HEALTH BEAT: Who needs a measles booster?
By Andrea Burdon, FNP
Some adults are concerned that their long-ago vaccination against measles may not protect them adequately. But most do not need a booster shot.
Outbreaks of measles and the need for vaccinations have been hot topics in the news lately.
This highly contagious disease has pretty much been "out of sight, out of mind" since it was declared eradicated in the United States in 2000.
But the rise of anti-vaccination fervor, fueled by social media, has led to the reemergence of this potentially serious illness. In one example, a cruise ship is being held under quarantine at a dock in Curacao with more than 300 passengers and crew aboard while health officials wait to see if more become infected due to contact with a sick crew member. While the results of blood tests are awaited, the quarantine could last up to two more weeks, Forbes magazine reported May 6.
You might wonder why it matters if a small sector of the population shuns vaccination. The fact is, it matters a lot.
When you get vaccinated, you're not just protecting yourself, but the people around you — especially those who aren't able to be vaccinated.
"Herd immunity" occurs when a large percentage of the population is vaccinated, making it much harder for a disease to spread. This helps protect the small percentage of individuals in the population who can't receive the measles vaccine, such as children who are less than 1 year old, cancer patients who are receiving chemotherapy or radiation, and those with HIV or AIDS.
Some adults are concerned that their long-ago vaccination against measles may not protect them adequately. However, most do not need a booster shot.
If you have written documentation that you were previously vaccinated or have had a blood test to show immunity to the measles, no re-vaccination is required. Anyone born before 1957 probably has natural immunity because they were exposed to the virus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the decade before 1963, when a vaccine became available, nearly all children got measles by age 15.
The CDC states that the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine is 97 percent effective against the measles if you have had two doses (except for the less effective "killed" vaccine in the 1960s). If you have a record that you received two doses, a blood test to prove immunity usually is not required.
However, if you were born in the 1960s (when a "killed" vaccine was in use) and don't have proof that you have previously received a "live" vaccine, then you should get a booster.
Also, if there is a measles outbreak in your community or if you are exposed to someone who has measles, you should talk with your health care provider about getting the vaccine.
The most common side effects from this vaccine are irritation and soreness at the injection site, fever, and occasional swelling of glands in the neck. Rarer but more serious side effects include seizures, generalized rash, temporary joint pain, and temporary low platelet counts.
Among those who should avoid being vaccinated for measles are:
Pregnant women Individuals who have weakened immune systems, such as people undergoing chemotherapy or who have HIV or AIDS Individuals who have tuberculosis Those who have received another live vaccine in the previous four weeks Persons with a history of severe allergic reactions to a previous MMR vaccine
If you are unsure whether you should be re-vaccinated, please talk with your healthcare provider.

Dr. Carmen Barba Claassens grew up in a small city in the Netherlands and from a young age always dreamed of being a veterinarian that traveled abroad helping animals in need. She first realized this dream when she traveled to Chiang Mai, Thailand during her studies to complete her thesis on the Asian Elephant.
In 2012, she graduated from the University of Utrecht as a Doctor in Veterinary Medicine. After working for two years in a small animal practice in the Netherlands, she left home and again travelled to Asia. There she set up a spay/neuter clinic in Goa, India and volunteered her time with the animals in the shelter of Kathmandu, Nepal. She always had a passion for conservation, wildlife medicine and education, so it was no surprise when she moved to Ecuador to start working for a free small animal clinic on the unique Galapagos islands. She ran the Galapagos clinic for 2 years, teaching students from all over the world and providing animal health care with a team of international vets. She also managed and ran several spay/neuter campaigns: one in Koh Tao, Thailand and another near Andasibe National Park in Madagascar.
In between all her travels, she loves to touch base with friends and family, so she flies back home where she does relief work to keep up to date with the newest treatment methods. In her free time, Dr. Carmen loves scuba diving. When she is not at some tropical destination, you can find her on a snowboard!

Renoma
The Commercial Centre Renoma was built in the end of the 20s. Then, it had uncommonly big surface.
The commercial centre Wertheim in today's ul. Świdnicka was built to the design of Hermann Dernburg. It was opened in 1930. This monumental building, based on the trapezoid, was a representation of modern architecture and was the biggest commercial building in Breslau (Wrocław), with the surface of 35 000 m2 and cubage of 160 000 m3. Since the inauguration Wertheim had impressed not only the citizens and guests, but also the then building and construction environment. The commercial centre was successful, but shortly it had to deal with the economic crisis and the consequences of the Nazi's rise to power.
In 1945 the building was bombed. It was reopened after three years as the biggest Commercial House in Poland. The name Renoma was chosen through the contest for the readers of Słowo Polskie. In 1977 the building became a listed building as a monumental work of European modernism. In the end of the 90s the building became was privatised. In the years 2005-2009 it was renovated and a new part was built in the place where Hermann Dernburg designed it.
The project was finished in 2009 and the inauguration took place on 25th April.
The shopping centre
In Renoma there are over 120 shops and a restaurant area. The building (opened on 2 April 1930) has an extraordinary façade with original gold plating and original statues presenting people from different continents. It symbolises the openness to another human: respect to every person and their views. These values are as important for us as for Wertheim brothers - the founders of the building.

Christian Group Purchases Abortion Clinic
This may be old news, but as a board member of one of the involved organizations, I wasn't free to speak about this publicly until last Thursday.
When the abortion clinic closed down, there was interest from a coalition of Christian organizations to purchase the facility and offer pregnancy services.
The chain link fence and barbed wire (literally) have been removed, the "Planned Parenthood" sign has been removed, and a whole new life radiates from the facility.
This facility was often used as a backdrop when TV reports were being done on abortion in Texas, and there was often a "24 hour prayer chain" operating in front of the facility, people kneeling and praying for the women going in and out when it was an abortion clinic. I have prayed there numerous times.
At first, there was an attempt to form a third party LLC or entity to purchase, as it was thought that Planned Parenthood would never sell to a Christian group. More and more, we felt this was borderline deception, and if God was "in this", we didn't need the secrecy. Long story short, an agreement was reached, and pro-life pregnancy services are now being offered in a facility that once saw many human lives snuffed out.
Source: LifeNews.com
In August 2013, the Planned Parenthood abortion facility once managed by Abby Johnson officially closed their doors. In 2009, Johnson resigned from her position with the abortion giant after observing an ultrasound-guided abortion. She is now pro-life and wrote a best-selling book exposing Planned Parenthood's secrets.
plannedparenthood128The closure of her former clinic, which was located in Bryan, Texas, came after Gov. Rick Perry signed a bill banning abortion after 20 weeks and holds abortion clinics accountable to higher safety standards. The legislation, House Bill 2 (HB2), received national attention because it closed 14 of 23 Texas abortion facilities or prohibited them from offering abortion "services."

Anti-Abortion Groups Sneaks Into Old Planned Parenthood Building
Like many of the reproductive health clinics and abortion clinics forced to close in Texas over the last few years, the loss of the Planned Parenthood affiliate in Bryan Station, Texas, was heavily felt by its community. In part impacted by the state legislature's anti-choice agenda, which stripped and defunded Planned Parenthood clinics and stopped them from being able to offer testing for STIs, birth control options and other family planning and sexual health services, the clinic closed like so many others in the state, an event that caused a crisis in women's health.
The situation became so volatile, even massively anti-abortion legislators agreed that family planning and sexual health clinics needed to be supported again. That was no doubt part of what led to the Bryan Station community's excitement when it learned that a "sexually-transmitted disease clinic" would be moving in to the old Planned Parenthood building next year.
The problem? It's also housing an anti-abortion activist group.
They don't even know that it's "Bryan, Texas" -- they cite "Bryan Station, Texas". It's a twin cities kind of thing ... Bryan / College Station.

"Sneaks"? Really? Good thing you listened to the Holy Spirit about using that LLC! There no way they really can claim Planned Parenthood didn't know who they were dealing with.

I think this is the ultimate in hypocrisy, from that same article...
It's also interesting to speculate the ways in which Texas taxpayers themselves are likely subsidizing the 40 Days for Life operation, now that it will be residing in a building that likely is receiving state funds as part of Texas's policy of giving taxpayer dollars to pregnancy centers. Although the state may not be writing 40 Days a check directly, no doubt it will be benefiting financially from its relationship with Hope Pregnancy Center, which the state provides funding to.
The way these bloodthirsty babykillers move money around and use taxpayer funding to accomplish their murders....

I am become death...
Does anyone know what happened to the facility after it was purchased, like what is there today?
The impression I got from the second article posted from the other side is that other services besides abortion were also offered, hence they were able to word it that way. If this is true, is there an alternative offered? I know in CA, Planned Parenthood is a women's health provider as well as likely source of abortion.

Yes, it's there today, and is being used as a pregnancy center and clinic. Planned Parenthood is kicked out, and Christians run it. Instead of counseling women to have abortions, they're encouraging them not to, and providing prenatal, postnatal, children's services, etc.
That is one of the best Christian responses I have heard of to abortion. God bless them.

New Clue Uncovered for How and Why Cancer Cells Spread
| Original story from the University of Alberta
Lung cancer metastasis. Credit: Scott Wilkinson and Adam Marcus/ National Cancer Institute
Complete the form below and we will email you a PDF version of "New Clue Uncovered for How and Why Cancer Cells Spread"
An international team of researchers has uncovered a new mechanism that enables cancer cells to move throughout the body, providing a potential new target to stop metastasis, which is responsible for 90 per cent of cancer deaths.
In findings published in Nature, the team identifies that cancer cells move faster when they are surrounded by thicker fluids, a change that occurs when lymph drainage is compromised by a primary tumour.
"This is really the first time that the viscosity of the extracellular fluid has been looked at in detail," says John D. Lewis, professor and Bird Dogs Chair in Translational Oncology at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry. "Now that we know that fluid viscosity signals cancer cells to move in a specific way, we can potentially use drugs to basically short-circuit that signalling pathway and encourage cancer cells to slow down, or even maybe to stop."
The Lewis lab was invited to join the project led by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, because of its expertise in imaging human cancer cells in real-time motion using the placenta-like chorioallantoic membrane from fertilized chicken eggs.
"I would say we're the world leaders in this type of imaging," Lewis says. "Our contribution to the work was to very precisely show that cancer cells change their gene expression when they encounter increased viscosity in the surrounding fluid and become more aggressive. And even when you bring the viscosity back down, these cells stay more aggressive."
"We then went on to show that when this signalling pathway is perturbed in cancer cells it changes their ability to escape the bloodstream and metastasize," Lewis says.
This is the third paper the international research team has published. Lewis credits Konstantin Stoletov, senior research associate, for the bulk of his team's work. He cautions that once a new therapeutic target is identified, it could take 10 to 15 years to develop and test a drug.

This custom designed 8m Sports Fishing Vessel by Naval Architecture and Marine Solutions (NMS), has just completed successful sea trials after being built by local builder Stagg Boats.
Our brief for this sports fishing vessel was fairly straight forward. The client wanted a boat 8m long, powered by twin Yamaha 225hp outboards with plenty of usable deck space.
NMS prepared a preliminary general arrangement (GA) for Stagg Boats to show the client, and after a few refinements the client gave us the go ahead to finalise the sports fishing vessel design.
One advantage of custom aluminium boats over FRP, is the ability to continually refine and develop each new design. One thing we often find with marine design is that by the time a vessel is built, it is already superseded. Our ideas change about what is desirable in a boat. Technology changes, with engines getting lighter and more powerful. Improvements and refinements that are identified during construction can be carried over into subsequent designs. These refinements are often subtle and most people would be hard pressed to pick the differences. In the case of this 8m for example, NMS took the opportunity to raise the working deck marginally to increase the at rest freeboard. We also eased the chine out slightly and re-faired the topsides to increase the waterline beam whilst maintaining the same overall beam.
The result is "Bullet Proof". The torque of the Yamaha outboards gives the boat a performance nothing short of spectacular. When the throttles go down there is no waiting around as the boat climbs over the hump. This one launches itself onto the plane like it has been shot out of a cannon. The vessel can be trimmed down to run flat which means from the helm the skipper can see what is on the water in front of him, rather than what's in the sky above him. At rest the vessel has good stability and at the end of the day it tucks away nicely onto it's custom built trailer.
It topped out at 46 knots, but will do 45 knots all day long!!!….
Constructed from marine grade aluminium, the vessel measures 8.00 metres in length overall, with a beam of 2.72 metres, and has a draught of 0.54 metres enabling quick planing. The vessel is powered by two Yamaha 225hp engines. Fuel for the vessel is carried in one tank, with a 400 litre carrying capacity.
NMS have been eagerly awaiting this vessel hitting the water as it had all the potential to be something special and we haven't been disappointed.


MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Tuesday that new U.S. sanctions introduced over alleged hacking and illegal oil products supply to North Korea were groundless, promising a response from Moscow.
In a statement, published on the ministry website, he also said the sanctions were introduced under a "false pretence".
The United States on Tuesday imposed sanctions on two Russians, one Russian company and one Slovakian firm for what Washington said were their actions to help another Russian company avoid sanctions over the country's malicious cyber-related activities.
It also announced sanctions on two Russian shipping companies and six vessels it said were involved in the transfer of refined petroleum products to North Korean vessels in violation of U.N. restrictions.

REGIONAL NEWS DIGESTSOUTHWEST
DENVER-The 1,074-bed hospital system, HealthOne, and 50-bed Bethesda PsycHealth System expect to complete a merger in late spring. The merger, which had been agreed to last year, still requires regulatory approval. Bethesda has a longstanding affiliation with Swedish Medical Center, one of three hospitals in HealthOne. The system was formed as P/SL Swedish Healthcare System in August 1993 and renamed HealthOne in December. Last month, the system selected William Kent, its vice president of behavioral services, to be Bethesda's new administrator.
LAKEWOOD, Colo.-Sage Health Services has acquired Bethany Care Center, a 128-bed long-term-care facility in Lakewood. The facility's been renamed Bethany Healthplex. Terms of the transaction weren't disclosed. Sage, based in Evansville, Ind., once managed Bethany and 29 other long-term-care facilities for MeritWest, a Pittsburgh-based venture capital company. In January, MeritWest divested its facilities; 17 were bought by Community Care of America, Owings Mills, Md., a new company formed last year by the subacute-care provider Integrated Health Services. Bethany now is the only facility that Sage operates, but it plans to buy a dozen more facilities this year, said Joan Dugan, its president.
SHREVEPORT, La.-Health Advantage, a hospital-owned preferred provider organization started by Schumpert Medical Center here, has expanded its 6-year-old provider network to include Highland Hospital and Highland Clinic, both in Shreveport, and Community Health Network, an HMO with 67,000 enrollees in the state. Health Advantage, which has 25,000 members, is managed by Premier Health Benefits, a subsidiary of Premier Health Alliance, Westchester, Ill. The network also includes DeSoto General Hospital in Mansfield, La.
HOUSTON-Jim Mattox, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, is calling the March 8 primary a "referendum" on President Clinton's proposed health plan. Mr. Mattox, a former state attorney general, said he's the only Senate candidate who supports Mr. Clinton's plan to provide universal coverage. Mr. Mattox is running for the seat now occupied by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, a Republican. Mr. Mattox faces Rep. Mike Andrews (D-Houston) and Dallas investor Richard Fisher in the primary race. Ms. Hutchison, who led the list of healthcare campaign fund recipients in 1993, faces only token Republican opposition. She received $377,069 from health and insurance industries to finance her campaign.

Congress urged to tackle yuan
By Tan Yingzi China Daily
Large Medium Small
WASHINGTON — Days after China announced it would gradually make its exchange rate more flexible, a coalition of industry, agriculture and worker organizations urged Congress to quickly pass legislation on the currency issue Monday.
The legislation, called the Currency Reform for Fair Trade Act of 2009, H.R. 2378, seeks to end the practice of currency misalignment by the US' trading partners. The Fair Currency Coalition, which has endorsed the bill, wants Congress to enact tariffs to combat prolonged misalignment as soon as possible.
The bill has a total of 117 House sponsors and cosponsors, including US Representatives Tim Ryan and Tim Murphy.
In March, a similar bill, called the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act of 2010, was introduced by Sens Charles Schumer, Debbie Stabenow and Lindsey Graham. It currently has 19 Senate sponsors and cosponsors.
"China is all talk and little action with respect to ending the persistent undervaluation of the renminbi," said Fair Currency Coalition Executive Director Charles Blum in response to the People's Bank of China announcement over the weekend. "The PBOC's statement is too little too late."
He said the coalition agrees with Sens Schumer and Ryan that Congress must pass legislation to enact the tariffs.
"China's predatory currency policy has destroyed too many US jobs and discouraged too much investment in the United States for Congress to delay action any longer," Blum said.
The coalition argued in a statement that Congress should be skeptical of what the Chinese authorities claim.
"Even if China allows the RMB to rise by 3-5 percent over the next few months, it would come nowhere close to eliminating the RMB's estimated 35-40 percent undervaluation relative to the US dollar," he said. "Enhanced 'flexibility' is not the goal of the FCC. Bringing the RMB's value into line with market forces is. Flexibility can be a means to that end, but it is not a substitute for a properly valued RMB."
Sen Schumer said he would move forward on legislation to penalize China for undervaluing its currency.
"Just a day after there was much hoopla about the Chinese finally changing their policy, they are already backing off," he said in a statement.
But Derek Scissors, research fellow in Asia Economic Policy at the Asian Studies Center at the Heritage Foundation, said a double-digit revaluation of the yuan could again widen Sino-US trade imbalances like it did 2005-2008.
"From mid-2005 to mid-2008, when the yuan-dollar peg was supposedly first broken, global imbalances worsened considerably. This helped trigger the current financial crisis. If that fraudulent de-pegging is repeated, the whole process may be repeated, including another global contraction," he said.
"The Congress could again get what it thinks it wants: a double-digit revaluation of the yuan against the dollar, if a very slow one. But it would again not have the effect Congress wants."
He said what the US and the world need from China is true progress toward independent currency, which would strike a blow against imbalances, in particular slowing the accumulation of dollars in Beijing's hands and encouraging Chinese consumption in the long term.

Obama foreign policy has left America with no good cards to play.
Is Europe cracking up?
Not only in Ukraine is ethnic nationalism surging.
Patrick J. Buchanan
A week ago, in the St. George's Hall in the Kremlin, Russia's elite cheered and wept as Vladimir Putin announced the re-annexation of Crimea. Seven in 10 Russians approve of Putin's rule.
In Crimea, the Russian majority has not ceased celebrating. The re-conquest nears completion. In Eastern Ukraine, Russians have now begun to agitate for annexation by Moscow.
Ukrainian nationalism, manifest in the anti-Russia coup in Kiev, has produced its inevitable reaction among Russians.
While praising the Ukrainians who came out to Maidan to protest peacefully, Putin said that those behind the decisive events "resorted to terror, murder and riots. Nationalists, neo-Nazis, Russophobes and anti-Semites executed this coup." The Kremlin erupted in cheers.
But not only in Ukraine is ethnic nationalism surging.
"National Front Vote Stuns Hollande" was the headline on the Financial Times' story about France's municipal elections Sunday.
Though the FN of Marine Le Pen, daughter of party founder Jean Marie Le Pen, did not field candidate in many cities, it won the mayoral race outright in Henin-Beaumont and ran first or second in a dozen medium-sized cities, qualifying for run-off elections on March 30.
"The National Front has arrived as a major independent force — a political force both at the national and local levels," declared Le Pen.
No one is arguing the point. Indeed, a measure of panic has set in for the socialist party of Francois Hollande, which is calling on all parties to unite against FN candidates.
In early polling for the May elections for the European Parliament in Strasbourg, the National Front is running close behind the UMP of ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy, and ahead of Hollande's socialists.
Begun as an anti-immigrant, anti-EU Party, the FN has broadened its base to issues like crime and unemployment.
But the most startling news on the nationalist front last week came in Venice and the Veneto region, where 89 percent of a large turnout in a non-binding referendum voted to secede from Italy and re-establish the Venetian republic that vanished in 1866.
Exulted Luca Zaia of the separatist Northern League, "The will for secession is growing very strong. We are only at the Big Bang of the movement — but revolutions are born of hunger and we are now hungry. Venice can now escape."
The proposed "Repubblica Veneta" would embrace five million inhabitants of Veneto. Should it succeed in seceding, Lombardy and Trentino would likely follow, bringing about a partition of Italy. Sardinia is also reportedly looking for an exit.
In readying their referendum, Venetians journeyed to Scotland to observe preparations by the Scottish National Party for the vote this fall to sever the 1707 Act of Union with England.
Also observing in Scotland were representatives of Catalonia who will hold a similar referendum this fall on secession from Spain. Basque Country secessionists were present in Scotland as well.
In a report published this weekend, "Europe on Trial," a poll of 20,000 British commissioned by Lord Ashcroft of the Conservative Party found that Russia (before the Kiev-Crimea crisis) was viewed more favorably than either the EU or European Parliament.
By 49-31, British think the costs of membership in the EU outweigh the benefits and they are now evenly divided, 41-41, on whether to get out of the union altogether.
Prime Minister David Cameron has set a vote on EU membership for 2017. Now it appears the Labour Party, seeing the unpopularity of the EU, may also be open to changing the EU treaty and a referendum on saying goodbye to Europe, should they take power in 2015.
Why is the EU under rising centrifugal pressure? Why do so many nations of Europe seem on the verge of breaking up?
There is no single or simple explanation.
Venice and Northern Italy feel exploited. Why, they ask, should we subsidize a less industrious and lazier south that consumes tax revenues we raise here. Many northern Italians believe they have more in common with Swiss than Romans, Neapolitans or Sicilians.
Flanders feels the same about the Walloons in Belgium.
Scots and Catalans believe they are a people with a culture, history and identity separate from the nations to which they belong.
Across Europe, there is a fear that the ethnic character of their countries and continent are being altered forever against the will of the people.
Western Europeans are recoiling at the Bulgarians, Rumanians and gypsies arriving from Eastern Europe. Asylum seekers, economic refugees and migrants in the scores of thousands arrive annually on the Italian island of Lampedusa and in the Spanish Canaries.
Early this month, the New York Times reported a surge of 80,000 African migrants headed for the tiny Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla on the Moroccan coast.
The goal these desperate people seek: the mother countries of the Old Continent and the wealthy welfare states of Northern Europe.
What the children of Europe are rebelling against is what their fathers, paralyzed by political correctness, refused to prevent.
It was predictable, it was predicted, and it has come to pass.

For the second day of cooking Pastas with different sauces, it was only natural that I end up making a pasta dish with Arrabbiata Sauce. As expected there are so many variations to this sauce and I adapted this after reading so many sites and ended up making something that suited my taste buds. Of course this is more to our taste as this sauce is supposed to be more spicy.
Arrabbiata Sauce is mostly serve with penne pasta. For a change I wanted to use spaghetti. I haven't introduced spaghetti to my boys and wanted to see if they will accept it as a regular noodle. Just as I thought they thought this to be hakka noodles only and wanted more of this than other pasta dishes.
I used fresh red ripe chilies and garlic cloves, apart from using ripe blanched tomatoes. The sauce was quite thick and it nicely coated the spaghetti.
Blanch the tomatoes in a large pot and cook for 5 – 7 mins. Cool and remove skin. Make a puree when the tomatoes are cooled down.
Heat a non stick pan with olive oil, add finely minced ripe green chilies, onion. Saute till the onions turn colour.
Then add the tomato puree and bring to boil. When it thickens, add salt, all the dry herbs along with required amount of chili flakes.
Adjust spice and continue cooking in low flame.
Cook till the sauce becomes thick in consistency and oil separates.
Boil Spaghetti as per directions in a large pot of water, drain and toss little oil on the top.
I made this in two ways, one with sauce simply served on top, the other tossed in a pan with sauce and more spices.
Both the methods tasted great!
Nice to know everyone liked it.
I have to try this sauce .. Nicely done,sauce looks yummy.
My younger one's favourite, he can have this arrabiata sauce topped spaghetti anytime.
Looks lovely Valli! I had made arrabiata recently and my son is in love with it ever since.
Spaghetti is loved by kids, just like maggi and they enjoy slurping it. The sauce looks delicious and love that deep colour.
Im surprised and impressed that you have managed to keep your kids off sphagetti/noodles for this long! Nice and simple sauce.
The sauce is very colorful.
A delicious sauce, your kids must had a feast.
I would like the sauce and spaghetti tossed together in the pan better than the other!!! Looks inviting!!!

XRP's upward journey was temporarily suspended as the cryptocurrency enters into a range-bound market. The struggle for the market control between the bulls and the bears were continued. Neither are ready to give in. $0.4870 in the resistance area was the point the bull pushed the price on 21st October above the two EMAs and lost momentum with the candle closing as an inverted hammer while the bears gradually return.
The bears increased momentum pushed XRPUSD down to $0.4563 in the support area on 22nd October below the two EMAs crossover.
The stochastic oscillator is in the oversold region at 19% but its signal is undefined a reflection of the ranging scenario.
XRPUSD is in consolidation and trading between $0.4819 in the upper resistance area and at $0.4425 in the lower support area of the range. Traders should be patient at this period and allow a breakout at the upper resistance area or breakdown at the lower support area before taking a position with good reversal candlestick pattern that confirms the direction.

A Type of Simulation Which Some Experimental Evidence Suggests We Don't Live In.Samuel Alexander - 2018 - The Reasoner 12 (7):56-56.details
Do we live in a computer simulation? I will present an argument that the results of a certain experiment constitute empirical evidence that we do not live in, at least, one type of simulation. The type of simulation ruled out is very specific. Perhaps that is the price one must pay to make any kind of Popperian progress.
Mathematical Shortcomings in a Simulated Universe.Samuel Alexander - 2018 - The Reasoner 12 (9):71-72.details
I present an argument that for any computer-simulated civilization we design, the mathematical knowledge recorded by that civilization has one of two limitations. It is untrustworthy, or it is weaker than our own mathematical knowledge. This is paradoxical because it seems that nothing prevents us from building in all sorts of advantages for the inhabitants of said simulation.

Epistemic Landscapes, Optimal Search, and the Division of Cognitive Labor.Jason McKenzie Alexander, Johannes Himmelreich & Christopher Thompson - 2015 - Philosophy of Science 82 (3):424-453,.details
This article examines two questions about scientists' search for knowledge. First, which search strategies generate discoveries effectively? Second, is it advantageous to diversify search strategies? We argue pace Weisberg and Muldoon, "Epistemic Landscapes and the Division of Cognitive Labor", that, on the first question, a search strategy that deliberately seeks novel research approaches need not be optimal. On the second question, we argue they have not shown epistemic reasons exist for the division of cognitive labor, identifying the errors that led (...) to their conclusions. Furthermore, we generalize the epistemic landscape model, showing that one should be skeptical about the benefits of social learning in epistemically complex environments. (shrink)
Salience and Epistemic Egocentrism: An Empirical Study.Joshua Alexander, Chad Gonnerman & John Waterman - 2014 - In James Beebe (ed.), Advances in Experimental Epistemology. Continuum. pp. 97-117.details
Jennifer Nagel (2010) has recently proposed a fascinating account of the decreased tendency to attribute knowledge in conversational contexts in which unrealized possibilities of error have been mentioned. Her account appeals to epistemic egocentrism, or what is sometimes called the curse of knowledge, an egocentric bias to attribute our own mental states to other people (and sometimes our own future and past selves). Our aim in this paper is to investigate the empirical merits of Nagel's hypothesis about the psychology involved (...) in knowledge attribution. (shrink)
The Problem of Respecting Higher-Order Doubt.David J. Alexander - 2013 - Philosophers' Imprint 13.details
This paper argues that higher-order doubt generates an epistemic dilemma. One has a higher-order doubt with regards to P insofar as one justifiably withholds belief as to what attitude towards P is justified. That is, one justifiably withholds belief as to whether one is justified in believing, disbelieving, or withholding belief in P. Using the resources provided by Richard Feldman's recent discussion of how to respect one's evidence, I argue that if one has a higher-order doubt with regards to P, (...) then one is not justified in having any attitude towards P. Otherwise put: No attitude towards the doubted proposition respects one's higher-order doubt. I argue that the most promising response to this problem is to hold that when one has a higher-order doubt about P, the best one can do to respect such a doubt is to simply have no attitude towards P. Higher-order doubt is thus much more rationally corrosive than non-higher-order doubt, as it undermines the possibility of justifiably having any attitude towards the doubted proposition. (shrink)
Distinguishing Ecological From Evolutionary Approaches to Transposable Elements.Stefan Linquist, Brent Saylor, Karl Cottenie, Tyler A. Elliott, Stefan C. Kremer & T. Ryan Gregory - 2013 - Biological Reviews 88 (3):573- 584.details
Considerable variation exists not only in the kinds of transposable elements (TEs) occurring within the genomes of different species, but also in their abundance and distribution. Noting a similarity to the assortment of organisms among ecosystems, some researchers have called for an ecological approach to the study of transposon dynamics. However, there are several ways to adopt such an approach, and it is sometimes unclear what an ecological perspective will add to the existing co-evolutionary framework for explaining transposon-host interactions. This (...) review aims to clarify the conceptual foundations of transposon ecology in order to evaluate its explanatory prospects. We begin by identifying three unanswered questions regarding the abundance and distribution of TEs that potentially call for an ecological explanation. We then offer an operational distinction between evolutionary and ecological approaches to these questions. By determining the amount of variance in transposon abundance and distribution that is explained by ecological and evolutionary factors, respectively, it is possible empirically to assess the prospects for each of these explanatory frameworks. To illustrate how this methodology applies to a concrete example, we analyzed whole-genome data for one set of distantly related mammals and another more closely related group of arthropods. Our expectation was that ecological factors are most informative for explaining differences among individual TE lineages, rather than TE families, and for explaining their distribution among closely related as opposed to distantly related host genomes. We found that, in these data sets, ecological factors do in fact explain most of the variation in TE abundance and distribution among TE lineages across less distantly related host organisms. Evolutionary factors were not significant at these levels. However, the explanatory roles of evolution and ecology become inverted at the level of TE families or among more distantly related genomes. Not only does this example demonstrate the utility of our distinction between ecological and evolutionary perspectives, it further suggests an appropriate explanatory domain for the burgeoning discipline of transposon ecology. The fact that ecological processes appear to be impacting TE lineages over relatively short time scales further raises the possibility that transposons might serve as useful model systems for testing more general hypotheses in ecology.

Three Rival Views of Tradition (Arendt, Oakeshott and MacIntyre).James Alexander - 2012 - Journal of the Philosophy of History 6 (1):20-43.details
If we define tradition too hastily we leave to one side the question of what the relevance of tradition is for us. Here the concept of tradition is opened up by considering the different views of it taken by Hannah Arendt, Michael Oakeshott and Alasdair MacIntyre. We see that each has put tradition into a fully developed picture of what our predicament is in modernity; and that each has differed in their assessment of what our relation to tradition is or (...) should be. Arendt sees tradition as something which no longer conditions action, Oakeshott sees tradition as something which conditions all action, and MacIntyre sees tradition as something which should condition right action. In each case, the view of tradition is clearly one element in an attempt to see how the most important constituent elements of human existence – variously called the human condition, human conduct, or human virtue – should be understood in a modernity which is ours because it has put the traditional concept of tradition into question.

This Sentence Does Not Contain the Symbol X.Samuel Alexander - 2013 - The Reasoner 7 (9):108.details

Fast-Collapsing Theories.Samuel A. Alexander - 2013 - Studia Logica (1):1-21.details
Reinhardt's conjecture, a formalization of the statement that a truthful knowing machine can know its own truthfulness and mechanicalness, was proved by Carlson using sophisticated structural results about the ordinals and transfinite induction just beyond the first epsilon number. We prove a weaker version of the conjecture, by elementary methods and transfinite induction up to a smaller ordinal.
Guessing, Mind-Changing, and the Second Ambiguous Class.Samuel Alexander - 2016 - Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic 57 (2):209-220.details
In his dissertation, Wadge defined a notion of guessability on subsets of the Baire space and gave two characterizations of guessable sets. A set is guessable if and only if it is in the second ambiguous class, if and only if it is eventually annihilated by a certain remainder. We simplify this remainder and give a new proof of the latter equivalence. We then introduce a notion of guessing with an ordinal limit on how often one can change one's mind. (...) We show that for every ordinal $\alpha$, a guessable set is annihilated by $\alpha$ applications of the simplified remainder if and only if it is guessable with fewer than $\alpha$ mind changes. We use guessability with fewer than $\alpha$ mind changes to give a semi-characterization of the Hausdorff difference hierarchy, and indicate how Wadge's notion of guessability can be generalized to higher-order guessability, providing characterizations of ${\mathbf{\Delta}}^{0}_{\alpha}$ for all successor ordinals $\alpha\gt 1$.

Biologically Unavoidable Sequences.Samuel Alexander - 2013 - Electronic Journal of Combinatorics 20 (1):1-13.details
A biologically unavoidable sequence is an infinite gender sequence which occurs in every gendered, infinite genealogical network satisfying certain tame conditions. We show that every eventually periodic sequence is biologically unavoidable (this generalizes König's Lemma), and we exhibit some biologically avoidable sequences. Finally we give an application of unavoidable sequences to cellular automata.
On the Origin of Purpose: Une Faux Probleme.Attay Kremer - manuscriptdetails
In this essay we analyze the question of the origin of purpose. Due to the overwhelming success of science in explaining phenomena, it is often asked, when, and how science could explain purpose and consciousness by use of purely mechanical laws. Here I argue that such a reduction is impossible.
Architecture and the Global Ecological Crisis: From Heidegger to Christopher Alexander.Arran Gare - 2003/2004 - The Structurist 43:30-37.details
This paper argues that while Heidegger showed the importance of architecture in altering people's modes of being to avoid global ecological destruction, the work of Christopher Alexander offered a far more practical orientation to deal with this problem.
Aristotle and Alexander on Perceptual Error.Mark A. Johnstone - 2015 - Phronesis 60 (3):310-338.details
Aristotle sometimes claims that the perception of special perceptibles by their proper sense is unerring. This claim is striking, since it might seem that we quite often misperceive things like colours, sounds and smells. Aristotle also claims that the perception of common perceptibles is more prone to error than the perception of special perceptibles. This is puzzling in its own right, and also places constraints on the interpretation of. I argue that reading Alexander of Aphrodisias on perceptual error can (...) help to make good sense of both of Aristotle's claims. (shrink)
Alexander of Aphrodisias on Aristotle's Theory of the Stoic Indemonstrables.Susanne Bobzien - 2014 - In M. Lee (ed.), Strategies of Argument: Essays in Ancient Ethics, Epistemology, and Logic. Oxford University Press. pp. 199-227.details
ABSTRACT: Alexander of Aphrodisias' commentaries on Aristotle's Organon are valuable sources for both Stoic and early Peripatetic logic, and have often been used as such – in particular for early Peripatetic hypothetical syllogistic and Stoic propositional logic. By contrast, this paper explores the role Alexander himself played in the development and transmission of those theories. There are three areas in particular where he seems to have made a difference: First, he drew a connection between certain passages from Aristotle's (...) Topics and Prior Analytics and the Stoic indemonstrable arguments, and, based on this connection, appropriated at least four kinds of Stoic indemonstrables as Aristotelian. Second, he developed and made use of a specifically Peripatetic terminology in which to describe and discuss those arguments – which facilitated the integration of the indemonstrables into Peripatetic logic. Third, he made some progress towards a solution to the problem of what place and interpretation the Stoic third indemonstrables should be given in a Peripatetic and Platonist setting. Overall, the picture emerges that Alexander persistently (if not always consistently) presented passages from Aristotle's logical œuvre in a light that makes it appear as if Aristotle was in the possession of a Peripatetic correlate to the Stoic theory of indemonstrables.

LA CONOSCIBILITÀ DEL MONDO SECONDO ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT: L'ESPERIENZA DEL PAESAGGIO.Roberto Franzini Tibaldeo - 2015 - Rivista Geografica Italiana 122:1-14.details
The cognizability of the world according to Alexander von Humboldt: the experience of landscape. According to Alexander von Humboldt, geography ought to aim to go beyond the modern attitude of seeing knowledge as being the result of a spatial and temporal abstraction from the real world. Von Humboldt wishes to create a new theory of knowledge, one that instead of just simplifying, schematizing, and categorizing reality is able to highlight its multiple meanings, its diversity of perspectives, and its (...) hermeneutical keys. Von Humboldt's project strives to achieve a universal cognition of the world (or a universal geography) by claiming the centrality of the experience of landscape. This is evidence for von Humboldt's far-sightedness, since he anticipated the present day trend of considering landscape as a corner stone of interdisciplinary enquiries into the meaning of the world.

This volume examines the possible present-day significance of the man, noting that this is not the first revival of interest in the statesman. Hamilton was a major background figure in the GOP politics of the Gilded Age, with the powerful US Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Sr. drawing on Hamilton to inspire a new, assertive American (...) role in the world. Hamilton was first prominent as a soldier and aide to General Washington, and believed in centralization of power in the federal government and an energetic presidency. He founded the American financial system as the first Secretary of the Treasury, and was a great moving force of America's first nationalist-conservative party – the Federalists. As shown here, close scholarly attention to Lodge's biography brings out the darker sides of the celebrated hero. Hamilton's deeper conviction was the need of an elitist "aristocratic republic," and he was an advocate of military-commercial empire. The Gilded Age Hamilton revival helped inspire the Spanish-American war of 1898 and an American overseas empire. This book will be of interest for students and professionals in political philosophy, political science, American history and American studies. (shrink)

Dennis R. Alexander and Ronald L. Numbers : Biology and Ideology: From Descartes to Dawkins.Massimo Pigliucci - 2013 - Science & Education 22 (2):405-409.details
Science has always strived for objectivity, for a ''view from nowhere'' that is not marred by ideology or personal preferences. That is a lofty ideal toward which perhaps it makes sense to strive, but it is hardly the reality. This collection of thirteen essays assembled by Denis R. Alexander and Ronald L. Numbers ought to give much pause to scientists and the public at large, though historians, sociologists and philosophers of science will hardly be surprised by the material covered (...) here.

Alexander of Aphrodisias on Fate, Providence and Nature.David Torrijos-Castrillejo - 2017 - Forum. Supplement to Acta Philosophica 3:7-18.details
To study the influence of divinity on cosmos, Alexander uses the notions of 'fate' and 'providence,' which were common in the philosophy of his time. In this way, he provides an Aristotelian interpretation of the problems related to such concepts. In the context of this discussion, he offers a description of 'nature' different from the one that he usually regards as the standard Aristotelian notion of nature, i.e. the intrinsic principle of motion and rest. The new coined concept is (...) a 'cosmic' nature that can be identified with both 'fate' and 'divine power,' which are the immediate effect of providence upon the world. In the paper it is exposed how the conception of providence defended by Alexander means a rejection of the divine care of the particulars, since the divinities are only provident for species. Several texts belonging to the Middle Platonic philosophers will convince us that such thinkers (and not directly Aristotle) are the origin of the thesis that will be understood as the conventional Aristotelian position, namely that divinity only orders species but not individuals.

Tradition, Authority and Dialogue: Arendt and Alexander on Education.Itay Snir - 2018 - Foro de Educación 16 (24):21-40.details
In this paper I discuss two attempts to challenge mainstream liberal education, by Hannah Arendt and by contemporary Israeli philosopher Hanan Alexander. Arendt and Alexander both identify problems in liberal-secular modern politics and present alternatives based on reconnecting politics and education to tradition. I analyze their positions and bring them into a dialogue that suggests a complex conception of education that avoids many of the pitfalls of modern liberal thought. First, I outline Arendt and Alexander's educational views (...) and discuss their similarities, arguing that both may be understood as opposed to the modern attempt to adopt a «view from nowhere» at the world. Next, I suggest that Alexander's view may benefit from adopting Arendt's conceptions of tradition and authority. In the consecutive section, I argue that Alexander sheds light on significant problems in Arendt's approach to education, problems his understanding of critical dialogue can help solve. The succeeding section joins the two views together to form an approach I call «critical traditionalism», and examines it against prevailing approaches to political education. I conclude by pointing to an important point overlooked by both Arendt and Alexander, namely the need for internal political struggle within each tradition. (shrink)
Alexander Forbes, Walter Cannon, and Science-Based Literature.Justin Garson - 2013 - In A. Stiles, S. Finger & F. Boller (eds.), Progress in Brain Research Vol. 205: Literature, Neurology, and Neuroscience: Historical and Literary Connections. Amsterdam: Elsevier. pp. 241-256.details
The Harvard physiologists Alexander Forbes (1882-1965) and Walter Bradford Cannon (1871-1945) had an enormous impact on the physiology and neuroscience of the twentieth century. In addition to their voluminous scientific output, they also used literature to reflect on the nature of science itself and its social significance. Forbes wrote a novel, The Radio Gunner, a literary memoir, Quest for a Northern Air Route, and several short stories. Cannon, in addition to several books of popular science, wrote a literary memoir (...) in the last year of his life, The Way of an Investigator. The following will provide a brief overview of the life and work of Forbes and Cannon. It will then discuss the way that Forbes used literature to express his views about the changing role of communications technology in the military, and his evolving view of the nervous system itself as a kind of information-processing device. It will go on to discuss the way that Cannon used literature to articulate the horrors he witnessed on the battlefield, as well as to contribute to the philosophy of science, and in particular, to the logic of scientific discovery. Finally, it will consider the historical and philosophical value of deeper investigation of the literary productions of scientists. (shrink)
Samuel Alexander's Theory of Categories.A. R. J. Fisher - 2015 - The Monist 98 (3):246-67.details
Samuel Alexander was one of the first realists of the twentieth century to defend a theory of categories. He thought that the categories are genuinely real and grounded in the intrinsic nature of Space-Time. I present his reduction of the categories in terms of Space-Time, articulate his account of categorial structure and completeness, and offer an interpretation of what he thought the nature of the categories really were. I then argue that his theory of categories has some advantages over (...) competing theories of his day, and finally draw some important lessons that we can learn from his realist yet reductionist theory of categories.

The Human Eros: Eco-Ontology and the Aesthetics of Existence by Thomas M. Alexander. [REVIEW]David L. Hildebrand - 2014 - Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society 50 (2):308-313.details
The Human Eros is an outstanding accomplishment, a work of genuine wisdom. It combines meticulous scholarship with an enviable mastery of cultural and philosophical history to address pressing concerns of human beings, nature, and philosophy itself. While comprised of essays spanning over two decades, the book presents a powerfully coherent philosophical vision which Alexander names, alternately, "eco-ontology," "humanistic naturalism," and "ecological humanism." Whatever the name, the approach is humane and intellectually compelling, offering insight and direction to pragmatism, aesthetics, existentialism, (...) environmental philosophy, and anyone in search of wisdom. It is an immensely readable book, too, leavening .. (shrink)

Toward a «Critical Translation» of Alexander of Aphrodisias' De Principiis, Based on the Indirect Tradition of Syriac and Arabic Sources.Silvia Fazzo & Mauro Zonta - 2015 - Chôra 13:63-101.details
One of the main philosophical works by Alexander of Aphrodisias, De principiis, is lost in its original Greek text, but it is preserved in three extant Medieval Semitic versions, one in Syriac and two in Arabic, which were written in the Near East between 500 and 950 AD. These versions are not totally identical and, as we have shown in 2012, they are in a rather complex textual relationship. As we will show in this article, a tentative reconstruction of (...) the lost text should be based upon an attentive and point‑to‑point comparative analysis of some aspect of all three versions. We have tentatively called the abore way "critical translation". (shrink)
"Theoretical Logic in Sociology", Volume 2: "The Antinomies of Classical Thought: Marx and Durkheim" by Jeffrey C. Alexander.Stephen P. Turner - 1985 - Philosophy of the Social Sciences 15 (2):211-216.details
The four volume work of which this book is a part has been praised as one of the great monuments of theoretical scholarship in sociology of the century. The praise has come largely from the older generation of students of Parsons and Merton. A great deal of dispraise has come from Alexander's own generation. Alan Sica's (1983) brilliant, biting review of Volume I speaks for many of Alexander's peers. Volume II is likely to be even more controversial. This (...) volume begins the substantive task of the text, the reinterpretation of the 'theoretical logic' of the classical sociologists, a reinterpretation governed by the intention of transcending the errors and limitations of the 'presuppositional' reasoning of the classical thinkers. For Alexander's sociological audience the second volume is the beginning of what really counts, and Volume II is indeed quite a different affair from the first, 'philosophical' volume: the prose tightens, and the air of getting down to work is palpable.

Alexander James Dallas: An Exposition of the Causes and Character of the War. An Annotated Edition.H. G. Callaway (ed.) - 2011 - Dunedin Academic Press.details
Alexander James Dallas' An Exposition of the Causes and Character of the War was written as part of an effort by the then US government to explain and justify its declaration of war in 1812. However publication coincided with the ratification of the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War. The Exposition is especially interesting for the insight it provides into the self-constraint of American foreign policy and of the conduct of a war. The focus is on the foreign (...) policy of the early republic and the related philosophy of law and war. A central idea is that international law should chiefly benefit those remaining at peace. -/- Dallas was a Philadelphian who settled there in 1783, the year of the Peace of Paris which ended the War of Independence, arriving from Jamaica after a British education. He wrote much on law, becoming the first recorder of cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He later served as Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and federal district attorney for Eastern Pennsylvania, appointed by President Jefferson. He was appointed Secretary of Treasury by President Madison. -/- In this edition the original text is presented with annotations to help identify persons and events of interest. The editor has also added an Introduction, a Bibliography, a short Chronology of Dallas' life and the events of the War, and an analytical Index. As such this annotated edition presents a key primary source in a manner helpful to research for students of the early Republic. (shrink)

A Review of Alexander Broadie's A History of Scottish Philosophy. [REVIEW]Elena Yi-Jia Zeng - 2018 - NTU Philosophical Review 56:177-202.details
Scottish philosophy and intellectual history have become the increasingly fashionable fields of academic studies. Alexander Broadie, one of the pioneers and an accomplished scholar of the Scottish Enlightenment, returns to the basic question, namely, "what is Scottish philosophy?", and presents a comprehensive work on the history of Scottish philosophy. Broadie successfully elucidates the nature and significance of Scottish philosophy both historically and philosophically. He argues that Scottish philosophy must be studied in its historical context, for it is not only (...) a philosophical enterprise but also a persistent tradition which has united the Scottish nation for centuries. The advancements in science, literature, politics, and culture in Scotland would be extremely unlikely, if not impossible, without such an intellectual culture established by thinkers in that tradition. This article is intended as a review of Broadie's A History of Scottish Philosophy in the background of his shifting academic interests from philosophy to history while he holds the professorship in University of Glasgow. His commitment to Scottish philosophical culture deserves the attention of contemporary historians and philosophers, for his work opens up a space for dialogue between intellectual history and history of philosophy, an issue addressed at the end of this paper.

A Reading of Alexander Motyl's Fall River Through the Lenses of Bordermemories.Tetiana Ostapchuk - 2018 - Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 5:83-95.details
This paper examines the concepts of borderlands, borderscapes, and bordermemories as cultural discursive practices that have been extensively presented and analyzed in an increasing number of theoretical works in Border Studies. Contemporary American Ukrainian writers have made attempts to introduce their hybrid experience and include it into American culture. One of them is Alexander J. Motyl, whose novel Fall River (2014) is analyzed as an example of border writing. The novel is based on the author's narrative memory, rooted in (...) his mother's stories about Ukraine and their family members' crossings of borders in the interwar period and belonging to two cultures, Ukrainian and American, that shaped their identities.

Alexander Dugin's Heideggerianism.Michael Millerman - 2018 - International Journal of Political Theory 3 (1).details
This paper argues for the central role of Martin Heidegger's thought in Alexander Dugin's political philosophy or political theory. Part one is a broad overview of the place of Heidegger in Dugin's political theory. Part two outlines how Dugin uses Heidegger to elaborate a specifically Russian political theory. Part three shows how apparently unphilosophical political concepts from Dugin's political theory have a Heideggerian meaning for him. Because of what he regards as a homology between the philosophical and the political, (...) his readers must always be aware of the philosophical significance of his political concepts and vice versa. Tracing Heidegger's central role helps clarify Dugin's political thought. (shrink)
Alexander Baumgarten on the Principle of Sufficient Reason.Courtney D. Fugate - 2014 - Philosophica -- Revista Do Departamento de Filosofia da Faculdade de Letras de Lisboa 44.details
This paper defends the Principle of Sufficient Reason, taking Baumgarten as its guide. The primary aim is not to vindicate the principle, but rather to explore the kinds of resources Baumgarten originally thought sufficient to justify the PSR against its early opponents. The paper also considers Baumgarten's possible responses to Kant's pre-Critical objections to the proof of the PSR. The paper finds that Baumgarten possesses reasonable responses to all these objections. While the paper notes that in the absence of a (...) response to Kant's Critical discussion of the PSR, this result does not vindicate the principle, it shows how this discussion provides a deeper understanding of what, according to Baumgarten, the PSR really assumes and intends, and prepares the way for a more responsible discussion of Kant's Critical objections to Baumgarten's supposed proof.

The philosophical problem of universals is traditionally framed as the problem about the ontological status of universals. It is often said that the ontological status of universals is a post-Aristotelian problem that was bequeathed to the Middle Ages by a famous sentence in Porphyry's Isagoge. 1 Porphyry raises but then refuses to answer three questions about the ontological status of genera and species, saying that they are too "deep" for the present investigation. 2 Although Porphyry is the first to announce (...) the problem, it was Boethius's commentary on Porphyry, rather than the Isagoge itself, that made this sentence famous and that is therefore responsible for the problem of universals in ..

« What Distributed Denial of Service 'DDoS' Attack Are and How to Survive Them
WikiLeaks Back In Business After Being Hit By A Week Of Distributed Denial of Service 'DDoS' attack »
Bambuser Distributed Denial of Service 'DDoS' attack may be connected with Assange embassy stream
Bambuser came under a distributed denial-of-service attack on Thursday morning, possibly in connection with a user's coverage of the Ecuadorian embassy where Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is holed up.
The connection is not certain, but Bambuser's Swedish proprietors say they had received threatening tweets just prior to the attack. Bambuser chief Jonas Vig told ZDNet that the DDoS took the service down for "almost an hour" and made it "hard to reach for another hour".
Bambuser lets people stream live video from their smartphones to the web. It has become very popular with activists and protestors, from the Occupy movement to Russia and Syria. The service has come under attack before, with the attacks generally coinciding with marches and protests that are being covered on Bambuser.
The stream that appears to have solicited the DDoS is that of 'citizen journalist' James Albury, who has stationed himself outside the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Julian Assange has been inside the embassy since June, and the Ecuadorian government is set to announce its decision regarding his asylum bid later on Thursday.
A diplomatic row erupted overnight, after Ecuador accused UK authorities of preparing to storm the embassy. Assange is wanted for questioning in Sweden over sexual coercion and rape allegations, and the UK wants to extradite him there under a European Arrest Warrant.
Vig explained that the tweets Bambuser had received were not of the 'tango down' variety, but they did indicate that "it was someone aiming the attack directly at some specific users of ours".
"We still don't want to speculate who was behind it, but there's some indication it was directly aimed at blocking the streams from the embassy," he added.
"It was quite a serious attack," Vig said. "We consider all DDoSes as serious."
A new anti-Wikileaks hacker, or group of hackers, called Antileaks has suggested on Twitter that he, she or they might be responsible for the DDoS.
