Children and Psychology, The, by Paul Goodman
What is most significant, it seems to me, is the earnest attention paid to the Children and Family as a subject, the desire of parents to be Informed and thereby do their best, rather than following their wit and impulse; or to say this another way, what is significant is the importance assigned in our society to Psychology itself? for Psychology is still by and large the family-psychology that Freud made it discussing the problems of jealousy, infantile dependency authority, submissiveness and rebelliousness, and sibling competition: and problems of spite, moral prejudice and other reaction-formations springing from instinctual deprivation. This interest in the Children is of course hopeful, for the increase of wisdom cannot fail to remedy... (From : http://www.tao.ca/~freedom/goodman.html.)

Designing Pacifist Films, by Paul Goodman
I am asked for my thoughts about the content and style of anti-war films, and how to make such a film. First of all, such a film must at least not do positive harm by predisposing its audience toward war. The images of senseless violence, horror, and waste that are usually employed in the commercially successful "antiwar" films do have a titillating effect and remain in the soul as excitants and further incitements. Let me show how this works. In cinematic conditions of bright screen and dark theater, lasting for many minutes and tending to fascination and hypnosis, images of horror easily detach themselves from the kind of intellectual and ethical framework in which they are usually presented, and they attach themselves to quite ...

Free Man's Worship, A, by Bertrand Russell
A Free Man's Worship by Bertrand Russell A brief introduction: "A Free Man's Worship" (first published as "The Free Man's Worship" in Dec. 1903) is perhaps Bertrand Russell's best known and most reprinted essay. Its mood and language have often been explained, even by Russell himself, as reflecting a particular time in his life; "it depend(s)," he wrote in 1929, "upon a metaphysic which is more platonic than that which I now believe in." Yet the essay sounds many characteristic Russellian themes and preoccupations and deserves consideration--and further serious study--as an historical landmark of early-twentieth-century European thought. For a scholarly edition with some documentation, see Volume 12 of The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russe... (From : Drew.edu.)

Letter from Cape Colony, A, by Charlotte Wilson
Owing to the energetic prosecution of enterprises which have for their object the exploitation of south-central Africa, a large increase of commercial activity is to be observed in this colony. Yet, though more hands are employed, and though the absolute rate of wages has been somewhat raised, no corresponding improvement in the condition of the wage-workers is felt; in fact those who like myself have been in permanent employment for some years find that the cheapening of money is a positive disadvantage to them. This fact having been asserted, the explanation is as follows. The limited and gradual increase in the requirements of the employment market has been more than kept supplied by the number of persons who flock to this country as to ... (From : AnarchyArchives.)

Sketch of Alexander Berkman, A, by Emma Goldman
To write a biographic sketch of even an ordinary man within the limited space at my disposal would be difficult. But to write about one whose personality is so complex and whose life so replete with events as that of Alexander Berkman, is almost an insurmountable task. To do justice to such a rich and colorful subject one must not be so limited by space as I am. Above all, one should be removed, in point of time and distance, from the life to be portrayed. Which is not the case in the present instance. I shall therefore not attempt a biography at the present time. I shall merely joint down a few outstanding features in the life and activities of our Comrade, which may serve as an introduction to something bigger yet to be written. Perhaps i...

Work and Workers in Sheffield, by Charlotte Wilson
A FIRST IMPRESSION. Sheffield is one of the most beautifully situated and one of the most hideously built towns in England. Grimy rows of squalid houses, broken by dirty yards and courts and noisy factories, the whole over-hung with a perpetual cloud of brown-black smoke, raining a shower of soot; that is one's first impression of Sheffield. On a nearer view, the life of the inmates of these houses, the workers in these factories, appears a, dark and ugly as their surroundings. In the hardware trade the struggle of the big and little industries still continues. One sees the small manufacturer, who rents a workshop or a place in a grinder's "hull," with its machine-tools and its steam-power, and there works with his own hands, assisted perha...

Pastor dragged, beaten by 150-strong mob while praying for sick
In one of the eight attacks on Christians since the COVID-19 lockdown was partially lifted in India two weeks ago, a mob of about 150 people in the southern state of Telangana dragged a pastor into the street and beat him while he was praying for a sick person.
"They kicked me like they would kick a football," Pastor Suresh Rao, a church planter, told the U.S.-based Christian persecution watchdog International Christian Concern about the attack on him in Kolonguda village last Sunday.
"They dragged me into the street and pushed me to the ground," Rao added. "There, they started to trample on me. They tore my clothes, kicked me all over my body, and punched my left eye. I have sustained a serious eye injury as a result of a blood clot."
Local Christians told ICC that Rao arrived at the sick person's house around 9:30 a.m. for prayer. Soon after that, the house was surrounded by a mob of nearly 150 people led by a man identified as Ashok.
The attackers accused Rao of illegally converting Hindus to Christianity. "They said that India is a Hindu nation, and there is no place for Christians," Rao explained. "I am prepared for this kind of eventuality. I know the cost of serving Jesus in these remote villages, and I will continue to serve the people of this region."
ICC said it has recorded at least eight separate attacks on Christians in two weeks following the partial lifting of the nationwide coronavirus lockdown.
On June 11, a group of unidentified people burned down the building of an independent evangelical congregation of about 100 Christians, Real Peace Church, in Vaylur village in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
"I was so distressed and pained in my heart," Pastor Ramesh, the church's head pastor, was quoted as saying. "It was hard labor for 10 years to build the church. All the hard work and sacrificial donations from the poor congregants were brought down to the ground. All that is left is ash."
The Hindu nationalist government of the northern state of Haryana recently pledged to enact a law to regulate religious conversions that would lead to the arrest of Christians who share their faith, talk about Heaven or Hell, or perform charity work for lower caste Hindus.
The draconian "anti-conversion" laws, termed as Freedom of Religion Acts, presume that Christian workers "force" or give financial benefits to Hindus to convert them to Christianity.
While these laws have been in place for decades in some states, no Christian has been convicted of "forcibly" converting anyone to Christianity. However, these laws allow Hindu nationalist groups to make false charges against Christians and launch attacks on them under the pretext of the alleged forced conversion.
Attacks on the minority Christian community in India continued even during the COVID-19 lockdown.
In the east-central state of Chhattisgarh, villagers had banned Christians from burying their dead until they paid fines for not taking part in Hindu festivals and rituals.
The Christians were told to make "restitution" for not partaking in or giving donations for religious rituals in those villages for all the years gone by, and pay an additional fine before their dead would be allowed to be buried.
United Christian Forum in India, a Christian organization that advocates on behalf of Christians in India, documented 56 threats against Christians as well as 78 incidents of violence between January and March of 2020.
In most cases, the attacks were perpetrated by mobs objecting to Christians holding worship services.
India is ranked at No. 10 on Open Doors USA's World Watch List of countries where it's most difficult to be a Christian. The organization says that Christians in the country face "horrific" levels of violence from extremists, with thousands of attacks taking place every year.
Incidents targeting Indian Christians have risen steeply since 2014, when Narendra Modi of the Bharatiya Janata Party came to power, according to Open Doors, which noted that at least one Christian was attacked every day last year.

This is the manual for the keeway Outlook 150 cc which is basically the same as the 125 cc.
How much oil for keeway outlook 150?
You should change the oil on the keeway outlook 150 every 2000 Kmts and the old oil should be drained completely and add one liter.
Not so, you'd better check the coolant level, thermostat, thermoswitch or the water pump.
My friend here you will find the Service manual for the Keeway outlook 125 cc which is basically the same as the 150 cc in pdf.
The Keeway outlook 150 model 2012 owners manual recommends a pressure for both tires of 280 kPa (Kilo-Pascals) which means 40.61 pounds per square inch. However, I have a service manual that recommends 225 kPa which means 32.63 Pounds per square inch. I personally like high pressure (280 kPa) in my tires because the scooter feels more docile. I hope this answer fits you well.
do you still need keeway manual ?
Fuel line is not connected.
If the motorcycle runs after turned on, the fuel line is properly connected so, you have to check for leaking broken fuel hose and replace it or put a clamp on it if it's not broken.
Look in the options menu.
Thanks for coming to FixYa for advice with your problem. I will give you the best of my expertise to help you get it sorted out.
In short, yes you will have a carbie problem. Nothing to serious, it will be gummed up from being left with old gas in it. Petrol has a short shelf life. It starts to deteriorate almost straight away, and anything more than a couple of months old should be discarded if you want your machine to perform reliable with good performance.
Since you are able to get the bike to start, I would be putting some fuel additive in the fuel and see if you can clear the problem. there are many carbie/injector cleaner additives out there. I use Nulon, check with your local automotive supplier. The fact that it was performing badly befor estorage may mean there is some **** in either the pilot or idle side of the carb. Spraying carbie cleaner through the carb intake whilst the bike is running may also help.
Try these things first but if that fails, the best solution is to remove and stripdown the carb, and remove and clean all jets and pay particular attention to small passageways/openings. Use an aerosol carbie cleaner to assist you here, a compressor with air gun is also generally required. make sure you can see the carbie cleaner passing through these orifices and passageways. Letting things soak can also assist here.
Remove the exhaust and see if the power is back. If so, the new exhaust has an internal collapse (obstruction) and needs to be returned to the dealer for a replacement.

The playoffs are fast approaching, but the Pecos Eagles volleyball team is headed in the wrong direction, coach Becky Granado said, following Saturday's loss to the Greenwood Rangerettes.
The Eagles, who could have clinched second place in the District 4-3A standings last Tuesday with a win at Greenwood, lost in four games to the Rangerettes, forcing a playoff Saturday night in Monahans. But playing on a neutral court, the results were even worst for Pecos than at Greenwood, as they were swept by the Rangerettes 25-20, 25-15, 25-18.
The loss sends Pecos into a 7:30 p.m. bi-district playoff match on Tuesday against the Lamesa Golden Tornadoes at the Ector Junior High gymnasium. Lamesa defeated Pecos at Ector last year in the bi-district round of the playoffs.
"We have no fight," Granado said after the game. "I just finished talking to them and I told them I'm waiting for my key players to step up. If they don't step it up, we're not going to have a chance."
"We had a tough time passing and serving. In the third game we missed six serves and that hurt us," Granado said.
The six serves kept the Eagles from taking advantage of Greenwood's own problems in Game 3. The Rangerettes had fallen behind early in the opening game, 8-4, before scoring 16 of the next 20 points to grab a 20-12 lead, then dominated Game 2 and never trailed.
Greenwood's Kim Smith, after struggling at the start of the match, had a trio of hits in Game 2 after Pecos had cut a 6-2 lead to 6-5, while Jaymie Flowers led the Rangerettes' comeback in the opening game from their early 8-4 hole. Stephanie Herrera had a trio of kills during that run, but overall, the Eagles' front line was outplayed by Greenwood in the match.
"We're going to have to hit the ball," Granado said, referring to the Eagles' problems getting any hard spike attempts off for most of the night. "We can't go over there Tuesday night and think we can dink the ball and win. Leslie (Rodriguez), Danielle (Garcia) and Bre'Ann (Windham) are going to have to hit the ball, and we're going to have to play much better defense."
"I've got six seniors who need to step it up; not just one of them, but all six of them," the Eagles' coach added.
Granado even tried to shake things up at one point by putting three freshmen in the game at the same time. Amalie Herrera, Cassandra Terrazas and Adriana Armendariz shared court time during Game 3 in an effort to get something going, but after Vanessa Garcia served the ball into the net to give the Rangerettes a 16-15 lead, Smith then scored an ace serve and Flowers had a spike as part of a 6-0 run by Greenwood that for all intents and purposes ended the match.
The Rangerettes finish District 4-3A play with an 8-3 record and are 19-20 on the season going into their bi-district match on Tuesday against Seminole. Pecos is 15-17, and 7-4 in district going into their match-up against Lamesa, which is 26-10 on the season after placing second in District 3-3A.
Outside of Quincy Carter's turnaround with the Dallas Cowboys, not too many passers have had as quick an improvement in their results as Fort Stockton's Wayne Jefferson did Friday night against the Pecos Eagles.
However, Carter's turnaround under Bill Parcells was compared to his efforts from a year ago. Jefferson's turnaround came from one week to the next, and helped end Pecos' playoff chances for 2003, as the Eagles were beaten by Fort Stockton, 24-7.
The Panthers' quarterback, who came into the game second in the district in rushing, had an even 100 yards on the night, almost half of that on a 48-yard touchdown run in the final period that clinched the victory. But it was the change in his passing numbers, both from the previous week against Greenwood and from the Panthers' other recent games, which permitted Fort Stockton to snap a five game losing streak and hand Pecos its fifth straight defeat.
Jefferson, who was 3-for-20 with two interceptions against Greenwood, was 14-for-19 for 148 yards against Pecos, including passes to Jeremy Velasquez in the first half that set up a pair of Panther touchdowns.
"He was throwing well, and we were just confused defensively for some reason," said Eagles' coach Patrick Willis. "I'll have to look at the film to see why they were so wide open, but defensively we were just not doing the job."
Offensively, the Eagles cut down on both their turnover and penalty numbers from the previous week, when they gave Monahans 17 third quarter points off turnovers in a 37-0 loss. But Pecos didn't do that much positive on offense, either. They were able to take advantage of a fumbled punt by Velasquez in the second quarter to tie the game, on a quarterback sneak by Oscar Parada, but finished the night with just 142 yards in total offense.
Exactly half of that came from freshman running back Luis Ortega, and all of that total in the third quarter. Oretga, who was brought up when running back Booker Fobbs missed two days of workouts last week due to illness, carried the ball 13 times for 71 yards in his varsity debut.
"He could see the holes. They were there," Willis said. However, after runs by Ortega helped the Eagles drive down to Fort Stockton's 24-yard-line early in the third period, Ortega fumbled a 3rd-and-1 handoff from Parada, which the Panthers' Alfred Muniz recovered at the 23. The Panthers then drove deep into Eagle territory before Chris Johannsen booted a 38-yard field go to increase Fort Stockton's lead to 17-7.
Ortega would carry the ball eight straight times on Pecos' next series, as the Eagles drove the ball down to the Panthers' 19-yard-line. But he was stopped for no gain on the final play of the third period and the second play of the fourth quarter, after a fumbled snap by Parada on third down. Parada was then sacked by Matt Garvin on fourth down, and the Panthers took over at their own 25.
"I probably went to the well a little too much, but it was the only thing that was working," Willis said.
Garvin would sack Parada again on the next series, which ended with Pecos losing the ball on downs at their own 48. Jefferson went around the right end on the next play for his second touchdown of the night to clinch the victory.
Fort Stockton converted four third down opportunities and one fourth down attempt on their game-opening drive, a 17-play, 73 yard march that took up the first 8:01 of the game. The key play was a 20-yard pass from Jefferson to Velasquez on a 3rd-and-17 from the Pecos 26-yard-line. Daniel Martinez scored on the next play from six yards out, breaking two tackles at the line of scrimmage.
Fobbs had four straight runs for 18 yards on Pecos' lone scoring drive of the night, which began when Alex Orosco recovered Velasquez's fumbled punt. Fobbs had a nine-yard run on 3rd-and-4, and then ran for five more yards to set up Parada's score.
Orosco's extra point tied the game, but the Panthers took his ensuing kickoff, and starting at their own 39, went 61 yards in 4:16 to regain the lead. The key plays in that drive included a pass by Jefferson to Martinez that deflected off his hands and was caught by Velasquez for a 12-yard gain, after Pecos' line missed sacking the Panthers' quarterback 12 yards behind the line. Jefferson then hit Dustin Jones over the middle at the Eagles' 5-yard-line, and after a motion call, would score on a 10-yard bootleg around the right end.
Fort Stockton improved to 1-2 in district, and can make the playoffs with a win on Friday at Kermit. Both teams are 3-6 on the season, and the Eagles will close out their year with a game on Friday against Greenwood, which clinched a playoff spot thanks to the Panthers' victory over Pecos.
"It boils down to whether the seniors want to play," Willis said. "We'll see if they're proud of their alma mater and want to wear their colors when they come out Friday."
In last Monday's story on the Pecos-Monahans game, an interception in the end zone was incorrectly credited to Jaime Muela. The interception was actually made by Simon Castillo.

Save money by addressing these home maintenance chores now.
Most people maintain a rainy day fund so they can fix things around the house that need repair. But in addition to that rainy day fund, it's important to keep a home maintenance account so you can proactively address issues before they require repair.
Remember the old proverb "A stitch, in time, saves nine?" That can also be translated into financial terms. Perhaps the updated version might be "A dollar now saves ten dollars later." That's particularly true when it comes to home maintenance projects. There are quite a few homeownership responsibilities that you should address before they require repair – it will ultimately save you money and time down the road.
Consider the following home maintenance tasks that you should consider taking care of now before they cost you more in the future.
The average cost of cleaning gutters is under $250, HomeAdvisor reports, and shelling out that cash can save you more than ten times that amount down the road. That's because if you don't have your gutters cleaned, they can get clogged, allowing water nowhere to go when it rains. That water subsequently finds its way under shingles, and later, through your ceilings.
Water damage is incredibly insidious once it gets into your house, and can be very challenging to mitigate.
The cost of a new roof ranges from about $5,000 to $15,000 depending on the material and the size of your house. Add to that any cost to replace or repair drywall and paint over water damaged walls – and worse yet, the cost of mold removal if the water damage goes unnoticed – and you could be paying up to $25,000 if your roof leaks. That's a startling 10,000% increase over the $250 you would spend for a gutter cleaning.
One problem that can be almost as costly to fix as water damage is damage from pests. From squirrels chewing up the insulation in your attic to carpenter ants eating your deck, repairing the damage that pests cause can get expensive. But for most homeowners, the most costly damage can come from termites.
To protect yourself against termite damage, it's a good idea to partner with a pest company that can treat your home against the bugs and then checks it annually for damage. These types of treatments usually cost less than $500 and can give you peace of mind that you won't be experiencing termite damage in the near future.
If you choose to forego such preventive treatment, prepare for expensive issues if termites do make their way into your house – and many homeowners insurance policies don't cover these damages, which can run, on average, about $3,000 to fix. That's about 1,100% higher than the cost of preventive treatment.
Before your heating and air conditioning units are ready for the busy seasons (winter and summer), it's a good idea to have a professional HVAC company inspect and clean your units. You can typically get a contract with a local company to service your HVAC units twice a year for under $500, and they'll clean the systems, check for leaks and ensure that everything is in working order.
This is one of the most important preventive maintenance services you can do, and the reason goes far beyond the financial.
In reality, if you don't know about a leak in your HVAC systems, you could end up with carbon monoxide leaking into your home, which can be a fatal problem.
Of course, most HVAC issues aren't that serious, but some are. More commonly, your system may need freon added or parts replaced so they'll operate properly, and the HVAC inspectors will easily find these issues and fix them. If you don't perform this type of maintenance, you could end up with a compressor that goes kaput in the middle of the most important periods, and you'll not only be left with a freezing or sweltering house, but also with a large bill.
Replacing a central air conditioning unit can cost between $3,500 and $7,600, while a new gas furnace will run you between $4,000 and $5,000, Modernize reports. The increase between the $500 HVAC inspection contract and the price of a new central AC unit is about a 1,420% difference.

These are the factories:

My guess is that the nil right next to the associations in Quiz factory has something to do with the error. I tried to read through FactoryGirl docs to see how to create the right associations but I do not understand certain things. For example:

*

*am I supposed to create the associations in the factory for the join table (Question) only?

*more importantly, since I want to first create a question and then tell the question what options it has, how do I achieve this in the Factory?
Thank you!
Edit:
Option Model:
    class Option < ApplicationRecord
      has_many :quizzes
      has_many :questions, through: :quizzes
    end

Question Model
   class Question < ApplicationRecord
     has_many :quizzes
     has_many :options, through: :quizzes
   end

Quiz Model
    class Some::QuizQuestion < ApplicationRecord
      belongs_to :questions
      belongs_to :options
    end

A: I think you need to add the class_name option to your relationships, I am pretty sure Rails doesn't deal with the Some namespace the way you're expecting it to.
For example:

class Some::QuizQuestion < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :some_questions, class_name: 'Some::Question'
  belongs_to :some_questions, through: :some_quiz_questions
end

Also, that second belongs_to doesn't make sense afaict, you are redefining some_questions right after defining it.

A: Forgot to post the solution to this question.
Main issue/question was:

*

*why was the validation for the join table failing/returning error below:
 * question - Validation failed: Option must
   exist, Question must exist (ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid)

As I suspected, it was because of the  nil value next to both of the associations in QuizQuestion factory:
FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :quiz, class: 'Question' do
    option nil
    question nil
  end
end

Solution was to get rid of the nil value.

Sad song on radio led grieving sister to crash into van
by James Wyllie
© DC Thomson
May Wilson
A grieving dinner lady has been allowed to keep her licence after a piece of music led to her causing a head-on collision with a van.
May Wilson "momentarily" lost concentration while driving along the A947 after a poignant song came on the radio which reminded her of her dead sister.
In a matter of seconds, while the music distracted her, her Vauxhall Astra veered onto the opposite side of the road before crashing into an oncoming Ford Transit van.
The driver of the other vehicle had to be cut free and both he and Wilson had to be taken to hospital to be treated for their injuries.
The 58-year-old appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court and admitted driving without due care and attention on July 9, 2018 at King Edward.
Fiscal depute Felicity Merson explained that Wilson had been heading north on the stretch at around 4.10pm, but had been caught in a 40mph line of traffic behind a slow-moving tractor.
At the same time, a man had been driving a Ford Transit travelling in the opposite direction and at a similar speed.
Mrs Merson said: "She drifted into the other carriageway and he attempted to move to the verge but there was no time for him to avoid the head-on collision, causing irreparable damage to both vehicles.
"As a result of the impact, the accused's car spun 180-degrees and came to rest on the verge, and the van was shunted from the carriageway."
Other drivers sprang into action to help the pair, while emergency servicers arrived on the scene shortly after.
The man had to be cut free from the van and was taken by ambulance to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI) for serious injuries, while Wilson was transported to a community hospital then to Dr Gray's in Elgin for treatment.
Investigators initially believed Wilson had caused the crash by attempting to overtake some of the vehicles stuck behind the tractor.
At first, she was charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving – something she denied during a court hearing last August.
But defence advocate Gavin Anderson said his team had been able to persuade investigators to re-examine the evidence and speak to witnesses once more during lockdown, and Wilson's charge was amended.
He said his client had been heading home to Banff after running an errand in Aberdeen.
"Sixteen days prior to the collision her older sister died suddenly and unexpectedly of a heart attack while in Spain," he said.
"Her remains were still in Spain and Wilson was in the throes of understandable upset.
"She was under no pressure of time to return and it would otherwise have been an unremarkable journey.
"She recalls hearing a song on the car radio which had a particular significance to her late sister and this caused her some upset.
"She has no memory of the collision itself but it is clear that her attention must have lapsed from the road."
Mr Anderson referenced dash-cam footage recorded by a bus, which was directly behind Wilson in the queue of traffic. It showed just a two-second window where the Astra appeared out of control.
He said this brief timeframe would not have allowed anyone to react fast enough, adding: "This was evidently an inescapable accident."
The court heard Wilson, a school catering assistant, has not driven further than Elgin or Banff since the crash two years ago and still carries "sincere regret" that she was responsible for it.
Sheriff Graham Buchanan fined Wilson, of Malcom Road, £800 and imposed six penalty points on her driving licence.

Nick Bostrom's video salutation at the GF2045 Congress
Nick Bostrom, PhD, Professor of Oxford University, co-founder (with David Pearce) of the World Transhumanist Association:
"The digital path [of extreme longevity] would be, if we could develop technology eventually to do human whole brain emulation, where we would create a very detailed model of a particular human brain and then emulate that in the computer, where we would have an indefinite life span potential, we could make backup copies and so forth..."
I think it is time that we try to start to wake up and begin to discuss and vessel the really big question for humanity in this century, which is how can we ensure that we will still be around in the next century and that we will rip the rewards of this enormous potential that we have to transform the human condition for the better. And I think, once you start to think seriously about this not in the sense of figuring out how you can more effectively argue your point of view to convince others, but in the sense of actually trying to figure out, how it works and what you should do. You will soon realize that it is a lot more complicated than it might seen at first, but the stakes are so high that we just need to keep trying to get even that one per cent increase in clarity in how these issues might pen out.
There are just a couple of different possible paths towards extreme longevity: a biological path and a digital path. The biological path would mean that we would invent better life extension technologies, initially by medi-curing diseases, then slowing down the aging process, and having a kind of open end, but still staying in the biological life span. The digital path would be, if we could develop technology eventually to do human whole brain emulation, where we would create a very detailed model of a particular human brain and then emulate that in the computer, where we would have an indefinite life span potential, we could make backup copies and so forth. I think in the long run the digital path is the more likely of those two. The biological path might be a stop gap measure, if one could make these kinds of breakthroughs in bio-gerontology, it would give a little bit of extra time for the people, who alive, could benefit then, till the digital technology will come along. But ultimately the potential in computing technology is far greater than that of biological computing matter that we use now to implement ourselves.
My view is that I think more attention focused on these issues is generally a good thing. I think more brains being concentrated on the problem makes it more likely about we will find solutions. It is interesting to consider the possibility that there might be instances, in which information is actually harmful or dangerous. I call this "informational hazards", where the possibility of true information or the dissemination of true information can cause a risk. And an example of this might be, if you have a new way of, say, modifying a virus that increases its virulence and it is very easy to do this modification, and, if the virus would become sufficiently dangerous there might be a strong fear that we would be better off without that information. This kind of information hazards I think will be an important dose of risk in some of these technological areas. And right now we have very poor mechanisms for dealing with this. The issue rolls recently with the modification of the bird flue virus, which could be made infective among humans, at least so it seems, and this animal model that was used to a fairly simples process, and there was a controversy about this whether this research should be published, and eventually the recommendation was that there should be reductions, the general result could be published, not the technical details of how they go about it. But the recommendation is still really just a voluntary option for the researches. They could, if they want, to protocol line or take it to another scientific journal and research had already been funded and done, without really any serious attention to the potential risks that could result from it. I think, as the power of new technologies grows, our sophistication in how deal with this information hazards will also need to increase radically. And partly here is a problem of coordination that еven, if one research group holds back or even, if one country holds back, if there somebody else, who is going to go ahead and doing it any way, the cat will come out of the box. So, if one looks at the spectrum of existential risk, I think a fair part of that spectrum will rise from these kinds of informational hazard, where that somebody will discover it sooner or later anyway and it is hard really to put a genie back into the bottle, ones it is out. So, becoming better able to deal with those things would be something that would seriously reduce this existential risk.
Now, of course some methods of doing it would create an existential risk on their own, if you made a very ubiquities program of surveillance that might also be enabled by some of these technologies that have been developed: this recognition software and small cameras, data mining technologies, that in itself could create new existential risks in the forms of totalitarian & oppressive governments, which historically has been one of the major sources of human misery and stagnation. So, in many cases this is a double edged sward, when you have something that reduces some of existential risk, but at the cost of creating others. And it becomes really difficult once you start to try just to figure out how this all place out, even now sometimes, which direction is up and which direction is down, like even to know what would be the desirable thing to be aiming for. So, what always strikes me, when I am surveying the field is, how many people there are, who are trying to push some particular agenda and other people, who are opposing them and everybody specie either pushing or pulling, or something, but few people, who actually stand by and can try to figure out, which direction ought be pushing or pulling in the first place. So, my hope would be that we will allocate slightly more power authorities into this reflective task of trying to figure out how the different factors interact and which direction would be desirable to move in, even if it goes at the expense of going slightly slower.
Right now it seems that issues from technology risk are not at the center of political agenda like all sort of other things: unemployment, financial crisis, terrorism and what not, and there might be many reasons for this, so many technologies tend to be developed and deployed relatively slow and gradually over many years, it is not like suddenly a very severe explosion or crisis, so it makes it easier to ignore this at the next administration for your sense whatever can deal with it. Although many policy makers, at least in the West, have a background in law, they often have law degrees, so they are sometimes from business, but they are rarely scientists or technologists. It is interesting, how China is different in that regard, where in their highest decision-making body until recently every single person there was an engineer by training. And now that is no longer true – no they have apparently only one person with a background in the Western engineers. Whereas in the US Congress I think there are something like a couple of people with a science background among hundreds. So, I think that also might sort of help shape, which kind of issues are brought to their attention, and I think it will be desirable to have more technical competence in the highest level of governments, as technology becomes an increasingly important shaper of human destiny.
I think what has tended to happen so far is that, while ideas were still at the periphery of speculative, uncertain & controversial they have a special label, which might be transhumanism. And there is a small group of people discussing on the Internet these new ideas. As some of these ideas become adopted into the mainstream – for example, the idea of in vitro fertilization for infertile couples was once very controversial, now it is common practice – it is no longer seen as something distinctive and transhumanism is just, you know, something that you do, unless you particularly have a big objection to that. And I think that, that is going to be the general tendency, while I stood new in a speculative domain I might have a special label and particularly strange people had promoting & discussing them. Once that enters a common practice, I think that label would no longer be seen as particularly luminating. It will just enter the normal political give & take. And I think it is probably a healthier thing for it to be like that. I think sometimes these ideological labels can polarize people and make it harder to make the nuanced distinctions that ultimately are necessarily, when you actually start using something in the real world. Everything is more complicated than it initially looks like it should be, once you should try to put it into practice and that point I think the big banners might sort of have lost their purpose.
So, one might forget perhaps analogs. The environmental movement has generated political parties in many countries, green parties, where the root was a particular kind of concern for the environment and they have had to develop a more general set of issues and policies and other things and it is possible that something similar could happen with transhumanist concerns. But probably they would have to be first as a large sort of popular movement & interest in these issues that might then create the ground, from which somebody could politically organize and then create sort of more formal political structure on top of that. And I think may be that could work. It is hard to predict how these kinds of political realities will play out.
Now, one concept that is useful I think in thinking about long-term futures for humanities the notion of the single tongue, which should be a world order, where at the highest level of organization there is only one decision-making entity. Now, that decision-making entity could be any of a wide range of certain structures: it could be the world democratic government, it could be a dictator, it could be a super-intelligent machine, it could be some, perhaps, even a universal moral code that had provisions for its law-enforcement, but both good and bad structures could count as a single tongue. But the unifying feature would be that they all have the ability to solve global coordination problems, for example, to avoid arms races or to solve these global common problems, like, when we have different countries spearing out pollutants into the atmosphere or over-fishing the oceans, – now all these kinds of coordination problems that arise from the lack of a single decision-making entity on the top. And the future scenarios for humanity might sort of to be grouped towards the creation of a single tongue which could then solved these coordination problems or not, where you would have some kind of competitive scenario. And I think the single tongue could be either very good or very bad, but provided you had a single tongue that adequately represented interests of the different parts that participated in it, it might be something that could reduce existential risk by eliminating some of these failures of coordination that could resolve dangerous arms races, for example.
It seems may be unrealistic today, because we are so far from that kind of unified world, but if one takes a long historic view over this, there has been an increasing scale of political integration in the human history. We started hunting together as we were bands of may be forty or sixty people that was the largest entity of organization, then we had larger tribes, we had city-states, like in ancient Greece, then larger nations and now we have regional enterprises like the European Union and some global organizations that increasingly weave together in the world in partial ways like World Trade Organization, the UN is weak, but it is more than nothing. So, if one extrapolates this from tribe to city-state, to nation, to EU, then the logical combination of that would be a single tongue. So, I think over a longer-time span in remains a fairly likely, perhaps, more likely than not that humanity will in one way or another end up as a single tongue.

You can't go wrong picking up anything at Stonehorse Market in Utica Square.
With so many places offering excellent prepared food, many of us piece together holiday meals with some things we've made at home and others we've picked up at restaurants.
You can't go wrong picking up anything at Stonehorse Market in Utica Square. Last year its peppermint bark cake, created for the holidays, became a new favorite at tables all over Tulsa. The Market is a great place to pick up a dessert tray of beautiful truffles, cookies, barks and cupcakes, including gingerbread cupcakes topped with miniature gingerbread men.
One of the most elegant finds is Stonehorse's cheeseboards. Assembled with a variety of cheese, pickled veggies, nuts, fruits and breads, this is a cheeseboard made for both the eyes and the taste buds.

Il Campionato italiano di hockey su ghiaccio 2001-02 è stato organizzato come di consueto dalla FISG. È suddiviso in Serie A, Serie B e Serie C.

Serie A
Sono 8 le squadre iscritte, dopo la rinuncia alla massima serie dell'HC Brunico e del Caldaro vincitore della serie B: Alleghe HC, Asiago Hockey AS, HC Bolzano, SHC Fassa, HC Merano, HCJ Milano Vipers, SV Ritten Renon e WSV Vipiteno Broncos.

La vittoria vale tre punti se ottenuta nei tempi regolamentari, 2 se ai rigori. 1 punto in caso di sconfitta ai rigori.

Era prevista una Regular Season (triplo girone di andata e ritorno), con un complicato meccanismo di assegnazione dei punti: al termine del primo girone di andata e ritorno, le squadre si portavano in eredità nel secondo girone la metà dei punti conquistati; il punteggio di partenza del terzo girone era invece determinato dalla somma della metà dei punti conquistati nel primo e la metà di quelli conquistati nel solo secondo girone.

Al termine della Regular Season, le prime sei squadre avevano accesso ai play-off (le prime due direttamente in semifinale).

Women who work in Commercial Lending departments have an overall job satisfaction level of 2.5, 0% of them believe there is gender equality in their firms, and make an average salary range of $50k-$80k.
I've worked for this company for 2.5 years and have noticed that while many women work here, they are generally in support roles and not often in management. There is an old fashioned patriarchal feel to the company and there is certainly a comparable pay gap between equally experienced men and women in the same job role. While I have not taken maternity leave, it is a very short amount of time and there is no paternity leave offered.
Maybe. It depends a lot on your job role and market. I've noticed a lot of women are only in assistant roles and sometimes in management. There are a lot of old-school "boys clubs" and women are not always treated equally.

Finding the right accessories is all in the design basics: It's about balance, proportion, color, and then adding touches of texture here and there. Below are some tips on how to accessorize your home—with a nod towards the crisp autumn days we're enjoying right about now.
Every room needs at least one mirror—for sparkle and to make the space look bigger. My favorite style of mirror is a sunburst style mirror. Very dynamic, it will add a stylish element to your home.
A room I designed for the Washington Design Center's Design House, in which I used a large sunburst mirror as a focal point.

This mirror is about as dynamic as you can get. Hang it above a chest or console table and add some of the accessories below, which reflect the fall season, to finish the look. Here are some of my favorite accessories this season.

1. Floor plan, floor plan, floor plan! This is the roadmap for the rest of your design. Once you understand the floor plan and the scale of the room you can select furniture that is well suited for the space.
2. Select permanent finishes – tile, wood flooring or carpeting – that stand the test of time. These are the finishes that you will live with for some time so don't select anything that is overly trendy.
3. Choose a rug that fits your palette. If you are considering a patterned area rug make sure your selection works with the permanent finishes that you have chosen.
4. Furniture and Fixtures – start searching for your furniture and fixtures with a defined shopping list to guide you. Collect pages from your favorite design magazines with pictures of rooms that you love.
5. Look for fabrics that compliment the furniture pieces you chose and look for your soft-goods — draperies and pillows. As you are shopping for these fabrics use samples of your permanent finishes and your rug colors as a guide. Size usually makes it impractical to drag an area rug with you as you shop but don't rely on photos alone because they never produce accurate color. A good tip is to match paint chips to the colors in the rug and staple them onto the photo for reference.
6. Once you've decided on your design and finishes now you can consider your color scheme. Wall paper, faux finishes or paint – there is a limitless palette of paint colors out there. Take all of your finishes with you and find a hue that compliments what you've selected, but doesn't take center stage. If you are hesitant to go bold throughout the entire house, pick a room and take a leap of faith! Ask for a low-VOC or no VOC paint. These paints have had the toxic chemicals that are used as drying agent removed or reduced and as a result they are much healthier for your home. Paint is the least expensive change you can make to your room however it can provide the perfect finishing touch.
Invite list…theme…food…drinks…lighting? Chances are, when planning a gathering at your home, lighting doesn't make the to-do list. However, lighting can be an important supporting player for a successful party. It helps establish the mood, create a vibe and highlight your home's best features.
Where do you start? Begin by envisioning the areas where you entertain from your guests' vantage point.
You want guests to feel welcome right from the curb. Consider installing decorative, energy-saving, low-voltage landscape lights to illuminate a path to your door. Not only is this important for safety but it also creates ambiance at night.
After your guests have walked through your beautifully lit landscape, do not blast them with a bright lantern at the door. During a party, you can temporarily screw in flicker bulbs for an old-fashioned look or silk-wrapped bulbs that offer less glare.
Look at the front of your property and decide which areas to highlight. Place lights in front of specific plants, trees and shrubbery to create interesting shadows. If you live in a neighborhood where many homes look alike, great outdoor lighting can make yours stand out.
If the party is in the backyard, lighting can heighten the festive atmosphere. Gardens can come alive at night with strategically-placed uplighting, tiki torches, paper lanterns or string lights. The combination of foliage textures and garden colors can create an unforgettably romantic and mysterious atmosphere for your guests.
Because the foyer is the first impression of your home, the space should be inviting and the lighting adequate enough for visitors to perform a quick check in a nearby mirror. For that reason, the light level should be similar to the rest of the house. Consider increasing foyer lighting as guests start to leave so they can find their belongings if stored in a nearby coat closet.
Inside the living spaces during a party, remember that everyone looks better in lower levels of light (restaurants know this very well). When entertaining, there is no reason to over-light. Use dimmers to provide lower light levels for recessed lighting or chandeliers. If your lamps aren't equipped with three-way switches, there are lamp dimmers on the market that will help you control the amount of light in the room.
In the kitchen, layering of different types of lighting is important and dimmers can be your best friend. When you're preparing for a party and cleaning up afterward, bright light is ok. However, during the party, do you really want to draw attention to the unglamorous aspects of entertaining? That's when accent lighting works its magic and there are numerous techniques that may work for your kitchen. Examples include uplighting the soffits above the cabinets, highlighting a cove, undercabinet fixtures, toekick lighting or illuminating the interior of glass-fronted cabinetry.
If you don't already have a decorative fixture over the island or breakfast nook, it is a worthwhile investment. These fixtures supply helpful downlighting while also adding beauty to a utilitarian room. During the party, dim any pendants, island lights or breakfast nook fixtures to give a wonderful, subtle glow to the room. Turn off the overhead lights.
If food will be available in the kitchen, keep the undercabinet lights on to facilitate serving. As well, lighting at the toekick and over the cabinets will add intrigue and interest to the room.
In closing, guests may not remember the lighting in your home, but they will remember the mood and ambiance it creates. Have fun with lighting – it's a party, after-all!
