Spartacus Legends is a free-of-charge brawler for Xbox Live Arcade. Set in Ancient Rome, you take the role of a Gladiator, working your way through the arenas, battling against various types of deadly warriors. After a short tutorial on combat, with you playing as the powerful Spartacus himself, your taken control of a new recruit. You'll begin by entering small areas, fighting against not so challenging foes. As you win fights, you'll earn experience and level up. Gold coins are also obtained in the process, allowing you to purchase gear and weaponry. Changing the gladiator's appearance to your taste can be addictive. There's a nice selection of armour and weapons to kit out your warrior, but if your not willing to spend real cash, it can take some time to earn the more expensive items.
in-game currency. All the arena's are divided into districts and when you complete a battle, you are punished with a two minute waiting time before you can revisit the same match. However, you can jump into an online match whenever you wish. This seems like a more satisfying choice. I found myself re-entering online matches, which also adds to your current level. It's where I found the game most enjoyable, and it's a great way to show off your kitted out Spartans and level.
A slow-mo effect is triggered when two Spartans attack at the same time.
The fighting itself is rather shallow . Watching your gladiator pull of gruesome finishers can be enjoyable to watch, but performing the same moves over and over feels like a chore. You have your basic attack, a block and dodge ability, along with a slower but more powerful attack. You will occasionally need to combined attacks to change your opponents pattern. However, most of the time, all it takes is a basic attack and dodge. Watching the same moves does become tiresome, however, playing as other Spartans provide new moves. Despite this, they all have the same effect, just with a different animation.
On to the visuals, and they are dated. This is one of the worst looking XBLA titles I've seen in a long time. It's expected with most F2P games, but some more work could have been done to the environments. They look very murky, with low bland textures. The animations are not that impressive either, which seems like something from the previous console generation.
It's understandable how Spartacus Legends lacks polish and replay value. Most free games result in the same way. Still, free games are always worth trying, and Spartacus Legends is the same. You may even enjoy this free experience, but just don't expect it lasting long.

94th Annual Livingston Roundup Parade Canceled
Photo: Dave W. of XL Country
The Livingston Chamber of Commerce announced in their monthly newsletter that they are cancelling this year's Livingston Roundup Parade. This would have been the 94th annual parade that kicks off on July 2nd the Livingston Roundup Rodeo. The rodeo has not been cancelled, but a note on the Livingston Roundup website says a decision is expected to be announced about it by June 1st.
Here is what the Livingston Chamber sent out to its members on Wednesday:
Your Livingston Chamber of Commerce has a sad but important announcement today. The 94th Annual Roundup Parade is not marching through the community this year.
We will follow County Orders and State mandate by not mass gathering and closing streets, we also would not ask our businesses for sponsorship during this difficult time as businesses are just starting to reopen and between sponsorship and volunteers is how the event takes place. Most large gathering events around the State and Nation have been cancelled this year. We will not put anyone's life in jeopardy or become an agenda to rhetoric conversations.
Next year will be a wonderful continuation of our historic event, it will be 95 years old and we hope we will have plenty of volunteers to assist us and a strong community of support and sponsorship.
The Chamber has been busy working with State and local leaders to keep moving forward to a safe and healthy economically viable future for businesses. We need a place for locals and nonresidents to enjoy in the near future and beyond.
The endless conference calls with updates and new information to disseminate to the community has been overwhelming at times as we have had to close to the public. We have been working on official tourism business and reporting with future tourism marketing and Visitor promotion that went awry with a bump in the middle since January.
But this is a community the Chamber has promoted for over 100 years and we will do over 100 more for both local support and nonresident travelers and film promotion. We are proud of our members and will do what we can to help each and every one. We take the concerns to not only the state level but the national level with congressional conversations by giving our community a voice anywhere we can because we are a trusted resource I cant explain the gratitude for being so included with State partners. We were even on a call with the President 3 weeks ago making sure small town Montana was present.
We don't know what the future looks like but we will be ready to react and inform our community and county members of current news that would affect them, so each and everyone that desires can be informed to make each of there own decisions for their future.
Thank you for your support as always.
Leslie Feigel, CEO and your Chamber Board of Directors

Colleagues, students and reviewers heard brief presentations from the three groups: Genome, Environment and Microbiome (GEM); Global Health Equity (GHE); and Sustainable Manufacturing and Advanced Robotic Technologies (SMART).
Members of the communities made that case with more than 30 presentations and dozens of research posters alluding to the very diverse projects being pursued by affiliated faculty and students.
They talked of the research, education and outreach projects that were addressing major global challenges — from hand-washing practices, refugee health and well-being, and embodying the microbiome through dance, to cutting-edge oral microbiome research, autonomous systems, and high-performance lithium-ion batteries.
"Events like these are invaluable," said Venu Govindaraju, vice president for research and economic development, who appreciated the peer interaction provided by the showcase. "You get to hear what others are doing to address these major issues, so it expands your knowledge while also allowing you, the researcher, to know how and where you and your work fit into the field.
"In addition, it's just fun to talk about cool ideas," Govindaraju said.
And the event was more than a showcase for the communities in year two of the university's five-year commitment. This year's annual review process included three external reviewers — one subject-matter expert for each field — along with three UB faculty members and two administrators. After the showcase, the reviewers, deans and vice presidents talked individually with each community and its leaders.
The reviewers' report will help the communities measure their progress toward their visions and becoming sustainable communities of excellence. It will note their successes, identify what is or is not working, obstacles to progress, and barriers that stand in the way of success. The report also will suggest areas for expansion or improvement.
GEM advances the understanding of areas that enable development of personalized medicine, empowering individuals with greater control of their health and understanding of the human genome and the human microbiome. GEM is enhancing UB's reputation in genomics and making it a national model for promoting and increasing genomic literacy.
GHE focuses on the social, economic, political and environmental factors that contribute to global health inequities. It influences policymakers, funders and practitioners who address problems ranging from child survival, growth and development to refugee health and well-being.
SMART is developing the next generation of manufacturing technologies, processes and education that enable sustainable, cost-effective production of high-quality customizable products. SMART leverages university and regional strengths in manufacturing, while also partnering with regional companies to educate future manufacturing leaders and shape policy.


This year we have the pleasure of having the legendary Dan Mick Jeep Tours leading us on this Northridge4x4 Northridge4x4 exclusive trip for JK-Forum members. This is an all day run and limited to a first come first serve sign up for the list below as well as our trail leader and trail sponsor rigs. We want to make this an enjoyable run for all and we keep the lineup moving as Dan has promised to show us more coolness of the way back down. Being a Moab native and trail guide we're sure he has some pretty cool tricks up his sleeves! Make sure your CB is functioning properly because Dan narrates for you us so it's educational as well as fun! *** Once to the top of the trail and overlook we'll plan to have lunch! This unique opportunity is limited to 30 rigs and once the slots are filled up we'll begin taking names for the waiting list. As a reminder, every year we have people drop out leading up to Moab EJS so make sure to sign up because you could just make it onto the list. We have more surprises in store as well!
****Important Notes**** -Lunch will be covered by Northridge4X4! -Each member signed up for the run will receive a special swag pack from Northridge4x4! -Run will be limited to 25 forum members rigs. (each rig participating must sign up for the run, no signing up others)! -Each member must include all people in their rig and t-shirt sizes!
A major trail goal is Arth's Rim, which overlooks Highway 191 about 1300 feet below. The route first angles up the sloping part of the cliff to a gap in the rim rock. It follows Little Canyon partway into the mesa to resume the climb along the more gentle slope of the tilting rock strata. Much of the trail is routine four-wheeling, but the approach to the rim through Mirror Gulch is difficult and threatens sheet metal. Later in the trip Widowmaker Hill has become so extreme your leader will take a roundabout bypass to the top. Approximate mileages: 66 total, 46 off pavement.

There are a few things that I do to get ready for Lent to begin. One of them is enjoying what my church provides. As my priest said during his homily, the heart is to keep in our pockets and remember that Jesus loves us. I often have some kind of talisman that I can rub or twirl with my fingers, like the now-popular fidget cubes to remind me of the season or help me to focus on what my intentions are. I also love this series of booklets. This is the third one I've had from Liturgical Press, and it is short enough to read every day without fail as well as giving me the ability to form my own reflections with the wisdom of the author but not an overpowering do it this way.
It is a lovely combination and balance.
The Weekly Prayer Project – this is a book that my husband got me for Christmas. I've only just started reading it this morning. It's divided into seven sections, and can be used in order or jumped from one to the other. My intention is to read the week's pages on a Wednesday, and then contemplate what it's asking me to journal. I will probably do the journaling before the weekend, and then read what i've written in the days before the next Wednesday. I have decided that I will read from each section for seven weeks, and then go back to the first. For example, today I read week 1. Next Wednesday (1/10) I'll read week 8. On 1/17, I'll read week 15, and so on. On 2/21, I'll go back to week 2, and begin the format again.
365 Days to Happiness – These are nice, short blurbs offering suggestions to finding happiness. They are little things to do or not to do. Again, as I keep coming back to this week, choose what works for you. When I skimmed through the first couple of pages, I read on Day 2 to fill in your planner. I laughed because I do that literally at midnight on the first. When yesterday arrived, and I actually read day 2, I discovered that in addition to filliing in my calendar, there was a surprise suggestion that I thought was wonderful, and so I did that yesterday. My point is, even the most mundane, seemingly routine thing can surprise you.
Grace by Max Lucado – another daily prayer book with prayers for both the morning and the evening. The version I have has room for a few lines of journaling. I have such a hard time writing in books that I usually just read this one. It is still filled with inspiration and time for mindfulness.
The Word Among Us – this is a worship aid that my church gives out every month. It lists all the daily prayers, and has a few articles for the cover topic that are usually very interesting. I have had a digital subscription for about three years now, and I enjoy it very much. Since I would take the paper copy from my church, I thought this was a way to go paperless.
Give Us This Day – Similar to The Word Among Us. This has a daily reflection as well as a daily introduction to a person of faith. There is also an app that can be used to read your subscription. I'm trying out the first thirty days free for this month to see how it fits into my other meditations.
The Writer – This is my professional go-to, and the only writing magazine that I subscribe to. Like the planner below, it has taken me years to figure out what works, and this magazine is the most comprehensive, covering every writing topic imaginable and of use.
Mead Day Planner – this link take you directly to Mead's website. The photo is similar to the planner that I have and have been using for a couple of years now. I got mine at Target. I use the monthly for whatever needs to be on my calendar, and I use the weekly for writing and blog planning. It's taken me years to figure out this system and discover that it works for me.

US President Donald Trump at a news conference at the White House on Thursday.
President Donald Trump has tweeted out praise of his epic 77-minute Thursday press conference, adding that he thought the "fake media" was "not happy!"
"Thank you for all of the nice statements on the Press Conference yesterday," Trump tweeted Friday morning. "Rush Limbaugh said one of greatest ever. Fake media not happy!"
The conservative radio host Limbaugh on Thursday described Trump's press conference as "fantastic," saying, "the American people are gonna eat this up," according to a transcript on his official site.
"This was one of the most effective press conferences I've ever seen," Limbaugh said. "When I say 'effective,' I'm talking about rallying people who voted for him to stay with him."
Other conservative commentators were complimentary of Thursday's press conference as well.
At the same time, Fox News host Shepard Smith slammed Trump for his evasion of a question about his administration's communications with Russia.
"We are not fools for asking this question, and we demand to know the answer to this question," Smith said. "You owe this to the American people. If your people were on the phone with [the Russians], what were they saying? We have a right to know ... The people deserve that answer, at very least."
The press conference, ostensibly called so that Trump could announce Alexander Acosta as his new pick for labor secretary, was quickly used by Trump to defend his young presidency and launch an assault on the news media.
Business Insider's Allan Smith described the press conference as "among the most surreal and unprecedented the US has witnessed in 228 years of having a president."

Clevedon's popularity began in the Victorian era, becoming a popular seaside town developing from what was an agricultural village. The coming of the railway was the key to it's prosperity when the branch line was built from Yatton to Clevedon. Yatton was on the main Bristol to Exeter line therefore linking Clevedon with the rest of the country. In the 1950's many seaside resorts started to build piers to attract tourists and in 1866 the Clevedon Pier Company was formed. The history of the Clevedon Pier was quite a chequered one and was the subject of the Group's February meeting given in a very interesting presentation by Abbie Edbrooke, Heritage and Outreach Officer, for Clevedon Pier.
Prior to the building of the pier a shallow draft boat was used to ferry passengers to the steamers waiting off shore.
It took 60 men 18 months to build the pier at a cost of £10,000 and on Easter Monday 1869 the pier was opened to the public. The pier is 312m (1,024ft) long and 15m (48ft) above high water.
It was an instant success especially with the P & A Campbell steamers now easily boarded at the pier head. However it was not to last as between 1886 to 1890 financial difficulties meant that the pier passed into public hands.
In 1893 the pier head was replaced in cast iron with a new timber landing stage and with the pier head pavilion completed in 1894.
On the 16th October 1970 two of the spans closest to the pier head collapsed during a weight test being carried out for insurance purposes. The pier came close to being demolished but in 1972 the Clevedon Pier Preservation Society was formed and set about raising funds for it's restoration. In 1984 finance was obtained from English Heritage and the National Heritage Memorial Fund and so work was commenced. The pavilions from the pier head were brought ashore and the pier structure was dismantled and taken to Portishead Dock for restoration. It was reconstructed in 1986 and reopened in 1989. So again the elegant structure, once described by Sir John Betjeman as 'the most beautiful pier in England' reaches out into the Severn estuary. Now with it's new visitor centre and art gallery it is the jewel in Clevedon's crown and once again proving popular with tourists.
The next meeting is scheduled to be in the Village Hall in Venus Lane on Tuesday 14th April at 8pm. The speaker on this occasion will be Gina Merrett-Smith and her presentation is entitled 'An Actor's Voice for me - a History of Theatre and Screen Actors'. Visitors are always welcome with entrance at £3 which includes refreshments. For more information of any of the above please telephone 01761 471 533.

Nine Lincolnshire police officers were assaulted within three days
Bill Skelly, Chief Constable of Lincolnshire Police
Published: 16:31 Thursday 26 April 2018
Nine Lincolnshire police officers were assaulted as they carried out their duties within three days.
Two PCs were bitten and kicked while arresting a man, a Sergeant was spat at and head-butted, causing his lip to split open, while attending an attempted robbery and six officers were injured while dealing with a woman who was trying to kick down a door.
The officer most badly injured in that incident was bitten so hard that the bite went straight through the finger nail and nail bed. The suspect also spat and kicked at other officers who were trying to get her to release her bite on the PC.
Chief Constable, Bill Skelly, said: "There is no other word for this type of behavior other than appalling.
"This number of assaults on staff in such a short space of time really highlights how our officers and staff are placing themselves in harm's way on a daily basis.
"They do so in order to protect the vulnerable, keep communities safe and to prevent and detect crime.
"We have a duty to protect the public but we are all too often prevented from doing so due to violent individuals who choose to attack those who are there to help them.
"All too often police officers and staff are subjected to assaults and threats.
"While the severity of such attacks changes, the impact upon society does not.
"It is never acceptable to assume that assaults upon police officers and staff should be tolerated; they are not simply 'part of the job,' and any presumption that a member of the police service should expect to be, or should accept being abused or subjected to violent behaviour, is wrong.
"While it is clear that the nature of policing requires members of the organisation to handle difficult and hostile situations, assaults upon them are serious and unacceptable. "
In 2017 271 officers and staff were assaulted in Lincolnshire.
Mr Skelly added: "We have taken steps to try and prevent assaults happening, including the introduction of spit and bite guards and the option to use Taser, but the only thing that will really change these numbers is that people quite simply stop being violent towards police."

Pope on migrant kids: Integrate, don't repatriate

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has denounced the forced repatriation of unaccompanied children migrants who flee wars and poverty, saying countries should try to meet their needs rather than return them to uncertain futures back home.
Francis took up the plight of child migrants in his annual message for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees on Thursday.
History's first Latin American pope didn't cite specific cases, but the plight of unaccompanied Central American children crossing into Mexico en route to the U.S. has been a concern of Catholic bishops and Catholic grassroots organizations for years.
Mexico now deports more Central American migrants than the United States, a dramatic shift since the U.S. asked Mexico for help in 2014 after a spike in illegal migration, especially among unaccompanied minors. Most Central American migrants, who are fleeing drug and gang violence in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, are deported from Mexico on buses.
In his message, Francis said countries must balance their right to control migratory movements with their "duty to resolve and regularize the situation of child migrants, fully respecting their dignity and seeking to meet their needs when they are alone, but also the needs of their parents."
He warned that children migrants are often led into prostitution, pornography or are enslaved as child laborers. He said more often than not, children are forcibly returned home "without any concern for their best interests" rather than being welcomed and integrated into new countries.
Even detention centers are cause for concern, he said.
"It is not unusual for them to be arrested, and because they have no money to pay the fine or for the return journey, they can be incarcerated for long periods, exposed to various kinds of abuse and violence," the pope said.
Francis visited the U.S.-Mexico border earlier this year and prayed for migrants who died trying to reach the U.S.
In 2014, more than 46,000 unaccompanied minors from Central America crossed into the United States, leading the U.S. government to turn to the governments in Mexico and Central America to try to stanch the flow. In most cases, Mexico holds migrants only long enough to verify their nationalities before sending them home.
According to Mexican government figures quoted by the U.N. children's agency, more than 16,000 migrant children from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras were apprehended in Mexico during the first six months of 2016. But thousands still make it to the United States.
While unaccompanied children apprehended in the United States are guaranteed an immigration court hearing, they are not entitled to a court-appointed attorney. A comparison of cases initiated in 2015 showed that by June 2016, 40 per cent of unrepresented children were ordered deported, compared with 3 per cent of children who had lawyers.

A solitary pulmonary nodule, sometimes referred to as a "coin lesion," is a less-than-3-cm isolated, rounded opacity on chest imaging outlined by normal lung and not associated with infiltrate, atelectasis, or adenopathy. Most are asymptomatic and represent an unexpected finding on chest radiography or CT scanning. The finding is important because it carries a significant risk of malignancy. The frequency of malignancy in surgical series ranges from 10% to 68% depending on patient population. Benign neoplasms, such as hamartomas, account for less than 5% of solitary nodules (eFigure 9–16). Most benign nodules are infectious granulomas.
eFigure 9–16.
Hamartoma of the lung. Incidentally identified on a chest CT scan in a young, otherwise health 31-year-old male, the hamartoma appears as a round and well-demarcated left lower lobe mass with areas of dense calcification and much lower density fat.
The goals of evaluation are to identify and resect malignant tumors in patients who will benefit from resection while avoiding invasive procedures in benign disease. The task is to identify nodules with a sufficiently high probability of malignancy to warrant biopsy or resection or a sufficiently low probability of malignancy to justify observation.
Symptoms alone rarely establish the cause, but clinical and imaging data can be used to assess the probability of malignancy. Malignant nodules are rare in persons under age 30. Above age 30, the likelihood of malignancy increases with age. Smokers are at increased risk, and the likelihood of malignancy increases with the number of cigarettes smoked daily. Patients with a prior malignancy have a higher likelihood of having a malignant solitary nodule.
The first and most important step in the imaging evaluation is to review old imaging studies. Comparison with prior studies allows estimation of doubling time, which is an important marker for malignancy. Rapid progression (doubling time less than 30 days) suggests infection, while long-term stability (doubling time greater than 465 days) suggests benignity. Certain radiographic features help in estimating the probability of malignancy. Size is correlated with malignancy. A study of solitary nodules identified by CT scan showed a 1% malignancy rate in those measuring 2–5 mm, and 24% in 6–10 mm, 33% in 11–20 mm, and 80% in 21–45 mm nodules. The appearance of a smooth, well-defined edge is characteristic of a benign process. Ill-defined margins or a lobular appearance suggest malignancy. A high-resolution CT finding of spiculated margins and a peripheral halo are both highly associated with malignancy. Calcification and its pattern are also helpful clues. Benign lesions tend to have dense calcification in a central or laminated pattern. Malignant lesions are associated with sparser calcification that is typically stippled or eccentric. Cavitary lesions with thick (greater than 16 mm) walls are much more likely to be malignant. High-resolution CT offers better resolution of these characteristics than chest radiography and is more likely to detect lymphadenopathy or ...

Justin Timberlake's half-time performance is one of the things that people are looking forward to at the Super Bowl. Rumor has it that Justin Timberlake will be performing with a Prince hologram. The Super Bowl will take place in Minneapolis, which was Prince's hometown.
"Billboard" reached out to Justin's representatives, but they have not commented on this. Sheila E, who is an artist who had worked with Prince for a long time, addressed the hologram rumor. She stated that Prince was very against having a hologram. She also stated that it will not be cool if that happens.
Omaar Baker, who is Prince's half-brother, denied the report on Twitter. Someone asked whether the performance was not happening or not authorized. Omaar stated that the performance was not happening and had not been authorized.
Before the Prince hologram rumors started, Emma Quigley was interviewed and asked questions about the upcoming Super Bowl performance. She stated that one of the great things about doing a half-time show is that there is something different every year. She also stated that they have to work with artists to make sure that each performance is new and exciting. Emma Quigley is the head of music for Pepsi North American.
Aziel Rivers is the marketing director. He stated that the Super Bowl performance will show Justin at his best. He also stated that Justin is going to perform some of his greatest hits that many people may have forgotten about. Additionally, Aziel believes that this performance will have people up and dancing.
Justin has expressed his admiration for Prince. He called Prince the best all-round musician. There were rumors that there would be an Nsync reunion and the performance would feature Janet Jackson. However, Justin stated that neither of those rumors are true. This is the third time that Justin Timberlake has performed at the Super Bowl.

Hawthorn are backing Jack Fitzpatrick to be a September surprise packet after the ruckman delivered a clutch goal in the final round of the AFL season.
Fitzpatrick played 22 games in five seasons at Melbourne and looked set for the scrapheap until the Hawks offloaded pick No.94 to secure him in last year's trade period.
Concussion kept Fitzpatrick on the sidelines for much of this year but the 25-year-old eventually returned to the VFL.
Fitzpatrick was then called up for a club debut against Collingwood following Jon Ceglar's knee injury.
He didn't disappoint - kicking the final goal of a one-point victory the Hawks needed to grab a top-four spot.
It was some kind of goal too.
Fitzpatrick collected the ball after a centre bounce, burst through the middle and unloaded from over 55 metres out.
"He stepped up in a pretty big moment so that shows a bit about him," Hawks midfielder Isaac Smith said.
"It was a massive moment. We needed a goal. Someone had to kick it and he took it upon himself.
"Hopefully he grows in confidence from that.
"He's had a few injuries so he hasn't been able to deliver on ... some pretty good pre-season form. It's good now that he's fit and firing."
Fitzpatrick supported Hawthorn as a child and already felt like he was proof that dreams could come true.
"Surreal I think is the feeling," he told the club website.
"Hopefully I can get a game (in week one of the finals) but if not I'm sure whoever plays the role I did today will do a good job."
Hawks coach Alastair Clarkson was full of praise for Fitzpatrick and Marc Pittonet, who rucked in the absence of Ceglar and Ben McEvoy.
"They came up against Brodie Grundy, who in the last six or eight weeks has been the best ruckman in the competition," Clarkson said.
"He played OK for them, Grundy.
"But given the task those two boys had and their inexperience, they did a fantastic job curbing the influence that he could have had on the game."
"If they continue to make a contribution like they did tonight they've got a role to play (in finals)."
Clarkson said he was "pretty certain" McEvoy would return to face Geelong in week one of the finals.

Love and personal relationships: Navigating on the border between the ideal and the real.Maja Djikic & Keith Oatley - 2004 - Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour 34 (2):199–209.details
In the psychological literature, love is often seen as a construct inseparable from that of close, interpersonal relationships. As a result, it has been often assumed that the same motivational factors underlie both phenomena. This often leads researchers to propose that love does not exist in itself—that it is an emotion which stems solely from a need for attachment, fulfillment of reproductive aims, or for social exchange. The popular cultural imagination, however, perceives love as a unique, mysterious, altruistic, ever-lasting bond (...) between two people—a vision of love which is at odds with its supposed psychological origins. We propose that an ideal of love and its enactment in our culture is a result of two intertwining factors. Within the last few centuries, interpersonal relationships and love have replaced religion as islands of existential comfort. Toward this end, lovers project illusory meaning on their partners. The laborious and turbulent process of withdrawing these projections can lead to what many thinkers think "love" is: bestowal of value on another, and consequent respect for, and care for that person, unmotivated by one's own needs, within the context of a real relationship.

Studying Social Robots in Practiced Places.Maja Hojer Bruun, Signe Hanghøj & Cathrine Hasse - 2015 - Techné: Research in Philosophy and Technology 19 (2):143-165.details
What is the strength of anthropological fieldwork when we want to understand human technologies? In this article we argue that anthropological fieldwork can be understood as a process of gaining insight into different contextualisations in practiced places that will open up new understandings of technologies in use, e.g., technologies as multistable ontologies. The argument builds on an empirical study of robots at a Danish rehabilitation centre. Ethnographic methods combined with anthropological learning processes open up new way for exploring how robots (...) enter into professional practices and change values, social relations and materialities. Though substantial funding has been invested in developing health service robots, few studies have been undertaken that explore human-robot interactions as they play out in everyday practice. We argue that the complex learning processes involve not only so-called end-users but also staff, management, doings and discourse in a complex amalgamation of materials and values. (shrink)

Turning biases into hypotheses through method: A logic of scientific discovery for machine learning.Maja Bak Herrie & Simon Aagaard Enni - 2021 - Big Data and Society 8 (1).details
Machine learning systems have shown great potential for performing or supporting inferential reasoning through analyzing large data sets, thereby potentially facilitating more informed decision-making. However, a hindrance to such use of ML systems is that the predictive models created through ML are often complex, opaque, and poorly understood, even if the programs "learning" the models are simple, transparent, and well understood. ML models become difficult to trust, since lay-people, specialists, and even researchers have difficulties gauging the reasonableness, correctness, and reliability (...) of the inferences performed. In this article, we argue that bridging this gap in the understanding of ML models and their reasonableness requires a focus on developing an improved methodology for their creation. This process has been likened to "alchemy" and criticized for involving a large degree of "black art," owing to its reliance on poorly understood "best practices". We soften this critique and argue that the seeming arbitrariness often is the result of a lack of explicit hypothesizing stemming from an empiricist and myopic focus on optimizing for predictive performance rather than from an occult or mystical process. We present some of the problems resulting from the excessive focus on optimizing generalization performance at the cost of hypothesizing about the selection of data and biases. We suggest embedding ML in a general logic of scientific discovery similar to the one presented by Charles Sanders Peirce, and present a recontextualized version of Peirce's scientific hypothesis adjusted to ML.

Focused on the notion of the threshold of objectivity, my article dissects the empirical mirror-glass of the philosophy of Joseph Melançon. I propose to thrust this emblematic perspective of determinist discourse against the literary turn, acclaimed for its underpinning ambiguous subjectivity – here notably made relevant by Pierre Bourdieu. Both discursive practices complete each other and reject each other in a self-feeding spiral: incessant motivation for a hybrid, vexing study of mutual tensions.

Justice and Inclusiveness: The Reconfiguration of Global–Local Relationships in Sustainability Initiatives in Ghana's Cocoa Sector.Maja Slingerland, Sietze Vellema & Faustina Obeng Adomaa - 2022 - Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics 35 (4):1-19.details
AbstractPressure from the public and non-governmental organisations is pushing lead companies in the cocoa and chocolate sectors towards becoming more environmentally sustainable and socially just. Because of this, several sustainability programmes, certification schemes and delivery initiatives have been introduced. These have changed the relationship between chocolate companies, cocoa exporters, and small-scale farmers. This paper observes how large companies in the cocoa export and consumer markets are shifting away from their traditionally remote position in the cocoa sector. The pressure to ensure (...) sustainability and justice has provoked more mutually dependent relationships with cocoa producers. Our analysis outlines the implications this emerging reconfiguration of global-local relationships has for procedural justice principles of interdependence and refutability, and the distributive justice principles of need and equity. These principles are important because they enable the different dimensions of inclusion: ownership, voice, risk, and reward. This paper highlights and qualifies arrangements surrounding these justice principles that manifest in the way five service delivery initiatives - associated with sustainability programmes and led by major buying companies in Ghana's cocoa sector – are implemented. We show inclusiveness as an outcome of dynamic global-local relationships that are constantly reworked in response to smallholder farmers' agency and state regulations. Portraying inclusiveness as an outcome of interactions changes its conceptualisation from a predefined ethical standpoint included in the design of standards to a result of unfolding mutual dependencies, which refashion how inclusive agriculture value chains work.

Bad apples or bad barrels? Qualitative study of negative experiences of encounters in healthcare.Maja Wessel, Niels Lynöe, Niklas Juth & Gert Helgesson - 2014 - Clinical Ethics 9 (2-3):77-86.details
Assessments of quality in healthcare often focus on treatment outcome or patient safety, but rarely acknowledge the importance of patients' encounters with healthcare personnel. The aim of this study was to gain an improved understanding of negative experiences of healthcare encounters by investigating experiences of the general population. A questionnaire was distributed to a randomly selected sample population of 1484 inhabitants in Stockholm County, Sweden. The material was subjected to conventional content analysis. Seventeen different types of complaint about negative encounters (...) were identified, including unpleasant behavior, not being listened to, inadequate information, and discrimination. Two possible underlying explanations are discussed; structural factors relating to the organization and allocation of healthcare, and individual factors relating to the staff's attitudes and professional practice. The results indicate that different strands of actions are needed to reduce patients' negative experiences of encounters in healthcare, depending on the setting as well as on which of the two factors predominates.

Locked-in or ready for climate change mitigation? Agri-food networks as structures for dairy-beef farming.Maja Farstad, Heidi Vinge & Egil Petter Stræte - 2021 - Agriculture and Human Values 38 (1):29-41.details
Many countries have included agriculture as one of the sectors where they intend to obtain significant greenhouse gas emission reductions. In Norway, the dairy-beef sector, in particular, has been targeted for considerable emission cuts. Despite publicly expressed interest within the agricultural sector for reducing emissions, significant measures have yet to be implemented. In this paper, we draw on qualitative data from Norway when examining the extent the wider agri-food network around farmers promotes or restrains the transition toward low-emission agricultural production. (...) A qualitative analysis based on interviews with key stakeholders from various parts of the agri-food network of dairy-beef indicates that, if it is up to the dairy-beef system itself, it will develop in the direction of continued increased production volumes and increased efficiency in production, combined with moderate measures to reduce emissions. There is an obvious reluctance to stimulate the consumer demand toward other products or meat products with reduced emissions because such a solution would complicate full exploitation of existing agricultural resources and hence could bring considerable negative economic consequences. Another factor limiting the scope and drive towards a low-carbon production is that the effects of various potential climate measures do not appear as unambiguous. Our study indicates that the dairy-beef sector will likely not reach the goal of reduced emissions from its own initiatives. Rather, significant changes would probably require both push and pull support from forces outside the agricultural system. (shrink)

Taking Our Own Medicine: On an Experiment in Science Communication.Maja Horst - 2011 - Science and Engineering Ethics 17 (4):801-815.details
In 2007 a social scientist and a designer created a spatial installation to communicate social science research about the regulation of emerging science and technology. The rationale behind the experiment was to improve scientific knowledge production by making the researcher sensitive to new forms of reactions and objections. Based on an account of the conceptual background to the installation and the way it was designed, the paper discusses the nature of the engagement enacted through the experiment. It is argued that (...) experimentation is a crucial way of making social science about science communication and engagement more robust. (shrink)

Design for a common world: On ethical agency and cognitive justice. [REVIEW]Maja Velden - 2009 - Ethics and Information Technology 11 (1):37-47.details
The paper discusses two answers to the question, How to address the harmful effects of technology? The first response proposes a complete separation of science from culture, religion, and ethics. The second response finds harm in the logic and method of science itself. The paper deploys a feminist technoscience approach to overcome these accounts of neutral or deterministic technological agency. In this technoscience perspective, agency is not an attribute of autonomous human users alone but enacted and performed in socio-material configurations (...) of people and technology and their 'intra-actions'. This understanding of agency is proposed as an alternative that opens up for the reconfiguration of design and use for more ethical effects, such as the cultivation of cognitive justice, the equal treatment and representation of different ways of knowing the world. The implication of this approach is that design becomes an adaptive and ongoing intra-active process in which more desirable configurations of people and technology become possible. (shrink)

Public Expectations of Gene Therapy: Scientific Futures and Their Performative Effects on Scientific Citizenship.Maja Horst - 2007 - Science, Technology, and Human Values 32 (2):150-171.details
The article combines a criticism of public understanding of science with the sociology of expectations to examine how particular expectations toward scientific progress have performative effects for the construction of publics as citizens of science. By analyzing a particular controversy about gene therapy in Denmark, the article demonstrates how different sets of expectations can be used to discriminate among three different assemblages: the assemblage of consumption, the assemblage of comportment, and the assemblage of heroic action. Each of these assemblages makes (...) medical science, scientific citizenship, politics, patients, doctors, and expectations toward the future emerge in particular ways. By their radically different expectations toward science and their different constructions of what it means to be a scientific citizen, the assemblages construct the objectives of the governance of science in three very different ways.

Introspective humility.Tim Bayne & Maja Spener - 2010 - Philosophical Issues 20 (1):1-22.details
Viewed from a certain perspective, nothing can seem more secure than introspection. Consider an ordinary conscious episode—say, your current visual experience of the colour of this page. You can judge, when reflecting on this experience, that you have a visual experience as of something white with black marks before you. Does it seem reasonable to doubt this introspective judgement? Surely not—such doubt would seem utterly fanciful. The trustworthiness of introspection is not only assumed by commonsense, it is also taken for (...) granted by many of theorists about the mind. Within both philosophy and the science of consciousness it is widely held that introspection is generally reliable, at least with respect to the question of one's current (or immediately prior) conscious states. Without this assumption, we could not make sense of theorists' widespread use of introspection, both in support of their own position and to undermine that of their opponents. (shrink)

Antecedents of Environmentally and Socially Responsible Sustainable Consumer Behavior.Maja Hosta & Vesna Zabkar - 2020 - Journal of Business Ethics 171 (2):273-293.details
Responsible sustainable consumer behavior involves a complex pattern of environmental and social issues, in line with the view of sustainability as a construct with both environmental and social pillar. So far, environmental dimension was far more researched than social dimension. In this article, we investigate the antecedents of both environmentally and socially RSCB and willingness to behave in environmentally/socially responsible way. We include measures of concern, perceived consumer control/effectiveness, personal/social norms and ethical ideologies/obligation to better explain and extend the traditional (...) theory of planned behavior. Additionally, we test the impact of information availability about environmental or social impact on RSCB. Our findings on a representative sample of 426 respondents show that in general, antecedents of environmentally and socially responsible sustainable consumption are similar in their effect on consumer behavior, with personal norms, concern and ethical ideologies having the strongest impact on RSCB. When comparing both types of behavior, socially responsible behavior is more influenced by perceived behavioral control and possibly social norms than environmentally responsible behavior, while information availability plays its role for both behaviors. Sustainable responsible consumption can be achieved by embracing both dimensions of sustainability and consumers need to have a sense for both social and environmental issues. The complexity and struggles between doing what is good for environment and society could be the reason why consumers have difficulties achieving sustainable responsible consumption. (shrink)

Spór o depresję. Czy fenomenologicznie zorientowana filozofia psychiatrii rozwiąże problemy psychiatrii redukcjonistycznej?Maja Białek - 2019 - Diametros 59:1-22.details
The aim of my paper is to review the discussion concerning various difficulties which surround the definition of depression and the methods of diagnosing and treating the disease against the background of the now dominant reductionist paradigm in psychiatry, as well as to answer the question whether a new approach to psychiatric disorders proposed by philosophers of psychiatry working within the phenomenologically inspired embodied and enactive paradigm indeed offers a solution to these difficulties. I present the issues specific to the (...) subject of depression in light of the more general problems related to biological psychiatry that have recently caused much debate. In the second part of the paper, I consider enactive, phenomenological and embodied theories of depression and the possibilities of new methods of treatment. My goal is to assess whether these theories indeed add anything important to the conceptions that are already present in psychiatry. I conclude that even if the embodied philosophy of psychiatry does not solve many of the problems faced by modern psychiatry, it can, nevertheless, provide a useful theoretical basis for future changes.

Q: How to use std::copy if an explicit type conversion is necessary between source and destination type Consider
struct foo{};

struct bar{
    bar(const foo& f){}
};

And imagine that I have a
std::vector<foo> vec;

and I want to convert this to a std::vector<bar> out. I can use
std::copy(vec.begin(), vec.end(), std::back_inserter(out));

to do that since bar is not explicit. However, I need bar to be explicit! But then the back_inserter no longer works. What changes do I need to make to the std::copy parameters to somehow include the explicit bar(<iteratee>)?

A: std::transform(
    vec.begin(),
    vec.end(),
    std::back_inserter(out),
    [](const foo& f){
        return bar(f);
    }
);

will do it.

When Should I Worry About... Tips to Live By

When Should I Worry About...
Peyronie's Disease: What Is It & How Is It Treated?
Peyronie's disease. It might be an uncomfortable topic to talk about, but we're discussing it because it's literally uncomfortable.
"While the cause of Peyronie's disease isn't completely clear, the result is — a painful, curved erection that often leads to discomfort during sex, as well as stress and anxiety about sex. It's one of the most underdiagnosed sexual issues that men face, but Peyronie's disease is worth discussing since it typically doesn't go away on its own," says Dr. Nathan Starke, urologist specializing in men's health at Houston Methodist.
Most importantly, Dr. Starke points out that there are treatments available that can prevent it from getting worse — and even improve symptoms in almost all cases.
What is Peyronie's disease?
"Peyronie's disease is the term for scar tissue formation involving the erection chambers underneath the skin of the penis, which ultimately affects the process of forming an erection," says Dr. Starke. "As blood flows to the penis during an erection, any scar tissue that's present interferes with how it hardens. This can cause a bend or another shape that can be frustrating and even painful," explains Dr. Starke.
The symptoms of Peyronie's disease include:
A buildup of scar tissue under the skin of the penis, which can feel like a hard, flat nodule
Severe bending of the penis, either upward, downward or towards one side, especially with an erection
Problems forming or maintaining an erection
Experiencing painful erections
Shrinkage or shortening of the penis or other changes, such as narrowing or a bottleneck shape
"It's important to note that penises vary in shape and size. Having a curved penis or noticing shrinkage doesn't mean you have Peyronie's disease, but if you notice either in combination with one or more of the symptoms above, it's time to speak to a men's health urologic specialist," adds Dr. Starke.
Why does Peyronie's disease occur?
As mentioned, the exact cause of Peyronie's disease is unknown, but a few risk factors have been identified, including:
Experiencing trauma or repeated injury to the penis, such as during sexual activity or an accident
Increasing age, since minor injuries may be slower to heal in older men
Having Dupuytren's contracture, a connective tissue disorder of the hands
There's also evidence that some men may have a genetic predisposition to developing Peyronie's disease. If another man in your family has this condition, you may have a higher risk of developing it yourself — but it's not a guarantee.
"In most cases, it's thought that Peyronie's disease is caused by repetitive microtrauma to the penis over time, but often a man doesn't recall any specific instance of an injury occurring," says Dr. Starke.
How is Peyronie's disease treated?
Understandably, the most important question you have is: Will Peyronie's disease go away?
"In some cases, the bending and pain associated with Peyronie's disease can improve on its own — but not always. This is typically a disease that, untreated, remains the same or might even get worse over time," says Dr. Starke. "The good news, though, is that there are treatment options available. The earlier you seek treatment, the likelier you are to see improvement in your symptoms. Treatment can also help prevent your condition from progressing."
Peyronie's disease treatment options include:
Penile traction therapy – a device worn anywhere between 30 minutes to several hours a day that can improve curvature and correct deformity — when used in the early phase of this condition
Injectable medications – there is only one FDA-approved medication for Peyronie's treatment, called Xiaflex (collagenase clostridium histolyticum), which is delivered in a series of injections in the office over a period of months. The collagenase breaks down the scar tissue, helping to improve pain and reduce curvature
Surgery – various procedures are available, and represent the "gold standard" of Peyronie's treatment. However, which procedure(s) are preferred varies depending on the individual man's situation
Watchful waiting – your doctor may recommend using a wait-and-see approach to help determine which treatment option will be most effective for your specific symptoms and condition, particularly in the later phases of this condition
The most effective treatment plan for Peyronie's disease varies depending on whether you are earlier or later in the disease course. Your doctor will help you understand which options are available and likely to provide you the most benefit.
And you probably have one final question: Who treats Peyronie's disease?
"Even if your symptoms of Peyronie's disease seem manageable for the time being, it's important to see a urologist specializing in men's health," adds Dr. Starke. "Over time, this condition can result in more than just a painful erection. For instance, it can impact your self-esteem, cause stress in your relationship and even impact your ability to father a child. A doctor who specializes in both urology and men's health can help you find the most effective, advanced treatment option that's right for you. And, remember, the sooner you start treatment, the better," adds Dr. Starke.

Antonio Fargas Perhaps one of Hollywood's best-kept secrets is that character actor Antonio Fargas — an originator of the over-the-top, wide-hatted platform-shoed pimp that is now a Hollywood staple — wears English brogues.
Best known for his role as the lovable street hustler Huggy Bear in the 1970s TV series "Starsky & Hutch," Fargas went on to appear in many blaxploitation films including the classic "Shaft," "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" and "Car Wash." His career has spanned more than 40 years, including a host of roles in film, on stage and on television, including "Everybody Hates Chris." Whether nailing outrageously comedic characters or giving a chilling rendition of an old witch doctor in the Broadway play "The Great White Hope," his performances have won critical and popular acclaim.
Fargas, who graduated from Manhattan's HS of Fashion Industries in 1965, sang the original alma mater by heart at an alumni event in May that raised close to $10,000 for a scholarship fund established in his name.
Now Fargas gives the New York Teacher the exclusive scoop on just who he was emulating when he started wearing English brogues.
I was one of 11 kids, the son of a sanitation worker, born in the Bronx. We moved to the Chelsea-Elliot Houses in Manhattan, where I went to Catholic school. When it was time for high school, either my grades weren't good enough or I was overreaching, but I couldn't get into parochial high school. I decided to go to a trade school and somehow I gravitated toward the HS of Fashion Industries. It was right near me, and I'd always been intrigued by style and color.
In addition to finding a family of misfits who thought differently as I had in show business — by my sophomore year I got a role in the film "Cool World" — I found that kind of family at school, a place where people took chances.
I could wear an outfit and get out of myself. That's what I found in theater and what I found in the high school community of people who, at an early age, chose alternative lifestyles and were accepted by their teachers for their eccentricities. It was a great, nurturing place for an artist.
It was the '60s, a great time for dressing up and being in character, for putting together your own style from all the boutiques. That's what I did in the characters I played and in life. I took risks, but also felt very safe in that community.
My acting teacher, Mr. Rosevich, had a tremendous impact on me. He was very much a supporter of my talent and my search. In hindsight I could feel he understood where actors were coming from and the lifestyle we chose.
He was also a good teacher because a lot of artists lack discipline and it was good to be able to accept from him the discipline of the craft.
My history teacher, Mr. Uberman, was just the most impeccable dresser and was a sort of hero in terms of style and cool. I was very impressed with his cool, with how he put together a gentleman's wardrobe. I don't know how he did it on a teacher's salary but he did it!
Mr. Alpert, who taught pattern making, was a tough teacher. He knew his craft and was very particular; he knew that the guys who could lay out the pattern right using as little fabric as possible were the ones who got the jobs.
In addition to having expertise, all the teachers were characters with different quirks, and I recognize today that the underlying feeling was that they cared about young people; they cared about me.
Mr. Blessing was the algebra teacher. He was kind of a nerd. He wore tight tailored suits and squeaky English brogues. He showed me about dressing like a gentleman. Not only dressing like one but becoming one was a driving force within me. I know that's why I wear brogues to this day!
Now I'm giving back, working on literacy projects and with young people in theater and film. I've found that life is the best production of all.
Teachers then and today have that altruistic mechanism. There's not a lot of appreciation for the work done but they have to know they've done well by the people who come and say thank you to them.
I say thank you to all those teachers who nurtured me and gave all they could.


LEEDv4 Reference guide mentions Globally Harmonized Systems of Classification and lableing of Chemical rev.6 (2015)(GHS) as an approved documentation.
If a HPDv2.1 has content inventory marked as 'per GHS SDS', is it safe to assume that it was per rev.6 (2015) stds?
Yes, that is a safe assumption. HPD v2.1 was introduced in 2017, so I think it is a fairly safe bet that any SDS data it is relying on is up to date with rev.6 (2015).
Thanks for the clarification Tristan!
