3 - Ethics
Objectivist Philosophy
Settling the debate on Altruism
By Christopher,
March 25, 2009 in 3 - Ethics
Simply saying "man's rational capacity" is quite vague - Korzybski's explanation is very detailed. It explains that the "time-binding" occurs as a result of endeavours in mathematics and mechanics (read science) of one generation are used as starting points in the next generation.
You are contrasting a bare definition with an explanation. "Rational capacity" has been explained by a host of philosophers in far greater detail than Korzybski ever explained his definition. Moroever, his observations are commonplace among philosophers; much of Herbert Spencer's theory of social evolution, for example, is based on the transmission and improvement of knowledge from one generation to the next.
You might know all this if you ever read anyone other than Korzybski. Oh, but I forgot -- Korzybski solved (or dismissed) every fundamental philosophical problem, so you don't need to read anyone else. Please forgive me for this oversight, but I sometimes hear orthodox Objectivists say the same thing about Rand, so I've grown suspicious of such cultish claims.
The "time" refers to the passage of generations, having "rationality" doesn't address this passing of knowledge from one generation to the next
This is a preposterous claim, but if Korzybski said so, it must be true.
General Semantics is primarily a theory of sanity - not philosophy. I am not interested in Philosophy so I don't read it, I am interested in sanity and so I read about it. I'm sure many people have made similar observations as Korzybski but his was the first (and only AFAIK) general theory of sanity.
All this means is you are a Sanitist. That's a philosophy. If you really had no use for philosophy you simply wouldn't be here on what is a philosophy list. Words themselves denoting concepts are philosophy incarnate for they connote free will (choice) and reasoning minds.

Your aversion to philosophy was not shared by Korzybski. He dedicated Science and Sanity to a long list of works "which have greatly influenced my enquiry" -- including works by the philosophers Aristotle, Plato, Descartes, Leibniz, Locke, Royce, Russell, and Whitehead. For the complete dedication, see:
http://www.rodsmith.org.uk/alfred-korzybski/science-sanity%20-%200009.htm
If Korzybski could learn from reading some of the great philosophers, his disciples should be able to learn something as well.
In case there is any misunderstanding, I should note that my obvious contempt for Korzybskian true believers no more reflects a contempt for Korzybski himself than my contempt for Randian true believers reflects a contempt for Rand herself. I have fundamental disagreements with Korzybski, but those are a different matter. Both Korzybski and Rand were original and provocative thinkers. They thought for themselves, which is more than can be said for many of their disciples.

Why would that distinction matter here? A theory of sanity (or of pickling cabbage, for that matter) would, I trust, not be absolved from having clear definitions or being subjected to the usual criticisms of other theories.
Well, it seems like George is trying to put general semantics into the category of Philosophy because he keeps bringing them into the conversation. Korzybski always intended gs to be an empirical science of man - one that would have experimentation and practical applications - ie. like promoting general sanity. He spent many years studying mental illness and it's possible semantic causes and treatment while preparing his theory. In short, there is nothing he would have liked better than to have his work subjected to the usual criticisms of other scientific theories. Take physics, for example. What is the definition of an electron? Do you imagine a physicist cares about that? He only care about the measurable relations he can make during interactions with said electrons. But in Philosophy, definitions take center stage and people argue for centuries about the proper definition. This is, in fact, an example of unsanity, according to general semantics.

Here is a passage from S&S;
In this analysis the 'philosophers' have been omitted. This is because they
require a special treatment. As an historical fact, many 'philosophers' have played
an important and, to be frank, sinister role in history. At the bottom of any historical
trend, we find a certain 'philosophy', a structural implication cleverly formulated by
some 'philosopher'. The reader of this work will later find that most 'philosophers'
gamble on multiordinal and elementalistic terms, which have no definite single (one-valued)
meaning, and so, by cleverness in twisting, can be made to appear to mean anything
desired. It is now no mystery that some quite influential 'philosophers' were
'mentally' ill. Some 'mentally' ill persons are tremendously clever in the
manipulation of words and can sometimes deceive even trained specialists. Among
the clever concoctions which appear in history as 'philosophic' systems, we can find
flatly opposing doctrines. Therefore, it has not been difficult at any period for the
rulers to select a cleverly constructed doctrine perfectly fitting the ends they desired.
Notice he says 'many', not all philosophers. I'm sure you can understand that not all Germans are Nazis, for example. Now why is it necessary that I read Bertram Russell just because Korzybski is indebted to him? Do I need to read Newton as well because many physicists and mathematicians are indebted to him?

Popular Science Magazine has a brief article about how *Time* seems stretched out when you are falling to your death. "My whole life flashed in front of my eyes!" They have a guy hooked up and trace his brain patterns by simulating a fall to your death during a long free fall into a net.
I have heard it said that Time is how we consciously experience causality and it is actually not an existent.
Semper cogitans fidele,
I'm not sure that "not an existent" is the best way to describe it but if I may try to translate into words what math/physics tells us and that's the distinction between space and time is just a matter of perspective. The concepts are intrinsically connected. Like we experience "width" in relation to height and length - just change your perspective and they're interchangeable and so the width/height/length distinction doesn't really mean much at all.
Same thing with space and time - it's all just spacetime. We only "think" time is special because of our human perspective.
The "Goddess of the Market" which I just received in the mail states at the beginning that Rand sought to destroy all philosophical justifications for totalitarianism, especially *altruism*.
I am really interested in the justification of this statement. I came to this conclusion or at least strong suspicion that this motivation was indeed at the true top of her value system and that truth and rationality consistently took a back seat. I do not know this to be true. Can you elaborate a little? It seems to me to be the simplest explanation of why an intelligent person would make such obvious mistakes and then never correct them.

You ask: "So how to communicate concepts without language?
Perhaps one way is to show and tell."
Yeah, if asked to communicate "altruism", I would point towards 'The Virtue of Selfishness', and 'The Fountainhead'.
Which is why I insist that Rand was an expert 'illustrator', along with a masterful logical-structure builder.
Doesn't it make sense to you that the first, most important objective is to 'communicate' said concept to yourself?
Only as a secondary, to be able to communicate to others.
I've also been turning this round a long time, and one conclusion I've drawn is that in the hands of a brilliant writer, one leaps directly to the concept being indicated. Naturally words were utilised; but these are simple, readily comprehensible words.
Significantly, what remains is a 'picture' of the concept.
This picture, when applied to one's experience, becomes clearer as time goes by - until one starts discovering one's own words to describe it.
The transition (continuum?) between word and concept, and vice-versa, gets smoother with practice and integration.
Sorry if I don't explain this very well.
BTW, as an example, you may find it valuable to check out excerpts from Rand's writings on "sacrifice" in The Ayn Rand Lexicon, as I did recently. After all this time I'm still in awe
of the lady. When she was good, she was very, very good...

If that's what she meant then we should looking for tautological arguments within her system.
I didn't say that you should read some of the great philosophers because your guru was indebted to them. I said you "should be able to learn something" from them, just as Korzybski did. If you don't care to learn anything other than what you have assimilated from Korzybski, then I don't suppose you have a good reason -- but in that case, you must substitute Korzybski's opinion about the supposedly sinister influence of "many philosophers" for an informed judgment of your own. (The parallels here to Randian true believers are obvious and rather creepy.)
As for Korzybski's statement about some unnamed philosophers being "mentally ill," this is simply psychobabble of the highest order. I never cared for Rand's proclivity to dub philosophers she didn't like (e.g., Kant) as evil, but she is a model of objectivity in comparison to Korzybski.
How would you react if someone said that Korzybski was mentally ill and therefore not worth reading? Would you regard this as a legitimate criticism? Would you argue that Korzybski was not in fact mentally ill and is therefore worth reading? No, of course not -- or at least I hope not. You would, I hope, reject this tactic as an irrelevant and ludicrous ad hominem.
Lastly, your comparison of reading early scientists, such as Newton, to reading early philosophers once again reveals your profound ignorance of the difference between the natural sciences and philosophy.

Ah, I meant to write "to show" not "to show and tell." Obviously, if you "tell" you're using language.
I think your comments are generally correct. I'd say it's less about being a "brilliant" writer than trying to be a clear writer -- and the latter probably has to do with thinking styles or with one's general approach to these things and with the usual problems with clear writing, such as considering one's likely audience, what one is trying to get across, potential objections and confusions... those sorts of things.
How would you react if someone said that Korzybski was mentally ill and therefore not worth reading? Would you regard this as a legitimate criticism?
If the person who said this actually knew something about mental illness then, yes, I would regard this as legitimate criticism.
I'm quite aware of the difference - philosophy is mostly a symptom of mental illness. I guess that's sort of a thorn in your side, eh? Seeing how you have made a career out of it?
Minor quibble: While I generally agree here, reading Newton and other early scientists is, in my view, a profitable undertaking -- even for the budding or current scientist. I think it not only gives perspective -- especially good because one thing I've noticed in the natural sciences is forgetting past insights, theories, and data; and a cycling of erroneous views in some cases simply because those proposing a new theory are not much aware of the history of the field -- but because also some of the classics of science, such as Newton's Principia are models of good method. (This is perhaps a case for reading some of the classics and not every last article or scrap written by every natural scientist since Newton's time. Of course, sometimes discovery in science is rediscovery. A recent example comes to mind. Clive Finlayson notes in his The Humans Who Went Extinct: Why Neanderthals Died Out and We Survived that wild macaques in Burma were noted to used stones to open shellfish back in, if my memory's correct, the early 19th century. The behavior was rediscovered recently in Thailand after the 2004 Tsunami. Had more people been paying attention to the older observations it wouldn't have come as much of a surprise -- and perhaps the whole slew of recent discoveries that humans are hardly the only tool users would have been part of the conventional wisdom decades ago...)
Bob_ Mac "It's a little thing called a "Gene".
Evolutionary psychology (PE) is a pseudoscience. It has so many philosophical and scientific flaws that I don't really have time or desire to discuss all of them. However I have to mention at least one objection to PE which relates to our topic.
We're talking ethics here. Ethics or morals are code of values accepted by choice. Biological or gene determinism effectively eliminates Free Will, mind and therefore morals as such. The organisms which their only purpose is to transfer genes don't need any ethics. Animals do just fine without to define "good" and "bad". So if you view people as procreating living machines, don't bother yourself with ethical problems.
Just because there are some questionable and speculative EP ideas doesn't mean that gene-centric behaviour is questionable. These ideas (the ones I speak of) are mainstream evolutionary thought, hardly fringe. Your response only serves to clarify your profound ignorance of science. I have no problem with the criticism of specific ideas, but for a so-called "rational" person to believe that our behavioral traits didn't evolve right along with our physical ones is beyond my comprehension.
"It has so many philosophical and scientific flaws "
I always find it amusing that when evidence suggests a philosophical premise error, then the science that found it must have a philosophical flaw.
"The organisms which their only purpose is to transfer genes don't need any ethics."
Wrong again. What if ethics in our cognitive niche is advantageous to the reproduction and survival of our genes?
"So if you view people as procreating living machines, don't bother yourself with ethical problems."
If you believe otherwise, don't bother yourself with reality.
I only can repeat that the notion of biological determinism abnegates the concept of free will, mind and morals. If science fails to make a distinction between man and animal, if it substitutes man's conceptual behavior by reproductive drive, then such a "science" contradicts everything known about man as rational being and cannot be taken seriously. Moreover, I think that PE is simply another version of collectivism/altruism in scientific disguise. In the nutshell it claims that man's life belongs to the future generations, and the only ultimate purpose of his life is a transfer of genes which becomes the standard of value. It advocates biological egoism and social altruism. As Richard Dowkins, PE guru and self-proclaimed altruist wrote "I shall argue that a predominant quality to be expected in a successful gene transfer is ruthless egoism...let us try to teach generosity and altruism because we all born selfish". But even he said "I'm not advocating a morality based on evolution" (The Selfish Gene pg2-3). If you're happy to accept as reality the situation which reduces man to the status of the stud-horse and call PE "science" instead BS, then it's your choice. But don't fool yourself by idea, that such a "reality" has anything to do with man and morals.
"I only can repeat that the notion of biological determinism abnegates the concept of free will, mind and morals."
Evolutionary Behavioural Development != Biological Determinism
"If science fails to make a distinction between man and animal, if it substitutes man's conceptual behavior by reproductive drive, then such a "science" contradicts everything known about man as rational being and cannot be taken seriously."
Man is an animal, a rational animal that occupies a unique cognitive niche. Yet another false dichotomy.
"Moreover, I think that PE is simply another version of collectivism/altruism in scientific disguise. In the nutshell it claims that man's life belongs to the future generations, and the only ultimate purpose of his life is a transfer of genes which becomes the standard of value."
Nobody is forcing you to adopt this standard of value. Do what you want, but this IS how we were built and therefore is the most reasonable, rational "qua" man standard of value - by far. More importanly though, this is mainstream evolutionary theory. I'm actually explaining to someone - in 2010 - the rock-bottom genetic basis of evolutionary fundamentals. Did you attend high school, or are you 170 years old? Seriously, WTF?
"As Richard Dowkins, PE guru and self-proclaimed altruist wrote "I shall argue that a predominant quality to be expected in a successful gene transfer is ruthless egoism"
Sometimes, but the extension to this is that after the transfer happens, ensuring genetic survival (and subsequent reproduction) would without question involve altruism. Remember, reproduction is just one part of the picture. Survival of offspring is also critical. Some animals have evolved pure numbers-based strategies like insects, but we must invest and care a great deal for our offspring at a substantial cost. I suppose it's just a coincidence that youth/teenagers are extremely selfish and self-centred on the whole. Just pure coincidence eh? Just happenstance that families are extremely cohesive and this is where we see the most altruistic behaviour? Just pure chance that mothers are, on the whole, extraordinarily dedicated to their children. Let's see, only about a billion other behaviours that fit the gene-centric model. Does coincidence become evidence at a million, billion? What?
Without having read a great deal of philosophy works, how would you know that?
Then it appears you don't understand logical reasoning and need to consider that without such an understanding all else is off the table. (No jab at Korzybski. I actually am interested in him, especially as his ideas relate to Austrian and Polish philosophy.)
Edited March 25, 2010 by Dan Ust
Are you serious? Or is this some kind of joke?
Based on what I have read I am inferring that.
Perhaps you could share some examples... and would you be specific as to what you mean by "mental illness" -- which seems, to me, to be an extremely vague concept?
merjet
I'm only interested in valid and sound reasoning.
Does that mean you never make logical inferences from a hypothesis/premise that you haven't verified is true? After all, your conclusion may be unsound. Regardless, it is something you do often enough on OL.
This leads me to believe someone's interests change depending on the needs for oneupping in a particular discussion.
Bob Mac responded:
I may have a chance to start reading the book again this evening, because when I read that I stopped and don't remember any further explanation from the author.
Bob, there is a charitable "other" explanation, that truth and rationality did not take a back seat, but were always part of her thinking. Her emotional repugnance towards altruism was a "sense of life feeling," backed up by her emerging philosophy.
Her obvious mistakes that she would not acknowledge were regrettable.
A few off the top of my head: her stance on the unacceptability of a female president, and her stance on the gay life style. Glorifying Smoking and then not putting a caveat into Atlas Shrugged about smoking after she was diagnosed with lung cancer. Her affair with Nathaniel and her treatment of Barbara Branden. Her cultivation of a cult governing a philosophy that values each individuals' reason over all. Passing "moral judgment" on a host of people and shunning them.
I will get back to you on the "Goddess" book.
I just have one question: Who is going to settle the debate next?
This thread is in desperate need of a facilitator.
Who knows, maybe the idea that it can be resolved is a bit altruistic???
Edited March 25, 2010 by Panoptic
I find that her "Objective" ethics that outline the moral code of a good Objectivist are fundamentally based on man's life qua man and the "qua" part simply means a good Objectivist. That's about as tautological as you're gonna get.

Interests:history, classic literature, classical music and opera, philosophy and religion
I wouldn't say that the faults are tautological per se (except for the famous incipit--"Existence exists"--which not even Plato nor Kant denied).
But the key point of Objectivism rests not on any logical argument, nor any argument from facts, but simple assertion: that man's nature is that of being a rational and productive being ("man qua man"). That's really stating an ubervalue, so to speak: the basic and foundational value principle from which all others flow. Nothing in the universe dictates this foundational value as being the only possible choice, and it is possible to construct other value systems based on different ideas of what man "qua man" might be. Nor is the choice of survival as the principle on which to decide what is and is not moral as brilliant as it seems. In the end, we are all going to die, and if survival is your guiding light, then your efforts are ultimately doomed; all you can do is stave off the inevitable for as long as possible. Probably heroic, but ultimately futile, and what is ultimately futile can not be ultimately valuable.

The Motorsports Association of India (MAI) was the national sporting authority (ASN) of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) in India for a period between 2000 and 2008. It was the association responsible for the control and promotion of motorsport in India under the International Sporting Code of the FIA for a few years. The current ASN is Federation of Motor Sports Clubs in India (FMSCI). MAI was a rival body formed by Nazir Hoosein.

The MAI was also a member of the Commission Internationale de Karting (CIK), the commission of the FIA that deals with world karting and runs the Indian National Rally Championship (INRC), and other karting events.

As the sole recognised body of the FIA and CIK, the MAI was the only authority permitted to issue FIA licences for all levels of motorsport in India during that period.

The MAI was formed as a rival body to the Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India, which was also represented at the FIA and regained full control of motorsport after the MAI was disestablished in 2008. In December 2013, FIA removed MAI from its rolls of any membership or association.

A new animation has been created to answer questions about the use of patient data by UK universities, researchers and scientists.
Produced in collaboration with patients and members of the public by Connected Health Cities and The Farr Institute of Health Informatics Research, the 3 minute animated film has been designed to increase public awareness of how routinely collected NHS data is safely and securely re-used by universities for health research.
The animation takes viewers on a journey to understand how patient data is created and shared and the important role it plays in research to improve the health of patients and populations. Examples are highlighted with relevant case studies and the measures that universities must take to ensure patient data is protected and accessed is explained.
The animation forms part of the #DataSavesLives campaign that has been supported by Connected Health Cities and The Farr Institute since it was launched by The University of Manchester in 2015. The Cancer Innovation Challenge added its support on its launch in March 2017.
Stephen Melia, Communications Lead at Connected Health Cities (CHC) said: "Over the last four years we've been engaging with patients and members of the public in a variety of ways to highlight the positive re-use of patient data in research. We've found that often people have the same questions and sometimes a lack of understanding about how their data is used and shared to improve health.
The animation can be viewed at www.datasaveslives.info.
The Farr Institute is a UK-wide research collaboration involving 21 academic institutions and health partners in England, Scotland and Wales. Publically funded by a consortium of ten organisations led by the Medical Research Council, the Institute is committed to delivering high-quality, cutting-edge research using 'big data' to advance the health and care of patients and the public.

Chuck Barrett is an American author that is responsible for the Jake Pendleton series. Chuck was late to the writing game but it didn't take him long to make his mark in the international thriller genre.
There isn't much to Chuck Barrett, or so he would tell you. The author graduated from Auburn University. He also worked as an air traffic controller. Chuck has certificates for both commercial piloting and flight instruction, not to mention a Dive Master rating.
His hobbies compel him to spend a lot of time outdoors. When Chuck isn't fishing, then you will find him hiking. Though most people care more about Chuck Barrett's writing activities than they do his hobbies.
The author was 41-years-old when he started writing. That was in 1998. Chuck doesn't know what compelled him to sit down and write. From what he can tell, writing felt like something he needed to do, or else he would never feel contented.
The author draws his ideas from life. Sometimes a newspaper headline will pique his interest. Other times, a television news report will spark an idea, or a discussion with friends, family, and acquaintances.
The author's first novel was 'The Savannah Project'. It was published in 2010 and Chuck was surprised by how easily and effortlessly the idea for the book came to him. At the time, Chuck remembers taking the time to meticulously outline the book.
And he did his best to stick to that outline, making certain that the final product mirrored the idea that had taken shape in his mind months earlier. With the success of book one, Chuck Barrett knew he had to produce a sequel.
But for a long while, he had no idea what to put in Book 2. On one occasion, the author and his wife went to Utah on a trip. Chuck remembers them stopping by Moab in the afternoon and meeting an older couple with whom they engaged in conversation.
Things evolved relatively quickly and it wasn't long before both couples were fast friends. They decided to move their conversation to a Mexican Restaurant nearby. Over the course of the evening, the older gentleman revealed that he was in the radio frequency and microwave emission technology business.
Essentially, the man made the gadgets that spies used on missions. And as he heard him talk, the concept for his second novel took shape in Chuck's brain. The author wrote that second book by the seat of his pants.
He remembers immensely enjoying the process, though the manuscript that took shape was quite disorganized and he was forced to engage in lengthy editing sessions. The experience taught him that he was better off combining the pantser and outlining approaches to writing.
Besides that, Chuck Barrett realized just how rich and inspirational life could be. He also realized that there was no shortage of novels for him to write, so long as he kept a close eye out on the goings-on around him and paid a keener interest in the newspaper headlines.
Chuck doesn't do daily writing routines, though. He writes when the mood strikes him. The author sees no point in forcing himself to produce stilted prose and dialogue when his creative juices have clearly dried up.
That being said, Chuck never lets himself go for too long without writing. If it seems like the breaks between his writing sessions have grown too long and the creative juices have still refused to flow, he will read. That always gets him back on track and it isn't long before he's at his table churning out new pages.
Chuck loves encouraging aspiring writers. However, he always compels them to think carefully before engaging the publishing industry because it isn't for the faint-hearted. As fun as the writing aspect can get, the real work starts afterward, where one reaches out, makes connections and markets their book until they achieve the sales figures necessary to justify their effort.
Chuck Barrett spends a lot of time on social media. Despite his age, the author has a great following on Twitter. And once he publishes a new book, the platform helps him reach new readers.
Interestingly enough, as effective as social media has been for Chuck, he prefers pursuing marketing tools that allow him to directly communicate with his readers. As such, one shouldn't be too surprised to find him at conferences and conventions and even book signings.
An aircraft accident in Savannah, Georgia on St. Patrick's Day does not set off alarm bells in the beginning, primarily because everyone would rather believe that they're dealing with a run-of-the-mill occurrence.
Jake Pendleton, an NTBS Investigator knows better and he isn't one to tread lightly. Aided in his work by an air traffic controller called Gregg Kaplan, Jake's investigation initiates a series of violent events.
The Savannah Project is the first novel in the Jake Pendleton Series. The thriller tells the story of an NTSB investigator that goes to Savannah to look into an air crash. The preliminary inquiry initially suggests to Jake that he might be dealing with an ordinary mishap.
But then he takes a closer look and realizes that a number of people are starting to die and their murders could be connected to the air crash. When Jake realizes that he might be a killer's next target, he brings the issue to his boss, suggesting that the air crash was no accident.
The boss in question dismisses Jake's suggestions, forcing him to forge his own path to the truth.
Jake Pendleton is back. And this time he must work with Gregg Kaplan to locate a fellow agent in Yemen and rescue him from his captors. The mission goes sideways and Jake is forced to make the hardest decision of his life.
The Toymaker is Chuck Barrett's second novel and the sequel to 'The Savannah project'. The book picks up with Jake Pendleton as he undergoes an unexpected alteration in his career.
After years spent protecting the United States, Jake has started to lose his head. He keeps letting his temper get the best of him. As such, his superiors decide to assign him a new mentor in the form of a man that makes gadgets for spies.

Mar 16, 2012 - Electrochemical capacitors (ECs), also known as supercapacitors or ultracapacitors, differ from regular capacitors that you would find in your TV or computer in that they store substantially higher amounts of charges.
Engineers Edge - They have garnered attention as energy storage devices as they charge and discharge faster than batteries, yet they are still limited by low energy densities, only a fraction of the energy density of batteries. An EC that combines the power performance of capacitors with the high energy density of batteries would represent a significant advance in energy storage technology. This requires new electrodes that not only maintain high conductivity but also provide higher and more accessible surface area than conventional ECs that use activated carbon electrodes.
Now researchers at UCLA have used a standard LightScribe DVD optical drive to produce such electrodes. The electrodes are composed of an expanded network of graphene - a one-atom-thick layer of graphitic carbon - that shows excellent mechanical and electrical properties as well as exceptionally high surface area.
The process is based on coating a DVD disc with a film of graphite oxide that is then laser treated inside a LightScribe DVD drive to produce graphene electrodes. Typically, the performance of energy storage devices is evaluated by two main figures, the energy density and power density. Suppose we are using the device to run an electric car - the energy density tells us how far the car can go a single charge whereas the power density tells us how fast the car can go. Here, devices made with Laser Scribed Graphene (LSG) electrodes exhibit ultrahigh energy density values in different electrolytes while maintaining the high power density and excellent cycle stability of ECs. Moreover, these ECs maintain excellent electrochemical attributes under high mechanical stress and thus hold promise for high power, flexible electronics.

First, make sure you buy the correct size of tires. Check on the side of your tire for the size number, and if you don't find it, check online to find the type of tire your tractor model takes. Finally, you can always find out the size you need from a tractor or tire dealer. Even if you do know the size of tire you need, it is a good idea to visit a tire or farm equipment store simply to talk to the staff and find out what is out there. Equipped with the knowledge from the associates, you will better know what brands and deals are reliable when you find them online. Otherwise, reading forums or emailing your tractor's company with questions will help you make sure you buy the right tires. Different tires are made for different terrains and the wrong tires will be destroyed quickly so make sure you check the type of terrain that the tires are made for. Also, determine your specific needs. Know which load rating you need, and be aware that there are two forms of describing tractor tire size, the standard and metric forms of tire measurement. Looking up these two different types of tire measurement with a search engine will help you understand size and usage codes.
Buying used tires is not generally recommended, and if you buy them online, you cannot check the tires over for wear. If you buy used tires, simply cover a few bases. If you are able to see the tire before purchase, check treads and sidewalls for wear. Also, make sure that the seller has high ratings.
If possible, buy new tires with at least a one year warranty. Though these cost more, but they are more reliable and will last longer. Also, to save money on new tires, try to buy wholesale. Since you will probably need at least four tires anyway, look into package prices. Now that you've done your homework, you can buy your tires! Online sellers will accept credit card, check, or Pay Pal, and most will ship the tires directly to your door. When they arrive, installation instructions can be found through a search engine.

Bassem Tamimi (also Bassem al-Tamimi, , born c. 1967) is a Palestinian grassroots activist and an organizer of protests against Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank. He was convicted by an Israeli military court in 2012 (after being arrested in 2011) for "sending people to throw stones, and holding a march without a permit".

In his West Bank village Nabi Salih, Tamimi organizes weekly demonstrations against Israeli settlement. He has been arrested by the Israeli authorities over a dozen times, at one point spending more than three years in administrative detention without trial. Tamimi has said that he advocates grassroots, nonviolent resistance, but has also said that stone-throwing is an important symbol of Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation. His 2011 arrest drew international attention, with the European Union describing him as a human rights defender, and Amnesty International designating him a prisoner of conscience. He was arrested again in October 2012 for a demonstration in a supermarket, but released in early 2013.

He is the father of Ahed Tamimi, who was sentenced to eight months in prison  under a plea bargain in 2018.

Background
Tamimi was ten weeks old at the time of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank in June 1967 and hid with his mother in a cave during the conflict. As a grassroots activist, he organized weekly demonstrations to protest the seizure of the village's well by the nearby Israeli settlement of Halamish, established in 1977. The protests regularly lead to violent clashes, with Palestinian youths throwing stones and Israeli forces firing on protesters with tear gas, rubber bullets, and water cannons. Since the end of 2009, 64 people (13% of the village's population) has been arrested.

Prior to his 2011 arrest, Tamimi had been arrested by Israeli authorities eleven times, at one point spending more than three years in administrative detention without trial. In 1993, he lost consciousness for eight days after being shaken during an interrogation, and required surgery for removal of a subdural haematoma. His home has also been designated for demolition by Israel's Civil Administration.

Tamimi is an admirer of Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi and believes that armed conflict against a more powerful Israeli opponent will only bring disaster. Tamimi states that he advocates nonviolent resistance, telling a reporter in 2011, "Our strategic choice of a popular struggle—as a means to fight the occupation taking over our lands, lives and future—is a declaration that we do not harm human lives. The very essence of our activity opposes killing." However, he has stated he is not concerned as to whether stone-throwing is a form of violence, but views it instead as a symbol of Palestinian resistance: "We see our stones as our message."

March 2011 arrest and trial
On 24 March 2011 Tamimi was detained by Israeli forces following a demonstration. Following his arrest, he was charged with sending youths to throw stones, holding a march without a permit, incitement, and perverting the course of justice.  He was subsequently held in a military prison for thirteen months. Amnesty International designated him a prisoner of conscience, "detained solely for his role in organizing peaceful protests against the encroachment onto Palestinian lands by Israeli settlers," and called for his immediate and unconditional release.

On 27 April 2012 Tamimi was released on 12,000 shekels (US$3,193) bail due to a stroke suffered by his mother two weeks previous. An army prosecutor protested against his release, stating that Tamimi would "most definitely continue to use the status he received because of his arrest to influence young people to throw stones."

Tamimi, during his trial, repeatedly questioned the legitimacy of the Israeli military court trying him as well as Israeli regulations regarding public gatherings. The military judge ultimately found him guilty of sending stone-throwers and illegal protesting but cleared him of the two more serious charges. She stated that testimony from a 14-year-old witness had been inconsistent and therefore unusable and that she had found misrepresentations by interrogators about the content of the confession of another witness. Israeli activist Jonathan Pollak described Tamimi's partial exoneration as a "miracle" given the 99.74 percent conviction rate of the military court. Before his sentencing Tamimi stated that "the laws come from an occupying regime whose legitimacy I do not recognise. I don't think even for a single minute that there is going to be justice done." His lawyer denied Tamimi's involvement in stone throwing, stating that Tamimi believed in passive resistance.

On 29 May, Tamimi was sentenced to time served of thirteen months' imprisonment, and an additional two suspended sentences. A military spokeswoman stated that the sentence had been suspended due to "irregularities in the trial" and Tamimi's "clean prison record". Under the terms of Tamimi's suspended sentences, he would be imprisoned for two months if he participated in an illegal demonstration within two years of the sentencing, and imprisoned for seven months if he participated in "activity against the security forces" within five years. Responding to the suspended sentences, Tamimi said, "I feel that my whole life is under the surveillance of the judge."

Catherine Ashton, the European Union High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, expressed the EU's concern over the conviction and called on Israel to allow peaceful protests. She also condemned the interrogation of a minor without a lawyer in the investigation as a "violation of his rights." Human Rights Watch stated that the conviction "violates [Tamimi's] right to freedom of assembly, while [the court's] conviction of him on a second charge of urging children to throw stones on the basis of a child's coercively-obtained statement raises serious concerns about the fairness of his trial."

October 2012 arrest
On 24 October, Tamimi joined 80 other activists, both Palestinian and international, in a protest at a Rami Levy supermarket in the West Bank just north of Jerusalem. The activists carried banners reading "Boycott occupation and its products." Tamimi was arrested during the protest, which the Israeli police called "an illegal demonstration." Amnesty International again described him as a prisoner of conscience, stating "Once again, Bassem Tamimi is being held solely for peacefully exercising his rights to freedom of expression and assembly." He was released in early 2013.

On 2 November, his sixteen-year-old son Wa'ed Tamimi was also arrested during one of the weekly demonstrations in Nabi Salih. The charges against him were dismissed by a judge two weeks later.

Activism 2013-present
In 2015, the Anti-Defamation League condemned a post (since deleted) by Tamimi on social media, where he allegedly spread the false myth of the Israel harvesting the organs of Palestinian children.

In December, 2017, Tamimi's 16 year old daughter, Ahed Tamimi was seen in a viral video  pushing, punching and kicking Israeli soldiers, following their cousin being shot in the face with a rubber bullet and being put into an induced coma.  The next day, she was arrested for the first time by the Israeli army, in a pre-dawn raid on their home in Nabi Salih. Later in the day, Ahad's mother Nariman was allegedly arrested too when visiting her daughter at a police station.
In the wake of the incident, Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett declared that the young women involved "should finish their lives in prison".

Personal life
Tamimi has a wife, Nariman, and four children. The Tamimis say they were a Christian family, who became Muslim before they came to Nabi Salih (from Hebron) 300-400 years ago. In 2012, a photograph of his daughter Ahed shaking her fist at an Israeli soldier became internationally famous, and she received the Handala Courage award in Istanbul meeting that Turkey's prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

In 1993, Tamimi's sister, Bassama Tamimi died while attending his remand hearing at the military court in Ramallah, allegedly after she was pushed down a flight of stairs by an Israeli army interpreter. Bassem's cousin Rushdi Muhammed Sa'id Tamimi was convicted of the October 1993 murder of Haim Mizrahi, a settler from Beit El, he was released in 2013. Bassem was arrested and reportedly tortured. In December 2011, Tamimi's cousin Mustafa Tamimi was killed by a direct hit from a gas grenade fired at close range.
In November 2012, Tamimi's brother-in-law Rushdi Tamimi was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers.

Want to surprise your teen with a car this holiday season? Make sure you choose the right car for their needs.
If you think it's time for your teen to have their own car, then it's important that you select the right vehicle for them. The thought of your teen behind the wheel can be a scary one, but choosing a car that's easy to handle and has the right safety features can give you a little peace of mind. Here are some things to consider as you shop around.
While big, heavy cars can be more difficult to handle, they generally perform better in crash tests than smaller vehicles. However, you must also take into account that larger vehicles offer poor fuel economy, allow for more distractions (i.e. passengers), and can be more difficult to park.
Generally speaking, you should avoid getting your teen a sports car or a car with an overly powerful engine. While your teen might favor these faster vehicles, they are much more dangerous to drive.
Deciding between a new or used car for your teen is a personal decision. Keep in mind that newer cars tend to have upgraded safety features and can be more reliable. However, new cars are obviously more expensive than used cars. Because teens are more likely to get into an accident than any other drivers, you might want to avoid spending a ton of money on a car for your teen driver. Keep in mind that while used cars are more affordable at the outset, they are more likely to require expensive maintenance costs than a new car.
Though the color of a car might not seem that important, many drivers believe that the color of their car can affect their accident rates. Black or dark colored cars are notoriously hard to see at night or in other dark driving conditions. Silver and grey cars are generally a safe choice, but can be difficult to see in cloudy or foggy conditions. Many people believe white cars and brightly colored cars (yellow, orange, etc.) to be the most visible and therefore the least likely to get into an accident.
Keep these things in mind as you're shopping for a car for your teen driver. Once you make your selection, make sure that your teen and their new ride have the protection they need. To find the right auto insurance policy for your teen, contact the team at Desert Empire Insurance Services, Inc. in Palm Desert, California. We are always ready to assist you with your insurance needs.

Starting a business and become your boss is a great achievement in one's life. Many people have the passion, ability and the desire to start their businesses, but they don't have the skills to develop a business plan. It is easy to have profitable business ideas, but putting those ideas to paper and come up with a quality business plan have been a hurdle to many investors. A business plan gives a brief description of the outlook for the firm.
Business people must have a plan of activities to help them understand the nature of the firm, market and daily operations, which are important factors for the growth of the enterprise. The business plan also provides a detail financial plans and future growth of the company. It is important to develop a business plan that will help you secure funding from banks or other investors. It is very hard for one to come up with a proper business plan. In this article, I will stipulate three tricks to business plan writing.
1. Professional Business Plan Services: Consider business plan writing agencies that will help you put your business ideas into shape. The writing companies have the skill and experts in all fields of business, and they have unique ways of developing business. The staffs work closely with the customers and use the first- hand knowledge of many industry skills to write the attractive business plan.
2. Writing a Business Plan: The best thing does when writing a business plan is to pause and brainstorm all ideas of activity and come up with many strategies that will help your business to take off. Make sure that your program of activities is appealing, unique and state the values of the company to the potential customers.
3. Get the Best Business Plan Writers: It is also necessary to get support from other people who can help you write a better business proposal plan. You may consider seeking support from undergraduate and graduates who have undertaken the course on how to prepare business plans.

Whale Shark Research, Photography & Coral Reefs – Mafia Island
Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) are the biggest fishes in the sea reaching up to 20 meters in length. The opportunity to interact with these gentle giants and assist in their research is a humbling and awe-inspiring experience. At the enchanting Mafia Island off the coast of Tanzania, you can join our whale shark research team which includes one of the world's leading whale shark experts, Dr Chris Rohner; and Aqua-Firma director & photographer, Ralph Pannell.
Researchers have been monitoring whale sharks for several years now off the west coast of Mafia Island and peak sightings are usually achieved towards the end of November and beginning of December. This is when we operate these trips, anticipating the opportunity to be in the in the water with several sharks at once. We also often see two or three whale sharks as we fly into and out of the island during this peak period.
Whilst we find whale sharks off the western coast of Mafia Island, on the east we find some of Africa's healthiest and most diverse coral reefs. The area is very tidal, but we time these trips in order to be able to include two optional comprehensive coral reef programmes: one for scuba divers and one for snorkelers. These programmes are within Mafia Island's 821 square kilometer Marine Protected Area, which is afforded complete protection from fishing. This means that you can be amongst some incredibly healthy fish life. You can find yourself eyeball to eyeball with large numbers of huge groupers and snappers, which in other coral reef locations around the world would have long been destined for the cooking pot.
In addition to large specimens of fish, the marine park protects an incredible diversity of fish life and marine ecosystems. In Chole Bay and beyond, we can find further excellent hard coral areas, extensive mangrove forests, sponge and soft coral sub-tidal beds and some of the world's best 'muck diving' where we find frogfish, seahorses and lots more. This variety encourages more than 400 species of fish to reside here, 400 types of sponges, 200 types of algae and habitat for Green & Hawksbill Turtles. Mafia Island is an important breeding ground for small fish and larvae, and plankton which is what encourages the interest of whale sharks.
Exceptional Photographic Opportunities
Opportunities for underwater photography are excellent on this trip. Your challenge will be to make use of the diverse range of opportunities presented: from giant whale sharks, to vast schools of fish, cover reef scenery to the most colourful specimens of nudibranchs and flatworms. From the simplest camera to the largest get up, charge your batteries and bring ample digital storage - our expert photography team can help you from the moment you book, to editing your well-earned images to perfection!
Mafia Island itself has a beautiful coastline, combining palm fringed beaches, hard coral islets with extensive areas of mangrove; and white sand islands exposed at low tide. You can feel very detached here from mainland Africa, amongst lovely islanders whose dhow sailing boats paint a beautiful picture against the island's varied coastline.
Privileged Insights
Chris, Principal Scientist of the Marine Megafauna Foundation, conducted his PhD at Mafia Island, working out what they feed on and where these sharks move, both seasonally and throughout the day. Satellite tags placed on sharks here and elsewhere in the Indian Ocean was highly revealing as to whether Mafia's sharks mixed with other regional populations. Perhaps the most revealing was a system of tags picked up by a network of underwater acoustic sensors.
Throughout this trip, you will have as much time as you like to ask any question that comes to mind. The team will also conduct talks, taking you into the fascinating world of whale shark biology and their conservation status around the globe. In joining this trip, you will be helping to fund this research, with donations helping to achieve expansion of marine protected areas; satellite tagging to monitor global movements; high-level lobbying to protect them from fishing; and working with local fishermen to reduce intentional and accidental catch.
Try Dive & Learn to Dive
If you want to try scuba diving for the first time, this is an ideal trip to do this on. We can set up one or two Try Dives in calm shallow water, so that you can see how you like it. If you want to take it further then we can help you to progress.
If you decide before going that you want to become a qualified diver, or convert a basic certification to Advanced, then speak to one of Aqua-Firma's instructors about how we can integrate this into your trip. To minimise classroom time, we can start your theory online before you go.
If you would like to see more of Tanzania's coral reefs, we can also arrange extensions to Zanzibar and Pemba.
Above Water Safaris
To experience the best of Africa's marine life and terrestrial wildlife, you can consider joining one of our private and small group safaris before or after this trip to go in search of The Great Migration. The Great Migration brings more than a million grazing wildebeest, plains zebras and Thompsons gazelles into the Serengeti, where we can also hope to see leopards, cheetahs, lions, hyenas, elephants, hippos, buffalo and more in huge abundance. This safari also goes in search of tree climbing lions and monkeys of Lake Manyara; and the bountiful wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater where black rhino are always part of what we hope to see.
Please note that actual schedule of whale shark outings and opportunities to dive will change for each trip, optimized to fit in with tide times
Day 1: Arrive in Zanzibar
You will be met upon arrival and transferred to a boutique hotel in the historic centre of Stone Town. This is a wonderful location to explore, with its winding streets and buildings constructed during the Arabian colonial period.
There will be an evening briefing by a member of our Whale Shark Research Team.
Day 2: Fly to Mafia Island
After an early breakfast, we will head to the airport and take a small plane flight to Mafia Island.
Fly Zanzibar to Mafia Island. There are some great views of the Rufiji River on this flight as well as the many small islands which lie between the river mouth and Mafia. If seas are not reflecting the sunshine, then we might be able to see whale sharks in the water beneath us as we flight into Mafia.
Mafia Island's airport is very small. We will transfer to a vehicle and take the newly tarmaced road across the dry and sandy island centre to the south east coast.
Whether on coral reefs, or in search of whale sharks, we will head out to sea this afternoon.
(B,L,D)
Days 3 - 7: Mafia Island
Across these busy 5 days, we will head out to sea in search of whale sharks, with optional coral reef diving and snorkeling timed to coincide with slack tide.
When we head out in search of whale sharks, travel and research combined usually takes about 5 hours.
There will also be an opportunity to visit villages and giant fruit bat roosts on Mafia Island; and nearby Chole Island, where we can also find the ruins of a former German colonial administration.
The coast of Mafia Island is also a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the view of a passing sailing dhow. If you would like to try your hand at sailing one of these, then this is also something we can arrange.
Some evenings, we will conduct talks on the marine biology of whale sharks, as well as an analysis of whale shark research findings on Mafia Island; and an introduction to whale shark research from the Galapagos, Mexico and elsewhere. If ever you would like advice on whale shark and coral reef photography, just ask.
The team will be feeding whale shark IDs taken on this trip, into software originally designed for NASA star identification. Our research team will provide an overview of how this works and what it can tell us about the sharks we see at Mafia Island.
All meals are included.
Day 8: Mafia Island
We will head out early today, for our fifth search for whale sharks.
Day 9: Return to Zanzibar
We will fly back to Zanzibar (or Dar es Salaam if you prefer) from where you can connect with evening international flights. An additional night in Zanzibar or Dar es Salaam can be organized at extra cost if you need.

Mar 05, 2017· Noise is part of the experience of a marble machine. Not a bug but a feature! I used to have a small one as a child with tuned metal steps that rang like a bell.
And one more thing, a marble machine, for a long time I thinking about building that miracle, I'm sure that the time comes for that. OTHER Many of my projects created over the years do not have any documentation, maybe a single photos but in most there is nothing.
A marble is a small round ball of glass, porcelain, baked clay, stone or steel. It is frequently used in a competitive children's game in which a player scores points by knocking a marble out of a circle.
This is a LEGO GBC (Great Ball Contraption) Module. Its purpose is to move the LEGO soccer balls and basketballs from one place to the other. This is a "Archimedes machine".

This post will give you a few tips and ideas to make your own complicated machine. This project has long been on my to-do list with my kids. We are long-time fans of marble runs (see the resources page for recommendations), and extending our love for rolling balls and ramps into the world of Rube Goldberg was a no-brainer.

Look at them and begin thinking of ideas for your simple marble machine layout. Sketch out a plan for your simple marble machine. It will work via gravity so each item will need to angle towards the ground to move the marble.
Welcome to my Marble Machine Kit website. My name is Marcin Saj. ... I also created a website where I share my kits and other ideas. After some time, I tried my hand at crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo but without much success. I gave up for a while and took care of other things.

However, the man in the video has now been identified as Courtney Barnes, and it's not his first foray into television. Barnes appeared as recently as the current season of So You Think You Can Dance, even making it to the Las Vegas finals at one point. In the above clip, Barnes says that he became such a star that he gets recognized everywhere from "the bus station to the funeral home." I'd guess his local news appearance yesterday just added at least 14 minutes back onto his foray into fame, but I don't think anyone would mind if he stuck around longer.

Staff Attorney Pierce Hand Appointed to Mayor's LGBTQ Advisory Board
ASHLEIGH STARNES | November 30, 2020
Our Standing with Our Neighbors Staff Attorney Pierce Hand recently joined Mayor Bottoms' LGBTQ Advisory Board.
The Advisory Board's mission is to "foster intentional collaboration between City Officials and Atlanta's LGBTQ+ communities to advocate for everyone across the Atlanta metro region and protect and advance the lives of residents, workers, and visitors."
Pierce is an Atlanta native who is passionate about tackling serious issues that affect low-income communities in Atlanta, including housing instability and educational inequity. A former educator and a dedicated advocate for Atlanta tenants, Pierce currently works as a Staff Attorney for our Standing with Our Neighbors program – a place-based initiative that provides low-income tenants with free legal advocacy in times of greatest need.
"I wanted to join the advisory board because I am interested in developing creative ways for the City's policies to support LGBTQ youth surrounding issues like housing instability and its negative effect on education outcomes," Pierce says. "These issues disproportionately impact this vulnerable group, and I know my experience as a former teacher and current attorney with AVLF fighting for stable housing that in turn supports the academic success of students of various backgrounds lends itself to creating effective policies."
Please join us in congratulating Pierce!
