Loss of a friend and cherished colleague
It is with deep regret that we share the sad news of the sudden passing of Fred Halfen, a longtime leader in the Wisconsin geospatial community, who drowned this week in Prairie du Sac. He was 65.
Fred was deeply connected to the Wisconsin Land Information Association, serving as president-elect in 2005, president in 2006, and past-president in 2007. He also sat on WLIA's Board of Directors, served on several committees, and chaired numerous WLIA task forces. Fred received numerous awards related to his WLIA involvement, a testament to his commitment to the organization and an affirmation of his well-earned reputation of being a formidable and respected leader within the association. In 1998 and 2004 he received WLIA's Outstanding Contribution Award. In 2010 Fred received the association's highest honor, the Allen H. Miller Sustained Service Award, for his sustained service and exemplary contributions to WLIA and the Wisconsin Land Information Program.
Fred served on the Sauk County Board of Supervisors, representing District 26, from June 2009 through April 2014. He was a member of several county committees over those years, including Continuum of Care Development, Highway and Parks, Law Enforcement and Judiciary, Board of Adjustment, Wisconsin River Rail Transit Commission, Planning, Zoning and Land Records, Sauk County Development Corporation, and Communications Infrastructure Committee. Fred also chaired the Sauk County Land Information Council, serving from 2011 to 2014.
Fred's commitment to the Wisconsin land information community extended well beyond WLIA and Sauk County, however. He served on the former Wisconsin Land Information Board for five years and co-chaired the Wisconsin Land Information System project team. In 2010 he earned a Lifetime Excellence Award from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, an honor bestowed to UW-Eau Claire alumni who've demonstrated a longtime, successful commitment to their careers and communities.
Fred led a long and distinguished career at the architectural and engineering consulting firm Ayres Associates, serving in multiple leadership roles until his retirement in 2011. He first joined Ayres as a senior technician in 1976, providing leadership in the photogrammetry division before becoming a regional vice president of the firm's Madison office. He also served as vice president of photogrammetry and, later, as vice president of the company's energy corridors group. His exemplary leadership skills did not go unnoticed, and he earned a President's Award at Ayres in 2006.
Scott Wilson, vice president of Ayres Associates, was a longtime friend and colleague of Fred's and, like many of us, struggles with the hard-to-fathom news of this great loss.
"It was a blow to my heart and my head. It's just hard to wrap your brain around it," says Wilson, who worked with Fred for 23 years and had just attended last Saturday's Wisconsin Badgers football game with him. "Fred had a heart of gold, and the world will be a different place without him in it."
Fred lived in Prairie du Sac with his wife, Alice. He is survived by two sons, Ben and Alan, and one granddaughter.
Formal funeral services will not be held, although a gathering for friends and family is planned for October 26. Details are pending.

Update: A celebration of Fred's life will be held at Hooverson Funeral Home in Sauk City, WI on October 26th from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. The visitation will be followed by an informal gathering/meal at the Prairie du Sac Town Hall building. Fred's obituary is available on Channel3000.com.

Chance The Rapper Boldly Swings For The Fences On His Eclectic Debut Album, 'The Big Day'
Aaron WilliamsTwitterHip-Hop Editor
Chance The Rapper LLC
The RX is Uproxx Music's stamp of approval for the best albums, songs, and music stories throughout the year. Inclusion in this category is the highest distinction we can bestow, and signals the most important music being released throughout the year. The RX is the music you need, right now.
Over the last few years, Chicago's Chance the Rapper has gone from an exciting, dynamic young talent to something like a standing joke in the hip-hop world, even as he also became one of its biggest stars. His insistence that his projects Acid Rap and Coloring Book were mixtapes and not albums lent him an air of obstinate quirkiness that belied a refusal to let others define him. He would be master of his legacy in real time, even if that meant inviting the sort of scrutiny and mockery that inevitably results from that kind of control freakishness.
Where Chance's ingenuity and creativity were once praised and launched him into rap's stratosphere where establishment adulation and corporate sponsorship awaited, his earnestness earned him a backlash from fans who saw him as insincere and corny. That hasn't stopped his star from rising or from doubling down on all of those qualities on his official "debut" album, The Big Day, presented as both a soundtrack and reflective commentary of his spring wedding to longtime sweetheart Kirsten Corley. The result is everything that fans love and hate about Chance, with all of his ambition and ingenuity guiding the way on an album that does its best to rewrite the entire core concept of a rap album — and succeeds in glorious, technicolor fashion.
Chance's sunniness has always been the sticking point of his latter-day material — such as it's possible to call his third mixtape "latter-day" when it came out three years before his album. There's this idea among hip-hop fans and music fans in general that the best art comes from pain. It's a premise Chance thoroughly and joyfully rejects, mining his best days as much as his darkest. In a genre marketed with mean mugs and post-apocalyptic imagery, right up until last year's album of the year, Astroworld, Chance's Black boy joy is both antidote and anomaly. Where Travis Scott raged, Chance cavorts. The whimsy of Chance's experiments with indie pop and Chicago house contradict and counterbalance the bluesy, minor-chord gloom of modern trap. It's just as big an album but it needs to be, because it has to make the same bold swings in the opposite direction.
And where a Kendrick Lamar will question his faith with the furrowed-brow consternation of DAMN., Chance wholeheartedly exalts his relationship with God, starting with Coloring Book's gospel samples and pointed Biblical references and continuing on The Big Day, which credits all of the success of the past three years to Chance's unwavering belief in a higher power. Hip-hop artists, contrary to the arguments against Chance's lyrical content, have always highlighted their religious beliefs, but always with revelations, thunder and lightning, fire and brimstone. Chance posts up in the book of Psalms. That sort of contrarianism may rankle a certain type of fan, but it's as true to the spirit of hip-hop as any ice grilling, gold-chain swinging, chest-thumping menace.
At its heart, rap is about aspiration. That Chance presents a more grounded ideal — marriage, domesticity, legal Black enterprise — is always going to chafe a generation conditioned to believe that rappers must only come from poverty, embroiled in lives of crime and violence, with a nihilistic disregard for society's rules and even less for women. The things your parents wanted for you are for suckers and cornballs. Rap is about rebellion. Except that, when the establishment has become guns and drugs, mindless materialism and misogyny, Chance is the rebel. It feels incongruous, even gross, to embrace the sunny vision of suburban sitcom bliss, the nuclear family of My Wife And Kids over Martin's eternal adolescence or The Wire's unflinching rawness. But hip-hop's cardinal tenet has always been keeping it real; Chance shares his reality with every breath he takes.
Of course, it's impossible to fault his delivery or his ability to rhyme. Chance has long been one of rap's premier lyricists and throughout The Big Day, he showcases the breadth of this ability. The upbeat bop of "Eternal," the spacey introspection of "Roo" with his brother Taylor Bennett, and the throwback house of "Ballin Flossin" all provide wildly diverse and impressively eclectic backdrops for Chance's prodigious vocal talents to romp and swagger and shine. On "5 Year Plan," he addresses the same sort of businessman's acumen and advice that Jay-Z was praised for on 4:44, but without the coldly capitalistic veneer of nonchalance. If there's such space for empathy in getting rich, Chance inhabits it — and comfortably, at that.
The framing device of the wedding and its accompanying reception party accommodates the guests on the album, ranging from family and friends like Chance's own father Kenneth Bennett and long-time collaborators Smino, Francis Starlite of Francis And The Lights to first-time collaborators like DaBaby, Gucci Mane, Megan Thee Stallion, and Nicki Minaj, who appears twice on the album, as well as an array of actors portraying the sort of well-meaning but cantankerous relatives who feel the need to both advise and shade Chance as he takes the biggest step of life.
Everything Chance has done musically to date culminates and coalesces here, only more polished, better executed. This is Chance in his final form as a rapper, as a producer, and as a man — acknowledging that there is always another level to achieve, more growth to undergo, and in his typically optimistic view, more success on the other side of future challenges. That optimism may make us uncomfortable and set off our collective spider-sense of cognitive dissonance, but it's truer to the vast majority of hip-hop's audience than the rap ideal we've been conditioned to aspire to by three generations of rich white guys in boardrooms deciding "what's hot in the streets." That he's achieved so much outside of a traditional label system is both the highest praise of his art and the most vicious indictment of his critics and the status quo his art challenges.
Make fun of Chance if you want, but what other rapper has features that include exploding newcomers like Megan Thee Stallion alongside vets like Nicki Minaj and legends of the screen like Keith David and Cree Summer? Chance rewrote the rules of the industry, remained true to himself, and finished first despite the world's insistence that nice guys finish last. The Big Day actually makes perfect sense as a debut album in that light. Seven years into his illustrious, groundbreaking mainstream run, Chance The Rapper has finally arrived.

I am opposed to this much the way I am opposed to the death sentence. I have seen too many cases of people wrongfully accused of animal abuse and to have further powers over their life by the parties involved with the wrongful conviction amounts to totalitarian terrorism. Yes, animal abusers need to be stopped but they need to also be respected as human beings who may need the love of a pet.

Home » Canadian Press » Ottawa's share of health-care funding to be top concern at premiers' meeting in B.C.
Ottawa's share of health-care funding to be top concern at premiers' meeting in B.C.
By The Canadian Press ● Canadian Press ● July 11, 2022 July 11, 2022
A group representing emergency room doctors across the country has a message for Canada's premiers: come up with a co-ordinated plan to prevent their workplaces from being closed due to staffing shortages that are creating an unprecedented crisis in health care.
Dr. Atul Kapur, a spokesman for the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians, said premiers gathering at a meeting in Victoria on Monday and Tuesday need to prioritize the recruitment and retention of health-care professionals, and not just in the short-term.
"We've been sounding the alarm about shortages of physicians and nurses for quite some time," Kapur said, adding the temporary closure of emergency rooms is particularly troubling in rural areas because the next closest ER is often far away.
One of the biggest gaps in the health-care system is the lack of nurses, said Kapur, an ER doctor in Ottawa.
"We recognize that our nursing colleagues are vital, that in (emergency) especially, the stresses on them are even more than they are on us because they bear more of the brunt of patient and family anger than we do."
A lack of nurses on wards means patients who have been admitted to hospital languish in emergency departments, leaving fewer beds available for those stuck in waiting rooms, including people who don't have a family doctor, Kapur said.
Data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information shows admitted patients across Canada waited 38.3 hours in emergency rooms in 2019-2020, up from 29.3 hours five years earlier. The total number of visits spiked to nearly 1.6 million during that time, up from just over 1.1 million.
The figures apply to 90 per cent of patients, and Kapur said 10 per cent waited even longer.
British Columbia Premier John Horgan, chair of the Council of the Federation made up of the country's 13 premiers, has joined his colleagues to call on the federal government to increase its share of health-care spending from 22 to 35 per cent as they try to implement initiatives aimed at improving the system.
Horgan said he met with Justin Trudeau last November when the prime minister visited British Columbia following catastrophic floods. He said he told Trudeau about the premiers' concerns regarding health costs, which will be discussed at their first in-person meeting in three years.
Trudeau committed to assembling a team to work on health funding, but that has not yet materialized, Horgan said in an interview.
"Eight months of what I thought was going to be a concerted effort has produced nothing other than a meeting in Victoria where all of us will gather to express our profound disappointment at the lack of leadership from Ottawa," he said.
Trudeau has said the federal share of spending on health-care transfers would be negotiated after the COVID-19 pandemic winds down.
Horgan, who criticized April's federal budget for not including health funding, said he and his colleagues are ready to address Ottawa's expectations of any accountability measures that would come with more money.
But premiers first need to know what types of "strings" will be attached to it, he said, adding national solutions are needed to deal with problems plaguing provinces and territories.
But Horgan suggested he was not in favour of jurisdictions working together to nationally license health-care professionals, allowing them to work anywhere in the country, because that would amount to "poaching" people after their training has been paid for.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said his province has an ambitious plan to rebuild its health-care system, and the federal government can help by paying its fair share of health funding.
"The premiers have been asking the federal government to come to the table and be a true funding partner," he said in a written statement.
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said that when universal health care was implemented in Canada, it was envisioned as a 50-per-cent split between the federal and provincial governments.
"COVID-19 showed the weaknesses in Canada's health-care system, and we need to address those weaknesses for Canadians," he said in a statement.
Dr. Katharine Smart, president of the Canadian Medical Association, said enabling health workers to be mobile would "alleviate pressure points" as part of one solution to increase resources where they're needed.
"When a universal health system is not able to provide basic health care needs to Canadians, we must accept that it has failed and work together to fix it," she said in a release. "This will take more than simply investing more money."
Linda Silas, president of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions, said some emergency and intensive care departments that would have been staffed by 20 nurses now have half that number.
Legislation in Ontario restricting wages has meant many nurses are leaving to work for agencies so they have flexible hours and a choice of employers, or they're quitting the profession because of poor working conditions, Silas said.
"So, the message I'm trying to give to premiers is: I have never, in 30 years of union work, seen nurses so angry. And they're a tough bunch."
Some premiers have indicated they will focus on other priorities at the meeting.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said during a recent news conference he wants to address issues with Canada's energy supply.
"The No. 1 ask would be to have a very serious look at the policy positions that the government of Canada is taking that are preventing … production of some of the most sustainable energy in the world," Moe said.
Kenney said the premiers will also be discussing internal trade and how they can address the tens of billions of dollars in economic activity lost every year due to barriers put up by provinces.
Canada's "historic labour shortage" is also a concern for Ford. Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson echoed the sentiment, saying lower immigration during the pandemic has contributed to the problem.
"We need the federal government to work with us to tackle the labour shortfall to help ensure our economy remains strong during these challenging times," Ford said in a statement.

Great job, when I was lost as to what to do as well as a bleaque outlook on the future,James, Jerry, and Mathew took over and got my family and me took care of and the future doesn't look as sad. Thank you for the job well done.

I was very pleased with James. He was friendly, and very professional. Everything went smooth and quickly as they possibly could have.
Professional and truly amazing at what they do!
I had the absolute pleasure of having James as my attorney. Matt and Jerry in the office were always such a pleasure to talk to. Mr.Abbott was behind me the whole way threw my trial and got my case dismissed. If anyone needs a good lawyer James abbott is your guy.
James Abbott was kind and understanding, a constant professional. He put me at ease during the most stressful and painful experience of my life. I would highly recommend the Abbott law firm for anyone in need of representation.
I was very happy with the service with Abbott Law firm.

I would recommend James Abbott and his staff to anyone who is in need of a divorce. The staff at Abbott Law Office were very polite and professional during the whole process. They made sure that I understood what the process would be like and walked me through it every step of the way.


One of the main reasons we gather regularly as a church body is to worship God. Jesus reminded us the first and greatest commandment is to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength." Each Sunday morning, we join together for this one single purpose. Through song, action, and word, we worship God. Worship is an activity in which the entire congregation participates. However, there are many ministries which help our worship to be faithful and excellent. Whether working the sound, singing in the choir, playing in the Celebration praise band, ushering, and more, each ministry helps the church to love God more fully. If you are interested in helping to create faithful worship to God, there is a form below naming a variety of ministries in the Worship and Arts area. Please take a few moments to let us know what you are interested in doing and we will contact you about how you can get involved in a particular ministry. Thanks! May the words of our mouths and meditations of our hearts be acceptable to you Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer.
Thanks for being willing to serve in the Worship and Arts area. Please fill out this form and we will get in touch with you shortly.

Influenza Virus Characteristics
Tickly Cough in Children
Post-Flu Symptoms
Written by Shannon Wakeland
The flu can affect people in different ways. For some, it may last only a week or so, but for others it can stick around much longer and may even cause further complications. Some of these complications may be mild, where others can be life threatening if not taken care of properly. Watch for post-flu symptoms and contact a doctor for a follow up exam.
It is common for people to feel weak and fatigued after having the flu. The flu can take a toll on a person, depleting the body of any energy they may have had before the onset of the virus. Fatigue is a common post-flu symptom; however, after a few weeks, the energy levels rise and the person will feel less tired. Be sure to eat a well balanced diet to promote the healing process. Get plenty of rest and drink eight glasses of water a day if possible, to keep hydrated in the post-flu stage.

Coughing is usually a post-flu symptom and may stay around for weeks at a time. If it persists for more than six weeks, it is time to make an appointment with the doctor. The cough is caused from a post nasal drip, a possible result of the flu virus. The coughing can become worse at night or when lying down. Relief may be found in decongestants and antihistamines. Elevating the head while sleeping can help as well.

Nausea and vomiting may be a post-flu symptom. These symptoms may detect Reye's Syndrome, which is common in children who are getting over the flu. The child may also experience mental changes, such as delirium and confusion. Reye's Syndrome is associated with aspirin use, which is often given to children who experience pain and fever relating to the flu. To avoid Reye's Syndrome from developing after the flu, consult a pediatrician before administering aspirin.

Complications can arise from the flu virus itself. If bacteria are present, pneumonia can set in and weaken a person's lungs 2. This can be dangerous, especially in the elderly and those who have a weak immune system. If these post-flu symptoms are present, consult a doctor immediately.

This can be dangerous, especially in the elderly and those who have a weak immune system.
Following the flu, children may develop a wheezing cough, called the croup. Post-flu symptoms of this complication may be a barking cough, mild fever and a runny nose. The tissue around the voice box and airways become swollen, affecting the breathing. A child's airway (windpipe) is narrow and when the airway becomes swollen it may produce a wheezing sound when the child breathes. The croup can be frightening for the parent and the child, however, most times it is not a serious condition 1.

Can I invest directly from my existing retirement account?
All retirement investments in a Rich Uncles REIT require self-directed accounts, so if you currently save for retirement with a self-directed IRA, then yes. If you save for retirement through other common account types (401(k), Traditional IRA, Roth IRA), you would need to transfer your current savings into a self-directed IRA in order to invest.
Where can I open a self-directed IRA?
How long will my investment take to fund?
Investments generally fund within 3-5 business days. If you have to create an IRA or rollover your current retirement savings into a new self-directed retirement account, your funding process may take longer.

These Neurobiological Times and Our Freudian Future
Posted by J Paetkau in Neuroscience, Uncategorized
Neuroscience, Philosophy, Psychoanalysis
Works Reviewed: Adrian Johnston & Catherine Malabou Self and Emotional Life: Philosophy, Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience. New York: Columbia University Press, 2013. 276 pages.
The age of neurobiology has, apparently, arrived. Bookshelves groan, figuratively for the most part, under titles such as The Brain that Changes Itself, Brain Rules, and Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple. The authority of neuroscience has been harnessed into such a diverse range of causes as the fervent opposition to religion (a la Sam Harris), the proof of life after death in Eben Alexander's The Proof of Heaven, and the critique of internet technology in Nicholas Carr's The Shallows. Neuroscience also provides a conceptual framework for more colourful titles, including Oliver Sacks' The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. Literature, too, is well within the province of neurobiology since, after all, Proust was a Neuroscientist. In the television series Alphas the language of neuroscience, rather than genetics, is used to account for the superhuman abilities of its protagonists. The denizens of the self-help genre now frequently include references to neurology or fMRI images in a trend which one reviewer of popular neuroscience books scathingly labelled "brain porn."(Steven Poole, New Statesman)
There have surely been many legitimate advances in our understanding of the human brain over the past years. To sort out the pseudo-scientific from the legitimate claims, and thereby to assess what neuroscience can actually say about human existence, requires thoughtful reflection. It is this task that Adrian Johnston and Catherine Malabou set for themselves in Self and Emotional Life: Philosophy, Psychoanalysis, and Neuroscience. As they draw from the critical wellsprings of the Continental tradition of European philosophy and psychoanalysis they argue that the scope and method of these disciplines are themselves radically challenged, though not necessarily undone, by the findings of contemporary neuroscience. Critical engagement is imperative, particularly given the lack of attention typically paid to the sciences of the mind within the discourses of psychoanalyis and Continental philosophy. Johnston writes:
Nowadays, it simply isn't true that one has to sell one's philosophical or pscyhoanalytic soul in its entirety in order to dance with the neurobiological devil…In fact, over the past half century, scientific matters concerning neuroplasticity, mirror neurons, epigenetics, and newly proposed revisions to Darwinian depictions of evolution, among other topics, have destroyed the caricature of biological approaches to subjectivity upon which the ever more-hollow excuses of a tired old antinaturalism rely, caricatures depicting such approaches as essentially deterministic and reductive.
Johnston and Malabou contend that developments in the neurosciences do change the way we conceptualize the human subject, that is, the self. This changed understanding relates to a redefinition of affective or emotional life. The brain is increasingly understood, not as a logical processing machine, but as the centre of a dynamic, plastic, and inherently emotional life. Malabou identifies it as the center of "a new libidinal economy' and argues that a new conception of affects is emerging. The issue, for Malabou, is whether this new conception will lead to a genuinely different approach to emotions, passions, and feelings. She stages this as a problematic between of knowing whether emotions and affects are to be considered, in the traditional way, as rooted in the "process of auto-affection of the subject" or whether the idea of the emotional brain actually challenges this notion in favour of "an originary deserted subject?" Noting that Continental philosophy, particularly deconstruction, and psychoanalysis have already posed significant challenges to the notion of a subject that is fully present to itself Malabou goes on to ponder whether the findings of neuroscience confirm this conviction or shift it to entirely new ground. Her conviction is quite clearly that a radical change has occurred, although she does not for that reason jettison the work and intuition of her own philosophical tradition and training.
Both Malabou and Johnston seek to triangulate philosophy, psychoanalysis, and neuroscience, and to encourage their readers to reconsider their sense of each of these fields and the possible connections and alliances between them. It is an interdisciplinary work, and one that is clearly regarded by the authors as a preliminary gesture towards reconciliation of fields of study that have typically been characterized by isolation and polemic. Seizing on current interest in a dynamic emotional conception of the brain Malabou and Johnston reconsider the limitations and potential of psychoanalytic work and philosophical wisdom to speak about the emotional life of human subjects.
For Malabou this journey centres around the affect of wonder, and the possibility of its loss. Wonder is first among the passions of the soul, for, "without wonder the subject wouldn't be able to have a feeling of itself." What then, questions Malabou, are we to make of the claim of neurobiologists that brain damage can cause the subject to become completely detached from their own affective life; to lose their sense of wonder while continuing to be biologically alive? The destructive potential of trauma leads Malabou to form her conception of hetero-heteroaffection, that is, a notion of the subject as radically absent to itself.
She does this through a philosophical genealogy that traces through Rene Descartes and Jacques Derrida to the neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, then loops back around through Baruch Spinoza to Gilles Deleuze and Damasio again. Descartes and Spinoza are thinkers whom Damasio has himself written on extensively, with Descartes playing the role of the "metaphysician of presence" and Spinoza the "protoneurobiologist." Derrida and Deleuze are brought in to add some depth to the philosophical history, as well as to avoid a too neat and easy packaging of Descartes and Spinoza. Malabou also contends that although both Derrida and Deleuze, in very different ways, challenged the notion of a subject that is present to itself, they did not envisage the possibility of a complete emotional deprivation that leaves the first-person perspective intact. It is this destructive plasticity, the potential loss of an absolute destruction and loss of a certain part of our psychic and emotional life that drives Malabou's work and her challenge to traditional philosophic concepts and the limitations of psychoanalytic practice. At the same time, she is hopeful that the time has come in which a new materialist philosophy can be constructed, and bridges built between the humanities and biological sciences.
Johnston, for his part, focuses on the affect of guilt and its relation to the unconscious. Through a close reading of Freud and Jacques Lacan, he contends that, although muted and ambiguous, there are indications in both of these thinkers towards a construction of unconscious feelings or misfelt feelings. Johnston contends that guilt is a good candidate for being to practical philosophy what wonder is to theoretical philosophy, that is, "a foundational effect that is a catalyst for the deliberations, decisions, and deeds of concern to philosophy's prescriptions in addition to its wonder-driven descriptions."(77)
It is not, however, for reasons of practical philosophy that Johnston pays attention to the phenomenon of guilt, but rather because it is the one affect which Freud refers to when speculating about the possibility of unconscious affects. Still, the distance between theoretical and practical philosophy is suggestive of the distance between Malabou's challenges to the theoretical underpinnings of psychoanalysis and Johnston's endeavours to show the therapeutic viability of Freudian psychoanalysis, particularly as interpreted by Lacan. While both Freud and Lacan appear to categorically rule out the notion of unconscious affects there remains a certain ambiguity around the feeling of guilt, particularly in Freud's work. Through this ambiguity Johnston works to develop a conception of "misfelt feelings", that is, that the emotions lie, and not only by attaching themselves to inappropriate signifiers. It seems that the subtle inextricability of the emotions, language, and biological being is at stake here, and Johnston makes a powerful case that an encounter between current findings in neuroscience and the theoretical discoveries of psychoanalysis can provide a basis for a rich and dialectically nuanced account of emotional life.
Self and Emotional Life stakes, in fairly bold tones, a provisional encounter between disciplines which often meet under fairly antagonistic terms. They manage to avoid sectarian posturing, for the most part, although the book is clearly written for a readership with at least some background in Continental philosophy, psychoanalytic theory, and developments in neuroscience. Finally beyond the general difficulty of learning the concepts the work is plagued by an irregular syntax, particularly in the section by Johnston, which makes reading rather more difficult than necessary. Overall, however, it remains an important work in providing resources and a framework wherein the findings of neuroscience can be reasonably assessed and interpreted.

Xiaomi probed for misleading consumers in China
Updated Sep 30, 2015 | 12:37 IST | PTI
Chinese smartphone vendor Xiaomi Corp is under investigation for alleged violation of China's new advertising law which bans use of superlative adjectives for promoting products, official media reported today.
Industry regulators have initiated an investigation into the Beijing-based handset maker on suspicion of using phrases including "the best" to describe its products online, state-run China Daily quoted the Securities Daily as saying.
The Haidian branch of the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce said in a statement that its behaviour could violate the country's new advertising law, which bans enterprises from using superlative adjectives, including "the most advanced", in promotions.
Xiaomi is the first Internet enterprise to be probed after the law became effective on September 1, the report said.
The revised legislation is intended to protect consumers from advertisements which overplay and exaggerate product features.
The statement said law-enforcement staff had found evidence of suspect behaviour on Xiaomi's official website after receiving a tip-off from a whistleblower.
Officials from Xiaomi and Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce were unavailable for comment.
This is not the first time Xiaomi has been involved in a deceptive-advertising dispute, the Daily report said.
In August, it launched a new smartphone, the Red Mi Note 2, which was promoted on e-commerce sites as equipped with panels from Japanese electronics giant Sharp Corp and the Taiwan manufacturer AU Optronics Corp.
But consumers found that the gadgets' screens were actually produced by Tianma Microelectronics Co Ltd, which is based in Guangdong province, the report said.
In response, Xiaomi said the information which had appeared on third-party e-commerce platforms was wrong, due to an employee error, and claimed it never said on its own website or at the launch event that the panels were from Sharp or AU Optronics.

His naked body was found in a cell where he had been waiting transfer to a state mental hospital.
Corrections & clarifications: An earlier version of this column misidentified the office that dismissed a whistle-blower complaint. It was the Virginia governor's office.
Jamycheal Mitchell died psychotic and emaciated in a Virginia jail cell a year ago this month, yet local and state officials still have not explained how a healthy 24-year-old African American could suffer a heart defect compounded by starvation without anyone in authority noticing.
Mitchell, who had schizophrenia, was arrested in April 2015 near his family's home in Portsmouth, Va., after he allegedly took a Mountain Dew, Snickers bar and a Zebra cake, worth $5 from a 7-Eleven store without paying. His naked body was found 119 days later in a Hampton Roads Regional Jail (HRRJ) cell, where he had been waiting transfer to a state mental hospital. The 6-foot-tall Mitchell weighed 190 pounds when he was arrested. He had lost 46 pounds in jail, causing the state medical examinor to cite "wasting syndrome" — sudden massive weight lost — as a major contributor to his death.
Mental health advocates, the NAACP and the ACLU have called on the Justice Department to investigate because of the state's failure to explain Mitchell's death. Several state agencies that should have investigated either demurred or claimed they lacked jurisdiction to interrogate jail officials.
That left jail officials to investigate themselves. They did and, less than 10 days after Mitchell's body was discovered, announced they had done nothing wrong. They refused to make that self-serving report public.
Their credibility took a hit after reporters learned that a video camera outside Mitchell's cell could show whether guards regularly fed him and nurses entered his cell. Jail officials said they had taped over that footage because it didn't show any "criminality or negligence." But when Mitchell's family filed a $60 million wrongful death suit that required the jail to hand over records to the court, jailers said they located the missing footage. Even so, they have refused to make it public.
Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe's administration has come under fire, too. One reason Mitchell languished in jail is because a state hospital worker tossed his transfer paperwork into a drawer, where it wasn't found until five days after he died.
State officials delayed releasing one embarrassing report about Mitchell for four months until the Virginia legislature ended its session. Last month, three whistle-blowers filed an 18–page complaint about the Office of the State Inspector General's handing of its Mitchell probe. Among their charges: OSIG investigators didn't visit the jail immediately after Mitchell's death but did a "desk review," simply phoning officials for assurances nothing inappropriate had happened. Sadly, the state's governor dismissed that eye-popping complaint without bothering to interview the whistle-blowers. Local news reporters then revealed that OSIG Director June Jennings failed to disclose in her report that her husband works as a manager at the state hospital the OSIG was investigating, and that the lead OSIG investigator used to be employed there, raising questions about the investigation's impartiality.
Frustration over the McAuliffe administration's failure to fully investigate Mitchell's death led to a local prosecutor demanding the Virginia State Police to step in.
Given that prison populations are declining nationally, but that the number of inmates with mental illnesses is increasing, Mitchell's death and the state's actions are especially troubling.
How did an inmate, who was supposed to be checked every half hour by guards and visited once a day by a nurse, starve in plain sight?
The public and Mitchell's family deserve an answer.
Pete Earley, who lives in Virginia, is a mental health advocate and father of an adult son with a serious mental illness who has been arrested.

Elementary school years set the tone for developing the knowledge, attitudes and skill necessary for children to become healthy, competent and confident learners. Through a comprehensive developmental school counseling program, the counselors collaborate with the school staff, parents, and the community to help all children achieve academic success.
In addition, McMahon houses Spurwink Counselors who work with students one-on-one. We also have one Spurwink Case Manager who provides support to families and links them to community resources. For more information, visit the Spurwink Website.
Attendance at school is essential to your child's educational success. Maine law requires that persons between the ages of 7 and 17 attend school. Absenses need to be identified as excused or unexcused.
In order for an absence to be excused, parents must notify the school, either by phone call or a written note. A student with 7 unexcused absenses is considered truant.
Even as young as Kindergarten, students who miss school can fall behind.
Even just missing 1 or 2 days every few weeks adds up and can make it harder for students to learn and keep up.
When students are absent it can affect the whole class if teachers have to slow down to make sure students can catch up.
Chronic absence is considered 18 or more days of school missed.
Have your child go to school unless he is truly sick.
Sometimes a child complains of a stomach ache or a headache. This can be a sign of anxiety. Please reach out to the counselors and social worker if you believe your child has anxiety about coming to school.
Whenever possible, schedule medical appointments and vacations for when school is not in session.


Lime Light Disco Lighting Screen inc. free carry bag is the perfect frontage for your mobile disco setup. The lycra front cloths can be illuminated from behind to create a host of powerful effects and various lighting patterns. Everything you need is included, the four screens themselves each have a separate lycra cloth and all the fittings required for a quick and easy setup.
Here we have the Lime Light DJ Disco Light Screen in brand new condition and in B-Stock (few minor marks only). The B-Stock versions would have been on display at a training evening or trade exhibition only and will come boxed 'as new' with all accessories and a 1-year warranty.
The screen is great, can't really fault it. However the carry bag doesn't last long as it's not robust enough for on the road. The straps aren't fixed well therefore they rip off. Also the worst thing is the zip as it's not heavy duty enough therefore once that has broken the bag is useless. I have had 2 so far which has lasted me around a year. I'm going to try the Equinox bag as a replacement.
This is a great product, excellent quality and half the cost of other branded alternatives. Sturdy and well finished. Add light fx behind and you have a very professional facade. Super quick delivery too. Would highly recommend.
Great sturdy product, work well with any light positioned behind it. Good quality build and the lycra will be easy to remove for washing or replacing. Quick delivery too. Thank you!
This is a Fantastic product the item came on time. There are so many of these on sale with this you get the same quality as the experience ones without the experience price tag. Would definitely recommend!
Thanks for the screen....really impressed by delivery and quality of purchase. Thanks again....another great product from Why buy new.
Amazing product, fits together easily and comes in a carry case, ideal for that mobile DJ.
Very happy , good and fast delivery thank you !!

OJK Introduces Further Capital-Market Incentives and Relaxations to Counter Covid Turbulence
The Financial Services Authority ("OJK") has once again stepped up to the mark to safeguard the stability of the Indonesian capital markets against the backdrop of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
The financial services regulator's latest intervention comes in the form of Circular No. 20/SEOJK.04/2021 on Further Incentives and Relaxations of Provisions Related to Issuers / Public Companies for the Maintenance of Capital Market Performance and Stability in Response to Corona Virus Disease 2019 ("Circ. 20").[1] The circular, which entered into force on 10 August 2021, is an implementing instrument for OJK Regulation 7/POJK.04/2021.[2]
The key changes introduced by Circ. 20 may be summarized as follows:
A. Extension to Period of Validity of Financial Statements
For the purpose of certain capital markets transactions, such as an initial public offering ("IPO"), rights issue, bond issuance, merger, material transaction or affiliated party transaction, the OJK previously required that the financial statements submitted by the company must have covered a period that ended not more than 6 months prior to the date of the transaction.
For example, financial statements for the period ending December 31 would only be accepted by the OJK for a transaction to be undertaken or approved by company shareholders or the OJK before June 30 of the following year.
This 6-month period has now been extended to 8 months. In the case of an IPO, should financial statements older than 6 months be relied on, the prospectus must also provide the most recent summary of the company's financial data.
B. Extension to Period of Validity of Appraisal Reports
As with company financial statements, the OJK would previously only accept an appraisal report issued no earlier than 6 months prior to a transaction. The 6-month period has now also been extended to 8 months.
C. Extension to Book-building Period
For an IPO, the book-building process was previously capped at a maximum of 21 business days. This has now been extended to 42 business days subsequent to the publication of the abridged prospectus or the issuance of a "pre-effective statement" by the OJK.
D. Postponement of Public Offering Period or Cancellation of Public Offering
Previously, due to circumstances beyond its control, a company could postpone a public offering period by up to 3 months from the date of issuance of the effective statement by the OJK. Under Circ. 20, there is no longer any time restriction on the postponement of a public offering period. A public company may either apply to the OJK for postponement or cancellation. Upon OJK approval for the application, the company must announce the postponement or cancellation to the public.
E. Extension to Deadline for Submission of Periodic Reports
Circ. 20 extends the following deadlines:
Annual financial statements and annual report: extended by 2 months from the previous deadlines (which was 3 months from end of company's financial year for annual financial statements, and 4 months from end of financial year for annual report);
Interim (mid-year) financial statements: extended by 1 month from the previous deadline of up to 3 months from end of company's financial year (depending on whether audited or unaudited); and
Audit Committee's evaluation report: extended by 2 months from the previous deadline of 6 months from end of company's financial year.
F. Extension to Deadlines for General Meetings
Circ. 20 extends the deadline for the convening of a public company's annual general meeting of shareholders by 2 months from the previous deadline of 6 months from the end of company's financial year, while that for a general meeting to approve the resignation of a director or commissioner is extended by 60 days from the end of the previous deadline of 90 days from date of receipt of the resignation letter.
G. Further Relaxation of Private Placement Rules
In the light of the financial difficulties experienced by many companies as a result of COVID-19, Circ. 20 further relaxes the requirements for conducting a private placement[3] by stipulating the following additional circumstances in which it may be undertaken:
Certain financial conditions caused by COVID-19:
current ratio, i.e., current assets divided by short-term liabilities, is less than 110% based on the latest financial statements available to the public;
liabilities exceed 70% of assets based on the most recent financial statements available to the public; and
decrease in income based on the latest annual financial statements compared with that in the previous year's annual financial statements.
A public financial services institution that experiences difficulties, as determined by the OJK;
A Non-HMETD conducted as part of a capital injection by the Government under the National Economic Recovery Program; and/or
The public company is in default of its loan obligations to an unaffiliated lender, or to an affiliated lender in the case of a public company that is owned or invested in by the state.
In addition to than the above, the OJK has discretion to identify other parameters or circumstances in which a Non-HMETD may be undertaken for the purpose of strengthening the finances of a public company that has been weakened by the pandemic.
H. Expansion of E-Reporting and e-Disclosure
The types of reports and information that may be submitted electronically has been expanded to include, for example, supplementary information reports related to a public offering, changes in shareholding reports, and information disclosures related to such actions as acquisitions and tender offers.
I. e-IPO System
Since January 2021, the OJK has required companies conducting an IPO to use the e-IPO system. Unlike the previous manual system, the e-IPO system requires that minimum share allotments be allocated to retail investors. Given that this could undermine the success of an IPO in a situation where, for example, an inadequate number of orders from retail investors has been received, Circ. 20 now allows the OJK to grant a waiver from the e-IPO requirement upon application by the company.
J. Extension of Deadline for Resale of Buyback Shares
Originally, a public company that undertook a share buyback had to resell the shares within 2 years after the end of the permitted 3-year holding period.[4] In circumstances where this is not possible, Circ. 20 now gives the company an additional 1 year ("Hard Deadline") to do so, meaning that it will have a total of 3 years to resell the shares after the end of the 3-year holding period.
Circ. 20 also provides greater flexibility in that periods of significant market turbulence, as determined by the OJK, may be excluded when calculating the Hard Deadline.
The above incentives and relaxations are to continue in effect until further notice.
The OJK is to be commended for the concerted efforts it has made to maintain stability in the Indonesian capital markets since the onset of the pandemic by providing incentives and relaxing certain capital-market requirements. These moves have proved crucial given the unprecedented economic turbulence over the last year and a half, and have helped ensure that the IDX has performed much better than anyone could have predicted in early 2020. As part of this latest round of relaxations, the OJK's decision to allow companies to opt out of the e-IPO system and to further relax the circumstances in which private placements are permitted will be particularly welcome.

Now, I in turn, am going to tag: Peg, Dorothy, Jane, Barb, and Bettina.
Great pictures! Your DD looks awesome in that shawl! I hope you got a good price for it, it's very pretty.
I came over to explain my DD's doll post. What she failed to tell you is that she already has two AM Girl dolls and her dad & I both think that's plenty for a girl who is 10...I mean how many more years is she going to play with these? So last night she came in whining because the doll she wants is back-ordered and if I hadn't already ordered it, chances are she isn't getting it. I told her that I had definately not ordered the doll...so she was a mopey girl for the entire night.
What I didn't tell her was that I did get her a AM Girl mini doll and some other AM Girl stuff.
I'm thinking that she's gotten a bit spoiled because she got the other dolls each year for Christmas...so she's expecting it again. We'll see how disappointed she is.
I finally finished my first knitting piece. It's just casting on, knitting and then casting off. I don't know how to do anything else yet. I need more yarn. I then went and crocheted a few rows on the ends of the piece, which gave it a ruffled look that I'm loving. Course the piece is full of mistakes (dropped & added stitches and the knots from adding new skeins are in the middle instead of at the edges) but it keeps me nice and warm here in the computer room.
Your daughter makes a beautiful model!!!!!
What fun that this has brought up such an interesting photo! Lovely shawl, & daughter!
Aren't daughters wonderful?! As a teen, my daughter was twice the work of either of my boys, but today she is most wonderful woman on this earth. Your daughter is absolutely beautiful and a good sport. I'm smiling because I can only imagine the unrecorded conversations behind those pictures. BTW, the shawl is lovely.
Renee, I had to laugh because I'm in the same boat with my son's Christmas regarding video games; only he's 21!
Are we going to get some pix of your scarf? Treasure it because every knitter's first project has those little "mistakes." But then, we all have to start somewhere!
Barb and Dorothy, thanks! I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Sharon, isn't it a relief when all the blood, sweat, and tears of raising them pay off! By DD is really a good sport and I'm proud of the woman she is.
Leigh, what a lovely daughter. And if she's as nice as her mother, then what a double blessing!
The meme was fun -- and prompted some reflecting.
Now, it's off to my loom! Yes, I actually have a warp on it, and only 111 more threads to thread this morning and the threading will be done. Then sley, tie on, and w e a v e. Oh yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about!

Gaston Edouard Emmanuel Edmond Brenta (Schaarbeek, 10 juni 1902 – aldaar, 30 mei 1969) was een Belgische componist en schrijver.

Levensloop
Als klein jongetje was hij al van plan componist te worden. Hij deed studies bij Paul Gilson. Als leerling van deze meester was hij ook lid van de Brusselse componisten-groep De Synthetisten. Vanaf 1931 werkte hij bij de Radio-Télévision Belge RTB en vanaf 1953 creëerde en organiseerde hij daar de discotheek. Verder leidde hij het Franstalige muziekprogramma.

Brenta speelde ooit 3e bugel in de Muziekkapel van het 4e Regiment Carabiniers toen onder leiding van René Deceuninck.

Hij werd een internationaal componist en jurylid. In 1968 werd zijn Tweede concert voor piano en orkest verplicht gesteld voor de Koningin Elisabeth Wedstrijd in België. Hij was ook lid van de Koninklijke Academie van wetenschap, literatuur en van de schone kunsten van België. Verder heeft hij het Panorama de la Musique belge au XIXe siècle, de Notes brèves sur les symphonies de Beethoven, een gedetailleerd biografie van Paul Gilson en een studie over Adolphe Sax et la facture instrumentale gepubliceerd. Zijn oeuvre omvat rond 50 partituren.

Sebastian + The Boxer
January 15-February 20, 2016.
Laura Taler (Ottawa, ON)
Opening reception: Friday, January 15th @ 8pm.
Laura Taler will be presenting an artist talk on Friday, January 15 @ 7pm in the second floor event space.
The questioning of linear progress is at the centre of Sebastian and The Boxer. For both works Laura Taler re-considers performed actions from a cinematic perspective, collaborating with the creators who originated these actions. Taler adapted Sebastian from musician/composer Charles Quevillon's live performance in Room with Sticks, (created with choreographers Tedd Robinson and Ame Henderson), and The Boxer from dancer/choreographer Bill Coleman's live performance Heartland. By looping repetitive actions, Taler confuses the separation between ending and beginning while suggesting that temporal variations paired with repetitive gestures can create openings for transformation.
Laura Taler is a Romanian-born Canadian artist working across a range of media including performance, film, sound, sculpture and installation. Her work explores how memory and history are linked to movement and how the body is able to carry the past without being oppressed by it. Taler began her career as a contemporary dance choreographer before turning her attention to filmmaking and visual art. She has been a resident at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Centro Cultural Recoleta (Buenos Aires), Carleton Immersive Media Studio, and a fellow at the Institute for Cultural Inquiry (Berlin). Her work has been screened in festivals, special screenings and broadcast internationally. Awards include a Gold Hugo from the Chicago International Film Festival, the Best Experimental Documentary award from Hot Docs!, and Best of the Festival from New York's Dance on Camera Festival. Publications include Tension/Spannung (Turia+Kant, 2010), Revisiting Ephemera (Blue Medium Press, 2011) and Embodied Fantasies (Peter Lang Publishing, 2013). Taler holds an MFA from the University of Ottawa.

Eine Pflanzkelle, manchmal auch Blumenkelle, ist ein ungefähr 30 cm langes Gartengerät, das genutzt wird, um Löcher zum Einsetzen von Pflanzen in den Boden zu graben. In der Literatur aus der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts ist zu lesen, dass die Geräte Maurerkellen sehr ähnlich waren.

Eine Pflanzkelle bestand früher wie eine Maurerkelle aus einem metallenen Blatt, das über einen geschwungenen Stiel mit dem Holzgriff verbundenen war. Während das Blatt bei der Maurerkelle eben ist, werden heute nur noch Pflanzkellen mit geschwungenem Blatt angeboten. Meist ist dieses fast gerade aus einem Stück mit dem Griff und dieser ist mit einem Handschutz aus Plastik versehen. Nur höherpreisige Modelle sind auch heute noch mit einem Holzgriff versehen.

Vor der Mechanisierung der Landwirtschaft waren Pflanzkellen gebräuchliche Werkzeuge in der Landwirtschaft, um Feldfrüchte wie Färberkrapp, Weber-Karde, Tabak, Rüben und andere nach der Anzucht auf den Acker zu versetzen. Dazu gab es in Fachbüchern detaillierte Anleitungen zur Benutzung, in denen beispielsweise stand, mit welchem Bein wo gekniet werden sollte und von welcher Seite ein Helfer die Pflanzen anreichen sollte.

Heute werden Pflanzkellen nur noch im Gartenbau benutzt. Die mit 6–8 cm breitem Werkzeugblatt versehenen Geräte werden hauptsächlich für Arbeiten in beengten Verhältnissen wie Blumenkästen, Blumentrögen oder kleinen Beeten zum Pflanzen von Stauden, Sonnenblumen und Zwiebelpflanzen verwendet. Der Vorteil ihres Einsatzes im Vergleich zum Pflanzholz ist, dass auch in tieferen Schichten genug Freiraum für die Wurzeln geschaffen werden kann und dass genug gelockerte Erde für ein optimales Pflanzbett zur Verfügung steht.

Trivia
Das Informationsnetzwerk Intellipedia des CIA benutzte als Werbemittel eine stilisierte Pflanzkelle, um Mitarbeiter für erfolgreiches "Gärtnern" des Wikis zu belohnen.

Establishment obituaries have been quick to promote Conquest's credentials as asingularly brilliant scholar who was responsible for revealing the 'horrors' of the USSR. They quietly ignore his strong connections with semi-fascist and anti-communist propaganda organisations, and his deeply contentious use of 'sources' for his allegations that approach outright academic fraud.
Robert Conquest, after Leon Trotsky arguably the chief anti-communist and anti-Stalin propagandist of the 20th century, has died. Naturally, the capitalist media are fawning over him.
A lot could be said about Conquest, but below are some facts (I have checked them) concerning Conquest's most famous bookThe Great Terror.
Robert Conquest has been identified as having worked for the Information Research Department (IRD) from when it was set up until 1956. The IRD (originally called the Communist Information Bureau) was a British foreign office section set up in 1947 [under the Labour government of Clem Attlee] whose main task was tocombat communist influence throughout the world by planting fabricated stories among politicians, journalists and others in a position to influence public opinion.
'In 1980, I interviewed Professor John Hazard of Columbia University, at the time the world expert on Soviet law. Hazard told me that people in the Soviet studies field had told him that British intelligence was still doing Conquest's research for him.
Conquest later retracted his view that Stalin had deliberately caused the famine. I have the quotation from him in my bookBlood Lies.
'As a graduate student from 1965-69, I opposed the US war in Vietnam. At one point, somebody told me that the Vietnamese communists could not be the 'good guys', because they were all 'Stalinists', and "Stalin had killed millions of innocent people".
'I remembered this remark. It was probably the reason that in the early 1970s I read the first edition of Robert Conquest's book The Great Terror when it was published. I was shaken by what I read!
'I should add that I could read the Russian language since I had already been studying Russian literature since high school. So I studied Conquest's book very carefully. Apparently, no one else had ever done this!
Conquest's works contain lots of footnotes, which are intended to fool the educated but naive reader. But those same footnotes made it possible for me to discover that Conquest used phoney evidence and neverproved any of his anti-communist, anti-Stalin claims.


A look back at some of the reports that made headlines from Smart Politics in 2014.
Democratic gubernatorial winning streaks against the GOP have set or matched record highs in New Hampshire, Oregon, Washington, and California.
Three fell in 2014 and more than half of all defeated U.S. Senators over the last 100 years have been in their first term; at least one first-term incumbent has lost reelection in 47 of the 51 election cycles during the direct election era.
Did Jeb Bush Wait Too Long to Run for President?
It has been 150+ years since the last time there was a 14-year gap between a presidential candidate's last legislative or executive office electoral victory and a successful White House campaign.
All eyes were on the state's U.S. Senate race in 2014, but Dennis Daugaard quietly orchestrated the biggest gubernatorial victory in the state's 125-year history.
The Michigander served alongside 86 percent of all female U.S. Representatives elected to the chamber through the 113th Congress.
The rate of gubernatorial candidates elected without the support of a majority of voters is at its highest level since the 1910s.
Despite losses by Mary Landrieu and Kay Hagan this cycle, female U.S. Senators have been reelected to the chamber at nearly the same rate (84 percent) as males (87 percent) over the last quarter-century.
