Lois Riess pleaded not guilty to charges that she killed her husband in 2018 during her initial court appearance Tuesday in Dodge County and agreed to be held in jail without bail until a pretrial hearing can be set.
Riess, 58, was recently extradited from Florida to Minnesota to face first- and second-degree murder charges in which she is accused of killing her husband, David, in the couple's Blooming Prairie home in March 2018. She also faces theft charges for allegedly forging $11,000 in checks from her husband's business account.
Riess appeared before Judge Jodi Williamson via closed-circuit TV from the Steele County Detention Center, where she has been held since her return to Minnesota on Friday.
No date was set for a pretrial hearing.
Riess was the subject of a nationwide hunt that lasted nearly a month. After she allegedly shot her husband, she went to Fort Myers Beach, Fla., and befriended a woman who had a similar appearance. Riess admitted she later fatally shot Pamela Hutchinson, 59, in her rented condo room and stole her identity.
Riess fled to Texas in Hutchison's car, stopping at casinos in Louisiana on the way. Law enforcement arrested her for Hutchinson's killing in South Padre Island on April 19, 2018.

Lois Riess pleaded guilty to fatally shooting a woman in Florida so she could assume her identity.
In December, Riess pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in Lee County Court and was sentenced to life in prison. With that case closed, Florida officials cleared the way for Riess to be returned to Minnesota to face charges here.

Ah, finally some external validation  for Berkeley's environmental self-righteousness. Nah, we're kidding (mostly), but Berkeley is legitimately one of only 15 universities that received a perfect 99 score in the Princeton Review's second annual "Green Ratings ." According to the Princeton Review people, the ratings were based on schools' "commitment to promoting environmental sustainability, academic preparation for green jobs and support for green building projects." And probably also being the former headquarters of the Secretary of Energy .
Green with envy yet, Harvard? Oh wait, they made the list, too. Well, whatevs, we takes what we can gets.

Oklahoma Adopts Medical Marijuana

Workable medical cannabis programs now legal across 30 states.

Tuesday's primary vote in Oklahoma saw Sooners approve medical marijuana by a 13 point margin at the polls.
With 100 of precincts reporting Wednesday morning, the New York Times reports 506,782 voted in favor of Question 788 legalizing medical marijuana, 384,872 came out in opposition to the ballot initiative.
The law allows those with a forthcoming state issued Oklahoma medical marijuana license to consume legally and has plenty of urgency behind it. NPR affiliate StateImpact got their hands on the working draft of the state's regulations. While the law requires certain things like allowing patients to possess up to 3 ounces on their person and have 8 ounces at home, six mature plants, an ounce of concentrates and 72 ounces of edibles, there is still plenty of room for lawmakers tweak things to their liking as seen in other states.
This first effort at those tweaks came out of five working groups in the form of 63 pages of proposed regulations. Some of the big takeaways StateImpact had included things like the state's plan to ban pregnant women from applying for a medical marijuana license. They also plan on defining things like doctors being required to have a "bonafide" physician-patient relationship with those they are recommending medical marijuana to. These are all subject to be modified during the special legislative session Gov. Mary Fallin said she would convene if the ballot measure passed so lawmakers can finalize the framework for regulating medical marijuana.
Activists are thrilled to see another state that voted in support of Donald Trump come out in favor of medical marijuana. The Marijuana Policy Project noted in a statement on the victory that Question 788 is the fourth medical marijuana initiative in a row to win in a state that went for Donald Trump, "and that number could grow to as many as six by the end of the year. They were approved in Arkansas, Florida, and North Dakota in 2016, and they will appear on ballots in Missouri and Utah this November."
MPP went on to say effective medical marijuana laws have been adopted in 30 states, including Oklahoma, as well as in D.C. and the U.S. territories of Guam and Puerto Rico. They also said 19 other states' medical marijuana laws are ineffective because they are either unworkable or exceptionally restrictive. Idaho is the only state remaining without some kind of medical marijuana law on the books.
"The passage of State Question 788 highlights the strength and diversity of public support for laws allowing the medical use of marijuana," MPP Director of State Policies Karen O'Keefe said. "Most Oklahomans agree that patients should be able to access medical marijuana safely and legally if their doctors recommend it. It is noteworthy that this measure passed in such a red state during a primary election, when voter turnout tends to be older and more conservative than during a general election. Support for medical marijuana is overwhelming, and it spans the political and demographic spectrums."
O'Keefe also noted MPP was happy to see officials taking the bull by the horns in terms of getting regulations out in a timely manner.
"We are pleased to see state officials are already working on developing a regulatory framework for medical marijuana, and we hope they will include patients, advocates, and other stakeholders in the process," said O'Keefe. "It is important that patients have reliable access to the products that work best for their conditions. Oklahoma officials can learn a lot from the successes and shortcomings of other states' programs, and hopefully they will create a system that will serve as an example for other states in the region."
NORML Executive Director Erik Altieri says Tuesday night's results further reinforce that medical cannabis is no longer a partisan issue.
"The sizable margin of victory for medical marijuana in a traditionally socially conservative state such as Oklahoma demonstrates that the issue has long since broken free from being a regional, partisan one," Altieri told Cannabis Now. "Allowing patients access to a safe and effective treatment option such as cannabis is an issue of morality and compassion. The majority of Oklahoma voters stood up for those suffering in their state and as a result, countless patients will now be able to utilize marijuana as a treatment for their ailments without fear of law enforcement breaking down their door and treating them like criminals."
Altieri called on lawmakers in Oklahoma's neighboring states that lack medical marijuana protections to take notice and approve similar programs through their state legislatures.

Bali first timer visitor would often visit Kuta/Legian because it's cheaper compare with Nusa Dua, Ubud or Jimbaran, there's a lot of bars, cafes, and store, so it will be easy for you to buy both local or international goods only by walking and enjoy the atmosphere even until midnight because Kuta is never sleeping and most important thing, most of the spots in Kuta is "Uber" friendly, not like in Canggu or Seminyak.
But talking about how much crowded Kuta is, you can still hiding from its bustling Kuta vibes, The Stones Hotel is one of the most comfortable choices in the area even when there is a holiday season because in Kuta, everything you need and in walking distance. But the stones offer you a hiding place with summer pool experience, easy afternoon drink, quite dinner with live music without any noise from another venue that sometimes annoyed the mood.
For me, The Stones Hotel Bali is my personal choice to be among touristy center where I can exploring city at night by walking, or even in the morning there will be a bunch of tourists already there to have a good fun time, or if decided to stay enjoy the hotel, the pool was not over capacity because it's the biggest pool in Kuta/Legian and you still can get your personal space. If you want more personal, there are cabanas you can choose, a great spot to enjoy the pool view, book and drinks.
You exchange the cabana spot with some drink or food that you need to buy, it wasn't that hurt because what kind of summer pool without a great drink isn't it? and please don't be basic by order a Long Island Ice Tea lol. I got very refreshing herbal Butterfly Pea flower cocktail, that you can order too because it beautiful colors that represent your summer vibes (if you want my drink, you can show this pictures to the bartender, since I asked them to give the beautiful and refreshing drink for me, because I won't thinking too much hahaha) and great antioxidant, also great for digestion too. Why? because when you are on vacation, either you eat less than usual or too much eating.
Stay at The Stones Hotel Bali is worth to try, especially the Pool that I can say the best hotel pool in Kuta area, where you can also get an ice popsicle or cold fruits skewers in the middle of the day (you see the staff on the rubber boat? He was serving it fruity ice lolly for you to enjoy in the middle of a sunny day in Kuta.
"Your stylish resort escape awaits you here in Bali. Boasting exquisite design, luxurious accommodations and a wealth of world-class amenities, the award-winning The Stones Hotel - Legian Bali, Autograph Collection delivers a truly unforgettable experience.

BP Reveals Its Ambitious Plan To Achieve Net Zero Carbon Footprint By 2050
BP sets net zero carbon targets for 2050 with a plan to invest more in low-carbon businesses. BP's new chief executive Bernard Looney has set an ambitious goal to shrink the carbon footprint of the oil firm to net-zero by 2050 by reducing more greenhouse gas emissions every year compared to what produced by the whole of the UK.
This month, Bernard Looney, who replaced Bob Dudley as chief executive, said that BP needed to change, and it's clear. According to him, BP's objective would be to become a net-zero company by 2050 or sooner by managing "all the carbon we get out of the ground as well as all the greenhouse gases we emit from our operations."
Following the other large oil firms, BP is setting a target to reduce its contribution to the climate crisis, and that will require this oil and gas business to remove 400m and more carbon emissions a year.
Looney expects BP will "invest more in low-carbon businesses – and less in oil and gas – over time," however, the details of how BP plans to meet the goals will not be disclosed until an investor meeting to be held in September.
"Today is about a vision, a direction of travel," he told an audience of investors and industry analysts. "I appreciate you want to see more than a vision. We don't have that for you today, but we will in September. The direction is set. We are heading to net zero. There is no turning back."
BP would continue producing oil and gas in 2050, the former head of BP's oil production business said, but less than what it produces now. Around 360m tonnes of greenhouse emissions created from the oil and gas production every year will require BP to cut or offset through measures such as tree-planting, and carbon capture technologies under its net-zero strategy.

Looney assured investors, saying that the company would safeguard the $8bn, the amount paid out in shareholder dividends each year by becoming "a force for good as well as a provider of competitive returns."
Helge Lund, the chairman, said: "The board supports Bernard and his new leadership team's ambition for BP. Aiming for net-zero is not only the right thing for BP, it is the right thing for our shareholders and for society more broadly."
This green goal of BP have divided the opinion of environmental campaigners. Some of them welcomed the company's ambition, while others criticized the absence of a clear plan of action.
Murray Worthy, a senior campaigner at Global Witness, said BP's net-zero pledge "looks like an attempt to grab some positive headlines by a new CEO but with little of substance to show how it will achieve these grand claims.
"Saying that they will invest more in low-carbon tech and less in oil and gas 'over time' is not a credible plan for reaching net zero."
All the organisations that collaborated with BP's executives to help tackle the climate crisis, including shareholder pressure group Climate Action 100+, green investor body Follow This, the Church of England Commissioners and the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC), welcomed the ambitions.
Stephanie Pfeifer, a member of Climate Action 100+ and the chief executive of the IIGCC, said investors would look forward to progress made by BP. It includes how it would invest in non-oil and gas businesses more, ensuring that its lobbying activity supports the delivery of the Paris agreement.

The company planned to grow its oil and gas production by about a fifth between 2018 and 2030, even though the world would be on track for catastrophic global heating and a runaway climate crisis for the increase in fossil fuel production, an investigation by the Guardian last year revealed.
"I know many may doubt our intentions, based on seeming inconsistencies between what we say and what we do. I get that," Looney said. "We are taking steps to more firmly and visibly align our intentions with our actions and become much more transparent."
BP's role in lobbying would be more active for policies that would encourage action on the climate crisis and would reduce its corporate reputational sponsorship cost while redirecting the funds towards the promotion of climate action.
Looney's plan for a greener BP is also one of the most radical corporate overhauls for the company in decades.
The traditional distinction between upstream, which produces oil and gas, and downstream, which refines the fossil fuels to sell petroleum products of BP, will be replaced. On the other hand, four new business areas: production and operations, customers and products, gas and low-carbon energy, and innovation and engineering will emerge.
"We'll still be an energy company but a different kind of energy company," Looney said.


During the development of mouse B cells there is a regulated shift from the production of membrane to the secretion-specific forms of immunoglobulin (Ig) mRNA, which predominate in the late-stage or plasma B cells. By DNA transfection experiments we have previously shown that there is an increase in polyadenylation efficiency accompanying the shift to secretion-specific forms of Ig mRNA (C. R. Lassman, S. Matis, B. L. Hall, D. L. Toppmeyer, and C. Milcarek, J. Immunol. 148:1251- 1260, 1992). When we look in vitro at nuclear extracts prepared from early or memory versus late-stage or plasma B cells, we see cell stage- specific differences in the proteins which are UV cross-linked to the input RNAs. We have characterized one of these proteins as the 64-kDa subunit of the general polyadenylation factor cleavage-stimulatory factor (CstF) by immunoprecipitation of UV-cross-linked material. The amount of 64-kDa protein and its mobility on two-dimensional gels do not vary between the B-cell stages. However, the activity of binding of the protein to both Ig and non-Ig substrates increases four- to eightfold in the late-stage or plasma cell lines relative to the binding seen in the early or memory B-cell lines. Therefore, the binding activity of a constitutive factor required for polyadenylation is altered in a B-cell-specific fashion. The increased binding of the 64-kDa protein may lead to a generalized increase in polyadenylation efficiency in plasma cells versus early or memory B cells which may be responsible for the increased use of the secretory poly(A) site seen in vivo.

Wesleyan group offers prayers on town green
By Lee J. Kahrs
BRANDON — In today's more secular society, driving through a picturesque small Vermont town and seeing a large, red banner that says simply "Prayer" in the local park might give one pause. They might think some out-of-towners were exercising their freedom of religion, but choose to steer clear. But they would be wrong.
"We're there to reach out to the community for prayer with people," said Richard Brosse, a member of the Forest Dale Wesleyan Church in Brandon. "No pressure, just friendly ministry."
Brosse said that the idea for the "Prayer Stand," as congregation members call it, in Brandon's Central Park germinated in the church's adult Christian education group that meets every Sunday morning.
"In our small group, we wanted to do outreach for the community," Brosse explained. "I saw the idea in a magazine and thought it would be a good, unique way to do that."
Armed with the large, red "Prayer" banner, a few folding camp chairs and free Bibles, Brosse and Wesleyan Church Pastor John McDonald set up the first Prayer Stand on a Saturday in June. Weather permitting, two members of the Forest Dale Wesleyan congregation are there in Central Park each Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Wesleyan Church is a Protestant, evangelical sect of Christianity developed by John Wesley, founder of the Methodist movement. It is a Bible-centric religion focused on outreach and spiritual growth. Like many religions, it is local church-centered, but also finds unity in diversity of race, personalities, cultures and perspectives. During the abolitionist period prior to the U.S. Civil War, the Wesleyan Church was staunchly against slavery.
Brosse said that roughly 40 people have visited the prayer stand since it first appeared. Some live in Brandon, others are just passing through, and they all visit for different reasons.
"Some people ask if we will pray with them," Brosse explained. "Some have religious questions and we try to answer them. We accept Jesus Christ as our lord and savior and welcome anyone who wants to talk with us."
Brosse said that all manner of folks have stopped by. Some aren't seeking prayer as much as a place to sit and rest a minute, others merely ask for directions.
"Some people are from out of state and we'll never see them again," Brosse said. "Others come and ask what we're selling. We give out Bibles. We don't pressure anybody."
He tells of a woman from Maryland who stopped by one afternoon.
"She said, 'Oh, this is wonderful! Do you read auras?'" Brosse recounted with a laugh.
Brosse, a veteran of the Vietnam War era, served for several years as the chaplain at the Brandon post of the American Legion. He said the church's goal of community outreach is being met without any high-pressure tactics.
"We thought about knocking on doors, but that's too 'in your face,'" he explained. "It just doesn't work. If people want to come and see us, they can. We're not trying to shove anything down anyone's throat. We're just trying to be a blessing for the community."
Weather permitting, the Forest Dale Wesleyan Church will operate the Prayer Stand in Brandon's Central Park each Saturday through early fall.

The design of photoswitchable multifunctional molecules, materials and devices is an appealing field of research with a growing number of recent potential applications. In this regard, diarylethenes (DAE) are of particular interest since these photochromic molecules are excellent candidates for a wide variety of optical applications such as photomechanical conversion, photocontrol of DNA structure and living organisms but also optical data storage and super-resolution imaging. For these two latter areas, appending fluorescence properties to the DAE compounds would be highly beneficial thanks to the combination of the photoswitchable behavior of the photochromic reactions and the high sensitivity of fluorescence spectroscopy. In this lecture, three main categories of molecular systems based on DAE derivatives with fluorescent properties will be presented: (i) the DAE unit itself shows fluorescence properties, (ii) the DAE and the fluorescent units are associated non-covalently, and (iii) the DAE and the fluorophore are linked via covalent bonds. Structural characterizations, steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy investigations, from the ensemble level down to the single nanoparticle level, will be developed to quantify the switching efficiency, demonstrate nonlinear photoswitchable fluorescent properties, and decipher the processes driven at the nanoscale (intra- and intermolecular energy transfer) leading to amplification effects when a large number of chromophoric species are involved.

More Women's Footy For Queenslanders in 2021
The 2021 AFLW Fixture is set, with six of our nine games to be played in Queensland.
Brisbane Lions Head of Women's Football Breeanna Brock commended today's 2020 AFLW fixture announcement.
In a real coup for Women's football in Queensland the Lions will play nine regular season games, with five to be hosted at home by the Lions and an additional Away match against the Suns at Metricon Stadium, meaning Queenslanders will get to see more footy than ever before.
Off the back of what was an interrupted season in 2020, Brock said the team was so excited about getting back to doing what they love.
"Now that the 2021 draw is out, we're really excited that we get to showcase so much women's footy in Queensland," Brock said.
"We really have the opportunity this year to go to the next level and the fans can be excited about being able to be a big part of it."
A post shared by Brisbane Lions AFLW (@lionsaflw)
In another exciting step forward for the League, matches in 2021 will be ticketed for the first time, allowing for much-needed additional funding to make its way into the competition.
Tickets to AFLW matches for Adults / Concession will be $10 with free entry for children under 18.
Today's fixture sees the Lions take on Richmond on the road in Round 1 before they return to their home ground at Hickey Park on Brisbane's northside to face Geelong in Round 2.
"It's such a fantastic venue for our fans, it's really accessible with plenty of parking options and close to public transport. There is a bit more shade and seating for the crowd and it has a really fantastic community atmosphere"
The Lions will also face GWS, West Coast and the SUNS on the road however in a truly remarkable fixture for the Club they will play four more games at home against Melbourne, Adelaide and Fremantle at Hickey Park and a blockbuster match in Round 8 against Collingwood on a Saturday afternoon at the Gabba.
"It really is a fixture for the fans and we're just delighted about delivering it" Brock said.
Senior Coach Craig Starcevich said he is happy with the stability of the team from last year and impressed with the work that the players have done over the winter QAFLW season and the first month of preseason.
"We've been regular finalists in the first four years of the comp and this group is committed to continuing that trend" he said.
"Fans should be excited about the quality and quantity of football they'll get to witness this year."

There have been a few things that have happened lately which just remind me how much I love MCC locally and as a denomination. Every time we have Enquirers' Class, I show a short DVD which tells the story of our Founder, Reverend Troy D. Perry. He started Metropolitan Community Churches a year before the Stonewall riots in New York. (http://tinyurl.com/3qgy6fu) Reverend Perry organised the first Pride march in Los Angeles on the first anniversary of the riots. Our church in San Diego was part of a 24 prayer vigil for HIV/AIDS which developed into World Aids Day. We committed ourselves to equality and inclusivity at the start of our ministry and over half MCC's clergy are women. We use language in worship that reflects the diverse encounters God that are experienced by those who make up our world faith community. As a denomination, we believe strongly in the 'priesthood of all believers' – that is, we believe everyone is called to be active in ministry, it is not just for a select few. The denomination now has a formal programme – Laity Empowered for Active Discipleship – L.E.A.D., which gives lay people (those who are not clergy) a training programme and a way of having their gifts and skills recognised.
On Saturday evening, some of us at NLMCC joined MCCers around the world to participate in a live webinar with LGBT theologian Chris Glaser. It was wonderful to see all the different names and church congregations logging in. People could type in comments and questions to Chris, which he responded to, just as though we were all in the room together. If we had wanted Chris Glaser to come to Newcastle, it would have cost us hundreds of pounds. Yet we were able to participate in this time of retreat and reflection completely free. Chris will also provide the resources that we will use for our Advent groups in December.
Recently I was contacted by the MCC department which deals with starting new churches – The Office of Emerging Ministries. Northern Lights MCC has been invited to be the Sponsor Church for a new church starting in Brighton – The Village MCC. The Board has agreed to this request, which means that we will provide resources to Reverend Michael Hydes and the congregation, such as help with developing worship and policy documents. Each month, we send a percentage of our income to the denomination to contribute to our ministries worldwide. Some of this money will now go instead to The Valley MCC to help it grow and develop. For me, it is wonderful to be part of a worldwide denomination, sharing our faith, sharing our resources, changing the world.

Keith Jarrett: The Carnegie Hall Concert
By JASON CRANE
Three minutes and 22 seconds into "Part 3" of The Carnegie Hall Concert, pianist Keith Jarrett uses one of his trademark vocalizations as a second instrument, elevating the stately piece into a gorgeous anthem that grabs the attention and lifts the spirit. Then, a few seconds later, he stops. It's hard to decide which moment is more arresting.
Jarrett is justifiably famous for his solo piano playing. The Köln Concert (ECM, 1975) was the Frampton Comes Alive! of piano jazz albums in the '70s—as close to arena rock popularity and ubiquity as 66 minutes of solo piano is ever likely to get. One thing about those 66 minutes, though, is that they were divided into four parts. The new Jarrett-as-soloist is more inclined to stop playing every once in a while.
It's not that the Köln-era improvs were too long, it's just that it's refreshing to hear a master improviser like Jarrett work with shorter forms. "Part 2," for example, finds Jarrett winding his vaguely Middle Eastern melodic line over a dense and solid left-hand groove. This exciting work lasts all of three and a half minutes—long enough to get a taste and to be left wanting more.
The two-disc set is not uniformly inspiring. "Part 1" never seems to go anywhere, and while that's not always necessary, this piece would have benefited from some development along the way. But for the few moments that may fall short, there are many more examples of a level of musical understanding attained by very few players.
Jarrett is moving so quickly in "Part 6" that it's a wonder he can keep pace with himself. Yet the piece hangs together, in part because of his smart use of space during the stacked series of runs up and down the keyboard. The shift in tempo and style at 3:40 feels like emerging into a glittering cavern after running down a narrow tunnel.
"Part 7," though, is where the Jarrett of the Gospel returns from the 1970s. The Jarrett who preaches. The Jarrett who implores and inspires. This is not the Jarrett you'll see interviewed, or the man you'll read about in the magazines. This is the secret prophet locked away behind the controlled exterior. This Jarrett sings, and when he sings, he parts the clouds and makes you realize that the piano can be all things at any moment. This Jarrett will make you clap your hands. He'll make you smile. He'll make everything okay, and you'll want to surround yourself in this music forever.
And in the end, that's really what a master musician like Keith Jarrett is all about. He helps us transcend the everyday, the mundane, the unflinching realities of the world. He helps us aspire to be more. And for that, we should all be grateful.

MEXICO CITY — The Trump administration has won the support of Mexico's incoming government for a plan to remake U.S. border policy by requiring asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their claims move through U.S. courts, according to Mexican officials and senior members of president-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador's transition team.
While they remain anxious that the deal could fall apart, U.S. officials view this as a potential breakthrough that could deter migration and the formation of additional caravans that originate in Central America and cross through Mexico to reach the United States. They have quietly engaged in sensitive talks with senior Mexican officials, attempting to offer a diplomatic counterbalance to President Trump's threats and ultimatums.
The prospect of keeping thousands of Central American asylum seekers for months or years in drug cartel-dominated Mexican border states — some of the most violent in the country — has troubled human-rights activists and others who worry that such a plan could put migrants at risk and undermine their lawful right to apply for asylum.
Dozens of U.S. asylum officers have been sent to San Diego where they will begin implementing the procedures in coming days or weeks, according to Department of Homeland Security officials. Under the procedures, asylum seekers arriving at the border will be given an initial screening interview to determine whether they face imminent danger by staying in Mexico.
One version of the plan, known as a "Safe Third" agreement, was discussed extensively with the government of President Enrique Peña Nieto. It would have barred Central Americans from applying for asylum in the United States, on the grounds that they would no longer face persecution after arriving in Mexico. But López Obrador's landslide July 1 victory sunk those plans, and senior members of his transition team say a "Safe Third" is a non-starter.
U.S. asylum officers and other immigration officials who began receiving guidance this week on the implementation of Remain in Mexico were told the procedures could take effect imminently, but senior officials from both governments say key details remain unresolved.
U.S. officials want to roll out the program at the San Diego border crossing to deal with the caravans that have become a source of frustration for Trump, but they envision it could be expanded to another five to seven crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border. Senior U.S. officials said they want more assurances on how Mexico intends to keep asylum seekers safe and to ensure they don't get deported back to Central America before their asylum claims get resolved.

Why are 170,000 people heading to San Francisco? Dreamforce
Natalie DiBlasio
San Francisco has a lot of conferences and conventions. As a city newbie, I've heard a buzz around all of them: Facebook's F8, TechCrunch Disrupt, Oracle's OpenWorld, the list goes on. But none is remotely as massive as Salesforce's Dreamforce.
Maybe that's because last year, so many people came to the event, Salesforce had to rent a cruise ship to house the attendees once local hotels and Airbnbs filled up. This year, 170,000 people are headed to San Francisco Dreamforce. So what is this beast?
Pitch sessions and mindful monks
It's a conference, put on by Salesforce (CRM), a cloud-based customer service software provider. Like many smaller-scale tech support conferences, it's a time when Salesforce can meet with its customers and developers, putting itself in the spotlight to announce its goals. And in the spotlight it sure is.
Dreamforce banners are all over bus stops, streets are shut down in preparation and the Moscone Center is covered in blue Dreamforce banners. The company has more than 2,500 breakout sessions over four days (Oct. 4-7.) But it's not your standard conference setup. There's a Shark Tank-like pitching session with Mark Cuban, Chris Sacca and will.i.am (up to $150,000 is at stake) and 20 monks are coming in to lead daily mindfulness sessions. Monks. Twenty of them. The whole shindig brought in $137M of direct business sales to the Bay Area last year, San Francisco Travel reported in 2015, and this year, even more attendees are expected.
AI, gender equality
What are the hot topics besides the key one: how to improve sales?
Machine learning and artificial intelligence.
In September, Salesforce unveiled Einstein, its artificial intelligence product that helps salespeople focus on leads that statistically show the most promise of becoming clients, and helps customer service reps answer a rainbow of consumer queries.
More Einstein features are expected to be discussed at Dreamforce. Important to note: Salesforce has been working on its Einstein AI services for two years, and it acquired eight machine-learning companies in the process.
Equality. Salesforce is dedicating an entire day to the Women's Leadership Summit with speakers like sports icon Billie Jean King and equal pay for equal work activist Lilly Ledbetter.
The company's CEO Marc Benioff is known for his activist nature and extols what he calls "compassionate capitalism." Benioff and his wife Lynne have given $200 million to a San Francisco children's hospital that now bears their name and Benioff's passion for the ocean, music and a holistic lifestyle often result in Dreamforce speakers touching on everything from yoga to oceanography. In September, Benioff announced a new endeavor — hiring the company's first-eve chief equality officer Tony Prophet to bring greater diversity to the business software company.
Dreamforce, and Salesforce, haven't necessarily won accolades for how it approached the tech industry's historic lack of women and people of color.Last year at Dreamforce, panel hostGayle King drew criticism for asking YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki if her children were "by the same husband" and for asking other questions that focused on motherhood rather than entrepreneurship. Benioff also took some heat when he said, at an Advancing Women in the Workplace panel, that diversity is important, but Salesforce's "major focus right now" is on "the women's issue."
It will be interesting to see how the organizers and participants handle themselves with a year's worth of mindfulness behind them. One progressive move? Gender neutral bathrooms.
Who goes?
Lots of salespeople — Salesforce's clients. Speakers like Melinda Gates, ABC News' Good Morning America Co-Host, Robin Roberts and General Motors CEO Mary Barra, life strategist Tony Robbins and many more. Oh, and U2 will be there, too.
And why should you care?
Salesforce and Benioff have an outsized influence over Silicon Valley entrepreneurs — and the company is no lightweight on its own. Benioff started Salesforce in 1999, back when few were talking about the potential of cloud-based computing. But his prescience in this area has led to massive success. And here's the latest: Salesforce has long been a target of acquisition rumors, specifically by Microsoft, which is trying to build out its enterprise-focused cloud platform. Microsoft's recent $2.6 billion bid for professional networking site LinkedIn was recently opposed by Benioff on the grounds that it could create a form of monopoly when it comes to professional networking information. Salesforce, it turns out, was one of the bidders for LinkedIn, and isn't eager to see a massive competitor make out with that prize.

Die CDU Baden-Württemberg ist der Landesverband der CDU in Baden-Württemberg. Mit rund 60.200 Mitgliedern war er Ende 2019 der zweitgrößte Landesverband der CDU. Vorsitzender ist Thomas Strobl, Innenminister und stellvertretender Ministerpräsident.

Der Landesverband wurde im Januar 1971 durch Zusammenschluss der Landesverbände Nordbaden, Südbaden, Nordwürttemberg und Württemberg-Hohenzollern zu einem Dachverband gegründet.

Von 1953 bis 2011 stellte die CDU in Baden-Württemberg kontinuierlich den Ministerpräsidenten des Landes. Von 2011 bis 2016 war die CDU die größte Oppositionspartei im Stuttgarter Landtag. Seit Mai 2016 ist die CDU wieder in der Landesregierung vertreten, als Juniorpartner in einer grün-schwarzen Koalition.

Innere Struktur

Der Landesverband gliedert sich nach den Regierungsbezirken in Baden-Württemberg in die vier Bezirksverbände Nordbaden, Südbaden, Nordwürttemberg und Württemberg-Hohenzollern. Diese wiederum teilen sich in 41 Kreisverbände und über 800 Stadt-, Gemeinde- und Ortsverbände auf.

Organe
Als oberstes Gremium des CDU-Landesverbandes agiert der Landesparteitag, der die Mitglieder des Präsidiums und des Landesvorstandes sowie die Mitglieder des Landesparteigericht wählt. Eine lokale Besonderheit ist die Wahl der Delegierten. Für je 250 Mitglieder entsenden die Kreisverbände jeweils einen Delegierten. Zusätzlich entsenden die 4 Bezirksverbände je 60.000 Wähler bei der letzten Landtagswahl einen Delegierten. Diese Sonderregelung ist als Kompromiss im Rahmen der Vereinigung der einzelnen Landesverbände und der "Herabstufung" zu Bezirksverbänden entstanden.

Der Landesvorstand entscheidet über die laufende Politik der CDU Baden-Württemberg unter Beachtung der Beschlüsse des Landesparteitages. Das Präsidium stellt den Kopf des Landesvorstandes dar und führt -gemeinsam mit der Landesgeschäftsstelle- die laufenden Geschäfte des Landesvorstands.

Das Landesparteigericht entscheidet über satzungsrechtliche Fragen, Wahlanfechtungen, Parteiausschlussverfahren u. a.

Weiterhin bestehen Landesfachausschüsse und Arbeitskreise als Organe des Vorstandes.

Mitglieder
Wie alle Parteien in Baden-Württemberg besitzt auch der CDU-Landesverband eine im westdeutschen Vergleich unterdurchschnittliche Mitgliederdichte. Dies hängt mit der südwestdeutschen Tradition kleinräumiger politischer Selbstverwaltung zusammen. Auf kommunaler Ebene ist nicht die Parteizugehörigkeit entscheidend, sondern die Persönlichkeit. Es herrscht deshalb auf kommunaler Ebene eine Kultur der Parteiendistanz und Parteilosigkeit vor.

Die nachfolgende Tabelle gibt die Entwicklung der Anzahl der Mitglieder seit der Gründung des Landesverbandes an. Die bisher höchste Zahl an Mitgliedern wurde am Ende des Jahres 1984 erreicht.

Im August 2001 waren 79 % der Mitglieder männlichen und 21 % weiblichen Geschlechts. Der Anteil katholischer Mitglieder lag zu der Zeit bei 60 %, derjenige evangelischer Mitglieder bei 27 %. Das Durchschnittsalter der Mitglieder betrug im August 2001 56 Jahre.

Geschichte

Vorgängerorganisationen bis zur Gründung des Südwest-Staates
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg entstanden auch im Südwesten eine Reihe von politischen Gruppen, die mit der Gründung einer überkonfessionellen Partei aus christlichen, bürgerlichen und liberalen Wurzeln den Fehler der Zersplitterung der Parteienlandschaft der Weimarer Republik überwinden wollten. Die Mitglieder dieser Gruppen standen parteipolitisch überwiegend in der Tradition des Zentrums, zum Teil aber auch in der des Christlich-Sozialen Volksdienstes, der Deutschen Volkspartei und der DNVP, welche in Württemberg durch die ehemalige Bürgerpartei und den Bauern- und Weingärtnerbund repräsentiert wurde.

Das heutige Baden-Württemberg war 1945 auf die amerikanische und die französische Besatzungszone verteilt worden. Deshalb entwickelten sich auch die Parteiorganisationen zunächst getrennt. Auf dem Gebiet der amerikanischen Besatzungszone wurde 1945 in Karlsruhe die Christlich-demokratische Partei (CDP) für Nordbaden und in Stuttgart die Christlich-Soziale Volkspartei für Nordwürttemberg gegründet. In der französischen Zone bildete sich am 20. Dezember 1945 in Freiburg die Badische Christlich-Soziale Volkspartei (BCSV) als Landesverband für Südbaden. Im Gebiet Württemberg-Hohenzollerns entstand die CDU gehemmt durch die französische Besatzungspolitik etwas verzögert. Im Jahr 1947 wurden die Bezeichnungen vereinheitlicht.

Die Gründung des Landes Baden-Württemberg führte zu einer Zerreißprobe auch innerhalb der Partei. Während die CDU in Württemberg relativ geschlossen für den Südweststaat war und Staatspräsident Gebhard Müller ein starker Befürworter der Fusion, kamen gerade in Baden die schärfsten Kritiker der Fusion wie Staatspräsident Leo Wohleb aus den Reihen der Union. Parteiintern einigte man sich 1949 auf die "Freudenstädter Beschlüsse", nach denen diese Frage in einer Volksabstimmung zu klären war.

Ein gemeinsamer Landesverband entstand nach der Gründung des Landes Baden-Württemberg im Jahr 1952 noch nicht. Die Fusion zu einem einheitlichen Landesverbandes sollte erst im Jahr 1971 erfolgen. Um jedoch insbesondere in Zeiten des Wahlkampfs nach außen als mit einer Stimme sprechende Landespartei wahrgenommen zu werden, gab es bis zur Bildung des einheitlichen Landesverbands 1971 eine in regelmäßigen Abständen tagende Konferenz der vier Landesvorsitzenden, die sogenannte "Vierer-Konferenz". Dieser Konferenz gehörten auch der Ministerpräsident und die CDU-Landesminister, die CDU-Landesgeschäftsführer und einige weitere Persönlichkeiten an.

Amtszeit Gebhard Müller

Bei der Wahl zur Verfassunggebenden Landesversammlung wurde die CDU mit 36 % stärkste Partei. Dennoch wurde überraschend zunächst eine Regierung ohne die CDU unter Reinhold Maier (FDP/DVP) als Koalition aus SPD, FDP/DVP und BHE gebildet. Maier erklärte die Bundestagswahl 1953 zu einem Plebiszit über seine Politik und musste konsequenterweise zurücktreten, nachdem die Union im Südwesten bei dieser Wahl die absolute Mehrheit der Stimmen in allen Landesteilen, also auch in Baden erreicht hatte. Nun wurde Gebhard Müller am 30. September 1953 Ministerpräsident einer Allparteienkoalition. Aus Sicht der CDU war dies der Beginn einer einzigartigen Erfolgsgeschichte. Seit diesem Tag wurden die Ministerpräsidenten in Baden-Württemberg für die folgenden 57 Jahre durch die CDU gestellt.

Auch bei der Landtagswahl 1956 wurde die CDU als stärkste Partei bestätigt und steigerte den Stimmenanteil auf 42,6 %. Gebhard Müller blieb Ministerpräsident, bis er 1958 als Präsident an das Bundesverfassungsgericht wechselte.

Amtszeit Kurt Georg Kiesinger
Für die Öffentlichkeit überraschend wurde der außenpolitische Sprecher der CDU-Bundestagsfraktion Kurt Georg Kiesinger Nachfolger Gebhard Müllers als Ministerpräsident von Baden-Württemberg. Kiesinger setzte die Allparteienkoalition nach der Landtagswahl 1960 nicht mehr fort. An ihre Stelle trat eine kleine Koalition aus CDU, FDP/DVP und BHE. Bei der Vergabe der Ministerposten wurde streng darauf geachtet, dass die vier CDU-Landesverbände ihrem jeweiligen Gewicht entsprechend berücksichtigt wurden. Das besondere Engagement der Regierung Kiesinger lag bei der Kultur- und Schulpolitik. Als Kiesinger am 1. Dezember 1966 als Bundeskanzler nach Bonn wechselte, wurde Hans Filbinger sein Nachfolger.

Amtszeit Hans Filbinger
Zu Beginn der Amtszeit von Hans Filbinger zerbrach die Koalition mit der FDP/DVP, die eine sozialliberale Koalition anstrebte. Nun bildete Filbinger 1966 mit der SPD eine Große Koalition nach Bonner Muster (Kabinett Filbinger I). Filbinger trat vehement für die Vollendung der Integration von Baden und Württemberg ein. In der Konferenz der vier Landesvorsitzenden wurde er die zunehmend unangefochtene Führungsfigur. Nachdem bei der am 7. Juni 1970 durchgeführten Volksabstimmung die Bevölkerung in Baden mit 81,9 % eine große Zustimmung zum Verbleib bei Baden-Württemberg bekundet hatte, sollte endlich der als Anachronismus empfundene Zustand der vier CDU-Landesverbände in Baden-Württemberg beendet werden.

Zusammenschluss der vier Landesverbände

Am 15. Januar 1971 fand in Baden-Baden ein Landesparteitag statt, auf dem sich die vier CDU-Landesverbände in Baden-Württemberg zu einem einheitlichen Landesverband zusammenschlossen. Als erster Landesvorsitzender wurde Hans Filbinger gewählt.

An Stelle der ehemaligen Landesverbände traten die vier Bezirksverbände Nordbaden, Südbaden, Nordwürttemberg und Württemberg-Hohenzollern. Die Einzugsgebiete der CDU-Bezirksverbände entsprechen, obwohl die alten Namen beibehalten wurden, den seit 1973 veränderten Grenzen der Regierungsbezirke Karlsruhe, Freiburg, Stuttgart und Tübingen. So umfasst zum Beispiel der CDU-Bezirksverband Nordbaden ehemals württembergische Gebiete in den Kreisverbänden Calw und Freudenstadt und umgekehrt der CDU-Bezirksverband Nordwürttemberg ehemals badische Gebiete in den nordwestlichen Gemeinden des Main-Tauber-Kreises sowie Teile der nördlichen Gemeinden Krautheim und Schöntal des Hohenlohekreises.

Wahlergebnisse und Koalitionen

Bei den fünf Landtagswahlen von 1972 bis 1988 erreichte die CDU absolute Mehrheiten und konnte Baden-Württemberg alleine regieren. In den anderen Wahlperioden war sie auf Koalitionspartner angewiesen. In den Anfangsjahren des Bundeslandes bis zum Jahre 1960 arbeitete die CDU in einer Allparteienkoalition aus der die SPD mit der Landtagswahl 1960 ausschied. Ab 1964 regierte die CDU alleine mit der FDP/DVP. Die Wahlen 1968 ergaben eine gewichtige Verschiebung. Auch bedingt durch die Große Koalition im Bund brach die SPD auf 29 % ein und die NPD erreichte fast 10 % der Sitze. Entsprechend dem Vorbild im Bund wurde eine Große Koalition gebildet, die ab 1972 durch die CDU-Alleinregierung abgelöst wurde. Auch nach der Landtagswahl 1992 war eine Partei rechts der Union (diesmal Die Republikaner) mit 10,9 % im Landtag vertreten. Die CDU hatte Verluste in vergleichbarer Höhe zu beklagen. Es kam aufgrund dieser Mehrheitsverhältnisse zu einer Großen Koalition. Diese hielt vier Jahre und wurde seit 1996 durch Koalitionen mit der FDP abgelöst, die bis 2011 die Regierung in Baden-Württemberg bildeten. Bei der Landtagswahl am 27. März 2011 erreichte die CDU 39 Prozent der Stimmen, blieb damit zwar die mit Abstand stärkste Fraktion im Landtag, verlor aber die Regierungsmehrheit mit der FDP. Zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte des Bundeslandes erreichten Bündnis 90/Die Grünen und die SPD eine Mehrheit der Mandate.

Inhaltliches Profil bis zur Wahlniederlage 2011

Unter dem Titel "Für eine neue Balance zwischen Gegenwart und Zukunft" beschreibt die CDU Baden-Württembergs in ihrem Grundsatzprogramm 2006 und unter der Überschrift "In der Tat besser" in ihrem Regierungsprogramm 2006 bis 2011 die landespolitischen Inhalte ihrer Politik in den Jahren von 2006 bis 2011.

Familienpolitik

Die CDU Baden-Württembergs sieht in der Ehe zwischen Mann und Frau das Leitbild der Gesellschaft sowie die beste und verlässlichste Grundlage für das Gelingen von Familie. Familie bestehend aus Vater, Mutter und Kindern wird als das Fundament der Gesellschaft gesehen. Die CDU Baden-Württembergs ist dagegen, schwule und lesbische Paare in eingetragenen Lebenspartnerschaften rechtlich Eheleuten gleichzustellen. Ebenso ist die CDU Baden-Württembergs gegen ein Adoptionsrecht für gleichgeschlechtliche Paare.

Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik

Zur Förderung von Wachstum und Beschäftigung wollte die CDU "das Gleichgewicht zwischen Freiheit und sozialer Verantwortung neu bestimmen". Gefordert wurde mehr Unternehmergeist und weniger staatliche Reglementierung. Aufgabe der Landespolitik sei es, "Baden-Württemberg als Standort für Unternehmen so attraktiv wie möglich zu machen" und Belastungen für Betriebe zu senken. Die CDU forderte ein Standortmarketing für Baden-Württemberg und eine aktive Messepolitik. Eine Förderung von Mittelstand und Handwerk sowie ein Bekenntnis zum dreigliedrigen Bankensystem gehörte zu den Forderungen der Union. Konkret wurde eine Reform des Gemeindewirtschaftsrechts angestoßen, die Kommunen eine wirtschaftliche Betätigung außerhalb der öffentlichen Daseinsvorsorge erschwert.

In der Sozialpolitik konnte die CDU im Südwesten auf die bundesweit niedrigsten Arbeitslosenzahlen verweisen und forderte den Einsatz von Kombilöhnen, um Langzeitarbeitslosen wieder in den Arbeitsmarkt einzugliedern. Zur Förderung von gering qualifizierten Jugendlichen wurde das Programm "AKKU – Wir laden Projekte" mit Ausgaben von 40,6 Millionen Euro ins Leben gerufen. Ziel der CDU war es, "sowohl die Erwerbsquote als auch die Selbständigenquote von Frauen" zu erhöhen. Hierzu wurde das Projekt "Kinderland Baden-Württemberg" gegründet.

Energiepolitik
Die CDU wollte mit ihrem "Klimakonzept 2010" bis zum Jahr 2010 den Anteil erneuerbarer Energien verdoppeln. Ein Schwerpunkt sollte die Nutzung von Biomasse darstellen, die bis 2010 ca. 2,5 Prozent des Primärenergieverbrauchs decken sollten. Windkraftanlagen wurden kritisch beurteilt, teils wegen vermeintlich zu geringer Windgeschwindigkeiten in Baden-Württemberg, teils aus optischen Erwägungen ('Verspargelung' von Aufstellungsgebieten).
Bis zur Nuklearkatastrophe von Fukushima kurz vor der verlorenen Landtagswahl 2011 eine Laufzeitverlängerung der (damals 17) in Deutschland betriebenen Kernreaktoren angestrebt. Zur kernenergiefreundlichen Haltung der CDU BW trug auch bei, dass das Land Baden-Württemberg bis Januar 2000 Eigentümer von 25,1 % der EnBW-Aktien war.

Bildungspolitik
In der Bildungspolitik setzte die CDU auf eine enge Verknüpfung von Bildung, Betreuung und Familienförderung. Die CDU steht hinter dem dreigliedrigen Schulsystem und lehnt die Einführung von Gesamtschulen ab. Durch die zusätzliche Einstellung von 5500 Lehrern und der Einrichtung einer "Lehrerreserve" sollte Unterrichtsausfall minimiert werden.

Hochschulen sollten "Mehr Leistung durch mehr Selbstverantwortung" erzielen. Zu der geforderten "unternehmerischen Ausrichtung" der Hochschulen sollte auch das Recht gehören, die Studenten selbst auswählen zu können. Neben den von der CDU geforderten zusätzlichen Landesmitteln für ein befristetes Ausbauprogramm für Hochschulen sollten auch die sozial abgefederten geforderten Studiengebühren von 500 € pro Student und Semester die Ausstattung der Hochschulen verbessern.

Einer intensiven Förderung lernschwacher Schüler schrieb die Union zu, dass in Baden-Württemberg mit 6,7 % der Schüler nur halb so viele wie im Bundesdurchschnitt die Schule ohne Abschluss verlassen. Die CDU spricht sich auch für Begabtenförderung aus.

Einzelne Politikfelder
Während der Zeit in der Regierung bis 2011 stand auf dem Programm der CDU
 eine Förderung des Ehrenamtes
 entschiedener Bürokratieabbau
 eine Stärkung der Gemeindefinanzen durch eine grundlegende Neuordnung
 eine Reduzierung der Umverteilung des Länderfinanzausgleichs

Mind the body (4) What kind of first-personal content?
Frederique de Vignemont February 28, 2019 February 25, 2019 bodily experience / Frederique de Vignemont: Mind the Body / Phenomenology / Philosophy of Mind / Self-consciousness
In the previous post, I argued that the feeling of ownership must be conceived of as an affective feeling. But one may wonder whether this affective feeling is not just a side-effect of the feeling of ownership, and not the feeling itself. Evolutionary significance indeed is only a consequence of ownership (it matters because it is mine). Put it another way, why look for a different type of phenomenal property for the feeling of ownership than ownership itself? The problem that this easier strategy faces is that it presupposes what it is supposed to explain. The main challenge for any theory of the sense of body ownership is to account for its first-personal character. In brief, the feeling of ownership can rationally ground judgments of ownership of the type <this is my hand>, which are immune to error through misidentification. The crucial question is how it can do so. Another way to put it is to ask what is at the source of the de se content in ownership judgments. One may claim that the conceptual mineness content instantiated by the ownership judgment is grounded in a non-conceptual mineness content at the level of the feeling. But this solution seems to simply beg the question and to leave us with no explanation of the mineness content (conceptual or non-conceptual). It is always possible to posit mineness as an irreducible primitive phenomenal property but I believe that we should do so only when all the attempts to account for it have failed. The affective conception that I defend in my book is one such attempt. However, discussions with friends and colleagues (I'm especially thankful to Adrian Alsmith, Raphaël Millière, Chris Peacocke, and Carlota Serrahima) have shown me that it was not always clear how I succeed to meet the challenge of accounting for the first-person character of the sense of ownership. In particular, in Mind the body, I have made several claims that may appear as contradictory:
One experiences one's body as one's own.
The feeling of ownership has a non conceptual de se content.
The feeling of ownership does not represent mineness.
How are the first two claims compatible with the last one? I believe that some terminological precision is required here. One classically talks of the feeling of ownership to refer to the experience that can ground ownership judgments in such a way that the judgment is immune to error through misidentification. But this does not entail that the feeling itself has to be about ownership. All that is required is that there is a sui generis feeling that is such that when one experiences it, one is normally drawn to judge that the body that it presents is one's own. I say "normally" because there can always be defeaters that prevent one to make the transition to the ownership judgment. With this minimal definition in mind, one can see that claim 3 is not self-contradictory.
Still, it may seem to be in contradiction with claim 1. If there is no mineness content, then how can one experience one's body as one's own? Here I should plead guilty. I should have said that one experiences one's body in a special way that makes one judge that it is one's own, instead of simply claiming that one experiences one's body as one's own. I merely use claim 1 as a shortcut, a simplification, but I believe that I was not the only one (see Martin or Bermúdez, for instance). The point of claim 1 was to emphasize the experiential aspect of the sense of ownership and argue that there is a feeling; it was not to describe the specific content of this feeling.
The question now is whether claims 2 and 3 are compatible. Here I believe that it is important to remember the many ways representational content can be de se. Let us assume that a content is de se if it includes a property that bears some relation to the self. Mineness is a type of de se content, which focuses on the relationship of belonging. There are other types of de se content, which concerns other types of relationship. A classic example of de se content is egocentric experiences, which involve visuo-spatial relation (the tree that I see is on my left). Another type of relation is what may be called personal significance (things that matter to me, see Rønnow-Rasmussen, 2011). The subject to whom the object is related is part of the truth conditions of the content. One can now see how the content of the feeling of ownership can be de se without representing mineness. I simply focus on a different type of relation to the self than belonging.
We can now rephrase the original challenge in the following way: can the type of de se content that characterizes the feeling of ownership justify the transition to the other type of de se content that characterizes the judgment of ownership? In other words, can feelings of personal significance ground mineness judgment? The first thing to note is that it is not any kind of personal significance that I have in mind for the feeling of ownership. Clearly, a drawing made by my son has some kind of personal significance but what I mean here is something different. What happens to the drawing does not happen to me. By contrast, what happens to the body that has this significance happens to me. Why is it so? One possibility is that it is because I am my body, but I do not need to make a strong metaphysical claim here. It is enough to claim that we evolved in an environment such that for the self to survive, its body must survive. (One may imagine a futuristic scenario in which one's body can be easily replaced with no cost. In that scenario, would one still need a feeling of bodily ownership? I am not sure. The body one is born with would no longer matter to the subject). Hence, I am entitled to judge that this is my own body when I feel that this body matters to me in this special way, because under normal circumstances the body that matters in such a way is my own body.

Hi Frédérique – thank you for these really insightful series of posts! I really enjoyed going through them and reading the follow-up discussions in the comments. It's been very helpful to come back to some of these issues after reading your book and exchanging some thoughts about your view.
To continue the conversation, I have a lingering concern about what you write in the first paragraph:
"One may claim that the conceptual mineness content instantiated by the ownership judgment is grounded in a non-conceptual mineness content at the level of the feeling. But this solution seems to simply beg the question and to leave us with no explanation of the mineness content (conceptual or non-conceptual)."
To understand the pull of this objection, I suspect more could be said about the nature of the required explanation, namely – what it is about the existence of a (non-conceptual) representation of a body part as one's own that begs for an explanation?
Firstly, if the relevant explanation pertains to the phylogenetic and ontogenetic origins of such representation, then I think it can be readily provided. Through the evolution of the species and the early development of a specific individual, the central nervous system (say, of humans) acquires the ability to systematically discriminate between endogenous and exogenous stimuli. Such capacity may require, among other things, that one represents bodily events as occurring in one's own body, in order to avoid confusing bodily events with worldly events and harming oneself. This is a toy story of course, but once the relevant evolutionary and developmental story has been fully spelled out, nothing should remain mysterious about the emergence of a (non-conceptual) representation of a body part as one's own. On a side note, it is not obvious to me that the emergence (through phylogeny and ontogeny) of a representation of a body part as carrying a special significance is any easier to explain than that of a (non-conceptual) representation of a body part as one's own. If the latter calls for an evolutionary/developmental explanation, so does the former.
Secondly, if the required explanation is mechanistic – namely an account of the cognitive mechanism by which any specific bodily event is represented as occurring in one's own body –, then I also believe that it can be provided, although such explanation is not yet fully developed in psychology. Perhaps some would argue that such a mechanistic explanation can be provided in terms of the minimization of prediction error signals within a hierarchical generative model of bodily and worldly events. Whether such an explanation is correct and sufficiently specific can be debated, but there are presumably testable empirical predictions that could in principle arbitrate current and future debates about bodily ownership. In any case, it does not seem obvious that postulating the existence of a representation of a body part as one's own leaves us unable to explain the mechanisms underlying such representation. Furthermore, the previous point still applies about the relevant explanatory strength of the two competing hypotheses: postulating the existence of a representation of a body part as carrying a special significance also begs for a mechanistic explanation, which seems no easier to provide.
Perhaps I have misunderstood the crux of the issue you raise at the beginning of this post and at the end of the book. It seems to me that once one gets dragged into the dilemma you attribute to Peacocke, one gets cornered into an unstable position that verges on antirealism about the phenomenology of bodily ownership, in order to avoid "begging the question". But I've always struggled to see how admitting the existence of a (non-conceptual) representation of a body part as one's own is really question-begging, for the reasons outlined above.

Q: JQuery same function for multiple events (ex: hover and click event) is there any way to execute same code for different events on the page?
$('.class1').hover(function() {
   some_function();
});

$('.class1').click(function() {
   some_function();
});

instead to do something like:
$('.class1').click.hover(function() {
   some_function();
});

A: While bind is the way to go if you want to attach the event handlers at the same point in your code using the same selector, if you want to attach them at different points or using different selectors, you could always just use a named function, rather than an anonymous one:
function someWrappingFunction() {
   some_function();
}

$('.class1').hover(someWrappingFunction);

$('.class1, .anotherClass').click(someWrappingFunction);

A: Use bind():
$('.class1').bind("click hover", function() {
   some_function();
});

Is Your Booth Staff Ready For An Attitude Adjustment?
Do the math. Assume the next trade show you participate in expects a total audience of 10,000 people over a period of 20 hours. The number of people you can expect to walk past your booth each hour on average is 500. Now divide that number by 60 which results in the possibility of having 8 + people walk by every minute. It's a pretty daunting thought.
As a conscientious exhibit manager, you want to ensure that you are getting the biggest rate of return. To accomplish this you have always encouraged your booth staff to speak to as many people as possible. Maybe it's time to look at rationale that has been used at trade shows for so many years and question whether it still makes sense. Addressing this dilemma means asking some pretty serious questions, one being what's more important to your organization – the sale or the relationship? The knee-jerk answer is the sale. After all, we are all managed in the short term on how each activity you invest in reflects positively on the corporate bottom line. Corporations report quarterly results and a slow quarter causes shareholders to doubt the integrity of their investment. Long term relationships are important, you may argue but if the results aren't there show after show, the budget for those events will be dropped or severely cut. In the past this resulted in a tunnel vision which caused us to set goals for each staffer in terms of leads or sales generated at the show.
All of the recent research of visitor behaviour says that today's attendee has more knowledge about products and services, is further along in the selling cycle and wants to be engaged in the procurement of the services they seek. They are serious shoppers or they wouldn't have chosen to attend the show. One thing that has not changed is visitor's perceptions of booth staff. Study after study concludes that what these sophisticated visitors detest is "pushy sales people." When this same visitor stops at your booth and listens quietly and attentively to a sale pitch is a waste of everyone's time.
Focus on relationships rather than the transaction.
Sixty years ago Walt Disney discovered that when visitors to his theme parks were happy they spent more money and came back more often. He changed the focus of each and every member of his staff from selling souvenirs and frozen chocolate dipped bananas on a stick to dedicating their time to one thing only – happy customers. The same principle holds true every time your staff meets someone at a trade show. If this customer leaves happy the chance of them returning is that much greater. Leave them grumbling about how badly they were treated and they will tell countless friends about the experience.
Replace the selling attitude with that of a host Your trade show booth is your remote location for a few days. Booth guests should be greeted in the same fashion as you would greet a guest when they arrive at your home or office. The new attitude says that your staff is now a host whose job it is to welcome visitors and make them feel comfortable.
Develop a new set of metrics for moving measurement beyond the short term gains. It cost less to keep a customer than acquire a new one. Your metrics should reflect the cost savings of participating in a trade show in terms of both customer acquisition and retention.
Participating at a trade show is a unique opportunity. A change of attitude is an investment in the future growth of your organization – don't squander it with the wrong attitude.

An Open in sports terminology refers to a sporting event or game tournament that is open to contestants regardless of their professional or amateur status, age, ability, gender, sex, or other categorization. In many sports, preliminary qualifying events, open to all entrants, are held to successively reduce the field to a manageable number for participation in a final championship event, which itself may involve elimination rounds.
The term 'Open' may not be absolute. For example, in the U.S. Open in golf, entrants at qualifying events must have a USGA official handicap of 1.4 or less. Other minimum performance standards or eligibility criteria may apply in other sports.
Opens are usually found in golf, tennis, badminton, quizbowl, fighting games, snooker, darts, volleyball, ultimate, squash and chess.
