Irregular heartbeat risk linked to frequent alcohol use in people under 40
By Karen Schmidt, American Heart Association News

Moderate to heavy drinking over an extended period may increase the risk of a dangerous type of irregular heartbeat in adults under 40, according to a new study from South Korea.
Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, occurs when the heart's upper chambers beat irregularly and can increase stroke risk fivefold if left untreated. The condition is estimated to affect 12.1 million people in the U.S. by 2030, according to American Heart Association statistics.
Previous studies have linked higher alcohol consumption to increased risk of AFib, but there was little research in younger adults, said the study's co-lead researcher Dr. Minju Han, a third-year resident in internal medicine at Seoul National University Hospital.
"We young people are overconfident about our health, and we think that we will never get sick because we're young," said Han, who is 29. "But when atrial fibrillation is diagnosed at an early age, the duration of the disease is longer and that causes a poor prognosis."
The researchers examined the records of more than 1.5 million South Koreans ages 20 to 39 without AFib who had undergone annual checkups from 2009 to 2012. The data is from the National Health Insurance System, which is compulsory and requires everyone to undergo a checkup every one to two years that includes questions on alcohol use. About 42% of participants reported moderate or heavy drinking over the four years, and most were men.
During a follow-up period of about five and a half years, the overall rate of AFib was low – 0.2%. But the risk was up to 25% higher among those who had reported moderate or heavy drinking compared to non-drinkers or light drinkers.
Moderate consumption was defined as at least 105 grams of alcohol each week – equivalent to 7.5 standard drinks. Heavy drinking was defined as at least 15 drinks each week. A standard drink is generally equivalent to 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor. For adults who choose to drink, federal dietary guidelines recommend no more than two drinks per day for men and one for women.
The study found those who reported heavy drinking over all four years had a 47% increased risk of AFib compared to non-drinkers. The researchers controlled for a multitude of factors, including age, sex, smoking status, exercise level and a variety of conditions linked to heart problems.
The findings, presented earlier this month at AHA's virtual Scientific Sessions conference, are considered preliminary until a full paper is published in a peer-reviewed journal.
The results may not be applicable to all races and ethnicities since the study population only included Asian people. Another limitation is that people may not accurately remember or report their level of alcohol consumption.
"This is the first study that demonstrates the effect of alcohol in a younger population," said Dr. Peter Noseworthy, an electrophysiologist and professor of medicine at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, who was not involved in the study. "And even though the absolute risks are small in that age group, because of a very large sample, the authors quite clearly demonstrate a dose-related effect of alcohol on atrial fibrillation risk, similar to what we've seen in older populations."
When someone in their 20s or 30s develops AFib, he said, "it's not uncommon that it appears that alcohol is at least an exacerbating factor. So, I think it's important for us to talk to our patients about that, and it's nice to have some more definitive evidence that there's an association there."

Q: Instruction set implementation for a simple VM Suppose you need to implement a toy VM(such for Brainfuck) where you have an external data structure representing the memory(a simple fixed array), and a ComputationalUnit object which cares of acting operations from a given set.
What is the most efficient way to implement the last to make easy adding instruction, other than a giant switch calling the right method given the instruction.
Assume instruction are read from a file or from user input as a String or char(brainfuck case) or by regret parsing.
If the answer involves a design pattern, I would be pleased to be redirected.
Thanks to all.
NB: I'm asking for a structure, Java is not an issue

A: Generally a giant switch is the way to go.
You may wrap instructions into classes, give them access to memory/registers and implement something like execute(some context) - thus adding instructions will be reduced to adding new classes. Of course, you will need a kind of instruction parser, in this approach the parser must be somehow initialized based on the list of available instructions.
You may use the approach, similar to what HW developers do - make an analogue of a microcode - split VM instuctions into smaller actions and process these actions in a smaller switch, e.g. loading a value from memory to stack can be split into 2 operations - loading some data from memory into temporary register and pushing this register to stack - each operation can be later reused.

Capacity crowd thrills to performance from St. Laurence O'Toole
A splendid evening of music was held last Saturday in the Slieve Donard Hotel, Newcastle when the St. Laurence O'Toole Pipe band performed their three-hour extravaganza of Traditional Scottish and Irish Piping and drumming.
In front of a packed to capacity audience, Pipe Major Terry Tully and his band gave an exciting and imaginative performance, which thrilled the crowd of enthusiastic supporters.
For anyone who didn't get along to the event, BBC Radio Ulster recorded the evening and it will be broadcast on the Tommy Miller show later this year.
Certainly a big thank you and much credit must go to Chairman Gary McDonald and Banbridge Pipe Band for arranging such an entertaining evening, and we hope there will be many more top pipe band shows brought to Northern Ireland.
The Malahide Festival of Piping and Drumming takes place next Friday and Saturday, 14th and 15th May, at Malahide Castle Grounds in the South of Ireland.
The Friday event is the invitational solo competition, which will be adjudicated by Tom Anderson, the new Pipe Major of Grade 2 Niagara Regional Police from Ontario, and Ian MacLellan ex Pipe Major of the Strathclyde Police Pipe Band.
Around 40 entries have been received for the Malahide event and they include all the top Grade 1 bands from Ireland. They are St.Laurence O'Toole, Field Marshal Montgomery, Ballycoan, Ravara and Bleary & District.
Malcolm MacKenzie and Ian Wood will join Tom Anderson and Ian MacLellan to adjudicate the piping and Ciaran Mordaunt and Gordon Parkes will judge the drumming.
The Ensemble men are John Noble and Denver Cardwell.
The Glasgow Pipes and Drums is a new Grade One pipe band that is a union of the former pipe corps of the David Urquart Travel Pipes and Drums and many of the members of the former world championship winning drum corps of the Royal Ulster Constabulary.
These two units have decided to create a new pipe band and have chosen the name of the Glasgow Pipes and Drums.
The band was granted Grade 1 status at the recent AGM of the RSPBA in March this year.
This makes it only the third newly formed band in the RSPBA history to be put straight into Grade 1.
The Pipe Major is Don Bradford and the Leading Drummer is Gary Corkin. Don was the Pipe Major of the David Urquart Travel band for the 2002 and 2003 seasons. He was also Pipe Major of the band from 1989 to 1992 when it was sponsored by Black Bottle Whiskey.
Originally from Northern Ireland he started piping at the age of 12, where his first band was the Howard memorial under Pipe Major Rab Moffett, in 1981. He was also a member of McNeillstown Grade 1 under Pipe Major Frank Andrews, Boghall & Bathgate, Field Marshal Montgomery under Pipe Major Richard Parkes, Strathclyde Police, 78th Fraser Highlanders and the David Urquart Travel Pipes and Drums.
He is also a well known composer with tunes such as the Sandpiper, Spice of Life, Isle of Jura and the Calm before the Storm which have all been performed by Field Marshal Montgomery.
Glasgow Pipes and Drums has its drum corps rooted in the drum corps of the Royal Ulster Constabulary. Gary Corkin was the Leading Drummer of the RUC from 1988 to 2000, during which time the corps succeeded in winning 35 major championships prizes. The drum corps won the World Championships in 2000.
The band has a multi talented line up of pipers and drummers, which includes many from Northern Ireland.

Movie Review: Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse
I saw this film pop-up on a random youtube advertisement and honestly it did not look appealing whatsoever. But, I have a soft spot for zombie genre films as I have been an avid fan for over 20 years. Yes, there was zombie films before the Walking Dead.
As per Rotten Tomatoes: Three scouts join forces with one badass cocktail waitress to become the world's most unlikely team of heroes. When their peaceful town is ravaged by a zombie invasion, they'll fight for the badge of a lifetime and put their scouting skills to the test to save mankind from the undead.
Rating by Rotten Tomatoes: 4.7/10 IMDB rating: 6.4/10 Metracritic: 32/100
Critics Consensus: Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse fails to live up to its intriguingly wacky title, instead delivering yet another zombie comedy-thriller with a tired T&A twist.
Let's not beat this film up so quickly.
What this film industry needs is to have the 80's B-rated genre make an epic return. The box office has been on a dry spell since the summer, and this film was overlooked in the theatre because it was not considered a blockbuster. It was clearly evident it was going to "cheesey" as one would say, but it should discredit the angle it was attempting to go. This film joins the ranks of films like Cooties(released earlier this year with Elijah Wood) that was completely B-rated but was fun to watch. Over the top gore, really bad horror movie cliches and a nobody teenager emerging as a hero are all ingredients of an epic B-Rated Zombie flick. And this film delivers on it. How could you not watch a film that has a stripper who turned zombie still pole dance until her head falls off?
Understanding the film is based on some teenage friends who were still in Scouts that overcome their personal issues and save the town from a zombie apocalypse is not necessarily a bad film plot. We have B-Rated films about a telekinetic tires and killer gingerbread cookies. So this film isn't a far stretch. But what really made me enjoy this film is that only 2 people were known in this film. And they weren't even in the main cast. David Koechner(Which can be found in any Will Ferrell film as a comedic relief character) and Patrick Schwarzenegger. You read that right, Arnie's kid plays an bullying jock.
Overall, I would recommend anyone to give this film a watch mainly due to it's over the top gore and humor. Even though this will never reach a high caliber zombie film, but it still was a fun flick!

How to Ride Like a Royal
Travel through California the way Meghan and Harry would on one of these luxury excursions
Millions of royal wedding watchers obsessed over Price Harry and Meghan Markle, who rode through the streets of Windsor in a horse-drawn carriage on their wedding day. But an Ascot Landau (the expected chariot of choice) is only one of the many ways in which Prince Harry and Meghan Markle get around in style. From private helicopters to luxurious yachts, this pair knows how to travel. You too can ride like a royal with these absolutely California experiences fit for a duchess and duke.
Climb into a 'copter
During his deployment to Afghanistan, Prince Harry flew Apache attack helicopters for the British Armed Forces. Today, he and Markle more often opt for more relaxing chopper rides. Book your own heli experience with the Viator VIP: Napa by Helicopter, which transports guests from San Francisco to Napa Valley's Silverado Trail for an afternoon of tapas and wine-tasting. Itching to get in the cockpit yourself? Take the introductory lesson at Vertical CFI in nearby Hayward. During the 30-minute ride, you'll be able to take the controls and fly (under the careful eye of the pilot, of course).
Rip through the desert
Prince Harry has his motorcycle license and has been spotted riding roadways all over the world. Get a royal thrill in Palm Springs by renting a set of wheels (or two) at Eaglerider to rip through wide desert roads. Consider a trip to the nearby Sunnylands estate, where Prince Harry's grandma, the Queen of England herself, once enjoyed a luncheon. The chic Sparrows Lodge will provide the ideal complement to your Harley-Davidson day. Refresh in your room's rain shower and deep horse-trough bathtub, and reserve a couple's massage in the lodge's outdoor gardens.
Meghan and Harry's 18-month-long romance involved heavy jetting between London and Toronto, where the California-born actress filmed the TV series Suits. But you don't need to be in a high-profile long-distance relationship to enjoy the luxury of a private charter. The Early Air Way serves the Monterey Peninsula, whisking high-flyers to the stunning city from all over the world. Make sure you're fresh for the golf course at Pebble Beach by ordering an in-flight massage. Or wait until you're on solid ground to get the royal treatment at the Vista Blue Spa at Monterey Plaza, named one of the top 25 spas by Travel + Leisure.
Ride the rails
Is there anything more refined than a luxurious train excursion in a private car? Harry and Meghan have been known to book first-class tickets on the Heathrow Express, but you can have an even better view on the Starline Tours California Coast & Ride. The three-day trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco snakes along the majestic California shoreline. "Day two" even includes a look into the life of American royalty with a tour of Hearst Castle, the 163-room former home of the late media magnate William Randolph Hearst.
Cruise around in luxury wheels
The royal family's fleet includes a Rolls-Royce Phantom VI, Audi A8, Aston Martin DB6, and Jaguar XJ. Find your dream vacation ride at Beverly Hills Rent-a-Car. Choose among the premium exotics, luxury cars, and premium SUVs, including a Rolls-Royce Dawn, Ferrari Portofino, and more. Zoom around town, stopping for a studio tour of Sony Pictures, where a young Meghan often visited her father, a tech on the set of Married With Children. Ask for the valet at Sugarfish by Sushi Nozawa or Terroni, two of the actress's favorite L.A. eateries.
Sail a private yacht
Make like the world's hottest couple and take to the seas with OC Yacht Rentals. Meghan and Harry are reported to have chartered a pre-wedding yacht to sail through the Greek Isles, and you can float through your own slice of paradise, pushing out from Newport Beach in Orange County. Choose from the Villa, an intimate 10-passenger yacht, the (ahem) Royal Princess, a 150-capacity beauty, or anything in between. Sip Champagne as you sunbathe on the bow and enjoy views of the clear blue Pacific.
Soar over vineyards
Few things say "pure romance" more than a hot-air balloon ride over rolling vineyards. Meghan has been snapped gazing at the balloons while on vacation in Cappadocia, and one of the first balloon launches occurred on the grounds of Versailles (bien sur!). Temecula Valley, just east of San Diego, is famous for its beautiful ballooning. Book an off-the-ground wine country tour (complete with tasting) through The Grape Escape, or head to the Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival, held this year on June 1–3.
No matter what sort of transport suits your fancy, these on-the-go experiences are sure to make you feel like you're in line for the throne. Remember to practice your curtsy, pack your tiara, and get ready to travel through California with style and grace.

As it swept through Iraq, the "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS) laid waste to numerous mosques and houses of worship, using many of those that were spared as pulpits from which to propagate its deviant ideology.
In the most recent example of its wanton destruction, the group on Wednesday (June 21st) blew up Mosul's Grand al-Nuri Mosque and its historic al-Hadba (hunchback) minaret, which had graced the skyline for centuries.
Over the course of its three-year occupation, ISIS damaged or destroyed hundreds of other mosques, shrines, churches and temples in Mosul alone, deeming them "illegitimate" based on its own radical ideology.
The remaining mosques were turned into military barracks, weapons stores, munitions workshops and hotbeds of extremist ideology, distorting their reputation as houses of prayer and violating their sanctity.
ISIS has "greatly damaged the noble religious and moral role of mosques", said Sheikh Mohammed al-Shammaa, imam and preacher of al-Nabi Yunus Shrine.
"The terrorists have turned these places of worship into media platforms through which they promote their nonsense and beliefs that are a far cry from the essence and teachings of Islam," he told Diyaruna.
They sought, through their preachers, to poison people's minds and spread extremism, he added, while moderate preachers were forced into exile.
"Worshippers preferred to perform their five [daily] prayers and Friday prayer in their homes instead of coming to mosques and hearing sermons full of hatred and violence towards everything," he said.
During the battles to liberate the city, ISIS fighters holed up in local mosques, he said, using many of them as military barracks.
"When houses of God become barricades, weapon stores and explosive-making workshops and are used as bases to launch suicide and sniper attacks against security troops and civilians, that is the height of baseness and barbarism," he said.
"Dozens of ancient places of worship, including al-Nabi Yunus Shrine, were blown up by the terrorists without a shred of respect for their historic status as landmarks tied to Mosul's cultural identity," al-Shammaa said.
"ISIS has no moral or religious holdbacks. It is inhumane and devoid of any values," Iraqi Scholars Association head Sheikh Khalid al-Mullah told Diyaruna.
The group has destroyed places of worship associated with all religions, he said.
ISIS has even turned the remaining mosques in Mosul into fortresses, his said, in blatant disregard for their sanctity as houses of worship, even in Ramadan.
"ISIS has revealed its true nature as a group without religion or concern for its crimes against human beings and stones alike," Sheikh Shihab al-Shuwaili, secretary of Sheikh Mohammed al-Kulaini Shrine in Baghdad, told Diyaruna.
"Even houses of God and religious shrines have not escaped these crimes," he said. "They have destroyed them to distort Islam's image and blur the principles of tolerance, religious co-existence and justice guaranteed by our religion."
"The terrorists have fought all religions and sects and prohibited people from holding their rites and rituals based on a deviant religious interpretation that decrees those who do not believe in their ideas infidels," al-Shuwaili said.
"These are not the enemy of just a certain sect, religion or ethnicity and not the other, but they are the enemies of all Iraqis and the whole of humanity, and the time has come to extinguish them," he said.
The problem is deep and it's ideological because of the backwardness in our country. We mustn't say that Iraq has degrees and so on … Even those holding degrees have wrong ideas. Doesn't the government have people with scientific experiences, but not humanitarian principles? Many people are poor, but they're wise in their poverty and aren't humiliated by the will of ignorance.
The reason for the destruction and devastation of Iraq, rather all countries, is Ibn Taymiyyah who ISIS takfirists followed in his footsteps. They killed, spilled blood, violated sanctities, and usurped rights. However, religious scholar al-Sarkhi has strongly confronted that misguided ideology and mocked it in his lectures on creed.
When you say the 'Islamic State', you're attacking the values of Islam. This group has nothing to do with our religion. It's a Zionist organisation aimed at destroying Islam. Ibn Taymiyyah al-Harani founded that group to attack Mohammed's Islam and destroy it. However, thanks to Allah and the efforts of Muslim scholars and thinkers, like the great al-Sarkhi al-Hasani, everything has become crystal clear, and the falsehood of that extremist, takfirist ideology has been exposed.
ISIS is the result of the ideology of Ibn Taymiyyah who used Takfir, rather than thinking, as an approach to justify the spilling of the blood of Muslims of all sects, as well as non-Muslims, including Sabians and Yazidis. All this was to realise his own interests and spread his influence and perverted ideology; he doesn't care about any prophets or places of worship. Everyone was a target of his criminality.
Ibn Taymiyyah's stereotypical, backward ideology means destruction and devastation to Muslim countries. The symbols of our religion must disavow this deadly, obscurantist ideology and confront it intellectually and in the media before it turns into a military ideology.
All this terrorism is because of the misguided ideology which Ibn Taymiyyah and his followers brought over.
Al-Hadbaa Minaret had been built by an infidel butcher who destroyed Islam and Muslims and violated the sanctities of thousands of women. We don't want al-Hadbaa which was built by someone who was cursed by God. Every drop of blood spilled from Iraq's heroes around Mosul and al-Hadbaa is worth a million minarets like al-Hadbaa.
Mosul residents have been continuing their daily ritual of worship despite 'Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant' attacks targeting mosques.
The 'Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant' wreaked havoc in one of the city's most iconic sites, which once attracted pilgrims from all over the world.
A joint committee is working to ensure that pulpits are not used to spread the extremist ideology of the 'Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant'.

Discussion in 'What Notebook Should I Buy?' started by CivicJDM, Feb 12, 2019.
Hi there. I currently I have a Clevo P650SE with i7-4720HQ, GTX 970M 3GB and 1080p 60Hz IPS display. I'm looking to purchase a laptop with the GTX 1070 within the next 3 months once prices have dropped following the release of the RTX series.
First of all, I'm interested in buying a laptop with NVIDIA G-Sync as I find myself experiencing bad eyestrain if the framerate drops below 60FPS causing stuttering and screen-tearing. But I know the GTX 1070 can run almost everything at 60FPS without framedrops which makes me wonder whether it is even necessary to have G-Sync at the expense of NVIDIA Optimus battery savings?
Also, I was hoping to upgrade in terms of screen resolution to either QHD or 4K UHD for photo editing and content creation. I'd still be gaming at 1080p in most scenarios. But I've been stuggling to find any laptops which have both QHD/UHD and G-Sync. So far I have only found the Aorus X5 v7 which comes with both. Would gaming at 1080p on a QHD/UHD display provide less sharpness in comparison to a native 1080p display?
Finally, I see a lot of hype surrounding 120Hz/144Hz displays but I don't know whether it's something worth considering in a GTX 1070 laptop. None of my favourite games can run at maximum settings at 120FPS on the GTX 1070 so I would have to lower the graphical settings down by a preset to achieve this framerate. Personally I have no problem gaming at 60FPS but then, I have never experienced 120FPS so I don't know whether it's worth it. Is gaming at 60FPS on a 120Hz display is any worse than 60FPS on a 60Hz display?
Which do you consider to be most important between G-Sync, QHD/UHD & 120Hz/144Hz (on a GTX 1070 laptop) and in which order of priority?
at the expense of NVIDIA Optimus battery savings?
Optimus, and similar switchable graphics systems, are not exactly silver bullets when it comes to battery savings. Most gaming notebooks take severe compromises on battery life and as such, trading in G-SYNC for Optimus is a bad bet. Look at reviews for systems such as the Asus GM501GS, etc. Optimus won't fix bad battery life on a laptop with a low capacity battery for its' hardware configuration.
Would gaming at 1080p on a QHD/UHD display provide less sharpness in comparison to a native 1080p display?
Beats the point of getting a high resolution panel if you're going to downscale the in-game resolution to match expected performance. See the next point.
The hype is real, especially if you're into first person shooters. Infact, with a GTX 1070 (or a 1070 Max Q, even) driving a high refresh panel AT 1080p, nearly all modern first person shooters will take full advantage of the high refresh rate (120Hz+) and with G-SYNC, provide an excellent tear-free experience for these situations where hitting an FPS at or beyond the display's refresh rate is unattainable.
1. G-SYNC. (Also pay attention to the display outputs available to your laptop and to what GPU(s) they're wired to, especially on switchable graphics systems. Rule of thumb: If your machine is branded as VR Ready, its' display ports are wired solely to the discrete GPU, and that's what you want to guarantee that G-SYNC is also available with external displays, where available.).
(a). Insist on getting a G-SYNC capable laptop.
(b). High refresh rate is a second priority. Even where G-SYNC isn't available, equip yourself with a high refresh panel.
(c). Resolution: For a 1070, stick to 1080p. Here, using (b): High refresh panels is a viable option, as you'll be able to hit these frame rate targets. Yes, you will have to lower some settings. And this can be done with negligible loss in perceived visual quality, especially in fast paced first person shooters.
With that said, it still comes down to your personal preferences and the budget available to you. This is your rig. And it should only exist to both serve and meet your needs, so take any feedback, even this one, with a grain of salt. What works for me may not be ideal for you, especially if you're into production-grade video editing (where a wide-color gamut + a high resolution display beyond 1080p may serve you better, for example).
aenews and CivicJDM like this.
Well, first of all thanks for the helpful and informative response. I really appreciate the feedback as I have no experience with any of these technologies and therefore it's difficult to decide which matters the most.
Yes, I see your point about how G-Sync doesn't matter as much as battery capacity. I only expressed concern in regards to this because in the NotebookCheck review of the Aorus X5 v7 they mentioned how the always-active GTX 1070 contributed to high power consumption. But it's not a huge deal because I have my laptop plugged into the mains about 85% of the time, anyway. And it sure beats having sore, irritated eyes as a result of framerate stuttering.
Yeah. I do still think that screen resolution is something that would come in handy for my photo editing and stuff. It was always one of the key things I wanted to upgrade over my current laptop. Unfortunately there don't seem to be many laptops with both G-Sync and QHD displays, let alone 120Hz as well. If there was a laptop with all three technologies it would be the ideal solution. But sadly there isn't, which means a difficult choice between them. I do think that your suggestion of G-Sync & 120Hz is probably the best way to go. And there are A LOT more laptops available with that combination. I just wish there was a way of getting at least QHD resolution in there as well. I'm still worried about what 60FPS would look like on a 120Hz G-Sync panel, though. Would it be worse than 60FPS on a 60Hz panel, or would there be no perceivable difference?
The big consideration for image editing is gamut. Most screens seem to be around 72% NTSC (i. e. somewhat less than a CRT). There are some that are 100% or close to it, and a screen like that will make your life a lot easier. My previous laptop (Dell Precision M6500) had a 72% display (not spec'ed, but I measured it with DisplayCAL). Colors were always washed out, and as a result I went way too hard on the saturation/vibrance. My current laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad P70) has a close-to-100%, UHD screen, with much better color rendition.
What you really, really want to avoid for image editing is a TN screen. Those screens have big color shifts if you're off axis; if you go far enough, the colors can actually reverse. If you think about it, if you're looking at the center of the screen the edges and especially corners will be significantly off-axis. For that purpose, you want an IPS or PLS type display. However, TN screens have faster response, hence higher usable frame rate.
Some interesting points. The viewing angles of the 120Hz TN panel was one of my concerns although I didn't think about it in regards to the effect it would have on image editing. Ah, I had a similar experience with my old Acer Aspire V3-571G. Horrid laptop. The glossy screen was the most godawful thing I have ever used with a contrast ratio of 132:1, maximum brightness of 205 nits and the worst viewing angles you've ever seen. Thankfully the IPS screen on my Clevo has been MUCH better with 886:1 contrast ratio and 96% sRGB coverage.
If it comes down to a choice between resolution vs. refresh rate, then I'm slightly more tempted towards resolution for the obvious advantages with image editing and viewing angles; since I don't have any problems gaming at 60FPS and I rarely play any FPS games. But it is hard finding a laptop that has both QHD/UHD and G-Sync. It also leads me back onto my previous question, for those games that can't run 60FPS at maximum resolution, would gaming at 1080p on a QHD/UHD display provide the appearance of less sharpness in comparison to a native 1080p display?
Personally I'd only get 2160P/60Hz. Though it's probably not an option for most Clevo resellers, having a 1440P/120Hz Display would be optimal. Definitely far better than 1080P yet still allowing for very high refresh rate. I just wouldn't ever consider 1080P/144Hz. For gaming purposes, you'll want higher refresh rate.
As long as the display is not Pentile, then gaming at 1080P on a 2160P Display will be perfectly fine with no disadvantages. Gaming at 60FPS on a 120FPS Monitor does not matter at all.
Thanks for the response! After thinking about this for a while and I definitely agree it'd be a mistake for me to invest in another laptop with a 1080p display. It's one of my biggest criticisms with my Clevo P650SE when working on photo-editing projects in Photoshop. So it would make no sense to purchase another laptop with the same problem.
Yes, I do believe a 1440p/120Hz panel would be ideal but I can't seem to find many 15.6" laptops with the luxury of both high-resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Although I heard these may start becoming more commonplace (at least in in Clevo models) around May 2019 in RTX laptops.
Your last few points are very helpful. Good to know that gaming at 60FPS on a 120Hz monitor does not make a difference. Likewise with gaming at 1080p on a 1440p or 4K panel.
Back in 2015 I actually used an MSI GS60 for a couple of days with a Pentile (4K) panel. It was not good at all. I have also tried smartphones with Pentile (1080p) and thought they looked awful in comparison to a typical RGB arrangement.
Glad my advice was helpful! Unfortunately, my own Sager NP8153 has a 4K RG-BW Pentile 60Hz G-Sync Display.
Just as an aside, it's very different for smartphones. Samsung's OLED displays for mobile are RG-BG Pentile which is far superior to the RG-BW we see on laptops. Essentially, the former has the full number of G subpixels but half the number of R and half the number of B subpixels. The logic behind the technology is that our eyes are most sensitive to changes in G resolution. Pentile for laptops is much worse because rather than having the G subpixel, there's simply a W sub-pixel for additional brightness. Hence, the number of all subpixels are halved. Not to mention that most Pentile displays for laptops are not particularly good panels in general whereas Samsung's OLED are top of the line in almost every area.
An RG-BG 4K Pentile Display would have the same number of R and B subpixels as a 1528P display while G subpixel density would be 1:1 unchanged. An RG-BW 4K Pentile Display would have the same number of all (R, G, and B) subpixels as a 1528P Display.
Glad my advice was helpful! Unfortunately, my own Sager NP8153 has a 4K RG-BW Pentile Display.
An RG-BG 4K Pentile Display would have the same number of RB subpixels as a 1528P display and G subpixel resolution would be 1:1 unchanged. An RG-BW 4K Pentile Display would have the same number of all (R, G, and B) subpixels as a 1528P Display.
That makes sense. I seem to remember reading about this a few years back, but I had completely forgotten the technical details about it. Honestly I didn't realise that AMOLED panels on Samsung's smartphones used a Pentile arrangement. Whenever I've seen Samsung displays in phone stores they always look fantastic. Maybe it's because they are QHD rather than 1080p. I was more thinking of phones like the OnePlus 3 which is 1080p Pentile. You don't have to look that close to see the lack of sharpness and 'fuzzy' appearance on those panels.
Either way, I will definitely make sure to research the displays on any laptops I consider before purchasing anything. I find that NotebookCheck is very helpful in most cases. Even if they don't have a review on a specific laptop, you can often find other laptops they have reviewed with the exact same panel.
I found that the display used in my Clevo P650SE is also the same panel as found in the Acer Aspire V5-573G, Gigabyte P55K and MSI GL62.
Yeah the OnePlus 3 (and all later OP Phones) uses a S-AMOLED panel from Samsung. In general, all [modern] OLED for smartphones are Pentile. Unless it's from LG, it's also a Samsung panel. Most likely you just noticed that the 1080P Pentile display was less sharp but didn't notice the same on the 1440P Pentile display since you didn't look closely enough to differentiate, given the higher pixel density. Personally, I have a Note 9 and OnePlus 6T currently. I know it won't happen, but I hope that there's a QHD Display on the OnePlus 7. I also know it won't happen, but it would be nice if Samsung started using Full RGB OLED panels in smartphones. I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 which actually does have a Full RGB QHD Display (similar to its predecessors).
Knowing that Samsung will start making 4K OLED panels for laptops in the hopefully near future, I wonder if they'll be Full RGB or RG-BG Pentile.


At this writing, there are over 400,000 books on selling available on Amazon.com. What does that say? It says that no one has cracked he code. Buyer needs change, technologies emerge, economies ebb and flow. But what will never go out of style is how your buyer and/or buying organization chooses to purchase what you and your competition sell.
So why fight it? Effective selling skills are always in fashion, but a need exists for a validated sales process that helps you sell to your customers in the way they want to buy. The essence of buyer-based selling is this – use process over your product to generate dialogs that put you the salesperson in the position to make an intelligent recommendation. Yes, you have to make the sale, hit quota, meet profit targets. But your best business is going to come from opportunities where you leveraged your knowledge up front to shape a conversation strategy that moved a buyer and their stakeholders to a place where they see the incontestable value of your solution.
The term intelligent recommendation comes from the fact that you're combining your pre-pursuit research and buyer spoken words about solving their problems to make a recommendation for your product or service. It's not about features and benefits - rather it's about alignment of your solution with the issues at hand. Features and benefits act as reinforcement for how it works and validates that your recommendation is sound.
POINT: Meaning more to customers is about adding such rich and deep value that your relationship transcends the product.
A company cannot grow consistently unless the sales process is repeatable, non arbitrary, and aligned with how clients buy. That's why companies investing in a defined sales process experience a minimum of 5-10% revenue growth when a formal process is followed consistently (Sales Leadership in Action, 2010). Organizations without a documented sales process often exhibit several common symptoms, such as a disconnected and manual approach to selling and a lengthy cycle time to find prospects, get quotes out the door, and close orders.
Companies, not just their sales organizations, need to map the critical client interactions that reinforce the value they deliver through their processes, products and services. The goal of a validated sales process is to make routine the manner in which the entire organization engages clients. It's a process designed to maximize each and every touchpoint they with a client and to thus drive greater buying commitment and post purchase satisfaction.

ING signs Memorandum of Understanding with LogicaCMG for outsourcing
WEBWIRE – Wednesday, April 26, 2006
Amsterdam, 26 April 2006, Today ING announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with IT services provider LogicaCMG for outsourcing activities in the field of application development, IT maintenance and testing of IT systems mainly relating to ING's banking operations. The number of employees that will be affected amounts to approximately 350 all of which in the Netherlands.
The intended transaction is part of ING's efficiency programme for the Operations & IT organisation in the Benelux that was announced on 2 November 2005, resulting in a total of about 2,200 FTE's being transferred to outsourcing partners. The goal of the programme is to improve efficiency and to lift ING's banking operations to a higher level of operational excellence. ING expects total annual cost savings of approximately EUR 230 million and non-recurring costs of about EUR 180 million as a result of the entire efficiency programme (outsourcing, streamlining and downsizing of external staff).
The final contract with LogicaCMG is expected to be signed this summer, representing the first large outsourcing contract as a result of the efficiency programme announced last November. The value of the contract is expected to be over EUR 200 million based on a six-year period.
ING attaches great importance to carefully managing the interests of employees affected by outsourcing. In this context, ING recently reached an agreement with the Dutch labour unions regarding a Social Framework Sourcing in which the job security of affected employees is laid down. The labour conditions agreed with LogicaCMG in the MoU are in line with this Social Framework.
The transaction is pending advice from the Works Councils and negotiations with the labour unions about employment conditions. The intention is that all affected employees will be transferred to LogicaCMG.
ING is a global financial institution of Dutch origin offering banking, insurance and asset management to over 60 million private, corporate and institutional clients in over 50 countries. With a diverse workforce of about 114.000 people, ING comprises a broad spectrum of prominent companies that increasingly serve their clients under the ING brand.

The North American Alps - A Backpackers Paradise
The North Cascades have long been known as the North American Alps. Located in Washington, characterized by rugged beauty, this steep mountain range is filled with jagged peaks, deep valleys, cascading waterfalls and glaciers. North Cascades National Park Service Complex contains the heart of this mountainous region in three park units which are all managed as one and include North Cascades National Park, Ross Lake and Lake Chelan National Recreation Areas.
Each area offers different experiences and contains wilderness. Over 93% of the park complex is managed as the Stephen T. Mather Wilderness, which was established by Congress in 1988. The wilderness area was named in honor of the first director of the National Park Service.
A Backpackers Paradise
Backpacking Trails & Loops
Less than three hours from Seattle, an alpine landscape beckons. Discover communities of life adapted to moisture in the west and recurring fire in the east. Explore jagged peaks crowned by more than 300 glaciers. Listen to cascading waters in forested valleys. Witness a landscape sensitive to the Earth's changing climate.
The best way to see North Cascades is by foot. Hike the North Cascades to experience the some of the finest mountain country in North America. This park is one of the least visited parks in the United States. With only one road cutting through the park, much of the landscape is left to explore to those who are willing to hike or backpack. For this reason, North Cascades is a backpackers paradise.
Fancy a peaceful stroll?
Short or long, low elevation or high, there are hundreds of miles of trails awaiting your discovery throughout the season.
Plant life in the North Cascades is extremely varied, reflecting differences in rock and soil types, exposure, slope, elevation, and rainfall. Eight distinctive life zones support thousands of different plant species in the North Cascades greater ecosystem. No other US National Park surpasses North Cascades National Park in the number of plant species recorded.
The North Cascades is one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. Animals with fins, fur, feathers and scales are all at home in this dramatic and beautiful environment. Elusive mammals like the gray wolf, fisher and wolverine wander the wilderness in small numbers, while more adaptable Columbia black-tailed deer, Douglas squirrels and pikas delight park visitors in abundance.
Scenic Vistas
The North Cascades are a strikingly beautiful, breath-taking range of rugged peaks. From views of glacier clad peaks to cascading waterfalls to long valley lakes and views that encompass all of the above, North Cascades National Park Service Complex is undeniably picturesque.
Along Highway 20 through the heart of the park are numerous scenic turnouts with interpretive displays and information boards, such as the Diablo and Ross Lake overlooks. The former affords a magnificent view not only of Diablo Lake, but also of Colonial Peak and its accompanying glaciers while the latter provides visitors with a vista that stretches all the way into Canada taking in Ross Lake, Jack Mountain and Hozomeen Mountain along the way.
What is perhaps the most popular and widely photographed view of the park is actually seen from the aptly named Picture Lake in Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest to the west of the park. The spot is the starting point of a popular climbing route, which leads into the park and eventually to the summit of Mt. Shuksan. Adventurous climbers often brave the crevassed glaciers and long steep slopes of this or othrer popular climbing routes to gain spectacular panoramas from high upon these splendid mountains.
Glaciers & Glacier Features
Glaciers glisten as the most striking mountaintop feature of the North Cascades. Boasting over 300 glaciers and countless snowfields, the North Cascades National Park Service Complex is one of the snowiest places on earth and the most heavily glaciated area in the United States outside of Alaska.

A zoo official who was responsible for poisoning two giraffes, killing one, has resigned.
The unidentified apprentice at Reid Park Zoo, Tucson, accidentally mixed up the plants and gave the giraffes leaves from a deadly plant.
He was said to be 'horrified and devastated' by his mistake.
Zoo officials told 9 On Your Side the apprentice accidentally mixed in the leaves of an Oleander plant with leaves from other plants and fed them to the giraffes. Oleander can be deadly if eaten by animals.
Watoto, the zoo's only male giraffe, died July 19 after eating the toxic leaves.
The Oleander was put into two of the four giraffe stalls on Monday night.
Jim Schnormeier, the head curator at the zoo, said the next morning, Watoto acted very unusually.
He said: 'He was lethargic. He was laying down and very seldom do you see a giraffe lay down, his appetite wasn't there.
The apprentice was said to be part of a 12-month programme run by the zoological society and was due to run out in September.
Zoo officials said it was his own decision to resign but they did not tryu to talk him out of it.
They said he was studying to become a zoo keeper and is distraught about what happened.
The other giraffe, Denver, who ate the toxic leaves is said to be improving.

About Bradfield
The Bradfield electorate is Darramuragal or Darug land who lived in the area for thousands of years.
Geographically Bradfield is located on Sydney's northern ridgeline that follows the Pacific Highway and North Shore railway line - and where its endangered remnant Blue Gum High forests grow. Bradfield suburbs are surrounded by national parks including Lane Cove, Garigal and Ku-ring-gai Chase.
Bradfield is about 101 sq.km and includes the bushland and garden suburbs of Killara, Lindfield, Gordon, Pymble, Turramurra, Wahroonga, Roseville, Castle Cove and parts of Normanhurst, Hornsby and Asquith.
The electorate is named after the respected NSW public servant Dr John Job Crew Bradfield, who was responsible for the expansion and electrification of the suburban rail network - including the north shore railway line that runs to Penrith. Dr Bradfield is best remembered as the chief engineer who supervised the design and construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge that opened in 1932.
Dr Bradfield lived in Park Avenue, Gordon. He is commemorated by a small island garden on Rosedale Road, opposite his home.
There are approximately 96,000 voters in the electorate of Bradfield.

This follows if we assume that 'local entities' are representations that we substitute for the visible (dynamical forms in the flow), rather than being 'real local objects'.
'In reality', … there is no thing apart from the 'representations' we impose on the flow-features in the nonlocal fluid-dynamical continuum of nature, that is 'local'. 'Local' is confined to the realm of 'representations', 'appearances', 'idealisation'.
The storm cell is the result of turbulence in the flow of the atmosphere, not the cause of it. Thus, only the 'representation' that we call a 'cell' is 'local'. In other words, nothing that is perceived as local and independently existing and possessed of 'local agency' is 'real'. It is instead 'representation' or 'appearances' (Schroedinger's 'schaumkommen').
We are using technologies that amplify our 'seeing' to generate more and more 'representations' that are exposing 'what is out there' in the 'outer limits' and, at the same time, exposing 'what is in here' in the 'inner limits'.
'Astrometry' is a technique that was discovered by William Herschel in the late 18th century. Because of the elliptical orbits of planets around the star (sun), the star wobbles due to the 'unseen companion' much as in the micro-realm of 'Brownian motion'. The observation of the wobble implies the 'existence' of the 'unseen companion' .
Representations have grown to include inferences of the existence of things that we cannot even see; e.g. the 'retro-viral inferences' of the alleged 'local existence' of a virus, and once we have defined and named these alleged local existences, we have in effect alluded to 'in the beginning was the word'; i.e. "Every definition [of a representation] implies an axiom, that in which we affirm the existence of the object [representation] defined" (John Stuart Mill).
The 'problem' with accepting representations as 'reliable substitutes for the visible', in a world of flow (transforming energy-field-flow), an 'interdependent' world that quantum physicists describe as a world of 'thingless connectedness' (i.e. as in a fluid-dynamical continuum), is this problem with 'spatial context' as is readily 'visible' in the case of a storm-cell in the atmosphere; i.e. the cell is the result of the turbulent flow of the atmosphere rather than the cause of it. In order to understand what the storm-cell is (where it comes from) and why it behaves the way it does, we have to open our minds to the spatial context, the flow dynamics in the entirety of the atmosphere and the ocean currents (and beyond).
In fact our knowledge comes in discipline-segregated archipelagos rather than in a single island, further amplifying the growth of shorelines of ignorance (and 'circles of confusion'!).
When we orient to the 'thingless connectedness' of quantum reality, what we have been calling 'local material objects/organisms' become secondary to the spatial-relational thingless-connectedness, the flow in which there are continuously gathering and re-gathering flow features which we, the 'Enlightenment observer' impose our 'representations' on, and then proceed to regard these representations as 'reliable substitutes for the visible'.
These differences in how we see things are foundational to two very different, elemental concepts of 'morality'.
Can we trust our 'representations'? Or, should our understanding put more weight on spatial relations? When we look at a man or woman, should we see them as local organisms with their own local agency, as the local causal source of 'their own behaviour', or should we see them and their behaviours as the 'result' rather than the 'source' of the spatial dynamics they are included in?
Can we judge their actions as 'good' or 'bad' if their actions are not really 'theirs' but derive from the spatial dynamics they are included in?
Pasteur inverted the standard Enlightenment 'causal model' in renouncing his initial theory that 'microbes cause disease', observing instead that 'le microbe n'est rien, le terrain est tout' (The microbes are nothing, the terrain is everything). His point was that the proliferation of microbes was the result of the condition of the terrain rather than the cause of it. Believers in the health stabilizing quality of vitamins such as vitamin C and D3 would say the same, and while medical science will be furthering its understanding as to how the diverse multiplicity of interdependent dynamics of nutrients, proteins, enzymes and trace elements cultivate and sustain that resilient dynamic balance in 'the terrain' that we call 'health', such inquiry is being given a back seat to research into the development of anti-pathogens, that associates with the Enlightenment model of 'representations' that are the basis for our notion of the local existence of, and 'local agency' of 'pathological causal agents', a notion that obscures the evidently (in Aboriginal physics) primary influence of the condition of the terrain.
Was the proliferating of young men doing violence in the streets of Paris in the summer of 1789 the CAUSE of unbalancing in the dynamics of the social terrain, or was it the RESULT of unbalancing in the dynamics of the social terrain?
The problem with the causal model, which keys to the Enlightenment practice of accepting 'representations' as 'reliable substitutes for the visible', is that 'there is good and bad in everything'.
Television advertisements for pharmaceuticals first inform you about the 'good results' that the drug will 'cause' and then give a long, long list of the nasty 'side-effects' that it may also 'cause'. In fact, they will even, implicitly suggest that the causal effect of the drug cannot be isolated and attributed to the drug, because if one takes certain other drugs at the same time, this will change the condition of the body such that the effect of the aforemention 'good-causing-drug' will then be lethal.
The basic problem is that we can't really separate 'causation' on the part of a notional 'local agent' from the 'accommodation' on the part of the terrain due to the condition of the terrain. Does throwing a lit cigarette into the forest 'cause' a forest fire? Not in the rainy season, but when the forest is tinder dry in a hot summer, it's a ticking time bomb waiting for the tiniest perturbation to trigger a violent release of the potential energy that has accrued within the terrain. The same is true of the skier as notional 'causal agent' and the 'accommodating role of the avalanche-ready terrain'.
All we get to see and experience is the net of the 'causal action' and the 'accommodating of the terrain' and there is no way to isolate the relative contribution of each. How much of the turbulence in the atmosphere is due to the 'causal dynamics' of storm cells and how much is due to the response/reaction of the flow of the atmosphere? They answer is that they are both aspects of one terrain-dynamic that we NOTIONALLY split into two by imputing local existence to dynamical forms that are features within the dynamic, continuously-unifying flow.
Moral judgement is always plagued by this ambiguity in the 'causal' model. If we give someone a shove and he trips and falls over a balcony to his death, are we (our action) 'the cause of death', or should we blame the spatial relational aspect, the condition of the terrain? As Nobel laureate in medicine (1937, for Vitamin C research) Albert Szent-Györgyi observed, it is ridiculous to put 'pneumonia' down as the 'cause' of death on death certificates since there are over one hundred bacteria and viruses that can supposedly 'cause' pneumonia, the more true 'cause' being the unstable condition of the terrain of the body due to such things as a deficiency in Vitamin C, chills etc. These bacteria and viruses are around all the time and normally innocuous. Their proliferation is the 'result' of the unstable condition of the terrain rather than the 'cause' of it.
In the realm of 'morality', then, the same sort of questions arise. The mother of a starving child who can't find work may find herself in a terrain that is accommodating only to the giving of sexual favours, and which would otherwise let her and her child starve. Should we say that her sexual promiscuity derives from her own local agency, … that it is the cause of a degrading of the condition of the social terrain, or should we say that, rather than being the cause of the degrading of the condition of the social terrain, it is the result of it?
Moses epitomizes Enlightenment physics where Moral laws (e.g. the Ten Commandments) are based on representations of people as local, independently existing organisms with their own local agency that act/interact as if in absolute space (there is no sense of a conjugate habitat-inhabitant relation) in this view.
The follow-on (mis-)step, when we confuse representations for reality, is to gather together all of the good local agents, separating them from the bad local agents (in denial of the reality that there is good and bad in everything), so as to refine the overall populace by nurturing the proliferation of the good and eliminating the bad. This is the morality embodied in the 'Darwinist' which follows the Enlightenment physics folly of confusing representations that we impose on dynamical forms ('species', 'genes') for 'reality'.
This simple 'linear' (two opposite extremes) based understanding of 'opposition' as in 'good' versus 'evil' deserves further examination.
In Aboriginal physics, there is an acknowledgement of interdependence as associates with the thingless connectedness of quantum physics. The representations of flow-features are not accepted as 'real' local systems with their own local agency. Thus they cannot be judged as being the causal agents of evil-doing or as the causal agents of 'good-doing'; therefore, there is no basis for constructing moral law based on the actions of notional 'local organisms with their own local agency' (these being 'representations that we tend to confuse for reality).
Where conflict emerges in nature, Aboriginal physics see the dynamics of nature as embodying the ethic of restoring, cultivating and sustaining balance. For example, tensions arise between thermal energy 'have' and 'have-not' regions of the equator and poles ('concentric' rather than 'linear' opposition) and convection currents in the oceans and atmosphere spontaneously establish as if in order to heal the 'have' – 'have-not' gap. The same is true in wave dynamics and in the spatial relations between mountains and valleys; i.e. nature spontaneously establishes dynamics to reconcile these tensions of (concentric) opposition and to restore balance. Mountains are like 'lithic waves' and are the fine detail that associates with 'plate tectonics' where nature sets itself in motion to reconcile the 'have' – 'have-not' thermal energy gap, the concentric opposition between the hot rock in the interior and the cold rock covering the surface. Continents are 'representations' or 'appearances'.
Of course, nature has many such 'cycles' going, all at the same time, and all mutually interdependent. This leads to a situation where it is impossible to say 'which is doing what'. This arises whenever there are three or more 'things' moving under one another's simultaneous mutual influence. It arises where three or more drivers in the flow of the freeway are moving under one another's simultaneous mutual influence. In this situation (if we are 'driving friendly') we let the evolving spatial-relational geometry that we are helping to co-creatively shape, 'orchestrate' our individual and collective movements. When a 'hole' opens up spatial possibility for us to move into it, we may do so, but as we do so we open up holes for others to move into and when three or more of us are doing this at the same time, it becomes impossible to describe our movements in terms of 'what we are doing'. This situation parallels that of the wildgeese that stir up the airflow they are included in and let the resonances in the turbulent flow orchestrate their individual and collective movements, which leads to new forms (e.g. the 'V' flying formation) which are elegant but entirely unintended.
There is a 'natural ethic' implied here, because this could never happen if all participants were coming from their own internal purpose and 'competing' with one another. Only if they put their movements in the service of sustaining harmonious flow do these cocreated forms arise which are beyond the intention of any of the participants ('slime-mold' is likely another example of this. So long as we confuse representations of organisms, which purport them to be local systems with their own local agency, for reality, we will continue to try to understand the dynamics of collectives in 'forward-in-time' causal terms. Worse than this, we may get stuck trying to emulate this over-simplistic Enlightenment physics notion of dynamics and work together deliberately, as if we were parts in a bulldozer, without acknowledging our conjugate habitat-inhabitant dynamical relation that allows us to attune to the dynamical spatial context we share inclusion in, and to let our movements serve the cultivating and sustaining of harmonies therein.
This 'ethic' of nature, of the wildgeese and the friendly driver in the flow of the freeway would appear to be the 'evolutionary source'.
As with the friendly drivers in the flow of the freeway and/or the wildgeese, the honey-bee starts out build a spherical container for the larva, but when many honeybees undertake the same thing in the same place, in the busy mutually influencing flow of things, it becomes impossible to distinguish the movements of a particular bee and the spatial relational geometry (the hexagonal cell) is unintended just as the 'V' formation of the wildgeese is unintended. The advantages of the bees letting resonances orchestrate their individual and collective behaviour is great. The shared walls (the outside wall of one cell serves as the inside wall of a neighbouring cell) cut material needs in half and since the bees can either make honey or wax for the cells, they can therefore make twice as much honey thanks to this 'ethic' of giving themselves up to the harmonies that arise in their shared-space dynamics. Such evolution of form is beyond the scope of Darwin's simple 'competition amongst the deliberate causal intentions of notional local organisms with their own local agency, an Enlightenment physics view that fails to acknowledge any 'conjugate habitat-inhabitant relation' as is the origin of the hexagonal cell of the bee. The other advantage is that the bees save 37% waste space as would be between the cells if they built individual spherical cells as some 'relatively unevolved'? insects do. This might in fact be a better use of the terms 'relatively unevolved' since we tend to think of precision machine type organisations of hierarchies, amplified by technology as signally how 'highly evolved' we humans are. Sure, we use these hierarchically ordered machine-like organisations to deliberately do their business as if they were operating in absolute fixed and empty euclidian space; i.e. as if there were no uplift to be found in acknowledging the conjugate habitat-inhabitant relation.
In the following picture, we can see that the evolution of the efficient hexagonal cell 'comes about' when three or more 'cells' develop under one another's simultaneous mutual influence. The don't need a brain or 'deliberate constructive intention' to discover that it makes sense to put their movements in the service of sustaining spatial-relational harmony with their neighbours. Out of this natural ethic of letting one's behaviour be orchestrated by resonances in the dynamic space one is included in, comes the evolution of new, interesting and mutually beneficial form.
What we are looking at in the picture is an expression of the 'conjugate habitat-inhabitant relation' that is intrinsic in nature and is acknowledged in aboriginal physics but not in Enlightenment physics, the latter's way of seeing being based on representations that impute the existence of local independent organisms with their own local agency. There are no explanations of these forms in terms of the actions/interactions of notional local systems with their own local agency. The hexagonal cell shapes are not causally produced by the dynamics of the inhabitants, they are the result of the habitat dynamics in which they are included, as is the case of the 'V' formation of the wildgeese.
The evolution of new and non-deliberately intended dynamic form arises in this manner wherein 'cause' and 'result' are inverted from their Enlightenment physics view. In the Aboriginal physics view, motion is relative in a conjugate habitat-inhabitant (concentric) relational sense. Space is no longer passive in this view.
The Enlightenment way of seeing reduced the concentric (conjugate outer-inner relational) Aboriginal/Medieval way of seeing, to a 'radial' or 'line-of-sight' way of seeing. No doubt these two ways have always been available and continue to be, but Enlightenment society made the 'linear' way of seeing the popular default. For example, if we drop a pebble in a still pond, we tend to think of the disturbance pushing radially outward, but if we look more closely the pebble first created a hole/trough where it falls into the water and nearby water moves into try to fill that hole, and it overshoots to create a mound/crest which must then be dispersed outwards and what propagates outwards is this conjugate outward and inward at the same time dynamic relation which is concentric and circular rather than radial and linear. The linear view is a reduction of the conjugate outer/habitat-inner/inhabitant relation which imputes the source of the action to be radiating out from the center.
Our common Enlightenment sense of self tends to undergo this same 'reduction' so that we think of ourselves as a powerboat with all of the internal center-driven power and direction needed to be the 'local organism with its own local agency' of Enlightenment representation. This subsumes the Aboriginal/Medieval sense of self which was more in the style of the sailboat which derives its form power and steerage from the dynamic of the habitat it is included in.
Without a doubt, there are very different behaviour-guiding ethics that attach to these different ways of seeing and mutually relating to one another.
This conjugate habitat-inhabitant spatial-relational conditioning is all going on AT THE SAME TIME, as it must, when we see nature in terms of a nonlocal fluid-dynamical continuum.
Yet 'time' and sequence are essential to the causal morality of Moses (the popular morality of our Enlightenment society), which first identifies a 'result' and then 'backs up in time' (not in the unfolding of space) to identify the 'causal agent' responsible for the result, the local entity that is caught 'holding the smoking gun'. The role of the habitat in providing accommodating potentials in conjugate relation to 'causal agency' is ignored in the moral method of Moses, suggesting that there is strong mutual reinforcement between the moral method of Moses and Enlightenment physics.
The implication is that Jesus view can be associated with Aboriginal physics while Moses' view can be associated with Enlightenment physics. Given that 'there is good and bad in everything', there is within us, in our conjugate habitat-inhabitant relation, the tension of opposites that threaten to release in explosive/destructive dynamics, Jesus sees the way to reconcile these tensions through the process of transformation, rather than by rewarding and punishing people on the basis of whether they are SEEN as 'good causal agents' or 'bad causal agents'.
The basic problem with Moses' method of moral management is that when we view people as local organisms with their own local 'causal agency' we are confusing 'representations' for reality.
Enlightenment society has "accepted [representations] as reliable substitutes for the visible". This is a confusing of appearances for reality, which sets us up for the method of moral management of Moses. Just as the storm-cell is the result of the turbulence it is included in, rather than the cause, so it is with human organisms in the thingless connectedness world of Aboriginal physics (quantum physics and relativity), wherein what we observe and experience is the 'conjugate habitat-inhabitant relation' which can be broken into two only by imposing 'representions' (the 'reality' is, meanwhile, the 'conjugate-habitat-inhabitant relation').
Jesus rejects the method of Moses (i.e. he passes by it without opting for it as the primary moral method), opting instead for the spatial relational transformation-based method of moral management, as is embodied in the (wave) dynamical (Aboriginal physics) view of nature.
The implication is that we cannot understand the behaviour of an individual in isolation, as 'local agency', the community-dynamic (habitat-dynamic) is intrinsically involved as well; i.e. the 'conjugate habitat-inhabitant relational dynamic' of Ernst Mach is the primary reality.
The question then arises; 'Is the proliferation of evil agents the cause of degradation in the terrain or is it the result of degradation in the terrain? In the parallel case of microbial evil agents, Pasteur and Béchamp came around to the view that 'the terrain is everything'; i.e. the habitat includes the inhabitants in the manner that the flow of the atmosphere includes storm-cells; thus, their answer is that 'the proliferation of evil agents is the result of degradation in the terrain, rather than the cause of it.
The woman who is transformed by forgiveness will necessarily be, at the same time, a source of transformation in the terrain of community since she is spatial-relationally included in the community dynamic.
The 'Aboriginal physics' morality of Jesus thus 'bypasses' the confusing of representations for reality that associates with the 'Enlightenment physics' morality of Moses.
In practical terms, 'rebellion', 'criminality' and 'terrorism' all have to be dealt with, but that does not mean that we have to confuse 'representation' for reality by imputing 'local causal agency' to the dynamical forms we call humans.
The proliferation of pathological behaviour is the 'result' of the world dynamic, not the 'cause' of it.
The inbuilt ethic in the dynamics of nature is to acknowledge the conjugate habitat-inhabitant relation and to let one's personal dynamic serve the cultivation and sustaining of harmony at the confluence of multiple, simultaneous, mutual influences.

The Delhi High Court on Friday issued a stay on a CBSE circular that made it mandatory for all its affiliated schools to provide free education from Class VI onwards to every girl who was a single child.
The circular, issued last October, had followed an HRD Ministry directive which said all schools should give a total fee waiver to the single girl child. Several principals had raised objections to the circular.
The stay was granted by a single-judge bench of Justice Vikramjit Sen on a petition filed by Carmel Convent School, Malcha Marg, Delhi. The petition challenged the circular as being mala fide, illegal and unconstitutional. The school's counsel said the circular violated Article 30 of the Constitution, which provides for minority educational institutions to fix their fee structure.
The petition said the implementation of the order would mean an annual additional expenditure of Rs 20 lakh. Also, it said the school would be compelled to raise the fees of other students to make up for the cost.
The petition said the school was not receiving any aid from the government, so it would be difficult to provide freeship.
Justice Sen issued notices to the Centre, CBSE and director of education, Delhi, to file their replies within four weeks. The next hearing will be on March 27.
