Humanism of course excludes itself from the dogmatic religious crowd, and seeks to fulfil the widespread demand for an alternative to dogmatic religion. It will do this by supplying people with another dogmatic religion (if not religion then ethical framework) and imposing it on others.
For example, take the belief that ‘morality is an intrinsic part of human nature.’ This means that humans are essentially and basically good. This is taught all throughout the education system and is one tenant of humanist indoctrination. Is it true? I leave it for you, but I think the Bible gives a far more realistic account to the state of the human heart; see Jeremiah 17:9 and Romans 3:9-19.
Christianity recognises that reliable knowledge of the world and ourselves arises also through revelation from God. If reliable knowledge arises from observation, evaluation and revision then its not really reliable is it?
The purpose underlying most (if not all) creative expressions is communication. Art is a vehicle for a message. When you start to value the form, and not the message that lies behind the form, then art becomes mere mindless entertainment; a distraction to personal development rather than an aid. Is fulfilment reduced on humanism to amusement? Take from art its purpose and society will transform into a mindless mass that is far too easily manipulated.
Christianity affirms the value of art and artistic expression by imbuing the artist with purpose, answering the deep existential questions of life; by affirming the artist is created in the image of God and is therefore a creative agent; by supplying the artist with a message, inspiration and talent; and by infusing the world waiting to be captured and mirrored by great works of art, with a sense of the sublime. Naturalism on the other-hand finds beauty an awkward notion. It is difficult to see why an apes brain would appreciate the aesthetic pleasure from a morning sunrise, the star-filled sky and or the frozen waterfall.
If human existence transcends the death of the body, then obviously humanism is not for everyone everywhere. Humanism become bankrupt if this life is not all there is or if there is a God. Besides this, based upon the refutation of points 1 through 6 it is not obvious humanism does supply an ethical and rational means of addressing the challenges of our times.

Do you wonder if you just use drugs or, rather, that you abuse drugs? Has someone close to you made a comment about you use of alcohol, cocaine, painkillers, or marijuana (or commented more than once)? This book’s purpose is to help you determine whether or not you’re progressing towards full-blow addiction or not. And it provides suggestions for how to turn things around before things get really ugly.
The purpose of this book is to stop kind-of-bad behavior before it becomes really bad behavior—bad for you, your health, your job, and those in your life who care about you. Almost Addicted explains how to navigate the spectrum of addiction, explaining the differences between a potential, emerging would-be drug use problem and a devastating drug problem already in full motion.
And if you’re asking these questions on behalf of someone else—wondering about your spouse or sibling’s drug use—this book will also help answer those questions as well. It will help you sort out the difference between a potential problem and less worrisome occasional drug use.
Why stop using drugs if I’m not actually an addict?
Why do I feel like my spouse has a drug problem, but I can’t exactly pinpoint it?
What are some signs that a person is using drugs?
Am I medicating my anxiety with marijuana?
How do I stop my drug use from slowly turning into full-blown addiction?
Part 1 A Problem Emerges from the Shadows discusses why almost-addiction is a concern and why we should care about a pre-addiction even if it’s not yet full-blown—think of it as preventative care. The authors very clearly differentiate between what a real, full-blown addict acts like and what someone who may be almost-addict acts like, making it easier to identify where on the spectrum of addiction one may presently fall. It also discusses why disengaging from being almost-addicted to substances is a good idea.
Would you have more money to spend on necessities or luxuries?
Would you do better at work?
Would you have more time to devote to hobbies?
Would any anxiety and depression you experience improve?
Is your drug use a source of tension or arguments with your wife, husband, or partner?
Does drug use eat into the time that you could otherwise be spending with your children?
Do you use drugs as a way to avoid family responsibilities?
Part 2 The Roots of Almost Addiction delves into the impact of the past on one’s present life and the correlation between mental health issues and drug use/abuse. The authors smartly point out that often times certain medical conditions may also be in play – and discuss how to navigate that double-sided coin. Those who suffer from types of depression, ADD/ADHD, trauma, as well as other challenges to the mind are more likely to struggle at some point with substance use/abuse.
Part 3 Catching and Confronting Almost Addiction in Others explains the warning signs for spotting drug use/abuse, as well as how to handle your response to the discovery of the other person’s drug use. It discusses the importance of protecting one’s self emotionally, financially and physically from the drug user, such as disengaging from taking part in the cover-up, denial, and recommends focusing on your own health and well-being, including enlisting the support of others.
Part 4 Solutions for Your Almost Addiction offers some smart tips for creating a life that’s full, rather than full of holes, in the absence of drugs. One chapter in particular, Time for A Change: Helping Yourself, is so very practical that it really could be the topic for a very useful follow-up book on how to recreate a life after stopping drugs. It explains how switching-up your daily routines can support your avoidance of drugs, as well as how to come up with a list of your “triggers,” so that you can proactively avoid being triggered. Essentially, having a plan for how you’ll engage your mind, body and spirit in the absence of drug use means you’ll…have a plan! No plan = misery. Does this mean new friends? You bet. At the end of the day, will you care about having ditched those people? Not one bit.
I have just one criticism of Almost Addicted. I so, so wish that the section on Solutions for Your Almost Addiction had been emphasized and placed before the section Catching and Confronting Almost Addiction in Others. The book’s order of chapters subtly suggests that focusing on others’ addictions should come before focusing on one’s own, and I feel the reverse is true. It’s most productive to focus first on one’s own potential addictions — you know, put on your oxygen mask first, then help your fellow passengers.

As students live the process, they become more aware of their strengths. We should create a network of experts within a learning community.
While students' make, design and do --- they build upon their skills. If they know their own strengths and the expertise that surrounds them within their network or community, they can contribute in positive ways. Building confidence may encourage them to trust themselves in moments of uncertainty.
Yes! Building on strengths is key! Such an important concept to follow through on. How much time is actually provided for students to recognize and express their personal strengths? Would love to see how this idea could develop further!
My overnight train from Varanasi departed at 5pm so I spent the morning in my air-con room, and the afternoon twiddling my thumbs beneath the fans of the Hotel Buddha restaurant. Once on the train, I chatted briefly with Laura (France) who mistook me for someone she had met in SE Asia.
I didn't sleep as well this second time, so it was a nice surprise to receive what seemed to be a reasonable quote for a rickshaw ride to Taj Ganj, the tourist area directly south of the Taj Mahal. The first view of India's iconic mausoleum resulted in another “wow” moment for me. After checking out a few hotels, I settled on a room in the same place as Laura and Dan (England). Strong winds whipped up sand, and rain soon followed, thus postponing our plans for a rooftop dinner overlooking the Taj at sunset.
The paint was peeling off the ceiling in my hotel room. At first I saw it as a charming detail, however after waking up the next day in a bed covered with flaking paint, I found it less appealing. I also learned that a vent in the wall does not constitute air-conditioning.
Wow, I can’t wait to read your post about Taj Mahal. I’m already impressed with the photos!
Hopefully it wasn’t lead paint!!
Yeah, I was amazed at how the cheap backpacker style accommodations had amazing rooftop views of the Taj Mahal. Try and and find that around the Eiffel Tower, Empire State Buliding, or Big Ben!
Wow impressive pictures of the Taj. Any plans to go to Golden Temple in Amritsar?
Hey Stefan…there are SO many places I’d like to go in northern India that I don’t think I’m going to go to any – just head for SE Asia as time is a tickin’.
Places I’d easily come back to see in just northern India include: Amritsar, Chandigarh, Manali, Leh/Ladakh, Rishikesh. And that doesn’t even touch the rest of India.
Ugh, peeling paint!!! We lived in El Shito Appartmento when we were in Chicago (before we left the landlord was fined and forced to close at least one of his apartments by the city!) and the paint on the pipes over our heads regularly flaked off as the water condenced on the outside of them and dripped onto our bed. We’d have moved the bed but the room was too small!
At least you won’t have to be tehre for long!
Colorado Construction Litigation: Lessons learned from a recent trial. Be careful about the evidence you are creating.
Lessons learned from a recent trial. Be careful about the evidence you are creating.
I recently had the opportunity to represent a general contractor in a trial, defending against claims both of construction defects and of delay related damages. Ultimately the case settled during the trial and we were able to achieve a favorable result. Looking back on the trial, what stayed with me was the troublesome evidence introduced by the claimant, not related to the alleged construction defects, but related to the delay related damages.
Blown up on a 4' by 6' poster board for use during opening statements and throughout the trial was a copy of an article printed in my client's internal newsletter recounting the difficulties on the project and, specifically, how those difficulties resulted in delays and cost overruns. What made this especially problematic was that the article's author engaged in a certain amount of exaggeration and hyperbole in order to make his points. This was very compelling evidence and posed an almost insurmountable obstacle when trying to refute the claims for delay related damages.
The purpose of this blog post is not to suggest that companies should not learn from their mistakes, even if that means publishing an article in an internal newsletter. In the long run, I think that it is of utmost importance that companies learn from their mistakes. What I am suggesting is that companies should be careful in the manner in which they communicate, even internally, about those mistakes. The lessons to be learned from an internal newsletter would be no less valid if the article is published after the active or anticipated litigation is resolved. To the contrary, the lessons may be better received if the article is also able to include a description, not only of the mistakes made, but also of the ensuing dispute and its outcome. Regardless of when such an article is published, it is of paramount importance that it be absolutely and completely accurate in the description of the facts. It is exceedingly hard to defend against such evidence at the time of trial by arguing that the author engaged in exaggeration and hyperbole.
Be sure to learn from your mistakes, but do not repeat those reported here.

Users who gave Attendify a negative review said that their target event attendees were initially hesitant to download the event app. Some of them reported issues with downloading graphics that do not display correctly on mobile devices.

They are off and running. Also, their staff are great at getting back to you. If you have a question, you will usually get an answer the same day, often times within an hour.
I just wish we knew about Attendify sooner.
Attendify takes an apparently overwhelming task, such as building a conference application, and makes it simple! The interface is simple and simple, without the need for coding. In the time it takes to publish a blog in WordPress, you can create an application with Attendify.
I have very few cons on Attendify, but some of our assistants came to ask me about the possibility of adding their own events along with the events in the application.
We are a non-profit association. Many of our assistants are also speakers. It would be nice if your personal profile and speaker profile could be connected.
This software has seemed to us to be one of the most reliable, as well as easy and has a well-designed design, it does not strain your eyes nor is it a headache to experiment with it.
We like the product as it is, it has no defects, in fact it is very complete and although at first we complained about the technical support that we did not like from the beginning, we have already been able to leave this thinking aside.
From the beginning we did not like technical support, which was the only thing we would have liked to know before we started using the application but now they have improved their customer service.
We love how good our event apps are at Attendify! We have used the product for three years and every year we received such great comments about our application. We also love how simple it is to configure and use.
It has been difficult to explain the registration process to new users. Some attendees are still skeptical about the use of an application during the conference. Some do not want to install software on their phones and have opted to use the version of the website, which could use a little more functionality.
It has all the features we need and it is extremely easy to configure and maintain. They have a great documentation of help and customer service. They keep in touch with me as a customer and are eager to hear new ideas.
