How students are getting spooky this Halloween while still staying COVID-19 safe – The Elm Skip to content Saturday, September 24, 2022 Responsive Menu About Get Involved Subscribe The Elm The Student Newspaper of Washington College since 1930 Search Search Home News Opinion Columns Letters Sports Lifestyle Student Life Advertising Meet the Press Home 2020 October How students are getting spooky this Halloween while still staying COVID-19 safe Student Life How students are getting spooky this Halloween while still staying COVID-19 safe October 22, 2020 Katy Shenk By Emma Russell Student Life Editor This year, Halloween falls on a Saturday and with a full moon in place it was going to create the perfect spooky atmosphere. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 people are unable to go to parties, go trick-or-treating, or even just spend the holiday with their friends on campus. This hasn’t stopped the Washington College students from trying to make the best out of this spooky time of the year. Sophomore Regina Del Pilar is planning to host a Skype call with some of her friends from campus to watch the film “Coraline.” “I’m gonna force my friends to watch it, and I think Halloween is the best time to do that,” Del Pilar said. “Coraline” is a famous stop-motion animation movie about a young girl who when she moves into a new home, finds a secret door that leads her to the Other World, a world that mirrors her own. Despite the colorful surroundings and the seemingly nice Other Mother, Coraline discovers the horrors lurking there and must escape back into her world. “I’m a really big fan of stop-motion animation,” Del Pilar said. “That one scene in Coraline where the garden comes alive, I just think that’s really beautiful and such a complex thing to do, since it takes so much time in stop motion.” “If I was dressing up for Halloween I was going dress up as Coraline,” she said. Freshman Matt Brader said, “For Halloween I’m planning to be my neighborhood’s worst nightmare, a gay.” “I really wanna get one of those Halloween witch dresses and then I really wanna have some sort of rainbow crop top underneath,” said Brader. “I wanna wear my pride flag as a cape and just walk around.” Brader’s neighborhood does not have many kids so his plan is to make little goodie bags full of candy for the trick or treaters, a smart way for children to still enjoy Halloween while still being COVID-19 safe. “I’ll just watch from the entrance of our house in my witch costume,” Brader said. “I might also try to get a Halloween costume for my dog and do a fun photo shoot with him if he actually listens to me,” Brader said. Brader has a 10-year-old dog named Max who for Halloween will be dressing up as a circus ringleader and assisting Brader on the spooky night. Senior Jake DiPaola reminisced about his past Halloweens and said, “every Halloween since we [his high school friends] didn’t really go trick or treating anymore, we got our enjoyment out of making people poop their pants out of fear.” “Now we have a system that’s very low budget but high scare potential,” DiPaola said. The pathway leading to DiPaola’s front door, where somebody would be sitting with candy to hand out has a wall of bushes to the right of it with his lawn on the left. “We had somebody dressed up, whole body covered… and a mask of a scary clown with their hood pulled over so it’s really hard to tell if it’s a real person or a scarecrow laying flat on their back on the lawn,” he said. “You see the person on the lawn, their job was to do nothing, they didn’t jump out and scare anyone. They were just there for the fear and anticipation. So while people walked down the pathway, looking to their left at the scary clown, we had somebody dressed in all black on their right, hiding in the bushes. So while their attention was drawn to the clown somebody behind them would jump out.” “The final knockout after the one-two punch that we had was as they left, and they were all joking around that’s when the clown man popped up. Yeah it was a fun complex little scare team,” DiPaola said. Such scare tactics aren’t as viable now due to social distancing guidelines so instead the “scare team” had to find something else to keep them busy. “On Oct 30 our plans are to watch ‘The Mandalorian’ which is gonna be great. We’re probably gonna make some soft pretzels and chips, and watch a couple of episodes,” he said. “The Mandalorian” is a “Star Wars” spin-off TV show that is available to stream on Disney+. The first season is out and available to watch now, and the second season premiers on Oct 30. DiPaola and his boyfriend are also planning to dress up for Halloween. They plan to dress up as the main protagonists of the roleplaying game Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2. “We’re gonna craft [the main protagonists sword] out of Styrofoam and wood, maybe paint it and shove some glow sticks inside of it and call it a day,” said Dipaola. Even though Halloween is looking a little different this year due to COVID-19 there are still ways students can have fun with their friends this spooky season.

Magic camp helps treat children with hemiplegia, that causes paralysis on one side of body
Updated
A boot camp for budding magicians aims to make rehabilitation fun for children with hemiplegia.
Hemiplegia is a form of paralysis on one side of the body. In most children under two, it is a form of cerebral palsy but it can also be caused by stroke or some other trauma either before, during or shortly after birth.
The condition means a simple task like tying your shoelaces can be tricky for children.
But it no longer seems such an enormous challenge for Ella Korlaki, 8, now that she can magically repair a piece of rope after slicing it in half.
"It's helpful, it's educational and it's fun," Ella said.
Ella is taking part in the first magic camp run by the Arts Health Institute, an Australian charity using the performing arts to help those with health needs.
Some of Australia's best magicians are working alongside occupational therapists, teaching close-up magic tricks to the young participants.
Her family hopes Ella's newly acquired sleight of hand will help her use both hands more effectively, and boost her confidence as well.
"It's wonderful that she has increased confidence and resilience, which will help her later in life," Ella's mother Judy Korlaki said.
Another young illusionist, 10-year-old Richard Moir, plans to perform his own one-man magic show for family and friends at home in Canberra.
"It's been life-changing for him," his mother Alison Moir said.
Like Ella, Richard finds tying his shoelaces and getting dressed a daily challenge.
"On the first day (after magic camp), he was coming home and doing things for himself that he would have asked us to do even a day before," Ms Moir said.
Teaching magic as a form of treatment
Overseas statistics suggest hemiplegia affects about one in every 1,000 births.
Most kids with hemiplegia attend regular schools but can find getting dressed, brushing their teeth or using the toilet difficult.
The idea of teaching magic to kids as a form of treatment is the brainchild of British organisation, Breathe Arts Health Research.
It incorporates scientifically assessed exercises in a range of magic tricks and was first trialled in the United Kingdom six years ago as an alternative form of rehabilitation.
In Britain, children who attended the camp were using both hands for 25 per cent of daily tasks.
After the camp they could use both hands for more than 90 per cent of tasks.
"We thought the very fine motor skills, the hand and arm movement required to do close-up magic would actually be a perfect fit," said the managing director of Breathe Arts Health Research, Yvonne Farquharson.
'Therapy by stealth'
Arts Health Institute magician Bruce Glen says the camp is essentially "therapy by stealth".
"They don't realise how far they're advancing," he said.
Jackson Love, 8, cannot wait to show off some of the magic he has learned, including a trick involving a sleeping genie in a bottle.
"When I started I couldn't use my right hand but now I can," Jackson said.
His mother Tracy Love says aside from impressing his siblings, Jackson is now holding everyday objects with two hands.
"They call it the amazing magic camp and it's amazing for so many different reasons," she said.
As well as the weakness on one side of their bodies, children with hemiplegia often suffer from low self-esteem.
'They realise the impossible is possible'
But learning and performing magic can help that too.
"We see children presenting themselves more clearly, speaking loudly," Ms Farquharson said of the program.
"We had a little boy in the summer in the UK who was the most softly spoken child ever.
These children, a lot of their life, have been told things are impossible. But we shift that mentality because they realise the impossible is possible. Yvonne Farquharson
"He was actually reasonably functional with his hemiplegia but he had extreme confidence issues.
"By the end of the camp he was standing up tall."
For the families of the first Australian children to take part in the program, developing these skills has many benefits.
"These children, a lot of their life, have been told things are impossible. It's impossible to use that hand and arm, it feels impossible to be good at this or be able to do that," Ms Farquharson said.
"But we shift that mentality because they realise the impossible is possible."

This week Google released their health dashboard app Fit for android phones. You might recall that Apple too recently announced a similar product called Healthkit. While both products are still in their infancy, it is great news to finally have a central location for all of my fitness and data tracking. The beauty of these services is that I can go for a Run or Bike using Strava, weigh myself via Withings Body Scale, and have my steps tracked via my phone, all to view right in the app.
This is what I’ve been hoping for for over a year now, even before I first got a fitbit and started quantifying my life. Going into multiple apps gives an incomplete view requiring either self calculation in Excel or dare I say the dreaded hand calculation.
So what’s the problem with Fitbit?
Fitbit thinks my data is theirs. Like so many companies in the past, Fitbit handles their products in a “walled garden” approach. This means your data that you’re forced to upload to their dashboard from their products is not freely shared among other applications.
From a company standpoint I get it, my data (along with everyone else’s) is their most valuable asset. For all I care they can keep my data, but after shelling out $100 for a Fitbit and $130 for a Fitbit Scale, the only mention of data export is in an Excel file, at the cost of an additional $50.
So with Google Fit coming along, I desperately hoped they would allow integration. At least if I can’t take my data with me, they can let me link to it elsewhere right? Wrong.
Official response from Fitbit was that they didn’t want to endorse Health as a platform until fully mature. Wait, did I read that correctly? Their primary industry, Health, is one they don’t want to endorse until mature.
You know what I think? Fitbit is scared of losing business to smartwatches and step counters built straight into phones. They’re so scared they’re clutching to our data to force us to stay walled in.
Eventually Fitbit will either die or come to the same conclusion as Social Networks, even if we use your products, our data is ours. You can analyze my data, you can sell my data (anonymously), but as soon as you prevent me from using my data elsewhere. Well, you’re interfering with the very market you’re trying to sell, Health Information.
So I’ll make a promise to Fitbit. Either give my patients freedom with their information, or I will never recommend another one of your products. Plain and simple.
Be good to each other.

REUTERS/Rick Wilking/Files (UNITED STATES - Tags: BUSINESS)
Walmart is facing some tough times. The world’s largest retailer on Thursday announced its third straight quarter of falling same-store sales, an important measure of any chain’s well being.
There are lots of reasons why fewer shoppers went to Walmart, dragging the metric down 0.3 percent this time, and those who turned up spent less. Some customers seem to be taking their business to dollar stores in search of even lower everyday prices. Some are frustrated because Walmart doesn’t always have enough workers to keep its shelves well stocked. Others are feeling the effects of payroll tax increases. Consumers are also hesitant to buy what they don’t necessarily need because they’re still anxious about the economy and their jobs. And then there was the government shutdown.
It doesn’t look like things are going to get much better for Walmart—or its shoppers—any time soon. Even as the retailer begins what it calls its “best holiday plan ever,” it also said that it expects same-store sales over the season to be “relatively flat.”
“We have robust plans in place to help our customers save money this holiday season,” Bill Simon, the head of Walmart U.S., said in a recorded call. “While we’re somewhat encouraged by the momentum coming out of the third quarter, we know the customer continues to be challenged by ongoing uncertainty around healthcare costs, the payroll tax increase and recent SNAP reductions.”
Let’s take a minute to consider the last bit of Simon’s statement. SNAP is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—otherwise known as food stamps—covering some 47 million people as of July. On November 1, food stamp benefits were reduced after the expiration of a temporary increase put in place by Congress in 2009. More cuts could come as Washington looks for ways to shrink the federal budget.
Walmart, it turns out, is a big beneficiary of the food-stamp program. Almost half of all redemptions are in big-box supercenters such as Walmart and Target, according to Bloomberg Industries, and in all Americans spent about $73 billion worth of food stamps last year. If Walmart received one-quarter of that, the amount would be about $18 billion. Walmart didn’t respond to a request for comment.
It seems that just a month ago, Walmart wasn’t worried about the reductions in food stamps; in fact, the giant retailer figured it could actually benefit. “Price will become more important” as food-stamp recipients have to buy more food with their own money, Simon told analysts on October 15. “And when price is more important, we’re more relevant. And so, we’re preparing for that and planning for that. How it turns out, we’ll keep you advised.”
Looks like we’ve just been advised. | positive |
Self-described “conservative feminist” Christina Hoff Sommers delivered a speech outlining her primary objects to contemporary feminism. Item one: “Today’s movement takes a very dim view of men.”
And here is the problem with the play and with the gender feminist* philosophy that informs it: Most men are not brutes. They are not oppressors. Yes, there are some contemptible Neanderthals among us, and I have no sympathy for them whatsoever. But to confuse them with the ethical majority of men is blatantly sexist.
In the video clip (but not in the transcript), Sommers is more over-the-top in defining feminists as male-haters, going so far as to express pity for boys whose mothers are feminists.
I’d like to see a serious discussion of male-bashing in feminism. Unfortunately, Sommers’ treatment of the subject isn’t serious. She cites one, and only one, source to show that “the gender feminist philosophy” considers “most men… brutes”: Eve Ensler’s play The Vagina Monologues.
But The Vagina Monologues isn’t a non-fiction essay. It’s a play about women’s experiences surviving rape and abuse. That’s not the sole subject of the play, but — just after the importance of women loving their bodies — it’s the primary theme. Complaining that a play about the abuse and rape of women has too many abusive men in it is unreasonable and unfair.
There is a positive male character in The Vagina Monologues, a man who so loves vaginas that he teaches his girlfriend to love her own vagina. Sommers dismisses this character entirely, for the transparently ridiculous reason that the character is describes as being bland on first meeting (although he later proves to be an unusually great lover, because he loves women’s sex parts so much). It’s hard to respond to Sommers’ argument, because it’s not even an argument; it’s just an irrelevant statement. He is a positive character; he doesn’t mysteriously cease being a positive character because he seems bland at first, or because he loves vaginas.
In this speech, that’s Sommers’ only evidence that contemporary feminism considers most men brutes — in one popular play about rape and abuse, many but not all of the male characters are negative. I find that evidence underwhelming.
Note what Sommers doesn’t include: A single recent quote from a feminist leader saying “most men are brutes.” If this is indeed the common viewpoint of contemporary feminism, I’d think that Sommers would be able to find a dozen such quotes easily; yet Sommers doesn’t provide even one.
* * *
Sommers’ case is ridiculous, overstated, and the “evidence” she introduces is embarrassingly weak. But I’d like to consider the question of feminist hatred of men a little bit more.
In the comments at Feminist Law Professors, David Cohen writes:
I strongly contest her theories about feminist hatred of men. For the past two decades, I’ve now been a very outspoken feminist man on three very different university campuses, within one prominent feminist legal advocacy group, and as a frequent blogger on this blog. With the advocacy group I worked for for 7 years, I worked with many other feminist legal advocacy groups. In none of these settings was I ever once treated in any way that made me feel that the (mostly all, but not exclusively so) women hated me or men generally. They (as do I) hate men who do bad things to women (and other men). But, there is no general hatred of men. Sommers’ claims to the contrary are just wrong. In fact, I often found (and still find) myself in a position I didn’t want to be in — being praised for my feminist work because of the work but also because I was a man. I appreciate the first part of that but feel like the second part is wrong-headed and unnecessary.
That seems right to me. I can’t claim to have worked as much with feminists as David Cohen; but I’ve been a women’s studies major, occasionally volunteered for feminist causes, and virtually all my friends for the past 20 years have been feminists. And, with one exception, my experiences have been similar to David’s. If man-hating is so pervasive in contemporary feminism, why don’t men in feminism encounter it more?
Furthermore, in my experience, feminists are more likely than non-feminists to be supportive if I say men are screwed over by sex role expectations; that the targeting and bullying of wimpy boys is a real and significant problem (non-feminists are more apt to respond “boys will be boys”); that being cut off from feeling free to express ourselves emotionally does real damage to men; that men who go into traditionally female fields like child care are unfairly looked at with suspicion; and so on. Again, with one exception.
That one exception is, the internet. Years ago, on Ms Magazine’s feminist bulletin board (this was in the dark ages, before blogs even) I met a handful of self-proclaimed radical feminists who’d say genuinely man-hating things: men are biologically inferior to women, all men consciously plot to keep all women in fear of rape, and so forth. These women were a minority of posters on the Ms boards (and a minority among the radical feminists there), and many other posters objected to these statements.
Nonetheless, these bigoted, anti-male views do exist among a small minority of feminists, and ever since the Ms Boards I can no longer say I’ve never encountered any genuinely man-hating feminists. But to claim that such views are the dominant philosophy of contemporary feminism is nonsense.
It’s also through the internet that I first encountered men’s rights activists, also known as MRAs. MRAs, of course, are extremely sympathetic to the idea that boys and men are being harmed by contemporary sex roles — but for many, their sympathy is exclusively for males. Their is a tone of bitterness and hatred in how many MRAs discuss women and harms to women, very similar to the way some feminists on the Ms Boards discuss men and harms to men. The difference is that those feminists are, in my experience, a small minority among all feminists; but a huge portion of MRAs exhibit rage towards towards women in general and feminists in particular.
* * *
There’s a more subtle form of sexism against men that I think is much more common than the “men are mostly brutes” mentality that Sommers criticizes (but provides no examples of). In the last 20 years — and due, in my opinion, to the growth of the MRA movement (which was itself strongly influenced by Sommers’ book Who Stole Feminism?)– too many feminists have developed a knee-jerk resistance to discussions of how sexism harms men.
This is understandable. After a hundred conversations with MRAs, feminists have learned that when someone begins talking about how men are harmed by sexism, they’re often leading up to the anti-feminist conclusions that women have nothing to complain about, and feminism is a morally terrible movement. Concerns about harms to men are sometimes use by MRAs to crowd out discussion of harms to women. Feminists, frankly, have become defensive, and in some cases have circled their rhetorical wagons.
But although this is understandable, I also think it’s unfortunate. Men are harmed by sexism, and although I wouldn’t want that point to crowd out discussions of harms to women, it should be part of the spectrum of issues feminists discuss.
(*Although Hoff Sommers uses the term “gender feminist,” which she coined, she never defines the term in the transcript of her speech. (In the video, she says she uses the term interchangably with “victim feminist.) For more about the term “gender feminist,” see this series of posts. Although she wouldn’t put it this way, in practice Sommers categorizes all feminists who aren’t libertarian conservatives as “gender feminists.”)
To allow intra-feminist discussion, comments on this post on “Alas, a Blog” are limited to feminist and feminist allies only. However, the cross-post at “Blog By Barry” is open to feminists and non-feminists.

Share. Reacting to all the news stories about a disguised prop of George Bush's head being used in a decapitation scene, HBO pulls "Fire and Blood." Reacting to all the news stories about a disguised prop of George Bush's head being used in a decapitation scene, HBO pulls "Fire and Blood."
A few days ago we (and, like wildfire, every other entertainment site) reported that, due to lack of props, a replica of George Bush's head was used in the Game of Thrones Season 1 finale, "Fire and Blood." The factoid was revealed via audio commentary this past February when the Season 1 DVD/Blu-ray set came out, but for some reason it all became huge news two days ago, despite the fact that they dressed the head in a wig and faced it away from the camera.
Now, after releasing an official apology on Wednesday night, Deadline reports that HBO has decided to pull the entire episode from all digital distribution, including HBO Go and iTunes. Also, the shipping of Season 1 DVD box sets have halted.
From HBO: "We were deeply dismayed to see this and find it unacceptable, disrespectful and in very bad taste. We made this clear to the executive producers of the series who apologized immediately for this careless mistake. We condemn it in the strongest possible terms and have halted all future shipments of the DVDs, removed it from our digital platforms and will edit the scene for all future airings on any distribution domestic or international. | positive |

It matters to men like Pro Bowl tight end Julius Thomas of the Denver Broncos, whos up for a big pay raise and could be facing a franchise tag himself after the upcoming season. The Saints gave Graham the franchise tag for about $7 million as a tight end, the position hes been listed at for his entire four-year career -- and which he himself lists on his Twitter account. Graham contends that because he more often is split out away from the tackle, he is really a wide receiver. And, after all, he did lead the league with 16 touchdown catches last season. That franchise tag is worth about $12.3 million. The sides stated their cases in an arbitration hearing earlier this week in Louisiana and are awaiting a ruling from arbitrator Stephen Burbank. Thomas is understandably interested in the outcome. "Ive kind of been keeping ... an eye on that situation, obviously, because it could probably come back to affect a lot of us tight ends," said Thomas, who is scheduled to make $645,000 this year. "But the way I feel about it is, Does two letters next to your name on the depth chart really determine your value to a team?" When it comes to franchise tags in the NFL, it certainly does. The Saints note that Graham made the All-Pro team and the Pro Bowl as a tight end and was drafted as a tight end. Graham points to the 86 passes he caught for 1,215 yards last season -- numbers any wide receiver would envy. "Does it matter if hes a tight end, or if he calls himself a slot receiver or a running back?" Thomas said. "I mean, if youre going to have double-digit touchdowns and contribute a bunch of yards in the receiving game, I just say that youre a guy that makes great plays and are a value to your team. So I dont know why the argument necessarily comes down to either youre a tight end or a receiver. I think that if youre a guy that makes plays, thats how you should be valued." Its because top-tier wide receivers make much more money than the games best tight ends. "Thats true. So I guess thats why its a topic," Thomas said. "But Ill say again: I think if youre a basketball player, they wouldnt say, Ah, youre a power forward. Really look out for those point guards. So I dont think that the position matters. I think if youre a guy making plays for your team, then that should be your value." Denver general manager John Elway has opened talks with representatives of both Thomas and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, who are entering the final year of their respective rookie deals and would like any deal to get done by the start of training camp next month. Demaryius Thomas, who has two dozen TD catches since Peyton Mannings arrival and was the lone bright spot for Denver in the Super Bowl, figures to command around $60 million over five years after putting up back-to-back stellar seasons that vaulted him to elite wide receiver status. Yet, it was Julius Thomas who was the key to Denvers record-breaking offence last season. The 6-foot-5, 255-pound late-bloomer was a matchup nightmare for defences and the bulls-eye for many of Mannings biggest moments last season when he earned his first Pro Bowl honour. He caught the quarterbacks 51st TD throw that broke Tom Bradys single-season record, one of his dozen TD receptions that broke Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpes team record for tight ends. And he came up huge in the Broncos two wins that got them to their first Super Bowl in 15 years. Broncos coach John Fox said the tight end position has evolved over the years to the point that "its like another receiver" rather than "an offensive tackle lined up to block."

Watch Michigan State vs. UConn live on TSN with coverage starting at 1pm et/10am pt. Led by American Athletic Player of the Year Shabazz Napier, UConn has been playing above the No. 7 seed it earned in this tournament. The Huskies knocked off third-seeded Iowa State (81-76) in the Sweet 16, following a 77-65 upset of second-seeded Villanova. They are now attempting to reach the Final Four just three years removed from their surprising run to the 2011 national title. The Sweet 16 battle between Michigan State and Virginia was as advertised, with the fourth-seeded Spartans surviving with a 61-59 victory. The win was the sixth straight for Tom Izzos club, which includes their run to the Big Ten Tournament title. The Spartans are back in the Elite Eight for the first time since 2010, which was also the last time they made it to the Final Four. The 2010 trip to the Final Four was the second straight for MSU, which actually defeated UConn (82-73) in the 2009 semifinals before falling to North Carolina in the national title tilt. These teams have met twice since, with UConn winning both times to pull ahead in the all-time series, 3-2. The winner this time will take on No. 1 overall seed Florida in the Final Four next Saturday. UConn dominated in the first half and then held on in the second to pull off the upset of Iowa State. The Huskies led by as many as 17 points and shot 52 percent for the game, while holding scoring edges from both 3-point range (27-18) and the free-throw line (20-6). DDeAndre Daniels (13 ppg, 5.dddddddddddd rpg) came up big in the win, controlling the paint with a team-high 27 points to go with 10 rebounds and a pair of blocked shots. Daniels is clearly the most productive performer in close to the basket for the Huskies, who rely more on their talented backcourt. At the forefront of that game plan is Napier. The 6-foot-1 guard, who was a freshman on the 2011 national title squad, leads this years team in scoring (17.9 ppg), assists (4.9 apg), rebounding (5.9 rpg) and steals (1.8 spg). Ryan Boatright (12.1 ppg, 3.4 apg) and Niels Giffey (8.4 ppg, .514 3P percentage) provide depth and offensive punch out on the perimeter. After trading leads during the first 38 minutes of action on Friday, Michigan State was tied with Virginia at 51-51 with 1:49 to play. The Spartans then got a 3-pointer from Adreian Payne and a dunk from Branden Dawson to take control of the game, as they held on by hitting 5-of-7 free-throws in the final minute. Dawson compiled 24 points and 10 rebounds, and Payne had 16 points in the win over Virginia, as the frontcourt tandem powered Michigan State not just in that key stretch, but the entire game. The rest of the team managed only 23 points on 7-of-19 shooting. Leading the charge offensively is not a rare occurrence for Payne (16.5 ppg, 7.2 rpg), who is second on the roster in scoring, but getting such a productive effort from Dawson (11.4 ppg, 8.3 rpg) was a surprise, considering he is more of a complementary scorer. To defeat the Huskies, the Spartans will need better play from their key backcourt contributors -- Gary Harris (16.6 ppg) and Keith Appling (11.4 ppg, 4.5 apg), who combined for a mere eight points against Virginia.

Curtis Hanson, director of L.A. Confidential and Wonder Boys, died yesterday. He slogged through the Hollywood system to get his voice heard.
A handsome man with a thin face—young, unknown Guy Pearce—excitement barely masked by a gung-ho professionalism and ferocity, tells a cop that no one is to walk through the front door of the diner next to him. The fresh-faced detective opens the door to the diner with a handkerchief, noticing an eerie quiet first, and then the food still simmering on the fry cook's stove top. The score rumbles and shakes. Something is wrong here. The camera slowly pans across the abandoned lunch counter and locates the dead cook, a gun next to him on the floor. The cash register's been emptied. The detective tiptoes down the hall, discovering bloodstains on the wall and the floor. Someone's been dragged into the back of the restaurant. Piano starts nervously ascending and descending. Everyone knows what that sound means: This peppy, brusque film noir has become a horror movie. The detective pushes past one door into a back hallway before locating the men's room. Handkerchief in place, he shoves the lavatory door open, revealing blood spray all over the wall, five bodies on the floor, and lots more gore pooling on the dirty tile beneath.
Hanson should be a lesson to every young filmmaker who doesn't know how she'll be able to break into the business.
It's in this moment that L.A. Confidential changes polarity. Only a director with a knack for horror and thrillers could ever have orchestrated this scene with such confidence. Only a born filmmaker could slip it in as an act break, as a counterpoint to the breezy tone he established in the first half hour of his satirical crime story, and not lose momentum. Only Curtis Hanson at that moment in his career could have made a film this perfect.

Indeed, Hanson knew a thing or two about horror movies. After dropping out of high school in the '60s, he worked as a photojournalist and editor for Cinema Magazine, an experience that brought him face-to-face with the filmmaking process. He started writing movies in his spare time, intending ultimately to direct, but knowing no one would take a chance on a self-taught kid with no credits to his name. American International Pictures got wind of the young Hanson's writing and hired him to adapt the H.P. Lovecraft story The Dunwich Horror, a production overseen by Roger Corman. Hanson made good enough with Corman to convince him to distribute his debut feature, 1972's Sweet Kill, after Corman split from AIP to form New World Pictures. The film, starring Tab Hunter as a lady killer, performed poorly at the box office; Corman had Hanson shoot additional sex scenes and retitled the film The Arousers. That didn't help much, but it did give Hanson a fair idea of what to expect from the industry: Art mattered not at all when there was money on the line. The Arousers debacle was to be only the beginning of Hanson's misadventures just south of Hollywood.
"The Arousers gave Hanson a fair idea of what to expect from the industry: Art mattered not at all when there was money on the line."
His next film, God Bless Grandma and Grandpa, a darkly comic horror thriller about the elderly using the bodies and blood of the young to live forever, was taken out of his hands when the production company, LT Films, went under. The film was sold to another producer, who handed it off to a new director. By the time the film was completed, it was called Evil Town. If you've never seen it, it's well worth tracking down— its dramatic arrhythmia is stunningly wonky and it features one of the strangest performances by a professional actor in the history of cinema, Dean Jagger. (Will Braineater tells the full story as well as anyone could.)

Hanson was undeterred by the boondoggle. He continued to write while looking for the next directing gig, eventually rebounding with the kiddie action film The Little Dragons and a script for a film that has since become something of a cult item among crime aficionados, 1978's The Silent Partner. In it, a bank teller catches wind of an upcoming heist and secures some of the loot for himself in advance. It's a classic film noir set-up and far more telling of Hanson's sensibility than the films he directed in the '70s. Hanson's directorial beginnings should serve as an object lesson to most young filmmakers: it took him nearly a decade to find his footing, but he never stopped trying. In fact, honing his writing actively helped him to become a more focused and disciplined director. The compositions and visual language of his early films all hint at someone who might later become great, but had much room to grow.
Hanson's directorial beginnings should serve as an object lesson to most young filmmakers: it took him nearly a decade to find his footing, but he never stopped trying.
Hanson kicked off the '80s by directing the film Losin' It (starring a nearly fetal Tom Cruise) and helped write the Carroll Ballard film Never Cry Wolf and Samuel Fuller's White Dog. Writing White Dog transformed Hanson, bringing him back to the classic Hollywood films he once studied at Cinema Magazine by giving him the opportunity to work with one of its luminaries. Like Hanson, Fuller worked with low budgets and came from the world of journalism. Together, on matching typewriters no less, they wrote White Dog in 18 days. It's a fierce little film—one of Fuller's last, thanks to the firestorm of controversy that greeted its release—and Hanson's movies get noticeably tighter and more dynamic following the experience of making it.
'White Dog'Credit: Paramount Pictures The next movie Hanson made, the 1986 film The Children of Times Square, has stylish camera work, purposeful, emotional close-ups, and a real attention to detail. Hanson tightened up the mise-en-scene to show off the production design and art direction as well as the performances from his cast. Its story of a suburban kid who runs off to the big city and falls in with drug dealers feels right out of the Sam Fuller/Nicholas Ray playbook. It may have taken him more than a decade, but one of Hollywood's finest craftsman had finally found himself.
Hanson brought maturity and sturdiness to the nightmares he presided over.
Hanson this up with a series of lurid, beautiful thrillers, whose reputations may improve posthumously. The Bedroom Window, Bad Influence, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, and The River Wild have less than auspicious reputations, but Hanson's images remain solid and intelligent, his rhythm patient and adult, and his plots a perfect mix of the absurd and the too-real. Hanson brought maturity and sturdiness to the nightmares he presided over. Thrillers today could learn a thing or two from the way Hanson used the camera to trust and his support actors as well as lend weight to his occasionally ludicrous plotting. Always displaying restraint and control, he knew that by taking his audience's intelligence for granted, they'd take the ride with him.
Isabelle Huppert in 'The Bedroom Window' Credit: De Laurentiis Entertainment Group 1997's L.A. Confidential is where Hanson enters the pantheon of legends. Every so often there's a film that represents a perfect fusion of artist and text—The Maltese Falcon, The Godfather, Chinatown, and Alien are a few examples of stylists given the gift of the ideal vehicle for their talent. L.A. Confidential is just such a minor miracle. With it, Hanson returned to the Los Angeles of his childhood, a place of faded glamor and burnt laws, and treated it with the dignity of his best image-making. His craft excels. When shooting conversations, he moves from high to low angles to indicate the power of each participant relative to one another. The sound design is a thing of genius, too—modernist silences punctuated by Jerry Goldsmith's haunting, melancholy, reverberating score. Hanson finds heartbreak in those silences, the real essence of men whose job it is to act tough for cameras.
Every trick Hanson ever learned was put to use in L.A. Confidential, and the result is one of the few nearly perfect movies of the recent past.
L.A. Confidential is about a group of men working and dying for a corrupt ideal lorded over by a corrupt older generation. It's the same basic idea as his abandoned sophomore movie, God Bless Grandma and Grandpa: that young people will be used up by vampiric interests looking to keep themselves comfortable as the world burns. Hanson used his knowledge of horror filmmaking to fully accentuate the ugliness of masculine legacy-building and imperialism. Nothing is so innocent that it can't be defiled. Every trick Hanson ever learned was put to use in L.A. Confidential, and the result is one of the few nearly perfect movies of the recent past.
'Wonder Boys' Credit: Paramount Pictures
1998's Wonder Boys is a gentle inversion of the idea of old men using young men for their own gain. Adapted from Michael Chabon's novel of the same name, it follows a washed-up writer obsessed by his own legacy and captivated by the brightest kid in the creative writing class he's teaching. Scott Tobias has pointed out how magnificently Hanson evoked cities, and he may never have topped the work he does showcasing rain-soaked, blue, and broken Pittsburgh. The film is a marvelous actor's piece, with everyone from the lead, Michael Douglas, to Katie Holmes, Robert Downey Jr., Tobey Maguire, and Francis McDormand lending some of their finest, warmest, and funniest work.
Wonder Boys and L.A. Confidential prove Hanson could have directed anything on the tonal spectrum and still garner all-time great performances from his cast. He even managed to humanize the famously homophobic rapper Eminem in the underrated 8 Mile, a great Detroit movie in the way L.A. Confidential and Wonder Boys are LA and Pittsburgh movies.
He taught himself how to write scripts without having gone to film school and built a career and legacy slogging through one production system after another.
His next films, In Her Shoes and Lucky You, didn't get much love from audiences or critics, and the director slowed down. His health prevented him from finishing the mostly forgotten surfer film Chasing Mavericks; Michael Apted stepped in at the 11th hour to complete it, lending it an eerie symmetry with Hanson's early work, also altered by other hands. But the last film with Hanson's name on it is worth remembering and watching. 2011's Too Big To Fail, about the financial crisis and subsequent bailouts, is a fabulous and ferocious study of people pressed into corners looking for an escape. Claustrophobic and quick, it's got the cunning of his thrillers and the charm of his '90s landmarks.
'8 Mile'Credit: Universal Pictures Before he died yesterday, Hanson didn't have much in the way of a vocal auteurist following. Maybe it was because he spent so long making thrillers at a time when they were the dominant popular American form. Maybe it's because L.A. Confidential and Wonder Boys seem so tonally different from his early work. Or maybe it's because his sturdiness looked practiced rather than earned.
I can't say, but I do know he deserved better. He never gave up, got better each time out, and let himself grow organically and at his own pace. He didn't allow myriad setbacks and disappointments to stop him from perfecting his art. He taught himself how to write scripts without having gone to film school and built a career and legacy slogging through one production system after another. Hanson should be a lesson to every young filmmaker who doesn't know how she'll be able to break into the business: Don't let anyone stop you from finding your voice. A high school dropout made some of the finest American movies of our lifetime. That's the American dream. | positive |

The development of Referral Partners is perhaps the most underused aspect of networking. Referral Partners are a trusted resource and positioned to readily refer business – they are your top lead passers. Your referral network is an integral component to the success of your business development and overall sales efforts. There are many reasons for the understated importance of Referral Partners, and all can be overcome by recognizing their value and creating good habits. First, you have to ask! Ask: Will You Refer Business? People generally love helping others, and especially when they have experienced authentic and valuable customer service. Research has uncovered that 91% of clients would gladly give referrals, but only 11% of salespeople ask. You’ve worked hard to provide a value to your clients, vendors, and other professional relationships. Don’t assume that your work is done here - that they will graciously spread the good word about your services, and exemplary client management. There is nothing to fear; confirm their trust and satisfaction with your company and simply ask the question, “Will you keep us in mind when you hear that your clients/colleagues need assistance or are struggling with their payroll processing?” Tactics Some say that asking for referrals is a numbers game much like cold-calling, networking, and exhibiting. The fact of the matter is, when you have provided exemplary service you can have a handful of strong referral partners that will maximize their, and your sales effortlessly. Keeping this in mind, there are many effective and respectful tactics that can be used to ask for referrals. Face-to-face is a powerful approach because it adds a sense of accountability and sincerity. There are several opportunities in which you can ask in person. 1. When you close the sale or have a final meeting, and everyone is raving about the customer service you have provided, this is an opportune time to say thank you and ask for referrals. Determine which questions are most comfortable for you to ask, write them down, practice asking, then apply. 2. Sometimes a gentle wait is in order; people can be more open to making referrals once they’ve had some quality time with your products and services – a trial and error period. In these cases, wait a month, and then present the question. Letters, emails, and drip campaigns are equally as effective. If asking for referrals hasn’t been a consistent practice, you have missed opportunities. In these instances, employ a scripted approach. 1. Handwritten thank you letters are powerful, and show thoughtfulness, and will also work when asking for referrals. It conveys a sense of detail, care, and that they are worth your time and effort. 2. Emails can be crafted with sincerity and a direct tone that works well with colleagues and companies with which you’ve built trusted relationships. 3. Now that you’ve asked, you’ll want to maintain a top-of-mind presence. A well timed, crafted series of emails scheduled to touch base with your network serves as a reminder that you are here and interested in receiving referrals. A best practice for this tactic is once quarterly. Leaving behind business cards is an effective way to ask for a Referral Partner to pass along your information, which will also create a physical presence and reminder to your contact. Our line of sight is a powerful persuasion tool. Make asking for referrals a habit. The more you ask, the more you’ll receive in turn. In making The Ask a habit, you are creating a best practice within your business process. The Ask will: 1. Drive sales dramatically 2. Foster healthy relationships 3. Remove the fear of no 4. Compliment all sales and business development efforts Assumptions don’t fill our databases, build lead sources, or supply us with sales. The simplicity of asking a question is an indispensable way to substantially increase sales, build and maintain relationships, and implement a known operative business skill.

Aaron Lake: A litmus test for (white) racists News Sports Opinion Life Obituaries eNewspaper Legals CONTRIBUTORS Aaron Lake: A litmus test for (white) racists Aaron Lake View Comments View Comments Most people don’t want to be a racist. The fact is racists do exist. There is extensive debate as to whether or not blacks and other minorities can be racist but for the purposes of this column I will focus on white racists. Over the past two years, the words “I’m not a racist” have come to dominate the American lexicon. Celebrities from Roseanne Barr to Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus to Liam Neeson, have all had to, as a result of their own words, actions or affiliations, declare, “I’m not a racist." Other, not-so-famous folks have echoed the same refrain. Grocery store clerks, Sunday School teachers, school administrators, chief executives, grandparents, police officers, secretaries, students, construction workers, stay-at-home parents, politicians and Uber drivers have found the need to proclaim, “I’m not a racist." Unfortunately, just saying, “I’m not a racist” or having your mother, neighbor, friend or colleague declare it on your behalf doesn’t make it true. To borrow a line from another columnist, just because you never asked a person of color to hold your torch while you poured gasoline on their feet doesn’t mean you are not a racist. However, if you find yourself wearing blackface or KKK attire, well... Very few people are self-aware enough to ever consider the possibility that they might in fact be a racist. And since most of us surround ourselves with like-minded people who love and care about us, they might not be able to see our flaws, thereby rendering us oblivious to the fact that we are a racist. The real tragedy in our blindness is that we never get help and therefore live our entire lives unwittingly hurting others and depriving ourselves of the joy that comes from sharing and experiencing the richness that diversity adds to one’s life. Having been employed my entire adult life surrounded by and large with all-white intellectually and socially enlightened critical thinkers who profess to be free from (racial) prejudice, I’ve come across several clues that have forced me to accept that some of the people I know are in fact racist. In an effort to help diagnose a racist so that she or he can get the help they need, I have modified a litmus test I stumbled across on the internet that might assist you in determining if you are a racist. If you say things that make people think you are a racist. If you do things that make people think you are a racist. If you only do things so that people won’t think you are a racist. If in the course of a year you find yourself having to say "I’m not a racist" on multiple occasions. If you feel compelled to point out what you consider to be unusual characteristics or behaviors associated with “those” people or people from “that” area. If you have a black friend, coworker, in-law or one who goes to your church and you parade her or him around like a trophy. If the only time you interface with a person of color is to conduct business or they are providing you a service. If you only engage with a person of color when it’s necessary to do so. If you avoid a person of color because they might have reason to think you are a racist. If every person of color you know is in your life because you were/are her or his boss. If you have a go-to person of color to help you understand when you have been told you are a racist. If upon reflection of an event or episode you realize you would have handled the situation differently if you were dealing with a white person. Scoring: If you fit three or more of these descriptions, you’re probably a racist. Four, you are one! While this litmus test for a racist is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, it is critical for each of us to examine our hearts and determine the areas in which we need to grow. It is not enough to focus on our strengths and goodness; the bible teaches that the comely parts have no need. Remember, James Earl Ray undoubtedly had good qualities but that didn’t make him any less a dangerous, racist assassin. There probably isn’t a good test to detect a racist and you might not be able to identify one by looking, but a leopard can’t help but reveal its spots. Being a racist is a matter of the heart and is revealed by how you treat others. The best way to identify a racist, even if it’s you, is by the way she or he communicates, interacts with or avoids interacting with people of color. I typically ask myself this question when engaging with my fellow human beings: how would this interaction go if this person were my wife, my mother or my child? We are all flawed, which is why we all need a forgiving God. If your flaw is being a racist, I suggest you follow this simple recovery plan, admit it and repent it. The one way to ensure that you are not a racist is to make sure that all of your interactions with others are AWL (always with love). Aaron Lake is assistant pastor for Greater Grace Church, Muncie.

JTA — France’s Jewish millionaires are flocking to Israel by the thousands, according to new data on offer by a consultancy that tracks the world’s wealthy.
The report on international millionaire migration published Thursday by New World Wealth says 10,000 millionaires left France in 2015. Andrew Amolis, the firm’s head of research, told Newsweek that 20-25 percent of these French emigrants were Israel-bound Jews. That would mean up to 2,500 French millionaires immigrated to Israel last year.
“The large outflow of millionaires from France is notable — France is being heavily impacted by rising religious tensions between Christians and Muslims, especially in urban areas,” the report says.

Such an exodus of Jews with money would be good news for Israel — at France’s expense, of course. France has seen rising emigration thanks to financial stagnation and high taxes, with anti-Semitic violence helping Jews find the door. But New World Wealth’s estimates are hard to reconcile with what is known about French Jews and aliyah, or Jewish immigration to Israel.
“Millionaire migration in 2015″ is the third annual report of its kind by the Britain- and South Africa-based firm. The 8-page document defines millionaires as “individuals with net assets of $1 million or more excluding their primary residences.” The term immigration is not defined.
Amolis was not immediately reachable to answer questions.
Of the 7,900 French Jews who immigrated to Israel last year, 15 percent were from poor areas with large Muslim populations, according to the Jewish Agency for Israel. Those immigrants were unlikely to be millionaires. If the New World Wealth report is correct, then, nearly one in three people from the remaining 6,700 French immigrants were millionaires.
Having mingled with French immigrants to Israel at aliyah fairs, as well as in their homes and synagogues in France and in Israel, I didn’t get the impression many of them were particularly well off.
The notion that a couple of thousand or more French millionaires relocated to Israel last year sounds overblown to Avi Zana, director of the nonprofit Ami Israel, who has worked for the past 20 years to help French immigrants integrate into Israeli society.
“Yes, there is a growth in the number of wealthy people coming to Israel,” he said. “High taxes in France and a stagnant economy have sent some wealthy people to the Jewish state, but to speak about this movement in the thousands or even high hundreds — that seems highly exaggerated to me.”
Beyond just France, the New World Wealth report said that 4,000 millionaires moved to Israel last year from around the world — growing the country’s millionaire population by 6 percent to 71,700. (Another estimate by Credit Suisse found 88,231 millionaires in Israel in 2015.)
In the report’s ranking of countries by millionaire inflow, Israel came in fourth — after Australia, the United States and Canada, in that order. The United Arab Emirates and New Zealand were Nos. 5 and 6, respectively. About half of Israel’s new millionaires in 2015 settled in Tel Aviv, according to the report.
But looking again at official aliyah statistics, that would mean that more than 10 percent of the 31,013 new immigrants to Israel were millionaires — though just 13,000 immigrants came from wealthy countries in Western Europe and North America.
Total aliyah increased 10 percent from 2014, after more than doubling the year before. For the second straight year, France was the largest single provider of immigrants to Israel in 2015.
The most dramatic increase in aliyah, though, was from Russia, where 6,600 immigrants left compared to 4,900 the previous year, amid a financial crisis that halved the ruble’s worth against the dollar in just one year and mounting concern over President Vladimir Putin’s nondemocratic policies.
Another 7,000 newcomers came from Ukraine, which is also experiencing a financial crisis following a bloody revolution that has led to regime change and secession by pro-Russian separatists in two eastern provinces.
The New World Report says its estimates are rounded to whole thousands. The cited sources are an in-house database, statistics on investor visas (which in Israel are not necessary for Frenchmen or commonly sought in general) and interviews with experts. | positive |
“For I was hungry, while you had all you needed. I was thirsty, but you drank bottled water. I was a stranger, and you wanted me deported. I needed clothes, but you needed more clothes. I was sick, and you pointed out the behaviors that led to my sickness. I was in prison, and you said I was getting what I deserved. (RESV – Richard E. Stearns Version)”
― Richard Stearns, The Hole in Our Gospel: What Does God Expect of Us? the Answer That Changed My Life and Might Just Change the World
This contemporary translation of Matthew by Richard Stearns in The Hole in Our Gospel calls us to look at our lifestyles with new eyes. We take our overly consumptive and wasteful habits for granted, while surrounded by those who are dying for lack of what we mindlessly throw away. Where’s the gospel in that?
The good news for the poor would be that those of us so blessed to have all we need would welcome them just as we proclaim we would welcome the Christ. Hopefully, we would not ignore the King of Kings. Why then do turn a deaf eyes to the cries of “the least of these?” As Stearns points out, our gospel has become far too holey to be any earthly good. | positive |

Tina Tchen has resigned from her position as president and CEO of Time's Up, an organization whose mission is to protect women from harassment. It was the latest fallout from charges that Times' Up leaders privately consulted with then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has denied accusations by 11 women that he sexually harassed them. "I am especially aware that my position at the helm of TIME'S UP has become a painful and divisive focal point," Tchen wrote in her resignation statement. "Those very women and other activists who should be working together to fight for change are instead battling each other in harmful ways." Over the past few months, sexual abuse survivors have accused Time's Up leaders of betraying them, after New York Attorney General Letitia James reported they had consulted with a top Cuomo aide about how strong a stand Time's Up should take on the allegations. News reports alleged that Tchen and board chair Roberta Kaplan gave feedback on an unpublished opinion column smearing Cuomo accuser Lindsey Boylan. And The Washington Post published text messages in which Tchen told colleagues to "stand down" from releasing a statement in support of Boylan. Tchen was once a corporate lawyer in Chicago and became first lady Michelle Obama's chief of staff. She co-founded the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund with Kaplan, who also resigned from her position as board chair of Time's Up over the Cuomo matter. In her statement, Tchen noted that she spent her career fighting for positive change for women, including during her time as executive director of the Obama administration's White House Council on Women and Girls. And she said leading Times' Up since 2019 had been rewarding. "Change will come when we move those who run companies to enact policies to make things better for women and other workers, and when legislators enact laws to further gender equity and safety," she wrote. "TIME'S UP's advocacy was based on that premise, that we cannot just shout on the outside for change without helping companies, government leaders and policy makers find the solutions to do better. Now is the time for TIME'S UP to evolve and move forward as there is so much more work to do for women. It is clear that I am not the leader who can accomplish that in this moment." Just hours before her resignation, Tchen appeared in a panel discussion on The Skimm podcast, during which she was questioned about backlash over the Cuomo matter. She said Time's up needed to create change in a "responsible way that does not lead survivors to question us or feel as though we have betrayed them." She added that "the idea that my actions have caused pain to women is deeply, deeply and profoundly regretful to me." Tchen said she had worked with powerful people for a long time to make change, but "I'm learning how when you do that work, there are guard rails you're gonna need to put up, and probably more guard rails than I fully understood or anticipated." When asked about mistakes Time's Up has made, she said, "We clearly see how we can be used as cover. And let's be clear – what I believe happened with the Cuomo administration was we were used as cover in ways I had no understanding of until the AG's report. That's a problem, and we can't let that happen. Our movement cannot be used as cover for folks who are trying to actually go at survivors or others." The board of directors for Time's Up praised Tchen for "guaranteeing support to the Silence Breakers and Harvey Weinstein survivors, developing a program to center women of color survivor voices, calling out sexism in politics, giving large corporations guidance to do the right thing and holding them accountable when their workplaces were not safe and equitable, and forcing the Golden Globes to address their toxic effect on the entertainment workplace." The board also announced that beginning Tuesday, Monifa Bandele will become the interim CEO of Time's Up. Copyright 2021 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.

Cotton Conclusion | Salt & Tar Skip to content Salt & Tar Building Rediviva Menu Home About Us The Boat support the project! Swag Videos Cotton Conclusion January 26, 2018 ~ grjolly The week has finally come to a close. It was our first solid week of continuous boat work. It’s kind of nice when a task has a few stages and is just a matter of time to get it done. The work isn’t complicated but it’s time consuming. Garrett’s been stuffing the seams with cotton while I’ve been filling the bottom seams with tar. I dance around Garrett to prime the seams after he’s done caulking. Garrett switches between the mallet and his new toy, the electric caulking gun: After going through two tubes with the manual gun we thought there’s got to be a better tool for this! We searched Craigslist because buying one new was going to be somewhere around $140, since we also needed to purchase the battery and charger. We found one less than an hour away for $30. This thing goes through a tube in less than a minute evenly filling the seam. We can’t buy the compound fast enough now! We’ve had a few rainy days which has swollen the planking a bit. It’s neat to look at the seams we’ve already filled and fared and see after the planks have swelled they’ve pushed the compound out a little. The wood’s alive! But…. because of that rain the cardboard tubes of compound got damp. Trying to slowly push the sealant out still didn’t stop every tube from rupturing. So we didn’t get too far on filling the topsides… The starboard side is over half way done though which is exciting! I’m in charge of the bottom planks. The rain’s made my job a little easier as the seams keep getting smaller. I’ve narrowed the starboard side down to just 5 seams left to fill. It’s really cool seeing the hull become fare. I started on the sunny side so unfortunately I’m about to switch to the dark side. The port side sits in the shade most of the day and really holds the cold air in Rediviva’s shadow. Just give this girl a gallon of tar and she’s happy Give this guy some cotton and he’ll be stoked Garrett’s dwindled the caulking to just 6 seams on the transom left to be stuffed. He’s really perfected the technique. He moves along the planks so quick. Getting his loops beautifully even. I’m sure it’s become like second nature as it’s so repetitive. He cleans/reefs out the seams, makes his loops, then comes back over and drives the cotton in with the mallet. Sometimes it’s easy and he can just use the screwdriver reefing tool but other times the tar used to bed the planks is thick and dry and he needs the oscillating saw. especially in the rabbet and corners of the transom But that’s not the fun part. The fun part is realizing the boat is nearly completely caulked! Garrett’s had such patience and persistence building Rediviva. I remember when she was just a crazy idea and Garrett had this vision of getting to the point where he was caulking the seams of the boat he built himself. Well here we are. A fantasy now reality. I’m sure it’s not quite as sparkley as the daydream once was but I think the truth comes pretty close. Rediviva is stunning and we can’t wait to see what she’ll look like finished. Today will conclude the cotton caulking. Share this: More Tweet Like this: Like Loading... Related Post navigation < Previous Episode 27 Y’all!

Is Russia taking help of Taliban to fight ISIS?
Taliban freed a group of hostages including a young afghan man who were kidnapped by Islamic State fighters in Zabul nearly nine months after they were kidnapped.
Interestingly, days before reports from Russia reveals that Russian President Vladimir Putin is turning to an old enemy ‘Taliban’ to share intelligence as the number of ISIS fighters grow in regional neighbour Afghanistan.
“Russian military officials are working with the Taliban to gain information on the Islamic State group are willing to share the intelligence with other countries operating in the region”, says Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
The young man was part of a group of hostages who were eventually freed by the Taliban and his story shows Afghan Taliban now standing against ISIS.
Nabi, 25-year old construction worker, who had recently got married, was on his way to the capital in the hope of finding work, when armed men stopped the long-distance bus he was travelling on the way to Kabul.
The gunmen, dressed in black and wearing masks, singled out passengers and drove 30 of them away to a remote village in the southern province of Zabul.
Initially reports blame Afghan Taliban for the attack but after two days in captivity Nabi and his fellow hostages realized that the kidnappers are no other than ISIS.
“They said they are from Islamic state militant and wanted to exchange us for their women and children who were being held by the Afghan government, said Nabi to BBC.
The hostages reveals that they were treated with extreme brutality by their abductors.
The worst point came when the kidnappers beheaded one of the hostages.
They filmed the murder in front of Nabi and the others, and in an echo of Islamic State atrocity videos in Syria.
“We lost hope in everything except God,” Nabi says. “The torture, the cruelty and the hardship made death seem like a much easier option than staying alive.”
Freedom finally came after local Taliban intervened and attacked the area being held by the IS fighters.
The hostage group were taken to the house of a local Taliban commander.
“Around four or five hundred Taliban came to congratulate us,” he says. “The commander told them not to hug us because we were too weak to stand on our feet at that stage,” said Nabi.
Nabi is trying to recover from his ordeal. He’s clearly traumatised and has suffered kidney damage from the beatings he endured. | positive |

Increase your online visibility with these Local SEO strategies. See how these Local SEO strategies can make your bricks & mortar business infinitely more visible on search engine results pages. What is Local SEO? Local SEO is the process of optimizing your website to rank for searches with 'local intent' and helping people in your area find your business. An example of a search query with local intent is “dentist near me”. Today, an astounding 46% of Google searches have local intent. Why is Local SEO important? If you're running a business that serves a local community in one or more locations (e.g. wedding photographer, web designer, chain of coffee shops) then local SEO is an essential part of your strategy for growing your business. It dramatically increases your visibility on search engine results pages since well-optimized local listings get priority over organic listings. Google My Business Considering Google's 92% market share, the single most important thing you can do to optimize for local search is to claim and optimize your Google My Business listing. Google My Business (previously Google Local) is a profile of your business on Google and includes information supplied by both you and your customers. The information from Google My Business feeds into several elements on Google's search engine results pages. These elements are what will make your business stand out from organic search results which are getting pushed further and further down the search engine results page in favour of local search results, featured snippets, carousels, answer boxes, paid adverts and more. 56% of local retail businesses haven't yet claimed their Google My Business listing, so it really is a no-brainer to take advantage of this opportunity. Go here to claim your Google My Business listing. Google Local Pack Also affectionately known as the 'Google Snack Pack' or 'Google 3 Pack', this is a special prioritized section of Google search engine result pages that displays for searches with local intent. It lists three businesses, showing a preview of their Google My Business information including location on Google Maps, customer reviews, address, phone, and opening hours. Google's local Pack Results format shows in the #1 rank position 93% of the time for local intent searches. In addition to covering all the basics of Website SEO, the two main ranking factors for the Google Local Pack are Business Information and Google Reviews. Business Information The information you add to your Google My Business profile is a strong ranking factor for the Google Local Pack so it's important to give as much detail as possible, including your business description, categories, services, full address, phone numbers, opening hours, photos, images and website URL. Google Reviews Another important ranking factor for the Local Pack are Google reviews. Businesses with a higher number of quality, diverse Google reviews are more likely to appear in the Local Pack. if you haven't already, it's time to start asking your customers for a review on Google. If they need help, Google have a comprehensive guide on how to write reviews and add ratings of places. Local Business Citations In addition to Google My Business, there are a number of citation websites that will help improve your Local SEO. Websites such as Yelp, Yellowpages, Facebook, Superpages, Foursquare, Apple Maps and Bing let you add your business profile. Moz have an excellent reference of the most popular citation websites for your business category and location. Website Localization Including your business address throughout your website is an important on-page ranking signal for local search. If your business has multiple locations, create an individual page for each location. Local Backlinks Connecting with local businesses, publications, community events, business associations and blogging about them has many benefits. From a Local SEO perspective, such activity can help create backlinks to your site from trusted local businesses. Did you find this article useful? Yes No Thanks for your feedback!

Following the announcement that Gene Wilder died in August of complications from Alzheimer’s disease, people have been paying their respects to him in a variety of ways. But when it comes to unique tributes to the beloved actor, a restaurant in Australia may have just taken the cake.
With the introduction of the “Beauregard Burger,” Sydney’s Bar Luca has kicked off a celebration of Wilder’s life dubbed “Wonka Week.” Featuring a custom rainbow milk bun filled with a beef patty, popping cheese (cheddar cheese topped with popping candy, reports Buzzfeed), tomato soup jelly, blueberry onion jam, fried potatoes and Wonka sauce, the burger is an homage to Wilder’s turn as an eccentric candymaker in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, and of course Beauregarde’s iconic scene.

The colorful creation costs $16 and “tastes a little sweet and a little savoury,” according to head chef Sarah Robbins.
The restaurant is even giving away golden tickets (one each day per venue) that are good for a free burger and drink for two to customers who order the special.

Bronx woman who stabbed pregnant friend claims she acted in self-defense, cut child from womb to ‘save the baby’: cop sources – New York Daily News Advertisement Bronx Bronx woman who stabbed pregnant friend claims she acted in self-defense, cut child from womb to ‘save the baby’: cop sources By Rocco Parascandola, Denis Slattery and Thomas Tracy Police Bureau Chief and New York Daily News Nov 22, 2015 at 1:47 am A baby-obsessed Bronx woman who stabbed an expectant mom to death claimed she killed her former pal in self-defense and cut the baby from her belly to save the newborn's life. The accused killer's defense emerged on Saturday, along with bizarre details of her fascination with babies – and grisly details of the savage murder. Advertisement Ashleigh Wade, 22, was sitting on the stoop of her building, her hands dripping with blood after the knife attack. She told cops she stabbed Angelikque Sutton "as many times as she could," a police source said. Inside Wade's apartment and surrounded by a sea of red, Sutton was barely alive, police said. She had been stabbed repeatedly in her neck and body and had a deep gash across her stomach, police said. Advertisement The baby's placenta was found on the bathroom floor, officials said. And the bloody knife used in the killing was found nearby. Both mother and baby were rushed to Montefiore Medical Center, where Sutton, 22, died a little after 3:30 p.m. After initially claiming she had just given birth to the baby herself, Wade later changed her twisted tune and said it was her pregnant victim who attacked her inside her home on Monticello Ave. in Wakefield. Ashleigh Wade (pictured) is accused in the stabbing death of expecting mother Angelikque Sutton in the Bronx on Friday, and attempting to cut Sutton’s unborn child from the womb in order to save it. (Facebook) Wade claimed Sutton lunged at her with a knife, but she wrestled it away and jammed it into the pregnant woman's neck. She then cut open Sutton's stomach to save the unborn child, she told cops. "She said she wanted to save the baby," a police source with knowledge of the case said Saturday. Wade, who was transferred from Jacobi Medical Center to Elmhurst Center Hospital in Queens on Saturday while undergoing psychiatric evaluation, was arrested and charged with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon. She had never been arrested before, police said. The Facebook page of the unhinged woman's boyfriend, Angel Praylow, 27, who walked in on the bloody scene, offered a glimpse into Wade's baby crazy ways. Praylow had been posting pictures of baby clothes and sonograms on Facebook in recent months and Wade had registered for gifts at Babies "R" Us, claiming a due date of Nov. 16. Angelikque Sutton (pictured) was eight-and-a-half months pregnant when she was attacked Friday. She was rushed to the hospital, where she died. The baby is recovering. (Facebook) The sonograms appear to be lifted from an unrelated blog. "u stole my pic," Wade even jokes under one image. Advertisement When her family inquired about the big day, Praylow wrote, ". . . today her due day but she not ready to come out yet." Police said they have no knowledge that Wade is pregnant or has ever been pregnant. She refused to consent to a medical exam as of early Saturday. According to sources, Wade told her estranged family she "had a baby" that died shortly after being born in 2014. But when pressed for further details, she clammed up and wouldn't say what hospital she had given birth in or provide any other details. Crime scene officers carry evidence into the 47 Precinct in the Bronx. Wade was found at the scene of the knifing, and admitted to stabbing Sutton "as many times as she could." (Vic Nicastro/Vic Nicastro) "She seems obsessed with babies," the police source said. Neighbors could barely believe the bloodshed that unfolded Friday afternoon about 2 p.m. Advertisement "She was very quiet," Taneka S., 33, said of Wade. "It's just sad. The situation is very sad. Young girls, whole life in front of them." Angela Parris, a nurse and Wade's landlord, believed her tenant may have been pregnant at some point. "She probably was pregnant in the beginning and lost the baby," she said. "She had me fooled terribly." Detectives from the NYPD Crime Scene Unit bringing several bags of material gathered from the scene of the earlier stabbing death of Sutton. (Sam Costanza/for New York Daily News) Sutton's grief-stricken family declined to talk Saturday as they left Montefiore Medical Center, where the baby, named Genesis, was recovering. Wade told police that she and Sutton went to the fifth grade together, lost touch, then rekindled their friendship recently on Facebook. Breaking News As it happens Get updates on the coronavirus pandemic and other news as it happens with our free breaking news email alerts. > In the days before the murder, Wade said she and Sutton dined at an Applebee's in Co-op City and even went shopping for baby-related items at Toys R' Us. Advertisement But their friendship soured Friday when they started "talking about the past," Wade told police, according to sources. After the explosion of violence, Wade called Praylow and told him to come over right away "because she did something really bad," police sources said. When police arrived Praylow was standing outside with two friends, holding Genesis swaddled in a jacket. Cheryl Wilson knew Sutton, her next-door neighbor and St. John's grad, when she was just a child. "No one deserves to die like that, have your baby cut out of you," Wilson said.

Here’s our choice. We wait and see if a class of powerful pesticides, made by Bayer and Syngenta, is indeed pushing entire ecosystems to oblivion, or suspend their use while proper trials are conducted. The natural world versus two chemical companies: how hard can this be?
Papers published over the past few weeks suggest that these neonicotinoids, pesticides implicated in killing or disabling bees, have similar effects on much of life on Earth. On land and in water, these neurotoxins appear to be degrading entire food chains. Licensed before sufficient tests were conducted, they are now the world’s most widely used pesticides. We are just beginning to understand what we’ve walked into.
A paper in Nature last week showed a strong correlation between neonicotinoid concentrations and the decline of birds such as swallows, skylarks, yellowhammers, wagtails, starlings and whitethroats. It couldn’t demonstrate causation, but it was elegantly designed to exclude competing factors. The precipitous loss of insects caused by neonicotinoids is the simplest and most obvious explanation, as all these birds depend on insects to feed their young. Where the chemical was heavily used, bird populations fell by 3.5% a year; where it was not, they held up. At this rate, it doesn’t take long to engineer a world without song.
Another paper reports that residues of neonicotinoids were found in all the soil samples the researchers took: these chemicals are highly persistent. Sold to farmers as precise and targeted, they are some of the least discriminate pesticides ever produced. When used to treat seeds, just 5% is absorbed by the plant; the rest soaks into the soil, with potentially lethal impacts on the animals that maintain its structure and fertility.
They are also water soluble. Recent papers suggest a collapse in the diversity and abundance of invertebrates in water running off farms where neonicotinoids are used. Mayflies and caddis flies, essential to the survival of many aquatic ecosystems, are especially vulnerable.
Another new paper provides compelling evidence linking these chemicals to colony collapse disorder: the sudden disappearance of honey bee colonies that’s now trashing the livelihoods of beekeepers in the US. Half the colonies exposed to neonicotinoids disappeared in the course of one winter; none of the untreated swarms vanished.
Worldwide contamination, indiscriminately wiping out wild animals, including those on which farming depends: these are the findings of an analysis of 800 scientific papers, also just published. How much more obvious does the case for action need to be?
Sure, there is plenty that we don’t yet know. We know almost nothing about the long-term, cumulative effects of these chemicals, or about what neonicotinoids do to birds that eat contaminated seeds, to mammal and amphibian populations, to coral reefs or marine life of any kind. Governments went into it blind, approving neonicotinoids before they had even a fraction of the necessary knowledge.
Far from being essential to food production, these pesticides are a serious threat to food supplies, through their likely impacts on bees and soil animals. They are well designed for lazy farming, but their advantages vanish in the face of more sophisticated methods such as integrated pest management. The only sensible response to the little we know so far is a global moratorium pending further research for all purposes except the control of human diseases.
In August 1962, after extracts from Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring were published, President Kennedy launched a commission to investigate the impacts of the pesticide DDT. Within 10 years it was banned from use in the US, except for public health emergencies.
This was despite lawsuits and a massive lobbying and disinformation campaign by the chemicals industry. Alongside the usual accusations of hysteria and other alleged female pathologies, it suggested that Carson was seeking to destroy US farming on behalf of the Soviet Union. The smears continue to this day. Corporate front groups concocted a myth that DDT was banned worldwide as a result of Carson’s book, causing the deaths of millions through malaria. In fact the DDT ban (still in place through the Stockholm convention) is for agricultural purposes but not disease control. DDT would soon have become useless against malaria had it continued to be used by farmers: the wider their exposure, the more quickly mosquitoes become resistant. Kennedy and his successors held firm.
Compare this with the British government’s response to attempts to control neonicotinoids. It threw everything it had against an EU proposal to suspend their use on flowering crops. Owen Paterson, the worst environment secretary this country has ever suffered – who was struck down by the Curse of Monbiot on Monday night in the cabinet reshuffle – wrote privately to Syngenta to reassure the company that “our efforts [to stop the suspension] will continue and intensify in the coming days”. His department commissioned a study claiming to show that bees were not being harmed. It was so flawed that no journal would take it. The lead author soon left to work for Syngenta.
The government’s chief scientist, Sir Mark Walport, made wildly misleading statements about the science and used scare tactics and emotional blackmail to try to keep the pesticides in circulation. Fortunately the government’s campaign failed, and a two-year moratorium, though limited only to certain flowering crops, came into force across the EU in December 2013.
The case for a global moratorium is just as strong, so once more the government weighs in on the wrong side. Ian Boyd, chief scientist at the environment department, sought last week to dismiss the new Nature paper. His article was so slapdash that he couldn’t even get the lead author’s name right. He insisted that there was insufficient evidence to draw conclusions. So did he announce a massive research programme to resolve the uncertainties? Did he hell. Uncertainty suits these people, and they will exploit it as ruthlessly as they can.
Will Liz Truss, the new environment secretary, champion science, not chemical companies? I would love to believe that there might be a remaining glimmer of recognition that governments exist to protect us from exploitation and destruction. Kennedy knew it, for all his faults. Like him, our politicians have a clear choice: surrender to corporate bullies or defend the living world. What will they do?

If you're connected to the biz in any capacity, it should be impossible to read this without thinking something along the lines of WHAT'S WRONG WITH US? This is the kind of casual sadism that the early seasons of Mad Men made an art of exposing. But we're not talking about a benighted past, or about advertizing grifters on the make. If loving wisdom is good for anything, it should be good for not acting like the men in the early seasons of Mad Men.
I have sat in philosophy seminars where it was asserted that I should be left to die on a desert island if the choice was between saving me and saving an arbitrary non-disabled person. I have been told it would be wrong for me to have my biological children because of my disability. I have been told that, while it isn’t bad for me to exist, it would’ve been better if my mother could’ve had a non-disabled child instead. I’ve even been told that it would’ve been better, had she known, for my mother to have an abortion and try again in hopes of conceiving a non-disabled child. I have been told that it is obvious that my life is less valuable when compared to the lives of arbitrary non-disabled people. And these things weren’t said as the conclusions of careful, extended argument. They were casual assertions. They were the kind of thing you skip over without pause because it’s the uncontroversial part of your talk.
I know that I'm not the only person who has been taking a deep look at the disciplinary norms in academic philosophy since reading Elizabeth Barnes' philosop-her essay (" Confessions of a Bitter Cripple ") from a few weeks ago. Please read the whole thing if you haven't. One part in Barnes' piece that really threw me was this:
And for the last few weeks I've been constantly trying to understand why it's part of the remit of an academic philosopher to confidently and casually make sweeping judgments in passing that implicate the worthlessness of an interlocutor at best, and genocide at worst. My brain has settled on a couple of thoughts. I honestly don't know how fatuous they are, and I hope that people will take the time to correct me to the extent that they are. I'm also a priori certain that other people have probably said the same things better, and I hope that people will take the time to point me to the relevant work.
My hypothesis is that contemporary analytic philosophy is haunted by a solipsism that forms what continental philosophers call a "horizon" for much analytic work concerned with deontic norms. By 'solipsism' I don't mean the view that only I exist, but rather the methodological and normative privileging of the individual. Methodological solipsism is the view that philosophical explanation primarily concerns individual agents. With respect to ethics this means that an ethical theory should primarily be concerned with correctly predicting what individuals ought and ought not do (with room thrown in for supererogation and its opposite as well). Normative solipsism is the view that independence or a narrowly defined version of autonomy is a core part of the highest good.
I'm enough of a Marxist not to think that all philosophical obnoxiousness and cruelty follows from the predominance of these kinds of solipsism any more than I think that all economic obnoxiousness and cruelty follow from (the similarly solipsistic) Horatio Alger myth, or any myth from that matter. First, humans are endlessly inventive with respect to varieties of inhumanity. Second, we shouldn't overestimate the causal role of beliefs in human behavior. Nonetheless, I do hope that exposing the ideological superstructure can sometimes effect the behavioral base.
*
First I want to briefly examine some of the most popular gedankenexperiments in philosophy that strike me as evincing the kind of casual sadism that Barnes describes. In the philosophy of mind we have the Chinese Nation thought experiment, which the SEP summarizes thusly:
In “Troubles with Functionalism”, also published in 1978, Ned Block envisions the entire population of China implementing the functions of neurons in the brain. This scenario has subsequently been called “The Chinese Nation” or “The Chinese Gym”. We can suppose that every Chinese citizen would be given a call-list of phone numbers, and at a preset time on implementation day, designated “input” citizens would initiate the process by calling those on their call-list. When any citizen's phone rang, he or she would then phone those on his or her list, who would in turn contact yet others. No phone message need be exchanged; all that is required is the pattern of calling. The call-lists would be constructed in such a way that the patterns of calls implemented the same patterns of activation that occur between neurons in someone's brain when that person is in a mental state—pain, for example. The phone calls play the same functional role as neurons causing one another to fire. Block was primarily interested in qualia, and in particular, whether it is plausible to hold that the population of China might collectively be in pain, while no individual member of the population experienced any pain, but the thought experiment applies to any mental states and operations, including understanding language.
This is grossly insensitive and in fact racist because something like this actually happens periodically in history, where a set of rigid instructions is given from the top, and millions of people have to uniformly co-ordinate their behavior. This usually results in genocidal levels of starvation, such as with the actual Great Leap Forward in China (1958-1961) which led to the deaths of somewhere between thirty and forty million people. The Great Chinese Famine is not an instance of some wacky thing that Chinese people are prone to do, but rather (as is arguably always the case with famines and genocides by removal) part of a complex and tragic history involving prior occupation and civil war. It's also not something particularly Chinese, as preventable human caused famines are a historical constant since not long after the invention of agriculture. But the Chinese Nation thought experiment is almost designed to make people who use it dumber and less humane in every relevant way with respect to Chinese history. Those wacky Chinese working collectively!
Or consider the issue of whether to redirect a trolley so that it kills one person rather than five people, the fat man variants of the trolley problem, or the related one concerning whether or not to dynamite a fat man blocking the cave, or or whether you help the Central American guerrillas (or death squad, I forget) kill a person. Again, it's almost as if these are designed to make people less humane and dumber with respect to the complex history of a great deal of human suffering, obviously with respect to body shaming, eating disorders, transportation policy (I am not being facetious; this currently kills and mangles far more people than war), and post-colonialism, but (as I will argue) even more generally with respect to how to think about tragic choices in one's own life. I also dimly remember from the 1990s fellow graduate students laughing about some then famous philosopher's series of thought experiments involving torturing cats in various ways (surely a perverse homage to Schrodinger; fortunately, these seem to have leveled off since the 1990s).
Let me be clear that I'm *not* saying we shouldn't philosophize about inhumanity. For a paradigm of how to do this, read Jonathan Glover's Humanity: A Moral History of the Twentieth Century. There's nothing facile or fatuous about Glover's philosophical discussions in part because he actually informs his normative speculation with deep examinations into the relevant psychology, history, economics, etc.
Back to the fatuous thought experiments. You don't have to step too far back to start wondering why contemporary philosophy finds itself almost constitutively glib and facile in this way. In what follows I'm going to try to follow the principle of charity and find the best possible reasons for thinking that philosophical explanation requires these little ceremonies of vapid cruelty, where the listener is bullied into imaginative complicity with respect to the perpetuation of human suffering and death. Let me here first note that I don't mean to be dismissing irrational reasons. In particular, there's a complicated connection between humor and cruelty. We have an I think somewhat natural tendency to find gedankenexperiments funnier the crueler they are. Whether or not it's natural, lots of us surely do respond this way. Second, we're narrative creatures and gedankenexperiments that are narratively vivid probably have some kind of selective advantage with respect to being remembered and talked about. Cruelty provides the requisite frisson. Third, getting people to engage in and submit to public displays of cruelty form a particularly effective manner of (usually male) bonding in human societies. However, in what follows, I'm asking if there are any potentially reasons that might justify philosophers in trying to make listeners imaginatively complicit in perpetrating cruel actions.

I want to start with a bit of the SEP article on Rawls' notion of reflective equilibrium:
The most abstract aim of political philosophy is to reach justified conclusions about how political institutions should be arranged. For Rawls how justified one is in one's political convictions depends on how close one is to achieving reflective equilibrium. In reflective equilibrium all of one's beliefs, on all levels of generality, cohere perfectly with one another. Thus in reflective equilibrium one's specific political judgments (e.g., “slavery is unjust,” “imprisonment without trial is unjust”) support one's more general political convictions (e.g., “all citizens have certain basic rights”) which support one's very abstract beliefs about oneself and one's world (e.g., “all citizens are free and equal”). Viewed from the opposite direction, in reflective equilibrium one's abstract beliefs explain one's more general convictions which in turn explain one's specific judgments. Were one to attain reflective equilibrium, the justification of each belief would follow from all beliefs relating in these networks of mutual support and explanation.
I think that this is such a powerful picture because it gives philosophers a role homologous to (the way philosophers see) natural scientists. The role of science is to come up with a theory (T, or T prime, take your pick) such that if you plug in the description of a system (experiment or natural bit of the universe) the theory allows you to predict the evolution of the system within margins of error. With the picture of reflective equilibrium, ethicists and political philospohers can now do the same thing, except their theory Ts generate (when descriptions of the relevant bits of actual or counterfactual reality are added) specific predictions about what is or is not morally obligatory, permissible, and/or supererogatory.
There are lots of problems with this conception of "theory" both in the philosophy of science and ethics. I know several Kantians that are acutely bitter about how it leads to the textbook treatment of Kant being both systematically wrong with respect to, and much less plausible than, Kant's actual views. But let's pass over these problems.
Add to the theory T model of theories the additional view that the primary task of a normative ethics is to determine what an individual's moral obligations are. As far as I know, Rawls didn't believe this, but political philosophy is standardly taken to be in some sense secondary to normative ethics in part because the two are standardly differentiated by how the latter treats an individual's choices and the former societal choices.
As a non-ethicist it does seem to me that a great deal of ethics only makes sense if you presuppose something like the theory T model of ethical theory combined with the methodologically solipsistic view that the primary function of ethical theory is to generate correct prescriptions for what individuals should do. And (again as a non-ethicist) I think that this approach reaches the pinnacle of absurdity with respect to the trolley problem literature. Sartre's earnest pleading to the side, it makes no sense to think that how people might respond in a one-off tragic choice scenario says very much at all about them.
More perversely, the focus on the individual responsibility covers up the structural and institutional causes of the overwhelming majority of tragic choices in real life. The closest thing to a trolley scenario that most people reading this will have to confront is jury duty. The prosecution lawyer will try to get you to convict someone of breaking an unjust law by convincing you that the person is dangerous over and above the crime of which he's being convicted. In some cases the prosecution is clearly correct. So your decision is to send a predatory person to prison unjustly or inflict that person on his community again. From my two experiences of jury duty prosecutors are very, very good at guilting jurors who might have qualms about the laws in question, or about the prison system, into going ahead and sending the person to prison. To be clear, the juror is radically epistemically limited with respect to whether the accused really is predatory, and it's here where racism works as a kind of shortcut to help the prosecutor convince the juror that it really is a tragic choice.
So what should one do? Well just leaving it at the question of what one person should do is part of the problem, an excuse not to look at the structures that gave rise to the existence of the trolley in the first place. Drug prohibition is in part so awful because it removes the state's monopoly on violence in enforcing contracts. This guarantees massive amounts of violence in the markets for the prohibited product. This environment creates and sustains particularly violent forms of human predation. But setting the parameters of the debate in terms of how you will act given a tragic choice (subject the person to an American prison or subject the populace to the person) systematically works to sustain the system that creates the range of tragic choices in the first place.
One could still be a methodological solipsist and a theory Tist without thinking that theory T should issue consistent predictions about one's obligations with respect to tragic choice type gedankenexperiments. And some amount of casual sadism in philosophy might be thus avoided. But one's picture of theory T with respect to ethics would become less and less homologous to the old school Deductive-Nomological picture of scientific theory still hanging around in the collective unconscious of philosophers of mind, metaphysicians, and ethicists.** While this would (I think) be an unalloyed good, I don't think that chucking theory Tism goes nearly far enough.
*
Normative solipsism is the tendency to see individual autonomy** and independence is a core part of the highest good. At least in their textbook versions, Aristotle and Kant suggest something like this (and Heidegger perversely recapitulates the trope with respect to the special status of Dasein) for roughly similar reasons. If you aren't able to reach (and for Kant freely rationally chose) the highest good then it's not really the highest good. So a core part of the highest good for humans is the ability to freely rationally chose and attain the highest good.
There are lots of ways one can try to make this reasoning more precise. Note however, that if you are already a methodological solipsist, and accept the principle that one only has an obligation to the extent that one can fulfill it ("ought implies can"), then something like normative solipsism is strongly suggested. Methodological solipsism entails that theory T should allow us to determine what actions are obligatory, permissible, and supererogatory for you. If ought implies can is correct, then a person who is more autonomous would have more obligations than a person who is less autonomous. If one's view of humanity is centrally as creatures that are answerable to norms, then it's better to be more fully in the space of reasons, bound to more correct obligations. Our autonomy then becomes the characteristically human way we are able to achieve characteristically human goods.
But this kind of thinking leads to a radically warped view of human flourishing. In his TLS review of Alisdair MacIntyre's Dependent Rational Animals*** Blackburn starts by asking the question of why philosopher's depictions of people living the highest life are so reliably absurd. If I remember right he quotes Nietzsche and Aristotle for evidence of the absurdity. According to Blackburn, in every case the absurdity is due to the overestimation of a certain kind of autonomy as a human good. MacIntyre's late era metaphysical picture,**** on the other hand, stresses the radical dependence that human beings have on one another.
Slavoj Žižek has a routine about people who want to treat health care as a market. Žižek asks if we really want to have to deal with every health transaction in the same way we have to deal with buying a car. His simple point is that the freedom to do things worthwhile is only possible with respect to not being autonomous in all sorts of other areas in one's life. This isn't a point merely about capitalism but a metaphysical point about human beings. We're obviously radically dependent while young and old, and in between we make things worse by trying to convince ourselves that we are not radically dependent upon one another. But, at least in the hands of philosophers, this normative solipsism leads to a warped model of human flourishing. But Žižek (really Hegel, whom he cites) is correct. There's no such thing as "autonomy," if one means by that something the quantity of which can be added to people so that they are more or less autonomous. Notions such as "autonomy"***** and "freedom" are always going to only make sense relative both to the other humans on which we are dependent and the kind of activity in question. At least on their classical understanding, neither is an unalloyed good.
From reading people like Shelly Tremain (one of the principle bloggers at Discrimination and Disadvantage) I know that disability theorists have keen insight into the failings of normative solipsism. But from Barnes' essay, I wonder if that mainstream analytic philosophy has been almost constitutively resistant to these insights.
I should note that there is also a gendered aspect to normative solipsism. Consider Kevin Drumm's recent hypothesis for why libertarians are overwhelmingly men:
Jeet Heer investigates a burning question today: why are most libertarians men? He offers several plausible explanations, but I think he misses the real one, perhaps because it's pretty unflattering to libertarians. So here's the quick answer: Hardcore libertarianism is a fantasy. It's a fantasy where the strongest and most self-reliant folks end up at the top of the heap, and a fair number of men share the fantasy that they are these folks. They believe they've been held back by rules and regulations designed to help the weak, and in a libertarian culture their talents would be obvious and they'd naturally rise to positions of power and influence. Most of them are wrong, of course. In a truly libertarian culture, nearly all of them would be squashed like ants—mostly by the same people who are squashing them now. But the fantasy lives on regardless. Few women share this fantasy. I don't know why, and I don't really want to play amateur sociologist and guess. Perhaps it's something as simple as the plain observation that in the more libertarian past, women were subjugated to men almost completely. Why would that seem like an appealing fantasy?
The last paragraph shows how Drum realizes his answer pushes the question back further. Libertarianism feeds into a typically masculine fantasy. But why are men more likely to suffer from these kinds of delusions?
In any case, a constitutive part of the delusion is the denial of the manner in which radical dependency is a constitutive part of the human good. We are only free to do things we find worthwhile (which is the only form of freedom worth having) because we so radically depend on others. And a major part of the meaning we discover is in helping one another and being helped. I suspect that methodological and normative solipsism in some ways delivers academic philosophy into a more refined version of the libertarian fantasy, and that a non-trivial amount of the cruelty described by Barnes is a function of this. To be disabled is often to be dependent in some aspect of your life where other people of similar age are not so dependent. If you believed in the myth of autonomy strongly enough (both that it's the summum bonum and that it's additive), then abhorrent views Barnes recounts might actually start to seem commonsensical.
Barnes describes her forthcoming book thusly:
I’m now putting the very finishing touches on a book on disability, though, so that strange and unnatural thing is more or less what I’ve been doing for the last two years. My book is an attempt to show that the the kinds of things that often get said about disability within the Disability Rights Movement – that disability is a valuable part of human diversity, that disability is a social identity that disabled people should claim and be proud of, that many of the most significant harms of being disabled are social harms – have clear philosophical defenses and aren’t nearly as counterintuitive as many philosophers seem to assume.
I can't wait to read this book. The task seems vital to me, not just with respect to social justice issues involving disability (though clearly, that's important enough) but with respect to our conceptions of both what it is to be a person and what it is to be a a certain kind of person who claims to love wisdom.
[Notes:
*For what it's worth, I defend such a position in my article in the Priest, Beall, Amour-Garb law of non-contradiction anthology. I still think that something like moral dialetheism is right, though after thinking through Barnes' piece these last few weeks, if I were to return to that project I would probably only still believe it if I could motivate it in a significantly different manner.
**My colleague James Rocha has an account of autonomy whereby an act's status as autonomous depends in part on whether it is conducive to goodness. This is a radical departure from the standard autonomy theory fare involving meta-beliefs and meta-desires invoked to deal with akrasia (surprise, surprise, often involving diet). In addition to dealing with that literature's characteristic aporia, Rocha's view strikes me as important and plausible because it fits so much better with the Hegelian critique of libertarian accounts of freedom.
***It stinks that the Times Literary Supplement does not publicly archive Simon Blackburn's wonderful book reviews.
****I think on the standard narrative told by "social-practice theorist" fans of MacIntyre, he quickly abandoned the After Virtue callfor a non-Aristotelian account of teleology. I see Dependent Rational Animals as very much as part of an answer to that call. I hope some day to be able to reread the books in between with that in mind.
*****Again, I think James Rocha's account of autonomy accommodates this.] | positive |

The summer months are usually a time when the smartphone industry takes a bit of a breather in terms of announcing new flagship devices. That may not be the case for the summer of 2017. In addition to rumors that Android co-founder Andy Rubin could launch his mysterious “Essential” phone during that time period, OnePlus has admitted its next flagship phone, the OnePlus 5, is due for a launch sometime in the summer.
The rumored hardware specs for the OnePlus 5 point towards a phone that can compete with devices like the LG G6, the HTC U11 and the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. However, one of the mainstays of the OnePlus lineup is that it offers phones that have cheaper price points than its competition. In a recent article about the OnePlus 5, we found out, via unnamed sources, that the starting price for the phone could be as high as $650 when it launches (even if we doubt it would be that high).
While the prices of OnePlus’ phones have indeed gone up since the company’s first handset launched a few years ago, a $650 price point would put it at or near the prices of its more mainstream rivals. So the question is: can the OnePlus 5 become a sales success even if its price is close to that of its competitors?
The case for a higher price
First, let’s go over the rumored hardware specs for the OnePlus 5, keeping in mind that some of these features have not been officially confirmed. The phone is rumored to have a 5.5-inch screen, with either a Full HD or a QHD display. Inside, the phone will have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, as admitted by OnePlus themselves. That platform sits at the top of the performance hill in mobile phone chips. The device is rumored to come with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, but another report claims the OnePlus 5 may have a variant with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.
Other rumors about the phone claim it will have a dual-rear camera setup, a fingerprint sensor in the front, a 3,600 mAh battery, a ceramic and metal build and possibly a curved screen. All of that would suggest that the OnePlus 5 will indeed have a higher price than the $399 cost that was placed for the launch of the OnePlus 3 a year ago, or for the $439 price for the OnePlus 3T launch in late 2016.
Our story’s sources have told us the company is looking into putting in “more costly components” for the OnePlus 5, so a price of $650 doesn’t sound like it’s an unreasonable amount. The price of the Galaxy S8 is around $750, with no dual camera and lower storage space, while the price of the HTC U11 is $649, again without a dual camera and smaller amounts of storage. The LG G6’s normal price is about the same as the HTC U11, although we have seen some carriers and retailers start selling it for as low as $500 just a few weeks after it launched.
The point is that it looks like the OnePlus 5 is going to have either the same specs, or higher, than its main competition while having either the same price as its rivals or even a bit cheaper. We think that even though the OnePlus 5 might have a significantly higher price than its predecessors, its specs would still make it competitive. Ultimately, the OnePlus 5 could be just as much of a sales success as its previous models, with some budget-conscious fans being replaced by an equal number of new customers with deeper pockets.
The case for a lower price
On the other hand, there are many buyers of the older OnePlus phones who were attracted to them primarily because they were affordable. They may not want or care about even more high-end specs or more premium components and materials like ceramic; they may just want to purchase a phone that works well for a reasonable unlocked price. If that’s the case, then a higher price for the OnePlus 5 may turn those buyers off: destroying the original OnePlus recipe might mean the OnePlus 5 loses its most enticing characteristic.
We have seen this type of thing happen before. Google’s older Nexus devices were much cheaper than the competition, but the launch of the Pixel and Pixel XL saw the company embrace a higher price for their smartphones. Many people who bought the Nexus phones were not happy that Google decided to increase their prices for the Pixel models, and that kind of backlash could also affect the launch of the OnePlus 5. However, several OEMs, Google included, have done perfectly well with more premium prices coupled with a higher marketing budget.

The verdict
Ultimately, the team at OnePlus know that if its next phone is going to go up against the best from Samsung, LG, Motorola, HTC and other companies for your hard-earned money, they also need to compete in terms of offering the best components. Unfortunately, these internals don’t come cheap, and there’s only so much OnePlus can do to keep the price down on the OnePlus 5.
While we definitely think there will be a few OnePlus fans who will not be pleased with a price hike, we still think the company would do well with a higher priced OnePlus 5, as long as its hardware specs are equal, or even beyond, the flagship phones offered from its rivals. As we’ve noted previously, even at $650 you’d be getting a lot more from OnePlus than you would from any other manufacturer. We look forward to seeing what OnePlus has up its sleeves and whether or not the original magic can be sustained at a higher price point. Thankfully, it looks like we won’t have to wait too long to find out.
In the meantime, we want to hear from you on this topic. Do you think a higher price for the OnePlus 5 is justified if they have the right hardware specs and materials? On the other hand, do you think OnePlus should keep the price of this phone down to the levels of its older handsets? Let us know what you think in the comments! | positive |

Switzerland has formally withdrawn her long-standing application to join the European Union (EU), as only “a few lunatics” now want to be involved with the bloc. The verdict comes just one week before Britons go to the polls to decide on whether to retain their membership of the political union.
Twenty-seven members of the Council of States, Switzerland’s upper house, voted in favour of cancelling the application, against 13 who opposed the motion. Two abstained, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung has reported.
The vote ratifies an earlier vote held by Parliamentarians in the lower house in March, which saw the motion to withdraw the application agreed to with an overwhelming majority of 126 in favour, 46 against.
In response to the federal vote, Switzerland’s foreign minister Didier Burkhalter confirmed that his country will now give formal notice to the EU to consider the Swiss application officially withdrawn.
Switzerland’s application to join the European Economic Area, the precursor to the EU, was lodged in 1992, but a referendum held the same year on the matter saw the Swiss people narrowly turned down the prospect of closer ties to the bloc, putting the application on ice.
It has never been seriously revived in the intervening 24 years, prompting Mr. Burkhalter to previously comment that the application has long been considered invalid.
Nonetheless, Thomas Minder, an independent representative said he was keen to “close the topic fast and painlessly,” adding that only “a few lunatics” still wished to join the EU.
His colleague Hannes Germann of the Swiss People’s Party compared the symbolic nature of the vote to Iceland’s decision to drop its own application in 2015. “Iceland had the courage to withdrew their application for membership and no volcano erupted,” he joked.
And Damian Mueller of the Free Democratic Party said it was necessary “to make a clean sweep”.
But others have argued that it was a pointless discussion as the EU no longer considers Switzerland a candidate country. Filippo Lombardi of the Christian Democratic People’s Party said that it was “not very clever to discuss it once again,” calling the debate about Switzerland’s accession at this stage “a bit ridiculous”.
Although Switzerland has never been a part of the EU, it is a member of the single market. Switzerland is also one of the richest countries in the world, with a GDP per capita of US$ 80,675 in 2015, according to the International Monetary Fund. Britain’s GDP per capita in the same year was nearly half as much at US$ 43,771.
Christoph Blocher, the Swiss former MP who led the charge to keep Switzerland out of the EU in 1992, has told The Spectator that Project Fear was deployed in that referendum, too. One politician predicted at the time that if it didn’t join, within five years it would be begging to do so “on its knees”.
In fact, those predictions never came to pass. “The Monday after the Sunday, the Bourse rose,” Mr. Blocher recalls.
But he agrees that Britain wouldn’t get the same deal as the Swiss post-Brexit: “No, you’d get a much better deal.”
His conclusion: “I think if you [Britain] leave the EU it will be very good for you.” | positive |
Story highlights The girl is in stable condition
To date, the WHO has been informed of 54 cases, including 30 deaths
A 14-year-old Saudi girl is the latest confirmed case of the sometimes deadly MERS virus, the WHO said Wednesday.
To date, the World Health Organization has been informed of 54 cases, including 30 deaths.
The Saudi health ministry told the agency that the girl became ill on May 29. She is in stable condition.
Middle East respiratory symptom coronavirus, or MERS, acts like a cold virus and attacks the respiratory system, the U.S.-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said. But symptoms, which include fever and a cough, are severe and can lead to pneumonia and kidney failure.

Coronaviruses cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to SARS, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, as well as a variety of animal diseases.
Health officials do not yet know much about how the newly discovered virus spreads, which makes it hard for scientists to prevent infections, Chan said.
The WHO is calling for the world to pull together its resources to study and tackle the virus. | positive |

Sheik (pronounced /ʃiːk/ sheek)[2] is a recurring persona assumed by Princess Zelda throughout The Legend of Zelda series,[3] used to disguise herself as a male Sheikah.[4] In Ocarina of Time, he claims to be the survivor of the Sheikahs.[1] Sheik aids Link on his quest by teaching him various warp songs with his Harp. He does not reveal his identity or motives to Link until all the Sages are freed.
Sheik reveals himself to Link shortly after Link is freed from the Chamber of Sages after his seven-year imprisonment.[5] He informs Link that he must awaken the seven sages in order to bring peace back to Hyrule.[6] Alerting him of the need to acquire the Hookshot in order to enter the temples, Sheik stays in front of the pedestal.[7] He later appears when Link arrives at the Sacred Forest Meadow. He tells Link about the warp songs used to warp to temple entrances and teaches him the Minuet of Forest before disappearing again.[8] Further along, Sheik approaches Link at the Fire Temple entrance in the Death Mountain Crater, teaching him the Bolero of Fire before walking away, using a wall of flame to halt Link's inquiring advance.[9]
Sheik once again mysteriously appears in the Ice Cavern to inform Link of the fate of the Zoras and to teach him the Serenade of Water.[10][11] He then waits outside the Water Temple for Link to free it from Morpha's influence and awaken the Sage of Water before disappearing once again.
When Kakariko Village comes under attack from a mysterious force, Link discovers that Sheik is already there. Together they encounter and are defeated by an invisible monster thought to be the Shadow Spirit. Sheik teaches Link the Nocturne of Shadow and urges Link to help Impa fight the Shadow Spirit.[12] When Link discovers that he must venture back in time in order to do so, Sheik offers a helping hand informing Link on how to use the Master Sword and the Pedestal of Time in order to travel back and forth through time.[13] He teaches Link the Prelude of Light before vanishing once again.[14]
At the entrance of the Spirit Temple, Sheik appears to have been waiting for Link from atop a large rock formation and once again informs Link that he must enter the temple as a child, utilizing the Pedestal of Time in the Temple of Time.[15] He gives Link a lesson on performing the Requiem of Spirit before using the desert winds as cover to vanish.[16]
With all six sages freed, Link is instructed to return to the Temple of Time where Sheik awaits. Sheik congratulates Link on his efforts and offers an explanation on what happened to Hyrule during Link's disappearance before finally revealing his true identity as Princess Zelda.
Ocarina of Time (Himekawa)
Ocarina of Time manga by Akira Himekawa Sheik's mouth uncovered in themanga by Akira Himekawa
In the Ocarina of Time manga by Akira Himekawa, Sheik first appears to Link having tended his wounds after being defeated by Volvagia. Sheik is a spy for Ganondorf and later shows up to tell Link a rumor that Princess Zelda had been spotted in the Desert of Illusions, before vanishing again. On Link's way through the Desert, he nearly succumbs to blistering sands before Sheik pulls him out and continues to travel with him. Later that night, Link is attacked by illusions and images of his past, but Sheik is unaffected; Link wonders if it could be due to a lack of past in Sheik's life. Once reaching the Gerudo Fortress, Sheik knocks Link out, and the Hero is captured.
Once Link frees himself, he fights through the ranks of Gerudo, before Sheik comes to him with his sword and shield. Throwing them to Link, Sheik attacks the invisible Twinrova, who were watching nearby. They accuse Sheik of being a traitor. Sheik replies," A traitor? I was never one of you!" The Twinrova then blast Sheik into unconsciousness.
After escaping with the unconscious Sheik, Link finds a cave to rest in. He leaves to find water, flustered after getting too close to Sheik. He returns to find that Sheik, having awoken with the face wrappings off, appears to be female. Fully transforming, Sheik is revealed to be Zelda, who later explains that she had Impa lock her consciousness away and assume the disguise of a Sheikah boy.
Super Smash Bros. Series
See SmashWiki's article on Sheik for more information.
Sheik first appears in the Super Smash Bros. series in Super Smash Bros. Melee. As Princess Zelda, she has the option of transforming into Sheik by pressing down the Stick while holding the B Button. Sheik has a completely different moveset than Zelda that are not based on magic, as her moves and weapons are quick and similar to those of a ninja. Sheik is referred to as a female in the Super Smash Bros. series (although Sheik is referred to as a male in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate).
Sheik appears again in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Although she did not appear in Twilight Princess, the character model was based on a design drafted during the game's development.[17] Hyrule Historia contains designs of Twilight Princess Zelda as she would appear as Sheik, drawn specifically for Super Smash Bros. Brawl.[18]
She has mostly the same moveset from Super Smash Bros. Melee, and shares a Final Smash with Zelda, the Light Arrows, although Sheik's deals more damage. In addition, Sheik can now crawl, wall jump, and use her Chain move as a tether recovery.
In The Subspace Emissary mode from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Sheik is first introduced after Solid Snake saves Zelda and Peach when they are captured inside the Halberd. Although he orders them to stay put, Zelda transforms into Sheik to escape along with Peach to the battleship's front deck. Eventually, they reach their destination when suddenly Fox in his Arwing destroys one of the airship's turrets, shooting near where Peach was walking. Thinking that Fox was aiming at Peach, Sheik teleports onto Fox’s Arwing and, using her hand, shatters the cockpit window. This forces Fox to eject out of the Arwing and land on the battleship’s front deck along with Sheik. Although the two begin to fight, Peach stops them by offering a cup of tea to Fox. Confused at first, Fox looks over to see that Sheik has already begun drinking the tea, thus realizing that Sheik and Peach are not his enemies as he accepts Peach's offer and joins them.
Sheik returns in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U as a separate character, no longer being a transformation of Zelda. Due to this, several new special moves exclusive to the Super Smash Bros. series were added to both characters' movesets. These include the Burst Grenade and Bouncing Fish for Sheik, and the Phantom Slash for Zelda.
Sheik also appears in several Trophies and a Sticker in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U games.
Sheik returns as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. His design is now based on the Stealth Set from Breath of the Wild. He retains all of his basic move set but with a different Final Smash.
Special Moves
Sheik gathering her needles
Needle Storm is Sheik's neutral special move. By pressing the B Button, Sheik will grab some needles into her fingers and then throw them at the opponent. The longer the B Button is held, the more needles Sheik will hold between her fingers, with the maximum amount of five. Each needle does approximately 3% of damage, allowing this move to deal a maximum of 18% worth of damage. Sheik can save the needles for a short time by pressing the shield or grab button, and they can be fired by pressing the B Button again. Depending if Sheik is in the ground or not, the needles will strike horizontally or at a 45 degree angle.
Sheik performing her Vanish move
Chain is Sheik's side special move. When used, Sheik will pull out a chain and throw it across the stage. Tilting the analog stick gives the player full control of where the chain moves: sideways, up, and even behind Sheik, damaging any opponent that makes contact with the chain. Although it has poor damage and is sometimes inaccurate, the Chain is a good long-range move. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Chain now electrocutes any nearby foe and it can now be used as a tether recovery.
Vanish serves as Sheik's up special move. By pressing up in the control stick and the B Button, Sheik will disappear and then instantly reappear high above in a cloud of smoke. The position in where Sheik will reappear can be determined by tilting the control stick in a certain direction. Although Vanish does not travel as far as Zelda's Farore's Wind, it causes more damage than the magic spell.
Transform, which is Sheik's down special move, allows her to transform back into Princess Zelda. The transformation is faster in Super Smash Bros. Melee than in Super Smash Bros. Brawl; however, in the former, it can be interrupted by any regular attack, and in the latter, Zelda and Sheik are invulnerable as long as it lasts.

# Trophy First Game / Move Description How to unlock 43
Sheik Ocarina of Time
11/98 This is Zelda's alter ego. Using a variation of the name of the ancient Sheikah tribe, she appears before Link and teaches him melodies instrumental to his success. It's believed that she's not just a quick-change artist, but rather that she is able to instantaneously alter her clothing and her eye and skin color by using her magical skills. Complete Classic Mode as Zelda or Sheik 44
Sheik [Smash] B: Needle Storm
Smash B: Chain Strategically switching between Zelda and Sheik is key. Compared to her Zelda form, Sheik is nimble and has gorgeous moves, but she lacks a strong knockout attack. The number of needles thrown in Needle Storm is based on how long you hold the B Button before releasing it. Use the Control Stick to wave the Chain after brandishing it. Complete Adventure Mode as Zelda or Sheik 45
Sheik [Smash] Up & B: Vanish
Down & B: Transform The best strategy to use when playing as Sheik is to let her flow from one powerful attack into another, like a river of quicksilver. Zelda has some techniques with more punch, however, so in one-on-one battles, use Transform as needed. Sheik only travels a short way when using Vanish , but the move comes with a small explosion that damages foes around her. Complete All-Star Mode as Zelda or Sheik
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
# Trophy Significant Games Description How to unlock 184
Sheik Ocarina of Time The persona Zelda adopted to escape from Ganondorf. She completely hid all traces of her Zelda identity and appeared to Link as the last member of the Sheikah tribe. She taught Link essential ocarina melodies and then vanished in an instant. She didn't appear very often--rather, she would show up to support Link in crucial situations. Clear Classic Mode as Sheik 185
Light Arrow (Sheik) Super Smash Bros. Brawl Sheik's Final Smash . After grabbing a Smash Ball, Sheik will be able to wield a bow of light. The arrow fired from this bow has the power to pass through multiple targets, so it will damage all enemies in the direction it flies. This, coupled with its shield-breaking power, makes it even more terrible. Even in Sheik form, Zelda's ability as an archer is undiminished. Clear All-Star Mode as Sheik

Ocarina of Time 3D In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Sheik claimed to be a surviving Sheikah. However, this was just a cunning disguise for Princess Zelda so that she could escape Ganondorf. In Smash Bros., she's the complete opposite of Zelda, striking with fast attacks that can keep an opponent off balance. Clear Classic Mode as Sheik Sheik 186 Ocarina of Time
Ocarina of Time 3D Sheik's Burst Grenade side special throws a small grenade that draws in nearby fighters before exploding. Once the button has been released, it'll hop or explode after a time. The down special Bouncing Fish is an attack where Sheik strikes with both heels, falling similarly to the way a fish might flop around. Clear All-Star Mode as Sheik
Random Sheik (Alt.) 187 N/A - Sheik's Final Smash uses a gigantic bow to fire a Light Arrow across the screen. If multiple foes are in its path, it will strike them all, ignoring shields like they're not even there. Sheik's Light Arrow is more damaging than Zelda's, and it launches its victims at a lower angle. Clear All-Star mode as Sheik Light Arrow (Sheik)
Sticker Information
Hyrule Warriors
Hyrule Warriors Sheik playing the Goddess's Harp in
Sheik appears as a playable character in Hyrule Warriors. She appears in the story when Princess Zelda goes missing. Unlike her previous incarnations, Sheik does not go to great lengths to hide her feminine physique.
Sheik uses a Harp as her primary weapon, with which she plays the "Song of Storms" along with other warping songs from Ocarina of Time. As Sheik performs combo attacks, an elemental song note will appear beneath her Special Attack gauge. The notes allows Sheik to perform different charge attacks based on the element. The "Nocturne of Shadows" produces a field of darkness that paralyzes enemies and damages them. The "Serenade of Water" surrounds Sheik in a shield of water that can absorb up to four hearts worth of damage. The "Song of Storms" produces an electric whirlwind that surrounds Sheik even while moving. The "Bolero of Fire" creates a delayed flame geyser detonation. The "Prelude of Light" creates a field of light that will regenerate her Special meter when standing in it. When activating Focus Spirit, Sheik performs "Saria's Song". When deactivating it in front of a group of enemies, sprouts grow from the ground and suddenly burst into trees. Sheik's special attack has her strum her Harp in rhythm, causing a huge wave of notes on surrounding enemies, like in Skyward Sword. She also uses a kunai for basic, quick attacks.
Sheik is later revealed to be Princess Zelda in disguise during the Lake Hylia stage.[19] She had been in disguise to protect her identity from the enemy forces. From this point in the game, Sheik and Zelda both become options for story stages. If players chose to play as either Sheik or Zelda, Ruto will take Zelda's place as leader of the Hyrulean Army. | positive |

Count me as one of the people who have bought into Ryan Mallett as a starting quarterback in the NFL. I understand he has limited game film out there and his stats don’t scream Canton, only 400 yards two touchdowns and two picks in 2014.
But let’s not focus so much on the game where he struggled against Cincinnati for the simple reason being, he wasn’t healthy. I know it’s a game where you play through pain, but a torn pectoral muscle is not pain. That is an injury, and it affected his play during that contest.
So the one game Mallett was truly healthy was against Cleveland when he posted a 95.3 quarterback rating with 211 yards and two touchdowns. Now, he wasn’t perfect in the game as he also threw an interception, but we saw glimpses of promise from the young signal-caller.
That is the Ryan Mallett that Texans fans should be excited about, because that is the guy who will line up under center completely healthy in 2015. No matter how many people want to say there is a competition between Ryan and the newly signed quarterback Brian Hoyer, this is Mallett’s job to lose.
Mallett came to Houston for one reason, to be the quarterback of the future. An injury may have slow this process down, but while he has been patiently waiting to get back on the field, he has been showing all the signs of being the strong and positive leader the Houston Texans need him to be.
Drew Dougherty wrote a piece on the Houston Texans website about how Mallett has been a strong presence for the Texans despite the way his season ended.
“In years past, other Texans have been injured in the second half of the season, and they were never seen or heard from until they signed with a new squad the following spring. Not Mallett. He was on the sidelines for the final five games of the year, as the Texans went 4-1 and nearly got into the playoffs. In January and February, he’d duck in and out of the cafeteria. Whether finishing a workout or on his way to the training room, he was already around. Mallett even showed up with Bill O’Brien and his teammates at Texas Children’s Hospital less than two weeks ago, decked out in Texans gear and a smile, to play with young patients and spread a little cheer.” – Dougherty
Mallett said that while the camaraderie was huge that he really was also trying to keep mentally sharp by being around as much as possible. He has taken on his role with this team the right way, and I believe he will not only be the Texans starting quarterback on opening day, but he will keep that job for several years to come. | positive |
VIDEO 14´
by Jaime Alekos
In the early hours of September 25th, 2013, over a hundred riot police forced their way into a Madrid apartment under orders to evict Isabel Rodríguez, her husband, eight-year-old daughter, and parents. The apartment belongs to the Municipal Housing and Land Agency (EMVS) of Madrid.
EMVS, a public limited company fully funded by the Madrid City Council, is responsible for developing the city’s housing policy with a focus on affordable housing for those in financial difficulties. According to EMVS, it provides a public service.
Isabel’s parents were rehoused in the apartment after their own home was expropriated 24 years ago. Isabel moved into her parent’s home to look after her mother who suffers from a bipolar disorder and her father who has a degenerative illness.
Madrid city council claims that Isabel’s parents owe €1,000 and own two properties, which disqualify them from public housing. Isabel denies the debt and claims she has tried several times to pay but the payments have been returned. As to the two properties, she maintains that in the case of one she has bare ownership (she can only live there when the current occupant dies) and the other has been foreclosed. She and her husband are unemployed and have no home of their own.
Manuel Sanpastor, a lawyer with the Platform for Social and Public Housing Victims (PAVPS), a sister organization of the Platform for Mortgage Victims (PAH), has no doubt that the housing block where Isabel has lived in Villaverde, a working-class area in the south-east of Madrid, will be sold to a private investment fund in order to pay debt owed by the Madrid housing agency. In June 2013 the mayor of Madrid, Ana Botella, sold 1,800 publicly owned flats to the venture capital company Blackstone.
According to Sanpastor, the sale of protected-rent flats to investment funds has led to a significant increase in evictions from public housing in Madrid, to the point where the cases notified to PAH and neighbourhood assemblies in the past 12 months have exceeded the number of evictions owing to mortgage defaults.
Local housing groups have created platforms which focus specifically on evictions from public housing. They blame EMVS and IVIMA (the equivalent organization of the Madrid autonomous region, also hugely in debt) for failing to negotiate solutions in cases of non-payment, not agreeing to talk to those affected, and for refusing to accept payment of sums owed, which enables the evictions to go ahead and the subsequent sale of public housing to private investment funds.
Rodríguez and her family are now living in the courtyard of the block from which she was evicted. Relatives and neighbours provide them with meals and have helped the family set up an awning to protect them from the rain.
With unemployment at over 25%, wage cuts and increasingly precarious work conditions, an estimated 350,000 families have been evicted from their homes since Spain’s property market crashed in 2008. There are 500 evictions a day, according to government figures. Even after repossession, homeowners in Spain remain liable to repay whatever value is left on the mortgage.
Juliane Kokott, the European Court of Justice’s advocate general, has criticised the current rules on evictions, saying they violate European consumer protection rules. | positive |

John Dominis, a Life magazine photographer who was known for capturing celebrities, wild animals and presidents at their unguarded best, and who was caught off guard himself while taking his most famous picture — of two American medal winners raising black-gloved fists at the 1968 Olympics — died on Monday at his home in Manhattan. He was 92.
The cause was a heart ailment, said his daughter, Dori Dominis Beer.
Mr. Dominis was a star among a stable of star photographers at Life, the nation’s most popular picture magazine, from 1950 until it ended weekly issues, in 1972.
Ingratiating, self-effacing and ruggedly handsome, he was often assigned to photograph people who preferred not to be photographed. He spent a month in 1963 with the actor Steve McQueen (nearly feral in his aversion to publicity), who was not yet the superstar he became. He persuaded Frank Sinatra to indulge him for three months in 1965 while he went inside his prickly circle of friends, family, drivers and handlers to photograph his life. | positive |

One of the hardest things in life is not to know what’s coming down the pike. Unpredictability can be enjoyable at times, of course, and it’s sort of a given in life, but it’s different when you don't know if something bad out there will befall you. That situation usually just leads to stress. A new study out in Nature Communications today finds that indeed most people would rather know for certain that they’re going to get an electric shock than to not be able to predict it. These results may not come as too much of a shock to those of us who have dealt with psychological stressors, but it does suggest that strategies and gadgets that give us more predictive power may be quite soothing–like notification about how far off the next subway is. And when that kind of prediction is not possible, strategies to get us through uncertain times in one piece–like practicing mindfulness–may be very valuable.
The team from University College London had participants come into the lab and play a computer game, in which snakes were hiding under certain rocks. The participants could learn over time which rocks were more likely to hide a snake–the catch was that they got a slightly painful shock to their hands for each snake they found. A computer model estimated each participant’s level of uncertainty for each choice they made, using the guesses they made over time. The participants’ stress levels were also measured physiologically, by the size of their pupils and how much they perspired.
What the study found was that participants were the most stressed when they were more uncertain about the situation than when they were certain about either thing happening. In other words, it seems that people feel better about knowing what’s coming–even if it’s painful–than not knowing.
"Using our model we could predict how stressed our subjects would be not just from whether they got shocks but how much uncertainty they had about those shocks," explains lead author Archy de Berker. "Our experiment allows us to draw conclusions about the effect of uncertainty on stress. It turns out that it's much worse not knowing you are going to get a shock than knowing you definitely will or won't. We saw exactly the same effects in our physiological measures–people sweat more and their pupils get bigger when they are more uncertain."
And this makes sense if you think about the real world applications. Being told layoffs may be coming months down the line may actually feel a lot worse than just being fired one day. The same applies to the positive things we anticipate. "When applying for a job,” says study author Robb Rutledge, “you'll probably feel more relaxed if you think it's a long shot or if you're confident that it's in the bag. The most stressful scenario is when you really don't know. It's the uncertainty that makes us anxious. The same is likely to apply in many familiar situations, whether it's waiting for medical results or information on train delays."
This is because it’s easier to plan for the future when you know what the deal is, even if it’s bad. Not knowing where things stand may have served a purpose for our ancestors, but it’s not so much of a help now. “Modern life comes with many potential sources of uncertainty and stress, but it has also introduced ways of addressing them," says author Sven Bestmann. "For example, taxi apps that show where a car is can offer peace of mind by reducing the uncertainty about when it will arrive. Real-time information boards at bus stops and train platforms perform a similar role, although this can be undermined by unspecified delays which cause stress for passengers and staff alike."
Shock studies in humans are interesting because they tell us a lot about the kinds of decisions we make, and preferences we have. A couple of years ago, researchers from the University of Virginia looked at whether people would rather sit alone in a room with distractions like music, sit with no distractions, or sit and give themselves a mild electric shocks. And lo and behold, people (especially men) would rather shock themselves than be by themselves alone with their thoughts. This new study is not too far off–suggesting that we’d rather know what’s coming, even if it’s bad, than not be able to predict it. Because not knowing can lead to all sorts of terrible outcomes in your head–more terrible that what actually ends up happening.
As Bestmann mentions, there are little things we can invent to help with some of the uncertainty in daily life, like apps and Googling for real-time info. Otherwise, since uncertainty is sort of a given in many other areas, learning how to sit with that feeling (as in mindfulness and meditation) and to navigate through it without coming apart, is probably about the best thing we can do. | positive |
She's no longer the Getty goddess, but statue is still a puzzle
The goddess statue leaves one controversy behind to find a new home in a small museum in Aidone, Italy, but still in question is which deity she actually represents.
It seems a fitting new home for the J. Paul Getty Museum's famous cult statue of a goddess, which many experts now believe represents Persephone, not Aphrodite, as she has long been known.
When Greek colonists settled the region some 2,500 years ago, they built cult sanctuaries to Persephone and her mother, Demeter. The ruins of Morgantina, the major Greek settlement built here, brim with terra-cotta and stone icons of the two deities.
It was here on the shores of Lake Pergusa that ancient sources say Persephone, the goddess of fertility, was abducted by Hades and taken to the underworld. She was forced to return there for three months every year, the Greek explanation for the barren months of winter.
Reporting from Aidone, Italy — — In ancient times, central Sicily was the bread basket of the Western world. Fields of rolling wheat and wildflowers, groves of olive and pomegranate and citrus — even today, fertility seems to spring from the volcanic soils surrounding Mt. Etna as if by divine inspiration.
Since the Getty's controversial purchase of the statue in 1988 for $18 million, painstaking investigations by police, curators, academics, journalists, attorneys and private investigators have pieced together the statue's journey from an illicit excavation in Morgantina in the late 1970s to the Getty Museum.
The Getty returned the goddess to Italy this spring, and a new exhibition showing the statue and other repatriated antiquities from a private American collector and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York was inaugurated here last week.
The goddess' new home is a 17th century Capuchin monastery that now serves as the archaeological museum in Aidone, a hilltop village of about 6,000 residents. The cozy museum, which holds up to 150 visitors at a time, contains the most important objects discovered in the nearby ruins of Morgantina.
During its 22 years at the Getty Museum, the statue was virtually ignored by scholars, thanks largely to the aura of controversy that surrounded it. But as the scandal recedes, new, deeper mysteries about her are finally coming to the fore.
Who is the goddess? Does her slightly awkward marble head really belong atop the massive limestone body? Where precisely was she found? And what can she tell us about the ancient Greek colonists who worshipped her some 2,400 years ago?
The fact that so little is known about the marble and limestone statue — one of the few surviving sculptures from the apex of Western art — illustrates the lasting harm brought by looting and the trade in illicit antiquities. As the goddess was smuggled through the black market, she was stripped of her meaning and rendered a mute object of beauty.
The one thing scholars agree upon is her importance. The goddess' clinging, windblown drapery is a clear reference to Phidias, the Greek master who a few decades earlier carved the figures that adorned the Parthenon in Greece — many of which now reside in the British Museum.
"It's one of the very few examples we have from the high Classical period," said Katerina Greco, a Sicilian archaeological official and leading expert in Greek art who wrote one of the few studies of the statue. "There is nothing like it in Italy."
Today, central Sicily is an underdeveloped backwater of Europe. Just 17,000 visitors currently see the archaeological museum in Aidone where the statue now sits. At the Getty, about 400,000 saw her every year.
Residents here hope that the statue's return marks the beginning of a new chapter, one focused on economic development and a deeper understanding of the goddess' identity and significance. | positive |

Not to be confused with metaphysical libertarianism or cultural libertarianism , or especially civil libertarianism.
“ ” One of the more pretentious political self-descriptions is “Libertarian.” People think it puts them above the fray. It sounds fashionable, and to the uninitiated, faintly dangerous. Actually, it’s just one more One of the more pretentious political self-descriptions is “Libertarian.” People think it puts them above the fray. It sounds fashionable, and to the uninitiated, faintly dangerous. Actually, it’s just one more bullshit political philosophy. —George Carlin[1]
Libertarianism is, at its simplest, the antonym of authoritarianism.[2] The term has been around since the beginning of the 19th century, first appearing in Joseph Dejacque's letter to Proudhon titled "On the Human Being, Male and Female"[3] and was primarily used for self-identification with anarcho-communism and labor movements. Albert Jay Nock and H. L. Mencken were some of the first prominent figures in the United States that used the term libertarianism[4]. However Murray Rothbard was the person most responsible for popularizing libertarianism as term to describe a political and social philosophy that advocates laissez-faire capitalism as a panacea for virtually everything[5]. Non-libertarians view this as synonymous with oligarchic plutocracy after the fashion of the American Gilded Age, while the reality-based community tends to realize that one cannot just yank economic theories out of the air and magically expect them to work.
This anti-government phenomenon is found primarily throughout most Western countries, particularly in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe. In reference to the latter, the term "liberal" is generally used to define the American and Canadian meaning of neoclassical libertarianism, while the word "libertarian" itself generally refers to the general support of individual freedoms, regardless of economic policy. Historically, the term has been associated with libertarian socialism and even sometimes anarchism in its more extreme case, but this article mainly covers the libertarianism in the United States, or what's also called "right-libertarianism" (as in "right-wing", not being right).
The US political party most aligned with libertarianism is the Libertarian Party, "America's Third Largest Party,"[6] whose candidate obtained 4.5 million, or 3.27 percent, of the vote in the 2016 presidential election.[7] This total was greater than their 1 million vote (0.99%) of the popular vote in the 2012 presidential election.[8] and 0.32% of the popular vote[9] in the 2004 presidential election. (Though, if any amount of fairness is to be given to them, First-Past-the-Post election methods are mathematically predetermined to trend towards a Two-Party System.)[10]
There is also an "Objectivist Party," formed as a spin-off from the Libertarian Party by those who thought that the party's 2008 presidential candidate, Bob Barr, was too left-wing,[11] and a Boston Tea Party (no connection other than ideological to that other tea party) formed as a spin-off by those who thought the Libertarian Party had become too right-wing on foreign policy and civil liberties after the LP deleted much of its platform in 2006. Even so, that, again, due to the arbitrary definition of the word itself, makes little sense, as the general notion of libertarianism specifically emphasized on social liberties, with economics having little to do with the definition itself. The term "liberal", however, has come to primarily be associated with the left, due to the moderate left's support of social liberties, which played into the term "libertarian" becoming popularized in the United States in order to differentiate between the two. Even so, it is to be said that the definitions of "left" and "right" are incredibly arbitrary, seeing as, fundamentally, capitalism, despite its many flaws, is, both historically and definitively, more compatible with social progressivism than modern iterations of socialist thought, referring specifically to command-style economics.
Critical definition [ edit ]
“ ” Basically everyone agrees with libertarians on something, but they tend to get freaked out just as quickly by the ideology’s other stances. —Seth Masket[14]
The dominant form of libertarianism (as found in the US) is an ideology based largely on Austrian School economics and Chicago School, or neoclassical, economics. The Austrian School relies on normative axioms, rather than hard empirical analysis, primarily concerned with what is ideal as opposed to "what is". That said, the branch of libertarianism that has had the most success in influencing public policy is primarily informed by the Chicago School.
Proponents of modern libertarianism frequently cite the "Non-Aggression Principle" (NAP) as the moral basis of their ideology. The NAP states that everyone is free to do whatever they want with their lives and property, so long as it does not directly interfere with the freedom of others to do the same. Under this rule, you may only use "force" in response to prior inappropriate force against the life and/or property of yourself or others. Compare and contrast with John Stuart Mill's "The Harm Principle." The critical difference between the two is that libertarians completely oppose the preemptive use of force. By contrast, Mill and other classical liberals believe that the preemptive use of force to prevent likely future harm can be justified, so long as it is for the greater good. Despite this, Mill believed that it should be seen as a last resort. Morally, modern libertarianism, specifically "classical liberals" of the Chicago School, have primarily been influenced by the concept of Utilitarianism on an ethical level, which combines both individualist and some aspects of collectivist thought.
Under any logical scrutiny it becomes evident that the precise definition of aggression is highly subjective and supposes a strict libertarian definition of property.[15] The NAP can therefore be used in almost any way its user intends, by changing the definition of aggression to suit their particular opinion/agenda. For example, throwing someone in prison for massive tax evasion is seen as an act of aggression by the state, whereas selling someone cigarettes knowing they will kill that person is not seen as aggression.
View of Government [ edit ]
“ ” Libertarians secretly worry that ultimately someone will figure out that the whole of their political philosophy boils down to "get off my property". News flash: This is not really a big secret to the rest of us. —John Scalzi[16]
Many libertarians, who do not identify as either classically liberal or more left-wing branches, believe that government is the largest threat to the freedom of an individual. For this reason, they are closely associated with opposition to gun control, government surveillance, entitlements, and prohibitory drug policy.
The primary functions of government that most (emphasis: most) libertarians believe should be permissible elements of the state are:
Civil courts to handle contract disputes (including fraud) and to handle suits of harm (such as dumping of hazardous chemicals on land).
Criminal courts and (sometimes) a prison system.
A police force.
A (small) standing army.
This brand of the ideology, often referred to as "minarchism", is as close to pure anarchy one could get while still getting away with calling themselves "libertarian". This governmental structure is often referred to as a "Night-Watchman State". However, instead of dedicating their lives to defending the lands of Westeros from the Wildlings, these folk focus on dedicating their lives to defending the lands of Western Civilization from anyone whom they deem a "statist", whatever that means.
But it doesn't end there. If one moves down the spectrum towards the extremes, more and more things normally handled by the police and criminal courts are instead handled by civil courts, and eventually even the civil courts are privatized.[17] This is a very ironic philosophy, and, in a sense, makes so-called "libertarians" who believe in this ideology look extremely incoherent for various reasons, other than the fact that "anarchism" is literally the root word of anarcho-capitalism, there are some differences between the latter model and mainstream libertarianism, including minarchism, which is commonly seen as being a halfway point of sorts.
Libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism are often erroneously associated with one-another due to a vast misunderstanding of both philosophies. First of all, it is important to understand the difference between both economic structures. To start, "libertarian" is more of a political label than a specific ideology. In fact, libertarianism is a term that encompasses a very wide range of political ideologies that advocate limited government, on a variety of scales and across the political spectrum. Anarcho-capitalists, which is a specific thought school encompassed within the "anarchist" belief system. By definition, anarcho-capitalism is "right wing" anarchism, although this really only exists on paper. If one takes a closer look at anarcho-capitalism, they will realize that it is basically a sham. Anarcho-capitalists will virulently argue against their corporatist agenda, but if one takes a closer look at the system they will realize that it is nothing more than crony capitalism, if it can even be considered capitalism at all. Over time, trusts and monopolies would continue to merge, with a single major corporate powerhouse running the economy, making the laws, enforcing the laws, and levying taxes to help support its upkeep. There is really nothing libertarian about this, as libertarianism opposes big government and a regulated economy. Anarcho-capitalism is basically just a gateway to a political brand of corporatism where worldwide business conglomerates become a stand-in for the state. Anarcho-capitalism is a clever way to label an ideology catered to line the pockets of robber barons, industrialists, and business executives in order to abolish total protectionism as a means to instill their own personal interests upon those of lower economic status. The whole idea and result of the concept is that, by abolishing the state, that enables the opportunity to establish a new state disguised as a private corporation. Libertarians, on the other hand, are generally for the free market, speaking of those on the more moderate to right wings. Competition and consumer choice are key elements of the free market, as well as an emphasis on small business and firms owned on a more local level.
Most libertarians, even those on the hard left, oppose most forms of taxation (as taxes are "theft of property by force"), and any function of government outside of a general wish list, although, hereby proving that it is not a singularly consistent ideology relating pure policy, there are often-times layers of hypocrisy, as they have a number of things they like over others. Additionally, they are against the use of taxes to deal with externalities, commons, or free rider problems. Their most common remedy for these problems involve the use of civil suits to deal with (negative) externalities, and, in the case of minarchists, the privatization of commons, which allows for civil suits to handle harms to this private property. Of course, these answers are, many times, woefully inadequate in practice.[18]
Libertarians advocate extensive individual rights - an ideological stance that has always been consistent to their core beliefs. Libertarians advocate a society where "anything that's peaceful and voluntary" is allowed so long as it does not infringe on anyone else's life, liberty, or property, or engender force or fraud. However, the exact nature of a right as "positive" or "negative" differs among libertarians, as some may believe that paying taxes for certain social programs is a necessary evil for the sake of national utility (sometimes a view espoused by both classical liberals and left libertarians), while many others on the right believe that the government has no right to take a person's hard earned money to contribute to programs like healthcare, which, while, in its own way, a fair argument from an individual liberty standpoint, is not necessarily for the "greater good", which has always been a principle of libertarian ethical philosophy. It is to be said, that many libertarians are opportunists who hate taxes, often seeing themselves as special and hip for lambasting taxes to the rest of society, when, in reality, everyone, except for maybe masochists hate taxes. That being said, most standard libertarians, left-libertarians, and classical liberals seem to agree that the state and taxes are unfortunate necessities.
All libertarians have an intertwined ethical and moral philosophy that derives from Millian Utilitarianism, in that one should be able to do as they please so long as they don't hurt others or the equally important collective. If one wants to pursue faux pleasure, particularly in the hedonistic sense, they should have a right to live their own life as they please, even if those choices have negative, even harmful, consequences. The idea is that those choices are life's natural learning experiences as a means to do something in a different way in the future. Unfortunately, and while a libertarian state (which are ironically funny words to use together) would (hopefully) never endorse such, actions that can harm the body physically and mentally would be allowed under a free society. For example, one might say smoking in public is a personal liberty that affects nobody, whereas another would say it forces second-hand smoke upon those around them, interfering with their own right to not inhale smoke (note that most libertarians who are fed their talking points from think tanks fall into the former category thanks to second-hand smoke denialism). This is where a divide would rise between classical liberals who believe in a minimal state and minarchists, who believe in a microstate. A classical liberal would most likely appeal to the utilitarian idea that the good of a few people is better for overall utility as opposed to the individual person's desire to smoke a cigarette at that exact location at that exact moment. It inconveniences the non-smokers more than it does the smoker. Mill's liberalism proposed that everyone is entitled to his or her own self-interest (yes, women too) up until he or she impede upon another person's right to exercise their own personal self-interest. The self-interest of classical liberalism, which is also economically applied to policy in Chicago School neoclassicism, differs from the self-interested notions espoused by many run-of-the-mill (No, not John Stuart Mill) conservatives and wingnut libertarians, who seem to misinterpret basic economic and social egoism with egotism. Many minarchists, and even certain Republicans who have never expressed a belief in any libertarian policy or platform in their entire political career have this weird fetish with the novel Atlas Shrugged, by Russian author and self-proclaimed "philosopher" Ayn Rand. To be fair, her anti-communist opinions and literal hatred of even the mixed economy of the free world's democratic system are semi-understandable, in view of her homeland's descent into tyranny under Lenin and Stalin, but she was hardly reasonable. Later on, she garnered a cult of personality that would constantly rave about her half-baked ideology, known as "Objectivism", which itself seems to be based on half-baked interpretations of Aristotle's (somewhat pro-government and ironically somewhat altruistic) philosophies and bad Friedrich Nietzsche readings.
Atlas isn't a terrible book per se, and Rand's ideas sound like gimmicky Evil fun, but then, once finishing it, it becomes clear that, after about a day or so of pondering its content, a logical person will come to realize that the Hobbit has a plot far more grounded in reality. Although, it is to be said that the Dwarves and that Dragon are goldbugs.
Objectivism and Utilitarianism are two completely contrasting philosophies, although both are often applied to modern libertarianism, and the pro-market factions differ in how their views on the topic are expressed. Classical liberals and moderate libertarians are generally more influenced by utilitarianism and other enlightenment philosophers, while objectivism is at the heart of many minarchism circles and paleolibertarianism, and it has since found its way into mainstream conservatism for some reason. Some Republicans, including the more religious folk, seem to have some fetish for Rand, seeming to, on their own, have half-baked interpretations of an already half-baked philosophy, also seeming not to take into account that Rand was an atheist and that objectivism is not all that compatible with Jesus Christ's teachings.
Most libertarians, with only a handful of exceptions, are generally opposed to expansionism and preemptive military aggression, with most being rather skeptical of globalism. This libertarian belief against the prior use of force also extends into foreign policy. This is sometimes referred to as a "non-interventionist" foreign policy. That does not automatically make them pacifists, necessarily. Some camps strongly promote the concept of self-defense, and usually accept national defense as one of the few legitimate functions of government, although they tend to agree that the size of the standing military needs to be drastically reduced.
Political Outlook [ edit ]
Libertarianism, as a term, has become a sort of buzz-word used to describe anyone who wants to lower taxes and dislikes government oversight, both on the right and left. Many right-wingers often refer to themselves as libertarians, specifically because they have some obsessive vendetta against the federal government, and, in some cases, the establishments of their own party. Even so, this is pretty much "faux-libertarianism", as they, being conservatives, are generally opposed on a political level to social liberty, which is the original foundation of the movement. As a result, many people confuse libertarians and these Republicans, many of them being paleoconservatives and members of the Tea Party. The difference between the two are simple: libertarians want a limited government, while conservative Republicans want the decentralization of executive power. That being said, these Republicans tend to be "anti-federalist", in favor of states rights. Libertarians, on the other hand, simply want smaller government in all respects, both on a federal level and at a state level. To them, letting the states dictate tax policy, choose to exercise large government oversight, dictating social liberty, and having central executive power on its own is the exact same thing as the federal government having that kind of power.
Some more conservative-leaning libertarians, also known as paleolibertarians, often express a mixture of those opinions. Despite (or maybe because of) their extreme reverence for the United States Constitution (particularly an originalist reading of the Bill of Rights), these paleolibertarians are rarely elected to office. Cynics have suggested that refusal to provide adequate pork for their district hurts their chances in congressional elections. Other cynics point out that if they don't win an election in the first place, how can their "porcine provision" skills be tested? Libertarianism seems to function as more of a platform as opposed to an actual cohesive political movement these days, particularly because there is no specific set belief system to unite all libertarians, even within the Libertarian Party. Often times libertarians have proven that they have better chance of being elected when they run as Republican, as were the cases with Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Barry Goldwater, Emperor Trajan, Mike Lee, and another guy who's name our editor has forgotten. In his defense, it looks he just had an Aleppo moment.
The narrow usage of "libertarian" as a label is also a cause, as some who take moderate libertarian positions are frequently called a "free-market liberal/Democrat" or a "pro-____ rights conservative/Republican" - or even derisive epithets like "libt kiddies." Often-times, Republicans and reactionary populists appropriate the term for their own usage. So many wingnuts like Alex Jones and Glenn Beck have literally turned many rational people off from the idea of libertarianism, leading many who are not as politically knowledgeable that they are all crazy wingnuts. While this can be the case many times, as some conservatives hate the Republican establishment so much that they want to rebrand themselves as something else, libertarianism has nothing to do with conservatism at all, and it has never been. It just so happens that right-wing fiscal policy is more in line with that of libertarianism. Other than that, libertarians are basically just your average Democrat, but less, as they would put it, "statist".
Libertarianism is such a broad, yet, at the same time, almost stupidly simple concept to understand. Like anarchism and authoritarianism, it only describes a general opinion on how the government should be run on an institutional level. It is very similar to Atheism in that way. Atheism is not a religion. Very similarly, libertarianism is not one set ideological alignment. When one thinks of an atheist, a certain image may come to mind. One such applicable one would be the "common neckbeard", clearly representing the loudest atheist community. A respected scientist like Richard Dawkins may also very well come to mind. That being said, Atheists come in many different forms, with drastically different social and political beliefs, such as these types of folks: Alt-Right Loony Tunes, right-wing shitposters, conspiracy theorists, edgy middle schoolers, antifeminists, science nerds, secular humanists, your amiable next-door neighbor, smug comedians, philosophers, intellectuals, progressivists, someone's drunk uncle, and radical progressive types. Atheism, to reiterate, is not a religious ideology like some would have you believe. The only thing that unites Atheists is a common lack of belief in a deity of any kind. There is nothing more to it.
Libertarians come in many shapes and sizes too, and from different ideological backgrounds. There are conservative libertarians, fiscal right-wingers, more conspiracists, classical liberals, leftists, angry middle-aged white men, college kids who just want to smoke weed, registered Republicans, registered Democrats, registered Libertarians, social democrats, Christians, Atheists, progressives, non-progressives, objectivists, utilitarians, and even Marxists. The one thing that unites libertarianism is the common belief in the illegitimacy of the state, but a grounded realization that government is still a necessity as it relates to upholding the social order, all of such being centered around the idea that each and every human being is equal and has the right to pursue a means to exercise personal freedom.
Libertar
Inspirations [ edit ]
“ ” Ayn Rand, Rand Paul and Paul Ryan walk into a bar. The bartender serves them tainted alcohol because there are no regulations. They die. —Miss O'Kistic[19]
Many libertarians found the political philosophy through one of a small number of influential fiction books. The works of novelist Ayn Rand (The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged) and Robert Heinlein (The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress) are often cited. For example, many libertarians in the United States might quote Rand's Atlas Shrugged when they speak of government:
“ ” The only proper functions of a government are: the police, to protect you from criminals; the army, to protect you from foreign invaders; and the courts, to protect your property and contracts from breach or fraud by others, to settle disputes by rational rules, according to objective law. —Galt Speech,[20] Atlas Shrugged
Not that confusing, right?
Other libertarians may point to such works of non-fiction as Libertarianism in One Lesson by David Bergland, which posit a clear set of axioms and then delineate how society might follow them and how it would be best for everyone.
Many are the ideological descendants of "classical liberals" (by definition, they could arguably be considered more liberal than the American left) though many "classical liberals" who do not identify as libertarians per se were decidedly more moderate than the current U.S. libertarian movement in that they were willing to accept more government regulations and taxes.[21] In light of this, modern libertarianism can be better described as a radical offshoot of classical liberalism. Classical liberals tend to be more intellectual than libertarians, and often align themselves more with the two major parties for practical reasons. They tend to be centre-left to centre-right, and instead of adhering to the "philosophies" of Ayn Rand, they are more attracted to Utilitarianism, particularly the teachings suggested by John Stuart Mill, a liberal, an abolitionist, a feminist, and atheist who supported gay rights...over a century before the Civil Rights movement even began. They believe that all men and women are essentially good, and that the collective and the individual are both equally important. Taxes are important, and the greater good trumps individual happiness, since happiness can be collective. For instance, a classical liberal would most likely dislike something like Obamacare due to its statist implications, but they would be gladly willing to sacrifice a portion of their wealth to ensure that those who cannot afford healthcare could live a happy and healthy life that they are entitled to. After all, are we not all entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
Internet libertarians have been compared to teenagers through the use of the argumentum ad cellarium fallacy. As an anonymous commenter on Charlie Stross's Bitcoin rant put it, their concerns precisely mirror those of privileged teenagers:[22]
And if you grow up in your parent's [sic] basement, then you are shaped by an environment where the fundamental constraints on what you want to do are shaped neither by scarcity nor malignance, but by genuine good intent. Your relatives probably don't want you to spend all day smoking pot and playing video games; in some cases they will over-estimate just how much of a bad thing that is. And even if they are right, it's not like anyone facing such hectoring is going to admit it. Pretty much every libertarian position can be understood in that frame of restrictive but benevolent authority being the root of all 'real' problems. It's a rare parent who literally tortures their kids, so torture is, at best, not a 'real' issue, not a priority. But many make them do stuff for their health, so mandatory health insurance is a big deal. Pretty much no parents kill their child with drones, many read their diaries. And so on. So to libertarians, Bitcoin is like wages from a fast food job as opposed to an allowance; lets you buy what you want without someone else having a veto. Only money that doesn't judge you can be considered entirely yours...
Tendency towards bigotry [ edit ]
As described below in the section "Alleged racism", libertarianism, in practice, does not denote an anti-government philosophy as much as a co-optation of left-wing anti-authoritarianism as a means of justifying (or simply denying) the social and economic hierarchies which under capitalism under the guise of freedom.
Murray Rotbhard famously bragged that the movement stole the word "libertarian" from anarcho-socialists, something left-libertarians like Noam Chomsky have confirmed.
This is evidenced by the fact some of the most rabid sexists, racists and other bigots claim to be libertarians. This can range from anti-feminism and sexism under the guise of economic analysis (women choose lower-paying jobs!), justifying racist and ableist discrimination or, most commonly, classism and poor-shaming.
Arguments against strict libertarianism [ edit ]
While a preference for maximum personal freedom is pretty much universal throughout most of the political spectrum (though less so on the fringes), libertarianism presents several difficulties:
Philosophical problems [ edit ]
Libertarianism is a circular argument. Libertarians speak of "property" and "contract," as if these legal ideas somehow had meaning in the absence of law. Law is what matures mere possession or occupancy into "property". It's what allows your right to your dwelling to persist even when you leave it. These rights must be recognized by the consensus of local society to exist. The process that creates that consensus is a government, whether it's arrived at formally with pomp and circumstance by legislators and kings, or the result of an ad hoc discussion around the campfire. That consensus may be expressed more or less formally, but it necessarily includes definitions and limits.
Simply put, in the real world, they're actually property privileges, not property rights.
The aforementioned "Non-Aggression Principle" isn't quite as clear as many libertarians make it sound. Libertarians support force to hold up a system of property, a system which required force to be created (ask any indigenous person in a European-colonized country) and requires force to be maintained. Take fraud, for example. If a man is found to have lied to his health insurance company about a pre-existing condition, the police (in libertarian parlance, "Men with Guns") will use force against him. Libertarians call this "retaliatory force" and frame the acts by the sick man as initiating force which makes for a nice game of mental gymnastics.[23] Note that you may not use the same rationalizations to frame racism, or sexism, or union-smashing as force, (and their solutions as retaliatory force) since those are things libertarians are okay with.
Hidden and uncountable costs [ edit ]
Strict interpretations of freedom to associate offer little incentive to remedy problems created by social stratification; in particular, the principle of "personal ownership" often leads to a blame-the-victim mentality (e.g. Rand's use of the term "parasite" to describe those dependent on public services).
In a strict libertarian world with no welfare programs, people with disabilities that rendered them unable to work or unemployable who did not have families or a benefactor willing to support them financially would essentially be doomed to starve to death, become a prostitute, or turn to theft and drug dealing for survival. As automation, globalization and artificial intelligence continue to make more people unemployable and labor less valuable, entire swaths of the population will essentially have to choose between death and debt slavery. Unemployed parents would not be able to keep their children and would have to allow wealthy people to e̶n̶s̶l̶a̶v̶e̶ adopt them if they couldn't make a livable wage.
No matter how many whine about it, governmental regulation often corrects problems that an unregulated free market could not. One example is health care regulations, such as enforcing credentialing for physicians to ensure they're not some self-certified nut in a lab coat; making sure pharmaceuticals have the ingredients they say they do and are relatively safe, AND that they work as intended; and ERs being required to treat people regardless of their ability to pay. Another is related to public health: how would consumers be able to determine which food vendors would be safe (and therefore, want to exchange capital with) in a festival experiencing bacterial contamination?[24] And why should businesses take on the risk of preventing epidemics?[25] Many libertarians don't have a coherent answer for what to do to correct these problems in a free market; they simply insist that "competition" will solve the problems, or at least make them inconsequential.
Like many other political positions, libertarianism is also subject to fundamentalist thinking. In libertarianism this can lead to both figurative and literal arms races, as well as an attraction to fringe groups such as the tax protester movement, and calling for the dismantling of central banks and a resumption of the gold standard.
International organisations enforcing universal standards on machinery and telecommunication (such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) would not exist anymore. This means that all corporations of these sectors have to come together to form any sort of coherent universal standard and even then you would be lucky if all corporations abide and agreed by it. That basically means that you can't phone some of your friends because the telephone they own is different from the one you are using and that you have to entirely re-learn your job because the machine you are using has notably different architecture from the one you have learned to work with. Such a move would make the life of literally everyone even more complicated and annoying, force many people in these sectors to become jobless and would prevent the formation of many corporate start-ups. Not to mention that the very internet you are viewing this article on probably wouldn't exist, although things such as a Small Office Home Network or a corporate network probably would.
What difference would it make? [ edit ]
Libertarian business structures greatly resemble government hierarchies, even military hierarchies in the case of Taylorism. It seems contradictory to opine that citizens do not need rulers while maintaining that workers need managers; libertarians claim this is fine because joining a business is voluntary, although some critics of libertarianism would point out that changing jobs is not always possible, and that this argument would only be applicable if there actually were an abundance of businesses without such hierarchies who are hiring,[30] and that resigning is not an option because (especially when there is no welfare state) it may result in them being unable to afford food, water, housing, etc. In other words, this type of "freedom" means "the freedom to choose one's own masters or to starve under a bridge."
What, exactly, is the goal? The selling point of libertarianism is its offer of expanded individual liberties to do as you please. The offer is illusory if it in fact means that your freedom of action is hindered at every turn by bosses, owners, and other toll collectors. They all can demand money, or that you contract away your libertarian freedoms, for the privilege of stepping on their lawns. These new gatekeepers of "liberty" can still do stuff like fire you for testing positive for now-legal drugs. If maximizing individual freedom is what you're after, or even securing maximal protection for enumerated freedoms, you should realize that your boss is a bigger threat to your freedom of speech, or freedom to practice your religious faith, than the local police or your local government, don't you? In a democratic republic, the result of property-rights libertarianism would be to diminish the sorts of social control that at times have to answer to voters, and replace them with social control with no such accountability.
Libertarians like to ignore certain periods of history such as the Gilded Age, where libertarian ideas were widespread and in effect ("No, it was crony capitalism!") or recast them as a golden age. This can lead to lots of lulz, like claiming Abraham Lincoln was the spawn of Satan.
You are reading this page using something originally created by the big, bad gummint. And not only was ARPANET (the predecessor for the Internet) developed by and for the US military, but the first non-DOD Internet services were in two colleges, including the public UCLA. The HTTP protocol that makes the Web work? Yeah, that was developed by workers at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research), which is almost entirely funded by various governments. HTML, the language that most websites are scripted in (including this one) was also developed by CERN researchers. And that doesn't even get into the various other government-funded technologies that form the foundation of the Information Age, from a nationwide network linking dozens of mainframe computers in a real-time, redundant system (the USAF Semi-Automatic Ground Environment), to NASA's development of the geosynchronous communications satellite, and even the plastic parts of their computers, made with molds cut using Computer Numerical Control machines directly descended from those developed by the Air Force funding in the 1950s.
And finally, libertarians' love for the market (and hate for anything else) almost guarantees that libertarian parties will continue to be an afterthought.[31] Many (e.g. Dilorenzo[32]) believe that since the state can do no good, there is no reason to enter politics (its natural extension) because that would mean trying to be elected into a "coercive", anti-consensual body.[33] As such, anti-government ethos only finds mainstream favor with right-wing parties that support less state intervention in the economy; of course, this leads to tension between libertarians and more moralistic conservatives.
Systems that attempt to boil themselves down to "a few simple rules" are seldom actually simple; for example, ancient Judaism's Deuteronomic reforms started out as just about half of the modern book of Deuteronomy, but eventually grew to encompass the whole Torah, large swaths of the rest of the Jewish Bible,[34] and ultimately to the vast body of commentary known as the Talmud. Esperanto, though defined in only sixteen grammatical rules, is actually quite a complex language, since its rules are defined in direct relation to established rules in Indo-European linguistics. Even some sports — particularly golf — have a strong element of common law in their rule systems.
There is essentially no guarantee that a society built on a libertarian legal structure would remain that way without redeveloping some sort of common law structure, or even a statutory structure that codifies all precedents. Given that most societies governed by rule of law already have this, it's hard to see what would be accomplished other than a massive reinvention of the wheel.[35]
The United States, for instance, is technically almost a truly libertarian country, even today, since the only laws it has are to "adjudicate between free men." Starting with a base, at least at the federal level (after the collapse of the Articles of Confederation) of a fairly simple Constitution, and some Roman and English common law, the country's government has evolved as a balance between virtually total liberty, and adjudicating the inevitable conflicts that arise between free men (or, in the case of drug laws, sodomy laws, etc., between the government and one somewhat unfree man). This adjudication has taken the form both of legislation to deal with issues that arose, and judicial analysis of the application of such legislation. Of course, 240 years offers a lot of opportunity for "free men" to need adjudication, so now, to self-styled "libertarians," the results look needlessly complicated. Such is life in the real world.
Typically libertarians argue that people should be free to do whatever they like as long as it doesn't hurt others. While this idea may seem very simple at first glance, the problem is that what "hurts" people and what doesn't is very nuanced. For instance, it is common for libertarians to oppose laws which reduce air pollution even though the latter can have a severe impact on the health of others, even if it is assumed that global warming is a gummint conspiracy to justify raising our taxes; more so than many direct acts of violence. It is also common for them to oppose laws mandating car drivers to wear seatbelts, even though seeing a person die as the result of not wearing one can have a major psychological effect on onlookers. Similarly, they may oppose anti-smoking campaigns as an unwarranted intrusion on personal liberty, while ignoring the financial burden imposed by smoking-related illnesses on both private insurance and taxpayer-funded health care. [36]
Branches and disputes within libertarianism [ edit ]
Pretty much.
While libertarians all generally agree on the premise of the Non-Aggression Axiom, there are internal rifts and disagreement over what extent the Non-Aggression Axiom applies to. On the one hand, there are the Libertarian Party types (colloquially called "minarchists") who take a position of advocating minimal government, and on the other there are the market anarchists who believe that all the services the government provides are unjust monopolies, which the free market can handle better if let go of by the state. Market anarchists can be split into two groups, "anarcho-mutualists" who believe in a free market but not in capitalism or class, and anarcho-capitalists who believe in completely unregulated capitalism.
There is usually little room in between these two, but even then, there are still different branches within these umbrella terms. On the Minarchist side of the libertarian ideology, there are paleolibertarians, who advocate a strong return to the Constitution and are somewhat conservative in their arguments to preserve moral law, much like the Old Right paleoconservatives. Ron Paul, who is often viewed as a libertarian, would more fit the paleoconservative/libertarian framework. Additionally, there exist the geo-libertarians (who advocate simply a tax on all land),[37] neo-libertarians (often regarded not in any sense as libertarians, as their political views conflict with the very principles of the Non-Aggression Axiom - they defend a mixture of traditional libertarian ideas with views more commonly grounded in neoconservatism, such as American exceptionalism and military interventionism and action to promote America's superiority in the international community), and other branches with their own nuances. On the anarchist side of the spectrum, things tend to be more homogeneous, with the major disagreements usually only amounting to how to achieve a libertarian society and solutions to ethical dilemmas.
This ideological division occurs not only externally in political theory, but philosophically as well. On the one side, there are the deontological natural rights theorists (Murray Rothbard being the most prominent advocate), and on the other are the utilitarian libertarians (David D. Friedman is often the most associated with this view). A few minority nihilists and radical subjectivists exist within these circles, but these views are often seen to be in conflict with the general premises laid out by the Non-Aggression Axiom.
The word "libertarianism" was used before the current usage came about to refer to anarchists, who are against hierarchies brought about by stratified classes and a state controlled by the wealthy elites, and thus oppose capitalism. Many call themselves 'libertarian socialists' a philosophy championed by Noam Chomsky. The use of "libertarianism" to describe anarchy dates back to the late 1850s, with Le Libertaire, Journal du Mouvement Social being the name of a journal published by anarchist Joseph Dejacque. The term 'libertarian communism' originated in the 1880s, when the French anarchist congress adopted it. As late as 1954, a largely anarcho-syndicalist movement named The Libertarian League was set up in the US.
The current Libertarian Party in the US only came into being in early 1970s, well over 100 years after anarchists had begun using the term to describe themselves. In the US, to quote Murray Bookchin:
“ ” [The] term 'libertarian' itself, to be sure, raises a problem, notably, the specious identification of an anti-authoritarian ideology with a straggling movement for 'pure capitalism' and 'th] century. And it should be recovered by those anti-authoritarians... who try to speak for dominated people as a whole, not for personal [The] term 'libertarian' itself, to be sure, raises a problem, notably, the specious identification of an anti-authoritarian ideology with a straggling movement for 'pure capitalism' and ' free trade .' This movement never created the word: it appropriated it from the anarchist movement of the [19] century. And it should be recovered by those anti-authoritarians... who try to speak for dominated people as a whole, not for personal egotists who identify freedom with entrepreneurship and profit." Many left-libertarians of this school favor equality as much as liberty and argue for fraternal health societies, civil disobedience through the black market, non-capitalist free trade and competitive worker co-ops.
As late as the 1990s, the Libertarian Labor Review newspaper promoted anarcho-syndicalism while still using the libertarian label. Samuel Edward Konkin III labeled his underground-economy based "agorism" as left-libertarianism, while claiming influence from right-libertarians like Rothbard. The term may also accurately describe Karl Hess, the former Goldwater Republican and Cold Warrior who aligned himself with Murray Rothbard for a few years, then swung to the hard left during the late 1960s and 1970s and joined the New Left.[38]
There are a number of areas where the more "rational" libertarians and liberals have overlapping concerns, notably, opposition to corporate welfare and the military-industrial complex, and valuing personal liberty and freedom of speech.
A brief attempt at (right-)libertarian taxonomy in the US [ edit ]
There is a good deal of overlap between these groups, but the hardliners tend to lavish hate on each other:
See the main article on this topic: Anarcho-capitalism
Deontological anarchists that adhere to the teachings of Murray Rothbard. Most anarcho-capitalists adhere to the Austrian School, though David D. Friedman opts for the utilitarian Chicago School, despite not being an anarcho-capitalist himself. A few others follow the pure pacifism of Robert LeFevre. Modern examples include Adam Kokesh, who claims the only real anarchists are anarcho-capitalists, and Walter Block of the LvMI.
Samuel Edward Konkin III's philosophy of agorism was described by Konkin himself as a particularly concentrated strain of Rothbardianism, but Konkin and adherents consider(ed) themselves part of the libertarian left. This may be fair, since Konkin coinages like Kochtopus have entered the general leftist lexicon. The main problem with anarcho-capitalism is that it advocates for getting rid of the government entirely, which could, hypothetically, lead to corporations and trusts becoming so large that they would ultimately become stand-ins for the state, therefore bringing everything back to square one. While their support of the free market is compatible with many other libertarian circles, this particular possibility puts anarcho-capitalism at odds with most other groups from an ideological perspective, as libertarianism is, at its core, anti-state. Additionally, actual libertarians believe in some degree of government, whereas ancaps do not believe in government at all.
See the main article on this topic: Very Serious People
Also known as Novacrats, these folks are the more utilitarian of the bunch and usually associated more with the Chicago school than the Austrian school. The term "Beltway" is used as a pejorative by the hardline anarchists, minarchists, and deontological types to paint them as sell-outs because they've gotten some traction in DC. Prominent Beltway types include Thomas Sowell, Nick Gillespie and the late Milton Friedman.
Anti-feminists and MRA's [ edit ]
There exists a very disproportionate amount of libertarians in anti-feminist communities and vice versa. While there are certainly many libertarian feminists (like Cathy Reisenwitz and Sharon Presley), they're outnumbered many, many times to one by their opponents.
One of the possible reasons for this is the libertarian belief that the gender pay gap is a myth and that gender discrimination is impossible because capitalism is perfect. Another would be the kind of faux anti-authoritarianism many libertarians espouse, namely that using state intervention to lessen the impact of gendered hierarchies that arise under capitalism (affirmative action, fighting the pink tax, woman-specific welfare measures, etc.) is the devil but using military force to kill anti-capitalists or to steal indigenous land is totally justified. Moreover, libertarianism's recruiting base (young privileged white dudes on the internet) is typically chalk full of limerent, sexually frustrated losers that made up most of Gamergate's membership.
Paul Elam and Christopher Cantwell are stereotypical examples of this in action. Their anti-feminist views are justified using libertarian arguments. The fact libertarianism seems to constantly espouse every single anti-feminist issue under the sun (mansplaining the pink tax, denying the gender pay gap, spouting reactionary talking points about rape culture, etc.) indicates the cross-poolination is pretty thorough.
Crank magnets [ edit ]
See the main article on this topic: Crank magnetism
Usually conspiracy nuts, survivalists, sovereign citizen types, or gold bugs who think the gummint is out to get them. There are white supremacists who want to bring back "states' rights" to resurrect segregation, and dominionists who want to resurrect official state religions. Also includes fans of the seasteading, micronation, and vonu movements, "life extension," Galambosianism, Liberty Dollars, and pretty much anything from the Loompanics book catalog. May suffer from an excess of colloidal silver in the bloodstream. Alex Jones is the epitome of the crank magnet libertarian.
Single-issue wonks [ edit ]
There are those who take up the mantle of libertarianism because it aligns with their opposition to some federal law they don't like. On the more benign end, this includes activists for sex workers and cannabis legalization, who typically overlap with the below-mentioned civil libertarians, while on the crankier end, one may find polygamists, woo-meisters, pedophiles, and peddlers of some form of illegal quackery, who can more often be found with the crank magnets. Another example of this would be college kids who claim to be libertarian just because they want weed to be legal.
Paleolibertarians [ edit ]
See the main article on this topic: Paleolibertarianism
A term coined by Lew Rockwell. Their policies are mostly the same as the "Taft Republicans" of the Old Right. They are advocates of the Austrian school, originalism, states' rights, and strict Constitutionalism, and are generally socially conservative despite opposing the drug war and "bedroom laws." Ron Paul falls into this camp. Many conspiracy nuts are also paleolibertarians, such as the almighty Alex Jones mentioned above, Texe Marrs, and Mark Dice.
Minarchists [ edit ]
Largely the venerable predecessors of the modern libertarian movement, who were an influence on Rothbard but rejected anarchism, influenced Rand but rejected orthodox Objectivism, etc. Minarchists today are not all necessarily influenced by Rand, but they tend to believe in the concept of a "Night-watchman State", which is defined as a radically minimalistic government that only exists to provide three basic public services: law enforcement, a legal system, and a small standing army to exist for defense purposes only. While many of today's minarchists tend to favor capitalism, the system is also applicable to socialist thought. Karl Marx could also accurately be described as a minarchist, as he believed that the government should only exist for minimal protection and the distribution of the wealth.
Randroids [ edit ]
See the main article on this topic: Ayn Rand
Usually generic deontological minarchist libertarians, the only difference being that they identify themselves with the tenets of Objectivism. Rand herself hated the Libertarian Party and denounced them as poseurs.[39] Alan Greenspan is probably the most famous Randroid, and we all know what happened there. Paul Ryan is also technically a Randroid, but he is extremely inconsistent. Despite his claims to be influenced by Rand, she would have probably laughed at him. He is literally an embodiment of Republican statism.
Generally Silicon Valley inhabitants who attempt to apply hacker culture to politics. Lots of overlap with techno-utopian movements like transhumanism and Singularitarianism. Also overlaps with the seasteading, life extension, and digital-currency crank magnets. See also Eric S. Raymond, Bitcoin, and Anonymous. Ironically, technological leaps have made surveillance of citizens easier than ever before in human history.
Vulgar libertarians [ edit ]
See the main article on this topic: Vulgar libertarianism
Their true ideological motivations are unknown, but they use the language of the "free market" to shill for corporations that don't want to deal with regulations or taxes. They can usually be found at some DC think tank cranking out bogus research while being bankrolled by Koch Industries or Exxon. Steve Milloy is a prime example.
South Park Republicans [ edit ]
See the main article on this topic: South Park Republicans
People who say they are libertarians, but dutifully pull the lever for most anyone with an "R" after their name (not, however, for Ron Paul) every election. In between elections they shill for military interventionism, and attack liberals — but never conservatives — for being enemies of liberty. And a lot of Al Gore bashing. Their idea of a "libertarian Republican" is Rudy Giuliani. Their only real claim to being libertarians is their irreverent attitude, but this really just boils down to being a jerk for the sake of it. Glenn Reynolds and Matt Drudge have made a lucrative career pushing their buttons.
Civil libertarians [ edit ]
Those whose main attraction to libertarianism is civil liberties of the ACLU sort, anti-war issues, gay rights, marijuana, privacy, police abuses, women's lib, conscription, and so forth. They may view liberals as unreliable on these issues, or they may hold conservative economic views, and prefer to align with libertarians. The Cato Institute used to emphasize outreach to them in its early years via Inquiry magazine and The Libertarian Review. Today, Radley Balko, Conor Friedersdorf, and Carol Moore might be prominent examples, as was (until his recent death) American Indian Movement activist Russell Means. In Europe, these types are typically associated with pirate politics, though a few mainstream libertarians like Johan Norberg could be included. Along with classical liberals, they are arguably the most reasonable out of the bunch. Civil libertarians do not always have to be classical liberals or minarchists, as social democrats like Bernie Sanders (who is not a socialist) can be described as such.
Partyarchs [ edit ]
Those for whom the Libertarian Party and the libertarian movement are one and the same thing. Ideologically suspect to the more hard-core, they differ from Beltway libertarians primarily in that they prefer to throw all their effort into building the Libertarian Party instead of trying to get cred inside the Beltway. They typically want to trim and gut the party platform to attract more people, and/or disseminate an oversimplified version of the libertarian message in the name of "effective communication." Fond of using the World's Smallest Political Quiz and other materials from the Advocates for Self-Government. See Michael Cloud, Carla Howell, former Alaska state representative Dick Randolph, 1980 LP presidential nominee Ed Clark, and 2013 Virginia gubernatorial candidate Robert Sarvis.
Paulbots [ edit ]
See the main article on this topic: Ron Paul
Usually refers to fans of Ron Paul, who express their rabid support for him through the Internet. More recently, it has come to refer to irritating "Internet libertarians" in general who find a home for themselves on certain Internet sites, especially YouTube, and proceed to "upvote" everything that agrees with their worldview while "downvoting" anyone who disagrees with it en masse. Any site with an upvote/downvote system (i.e. Urban Dictionary, ABC News… hell, it's easier to list sites they haven't taken over at this point) is up for grabs for these people, and there tends to be heavy overlap with the crank magnets, Austrian schoolers, and, oddly, the online MRA movement. When not shilling for Ron Paul, being conspiracy nuts, or just being unbelievably self-righteous in general their favorite pastimes usually include rambling about Barack Obama, excessive quote mining of Paul Krugman (and it's always Krugman), and using snarl words such as "fascist," "sheeple," "statist," etc.
Fake libertarians [ edit ]
Refers to conservatives, neocons, Christian rightists, etc., who have no clue what libertarianism is, but simply identify as "libertarian" because it "sounds more hip," or to avoid association with the Republican Party. Many of these fake libertarians think that anti-federalism and libertarianism are the same thing (e.g. a Christian fundamentalist "libertarian" who complains about the Nanny state and cries for smaller federal government — so that Alabama can criminalize homosexuality, pornography, and abortion on the state level). Another example would be right-wing talk radio host Neal Boortz who identifies as a libertarian, but supported the federal government spying on anti-Iraq war protesters.
Alleged racism [ edit ]
Some self-proclaimed libertarians seem to espouse some racist views, and that often gives them a bad reputation. [40] Murray Rothbard,[41] although of Jewish origin himself, has been suggested to have possibly sympathized with white nationalists, paleoconservatives, and anti-state right-wing populists, many of whom claimed to be "libertarian". However, paleoconservatism is not a libertarian philosophy at all, and Rothbard was not a libertarian, but an anarcho-capitalist who really did nothing to advance the libertarian movement that was influenced by folks like Friedman.[42].
Libertaryanism [ edit ]
By pure definition, libertarianism is the least compatible political ideology in the history of free society with fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism, given that totalitarians teach that individuals only have worth if they serve the State, while libertarianism is opposed to the state. However, there have been those who seem to espouse both. Certain segments of the alt-right identify as libertarian yet also express sympathy for Nazism or neo-Nazism; the website "The Right Stuff" (which prominently features pictures of Hitler and broadcasts a radio show called The Daily Shoah, whose guests have included Christopher Cantwell) is one notable example. Another would be the Holocaust Denier and goat blood drinking pagan extraordinaire Augustus Sol Invictus, who actually ran on a libertarian ticket in Florida for the Senate. That being said, they are incredibly inconsistent in their beliefs
Quite a few libertarians hold to a paranoid or conspiracist worldview, which in some cases may include Holocaust denial. This, as well as the relationship between libertarianism and the gun culture, may partly explain the appeal of Nazi or Nazi-like ideas to some self-proclaimed libertarians.
Much like Marxism (which holds that a "dictatorship of the proletariat" is a necessary transitional stage between the capitalist status quo and true, stateless communism), it is also possible that some people might see libertarianism as the desired end state but believe that fascism (and the genocide of "undesirables") is necessary as a transitional stage. That being said, most libertarians simply believe in an immediate substitution of the state, and it is extremely easy to identify the wingnut factions of the movement. In other words, it is no different than every other political ideology. Situation normal.
Milton Friedman, prominent economist and Nobel laureate. Although often regarded as a libertarian, he departed from the laissez-faire principles in his support of the Chicago School's economic ideology of Monetarism, instead of the Austrian school. Controversially advised the Pinochet regime in Chile to follow a course suggested by his economic theories, his reasoning being that a healthy and free market would bring a healthy and free political system.
Ron Paul, candidate in the Republican Party presidential primaries in 2008 and 2012, managed in that capacity to be included for the first time in televised debates (outside of C-SPAN). He was able to get much more TV airtime than any previous libertarian, yet many differ from his views on immigration and religious faith, and think that his federalism (not to mention his refusal to address allegations of racist connections) is a cop out.
John Stossel, of ABC and Fox News fame, produced hour-long special programs that contrasted the libertarian approach to issues against a statist approach. One of them, "Sick in America," disastrously attempted to rebut Michael Moore's Sicko film, and can still be seen on YouTube.
John Locke, hero in name only. He was not a libertarian by any of today's standards, but his work is often cited by modern libertarians. His work had a profound effect on Thomas Jefferson. Perhaps his most influential work was his theories of value and property.
Adam Smith, another hero in name only. He opposed mercantilism and his work promoted relatively free markets, which is why libertarians try to claim him as one of their own, but his views were far more moderate than they are often made out to have been. His coining of the term the "invisible hand" is also often invoked by libertarians, rarely in a way Smith probably would have approved of.
Neil Boortz, talk radio host who calls himself a libertarian. No one else does.
Mikhail Bakunin, an influential libertarian socialist and strong rival of Marx, though it is suspected that this rivalry could be more personal than ideological.
Robert Heinlein, who postulated libertarian societies in many of his science fiction novels.
Stan Jones, who managed to turn his own skin blue through the use of colloidal silver.[43]
Penn and Teller, stage magicians and skeptics who for eight seasons in the noughties hosted Bullshit, about evenly split between attacking woo of one kind or another and advancing libertarian causes. The gift shop at the Rio in Las Vegas, where their long-running nightly act is performed, sells wallet-size copies of the Bill of Rights engraved on stainless steel, which they state are intended to alternately annoy or educate the security personnel at McCarran Airport by deliberately setting off metal detectors.
Associated organizations [ edit ]
The following institutions and groups are closely or loosely associated with modern libertarianism:
Quotes on libertarianism [ edit ]
Supporting [ edit ]
If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind? - Frederic Bastiat[44]
Legalize Freedom: Vote Libertarian! - Slogan of the US Libertarian Party [45]
This country is a one-party country. Half of it is called Republican and half is called Democrat. It doesn't make any difference. All the really good ideas belong to the Libertarians. - Hugh Downs, on 20/20 in 1997
I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub. - Grover Norquist[46]
You speak as if you were fighting for some sort of principle, Mr. Rearden, but what you're actually fighting for is only your property, isn't it?" — "Yes, of course. I am fighting for my property. Do you know the kind of principle that represents? - Ayn Rand[47]
However, it is important to remember that the true purpose of regulation is to limit competition, not protect the public. - "Health freedom" supporter DayOwl[48]
Opposing [ edit ]
A Libertarian is just a Republican who takes drugs. - Anarchist essayist Bob Black[49]
He always pictured himself a libertarian, which to my way of thinking means "I want the liberty to grow rich and you can have the liberty to starve." It's easy to believe that no one should depend on society for help when you yourself happen not to need such help. - Isaac Asimov on Robert A. Heinlein and libertarian ethics[50]
That's libertarians for you — anarchists who want police protection from their slaves. - Kim Stanley Robinson
I’d rather vote for Bob Hope, the Marx Brothers, or Jerry Lewis. I don’t think they’re as funny as Professor Hospers and the Libertarian Party. - Ayn Rand[39]
A simple-minded right-wing ideology ideally suited to those unable or unwilling to see past their own sociopathic self-regard. - Iain Banks
I tend to take the stance that Libertarianism is like Leninism: a fascinating, internally consistent political theory with some good underlying points that, regrettably, makes prescriptions about how to run human society that can only work if we replace real messy human beings with frictionless spherical humanoids of uniform density (because it relies on simplifying assumptions about human behaviour which are unfortunately wrong). - Charles Stross[51]
It cannot be said too often – at any rate, it is not being said nearly often enough – that collectivism is not inherently democratic, but, on the contrary, gives to a tyrannical minority such powers as the Spanish Inquisitors never dreamed of [... But] a return to ‘free’ competition means for the great mass of people a tyranny probably worse, because more irresponsible, than that of the State. The trouble with competitions is that somebody wins them. Professor Hayek denies that free capitalism necessarily leads to monopoly, but in practice that is where it has led, and since the vast majority of people would far rather have State regimentation than slumps and unemployment, the drift towards collectivism is bound to continue if popular opinion has any say in the matter. - George Orwell[52]
Not to be confused with [ edit ]
Librarianism, also a philosophy, but more about cataloging books and helping people find them, no matter what the book is about. Librarians also hate totalitarian regimes, as they tend to be real jerks when it comes to stocking unpopular or controversial books. Just don't talk in their libraries.

This was the question asked by his grandson of a grandfather who had recently lost his wife of 60 years. How can one answer a question like that? All he could say was that we are here to help one another. Which, on further thought, led him to believe that this was the only answer. And that the question ultimately was “how can we get more people to believe this?” What would you tell your grandchild in answer to that question? One friend thought it both true and beautiful. And wise, and worth remembering and repeating. Yes, another friend responded. “We are here to help one another – that pretty much captures the essence of all true religion and philosophy”.

After my Santa shafted me I was a little sad, it's not the first time it's happened, but I love sci-fi as a whole and was really looking forward to seeing what I'd received.
In bounds my Rematch Santa or rather knight and blows me away. Star Wars is my favourite saga and my bf and I actually got together because of our love it. So it was totally amazing that my Rematcher got me a star wars doormat. We've just moved and this one of the last things we needed to get. Not wanting to stop there, I also received a Star Trek T-shirt favourite tv series of all time. A Yoda Funko Pop, a C3PO head and a set of Top Trumps card - Star Wars Spaceships.
I'm glad I got shafted because it meant I got a awesome Rematch Santa. | positive |

Rosie was born on April 2, 1942 in National City, CA to Charles and Lillian Wade. She had 4 older brothers, one older sister and a younger sister. Rosie had polio as a child and because of this and her father traveling for his job, she never went to the same school two years in a row. She graduated from Buckeye H.S. in Arizona in 1960 and went on to receive a degree in Missions from Baptist Bible College in Springfield, MO in 1964. Rosie met the love of her life, Stanley Hill in July 1966 and married him in September 1966. Anyone who knew Rosie knew that she had such a servants heart. She always put others above herself and never complained. Rosie was very active in the bus ministry in every church she attended. Even into her 70’s she still was involved in the bus ministry at her church. When her church in California started a Christian school it was her desire that her children receive a Christian education. For the next 14 years she did any and every job they asked her to do so that her children could attend Christian schools. In the fall of 1990, Rosie had to end her career at the Christian school to take care of her mother full time. During this time, she opened Grandma Rosie’s home school and prepared several children for kindergarten. Her first “graduate’ was a very special young man who became her bonus grandson, Shayne Walkup. After her mother passed away in 1996, she worked briefly at the Andersons in Lima as a greeter. But she missed teaching and loving on the children so she returned home to care for her own grandchildren and several others. Everyone loved Grandma Rosie. After her last local granddaughter went off to kindergarten she retired. In her later years, she joined Open Door Baptist Church and was an active member until April 2022 when she fell and broke her leg. Rosie began to have one complication after another and pain became unbearable for her in her final days. Despite this, Rosie continued to tell everyone who would cross her path, “God is good all the time.” Even though dementia took so much of Rosie away in the last 5 years of her life, she remained sweet and faithful to her Lord. There is absolutely no doubt that the first thing she heard upon her entrance into heaven was “Well done thou good and faithful servant.” That’s who Rosie was. Rosie was preceded in death by her father, Charles Wade, Sr. and her mother, Lillian Garrison Wade Justice; her brothers, Charles, Jr., Harvey, Bud and sister, Kay Smith; a daughter-in-law, Chris Perry-Hill and a son-in-law, Howard Sherer; and an angel baby who she never had the chance to hold on this earth, but will be with that baby for eternity. Rosie leaves some pretty big shoes to fill for her children; Gary Hill, Wendell (Ann) Hill, Tom (Kyra) Hill and Joy Sherer. She leaves a strong legacy for her grandchildren: Alex, Zach, Aaron, Andrew, Amanda, Austin, Emily, Jordan, Justin, Lilly, Lauren Hill and Garrison and Laci Sherer. She is also survived by her brother Jerry Wade of Texas and a sister Courtney DeYoung of North Carolina. Her funeral service will begin at 2:00 p.m., on Tuesday, July 12, 2022 at the Shawnee Chapel of Chiles-Laman Funeral & Cremation Service, with Pastor William Turner officiating. Burial will be in Memorial Park following the services. Visitation will be for two hours prior to her funeral. Memorial contributions may be made to Open Door Baptist Church.

There are lots of reasons to think President-elect Donald Trump’s tax plan, emerging as the centerpiece of his economic agenda (as it becomes clearer he won’t build a wall on the Mexican border), is a bad idea.
For starters, the $6.2 billion proposal gives 47% of its personal-tax cuts to the top 1% of earners, (according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center) while raising taxes on about 9 million working-class folks, mostly single moms. Great for the Hamptons’ housing and art prices, not so good for people who make Chevys in Ohio, or their customers.
Then, there’s the projection that the plan will boost the national debt by $5 trillion in the first 10 years. Not to mention the way President George W. Bush’s tax cuts slashed deficits and staved off 2008’s disaster, making one leery of Republicans bearing fiscal magic.
But the reason that sticks is bad timing. Say what you want about Bush’s tax cut: It stimulated an economy that was losing jobs and heading into recession. That’s the exact opposite of now.
Look at the data. The economy grew 3.2% in the third quarter, with the fourth quarter standing a good chance to deliver nearly the same. There is nearly full employment, led by the 216,000 jobs gained in November reported Wednesday by payroll processor ADP. On Friday, the unemployment rate for November fell to just 4.6%, the lowest level in nine years. Workers’ earnings are up at a 2.5% annual rate.
Little wonder that consumer confidence is at Reagan-era levels, with inflation nearing the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, both good signs for next year.
So why cut taxes now?
The question means more because it was posed by Dean Maki, chief economist at Point72 Asset Management, a two-time Republican campaign donor whose analysis has been politically inconvenient at times.
Now Maki poses the simple question: Why throw stimulus at a near-full employment economy, especially when structural fiscal challenges have to be addressed during the years when Trump will be our leader? And when inflation and interest rates are already rising?
“All of this [stimulus] makes sense when inflation is unusually low,” he said. “This will become more of an issue down the road.”
A tax cut might have made sense in 2011 or even 2013, when Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was hinting to Congress that a little fiscal stimulus might let the Fed raise interest rates above zero. Unemployment was above 8% until September 2012, and the 10%-plus drop in median incomes the recession caused didn’t meaningfully reverse itself until 2015.
Instead, Congress passed the Budget Control Act of 2011, cutting spending and helping tank the S&P 500 stock index for months.
The Bush tax cuts didn’t exactly work as advertised. The economy didn’t add private-sector jobs in either of Bush’s two terms — that’s never happened before. Wages and productivity growth stagnated as the effects of the late-1990s Internet boom wore off, and economic growth never approached 1990s levels.
“We didn’t see the growth we expected. It was pretty anemic and ended in a nice crash,” Tax Policy Center economist Roberton Williams said.
The Trump tax cuts won’t drive growth, but will make deficits surge, the Tax Policy Center says. In exchange for a $5 trillion-plus addition to the national debt by 2025, we’ll get about half a point of extra gross domestic product growth each year (which Wall Street economists say will be offset by Trump’s trade policies).
And immediate expensing of investment will, if the history of the Reagan tax cut repeats itself, drive unsustainable investment in commercial real estate and elsewhere.
Having run off the cliff of the early-’90s commercial-realty bust as if he were Wile E. Coyote, Trump might be expected to know about incentives distorted by tax policy.
Nah.
All this would matter little if Trump were inheriting the economy he thinks he is — but he isn’t.
Pre-election, he said the economy was growing 1% a year and would be in recession soon. The markets and Fed see an economy growing between 2% and 2.5% a year and accelerating slightly. That’s the difference between living in a market-driven world that rewards being clear-eyed about data and being right, and living in a political one that rewards telling people what they want to hear.
In his political world, Trump’s policy will distort incentives and plant the seeds of the next recession, while making long-term fiscal problems much worse. Just like Bush.
It’s enough to make you cling to the one grip on power the election left Democrats, and pray for gridlock, Williams said.
“They don’t have a filibuster-proof Senate,” he said. | positive |

This totally summery Eton Mess cake is a show stopper – perfect for birthdays and celebrations and yet so easy to make!
This weekend I finally had the chance to bake again. Yay! I know it sounds a little loopy to miss baking so much, but I literally feel like I have forgotten to do something important when I don’t get the chance to get the flour and sugar out for a little play.
And of course baking fever is about to sweep the entire nation once again with the return of Great British Bake Off tonight. I must admit I was suffering from GBBO fatigue last season, but I know I will be glued to my screen once more when 8pm rolls round, who am I kidding? | positive |
from Sugar Book - phoebe phoebe Menu journal submissions contests views IWP about phoebejournal| May 15, 2013| Poetry from Sugar Book Johannes Göransson Do you think it’s easy to close a wound? To close the mouth of a wound? There is only one way: to go into the mirror and explode. Congratulations on your rotten body. Congratulation on your shredded mask. It looks like entrails on the wall, hanging from that obscene nail. Congratulations on the beautiful male bodies that hang on your wall, each one more hairless than the next, each one more softly bleeding than the next. Each one of those men belong in mirrors. Send them to the mansion for their make-up. Send them to hell for their teeth. So beautiful in the zoo. * It’s Monday. * It’s Easter today and the Catholics are covering their faces in the ashes from a burned-down studio. Another terrorist attack, another religious holiday. I’m going to join them because I need to learn about make-up from a source less dehydrated than the Last Man. * It’s the Dancer’s birthday and it’s treated like a tragedy. Complete with childhood pictures juxtaposed against his current, post-surgery visage: it’s as if the Starlet’s death and the black man’s face are both symptoms of the same crime: artifice. * A POEM ABOUT SILVER SNUFF Everybody is always telling me about serial killers. There are too many killers in your body, says my doctor. There are too many killers in your saints, say the girls I’m giving riding lessons to. Your babies are killing you, say the guys who want me to go to the shooting range with them. Once I was in a production of the Duchess of Malfi which we recorded at a shooting range. I was supposed to be the killer but I was the virgin. Was very passive in the shooting range. Wow. Things got out of hand fast. The woman who filmed me had a loud cackle and she was very strong. I couldn’t move I was so exhausted, but she wiped me off with thinner and kissed me on the lips. She tasted like bubble gum. I tasted like blubber. I used to be an anorexic but now I can’t stop eating with my mouth open. I make a sound too when I eat. Loud sounds. I should keep my mouth shut but it’s too full and my lips are too smeared with lipstick manufactured by dead women in Juarez. * I wrote that poem in a notebook with a lion on the cover. * The latest theory propagated by the Governor: there’s a serial killer on the loose. He’s the one who’s been abducting all those girls on the street, leaving them in the street as a kind of message to god-fearing Californians. The motorcyclist guard is merely trying to protect the people of Los Angeles against this threat. Be on the lookout for men who walk strangely or talk strangely or who approach the city like it’s a staged show. Smash the lights. Drink poison like lovers. * I hate everyone. It’s why I wear silk so wretchedly. * I dream the governor comes to me and tells me: “You have to find a conclusion to our national night-mare, debris-mare, mare-mare, hot trot. It’s hard to ride in this kind of weather. You will find a way to salvage our organs and our images: they will have a place. Too many women running around like chickens with their heads cut off thinking that they have penises; too many punched-out castmembers gorged in the strip search. You will find a beginning and end. “ When I tell my wife about the dream she tells me to ignore the governor. “You’re not finding anything for him, you’re finding something for your eyes.

Man wrongly jailed for 27 years walks free ... and is hit by a taxi
The man released after spending 27 years in jail for a murder he did not commit has spent his first weekend of freedom in hospital after being hit by a taxi.
Sean Hodgson needed stitches in his face after being struck by the cab as he was about to cross a busy road in London.
His solicitor said the accident was just one example of how difficult it was for Mr Hodgson to adjust to life on the outside after nearly three decades behind bars.
Bitter taste of freedom: Sean Hodgson, left, with his brother Pete leaves the High Court before they headed for the pub - where Sean had to be stopped from lighting up
Mr Hodgson was convicted in 1982 of killing barmaid Teresa De Simone after he confessed to the murder while in prison for another offence.
But the 58-year-old was finally released last week after new DNA evidence came to light proving he could not have committed the 1979 murder.
Declaring himself 'ecstatic' as he left the Royal Courts of Justice last Thursday, Mr Hodgson headed straight for the pub for a pint with his brother Peter and the £46 prison discharge grant he had in his pocket.
But in a moment reminiscent of Rip Van Winkle - the classic story of a man who falls asleep for 20 years and wakes to find the world changed - Mr Hodgson immediately had to be stopped from lighting a cigarette, unaware of the smoking ban introduced in pubs nationwide two years ago.
Solicitor Julian Young said his client was upbeat but was finding especially difficult to adjust to life in the capital.
Mystery: Police have reopened the investigation into the murder of Teresa De Simone, above, after Sean Hodgson was proven innocent
Describing the accident, Mr Young said: 'He was struck by the wing mirror of a taxi that mounted the kerb and taken to hospital where he had two stitches in his face.
'He's OK but I think he's struggling with life on the outside, and particularly in London. He's been in to see us and his spirits are up,' he said.
Mr Hodgson, who left prison with just £46 discharge grant, is now staying in a small hotel paid for by housing benefit arranged with the help of the Royal Courts of Justice's miscarriage of justice team.
Mr Young said work had now begun on Mr Hodgson's claim for compensation for the years he spent inside.
He added: 'We're hopeful things might be moved through a bit quicker for someone who has wrongly spent 27 years in prison.
'You might think a moral stand could be taken given the nature of the case.'
A Home Office scheme means compensation is capped at £500,000. But Mr Hodgson may make a further claim against the Forensic Science Service (FSS) after a blunder prevented him being released ten years ago.
In 1998, the FSS wrongly told his solicitors no scientific evidence had been kept from the murder scene behind the Tom Tackle pub, in Southampton, Hants.
Mr Hodgson was jailed for life for strangling Miss De Simone after her body was found in her Ford Escort in December 1979.
He confessed to the murder a year later while in jail for stealing a car - but later retracted his confession, saying he was a 'pathological' liar.
Despite this a jury convicted him of the grisly murder of Teresa, who also worked as an accounts clerk for a gas company.
Mr Hodgson appealed unsuccessfully against his conviction in 1983.
Although he continued to protest his innocence while being held in Albany Prison on the Isle of Wight, his case remained closed until he contacted solicitors last year.
Earlier this year, a review of the DNA evidence showed the genetic material found at the scene did not match a sample taken from him.
Police have now reopened their investigation into the killing of the 22-year-old. | positive |
It's time to "legalize it" in Illinois.
That was the message from a cohort of elected officials at a Monday press conference in downtown Chicago that called for the legalization of recreational marijuana in Illinois.
“The main difference between the War on Drugs and Prohibition is that, after 40 years, this country still hasn’t acknowledged that the War on Drugs is a failure,” said Cook County Commissioner John Fritchey, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
In what's perhaps the strongest show of support yet for legalizing recreational marijuana in Illinois, Fritchey was joined by State Representatives Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago), Christian Mitchell (D-Chicago) and Mike Zalewski (D-Riverside) in calling for a task force to address all aspects of legalizing recreational marijuana, WGN reports.
“We can find a way to do this and look at what other states have done, and cherry pick the good ideas, dismiss the bad ideas and find a workable policy that recognizes what we’re doing now simply isn’t right,” Fritchey said, according to WBEZ.
Illinois is still in the midst of crafting rules for its medical marijuana pilot program, set to become the strictest in the nation. Fritchey and others acknowledged the statewide legalization of weed for recreational use is still a ways off, but believe decriminalization is the first step.
Beyond tax revenue, Fritchey said decriminalization could soothe other issues, like the racial disparity in drug enforcement efforts and arrests.
“You’ll see people getting swept off the streets on a daily basis on the South Side and the West Side," Fritchey said, according to the Sun-Times, referencing predominantly black and Latino areas of Chicago. "You don’t see kids getting arrested in Lincoln Park."
The pro-legalization lawmakers aren't without their opponents, including the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police. At the conference, the group said legalizing recreational weed could be particularly dangerous for teens and motorists who may drive under the influence.
Cassidy told the Sun-Times “the sky won’t fall" if marijuana is decriminalized. | positive |

RALEIGH, North Carolina — Veteran pollster Frank Luntz told Breitbart News on Monday afternoon before a Donald Trump rally at the J.S. Dorton arena that he thinks the election will come down to four states: Florida, North Carolina, Nevada, and New Hampshire.
Luntz told Breitbart News: “Those are states Trump can win and has to win.”
Breitbart News asked Luntz specifically about Nevada, where early voting results reportedly favor Democrats, and there are anecdotal reports of high Latino turnout. Is it possible for Trump to lose Nevada and pick up one or two blue states elsewhere?
“I don’t believe he will,” Luntz said.
Trump was scheduled to speak in North Carolina as the second stop of a five-state spring to the finish in the 2016 campaign.
He spoke at a Sarasota, Florida rally earlier on Monday, and is scheduled to speak in Scranton, Pennsylvania; Manchester, New Hampshire; and Grand Rapids, Michigan before the end of the day.
According to Luntz’s analysis, only two of those three are viable options for Trump. However, moments before he spoke, Trump’s campaign manager, veteran pollster Kellyanne Conway, tweeted the results of a poll that have Trump one point ahead of Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania.
Trump’s current strategy appears to be to poach a blue state from the Democratic column. Both the Trump and Clinton campaigns are fighting hard in Michigan and Pennsylvania, suggesting those are the most likely targets.
Early voting totals in several other states appear to favor Trump, as do opinion polls, especially in Ohio. Conventional wisdom holds that no Republican can win the White House without the Buckeye State.
Joel B. Pollak is Senior Editor-at-Large at Breitbart News. His new book, See No Evil: 19 Hard Truths the Left Can’t Handle, is available from Regnery through Amazon. Follow him on Twitter at @joelpollak. | positive |

Tsubasa Endoh entered the 2016 Major League Soccer SuperDraft with an extra spring in his step.
Endoh, a 22-year-old native of Tokyo, was named the Most Valuable Player of the MLS Player Combine earlier this week in Fort Lauderdale. This after a successful four-year stint at the University of Maryland where the midfielder earned a number of honours, including Big Ten Championship Most Valuable Offensive Player for 2015.
No doubt Endoh’s performance at the combine helped raise his stock ahead of the college draft. But even the young Japanese prospect was surprised when Toronto FC used the ninth overall selection to pick him during Thursday’s event in Baltimore.
MORE ON THE MLS SUPERDRAFT:
“I didn’t expect to get drafted quite that high in the first round. I wasn’t ready for it at all. I was expecting second or third round, or maybe I was pretty worried about not getting drafted in the SuperDraft… so I’m pretty happy that I got drafted in the first round,” Endoh admitted during a conference call with reporters moments after hearing his name called.
In four seasons at Maryland, Endoh appeared in 85 matches, scoring 12 goals and tallying 16 assists for the Terrapins. At five-foot-seven and 141 lb., he doesn’t have great size. But he describes himself as a technical player with a good touch on the ball, and he likens himself to TFC captain Michael Bradley.
“He can run the whole game and I’m that type of player, too. I’m not going to run out of gas,” Endoh promised.
Toronto coach Greg Vanney affirmed: “He’s got a big engine. He covers a lot of ground over the course of the game.”
Vanney added he feels Endoh is capable of making the team’s roster for the upcoming MLS season, rather than signing him to TFC 2, the team’s USL feeder club.
Most media critics and mock draft pundits didn’t see Endoh going in the first round. That didn’t stop TFC from picking him, though, as the Maryland midfielder was on the team’s radar even before the combine.
“Quite simply, to me he was the best all around soccer player in the draft,” Vanney boldly stated. “His knowledge of the game, his field awareness, his technical proficiency—he showed it at the combine, we had him highly rated even before we went to the combine.”
Vanney heralded Endoh as a two-footed player who is sharp when in possession and is known for his quick thinking on the field. Vanney also believes Endoh can provide TFC’s attack some much-needed width.
“He’s very quick and shifty. He beats people on the dribble, he creates opportunities and he can find people because of his technical abilities,” Vanney said. “He’s more known as winger than central player, and for us we’re looking for guys who can play on the outside.”
The Maryland star’s character and personal history are two more reasons why TFC is so high on him.
Endoh left home when he was 12 and moved to Fukushima, where he was a member of the inaugural class of players at the Japanese Football Association Academy, an elite residential program that was launched to develop top youth soccer players in Japan.
In March 2011, Endoh was training at the academy facility in Fukushima when the ground began to shake. The ensuing earthquake and the tsunami devastated Japan. According to the Japanese National Police Agency, over 15,000 people died in the disaster and nearly a quarter million people were displaced from their homes.
Even before the earthquake, Endoh was looking to make a move to play in the NCAA. He traveled to the U.S. in the summer of 2010 and caught the eye of noted college coach Sasho Cirovski.
Cirovski told Endoh he was interested in him, but that he’d have to improve his English. A few months after he started to work on the language, Cirovski offered him a scholarship at Maryland.
“I’m proud of myself because what I went through in Japan was petty dramatic. All the experiences helped me to get me to where I am now,” Endoh said.
Vanney was impressed with Endoh’s ability to adapt to a new life and culture, attributes he feels will help the Japanese make the jump from the NCAA ranks to the pro game.
“When you get to a new team and you get to a new level of play the [question is] how quickly you can make that adjustment. He’s been highly tested in that regard as a young man, so his confidence in that way was definitely one of the things we took into consideration,” Vanney said.

Boy Scouts Have No One Famous to Play at Their Jamboree Because They Kick Out Gay Kids – Mother Jones Skip to main content Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Email Print Comments Donate Donate Subscribe Coronavirus Electric Cars Pakistan Free Covid Tests Newsletters Politics Environment Crime and Justice Food Media Investigations Photos Magazine Coronavirus Electric Cars Pakistan Free Covid Tests Subscribe to our magazine Donate Smart, Fearless Journalism Politics Environment Crime and Justice Food Media Investigations Photos Magazine Newsletters Politics March 5, 2013 Boy Scouts Have No One Famous to Play at Their Jamboree Because They Kick Out Gay Kids Dana Liebelson Bio | Follow Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Email Print Comments The only musicians headlining the Boy Scouts’ annual Jamboree, “proof that rock music is dead” band Train and “Call Me Maybe” singer Carly Rae Jepsen, announced this week that they refuse to play the event, which is expected to have up to 40,000 attendees, as long as the organization continues to discriminate against gay Scouts and scoutmasters. Train wrote on Friday that it will not perform unless the Boy Scouts “make the right decision” and overturn the ban before the Jamboree. Jepsen appears to have dropped out entirely today, according to her Twitter account. The announcements come after a Change.org petition asking the artists to step down garnered 62,000 signatures in four days. So who is going to serenade the Scouts while they partake in community service, Buckskin games, pioneering, technology quests, 3-D archery, and shotgun shooting? “I was trying to think of artists that are anti-gay that the Boy Scouts could get, and I couldn’t think of any,” Rich Ferraro, a spokesman for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) tells Mother Jones. “Perhaps they can ask Chuck Norris or Victoria Jackson.” Ferraro adds that this is the first year he’s aware of that the Boy Scouts have been without any entertainment because of the ban. Deron Smith, director of public relations for the Boy Scouts of America, told Mother Jones that the group remains “focused on delivering a great Jamboree program for our Scouts,” but did not comment on who would be replacing Train and Jepsen. The Boy Scouts announced in January that they would consider overturning its decades-old anti-gay policy, but they are putting off any decision until May (even if the Scouts do overturn the policy, however, troops on the local level will still be allowed to discriminate). Pressure to overturn the ban has been intensifying over the last few months, with funders dropping out, Scouts renouncing their membership, and even President Obama denouncing the policy. “No fair-minded media outlet, corporation or celebrity will want to partner with the BSA as long as the organization puts discrimination and anti-gay bias before the needs of young people,” GLAAD said in a statement. BSA’s Smith says the Scouts “appreciate everyone’s right to express an opinion” and “don’t have anything to add at this time.” Image Source: GLAAD Looking for news you can trust?

Best Available Dictators – banknotesindustries banknotesindustries Best Available Dictators by Casey Singer With the death of Fidel Castro last fall, the number of world leaders with even theoretically verifiable experience on the diamond has fallen to a new low. Despite efforts and reputation, Castro never quite achieved the heights of dictatorship as envisioned by self-impressed prevaricator “Che” Guevera, settling for middling career numbers in a pursuit fueled, per persistent rumor despite the dates not matching in the slightest, by the shortsightedness of the Baltimore Orioles, whom we delight in blaming for let’s say all of Cuba’s ills even though, again, they didn’t even exist during Castro’s youth. So you find yourself in need of a dictator, but aren’t sure where to look? You want solid stats and a proven track record, but it’s a tricky affair: Rare is the dictator who swaps teams mid-career. Rare as well is the hot prospect, dictators often being defined in part by the longevity of their rule. Surely you’ve considered making an offer to Kim, who doubtless owns a Batting Average, OBP, and wOBA each over 1.000, if we are to presume his family’s sporting prowess extends to pastimes more popular in their southern neighbor than at home. Ah, but the scouts have cooled on his staying power, suggesting that this reigning copy-of-a-copy is more dud than stud. You’ve caught Assad’s name in the news quite a bit of late. He seems to be coming to the end of his contract, unless the international community decides to give him an extension, and has even begun cultivating a mustache to improve his appeal with the youth demographic, but two factors have dampened interest: First is a spotty career defined more by peaks than by consistency, though his qualities as a dictator have increasingly shone through as his body of work is reviewed, notwithstanding the fact he was bombed in his last several outings; second is the strong presence of Russia in negotiations, suggesting to some that the team may be seeking a return to their days of being a multi-dictator powerhouse, as they were in the heydey of the USSR pennant-winning dynasty (although it produced just the one championship), and that the embattled honcho may already be off the table. Speaking of which, after starting with little promise, Berdimuhamedov has quickly shown himself to be as crazy and oppressive as a dictator needs to be, but most critics complain his rule lacks the particularly loony flavor of his predecessor, Niyazov. The same is often said of other Central Asian states and a desperate GM begins to despair for the mass-murderers of yesteryear. How precious a gem is a Mugabe, still plugging away, decades of crime under the spotlight? Is it too late to turn up another quiet, under-the-radar performer like Afwerki, efficiently flipping from independence to one of the world’s most oppressive regimes in just a few years? There are risks, of course. The last thing one wants is for a possible dictator to pull an Obasanjo — inheriting a junta only to turn around and begin transitioning toward a democratic civilian government right away. Some teams just don’t have the structure in place to produce their own superstar strongman, but all is not lost. Many otherwise multiparty states have achieved some degree of success with an ersatz dictator, such as in the case of a Berlusconi, who, despite being in and out of the roster and operating in a system that should in theory have prevented it, put up outstanding numbers. Sometimes a franchise just needs to foster a supportive oligarchy, and the damage that can be achieved in a short time will be tremendous. In the end, we suggest that one not pine for greater monsters, comparing today’s standouts to the legends of the past era — the game was different in the 30s and 40s — but instead appreciate the real potential of the leaders you’ve got.

There are many reasons why your headphone sound will suddenly start sounding weird. However, we can put these reasons under three different categories, and they are a problem with your computer, a problem with the headphone itself, and a problem with the headphone cable. Some latest computers that are in the market today, has inside of them what is called Sound card, and this sound card is fixed to the motherboard. This has left the sound card exposed to other components inside the computer, such as the CPU, graphics card and many more. When these other computer components start interfering with the sound card, it can cause a weird sound. When the connector on the cable is bad, it prevents it from connecting well with the audio source, thereby distorting the sound. Also when the headphone speakers are bad, it can emit a distorted sound.

Fresh off a club national championship, an Austin team will move into Major League Rugby in 2018 with a new name and plans for an expanded stadium.
The Austin Huns Elite pro side is re-launching as Austin Elite Rugby.
"It’s important for us to become the Central Texas professional rugby team," co-owner Richard Osborn told the American-Statesman on Wednesday. "We felt that creating a separate brand was necessary from a business perspective with sponsors, investors and others."
Meanwhile, the Huns RFC amateur club, formed in 1972, will carry on with its various teams as a separate entity. The Huns compete in USA club rugby national competitions, ranging from Division 1 to Division 3.
Austin Elite is a for-profit entity. The Huns are a non-profit organization.
"We will still have a working partnership with Huns RFC, but now we also will work with all the other senior, college and youth groups in our area," Osborn said.
Nixon Field, at 4107 Nixon Lane in southeast Austin, also will undergo a name change and facilities upgrade on the 34 acres of Elite Rugby Management property near where Walnut Creek intersects with the Colorado River. The current field has a capacity of 1,800.
"Our new facility will be Stadium ATX, and it will seat around 3,000 to 3,500, with the option for further expansion in the future," said Osborn, who intends to have the upgraded capacity for the 2018 season.
Osborn said a new website, stadiumatx.com, will be up and running in the next few days.
ERM ownership consists of Osborn, Christopher Bugge, Thierry Daupin, former USA Eagles national team captain Todd Clever and new partner Christophe Lavigne.
The franchise has been transitioning to full pro status for the last few years, and the core group of players for the 2018 team will come from its 2017 USA Rugby D1 national title team. It will be reinforced by national and international signings, according to club officials.
Preseason games will start in February with the regular-season schedule to be announced. The inaugural Major League Rugby campaign is expected to have nine or 10 teams, spread from New Orleans to Seattle.
Austin Elite Rugby also plans to introduce the sport to the community through its Rugby 101 program, which will work with regional middle school programs and after-school programs through YMCA, Breakthrough Austin and other organizations.

SINGAPORE: The government’s demonetisation move has deepened digital payments penetration in the country by pushing people to pay for personal consumption items electronically, according to TR Ramachandran , group country manager for India and South Asia at Visa Consolidated Support Services (I) Pvt Ltd.Non-discretionary categories such as fuel and groceries are also adding to digital transactions, he said. “India has perhaps leapfrogged three-four years and achieved what otherwise could have happened in 2020,” Ramachandran said at a media briefing here. “There has been a significant increase in digital payments penetration post demonetisation. In the overall context, we look at what is known as PCE (personal consumption expenditures),” he said.The current penetration of digital payments for these expenses is 7-9%, according to Ramachandran.“So this is not a one year or two years, but a multiyear opportunity to convert cash into digital. Consumers are slowly but steadily embracing digital payments. Moving towards cashless economy is a Utopian world . Moving less cash is certainly realistic and within the realm of 2017,” he said.India represents perhaps the single-largest cash displacement opportunity. Its PCE is about 60% of its GDP . In dollar terms, it is about a trillion dollars, and less than 8% of that is digital, according to an estimate by credit card company Visa. With 10 NEFTs and cheques, that number moves to about 11.5%, which means there is digitalisation opportunity of about $900 billion, Ramachandran said.“If digitalisation was to increase in India by 10%, then the estimated cost of cash would be 1.5% of GDP. So, a 10% increase means that by 2022 India will save Rs 4 lakh crore. This is the size of the savings potential for digitalisation. We must take steps,” Ramachandran said.Referring to demonetisation, or the currency swap programme initiated by the government last year, Ramachandran said, “We have not really gone back to November levels and the stability now is still significantly higher than what pre-demonetisation levels were. Of course, a little lower as compared to December and January, which were obviously the highest when there was no cash at all. It’s gratifying to see a couple of things.”(The writer was in Singapore at the invitation of Visa) | positive |

He markets these new dreams until they, too, reveal their inadequacies, and the cycle restarts. That’s why Don loves beginnings: Fantasies are believable in the beginning. Then they lose their sheen.

Andrew Luck and RG III are playoff bound, while Sam Bradford is not.
At the time, I wrote the Rams should pick RG III, but hindsight is 20/20 and who knows where the Rams would be if that scenario took place. It didn’t so let’s focus on the 2012 Rams rookie class.
Michael Brockers A-
Brockers finished his rookie season with 31 tackles (20 solo) and four sacks in 13 games.
Brockers was everything the Rams hoped he’d be along the defensive front line. His performance was even more impressive considering he was slowed by a high ankle sprain through the first three games and said he never quite felt 100 percent all year. Brockers has the potential to become one of the top defensive tackles in the league and should help anchor the club’s defensive front for years to come.
Brian Quick C
Though the low-grade, Quick is not a huge concern. He has all the intangibles, but the jump from Appalachian State into the NFL was a big leap. Quick has pure, raw talent. He never learned an extensive playbook in college, and it became an overwhelming year one for him.
Quick finished his rookie season catching just 11 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns, but his grab against Minnesota quickly reassured every one of his potential.
Janoris Jenkins A-
Jenk played almost every snap (aside from SF/suspended) in 2012. He immediately brought a big-play threat, scoring four defensive touchdowns.
His off-field issues only got the best of him once, but the off-season will test his character. Janoris is not a bad guy by any means. The defensive unit developed a strong camaraderie with Jenk during the year, and Cortland Finnegan plays a huge role in his development into the NFL.
Jenkins has a ways to go in pass coverage. His occasional lapses cost the Rams dearly. Jenkins has a -11.4 score in pass coverage from Pro Football Focus. Opposing quarterbacks are completing 61.5 percent of their passes against him, and he’s been scored on five times.
Most of his problems stem from biting on fakes and double moves.
Isaiah Pead D+
Pead’s rookie campaign was a challenge. 7th round pick Daryl Richardson ran laps around Pead’s progress, and he was lost in the running back shuffle.
Pead needs to have a strong offseason and prove his second-round worth. He showed flashes in Week 17 against Seattle that were impressive, and had some nice garbage time runs against New England in London.
Unfortunately, his season will be remembered as the guy who fumbled a kickoff return against San Francisco which Frank Gore turned into a go-ahead 20-yard TD run on the very next play.
Trumaine Johnson C+
The 3rd round pick out of Montana is an exciting player. Johnson has good coverage skills, and he got better the more he played outside. Johnson finished with 2 interceptions and 8 passes defended against, but he had about five dropped interceptions.
Some project Johnson as a safety, but Jeff Fisher shot that down.
Chris Givens B+
Givens established himself as a legitimate deep target for Sam Bradford. He had a five-week span where he caught a pass over 50-yards.
Givens finished with a team-high 698 yards receiving on 42 receptions with three touchdowns.
Givens developed his underneath game as the season went on.
Rokevious Watkins NO GRADE
Rok opened the season as the starting left guard before a season-ending ankle injury.
Greg Zuerlein B
Zuerlein was the team MVP early on, connecting on his first 15 kicks before enduring a rough game in Miami. Legatron earned his nickname for his big leg, but missed a few clutch kicks.
His worst kick came on a 57-yard try, which would be hard to fault a guy for if he hadn’t proclaimed he once hit a 74-yard field goal.
Here were Zuerlein’s misses in 2012: 66, 58, 58, 57, 52, 50, 37, 35.
Draw your own conclusions.
Darryl Richardson B
Daryl provided a nice change of pace option for Steven Jackson. Richardson showed the big play speed, and had the 7th most rushing yards amongst rookie running backs (475).
Richardson slowed down with just 24 yards rushing over the final five weeks, but he did catch eight passes for 44 yards.
He had long runs of 53, 44, 32, and 20 yards in 2012.
While he probably isn’t durable enough to handle a full load, his versatility and speed make him a dangerous weapon.

Over the past 2 years, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) have been attempting to update their policy on the use of non-conventional medical therapies. They have landed on a draft policy called Non-allopathic (Non-conventional) Therapies in Medical Practice and there will be many in the skeptical community that will have a problem with the policy.
The Committee for the Advancement of Scientific Skepticism (CASS) certainly found many problems, and after our own evaluation of the draft policy and policies in other jurisdiction, we have produced a response to the draft policy that we have submitted to the CPSO today.
Among the many difficulties CASS has with the policy, the most obvious has to do with the title. As Flora at the Winnipeg Skeptics blog detailed well, the term “allopathy” signals a wrong direction being taken by those attempting to maintain a neutral position when describing non-conventional medicine. The term, coined by Samual Hahnemann as a counter for his term homeopathy, means to treat disease with its opposite, in order to cure it. This term misses the mark completely in terms of modern medical diagnosis and the adoption of the term by the CPSO bespeaks an undue influence over the committee by alternative medical promoters.
The other problems CASS has with the draft policy concern the wishy-washy position on evidence that the CPSO seems to have when it comes to non-conventional treatments – after all if they were proved useful, they would now be conventional medicine – and the attempt to muzzle physicians from expressing their personal professional opinion on any non-conventional therapy if it falls into the category of “non-clinical” opinion. This is a very ambiguous term and who really knows what they mean by the term, but you can read the policy and our response to it and decide for yourself.
I would not be writing this if I thought we could do nothing to oppose and change the viewpoint of the CPSO. That is why CASS is calling on members of both the public and the medical field to read the policy and comment on it. There is strong representation in the current comments of supporters of alternative medicine and we do not want all of the feedback to be pro-pseudoscience. Please visit the CPSO policy site above and fill out the comment form available at the bottom of the page. The deadline for this consultation is September 1st 2011, so we must move quickly and let the CPSO know the safety of Ontarians depends upon sound medical opinion based on modern scientific evidence.

Dogs are not always man's best friend.
In Iran, having dogs as pets is seen as an undesirable reflection of Western influence. City workers are asked to shoot stray dogs and animal shelters are very rare.
However, in the countryside west of Tehran, several kindhearted locals have taken it upon themselves to save and care for unwanted dogs at the Vafa Animal Shelter. The shelter was established through an endowment in 2004 and is the country’s only licensed animal refuge, currently home to more than 500 dogs.
Because pet dogs are so uncommon, the shelter has a hard time finding permanent homes for the animals - only six dogs are adopted on average each month. But the workers at Vafa devote a lot of time to make the shelter a good home for the animals and finding people to adopt and love them.

Active regions 2108 and 2109 are now passing around the limb of the Sun, but not before solar photography specialist Alan Friedman grabbed a few pictures of them on Friday! The image above, captured by Alan from his location in Buffalo, NY, shows the two large sunspots nestled in a forest of solar spicules while a large detached prominence hovers several Earth-diameters inside the corona. A beautiful snapshot of our home star!
Captured in hydrogen-alpha wavelengths, the image above has been colored by Alan, rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, and inverted from the original. The sunspots and standing prominence are cooler in Ha than the surrounding chromosphere and corona, and so actually photograph darker.
A view of sunspot 2109 in visible light can be seen below:
Sunspots are the result of magnetic fields rising up from deep within the Sun, preventing convection from occurring in large areas on the Sun’s surface and thereby creating relatively cooler regions we see as dark spots. They can often be many times the size of Earth and can be sources of powerful solar flares.
See these and more images by Alan on his blog here.

The Moldovan Foreign Ministry has complained to Russian diplomats over a recent military exercise involving Russian troops on the territory of Transdniester, a region of Moldova de facto controlled by Russia-backed separatists.
The ministry issued a statement on August 18 saying that the exercise was illegal, "provocative, and inadmissible." It aimed to "undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity" of Moldova, the statement added.
The ministry repeated Chisinau's demand that Russia withdraw its forces and heavy weaponry from the country and that the peacekeeping operation be handed over to international organizations.
It was the second time that exercises involving separatists and Russian forces have been held in Transdniester this month.
Russia has maintained a force of some 1,000 troops in Moldova since a cease-fire was brokered in 1992 after a brief, bloody conflict between the separatists and the Moldovan state.
Some 1,500 people died in that conflict.
In 1999, Moscow agreed to a complete withdrawal of its forces by 2002, but has failed to implement that agreement despite repeated appeals by the Moldovan government for it to do so.

Donald Trump describes himself as a businessman. And he says he wants to run the government more like a business.
But would any business hire Mr. Trump?
It isn’t a trivial question. Given the Republican presidential nominee’s vulgar boasts about sexually assaulting women and trying to coerce a woman to commit adultery with him — among other things — it is hard to believe he could get past the human resources department of a Fortune 500 company.
Over the last decade, much of corporate America has put in place strict policies to deal with sexual harassment and other offensive behavior, trying to make amends for an abhorrent history of letting such conduct go unchecked (remember “Mad Men”?). Hiring procedures at large companies, particularly for senior positions, include extensive background checks, which typically include interviewing former colleagues and combing through articles, court records and, yes, social media.
Thousands of employees have been fired or pushed out for using far less repugnant language than Mr. Trump’s words about how he gropes women. | positive |

Goku never goes 100% when he starts a battle usually starting off at base first and then transforming into the next form as the battle goes on. Saitama rapidly grows in strength while fighting strong opponents shown in his fight against Garou. Meaning if they fought in character Goku would intentionally nerf himself at the beginning and then slowly increase his power and Saitama would rapidly scale to that power until Goku reaches his limits. Even if Goku caught on to Saitamas rapid growth he still wouldn’t go to one of his stronger forms and instantly beat him since he has a habit of wanting to fight his opponents at their full strength. permalink embed save report give award reply [–]Prestam0 15 points16 points17 points 1 day ago (5 children) makes sense, Goku would do that the only thing is, maybe baldy caps at some point but if he doesnt, then all you said will happen permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]Ajaxlancer 11 points12 points13 points 1 day ago (4 children) Before he hit the cap his sneeze destroyed Jupiter, so he scales really high even in Dragonball Universe.

However, Kratos has not defenses against the celestial brush techniques, which can be performed instantly (as demonstrated when shiranui used power slash in a cutscene to block projectiles) and angled from any direction (as demonstrated in gameplay) and have crazy power potential (as demonstrated when amaterasu used the wind technique to spin a galaxy) permalink embed save report give award reply [–]TatchM 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago (1 child) I don't remember the galaxy feat, when did that happen? permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]Valdish 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago (0 children) https://youtu.be/fQuPNsUSX3k It happens near the end of the video, admittedly the validity of this feat is questionable, but i think the explanation is based around how the celestial scroll sees the world as a painting, because paintings are 2 dimensional, and so the skies are exactly as far as the land, and the sun isn't far away, it's just really tiny to the celestial scroll. Or maybe, the whirlpool galaxy really is just really tiny, however, it is still in the sky, and big enough to be visible from the ground. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]Plendamonda 46 points47 points48 points 1 day ago (5 children) Naruto Shippuden - Sasori would be able to defeat Itachi Uchiha. Sasori is a kage level fighter who's entire specialty is trick mechanical weapons All Sharingan users are implicitly relying heavily on their Sharingan to combat foes that are much faster than they are due to chakra vision, enhanced movement perception, and straight up precognition to get an edge over physically superior enemies. Particularly so against linear attacks, but notably ineffective against attacks they can't see coming. Puppet Master implicitly counters Sharingan vision: Puppets don't have muscles, don't have chakra flow, don't follow human movements, and rely heavily on seal markings. Ergo a Sharingan user would seem drastically less effective in terms of speed/reactions as they can no longer see or predict an attack. Itachi is a kage level fighter except he's half blind and nearly crippled. In his fight with Sasuke he couldn't even entirely dodge a rigged shuriken. There is absolutely no reason to believe that Sasuke can make rigged shuriken attacks better than the actual legendary kage+ prodigy who specializes in such attacks. Itachi (as with many Sharingan users) leans heavily on the use of genjutsu. Not only would a puppet be immune to genjutsu, but Sasori himself is likely immune to genjutsu. Being as he's a puppet body with fake eyes, ears, etc. We have no idea what is left of Sasori's brain or how his senses work, and there is nothing to suggest Itachi would either. Assuming it's even possible, Sasori is again a genius fighter with decades of combat experience and we know from Chiyo that they had some knowledge of how to counter genjutsu. Realistically, on top of everything said above, there is no efficient or plausible way for Itachi to out-fight 100 flying puppet enemies without taking a single scratch. This is Sasori's bread and butter move. Forcing Itachi to rely entirely on his powerful ninjutsu skills. Sasori can easily block or remove Amaterasu. Either with the Iron Sand, with his puppet body, with his hundreds of puppets, with his sealing, or by being able to switch to a new body. Sasori should be immune to Tsukiyomi both because he doesn't have real eyes and also because he would know not to look into an Uchiha's eyes. This is helped tremendously by the fact that Puppet Masters are long ranged stealth fighters at their core and he would obviously be highly skilled at fighting from a position Itachi can't even easily see him. Itachi's remaining jutsu are not likely able to fend off a full 100 suicidal flying enemies without taking a single scratch, forcing him to rely on his Susanoo for both defense and having sufficient AoE offense. Based off what we see and hear, Sasori's Iron Sand should be capable of dealing with the Susanoo in the same manner Gaara was capable of dealing with the far stronger Madara Uchiha's Susanoo. The Magnet Release will also hard counter any shuriken jutsu tricks Itachi tries to pull. TLDR: Puppets counter Sharingan, Itachi can't sustain Susanoo through 100 puppets and Iron Sand Kazekage all without taking a single scratch or breathing a single breath of poison when he's nearly ready to keel over from a single good fight anyways. permalink embed save report give award reply [–]Zubyna 11 points12 points13 points 1 day ago (0 children) It is actually very common for Naruto, people compare shinobis general powers but not what their abilities would do For instance Kakuzu is above Hidan in all Akatsuki power rankings, yet the reason why Hidan is paired with Kakuzu is because Kakuzu kept killing his teammates and he cant do it with Hidan permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]Weak_Player01[S] 7 points8 points9 points 1 day ago (1 child) Nice one bro. I only disagree a little bit on #3 coz Itachi may be had no muscle to observe but he'll probaby move his focus to the strings then. I agree with the rest. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]Plendamonda 2 points3 points4 points 1 day ago (0 children) He may be able to see the strings, but it's clear the strings have no direct correlation with the movement of the puppets considering they can control the puppets to an absurd degree even with only 1 or 2 chakra strings. On top of that there are a lot of attacks wherein Sasori simply 'activates' the mechanism and the attack is launched. For a puppet master you'd do better trying to watch the finger movements, even if you could see the strings. But in Sasori's case, he doesn't even need to use his fingers since he can just release 100 chakra threads directly from his chest. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]Zenketski_2 5 points6 points7 points 1 day ago (0 children) As a puppet master simp, I fucking love this post and every fucking thing about it.

Ben knows DIO has time powers, so he instantly transforms into Clockwork at the start of the fight (Ben has the master control now, so he doesn't need time to move or speak in order to transform anymore), rendering the World's main ability useless. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]JonLucPerrott1776 14 points15 points16 points 1 day ago * (4 children) On DIO vs. Ben: Factually inaccurate. Attempting to cut off Ben's arm DOES activate the failsafe, as shown in literally the first episode where the Omnitrix failsafe is shown and explained, "Secrets," the finale episode of Season 1 of the original series. Also your reasoning presumes that DIO has knowledge about how the Omnitrix and its failsafe work and why it would have to be removed in order to kill Ben. The actual best way for DIO to defeat Ben if he knows all about Ben's strengths and weaknesses is to stop time, knock Ben unconscious (the failsafe doesn't protect Ben from all harm, only from death or unwilling separation from the Omnitrix), and then somehow imprison him in a way that prevents him from transforming when he wakes up or keep him sedated with drugs (or just turn him into a zombie, if we assume that doesn't count as dying). On Emma vs. Deadpool or Wolverine: This depends on how much distance is between them at the beginning of the fight since if they started out really close to each other they would probably just stab her before she could do that. I really doubt she could react fast enough to defend herself against people who have successfully tagged people like Spiderman (who literally has superspeed and agility + a precognitive danger sense) before. Also, Iceman can do that too, and a lot more, but he's never been guaranteed victory in confrontations with these two until relatively recently when his powers got much stronger and he was revealed as an Omega level mutant. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]SkekVen 7 points8 points9 points 1 day ago (3 children) Cutting off Ben’s arm results in a “dead” arm. Cutting off the arm and then grafting it to yourself (perfectly in DIOs ability set) while time is stopped would not because as far as the omnitrix can tell, at no point in time has the arm been dead. And i would assume there is some distance between them. It’s basically “can they get to Emma before she can open her hand” which i would guess at any considerable distance, they cannot. They’re agile, but not particularly fast (peak human/slightly over peak human speed) and as for ice man, that just means he was at one point less powerful with his cryokinesis than Emma is permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]JonLucPerrott1776 10 points11 points12 points 1 day ago * (2 children) The Omnitrix failsafe has two aspects: one is preventing death by transforming Ben to a suitable form, the other is preventing anything that doesn't already have Ben's DNA from removing the Omnitrix by pushing them away with Omni-energy if they try to remove the Omnitrix OR the limb it is attached to. The failsafe can operate outside of time, as shown in the series finale of Omniverse when Ben is transformed into Feedback by it to absorb the energy of the Big Bang in the void before the current time-space continuum existed. The only time Ben's Omnitrix has been successfully removed against his will was by Kevin 11 using a piece of technology Vilgax invented, since Kevin already was partially merged with Ben's DNA and thus resistant to the repelling Omni-energy. Read this respect thread and say that again about Ice Man. He literally does what you described Emma would do to Wolverine (freezing him internally on a cellular level) to Wolverine's son Daken, and Daken somehow recovers within minutes. Wolverine also has been reduced to just an adamantium skeleton before (no flesh to regenerate from), and somehow still regenerated. I'm not claiming it makes sense, but it did happen in the story. Actually, maybe you ought to read the speed and mobility feats section of this Wolverine respect thread as well, because Wolvie is waaay faster than peak human. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]hatdeity 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago (1 child) I really appreciate your Ben 10 knowledge! While not OP or the OP of the comment you replied to, I'd love your insight on the following "DIO" strategies concerning the Omnitrix. If attacking/removing the limb that the Omnitrix is attached to produces repelling Omni energy - what would stop DIO from simply taking Ben's other arm, and using Ben's other arm to remove the Omnitrix arm? We know that DIO can incorporate the DNA of those he is spliced with (considering he was able to pass down the Joestar bloodline). Therefore if he took the non-Omnitrix arm since that wouldn't kill Ben, then used that to remove the Omnitrix, would that be viable? Or would DIO using some of his vampiric powers be more of a strategy? While DIO Over Heaven has mind controlling powers, regular vampire DIO can create flesh buds that don't merely kill - they also control. Could he use one to convince Ben to just... take it off and hand it over (or would the Omnitrix prevent its implantation?)? Or even straight up hypnosis - another (hilarious) vampire side effect? Could DIO control Azmuth and have the alien remove it? (Since iirc only he and Ben are able to remove the Omnitrix). permalink embed save parent report give award reply continue this thread [–]bobbingforapplesat3 6 points7 points8 points 1 day ago (7 children) I mean what’s stopping dio from just stopping time and killing ben normally?

I’ll admit I’m a little shaky on it. I know if you kill an alien when transformed it simply transforms him into a different alien permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]JonLucPerrott1776 6 points7 points8 points 1 day ago * (3 children) The Omnitrix has a failsafe that automatically transforms Ben into an alien that can survive if something happens that would kill him otherwise, and it can even do this outside of time and space, like in the series finale of Omniverse where Ben is in a void before the creation of the universe and the Omnitrix transforms him into Feedback to absorb and redirect the energy of the Big Bang. The failsafe also prevents the Omnitrix from being removed from Ben unwillingly by releasing a burst of repelling Omni-energy to push away anyone who doesn't share the same DNA as Ben if they try to take it off of him. Unfortunately for SkekVen's argument about DIO beating Ben, trying to remove the Omnitrix also includes trying to remove the limb the Omnitrix is attached to, as shown in the Season 1 finale of the original series. There are ways around the failsafe, however, as Ben actually has died twice before onscreen. The first time was in Ultimate Alien when Charmcaster, wielding the power of the Alpha Rune, magically drained and then sacrificed the mana/ life energy of every creature in in the realm of Ledgerdemain (which at that moment included Ben, Gwen, and Kevin) to get some godlike magical entity to bring her dead father back to life (ironically, her father was horrified by this and gave up his own life willingly to resurrect everyone that she killed). The second time was in Omniverse, when Vilgax and a Chronisapien named Maltruant set off a Chronisapien Time Bomb that erased completely all of the timelines that led to Ben or a member of his family getting their hands on the Omnitrix ten years ago (that death ended up being reversed through some odd shenanigans by an alternate timeline Ben who never got the Omnitrix as a kid). permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]HatSnowman 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (1 child) it can even do this outside of time and space, like in the series finale of Omniverse where Ben is in a void before the creation of the universe and the Omnitrix transforms him into Feedback to absorb and redirect the energy of the Big Bang. I think this is a lot like the argument I've seen people use for Goku, where he's able to move around in a void with no time as well. But anyway, there's a bunch of different characters on screen also moving around doing things, hell the guy who's name I forgot 💀 is talking just fine despite being in a void where there should be no air. , it doesn't seem like any of them are affected by the "no time" rule. Would they also be able to move during time stop? Can Ben as a human do it too since (iirc) he's in his normal form atleast once in this empty void? Just doesn't add up imo. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]JonLucPerrott1776 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago * (0 children) Maltruant is a Chronisapien who can control time at will in almost any way he chooses. The Mr. Smoothie mascot looking characters are the Contumelia who live in the void outside of universes and create and destroy universes (including the entire space-time continuum) with their Annihilarg devices. The little green guy, Skurd, is a Slimebiote who is merged with Ben's DNA and the alien DNA in the Omnitrix (much like how the Marvel character Venom can merge with a host), and thus exists within the same pocket of time-space the Omnitrix creates for Ben. Regardless, I could easily make the same argument about DIO's "world" of stopped time. Things can still happen there, movement in the time stop "world" is just limited to other time controlling characters (like Jotaro) or objects manipulated by them (knives, road rollers, etc.). permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]bobbingforapplesat3 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (0 children) Ok so bens a little fucking broken.

I still think you’re right. I think Bane would also get bodied because Ra’s could probably get in his head. I’d however like to argue TDK Joker takes Batman Begin’s Ra’s Al Ghul. Joker handles Batman in combat with the same ferocity as Bane did while being as lightly armored as Ra’s. He’s insane so he has absolutely no skin in the game when it comes to the idea of risk. But, his insanity and reckless abandon doesn’t change the fact his favorite thing in the whole world is butchering people with knives which is why he’s a CQC expert. And with no risk aversion that means Ra’s gets bodied hard. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]kavono 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago * (0 children) which is why he’s a CQC expert. No scene in TDK suggests Joker is even close to an expert in combat. He "handled" Batman at the end of the film purely by ambushing him with flailing strikes as dogs attacked him, then having the coincidental advantage of the sonar vision briefly malfunctioning for a single hit, before pinning him thanks to the environment. Besides that, earlier in the movie, he tossed his goons towards Bruce and landed a single kick with the knife built into his shoe. He shows no advanced combat skill whatsoever. At the very most, it's clear he got the better of the one GCPD cop in the interrogation room, but we don't see what happened and nothing suggests that cop had any skill resembling Ra's. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]1random_redditor 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (0 children) Joker was definitely the most ferocious of them.

Monica is lightspeed at base. Flash doesn't usually move at lightspeed outside of calcs or explicit statements. It's not normal for him to start that quick. Plus Mon's energy powers, mobility, intangibility, etc are used more than Flash's. Kylo Ren or Rey beats Darth Maul from Episode I. As a team they beat Peak Obi-Wan, maybe Vader, definitely Kit Fisto. The Sequels have solid feats! Catching and deflecting blasters and lightsabers with the Force, realistic looking sword techniques, sending each other flying, lifting and moving big ass stuff... I dunno. Kylo beat 5 Force users in a fight where he wasn't even armed for half of it. Rey smushed a guy. I think they ragdoll most Prequel Force users by overwhelming Force supremacy. Angron beats literally any other Primarch in a fight in 30K... except maybe Magnus. Dude's unstoppable. When did he ever lose a straight one on one?

These guys weapons cause black holes across the known universe and the space they occupy causes humans to experience it as alternate realities just trying to process it. They can in an instant change reality, remove powers, change shape, time travel, teleport, and even suggest changing the constant of gravity for the ENTIRE universe as if it’s simple when The Enterprise is trying to move a moon. In the same episode they state to have a 4 figure IQ. They have stated their powers are based completely in technology. The trolling Q trolls strictly because he’s bored. He even says there is nothing at all the Q don’t understand about the universe. Utter mastery of all possible sciences. This means the Q are a Kardashev level 6 society. We have regularly seen that magic is simple science we don’t understand yet. Meaning there is simply no way Q can’t instantly nullify any power, weapon or threat.

Meaning there is simply no way Q can’t instantly nullify any power, weapon or threat. Snap of the fingers. While I disagreed with your conclusion, (As I think there are many characters that could defeat Q.) I was more or less onboard with your reasoning until this point. You ran afoul of a logical fallacy called the hasty generalization. Magic in Star Trek may be simple science that we don't understand yet, but that is something unique to Star Trek and it does not translate over to all verses. Plenty of verses have magic systems where the results are illogical and not reproducible or testable and thus do not fall under the rubric of science. Furthermore, just because Q understands all science and technology in his universe does not mean he automatically understands all science and technology in all possible universes And even if Q did understand all science and technology in all possible universes there's no evidence that would automatically allow him to counter anything he understand. For example, I understand how guns work just fine but I can do nothing to stop a bullet in flight from harming me. As for characters that could beat him, I would argue any character that has displayed multiversal levels of power and has shown resistance to things like reality warping and time travel should be able to do the job. Someone like Mercurius from Dies Irae is a good example of that. Q's weapons caused black holes throughout the universe? Mercurius condensed an infinite amount of universes into a single ball of energy and threw it at two other Hadou gods. Something like that is far more extreme than anything any Q has ever shown. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]Dilithium_Miata 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (0 children) God damn I love a well thought out argument.

Super Dimentio had the capability destroyed the totality of all worlds, timelines and possibilities in the Marioverse. A Multiversal level threat. HE WOULD HAVE SURVIVED THIS DESTRUCTION OF EXISTENCE. Yes Kirby has beaten “gods” but they have not been near this capability of power. At the top end they can destroy a universe, big whoop. Not to mention Composite mario will ALWAYS win if it means peach is captured otherwise. Mario must always save the princess according to the RPG rules with the Wishing star. Kirby cannot defeat him with normal means like BFR with inhale or turning him into red mist with his warp star because that would prevent mario from saving peach. Kirby needed 3 other friends who are his power level to Stand a chance against void termina, his strongest opponent. Void terminal is in no way near as powerful as dimentio obviously. Mario wins this. permalink embed save report give award reply [–]Markemberke 2 points3 points4 points 1 day ago (0 children) Naruto topic: Kisame vs Pein. Everyone goes "Pein stomps", but I thought about this fight for around a month now and I just can't see Pein winning. Here's the argument: first we have to discuss how Samehada would interact with the Shinra Tensei. IMO. it can absorb it or at least suck chakra out of it, therefore weakening it. Chibaku Tensei can be eaten up by Kisame's Giant Shark Bomb jutsu and after that it would get so much bigger and faster and stronger that it would neg Pein horribly. So basically the only thing Pein is left with is the Human path to rip Kisame's soul out. For that, he has to get close to Kisame, which is a horrible idea. Tendo's (the strongest) combat speed scales to base Naruto. While Kisame scales above V1 Bee, since he easily slapped him away. Meaning the paths have no chance to react to Kisame swinging his sword if they get into his range. And Kisame can easily put all of them under water, fuse with Samehada and since fused Kisame horribly murderblitzed V2 8 tails Bee, who is much stronger than 6 tails Naruto who bullied Pein, just shows that the paths get blitzed easily. All of the summons get eaten up, every ninjutsu Pein throws gets eaten up or easily dodged or even tanked. And Kisame's water bubble jutsu, the one he used against Bee is so massive that the absorber path would need days to suck it away. We saw it against Jiraiya, that it needs time to absorb larger jutsus. And Kisame's jutsus are much bigger and stronger than Jiraiya's were. So basically it can't absorb it in time. Kisame fuses with Samehada and blitzes. But even if you say no, don't go under water, it's still incredibly tuff for the paths to do anything. If any of them gets close to Kisame, that gets blitzed and one shotted. Kisame can launch his Giant Shark Bomb jutsu which can't be stopped by any path. You could argue for the big nuke Shinra Tensei. But the way Kisame's jutsu works, it would just eat it up and get stronger from it. You could also scale Kisame and Pein through the Jinchuurikis they fought. Pein couldn't handle the 6 tails Naruto, he was just running from it, couldn't tag him once. And Kisame bodied V1 Bee with all the 8 tails and on land reacted to V2 Bee (again, with all the 8 tails) and blocked it. Sure, the force was too much for him and Samehada harmed Kisame in the process, but still, reacted and blocked it. And under water fused Kisame murderblitzed V2 8 tails Bee. And even V1 Bee is much more powerful than the 6 tails Naruto Pein struggled with. So you know, just looking at the fact that Kisame did much better against a much stronger opponent, shows he's on higher level than Pein. And of course the feats, facts and abilites just support it even further. So yeah. Kisame would beat Pein IMO. It's very controversial, I know. But dayum, the feats, guys just shows this. If anyone has a decent argument against my arguments, then feel free to tell me. Tell me anything the Peins could do to Kisame, because other than the Human path ripping out his soul, I don't see anything else and I already told you why is that a horrible idea for the paths to get close to Kisame. So yeah. I appreciate any nice, well made counter arguments. If all you can say is "yOu sTuPiD, pEiN sToMpS, blöööah", then I don't care, that's not a counter argument. Use feats and facts to try and prove me wrong. Thank you!

Image copyright EPA Image caption Hundreds of villagers have fled their homes damaged by mortar shells in Indian-administered Kashmir
At least 19 people have been killed and dozens injured as Indian and Pakistani troops continue to exchange fire in some of the worst violence in the disputed region of Kashmir in a decade.
Hundreds of villagers have fled their homes. Although a 2003 ceasefire remains in place, both sides have accused each other of starting the hostilities.
The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder and Shaimaa Khalil visited villages on both sides to find out how civilians are bearing the brunt of the latest round of border hostilities.

"They were sleeping outside here when the shell came down. They died instantly."
Subarna Devi gestures towards a wooden cot placed in the courtyard of her home.
This is where her brother and his wife were killed after a Pakistani shell landed on their home in the border village of Arnia in Indian administered Kashmir.
The wall of the house is pockmarked with shrapnel marks. Elsewhere there are other signs - slippers strewn all over, a child's bicycle turned upside down and worse.
"Look, you can still see the bloodstains," Subarna Devi says, pointing to a dark stain on the ground.
The village, like many others along this suddenly volatile border, has emptied.
The houses are locked and there's no-one about, only cattle and a couple of dogs.
Image copyright EPA Image caption A number of homes in Arnia have been damaged
Across the lush green rice fields, a barbed-wire electrified fence stands out, coils of concertina wire encircling it. This is the border between India and Pakistan.
It's strangely quiet. There are a few watchtowers with a couple of soldiers in them. But there's nothing to suggest that this is a frontier which has seen some of the most intense exchange of firing between the two armies in years.
Not for long though. As we drive away, we hear a dull thud in the distance. And another, then another.
Three mortar shells fired in the space of 20 minutes.
This is what has driven thousands of villagers to flee. Many of them are crammed into temporary shelters.
At the Government Higher Secondary School in Salehar, some 10km (6.2 miles) from Arnia, villagers have taken up every available space, classrooms, the corridors outside and the playground.
"The firing started at one in the morning and continued through the night," says Satya Devi.
"We just left with the clothes we had on. Nothing else."
In one corner of the camp, a makeshift kitchen has been set up. Rice and lentils are being cooked in large pots, to be served for lunch.
"None of us want to go back," says Bharat Bhushan, who came from a neighbouring village.
"We don't want to die. But we also have our fields and our livelihood. What do we do?"
The sudden escalation of tensions has caught many here by surprise. And while everyone here blames Pakistan, there are others who are hoping it can be contained before it gets out of control.
Shaimaa Khalil, Sialkot district, Pakistan
Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption Shaimaa Khalil reports from the Pakistani side of the border as violence there escalates to the worst level in years
The sleepy Pakistani village of Dhamala is not an area which normally sees intense shelling but in the last few days it has.
Only a few hundred metres from the Indian border, it took a heavy hit in the latest flare-up between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
The latest exchange of fire happened during the festival of Eid, one of the holiest times for Muslims.
Maj-Gen Khan Tahir Javed Khan said the number of mortar rounds and bullets fired from the Indian side had surged in recent weeks.
"It is the most intense in decades," he said. "My message to them (India) is: please de-escalate."
Maj Gen Khan added that the Indian side was getting more aggressive by the day.
Image copyright AFP Image caption Irum Shehzadi lost two sons in a mortar attack
At least 11 Pakistani civilians have been killed since hostilities erupted more than week ago - three of them in Dhamala village.
Walking into the courtyard of the Akhtar family house you can see the damage right away: one of the walls is peppered with holes from the shelling; and a child's slippers abandoned on the floor, next to a blood-stained pillow and shirt, gives away the grave loss of this family. Bits of mortar shells are strewn on the floor.
All three deaths in the village were from the Akhtar family. They lost two of their three boys in the shelling as well the grandmother, neighbours tell me. The house itself has been deserted.
At a nearby hospital I find the mother.
Irum Shehzadi is sitting on a bed next to her only surviving six-year-old son, Akeel Akhtar. He had bandages on his face and hands and was sleeping next to his mother.
Image copyright AFP Image caption The sleepy Pakistani village of Dhamala is one of the worst-affected
She burst into tears the minute I asked her about what had happened to her and her family.
"My kids wore their new clothes and we're getting ready to celebrate Eid," she said, crying uncontrollably. "And now they're dead.
"My whole world has been destroyed - I can never go to that village again," Irum said.
Akeel moves in his hospital bed as he wakes up next to his mother. He doesn't yet know he has lost both his brothers.
Each side accuses the other of targeting civilian and violating the ceasefire. There's no sign yet of when the latest escalation will stop - nor of where it will lead. | positive |

Two watchdog groups filed a lawsuit Monday to force three different federal agencies to make public the internal documents and communications related to a commission President Donald Trump convened to investigate voter fraud.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in New York by the Brennan Center for Justice and Protect Democracy Project against the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of Management and Budget. The lawsuit came after all three agencies did not respond to a Freedom of Information Act request for documents related to the commission.
The suit is notable because the commission, which formally met for the first time in July, has said little about its methodology. It has not posted public comments it has received since mid-July and has said little about who will staff it and how it will work with other federal agencies. Marc Lotter, a spokesman for Vice President Mike Pence, the commission’s chair, told ProPublica the panel planned to run voter data collected from all 50 states against federal databases. The Washington Times reported in June the commission will compare voter roll data against a DHS database of non-citizens.
After the panel’s July 19 meeting, Kobach told reporters the size of the commission’s staff would be “substantial,” and indicated there were people in other agencies in the federal government who were working on it.
“Not only do you have the full-time staff here, you have people who are detailed to work for the commission from other agencies,” he told reporters.
Many observers were also alarmed when the Department of Justice sent out a letter to 44 states at the end of June asking them to explain their compliance with voter purge procedures required by federal law. The letter was sent the same day the commission sent out a letter to all 50 states asking them to turn over voter information, though a DOJ official said in July the timing was a coincidence.
In the suit, the plaintiffs say they are seeking records from OMB because agencies are required to receive approval from the office before beginning a broad effort to collect information. The commission does not appear to have sought approval from OMB before issuing a broad request for voter information, and has argued in separate litigation that it did not have to because it is not a federal agency.
Critics are concerned the commission will lay the groundwork for more restrictive voting policies, which they note many of the commissioners have a history of pushing.
“This administration has a troubling pattern of keeping public information from the public — a pattern that is continuing with this commission,” Wendy Weiser, director of the Brennan Center’s Democracy Program, said in a statement. “The government’s obligation to share this information is especially important when there are so many reasons to be skeptical of this commission. When the public is not able to oversee the work of a presidential panel like this, there is a risk of abuse, which could negatively impact voting rights across the country.” | positive |
