk off on the other direction... But then you've got to hold your head at a slight angle from the screen for the rest of the game, or risk turning back round! :O Zounds! I don't like this at all.

Pirates & Privateers : How to keep the sails on the masts?
Question of Lord Nelson (04.20.2016): How to keep the sails on the masts?
A: On many types of ships sails are adjusted to the yards, which are pieces of wood placed across the mast.
The exception to this is the Bermuda sail, the mainsail and sail sprit that are attached to the mast.
(Fasteners sails). In all three cases if one goes into detail, the sail is attached via rocambeau rings (3) (or rings of sizes according to the sails) that are stacked on the mast (1), or the mast rope (6) is wound in a spiral around the mast.
Halyard (2) is used for hoisting the sail down the mast, also raises the veil enhanced by its rope (4) sewn on its sides, and is attached by its Eyes-coats (5).

The collection of fishes at UMass contains 60,000 specimens in 5,121 lots. The fish collection had its first entry recorded in the 1930's for a brown bullhead catfish (Ictalurus nebulosus), collected by H. E. Warfel, but the fish collection was officially established in the 1950's by T. J. Andrews.
By the 1980’s Andrews had collected and catalogued more than 1,800 lots. Our present collection of fishes includes freshwater fishes from Massachusetts state river basins and from 20 other states. Marine fishes from the Gulf of Maine are also represented. About 4,500 lots are preserved in fluids; about 160 are cleared and stained; 800 are skeletons. A highlight of our collection is a set of skeletons of marine fishes from the Gulf of Mexico, obtained during fishing tournaments in Alabama and prepared and deposited by Professor Emeritus Wiliiam E. Bemis and his collaborators (see Bemis et al. 2004 Copeia for details).
Recently an inventory of the fish collection was completed and its records are being organized to become avalable in SPECIFY.
The fish collection data is in the process of being transferred to SPECIFY.

An American couple sits at a Paris café to order lunch. The salad looks good, so they order that…but then something happens.
The waiter looks at them confused.
He’s still confused… probably thinking, Ranch dressing? – Dressing that comes from a ranch? A dressing ranch…what does this have to do with a salad?
So they raise their voices with emphasis.
It’s obvious what they want, but why can’t the French waiter pick it up?
The problem doesn’t belong to the waiter, but the American couple. Their fluency with English, and the fact that ranch dressing is a common American condiment, makes them overestimate the waiter’s chance of understanding.
Knowledge is power, but it creates barriers to communicating. This is called “the curse of knowledge.” People with a high level of expertise have a hard time communicating with novices because they take prior knowledge for granted.
Part of the reason why people don’t read knowledge articles is because they’re hard to understand. Employees find an article, try to understand it, give up, call support, and never come back.
The people writing your articles know their stuff, but they’re writing for business users. They forget what it’s like to not have their technical knowledge, so they have a hard time communicating. This is the curse of knowledge in action, and the effect is worse than you’d think.
In 1990, an experiment conducted by Stanford graduate student, Elizabeth Newton, illustrated the effect. A group of “tappers” were asked to tap the melodies of popular songs. A second group of “listeners” listened to the tapping and were asked to guess the names of the songs. The tappers estimated the chance of the listeners correctly guessing the song was 50% (everybody knows “Ba Ba Black Sheep”). But the results said differently. Only 2.5% of the listeners were able to figure out the songs.
You may think your knowledge articles are clear, concise and free from jargon, but you can never be too careful.
A study from another Stanford grad, Pamela J. Hinds, showed that seemingly simple instructions can be difficult to understand. She asked experts at a cell phone company to predict how long it would take new users to learn and perform certain tasks from directions. Experts underestimated significantly. They guessed it would take them 13 minutes, when it actually took 33.
So you have this huge database of information that people don’t use because it’s hard to understand. What can you do?
When people search a knowledge base it’s because they have a question. A single knowledge article can contain answers to many questions. If you create one article per question, it will greatly simplify what you have.
While you’re in the process of breaking down your knowledge articles into bite-sized chunks, audit the language you use. Take out abbreviations and use terminology that is universally understandable. Use the Flesch Kincaid readability test to assess the readability of your writing. It uses sentence length and syllables per word to infer a reading grade level. Aim for 6-8th grade readability.
Keep formatting in mind. Consistency is key. If every answer looks different, employees will never know what to expect. You want to keep them comfortable. Create a template for what an answer should look like, and stick to it.
Controlling for the curse of knowledge will help get people to use your knowledge base, but it’s not the full solution. Check out our articles on “How a Stanford Ph.D. would approach Self-Service,” and “Improve Self-Service Adoption with this Simple Hack” to really supercharge your efforts.
If it seems daunting to simplify your knowledge base, check out our website. We use machine learning with human oversight to transform your articles for you. It’s then stored in question and answer format and made accessible from where employees are working.

In a Sunday presidential run-off election in Uruguay, Frente Amplio (Broad Front) candidate Tabaré Vázquez beat opposition candidate Luis Alberto Lacalle Pou by 53.6 to 41.1 percent, a vote that had major implications for the future of Uruguay’s historic marijuana regulation.
Vázquez, a 74-year-old oncologist who was president from 2005 to 2010, pertains to the same left-of-center coalition as current President José Mujica, who has made world headlines in recent years for his austere lifestyle and progressive politics, including spearheading the marijuana legalization proposal. After President Mujica’s call for marijuana legalization and a year-long dynamic campaign by Uruguayan civil society groups, on December 10, 2013, the Uruguayan parliament approved the bill, making their country the first in the world to legally regulate the production, distribution and sale of marijuana for adults.

Sander, O.; Bapp, F.; Sandmann, T.; Viet Vu, Duy; Baehr, S.; Becker, J.
It is well known that microelectronics sensitivity for radiation effects steadily increases for smaller structure sizes. Additionally lowering the supply voltage decreases safety margins even further. In conclusion modern System-on-Chip (SoC) devices, which typically come as heterogeneous multicores, can be affected by radiation effects not only in space but also in much lower altitudes or even on ground level. This is especially important for safety critical systems, such as automotive or avionics electronics. In order to cope with this issue measures during all phases of development need to be taken into account. This contribution presents and discusses techniques on architectural level, which help to detect faults on the SoC, which might be caused by (but not solely) radiation effects. Additionally these techniques have to be lightweight in terms of resources and costs as safety critical applications typically target cost sensitive markets.

As I write this, I’m enroute back to Newfoundland, after a fabulous week at the STORY! Festival in the fortuitously named Story City, Iowa. I’ll post more on that later, but in the meantime, there is one story I have to tell first.
I started off the festival telling stories in local schools, and finished up early one afternoon, with some free time on my hands. My host and local guide was the fabulous Deb Mortvedt (above left), who drove me around to the schools and then walked me around Story City’s downtown. She took me to a few of the local antique shops, and made sure I found the secret stash of free Tootsie Roll Pops in one.
As we were walking up the street towards the theatre, we passed the Great Western Bank. The door was propped wide open, and looking in, we could see that there was a table set with something that looked suspiciously like snacks.
Deb: Do you want to go into the bank?
Dale: Why, is there something happening?
Deb: I don’t know. Maybe they will give you some money.
Dale: Do the banks in Iowa just give money to strangers when they walk in?
Deb: You never know, they might!
So we walked in to the bank, which was for the most part devoid of customers. I entered behind Deb. A table was set up close to the tellers, and on it sat two cakes.
“Vanilla!” said I, making the best of the lack of pork products. A plastic plate and fork were fetched and handed over to me, and then I was steered towards the cake table.
I looked beseechingly over towards Deb for help with translation, but Deb was busy stuffing herself full of free lemonade, and was of absolutely no help to the foreigner.
I was then given a short ethnographic description of an Iowa dollar dance, where the bride dances with men at the reception, the men giving her a dollar bill to dance, as a way of raising money for the new married couple.
Bank Lady perked up at this, and sang out to a Junior Bank Lady behind the counter.
Junior Bank Lady immediately vanished in the recesses of the Great Western Bank’s vaults to check. She returned with a bag of coins, dumped out the contents, and handed it to me.
So I finished my free cake and free lemonade, said my thank-you’s, and, still clutching my free Tootsie Roll Pop, made my way out into the bright Iowa sunshine, richer by the grand sum $2.73 (Canadian).

London, 10 April 2018 - Impax Asset Management Group plc ("Impax" or the "Company"), the AIM quoted investment manager, today provides an update of the development of its assets under discretionary and advisory management ("AUM") for the second quarter of its financial year.
On 31 March 2018, the Company's AUM totalled £11.0 billion. This AUM figure includes the assets managed by Impax Asset Management LLC (previously named Pax World Management LLC), which the Company acquired on 18 January 2018.

"Since the closing of the acquisition of Pax World Management LLC in January, we have made good progress on the integration of the back and middle offices of the two businesses and on the sharing of best ideas between the investment teams."
The table below sets out further details of the movements in the Company's AUM for the quarter ended 31 March 2018.

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:44): I rise today to acknowledge national epilepsy Purple Day, held each year on 26 March. Purple Day is an important annual event, with people not only wearing purple, like you are today, Deputy Speaker, but holding local community events, fundraising and working together to increase awareness and understanding of epilepsy and the need for increased funding to support individuals and families affected by epilepsy. Last Sunday, 26 March, the Epilepsy Centre hosted a family day at the Entertainment Centre. Whilst it was a fantastic and fun day, it is important that we remember the very serious and important motives that underlie the need for Purple Day.
Nine-year-old Cassidy Megan of Nova Scotia in Canada started Purple Day in 2008 because she wanted to raise awareness about epilepsy and she wanted other kids with epilepsy to know that they are not alone. That is why, as I have been saying, we celebrate world Purple Day on 26 March. It has become an important opportunity to draw attention to the prevalence of epilepsy within our community and what we can do as a government and as a society to help those living with epilepsy. Deputy Speaker, as you know, we can do a lot.
Around 61,000 South Australians are affected by epilepsy, suffering periodic fits or seizures. The severity and regularity varies from each patient, but for many it is debilitating not just for the individual but also for their family. I have been fortunate enough to get to know young Archer and his family, who live in my electorate. Archer featured on the ABC News last Sunday discussing how epilepsy affects him. Archer is just like any young boy. He likes to play basketball and watch Star Wars movies, but epilepsy makes life for him a lot harder. Unfortunately, Archer has a lot of seizures. He has spent a considerable amount of time in hospital and regularly travels to Melbourne to see a specialist and receive treatment. Some days, he cannot go to school, and on the worst days he has to go to hospital. Sadly, Archer is not alone.
In June last year, I moved a motion in the house calling on the government to adequately fund epilepsy services. The Epilepsy Centre, led by CEO Robyn Wakefield, another wonderful constituent of mine, does a superb job providing support for people living with epilepsy, their families and their carers. You do not need to scroll down too far on their Facebook page to appreciate the enormous level of gratitude felt for the Epilepsy Centre. However, they do this outstanding work with very limited funding and, indeed, without any state government funding at all—not a single dollar.
Their main source of funding is a call centre in Prospect, which telemarkets lotteries and donation campaigns. The Epilepsy Centre is staffed by only two registered nurses and three social workers, who all work part-time. These dedicated staff work out of some of the major hospitals, but they are paid by the centre. I cannot speak more highly of the work the centre does, especially with such limited resources.
Unfortunately, the Weatherill Labor government has continued to ignore the Epilepsy Centre's request for assistance. They have continued to ignore the community's request for assistance, and they have also ignored my requests for assistance for the centre, but we are not deterred. We will continue to fight the South Australian families living with epilepsy. Without funding and without a proactive government, these South Australian families will continue to miss out on much-needed assistance and access to innovative new practices and medication.
The Victorian Epilepsy Foundation receives about $1.2 million annually in state government funding. Last year, dozens of Victorian children with severe epilepsy were recruited to participate in a medical marijuana trial. This followed a New South Wales government announcement that children with severe epilepsy could access a medical cannabis, called Epidiolex, that has shown positive results in US trials. In October 2016, a world-first trial of medical marijuana gel to reduce uncontrolled seizures for adults with epilepsy commenced in Melbourne.
South Australians living with epilepsy, like my friend Archer, already regularly visit Melbourne to receive specialist treatment that is either unavailable in our state or they face unacceptable waiting periods. If we are not careful, they will join the many thousands of South Australians who are turning their back on the state each year and decide to move to Victoria, leaving in search of better opportunities, fed up with a tired Labor government that lacks initiative and is slow to react and too arrogant to listen to those who they represent.

Astaura Interior Design Consultancy was recently commissioned to refurbish the Head Office of the UK’s leading and best-known Infrastructure and Support Services business, Stobart Group, which demanded a wide variety of Astaura’s specialist architectural finishing solutions.
The Stobart Group operates in the biomass energy, railway maintenance and aviation sectors as well as having investments in a national property and logistics portfolio, but sought Astaura’s expertise when embarking on renovating their office space and café area.
The versatility of our top quality 3M products combined with the team’s specialist knowledge enabled Astaura to transform the office’s surfaces which were all varied in size, shape and curvature.
Astaura carried out all preparatory work including furniture and carpet removal in order to fit the wraps and accommodate new designer Barcelona chairs and a Noguchi coffee table. New trunking cabling and sockets were installed behind the reception desk, the TV was relocated and the aluminum window frames, door surrounds and skirting boards were all repainted. We then re-laid approximately 240 square meters of carpet tiles and replaced the door handles with a modern brushed silver style to achieve a more modern result.
Astaura’s interior designers planned the transformation and our team of fitters expertly wrapped in 3M DI-NOC, 11 double-sided doors, a fitted wall unit, a lift (inside and out) and reception desk to create an inspiring and vibrant office space in keeping with the company’s character.
A number of wall wraps throughout the space completed the makeover, which was implemented during the course of only one weekend meaning minimal disruption to the Stobart Group’s operations and enabling world-class business to resume.

There was a cow in the barn.
It was an enemy cow.
Back in the field tent, Gunner Pitkin had had dinned into his head, by the captain, where his duty lay.
It was an enemy cow, so he had to kill it.
Gunner Pitkin was not the brightest of men, but he realised that if he used his gun to shoot the cow, the noise of the report could alert the enemy to his presence in the barn.
Back in the field tent, Gunner Pitkin had had dinned into his head, by the captain, that part of his duty was to avoid capture at all costs.
Gunner Pitkin looked wildly around the barn, seeking an instrument by which he might bring about the death of the enemy cow, but silently.
He saw a churn and a hoe and a spade.
Gunner Pitkin put down his gun and picked up the spade.
Gunner Pitkin hoisted the spade high, ready to bring it bashing down repeatedly and relentlessly upon the cow’s head.
Then it occurred to him that there lives the dearest freshness deep down things, even cows, even enemy cows.
He put the spade down.
Gunner Pitkin lay upon a bale of straw and fell asleep.
Several hours later he was captured by the enemy.
In the prisoner of war camp, Gunner Pitkin occupied his time making toy cows out of balsa wood and dough.
By the time the peace was signed on Luneburg Heath, he had made hundreds of toy cows.
They can now be found in a museum, a converted barn in a daffodil-splattered field that used to be behind enemy lines.

There are many different kinds of white collar crime. The profile of these crimes has been raised recently with a number of cases involving financial crimes that have been splashed across television and the Internet. What strikes many people is the fact that the offenders are often hard-working professionals who somehow became embroiled in activities that crossed the line between legal and illegal. If this has happened to you, then you need the services of an experienced attorney who has defended many people accused of a white collar crime, understands the legal process, and also is skilled in the use of media, publicity, and other non-legal venues to communicate your story.
The Law Office of Tanya F. Miller, LLC provides that unique collection of skills to help you reclaim your life.
White collar crimes include many different types of crimes and generally involve felony charges. These offenses fall within a special category that encompasses those acts, typically finance or business related, carried out by respected individuals with prominent professional or societal roles. Typically, these crimes involve deception, fraud, and violations of a relationship that involves trust or a fiduciary responsibility. These crimes carry with them the possibility of serious fines and lengthy prison sentences. Frequently, the individuals accused of a white collar crime have had no previous exposure to the criminal justice system as an offender, which is why it is imperative to seek legal help as soon as possible.
Those accused of a white collar crime may face severe fines and restitution, totaling in the millions of dollars, lengthy prison terms, and seizure of assets and property. The seizure is justified as reclaiming fruits of the illegal activities and may impact your family as well as you. You may face the loss of your family's home, college funds, and many other assets that will place your loved ones in a very precarious situation. Often, the prosecutors of white collar crimes have political or other ambitions. The higher the profile of the offense and the offender, the more people who crave the professional, political, and social power this type of case brings will be involved.
The nature of the investigation into white collar crimes means that the subject of that investigation often becomes aware that people are looking into their actions and transactions before any formal charges are filed. Once you have the knowledge that accusations likely have been made, it is critical to enlist the aid of an experienced attorney in order to guide you through the process, including the calling of a grand jury and the use of the media and publicity to influence the case.
There are many defenses that are effective in a white collar case. The accused may have been coerced into performing the illegal acts, lacked the capacity to prevent the inappropriate actions, or been entrapped and forcibly ensnared in the illicit scheme by law enforcement or other influential individuals. A qualified attorney also will raise the issue of intent. Although intent may not be enough to have the charges dismissed, a lack of intent to cause harm may go a long way towards limiting the fines and sentence imposed.
If you have been charged with a white collar crime, or suspect that a charge is forthcoming, in Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton, Gwinnett, or Cobb County, or any county in the area surrounding Atlanta, Georgia, the Law Office of Tanya F. Miller, LLC can help you defend against these charges.

Generally, because of security concerns, we do not sell military-specific uniform items (uniforms, insignia, buttons, braid, non-striped caps, shoulder marks, shoulder boards, etc.) to non-US-military customers located outside of the US and it's territories.
We will ship general merchandise (swords, shirts, bow ties, etc.) to international customers, subject to our subsequent terms.
For our US-military customers located overseas, we will ship your orders to APO/FPO addresses or, for non-APO/FPO addresses, only if the order is a web order from an AKO .mil e-mail account.
Because of the amount of additional coordination involved, the minimum purchase amount for an international order (other than APO/FPO) is $500 USD - except for sword/saber purchases. Orders $750 USD or more must be arranged via wire transfer.
A $30 document preparation fee will apply to any non-APO/FPO international shipment.
For international public safety organizations (police, fire, etc.), please contact us for order information. We routinely ship to public safety organizations in Canada.
We reserve the right to refuse shipment to international addresses.
Due to the variables involved in international orders, such orders require some additional communication between you and us. If the items you are purchasing are listed in the shopping cart, please submit an online order. When we receive your international order, we will e-mail you to discuss some of the specifics (shipping, payment method - unless you submitted a US credit card number in the shopping cart). If you are placing a custom dress uniform order not available through the shopping cart, as with all our custom orders, please contact us to arrange the details.
We will not be able to quote shipping until we know the items ordered, the destination, and how soon you need the items to arrive. We ship international orders by US Postal Service Global Express or United Parcel Service. After receiving your order (which will not show any shipping charges), we will contact you with the shipping rates.
Because the majority of attempted fraud comes from African nations (especially Nigeria), Marlow White will not ship to any African nation (non-APO/FPO).
Preferred payment method is via credit card issued by a US Bank. We do not add any surcharges to such payments.
Wire transfers are also acceptable (we charge a $30 wire transfer fee to cover our incoming wire costs, this will be in addition to any fees charged by your sending bank).
Bank checks are also acceptable (we do not accept bank drafts).
Payment will only be accepted by wire transfer (we charge a $30 wire transfer fee to cover our incoming wire costs, this will be in addition to any fees charged by your sending bank).
Customer is responsible for any and all duties and tariffs.

China eases, but does it stimulate?
China has cut its reserve requirement ratio for banks, which is being interpreted as a stimulus. In actual fact, the measure likely just replaces liquidity lost from reduced foreign exchange market operations, though it comes in the wake of a series of other policy stimulus measures.
Noise in the Euro area over the Greek situation continues to hum away in the background - the IMF's Lagarde says she is losing patience (economists lost patience with the political posturing some time ago). There does, however, seem to be more recognition of potential contagion risks.
The US has durable goods data, and new home sales. Both, for different reasons of course, are expected to moderate a little. Durable goods have had some moderation signalled in the sentiment measures, and new home sales have been running ahead of mortgage applications of late.

Here’s a real life instance of The Giving Tree, one of our favorite childhood books, in action.
If artificial trees aren’t your thing and you just don’t feel right using real cut trees, then consider renting a tree this year. There are companies across the country that can help.
Typically you select your tree online and they will ship and pickup the tree size and type of your choice. When you’re done the tree lives on and is ready to celebrate Christmas again with a new family the following year.
We’re looking at Living Christmas in Torrance, CA. The prices are in line with purchasing a cut tree and one major benefit is that it won’t dry out before the season is over. We love decorating early but always have a problem of fighting against dry needles. With a live tree it should stay fragrant and moist the entire season.
Here are some other Christmas tree rental companies across the country, courtesy of Apartment Therapy.
If you decide to buy a tree to re-plant, check out this tree buying guide from Sunset that will help you with your decision based on the zone you live in.

Contribution Analysis is an approach for assessing causal questions and inferring causality in real-life program evaluations. It offers a step-by-step approach designed to help managers, researchers, and policymakers arrive at conclusions about the contribution their program has made (or is currently making) to particular outcomes. The essential value of contribution analysis is that it offers an approach designed to reduce uncertainty about the contribution the intervention is making to the observed results through an increased understanding of why the observed results have occurred (or not!) and the roles played by the intervention and other internal and external factors.
Contribution analysis is particularly useful in situations where the programme is not experimental, i.e. not in trial projects but in situations where the programme has been funded on the basis of a relatively clearly articulated theory of change and where there is little or no scope for varying how the program is implemented. Contribution analysis helps to confirm or revise a theory of change; it is not intended to be used to surface or uncover and display a hitherto implicit or inexplicit theory of change. The report from a contribution analysis is not definitive proof, but rather provides evidence and a line of reasoning from which we can draw a plausible conclusion that, within some level of confidence, the program has made an important contribution to the documented results.
Determine the specific questions being addressed. Not all cause-effect questions are useful to pursue. Contribution analysis is less suitable for traditional causality questions such as: Has the program caused the outcome? To what extent, quantitatively, has the program caused the outcome? These often are not that useful because they treat the program as a black box and don’t get at the fact that there are usually many causes involved. Contribution analysis is more appropriate for contribution questions: Has the Program influenced the observed result? Has the program made an important contribution to the observed result? Why has the result occurred? What role did the intervention play? and for management questions: Is it reasonable to conclude that the program has made a difference? What does the preponderance of evidence say about how well the program is making a difference? What conditions are needed to make this type of program succeed?
It is useful to first use existing evidence such as from past related evaluations or research, and from prior monitoring, to test the theory of change. It sets out the intended results (outputs, intermediate and end outcomes). What evidence (information from performance measures and evaluations) is currently available about the occurrence of these various results? The links in the theory of change also need to be assessed. What evidence currently exists on the assumptions and risks behind these links? Which are strong (good evidence available, strong logic, or wide acceptance) and which are weak (little evidence available, weak logic, or little agreement among stakeholders)? What evidence exists about the identified other influencing factors and the contribution they may be making?
With this information, you will be able to assemble your contribution story that expresses why it is reasonable to assume that the actions of the program have contributed (in some fashion, which you may want to try and characterize) to the observed outcomes. Now you have to assess it. How credible is the story? Do reasonable people agree with the story? Does the pattern of results observed validate the results chain? Where are the main weaknesses in the story? There always will be weaknesses. Weaknesses in the story point to where additional data or information is needed.
Having identified where the contribution story is less credible, additional evidence is now gathered to augment the evidence in terms of what results have occurred, how reasonable the key assumptions are, and what has been the role of external influences and other contributing factors. Augmenting evidence can include the collection of additional, new data such as from surveys, field visits, administrative data, focus groups, national statistical data, etc. as well as the synthesis of evidence from other research and evaluations.
With the new evidence, you should be able to build a more substantive and so more credible story, one that a reasonable person will be more likely to agree with. It will probably not be foolproof, but the additional evidence will have made it stronger and more plausible.
There is a reasoned theory of change for the intervention: the key assumptions behind why the intervention is expected to work make sense, are plausible, may be supported by evidence and/or existing research, and are agreed upon by at least some of the key players.
The activities of the intervention were implemented as set out in the theory of change.
The theory of change—or key elements thereof— is supported by and confirmed by evidence on observed results and underlying assumptions—the chain of expected results occurred. The theory of change has not been disproved.
Other influencing factors have been assessed and either shown not to have made a significant contribution or their relative role in contributing to the desired result has been recognized.
Reducing uncertainty about the contribution the intervention is making to the observed results.
Inferring causality in real-life program evaluations.
Confirming or revising a programme’s theory of change – including its logic model.
Risks and assumptions are labelled as [O] over which the intervention has no or very little influence, or [I], where the intervention can (should) have an influence, direct or indirect, or [C] where the intervention should be able to directly control.

Wouter is right. You just need to build a decent theory of change model of the causal relationship, which of course may be a challenge!

Two new wine vessels throw a few curves into the glassware category.
Air It Out: Pouring wine into a decanter rapidly exposes it to oxygen. Aeration improves the flavor of tannic young red wines, many dry whites, and vintage ports.
Cellared Wines: Decant older wines gently, taking care not to include any sediment. Pouring so the wine slides down the decanter walls will let you spot sediment in the stream of wine so you can stop pouring.
Young Reds: Glug the bottle roughly into the decanter one hour before you’re ready to drink it. Let it splash to soften the tannins.
Two distinct bends in these handblown crystal glasses created by Austrian designer Thomas Zichtl set them apart from the rest.
$70 at Kneen & Co.
The second bend in the glass denotes a full pour, and the rounded bottom helps the wine “move more harmoniously in a conical shape” as you swirl to better aerate it, says Zichtl.
Austin Bridges, the sommelier behind Enoteca Nostrana in Portland, Oregon, considers the stem a pedestal for your wine. “Think about smelling and examining a flower without a stem,” he says. The long stem also gives you more control when sipping from the glass.

NANAIMO — In the eyes of many, Harmac Pacific pulp mill was as good as dead.
Ten years after its previous owner went bankrupt, the employee-owned operation in Duke Point is thriving and has “no plans to go anywhere,” according to mill president Levi Sampson.
He said analysts didn't think a group of employees and investors could scrape together the money to survive, never mind excel for a decade.
“They said this employee-owned model didn't stand a chance, it wouldn't work. Guys and their families were silly to invest $25,000 each, especially since they've been out of work for so long,” Sampson told NanaimoNewsNOW during a company barbecue on Thursday to celebrate the 10-year anniversary.
Sampson said the list of challenges was long and at times daunting: a global economic meltdown in 2008, securing necessary capital to upgrade the mill, and proving they could be a reliable supplier to their customers around the world.
Sampson said Harmac is benefiting from an efficiently run, upgraded facility and high staff morale. He said workers with skin in the game go the extra mile and sick days are sharply reduced from the previous regime.
He said $200 million worth of upgrades and $20 million in municipal taxes have been paid to the City since they assumed control of the mill in 2008.
He said a long-term contract with BC Hydro to convert the mill's wood waste to power an equivalent of 17,000 homes annually provides a “significant amount of money,” which helps offset the ups and downs of the pulp industry.
Wayne Hamlyn, retired Harmac mechanical project coordinator, was one of hundreds who showed up at the company barbecue.
Hamlyn didn't think Harmac had a future when previous owner Pope and Talbot went out of business.
Hamlyn, who had a 45-year forestry career before retiring in 2016, knew Harmac was profitable.
He was part of the original group of employees who invested and was one of the few involved in re-starting the mill's operations.
“That's what made it, knowing they were there. Otherwise if it was all a green crew with people from the outside I never would have done it."

As far as the exam requirements are concerned there is nothing surprising about the fact that your four basic linguistic skills will be tested. There is a fixed sequence of the skills tests. Reading goes as the first one, then listening follows, then writing and eventually speaking. In each part the examinee should show his/her proficiency in English, but how we are marked for our performance depends on the assessment criteria and the assessors’ evaluation. Fortunately, the assessment criteria are not a mistery any longer.
The assessment criteria introduced to Polish examination boards are very simple and clear. For each part of the exam you can receive 20 points in total. Many people are familiar with that number of points to get, however, not many know that the total number of points you are awarded consists of four components (applicable to so called productive skills only). For each skill there are different components which are subject to evaluation during the exam.
4) organisation – max. 2 points.
4) interactive ability – max. 3 points.
If you fail any of the productive components, you cannot pass the whole skill part of the exam. E.g. you can get 6 points for writing accuracy, 6 points for lexical range, but you failed in task achievement and you got two points for organisation. The total number of points is 14, theoretically it still is the pass mark, but since you didn’t achieve the overarching goal of your task, you are not given the credit for your writing. To make things worse, to pass the components you are required to fit your performance into so called ‘top band‘ or ‘pass band‘. It means that in case of grammatical range and accuracy you have to obtain at least 4 points out of 6 available in the rating scale.
good fluency, hesitations to order ideas but not in search for lexis.

Takers of April 2013 Chemical Engineer (Chem Eng) board exam may find here results as PRC and Board of Chemical Engineering released list of passers and performance of schools in 1 working day from the last day of exam.
PRC named 205 out of 438 new Chemical engineers.
Examination was set by the Board of ChemEng in the city of Manila particularly on Manuel Luiz Quezon University (MLQU) in Quiapo, Manila.
The 3-day examination covers physical and chemical principles, chemical engineering principles and general engineering, ethics and contracts.
Last November 2012, 426 out of 777 passed the exam with results announced in just one day. Same scenario with April 2012 exam, 199 out of 383 passed the board.
For November 2012, Franz Adrian Lo Sy of De La Salle University - Manila lead passers with 84.90% rating. On the other hand, University of the Philippines - Diliman announced as the top performing school with 91.75% rating.
For April 2012, only top 4 places were announced by the commission. John Russel de Sagun Canoza of University of the Philippines - Diliman topped the board with 83.50% grade. None of the schools qualified for the top performing school status.

Established in 1989 Bergen-based Seaproof Solutions designs and manufactures advanced cable protection systems (CPS), bend stiffeners and restrictors, flexible and retrofit J-tubes and pre-terminated cable covers predominantly for the global offshore wind sector.
The company’s unique and patented fibre technology cable protection systems provide environmental protection at the foundation entrance where cables are exposed. Recognised as the market leader for CPS the company was the first to introduce diver-less removable cable protection and has successfully delivered more than 1,500 systems to offshore wind farms around the world.
Taking a proactive approach to the concept of levelized cost of energy (LCOE) Seaproof is working on the next generation of cable protection systems to ensure offshore wind remains a competitive component of the energy mix in the medium to long term.
In 2018 Seaproof Solutions was acquired by Balmoral Offshore Engineering, a UK company specialising in subsea buoyancy, elastomer and insulation products. The synergies of this acquisition effectively doubled Seaproof’s production capacity making the company stronger and more flexible allowing it to provide turnkey packages covering analysis, support engineering, product development, product certification, etc.

BBM Stickers selling surprisingly well | BlackBerry Blast!
BlackBerry decided to monetize BBM for iOS and Android by selling stickers to its customers. The BBM app is free, but BlackBerry is up selling customers with fancy stickers. Many questioned the move when it was announced about a week ago, but the results are in, and they're doing surprisingly well.
BBM stickers are essentially fancy emoji icons to be used in BBM. A pack of 25 stickers cost $2 and it looks like that pricing structure is working. According to Forbes, BBM Stickers has rocketed up the App Store's charts in South Africa and Asia. BBM is #3 on iPhone Social Networking app chart measured by revenue generation for South Africa and South-East Asia. Asian sticker giants LINE and WeChat are at #22 and #37. That's impressive.
Will sales hold up for BlackBerry or is this simply early curiosity? Nobody knows at this point, but it's a nice launch for BBM. BlackBerry can use all the revenue they can get!

The Petri mathematical theory was developed in the GFR in 1962; Petri diagrams are graph representations of functional processes governed by logic. The following examples are given: an automatic block section, controls for points and crossings with ancillary instruments such as decision tables, and hierarchy procedures. The article explains how these can be used in studying signalling projects.

aspTuneTracker enables you to show to other people what music you are listening to at the moment in Winamp and other players.
Requires ASP/VBScript, a directory the webserver can write to, and minor knowledge of ASP/VBScript.
Create a directory on your webserver to use for storing the logfile. The webserver (IUSR_*) needs to be able to write to this directory.
Edit tunetracker.class.asp and set the trackDirectory to the directory you just created. Edit other settings to your liking.
Copy the files from the zipfile to somewhere in your webpath (for example a directory called /asptunetracker in the root of your website).
Get the Do Something plugin and install it.
Go into Winamp's preferences (control-P), look under the Plugins - General Purpose, highlight DoSomething, then hit configure (follow the next steps exactly because the DoSomething plugin has a crappy UI).
Find the "Actions" drop down, change it to "Submit A URL"
Be sure to then click the "Add ->" button to save it to DoSomething's list of things to do when playing mp3s.

All of our curtains are made to measure with a choice of linings and headers, making each pair as individual as you are.
And supplying the curtains is only part of what we offer. We also supply high quality curtain tracks and curtain poles, with the latest electrically operated tracks being made in our own factory. Add to this a full range of accessories including cushions, throws, tiebacks, pelmets and valances and you have everything you need to finish any room all under one roof.
Pencil pleat header gathers the top of the curtains to spread the fullness of the curtain across the whole of the window.
Pinch pleat is the ultimate in decorative finishes for curtains, where individual pleats in 3’s are sewn into the top.
Don’t hang beautiful curtains on poor tracks and poles! Instead pick a pole or choose a track that is well made.
Add the interior design look with matching cushions, tiebacks, throws, pelmets and valances to compliment your curtains.
Add the interior design look with matching cushions, tiebacks, throws, pelmets and valances to compliment your curtains. All made to measure, why not add one of these to the bed or the sofa to tie your design together.
Are your curtains made to measure? I have large windows that I cannot buy ready made’s for.
Yes, all of our curtains are made to measure for both the width and the drop.
How long do curtains take?
It depends upon our workload, but generally we can deliver them in around 2 to 3 weeks. But if you are in a rush, give us a call and we will always see if we can rush them through for you.
What is ‘fullness’ with regards to curtains?
The fullness of curtains is how much extra fabric we add to the curtains to give the nice wave when the curtains are pulled up. For instance, if your track or pole was 4ft wide, we would make the curtains 8ft wide and then pull them up to 4ft to give a lovely luxurious look. Fullness can vary from style to style, with pinch pleat being slightly more full, and eyelet finish slightly less.
Do you offer a make up only service?
Yes we do. The fabric needs to be of a decent quality otherwise because the quality of the fabric often influences the quality of the finished products, but yes we are happy to make up from your own fabrics. Also we are more than happy to advise how much fabric you need for a job.

I like to think of my articles as philosophical treatises in rant form. 🙂 Because really, the ranting is just the tone of the argument (for damn good reason), but the points are beyond mere outrage and frustration. I believe that I challenge the root assumptions which undergird Reformation theology/neoCalvinism, as well as other Platonist schools of thought.
Epistemology is simple: it is the study of how we, that is, human beings, know what we know. It is rooted inexorably in metaphysics, which studies the nature of human existence; from a philosophical perspective, it looks at the question (and the pursuant inquiries which it naturally begs) “What is man?”. If the answer to that question is a shrug or a mystery, man cannot logically claim an efficacious epistemology; it is impossible. If man has no relevant meaning, then he cannot be certain of ANYTHING at all, even his own existence, because irrelevancy cannot by definition breed truth…what is irrelevant has no efficacious objective, and such an objective is required for truth to exist.
Epistemology is a DIRECT function of man’s metaphysic. Therefore, if man is nothing, lacking any relevant definition (as seen in the Reformed Christian hermeneutic, for example, particularly in the doctrines of Total Depravity and Original Sin), then he, by definition, must know nothing, as knowledge is a direct extension of man’s existential, essential SELF. If man cannot answer the question “What is man?”, then he by logical extension cannot answer the question “What does man know?”. This should be obvious, and I think it is for most of us. Put simply, if man isn’t man, then man cannot know anything, because there is no one to know anything in the first place.
This basic contradiction (that man is NOT, and yet is somehow aware) is a big problem for many schools of thought, not just Christianity and other religious credos.
For example, science, and especially physics, claims that the material universe is a product of laws of nature which “govern” the existence of everything, and which manifest themselves in mathematical theorems, fondly thought of by many scientists as the “language of the universe/the heavens/the cosmos/God”…this last one being a particularly egregious presumption. If God speaks in Math, then who do you think his priests are?
Notice the pattern? Those of you familiar with the tyrannical machinations of Reformed theology (Protestantism) will recognize it almost instantly. The language of the Cosmos (translated “God” by the scientific determinist, or as I call them “fake atheists”) is that which only a few very gifted people (divinely called and revealed upon proxies), usually haunting the stuffy rooms of trendy universities, are privy to. Thus, they are the ones who get to stand in “God’s” stead and command the power and nature of truth, which is reality, for everyone else.
Anyone who thinks science is somehow absolved by its”objective” and “observable” and “testable” methodologies from flawed and irrational philosophical assumptions is sorely mistaken. No one gets to claim ownership of man’s body and mind by appealing to some kind of divine revelation or external-to-man causal power, ever, no matter how many numbers they can add in their head, ivy league institutions bearing their class rosters, articles and theorems boasting their names, and no matter how many supercolliders they have helped construct. And if they attempt to do this, you can be sure that any argument they make for their epistemological claims–their claim to “know what they know is true”–is going to be rooted in a false metaphysic, which makes the claim patently false and rendering an explanation of it entirely superfluous. And further, history bears out the fact that the assumption that “God/the cosmos/the language of the heavens” reveals (as opposed to teaching) knowledge to a specific group of men for the purposes of leading the unwashed and blind masses into right thinking and behavior always leads to despotism in the end if it is allowed to run its logical course by the support and succor of a complicit government which wields the authority of force (violence).
When science claims that man’s body and mind–which are singular in their existence; there is no distinction between man’s material SELF and his consciousness…both are the IS of man–is a function of outside-man’s-existence laws of nature, it falls prey to the same contradiction in terms which spawns every other despotic world view. Making it, like them, nothing more than mysticism materializing into, as John Immel so perfectly puts it, a cult of death. If man is a direct function of a law of nature which exists outside his material SELF (his body and mind), then man has no rational claim to himself. That is, he has no definition for SELF except: that which is NOT him; that is, the laws of nature which govern (determine) his very material being.
You see, the laws of nature do not merely organize the material universe into its coherent (observable) components. If indeed they are causal in their power and their purpose then they must be directly responsible for the very existence of the material itself, which makes the material universe’s existence a direct extension of the laws which govern, with no rational distinction to be found between the two entities. Which means that the material universe IS the laws of nature, according to Argo’s Universal Truth Number One: Anything which is a direct function of an absolute is the absolute. If we say that the laws of nature merely organize the material universe into its various components, then the natural implication is that the very existence (existential being) of the material itself is not dependent upon any law of nature which governs it. This means then that the supreme ROOT of why everything forms the way it forms and does the things it does and interacts the way it interacts and causes and effects what it causes and effects is NOT the laws of nature but the very root BEING of the material, which does not exist because of a law but because, and only because, and for no other reason, than it is what it is. Period.
We cannot have our metaphysical cake and eat it too. We cannot claim a rational existence which is a direct function of some external law or laws of nature and then declare that we are not, in utter existential and material actuality, those very same laws of nature, and absolutely so. There can be no rational interaction of these two absolutes: laws which govern, and material which is. For absolutes, being infinite, cannot co-exist, by definition. If the law(s) absolutely govern, which science indeed argues it/they do/does, then it must govern the material universe’s very existence, which means that the universe has no SELF to its material essence; has no actual root IT to itself. It then literally is nothing more than the law itself, period. Full stop.
Likewise, using the same logic, if the material itself exists because it is what it is…meaning that its existence and being are a reality because IT is ITSELF, absolutely, then there is no way to logically attach a law of nature outside of it, to it, in order to claim that its existence is governed by this law. Existence of the material itself is absolute, which precludes any causal relationship with any law to govern it; there is no actual thing, object, entity, agent, or whatever else which can be the source of its existence, because its very existence is absolute in its SELF. It needs no law to govern its interactions; it merely needs an observer to make abstract conceptualizations which describe how these material objects interact in order that the observer can define these conceptualizations as TRUTH, using himself as the singular frame of reference for their practical and efficacious application (applied to promote the existence of him SELF) and thus, by logical extension, declare himSELF as the only rational standard of what is TRUE.
And so this is really what science’s “laws of nature” are; they are nothing more than part of a cognitive conceptual framework which is expressed in theoretical mathematical proofs. Man creates these proofs in order to articulate the relative movement of objects he observes; a sort of sheet music for the universe. They aren’t the universe itself, but they allow human beings to create (organize) an environment to serve an efficacious purpose (the human SELF), without having to re-invent the wheel every time we turn around. The same way a musician can take a piece of sheet music and play a song, a scientist can take a series of mathematical proofs and construct something out of his material environment. But these proofs are not what CREATE the material environment any more than sheet music is what creates the movement of air particles which strike your eardrums in a specific pattern. They are not causal. The air particles, and the substantive objects from which science creates tools or technology or buildings or guns or telescopes already existed before the music was ever written down or the mathematical proofs ever developed. Thus, material, actual objects (which includes man) are not there because of laws of nature; they are there because they ARE. Which means that the singular source and root of everything they do, and how they interact with man and other objects IS their very existence; and this is from themselves. They exist because they have the inherent ability to do so. Period. Not because of some outside, invisible “law” or “language” of the cosmos.
Now, the hypocrisy then of scientists (fake atheists) who demand that the universe is a product of abstract laws which somehow cause its actual existence can be seen in how this exact same thinking applies to Christianity.
For the same reason science has no rational answer to the question “What is man?” because it concedes that man is nothing more than an extension of the laws of nature which govern, making man a direct function of what is NOT man, Christianity has no superior alternative metaphysic. Indeed, the difference in the core philosophy between science and Christianity is purely semantic. It is literally nothing more than a few different words .
By declaring man totally depraved at the root of his existence (which is why they deny man’s volition, even though some are liars and some are ignorant and deny this) what they, the modern day “orthodox” apologists, are really doing is making a metaphysical argument, and not, as they assume, an epistemological one.
Almost every Christian denomination declares in their Statement of Faith than man is totally depraved. This is known in Calvinism/neo-Calvinism as the Doctrine of Total Depravity. They declare that man is blind to the truth of God because he refuses to believe…where “refuses” is a euphemism for “can’t”. In other words, people believe the wrong things instead of the right things. But it is not the belief in the wrong things which is the cause of their depravity (which then would not make it TOTAL), but precisely the opposite. They argue that it is man’s total depravity which causes him to believe the wrong things. You see, wrong belief is a symptom of depravity, it is not the cause of it, which is precisely why those who accept this doctrine must deny man’s free will. Wrong belief does not cause actions…wrong belief comes AFTER depravity in the causal chain of events. It is in man’s nature to believe the wrong things (nature, meaning metaphysic) and thus do the wrong things. It isn’t the belief that drives man’s choices and actions…which are then sinful. No, no, no…for that would make man at his existential, material root innocent, and his sin thus a function of what he chooses to believe and thus chooses to do as a manifestation of that belief. This is something no self-respecting Calvinist (contradiction in terms; Calvinists deny SELF) will EVER concede. It is man’s depravity–his “sin nature”–which determines absolutely his beliefs which then determine his actions. Remember, in the Augustinian/Lutheran/Calvinist construct, which is 99% of all Christianity (basically every Christian who has not yet realized that they’ve been exploited and lied to for most of their spiritual lives), there is no room for any choice at all, except as an obfuscation of the doctrine; and this for purely manipulative reasons…or out of ignorance. You believe what you believe and do what you do because you ARE totally depraved, which is the same thing as saying you ARE total depravity itself, as if total depravity is an actual, material essence, which presents itself to the world as MAN…as YOU. The simple meaning then of this entirely false doctrine is this: YOU…your very material self is absolutely defined by your depravity. Therefore, there is no essence of you, no root material YOU, flesh and blood, at any level, which is not governed by your depravity. Making your flesh and blood literally a direct extension of the concept of depravity; again, as though depravity IS an actual, tangible, material thing.
Is any of this sounding familiar? We just talked about it a few paragraphs ago.
YOU are governed by your depravity. THAT is the doctrine of Total Depravity, and why this doctrine is the salient and destructive seed of Calvinism’s utterly evil and anti-Christian theological assertion. There is no YOU in the existential equation. You ARE depravity, period. The control in which “law of depravity” wields over your material SELF (mind and body) is absolute, and infinite, and thus, there can be no distinction between you and depravity. There is NO place where depravity ends and you begin, or vice versa.
See the theme here? It is exactly the same root philosophy of the mighty physicist. You can’t be YOU because the very notion of an actual YOU which exists independently and autonomously implies that there is something which is not in fact governed by the law of depravity. And if that is true, then depravity is not absolute…is not total. If you are you, then you are not governed by depravity. You are you, and that, not depravity, is the root and causal source of you. Yourself is not of depravity but of your SELF. Which means that the SELF is what is absolute, which means that depravity does not govern because it cannot actually exist. It, like the laws of nature, is purely conceptual; a product of man’s mind. For if YOU are absolute, then there can be no causal entity or agent or force which controls you. For only one absolute cause of something can exist, and absolutes cannot be reconciled, by definition. What is infinite cannot be bounded to or caused upon (in the non-conceptual sense) by something which it is NOT.
Now, unfortunately this is a hard fact for most Christians to swallow. Even those who deny Total Depravity will not accept it because, though they might not like the idea that man cannot actually choose to sin but instead must sin, they still feel the need to believe that man is not inherently capable of being a direct function of himself…that is, his own cause (you can thank science, in part, for this). So, instead of Total Depravity they appeal to “God’s Sovereignty” as the metaphysical substitution. Man can choose, but only because God let’s him.
You see, even though you aren’t totally depraved, you are still utterly bound and restrained in your will and very being by God’s “Will”, and by this they mean that everything that happens and exists is manifest as a direct function of God’s choosing…God’s choice, never man’s.
This is nothing more than a regurgitation, with the requisite semantic differences and euphemisms, of the exact same philosophy of scientific determinism found in the declaration of laws of nature which govern, and spiritual determinism found in the despicable doctrine of Total Depravity. Perhaps it is a kinder and gentler form of the same idea, but it is no less destructive. And is only kinder and gentler in ostensible demeanor, perhaps, but not in force and not in violent outcome when the rubber meets the road.
No need to reiterate all the points; I’m sure you can make the connection by now. If all is controlled by God, then there is no component of YOU which ever gets to be YOU apart from God’s absolute control. God’s control is absolute, thus there can be no distinction between your SELF and God’s control, which means that YOU don’t really exist, but are a mere extension of God’s absolute Will; because there is NO place where God’s absolute Will ends and YOU, not controlled by God, begins. Such a place doesn’t exist, which means that all of YOU is nothing more that God’s Will, period.
Do you understand how this metaphysic–you as a direct function of NOT you–destroys epistemology? The easy logical connection is: if you are not really you then you cannot make any claim to know anything. It really is nothing more complicated than that. If man isn’t himself, because he is a direct extension of some other absolute causal force, then everything man claims to know is a lie. An illusion. There is no “How does man know what he knows?” in the absence of man defined by way of rational metaphysic. And NOT MAN-as-man is NOT a rational metaphysic.
The common and altogether despotic political fallout (politics being another key tenet of philosophy…how man interacts with other men based on his metaphysical and epistemological assumptions) is manifest usually in an oppressive collective (like the theo-marxist neo-Calvinist church), and this occurs when these aforementioned faulty and irrational metaphysical and epistemological notions give rise to the necessary assumption that: TRUTH and GOOD is not learned but is revealed (we discussed this a little previously in this article). Revealed by what? Why, the Primary Consciousness which is said to be the absolute source of everything (in Calvinism’s case, “God”), but which only a few priests, having received their “special revelation” of truth, have been “called” to represent, as Its proxy to the rest of us, of course. And when you present with the audacity to utter criticism of their authority, your disagreement is declared proof that you have not been called to have the “wisdom” and “knowledge” (the gnosis…for this IS Gnosticism) that your rulers-in-the-stead-by-way-of-divine-revelation are privy to.
And so what to do with such a rascal?
Well, what is the easiest way to deal with people who can offer no logical claim nor rational argument for the presence and efficacy of their own physical existence as legitimate, autonomous SELVES?
Why, you FORCE them, of course. And if they still refuse compliance, you murder them in service to the “absolute truth” which is, after all, outside of them, and yet utterly IS them.
And without an answer to the question, “What is man?”, who is really getting hurt anyway?
PS: As far as the roots of neo-Calvinism and Calvinism…have you checked out Paul Dohse’s blog paulspassingthoughts.com? He is all about that. He is the expert, and no article of mine could compare to the volumes Paul has written on the subject.

Please unpick this gem from a popular teacher in the charismaniac movement. Sorry there is no context, but this kind gentleman doesn’t seem to bother either.
My pleasure. That’s my next post. Already have the outline. Thanks!
Can you tell me the name of the despot who uttered that abomination?
Bill Johnson is apparently the most benign and benevolent of the super-apostles of the New Apostolic Reformation.
It seems that there would need to be a presupposition that “any and all” self will is wrong/bad/evil and “always” leads to emotional gratification which seems to have a presupposition of wrong/bad/evil attached to it as well.
So is getting a drink of water considered emotional gratification caused by self will and justified sin? (I was parched, needed a drink, got it myself, felt really good drinking it.) Who gets to decide which self willed-self gratification (which we do a lot in our lives to simply survive) is sinful? The church lord?!?
And what does “a persons awareness of God’s heart” mean? Especially if one is totally depraved to begin with.
It sure is. And even more, it’s founded upon principles which make the entire argument irrelevant. It is rooted in a categorical denial of an efficacious SELF of humanity…meaning, man as an existential actuality. You are not you, YOU ARE DEPRAVITY. As though depravity were not merely a concept (which it is, and a bad one), but a material object which has causal force and manifests itself in an image of YOU.
If man has no actual self for a frame of reference by which he is able to know anything at all, because he cannot be defined as a distinct volitional agent with his own mind, because his entire existence is utterly a function of DEPRAVITY, then he can neither be “aware of God’s heart” nor have a “self will” to “gratify”. By definition.
There exists no real person to carry these things out.
It’s chaos, completely exclusive of reality. It is likewise madness on top of evil.
yes. Everyone is trying to be like Piper now. It is weird, They try to sound “profound” and people buy into it! but it does not make sense.
Piper is the master of this sort of quote and look how popular he is. Yes, chaos. It is actually quite scary.
I can tell you who originated this abomination: The Augustinian/Calvin/Kantian Axis of Evil.

Hi friends! And, um, happy new year? January just flew right by without me even noticing that I hadn’t shared any cards with you all month! Let’s correct that right now!
I made this card for the current challenge over at Lawn Fawnatics, where the theme is “lots of love”. I’ve been dying to use the You Are Sublime stamp set for a long time and I think it’s kinda perfect for this theme, don’t you?
I really wanted to play up the depth so I made a tall card. I trimmed a piece of Arches cold press watercolor paper to 3.5″ by 8″ and taped it down to a board with painters tape. I stamped my images using VersaFine in onyx black, starting with the diver because it anchored the scene.
I used mostly Gansai Tambi watercolors, with a few colors from the AlteNew watercolor palette, to paint the scene. I created a gradient for the water, using a deeper blue with a more saturated brush for the lower portion and gradually diluting with water as I went up. I dropped in some other shades of blue and aqua for interest. Then I painted in the smaller details of the scene once the ocean was dry. I went back over the deeper bits, as the blue dried back a bit lighter.
Once the paint was dry, I stamped my sentiment with Versamark and heat embossed it with Brutus Monroe powder in Alabaster. I removed the tape and trimmed the watercolor panel slightly to remove the white edges. Then I trimmed a piece of white card stock to just slightly taller and wider (when folded) than the panel. I scored it in half lengthwise and used craft foam to mount the panel onto the card base.
Now to find an envelope for this beast!
This is so so gorgeous! What an amazing scene!
A tall card for your tall Valentine! This turned out so cute, Wendie! Lots of depth and detail to boot! Super cute. I loved seeing your card last weekend and crafting with you.
I am a craft and art enthusiast. My first love is knitting, but a blog about languishing WIPs is hardly interesting. I started making cards about a year ago (and about ten years after I gave up on scrapbooking). Being creative is my outlet and my zen. Monkey and Oliver are my cats and craft buddies.

Although he has received medical clearance to return to the court, San Antonio Spurs star Kawhi Leonard is instead opting to continue his recovery from the right quadriceps tendinopathy that has cost him most of the 2017-18 NBA season.
Wojnarowski’s report came the same day Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich cast doubt on Leonard returning at any point this year. Popovich said he’d “be surprised” if Leonard plays again between now and the end of the season, citing how little time is left in the regular season for the two-time All-Star to get ready for the playoffs.
Leonard didn’t make his 2017-18 debut until the team’s 95-89 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Dec. 12. He played in nine games before the Spurs announced he’d be out indefinitely to continue his recovery from the quad injury.
In January, Wojnarowski and ESPN.com’s Michael C. Wright reported the Spurs’ handling of Leonard’s injury had been a source of consternation and “had a chilling impact” on the relationship between the team and Leonard.

Cord Douglas of Goldstein Douglas Entertainment is pleased to announce that they have acquired the rights to distribute the popular Canadian Television Series “The Travel Guys”. Goldstein Douglas Entertainment will be representing the series at MIPCOM in Cannes this October, 2012.
“The Travel Guys” TV show is more than a travel information program; it is funny and personality driven. Jim Gordon and Darren Parkman helm the series and travel the world providing viewers with insight on both popular and undiscovered destinations; including tips on how to get there, where to stay, and what to see, all with a healthy dose of humor. Now in their 9th season, the show airs weekly in over 15 million households in Canada. They are very excited about their opportunity to work with Goldstein Douglas Entertainment and bring their show to an even wider audience. The Travel Guys have filmed over 100 destinations in 50 different countries including Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Caribbean, China, England, France, Hawaii, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Thailand, U.S.A. and the annual Film Festival in Palm Springs, California.
They have interviewed the biggest stars in the world – including Clint Eastwood, Leonardo DiCaprio, Helen Mirren, and Brad Pitt – and have experienced strange adventures, like: betting on coconut-plucking monkeys in Northern Malaysia; tumbling down a steep hill inside a giant ball, all for a sport New Zealanders call “zorbing”; petting a panda bear in Xian, China; drinking Guinness while singing songs with locals in a 500 year old Dublin pub, Ireland’s oldest; seeing the stunning sites 50 feet below the water’s surface while skidubing in Borneo; climbing above the clouds; snorkeling along the Great Barrier Reef in Australia; dressing as samurai warriors in Osaka, Japan; and enjoying a true Bellini at its’ birthplace, Harry’s Bar, Venice, Italy. All in a days work!
