Shinji Imaoka's "Underwater Love" gets a poster and a premiere at 10th Tribeca Film Fest
by Chris MaGee
The 10th annual Tribeca Film Festival is just days away, as is North America's first look at Shinji Imaoka's musical pink film "Underwater Love". The supernatural erotic film directed by the man who brought us such breakthrough pink films as "Lunchbox" and "Frog Song" has been hotly anticipated not only because it features singing and dancing, but because it was shot by revered cinematographer Christopher Doyle. This film has also been something the blogging community has been waiting for as author, programmer and Midnight Eye co-founder Tom Mes and former Nippon Connection programmer Alex Zahlten both worked on polishing the script written by Imaoka and Fumio Moriya. The film tells the story of a female fish factory worker named Asuka who must choose between her life with her husband (and foreman of the factory) and her discovery that her high school sweetheart who drowned at the age of 17 is now a mythical kappa, half human/ half turtle, who lives in a nearby pond.
No trailer has shown up yet in advance of the "Underwater Love" screenings at Tribeca, but a new theatrical poster has popped up online and you can check it out at Jason Gray's blog here. The 2011 Tribeca Film Festival runs from April 20th to May 1st in New York City. You can check out ticket availability and screening times for "Underwater Love" at the fest's official site here.

Toyota FCV Plus hydrogen concept car reveals the automaker's vision of the future
under automotive, Electric Cars, Green Transportation, News
by Marc Carter
Although electric cars have become more popular over the last few years, there are some automakers that still don't believe that electric cars are the long-term answer to reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. Toyota is clearly one of those automakers, focusing instead on hydrogen fuel-cell cars as a more viable solution. This fall Toyota's first fuel-cell vehicle, the Mirai is scheduled to arrive, but Toyota is already thinking about the future with the new FCV Plus fuel-cell concept that is going to debut later this month at the Tokyo Motor Show.
According to Toyota, the FCV Plus concept embodies Toyota's vision of a hydrogen-based society. Its futuristic shape is a major departure from the Mirai, although some of the Mirai's DNA has translated to the concept – look at those large air intakes. Unlike the Mirai, the FCV Plus is powered by four in-wheel electric motors and a fuel cell stack that sits between the front wheels. Since the fuel-cell stack sits out front, there's more room in the interior.

Inside the FCV Plus's interior is even more futuristic. The FCV Plus does without a conventional dashboard and instead a head-up display projects all of the vehicle's vital information on the windshield. Toyota hasn't announced any production plans for the FCV Plus concept, but hopefully its technology, like the in-wheel electric motors will one day show up on one of its production vehicles.

I uploaded an excel spreadsheet on Github with a table of achievable air transmission rates for the RFM12B radios, including code instructions for my RFM12B library.
You can tweak these to achieve better range or better penetration. It's hard for me to provide specifics since in my case the default 38kbps works well. This guy on the jeelabs forum achieved much better reception by lowering the kbps to ~9kbps in his environment.
If you use this and get interesting results, I'd love to hear about it.

« Liquor in Church? Not in Maryland.
How Does Your Church Rank?
As many as 100 incognito church reviewers will descend on London churches on April 24. It's part of the "Mystery Worshipper" series by online magazine ShipofFools.com.
Where would your church stand if judged by an anonymous visitor's first impression?
I recently went to St Peter's church in Kennington, S. London. I am not a believer but was enticed by a flyer promoting a talk by the Archbishop of Canterbury. My (Muslim) girlfriend came too.
When we arrived it became clear it wasn't a talk, but a church service. We felt tricked. My girlfriend walked out.
Is this a legitimate church marketing strategy? Or, were we naive for not realising it would be a service?

Ozil: I'll be at Arsenal at least until 2021
Mesut Ozil has been a key player at Arsenal for quite some time now, his arrival in 2013 was supposed to mark the start of a new era. While he had some scintillating games and memorable moves at Emirates, his stint in London is inconsistent, to say the least. He had truly high highs as a Gunner, but is now certainly facing his lowest low at the club. The Germany international has featured in just two games under Unai Emery this season.
The fact that Ozil only played one game in the Premier League, 71 minutes of it, has raised strong questions about the 31-year-old's future at Emirates. But he is now on record saying he will honour his contract.
"I have a contract until the summer of 2021 and I will be staying until then. When I signed the new deal, I thought about it very carefully and said it was one of the most important decisions of my footballing career. I didn't want to stay for just one or two more years, I wanted to commit my future to Arsenal and the club wanted me to do the same. You can go through difficult times, like this, but that is no reason to run away and I'm not going to. I'm here until at least 2021," said the man who played in 24 PL games for Arsenal last season.
A post shared by Mesut Özil (@m10_official) on Sep 23, 2019 at 6:30am PDT
In his six full seasons in North London, the creative midfielder played more than 26 league games just twice. In 2018 Ozil was missing from the squad due to health issues in seven different time periods. The frequency and timing of missing out games to sickness and pain made some Arsenal fans question whether he was faking in order to skip some matches.
"I also get really frustrated when I miss a game through illness and people question if it is genuine. Yes, it happened a few times - usually in the winter - but what am I supposed to do? If you knew me, you would know it takes a lot for me to miss a game and I have never used sickness as an excuse. Actually the opposite. I played many games when I was ill or had injuries. Most players don't play when injured or sick - it influences your game, you can't give everything - but I was always available unless it was impossible," explained Ozil.
Ozil started his career in Schalke 04, before moving to Werder Bremen and from there to Real Madrid for which he played for three full seasons. He played 32 or more La Liga games in each of those seasons.


What does Dream Of Noah mean in dream?
(God's prophet Noah, upon whom be peace.) In a dream, God's prophet Noah (uwbp) represents longevity, adversities, sufferings, triumph, children from a disgraceful wife, though one will remain content and grateful to God Almighty for His gift. It is said that one who sees the prophet Noah (uwbp) in a dream will become a scholar, an assiduous worshipper and an obedient servant who exercises patience and forbearance. He will also triumph over his enemies and receive a magnificent endowment from his Lord. His companions will disobey him and by God's leave, he will win over them too. Seeing God's prophet Noah (uwbp) in a dream also means rain and floods. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means suffering from many enemies, and from the jealousy and envy of one's neighbors. At the end, they will all suffer from God's punishment, and he will be saved from their evil. Seeing God's prophet Noah (uwbp) in a dream also signifies the destruction of the unbelievers and the victory of the believers.
If one sees him in a ship in a dream, it means that such a ship will escape from destruction, or that all its people will be saved from drowning. Seeing God's prophet Noah (uwbp) in a dream also means facing a strong army of unbelievers, their blatant attitudes, their verbal and physical abuse of the believers, and their unrestrained persecution of the physically weak among them. It also denotes the weakness of people's faith and their lack of trust in God Almighty. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means spending a lifetime in devotion and servitude to one's Lord, commanding good and forbidding evil.
If a ruler sees God's prophet Noah (uwbp) in a dream, it means that his subject will disobey him. Seeinghim (uwbp) in a dream also means crying and lamentation, disputes with one's family, rising prices, relief from distress, adversities and having recalcitrant children. Seeing him in a dream also represents a flourishing business, farming, a ship building industry, travelling with several types of food, or mixing different species of animals. God's prophet Noah (uwbp) in a dream also may represent a genealogist, a zoologist, a botanist, a phytologist, a horticulturalist, an ecologist, or a mammalogist. Seeing God's prophet Noah (uwbp) in a dream also may mean regretting something, distress, penitence for an attitude toward one's own family, or perhaps that one's son will stray away from God's path, or it could mean the death of a son because of his disobedience to his father.

This Week on Audiosurf Radio – 3/31 – Variety Pack Edition
Posted by Craig at 7:22 AM
You know the Sam Adam's Summer Pack? Or Woodchuck's Variety Pack? This week's lineup is kind of like one of those. Are you an indie pop fan? We've got you covered. A jazz fan? We've still got you covered. Do you regularly take E and grind against strangers in dimly lit clubs? We've got two songs for you!
This week's indie pop comes from the Texas duo Julandrew. Yes, it's a husband and wife name Julie and Andrew. Quirky, right? JP Mounier, a 70-some-year-old Frenchman, provides the jazz with a piano/bass/drum trio. His blog begins rather existentially: "Je suis pianiste de jazz en fin de carrière" – I am a jazz pianist at the end of my career. Show the man some love. And then there's Pretonika, a Hungarian techno artist who may or may not have a ginormous chin.
Read on to see which of this variety pack's flavors you'll be finishing first and which you'll leave in the fridge 'til your friends drink them.
I don't particularly know why I enjoyed this ride so much. The Steep tag helps, as I'm pretty sure the simple instrumentation would not generate much of a track without it. There's a buoyancy to Julandrew's stuff. It's similar to what you might find on a Zack Braff compilation CD. Warm vocal harmonies sound over a matter-of-fact melody, lending profundity to the sense of detachment. When she sings "Maybe I'm just crazy," it's not a worry or an expression of craziness - it's an acceptance. A fact. This vibe is all over today's indie-pop scene, and Julandrew's done a decent job drawing from that well. As for the ride, the bounce in the lulling strum of the guitar ripples the track like a rug being shaken out. It doesn't stray too much from this rhythm, but again: simplicity. Two weeks ago, Andrew commented that he prefers to use Audiosurf as a means by which to chill out. "Crazy As" should help you do just that.
If you're a regular reader, you know I think jazz definitely has its place on Audiosurf. One thing to note for "Blanc Bleu," I'm not sold on this one musically. It's a little too modern, a little too easy-listening. However, the advent of the Steep tag (and its increasing ubiquity on Radio) has made a famously intimate genre into a ride-worthy one. Especially in small ensembles like this song's trio, the musicians are extremely attuned to one another. With a heavy traffic flow, the effect is something like playing parts of each instrument at all times. Three notes from the rising bass line, accents from the drum kit, followed by a run of sixteenths from the piano. If this song isn't your cup of tea musically, use the ride as a gateway drug to further jazz enjoyment. I beg of you. Just look at this song's banging bass solo opening. Underneath the fretwork, the drummer keeps a steady quarter-note pulse on the hi-hat, occasionally tossing in an extra hit or flourish to mix it up. While the opening mainly consists of blue traffic, the flourishes spawn red blocks. Sometimes it's the little things Audiosurf does that make me smile. And pay attention about two-thirds of the way through. I encountered a flurry of red specials – two lightning bolts and a paint – all in a row. I'm not sure what caused it, but it vanished like a pleasant dream: by the time I realized it was happening it was gone.
This song is over eleven minutes long. Don't ignore that going in. Be prepared to sink over ten minutes into a techno song practically written for Audiosurf. It's got slow uphill sections that challenge you to make meaningful chains out of low-point blocks. It has mild downhill sections. It's got downhill sections that'll break the speedometer. If you tried "Crazy As" and said, "I don't want to relax, goddammit. I want to ride," then you've come to the right song. But don't expect Mortal Kombat-style techno. None of that high-testosterone, oily-muscled fight music here. This is smoother. Pulsing, of course, but low on the aggression. Toss in a mid-ride bank in the track that feels like an X-Games event and you're set. There's just no way I can tell you not to play this song.
Other selections
Second songs from both Julandrew and Petronika were included this week. Both share qualities with my recommendations, but fail to deliver as fully as their counterparts. In Julandrew's "Without You," I hear shades of The Flaming Lips and Sufjan Stevens (complete with a horn section toward the end). It lacks the Steep tag given to "Crazy As," so if you're into this type of music and want a more low-key ride, give it a shot. Petronika's "Afterlife" is also a long techno track. But at 6:35, it's only just over half the length of "Fly Away." It's a fun ride, and I particularly enjoyed the latter half. Still, I'm sure you'll be technoed out after giving "Fly Away" a ride. I know I was.
All songs were played on the Pro difficulty using the Eraser and Vegas characters. I was a little crunched for time this week and didn't get to do the Expert experimenting I planned on. I did, however, give "Blanc Bleu" a brief try on Expert Eraser. But that song is so damn bumpy and busy that I couldn't go long without constantly overloading my columns or just erasing everything so I could stay alive. Neither of those are conducive to points…

I recently hosted my first wedding photography workshop at the beautiful Landtscap, just outside Stellenbosch. Landtscap is a premium wedding venue which I believe to hold similar brand values to my own, which made it the perfect venue for the event!
I called the workshop "Being Beautiful" as I feel that this resonates with my own brand – I always strive to create beautiful portraits and moments of my clients! The workshop was very much geared towards finding your own voice in an over flooded market and creating a niche that serves you and your clients. Anzel from White Kite Studio was kind enough to offer to be a guest speaker at the workshop. She spoke extensively about branding and left us with a phrase that I simply love; "Your vibe attracts your tribe".
I am ever so grateful to everyone involved (credits at the bottom if the post) for the valuable contribution they made to my workshop, making it a success! Izette from Leipzig and Landtscap – THANK YOU for collaborating and creating, and allowing us to "be beautiful" in your space! Tammy, you are also a star! Corle – Always willing to collaborate and create! LOVE your work!
A HUGE thank you to one of my closest friends; Marsel Roothman for being the greatest assistant, helper and overall happy gal that a photographer could need! If anyone is looking for a great photographer in Gauteng – Marsel your person!
Thank you for this excellent workshop and being willing to share your knowledge. It was a real eye-opener.
Wow, Love the pics! Thank you for such an amazing workshop and thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge!
Well done Wesley! Gorgeous styling. Can see that it was a huge success!

In short, diabetes mellitus is a lack of insulin production by the body. It is unknown exactly what causes diabetes, but it is primarily thought to be a combination of genetics and bad luck. In certain breeds and body conditions (obesity) diabetes is more common. Insulin carries sugar or glucose from the blood vessels into our cells, thus no insulin leads to high blood glucose.
All dogs diagnosed with diabetes will require insulin injections for the remainder of their lives, as well as diet changes and control of body weight/ obesity. The key to diabetes control is consistency of insulin injections, monitoring the patient's blood sugars to ensure that the diabetes is well controlled, and consistent feedings of an appropriate diet. Treatment of diabetes in dogs is not a cheap endeavor, with costs of food, insulin, monitoring and supplies, and medical care, the average diabetic dog will cost the owner approximately 2000-3000$ over the life of the pet. Additionally, dental care is even more important in diabetic patients, as the bacteria in the blood stream from poor dental health and higher blood sugars ca n create more health effects and make regulation more difficult.
Insulin: We recommend Vetsulin in dogs, as research has shown that it is the most consistent product for dogs. Vetsulin is a U-40 insulin (meaning that there are 40 units of insulin per ml of Vetsulin), thus it requires special syringes that are also U-40. Human insulin syringes should NEVER be used as they are U-100 and DO NOT provide the same dose of insulin.
Monitoring: All dogs will require blood sugar checks to determine how well the blood sugars are being controlled. In general, home testing is better, as the patient is less stressed, the costs to the owner are lower, and excellent control can be obtained. We recommend use of the Alpha Trak glucometer, as it is specifically designed for use on pets. The glucometers are available through River City for at home testing, the values can be called into the clinic, and a doctor will call with recommendations on what to do next. The phone consultations will be charged for the doctor's time and expertise at $19.30. Some owners and some patients are not willing or able to pursue home blood glucose testing, and will require in hospital monitoring of blood sugars.
After the first week of insulin treatment, the patient will need blood sugars obtained just prior to insulin/ food administration and 6 hours later either at home or in the hospital to determine if control of blood sugars are close to normal. If the sugars are still significantly out of normal, adjustment may be made to insulin dose.
Generally, 2 weeks later (3 weeks after diagnosis) a full glucose curve will need to be performed at home or in the clinic. A sugar is obtained just before the food and insulin are given, and then generally every 2 hours through the course of the day to allow full evaluation of how well the sugars are regulated, to see the high and low points of blood sugar, as well as how well the insulin is working.
In most cases with dogs, 2-3 curves are required to get a diabetic dog fully controlled. Once a patient is regulated, approximately twice monthly a blood sugar should be obtained before food and insulin to assure that sugars are being controlled. If the value is under 100 (mg/ dl), or over 200 (mg/ dl) you should contact the doctor.
Insulin Shock: if a patient gets too much insulin, the blood sugars can become dangerously low. If your dog appears drunk or wobbly, weak, but still alert, try to get your pet to eat or administer Karo syrup, honey or even sugar water by mouth to increase blood sugars. In severe cases, low blood sugar can cause seizures or coma, and the pet should be taken to the vet or emergency clinic immediately.
Diet: The most appropriate diets for dogs that have diabetes are high fiber, low in simple sugars, and moderately restricted in fat and protein. The high fiber foods help to control weight, help the patient feel more full/ satisfied, and helps with how fast sugar enters the bloodstream (fiber is a complex carbohydrate rather than simple sugar). We recommend Hill's Science Diet W/D food as the most appropriate food for diabetic dogs. It can be fed as dry food, canned food or a combination of both. If your dog won't eat the new food, consider returning to the previous food, as it is important for your dog to eat. Then perform a gradual change to the new diet, adding in approximately 10% of the new food daily until the food can be fully changed over to the new diet.
Generally, feeding should be performed in the following way: the patient should be fed twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart, the food should be offered and eaten, and then 15-30 minutes later the insulin should be administered.
-If no food is eaten, DON'T GIVE INSULIN!
-If half the food is eaten, give half of normal dose.
snacks. If you must give your dog snacks, good treat options include baby carrots, snap peas, broccoli, cauliflower, canned pumpkin, tofu, or even freeze dried meat products, and still in limited quantities.

Visceral larva migrans is a syndrome characteristically involving children with a history of pica, and usually presents with fever, abdominal pain, tender hepatomegaly, and hypereosinophilia. Hepatic granulomas of visceral larva migrans are rare in adults. We describe three adult patients with hepatic lesions which on histopathology demonstrated characteristic granulomas of visceral larva migrans. All patients had abdominal sonograms and two had additional MR scans of the liver. Both ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated characteristic appearances which have not been described previously (viz., ill-defined central necrotic areas surrounded by concentric thick walls and perifocal edema in the liver parenchyma).

Mayor Hillary Schieve touts 'big wins' in Reno's battle to ease the ongoing housing crunch
Two-term mayor says the city could do a better job of highlighting efforts to combat affordability crisis
Mayor Hillary Schieve touts 'big wins' in Reno's battle to ease the ongoing housing crunch Two-term mayor says the city could do a better job of highlighting efforts to combat affordability crisis Check out this story on rgj.com: https://www.rgj.com/story/news/politics/2019/09/04/schieve-touts-renos-housing-policy-successes/2217730001/
James DeHaven, Reno Gazette Journal Published 9:35 p.m. PT Sept. 4, 2019 | Updated 10:10 a.m. PT Sept. 5, 2019
Negative rhetoric surrounding fast-rising eviction rates and a spiraling affordability crisis has overshadowed many of Reno's "big wins" on the housing front, Mayor Hillary Schieve told a town hall audience on Wednesday.
The two-term mayor, speaking during a housing forum first promised in February's State of the City address, opened the event by highlighting many of Reno's recent marketing and economic development triumphs.
She then reeled off a litany of steps the city's taken to encourage new development, many of which are now being promoted on a new website launched just hours ahead of the event.

Reno, Schieve said, approved the addition of some 7,000 housing units, including an estimated 2,500 affordable units, between January 2017 and June 2019.
One of the biggest remaining challenges, she added, is those who don't want new construction in their backyard.
"Housing doesn't just pop up overnight," she told a crowd of around 200 people gathered for the two-hour event at Renown Regional Medical Center's Mack Auditorium. "If I could wave that magic wand, I would wave it and pull out housing.
"We want to stabilize rents, we want to put out more product. But it's tough when you say 'don't build it here.'"

Schieve fielded few tough questions during the event, which was dominated by a lengthy, and largely friendly, back-and-forth between the mayor and a seven-member panel of developers and building officials.
The lone flashpoint came after Schieve pivoted to what's fast becoming a favorite topic: The ripple effects from multibillion-dollar state tax breaks doled out to companies like Tesla, Amazon and Apple.
"I'm frustrated when they give away billions in tax incentives without thinking about how we're going to build the housing," she said. "I really believe we needed a (economic development) catalyst, but when do we talk about housing and infrastructure?
"Local government, I feel, was not at the table."
Bruce Breslow, a top administrator under former Gov. Brian Sandoval and one of Wednesday night's panelists, argued the deals were needed to help drag the Silver State out of the Great Recession.
He seemed to suggest Schieve, who raised similar concerns during a recent interview with Nevada Newsmakers, had engineered the give-and-take.
"You wanted to have this exchange, I know," he said with a smile.

Other panelists went on to express major misgivings when an audience member asked about the possibility of imposing rent controls in the Biggest Little City.
They said officials should cut down on red tape before taking steps that they fear would actually harm low-income renters and homebuyers.
"Maybe government is part of the problem," said Ken Krater, a Reno-based housing consultant. "(Building codes) are absolutely out of control.
"I would challenge all the elected officials in this room to get all the code officials in one room … because at some point in time, we stopped doing a cost-benefit analysis."
Schieve deferred her own response on the rent control question to Sparks state Sen. Julia Ratti, the unofficial dean of housing issues at the Legislature.
Ratti, who attended the town hall as audience member, passed the issue right back.
"What I believe is that local governments should have the power to make those kind of decisions," Ratti said. "You have to be careful about disincentivizing building, but you also have to have justice."
Schieve hinted at the possibility of holding future housing forums, depending on the feedback from Wednesday's event.

How Employers Are Wasting Time And Money To Recruit New Hires
A new survey finds that communication channels are broken or unused as resources are invested elsewhere.
[Photo: Flickr user Frank Boston]
By Lydia Dishman 3 minute Read
It's a jobseekers' market, thanks to the confluence of low unemployment and company growth across industries. With over 100 occupations in the U.S. currently posting more jobs than actual hires month over month, according to CareerBuilder, the war for talent is on.
So you would think employers would be scrambling to figure out the best ways to lure talent, especially considering that millennials who will make up 75% of the workforce in the next decade are itching for their next career opportunity. Deloitte found that 44% of millennials say, if given the choice, they would like to leave their current employers in the next two years.
Unfortunately, employers aren't quite stepping up according to the findings in the latest Candidate Experience report from the Talent Board, a nonprofit research organization for the recruiting industry.
The report suggests that while the majority of organizations are investing in better talent acquisition strategies, such as using social media like LinkedIn to better engage candidates, the researchers say, "In some cases, they are ignoring the most basic aspect of engaging talent–consistent communication."
This trend was one of several important takeaways to come out of 2015's annual survey, in which the Talent Board analyzed data from more than 100,000 people who applied for jobs at 185 North American companies, including many of whom weren't ultimately hired.
Although most companies send an immediate "thank you" to the candidate when they receive an application, only 40% of recruiters respond at all. This may be due to the number of applications–an average of 200 per job opening, according to the report. Nearly half of candidates say they never got an application status update, or were told why the employer asked for information on gender, race, and ethnicity. Nor did the employer offer the option to save their application for a later date.
This is in spite of the fact that companies have multiple ways to engage and communicate with candidates. Seventy-six percent of candidates do their own research before applying, including looking on companies' websites. Fifty-five percent of job hunters also reported already having a relationship with the company they'd like to work for, either as an existing customer, through an internship, etc. Both suggest that companies could leverage those connections, either through technology (data tracking, loyalty programs) or through personal outreach, but they aren't.
Instead, they are spending time, money, and other resources on tactics that aren't necessarily netting the best candidates. Among the more wasteful practices from the report:
Using job boards: Even though candidates are relying less on job boards, organizations have increased their investment in this sourcing tool from 37% in 2014 to 45% in 2015.
Sourcing ahead of need: Eighty-eight percent of employers are allowing more applicants to complete the application even after they fail screening questions.
Not asking about job-specific skills: While over 80% of candidates answer general screening questions during the application process, only 50% are asked for job-specific skills, and less than one-third are asked to take assessments.
Another place employers are investing in is mobile. In 2013, Fast Company reported that over 10 million workers searched for jobs on their mobile devices, and 31% of Google searches for "jobs" also came from mobile, making recruiters stand up and take notice.
But searching and actually following through with an application on the phone are totally different things. According to the Talent Board, 69.2% of employers had a mobile-enabled recruiting system, and the rest were considering it, up from 68.6% in 2014.
The disconnect? Out of the 20,614 candidates surveyed who were asked if they used a mobile device to apply for a job, only 10.1% of them said they had.
As many as 95% of companies admit to recruiting the wrong people each year.
Cleaning up their channels and communicating more effectively could help recruiters and hiring managers in the coming year. Currently, despite best practices and concerted efforts, as many as 95% of companies admit to recruiting the wrong people each year, according to research commissioned by Glassdoor from management consultancy the Brandon Hall Group. What's more, over a third of organizations reported being unaware of how costly that mistake can be.
In the hiring phase alone, taking into account the cost of advertisements and recruiters, combined with the cost of technology and the interview process itself, employers can spend anywhere from nearly $750 for an entry-level hire to almost $3,800 for an executive placement, according to the Brandon Hall research. Factor in the business metric of giving the job to the wrong person in terms of productivity, performance, and team morale, and it adds up to a very costly mistake that can be avoided if the right measures are taken up front.

Jacksonville Hops 6, Diamond Dream Mustangs 4
Submitted by Lou Hancock, Hops manager
The Jacksonville Hops, previously the Jacksonville Vikings, have played in every Holiday Classic and have never missed one. We've followed this event from Disney's Wide World of Sports to Kissimmee and in the last two years to Viera, therefore becoming a tradition for our group. Our guys always look forward to getting on the field after a few months of being cooped up. Although we always compete, it has been a while since we've won a championship.
Our success was truly a team effort but our pitching staff deserves kudos. We played five complete games with four pitchers. Louis Tahernia pitched 15 innings and was selected our most valuable player. I believe tournament director Gary D'Ambrisi said it best at the awards presentation…'who would had thought that we would still be playing competitive hardball at our age and have the opportunity to build relationships with others that love the game from around the country.'
Thanks to the MSBL team for making it happen!

Ayn Rand's literary theory is capable of significant development and extension. Particularly worthy of study are relationships between literary principles and literary practices, such as the creation of implicit or explicit patterns of meaning, the use of common experience and common sense, the provision of cognitive and emotional transformation, the application of control devices to guide readers' understanding, and the assessment of literature in respect to standards of truth and taste.
Tench coxe and the right to keep and bear arms, 1787-1823.David B. Kopel & Stephen P. Halbrook - unknowndetails
Tench Coxe, a member of the second rank of this nation's Founders and a leading proponent of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, wrote prolifically about the right to keep and bear arms. In this Article, the authors trace Coxe's story, from his early writings in support of the Constitution, through his years of public service, to his political writings in opposition to the presidential campaigns of John Adams and John Quincy Adams. The authors note that Coxe described the (...) Second Amendment as guaranteeing an individual right, and believed that an individual right to bear arms was necessary for self-defense and hunting, as well as for militia purposes and protection against oppression by large standing armies. The views of this important Founding Era political commentator and public servant inform the ongoing Second Amendment debate. The authors argue that Coxe's depiction of an individual right to bear arms encompassing hunting, self-defense, and the public militia power supports the "Standard Model" of the Second Amendment prevalent in the legal literature. This Article also discusses Coxe's important role as an economic scholar in early America, and in the creation of the protectionist system of the early Republic, as both an journalistic advocate and as an executive branch official. One of his executive branch positions involved heading the federal government program to give guns to militiamen who could not afford their own. (shrink)

In his essay "Rand, Paterson, and the Problem of Anarchism," which appeared in The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies, Stephen Cox argues that the principles of consent and non-initiation of force on which anarchists rely are too strong, and would require undue violation of the principle of non-sacrifice unless modified. But properly interpreted, these principles do not generate the conflicts that Cox describes, and such modifications as are defensible still do not rule out anarchism; hence Cox's case against anarchism (...) fails.

This response to Roderick T.

Crimson brain, red mind: Yablo on mental causation.Edward T. Cox - 2008 - Dialectica 62 (1):77–99.details
Stephen Yablo offers a solution to the problem of mental causation by claiming that the physical is a determinate of the mental's determinable, and therefore the mental and physical do not compete for causal relevance. I present Yablo's solution and argue that the mental‐physical relation cannot meet three necessary conditions for determination. That relation fails to meet the requirements that determinates of the same determinable be incompatible and that no property can be a determinate of more than one determinable. (...) Further, the mental and physical do not fall under the same series of scope inclusions as determinables and their determinates must. Yablo's conception of determination might be rendered more general to avoid these objections, but doing so would prevent it from functioning as a competitor to extant theories of the mental‐physical relation. Thus, Yablo's solution to the problem of mental causation cannot be both adequately specific and correct. (shrink)

Ethics in the Discipline(s) of Bioethics.Stephen S. Hanson - 2011 - HEC Forum 23 (3):171-192.details
The development of a code of ethics for a profession can be an indicator of the coherence and stability of a discipline as a unique and singular entity. Since "bioethics", as a discipline, is not one profession but many, practiced by persons with not one but many varying responsibilities and training, it has been argued that no code of ethics is possible for the discipline(s) of bioethics. I argue that a code of ethics is possible for bioethics by looking at (...) the nature of the various disciplines and noting necessary overlap between them, and deriving the ethics from the nature of the discipline(s) themselves. I show how this can be done by arguing that strict rules about funding and conflict of interest are necessary for bioethicists. (shrink)
William James's Democratic Aesthetics.Stephen S. Bush - 2021 - Journal of Religious Ethics 49 (1):90-111.details
William James is famous for his investigations of the "Varieties of Religious Experience" in which people encounter (what they take to be) the divine. But in his essay, "On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings," his interest is in our experiences, not of anything purportedly supernatural, but of one another. He thinks we need to cultivate the capacity to apprehend the intrinsic value of others, even and especially of strangers. We do so in experiences of the wonder and beauty of (...) our fellow citizens, and of our harmony with them. Democratic societies require a sense of attraction to one another's form of life if they are to inspire shared commitments to public goods. Whereas we shouldn't reject the political significance of aversion, contestation, and dissonance, these negative attitudes do not suffice. Sustaining democratic engagement requires attractive attitudes, and among these are the wonder, beauty, and harmony that James promotes. (shrink)

Georges Bataille's mystical cruelty.Stephen S. Bush - 2012 - Journal of Religious Ethics 40 (3):551-555.details
In this reply to Kent Brintnall's response to my essay on Georges Bataille and the ethics of ecstasy, I explore two primary questions: whether instrumentalization is inherently violent and non-instrumentalization is inherently non-violent, and whether there is a way to intervene in the world that avoids both "apathetic disengagement" and domination. I endorse the view that instrumentalization can be good as well as bad, and I suggest that it is possible to strive to intervene in the world without striving to (...) master it. I make reference to Sarah Coakley as a Christian theologian who advances particular practices that aim for non-dominating intervention in theworld. (shrink)

Visions of Religion: Experience, Meaning, and Power.Stephen S. Bush - 2014 - Oxford University Press USA.details
Winner of the Gustave O. Arlt Award in the HumanitiesThree understandings of the nature of religion--religion as experience, symbolic meaning, and power--have dominated scholarly discussions, in succession, for the past hundred years. Proponents of each of these three approaches have tended to downplay, ignore, or actively criticize the others. But why should the three approaches be at odds? Religion as it is practiced involves experiences, meanings, and power, so students of religion should attend to all three. Furthermore, theorists of religion (...) should have an account that carefully conceptualizes all three aspects, without regarding any of them as more basic than the others.Visions of Religion provides just such an account. Stephen S. Bush examines influential proponents of the three visions, arguing that each approach offers substantial and lasting contributions to the study of religion, although each requires revision.Bush rehabilitates the concepts of experience and meaning, two categories that are much maligned these days. In doing so, he shows the extent to which these categories are implicated in matters of social power. As for power, the book argues that the analysis of power requires attention to meaning and experience.Visions of Religion accomplishes all this by articulating a social practical theory of religion that can account for all three aspects, even as it incorporates them into a single theoretical framework.

Autonomous vehicles, trolley problems, and the law.Stephen S. Wu - 2020 - Ethics and Information Technology 22 (1):1-13.details
Autonomous vehicles have the potential to save tens of thousands of lives, but legal and social barriers may delay or even deter manufacturers from offering fully automated vehicles and thereby cost lives that otherwise could be saved. Moral philosophers use "thought experiments" to teach us about what ethics might say about the ethical behavior of AVs. If a manufacturer designing an AV decided to make what it believes is an ethical choice to save a large group of lives by steering (...) away from the large group towards a single individual, could the manufacturer be liable to that single individual? I believe the answer is yes. This article discusses famous "trolley problem" thought experiments in moral philosophy, which news articles have recently applied to AVs. After establishing a hypothetical case, applying product liability law to AV behavior may show a way, in some jurisdictions, that will permit a manufacturer to implement an ethical choice without triggering liability, but liability risk remains. I then turn to possible traditional defenses to see if they prevent liability for a manufacturer making what it believes is an ethical design choice—necessity, defense of self, and the sudden emergency doctrine. None of them provides an effective defense. Under current law, maximizing collision avoidance appears to minimize legal risk. I conclude that the only way to provide effective protection to a manufacturer seeking to implement ethical choices about AV behavior is through special legislation or regulation. (shrink)

Divine and human happiness in nicomachean ethics.Stephen S. Bush - 2008 - Philosophical Review 117 (1):49-75.details
presents a puzzle as to whether Aristotle views morally virtuous activity as happiness, as book 1 seems to indicate, or philosophical contemplation as happiness, as book 10 seems to indicate. The most influential attempts to resolve this issue have been either monistic or inclusivist. According to the monists, happiness consists exclusively of contemplation. According to the inclusivists, contemplation is one constituent of happiness, but morally virtuous activity is another. In this essay I will examine influential defenses of monism. Finding these (...) accounts superior to inclusivism, but still deficient, I will present and defend a dualistic account of happiness in which two different types of happiness, one divine and one human, are present in Nicomachean Ethics. When Aristotle commends contemplation as a happiness that humans can attain, he is careful to specify that this activity corresponds to a capacity (nous) that is not, properly speaking, human, even though humans can exercise it. Contemplation, the divine good, is the highest good that humans can obtain, but it is not the characteristic human good. The characteristic human good corresponds to the specifically and merely human function, which is an activity of the compound of human reason and emotions. (shrink)

The constructivist position, that mystical experiences are determined by the experiencer's cultural context, is now more prevalent among scholars of religion than the perennialist position, which maintains that mystical experiences have a common core that is cross-culturally universal.

My aim is not to defend perennialism, but to specify some (...) objections to the constructivist thesis that constructivists need to address more adequately. (shrink)

The ethics of ecstasy: Georges Bataille and Amy Hollywood on mysticism, morality, and violence.Stephen S. Bush - 2011 - Journal of Religious Ethics 39 (2):299-320.details
Georges Bataille agrees with numerous Christian mystics that there is ethical and religious value in meditating upon, and having ecstatic episodes in response to, imagery of violent death. For Christians, the crucified Christ is the focus of contemplative efforts. Bataille employs photographic imagery of a more-recent victim of torture and execution. In this essay, while engaging with Amy Hollywood's interpretation of Bataille in Sensible Ecstasy, I show that, unlike the Christian mystics who influence him, Bataille strives to divorce himself from (...) any moral authority external to the ecstatic episode itself. I argue that in his attempt to remove external authority he abandons the only resources that could possibly protect his mystical contemplation from engendering sadistic attitudes. (shrink)

Evolving Views of Viral Evolution: Towards an Evolutionary Biology of Viruses.Stephen S. Morse - 1992 - History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences 14 (2):215 - 248.details
Despite considerable interest in viral evolution, at least among virologists, viruses are rarely considered from the same evolutionary vantage point as other organisms. Early work of necessity emphasized phenotype and phenotypic variation (and therefore arguably was more oriented towards the broader biological and ecological perspectives). More recent work (essentially since the development of molecular evolution in the 1960's but beginning earlier) has concentrated on genotypic variation, with less clarity about the significance of such variations. Other aspects of evolutionary theory, especially (...) considerations of natural selection and of evolutionary constraints, have not widely been applied to viruses, and an evolutionary framework for virology has long been lacking. This becomes apparent in considering 'emerging' viruses, which have often been treated on an ad hoc basis. It was often felt that, because previously unrecognized viruses are involved, mechanisms of viral emergence must mirror the unpredictability of mutations in the viral genome. However, most examples of viral emergence are independent of mutation, at least initially, and are often pre-existing viruses in changed circumstances ('viral traffic'). This conclusion also readily follows from ordinary Darwinian premises, which would require that, like other living species, 'new' organisms are descended only from existing species. In this respect, from a Darwinian perspective, viruses would appear to resemble other organisms. (shrink)

I argue that both these proposals fail to represent a valid response to skeptical worries. Furthermore, I argue that following Wittgenstein's analogy between 'hinges' and 'rules of grammar' we should be able to get rid of Cartesian skeptical scenarios as nonsensical, even if apparently intelligible, combination (...) of signs excluded from our epistemic practices.

'He didn't want to let his team down': the challenge of dual loyalty for team physicians.Stephen S. Hanson - 2018 - Journal of the Philosophy of Sport 45 (3):215-227.details
ABSTRACTTeam physicians have a complicated job that involves potentially conflicting obligations to multiple entities. Though responsible for the medical care of the athletes as individuals, they also have obligations to the team that employs them which can include returning athletes to play who are at heightened risk of re-injury. The fact that the athletes and owners have some overlapping interests only complicates this issue. Further, there are strong financial incentives to do what is necessary to obtain and keep a position (...) as a team physician. This article examines dual loyalty and conflict of interest in sports medicine, and argues that there is not now a widely accepted or adequate solution to either. Moving toward a solution will require fairly serious changes in the role of the team physician.Abbreviations: FIMS International Federation of Sports Medicine; NFL National Football League; MVP Most Valuable Player; RGIII Robert Griffin, III.

Supermarkets and private standards: unintended consequences of the audit ritual. [REVIEW]Stephen S. Davey & Carol Richards - 2013 - Agriculture and Human Values 30 (2):271-281.details
Recent scholarship has considered the implications of the rise of voluntary private standards in food and the role of private actors in a rapidly evolving, de-facto 'mandatory' sphere of governance. Standards are an important element of this globalising private sphere, but are an element that has been relatively peripheral in analyses of power in agri-food systems. Sociological thought has countered orthodox views of standards as simple tools of measurement, instead understanding their function as a governance mechanism that transforms many things, (...) and people, during processes of standardisation. In a case study of the Australian retail supermarket duopoly and the proprietary standards required for market access this paper foregrounds retailers as standard owners and their role in third-party auditing and certification. Interview data from primary research into Australia's food standards captures the multifaceted role supermarkets play as standard-owners, who are found to impinge on the independence of third-party certification while enforcing rigorous audit practices. We show how standard owners, in attempting to standardize the audit process, generate tensions within certification practices in a unique example of ritualism around audit. In examining standards to understand power in contemporary food governance, it is shown that retailers are drawn beyond standard-setting into certification and enforcement, that is characterized by a web of institutions and actors whose power to influence outcomes is uneven.

Horribly Wrong.Stephen S. Bush - 2013 - Journal of Religious Ethics 41 (4):585-600.details
Moral horror is an extreme emotional response to that which violates things we regard as sacred. In Robert Merrihew Adams's view, horror is a response to badness and not to wrongness, and so one could properly regard some actions as horrible but not wrong. In contrast, I argue that horror, when directed toward actions, is only appropriate for wrong actions. The reason is that horror involves moral disgust, and agents who committed a horrible action would have self-disgust, that is, they (...) would be repulsive to themselves. I argue, with reference to killing in combat and in self-defense, that those who have done no wrong should not be in such a state. (shrink)

The terms deconstruction and différence are central to both Jacques Derrida's work and to poststructuralism generally. These terms attempt to provide an alternative to metaphysical construals of linguistic meaning. I compare Derrida's discussion of linguistic meaning and reference with the contemporary pragmatist, Robert Brandom, arguing that Brandom has important similarities to Derrida. However, whereas Derrida remains committed to metaphysics even as he tries to contest it, Brandom, to his credit, more thoroughly rejects metaphysics.

"More on respect for embryos and potentiality: Does respect for embryos entail respect for in vitro embryos?".Stephen S. Hanson - 2006 - Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics 27 (3):215-226.details
It is commonly assumed that persons who hold abortions to be generally impermissible must, for the same reasons, be opposed to embryonic stem cell research [ESR]. Yet a settled position against abortion does not necessarily direct one to reject that research. The difference in potentiality between the embryos used in ESR and embryos discussed in the abortion debate can make ESR acceptable even if one holds that abortion is impermissible. With regard to their potentiality, in vitro embryos are here argued (...) to be more morally similar to clonable somatic cells than they are to in vivo embryos. This creates an important moral distinction between embryos in vivo and in vitro. Attempts to refute this moral distinction, raised in the recent debate in this journal between Alfonso Gómez-Lobo and Mary Mahowald, are also addressed. (shrink)

Sony's PlayStation (PS) brand is one of the most well known when it is about gaming consoles. The last iteration, PS4 was released back in the year 2013 and was met with a great reception from fans of the brand. It has been long speculated that the company will release a successor to the console, allegedly called the PS5. In an interview with a reputed media organization, a senior Sony executive has revealed the details of the upcoming gaming console. According to the executive, the PlayStation 5 will support 8K graphics and will be backwards compatible to PS4.
According to the Sony executive, the PlayStation 5 will be more than just an incremental update to its predecessor. As mentioned above, the next-gen gaming console will support 8K graphics. However, the users will need to possess compatible display to run games and other media in 8K. Also revealed by him was the PS5 and the PS4 share similar architecture, which would lead to backwards compatibility on the former on the games made for the latter. When the new console launches eventually, the games released will be compatible with both the consoles initially and then may be made exclusive to the PlayStation 5.
More details about the Sony PlayStation 5 reveal a new CPU based on the third-gen AMD Ryzen lineup. For graphics performance, the company will make use of a custom GPU based on the AMD Radeon Navi. This is supposed to bring ray-tracing support for the first time in gaming consoles. Ray tracing is a revolutionary way to deliver better gameplay graphics. It makes use of the way light reflects off surfaces to render realistic graphics and was introduced last year by NVIDIA with its RTX 2080 graphics card.
A monumental change with the introduction of the PlayStation 5 will be the introduction of Solid State Drives (SSDs) in the gaming console. The company claims it will improve load times of certain games drastically; and will deliver speeds never capable from a conventional Hard Drive. Sony will also be introducing a new 3D audio unit inside the console. This is expected to increase the immersive experience while playing the game on speakers or headphones. While the company hasn't announced when the PlayStation 5 will release, it is expected to be unveiled early next year.
