Tap the equity you've built in your home for major or ongoing expenses.
Chances are, your home is your biggest financial asset. As you pay down your mortgage, you build equity that you can then put to work through a home equity loan or HELOC. Both loans use your home as collateral, which can be a powerful motivator for timely repayments. But how you access your cash depends on the loan you choose.
How does a home equity loan differ from a line of credit?
Both loans offer unrestricted financing backed by the equity in your home. And how much you can borrow typically tops out at 80% to 95% of your home equity, depending on your credit score.
But they differ in how you access your equity and pay back what you borrow.
A home equity loan allows you to tap into the equity of your home to borrow a lump sum of cash. Also known as HELOANs, home equity loans typically have a fixed interest rate and schedule. This means you'll pay a set amount each month for the life of the loan — usually five to 15 years. Depending on your lender, you may be able to get an adjustable rate loan.
Because you're taking out a second loan against your home, home equity loans are often called second mortgages. And you'll need to repay your existing mortgage while also repaying the home equity loan.
A fixed rate makes for reliable repayment amounts, which can be easier to factor into your budget. But the tradeoff is that the rates tend to be higher than HELOCs.
A HELOC is a lot like a credit card. Rather than loaning you a lump sum to repay over time, a HELOC authorizes access to a set line of credit. In most cases, a HELOC allows you to borrow up to 80% of your home's equity.
You can borrow against that amount as many times as you need to during a draw period of five to 10 years, depending on your loan. You pay interest only on the amount you draw. And if you're able, you can pay extra to contribute toward the principal of your borrowed amount.
HELOCs come with variable interest rates that rise and fall as the market fluctuates — which means your monthly payment can go up or down too. Some lenders let you convert a portion of your balance to a fixed rate, while others limit how many times the interest rate can change during the loan, called a lifetime cap.
When the draw period is over, you enter the loan's repayment period, which typically lasts 10 to 25 years. In that time, you can't take out any new funds, focusing instead on repaying what you've borrowed.
What are the benefits of a home equity loan and a line of credit?
Each loan allows you to access a major asset — your home — and use the cash to pay for anything you need.
Fixed interest rate. Your payments stay steady, even if the Federal Reserve raises interest rates.
Set payment schedule. Along with predetermined rates, makes for easier budgeting.
Lump-sum payment. Use the money for college, medical care or whatever you'd like.
Looser eligibility. To apply, you need at least 15% equity in your home and a credit score of 620.
Flexible borrowing. Just like a credit card, withdraw the cash when you need it.
Delayed interest. You don't pay interest until you access the money. Even then, it's only on what you borrow.
Low or no closing costs. Some lenders cover the application and appraisal fees — but read the fine print of your loan.
Quick approvals. If you need cash now, a HELOC is fairly easy to obtain.
Fund access. Withdraw money through a check or card linked to the HELOC.
What are the drawbacks of a home equity loan and line of credit?
With both loans, the biggest drawback is that your home is on the line. If you don't meet the requirements set out in your agreement, your lender can seize your property as payment.
Multiple monthly payments. It's a second mortgage, which means you'll need to keep track of two loans and make two separate repayments.
Closing costs. You face the same closing costs as a traditional mortgage, though you may be able to roll them into your loan.
Higher interest rates. The security of a fixed rate results in weaker rates than a HELOC.
Risk of property depreciation. If home values in your area decline, you could end up owing more than your home is worth.
Unpredictable interest rates. HELOCs are pegged to the prime rate. As rates rise, so do your monthly payments.
Strict credit requirements. You'll need a score of at least 620 to qualify and 720 for the strongest rates.
Harder to manage. You must be disciplined to avoid paying a lot for principal and interest during the repayment period.
Additional fees. You may pay annual membership, maintenance or transaction fees for each withdrawal. Most lenders also charge fees for late or missed payments, which can increase the amount you owe.
Which option is better suited for me?
When you're deciding between a home equity loan and a HELOC, think about why you want to borrow money.
Home equity loans are ideal for one-time expenses — like a kitchen remodel — and for those who prefer predictable payments. You'll get a lump sum and pay it back with fixed monthly payments for a set period of time.
If your expenses are expected to increase over time — like with medical bills and college tuition — you might want to look into a HELOC. You'll have the flexibility to access funds as you need them, and you'll pay interest only on the amount you withdraw.
If you need cash, you may be able to use your home as collateral with a home equity loan or line of credit. Home equity loans are best for financing a project with a fixed cost, while HELOCs give you flexible access to your money over time.
Borrowing against the equity in your home is not a decision to be taken lightly. Before committing, compare home loan lenders and weigh the benefits against any drawbacks.
Yes, as long as you use your home equity loan or line of credit to buy, build or substantially improve your home. This is one of the major changes brought in by the new tax laws of 2018.
So, if you use your loan or HELOC to add a second story to your home, the interest is most likely deductible. If you use the money to pay for your college tuition, you won't be able to claim the interest you pay as a tax deduction.
How do I calculate my home's equity?
To figure out how much equity you've built up in your home, subtract the balance left on your mortgage from the current value of your home.
Say your home is worth $400,000 and you have a mortgage balance of $250,000. Subtracting your balance from the home's worth results in $150,000 in equity.
Not sure what your property is worth? Compare the recent sale of similar properties in your area or hire a professional real estate appraiser.
How much can I borrow against my equity?
It depends on your lender, though most let you borrow up to 85% of the current value of your home. Typically, lenders set a limit based on your loan-to-value ratio, credit score, income and debts.
Yes. If you pay off your line of credit before the repayment period is over, your lender provides the option to close to account or keep it open for future withdrawals.
The first way is to make regular, timely payments on your loan.
The second is through price appreciation. The more your home increases in value, the more equity you'll have.

Let's face it, most people don't bring in their sewing machine for annual services. Many don't even clean their machine in between services! This post will cover the simple cleaning that an owner of a Bernina sewing machine should be doing between services, and is specifically for Bernina machines with oscillating type hooks. If you don't have a Bernina machine with an oscillating hook, you will not be able to take your hook out for cleaning, however, your machine may still benefit from some of the steps described, so please keep reading.
The first thing to do is remove your needle plate. On 1000 series machines, you will need to lower your feed dogs, lift the front edge of the needle plate, and then slide the needle plate backwards. Many machines, like the 830 or 930 require that you release the needle plate by pushing a latch. On most newer machines, you can simply press the rear right corner of the needle plate down, and the needle plate will pop up for removal. As you remove your needle plate, take a look at how it is aligned so that re-installation is easier.
All Bernina machines come with a lint brush, so take out your brush and clean any lint from the top of the feed dogs. Lint may be packed into the feed dog, so don't be afraid to use something to get that lint out. Here in the TVSC service department, I use a pick tool that looks a lot like a dental pick. Rather than brushing, you might try to vacuum out the lint. Just don't use canned air or an air compressor, because you would probably blow lint back in to the machine, which is bad.
You should all know how to remove your bobbin case, and if you don't, cleaning your machine is going to have to wait for a few minutes! Take the bobbin case out of the machine. The post that your bobbin case was attached to is part of the hook. Push the latch that is located directly to the left of where the bobbin was to open the hook door. Be careful; in some machines pushing the latch in a direction that is not directly left can result in damage to the latch. The latch shouldn't require great force to release the hook door, so if you are pressing the latch really hard, you should stop and bring your machine to us so that we can show you what to do. If you successfully pressed the latch, then the hook door will pop forward, and you will be able to remove the hook. Note how the hook is aligned.
With your thumb and forefinger, remove the hook by grasping the post that the bobbin case snaps on to, and pull it towards you. This hook oscillates in a recessed groove called the hook race, and this area is generally the dirtiest part of any sewing machine. Use a tool like a toothpick or dental pick and remove any lint from the hook race. When you are done with the big stuff, use a q-tip with a little oil on it, and swipe all the surfaces of the hook race. You will notice that the q-tip gets quite dirty, so don't be afraid to use more than one to clean up the area.
You most likely applied enough oil to the hook race just by cleaning it, but if it makes you happy, you can put a drop of oil directly on the hook race. The outer edge of the hook itself is a good place to oil, and if you see any link on the hook you should remove it now.
Take your clean, oiled hook, and put it back in the hook race. It only goes in one way, so take your time and make sure it goes in just how it was before your took it out. It may be easier for some people to lay their machine on its back for this step. Once you have the hook placed in the hook race correctly, close the hook door until the latch makes a click sound. You can now put your bobbin back in, and reinstall your needle plate.
Most owners manuals will cover the cleaning of your machine, but they may not provide enough detail for you to do it effectively. If you use your manual in conjunction with these instuctions, it shouldn't be hard to clean your machine between services. If you still don't feel comfortable doing this, then you can make an appointment with us, and we will clean your machine for you. Keeping your machine clean will help your machine last for a long time, and it will sew better!
forget all of these steps! Sigh. Now I have a place to go to refresh my memory!!
We are working hard to make this blog a great resource for everyone. It'll make my job easier in the long run, which means everyone wins.
Thank you, Brian! Great reminder! Great idea to have a blog.
I'm having trouble with the bobbin case and the hook popping out now that I've cleaned that area. It's my first time cleaning it... I do realize that the hook only fits in one way and it does seem to fit when I put it back. Please help.
Sally, when you close the hook door, are you hearing it snap?
Having difficulty getting the hook to fit into it;s place. Could you be more specific in your directions or show me a picture?
Dues the hook go on top the round black piece or directly inside the bobbin area on top the large screw first?
Thanks very much for writing this very helpful info for all of us sewers. Your directions are excellent.
What does the latch look like? Is it the black object that surrounds the bobbin case? Thank you.
No, the latch is a silver metal piece on the left side. If you look closely, it is holding the black plastic piece from falling forwards.
I need to readjust it as the needle is hitting the hook, and it is out of time..
I have researched what to do for that, and feel I can do it, I took my machine apart, and know what to do with that, but I need to know how to remove the whole piece, it does have a time belt in the back part, and I removed the screw from the back of the hook on the backside but it still won't come out, I also removed the little screw for the finger for the basket etc..
any suggestions or a you tube video of how to correct the timing would be so appreciated..
Lisa, it looks like you've got it ready to pop out. You just need to use a screwdriver and push the belt off the back of the hook as you pull the hook out. A word of caution. It is extremely unlikely that you will be able to get your machine back together and working properly. There's a reason why we get paid to do the things we do, so I really can't hold your hand and walk you through re-assembly. I'm just sayin', if you can't get the hook out, and getting back in right is even harder, you're better off finding somebody that knows that they're doing to do it for you.
I have an older machine(from the 80's) and don't use it that often anymore. Anyway, my machine will not go into reverse when I sew. the best machine I have ever had.
Barb, fixing the reverse on a sewing machine is usually a pretty easy thing to do. If you're close to Temecula, bring it in a let me check it out sometime.
I just cleaned and oiled my machine (Bernina Artista 180) and now I don't have reverse. It just quit... I am in Oklahoma so bringing it by isn't really an option. My husband and I are both pretty savvy when it comes to electrical devices but this has us stumped. Help?
Hi Lilo. Unfortunately, this could be a circuit board issue. You're going to need to go to your Bernina dealer.
Your instructions just saved me! I had that hook out and couldn't get it back in. Thanks to you, I did! Thanks so much!
My needle fell out of the shaft and I can't get it back in. It's a Bernina Activa 180. Help please.
Hi Donna. It sounds like you may need to go to your local Bernina dealer and have them check it out. It's not normal for you to not be able to insert a needle. It sounds as though you may have cracked your needle clamp.
I am a beginner, who just purchased a bernina B 560. I tried to figure out how to remove the hook race, but I do not see any silver button or latch on the left side. I tried and tried to oil and clean my machine, but not able to figure how to remove the hook race. Bernina manual was very helpful either.
Totally lost, thank you for any guidance.
I suggest going to your dealer for help. It's difficult to explain, yet the dealer would be able to show you in 2 seconds.
I appreciated your cleaning instructions. Maybe you could help with a Bernina 830 Record. The feed dogs don't drop. How could I fix it?
Sue, the feed dogs have a linkage that sometimes gets frozen, and even if you knew what you were doing it's not easy to break free. You're going to need to bring your machine to a sewing machine technician.
The black part came off of my race cover and can't figure out how to put it back together.
If the black part came off, it's usually broken. You're going to need to either buy one and install it yourself, or have a qualified sewing machine technician do it for you.
Maria, I don't know because we are no longer a Bernina dealer.
I have a Bernina Vituosa 153. My bobbin keeps making clunky noises and bringing up a lot of excess thread on the bottom. It only does this occasionally. My husband and I have cleaned it. Still does this.
Sounds like you're going to need to bring your machine in for service. There are numerous lubrication points and lots of adjustments that need to be checked. Since you already cleaned the machine, that would point to the need for somebody else to look at it.

What Are Bioware Fans Looking For?
August 11, 2012 September 5, 2020 Lisa Clarkbioware, News
Apparently, there are a large number of people who are claiming that Bioware is ruined forever and that they have betrayed their fans. Some are so upset they've vowed never to purchase a game with the name Bioware on it ever again. Why are they so angry, and what does the company need to do to satisfy the fans who have alleged betrayal?
Bioware has a great history of getting things right. Obviously they're not going to knock one out of the ballpark every single time, but many fans are concerned that Bioware thinks they can get away with making rushed products only for the sake of the dollar instead of cranking out games where there was obviously a lot more effort put into the final product.
In Eric Cain's blog at Forbes.com, Cain admitted he was "extremely harsh on Bioware," and added, "I was biased, and while I stand by my arguments about artistic integrity, day-one DLC, and the perniciousness of the 'gamer entitlement' argument, I do think I could have been more fair."
Cain noted that the reason for his critique was to help the company succeed and hoped they would listen to their consumers. For his part he said, "I'm going to wait and see if Bioware listens to its upsets fans and takes their complaints into account for their next game."
Apparently many of Cain's readers were not pleased with what he had to say, and some wrote him to say they would never read his blog again.
When it comes down to it, I believe Bioware fans just want the company to listen to what they have to say, and at least make an effort to satisfy their requests. What do you think? What are you looking for from BioWare?

An assault on a pair of Jewish children was among the four antisemitic attacks in New York City to have occurred in the space of two days this week, police in the city confirmed on Thursday.
The two boys, ages 6 and 7, were allegedly struck from behind by a group of teenagers in the lobby of a residential building in Williamsburg section of Brooklyn on Monday night. according to police. The victims were treated for minor injuries.
The incident took place just hours after an Orthodox Jewish man was attacked on a busy Manhattan street by an assailant who reportedly yelled, "F–k you, Jew bastard."
A suspect, 28-year-old Steven Jorge of Miami, was arrested following the assault — which took place on E. 41st Street, near 3rd Avenue — and charged with a hate crime.
In what may be paradigmatic of Jewish life in Europe today, a synagogue in Holland essentially runs itself as a…
On Tuesday, two further hate incidents targeted Jews in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn.
One occurred around 2 a.m. on Kingston Avenue, where a group hurled antisemitic slurs at a 25-year-old man — with one of them throwing a drink at the victim.
The second occurred around 6 p.m. when a Jewish man was followed by eight African American teens on Kingston Ave. Once the group closed in on their target, the victim was punched in the head and knocked to the ground. One of the teens filmed the incident on his cellphone.
More than half of the hate crimes reported in New York City this year have been antisemitic in nature, with over 150 incidents targeting Jews — a rise of 63 percent on the previous year, according to figures released by the New York Police Department in September.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted on Wednesday, "It's not enough to condemn anti-Semitism — we have to confront it. The despicable crimes committed against our Jewish community over the last 24 hours are an attack on ALL New Yorkers. The NYPD is actively investigating all of them and will bring the perpetrators to justice."

"An Artist Talks About Quilts"
If You Were Here is an innovative and scholarly exhibition bringing together the work of nine seemingly disparate artists from New York and Kentucky. These artists share a common thread in the treatment of an internal landscape in their work; an obsessive preoccupation with rendering a world constructed of enigmatic images that are amazing and, at times, unsettling. The nine artists in this exhibition are connected through an interest in fantastic, even visionary, images that construct highly personal landscapes or psychological terrain. The exhibition has been co-curated by Lexington Arts and Cultural Council President and CEO, Jim Clark, and Mary Dinaburg, an independent curator from New York.
Commissioned by The City of Kansas City, Missouri, Municipal Art Commission 160,200 square feet of epoxy matrix terrazzo floor with blue glass, clear glass, mirror, mother of pearl, and marble aggregates; brass, zinc and green plastic strip; brass, marble and stone and glass mosaic imbedded inserts. Polarities is a collection of overlapping systems as a very large, ever-shifting diagrammatic "drawing" suggesting and questioning the infinite depth of space, scale, gravity, groundlessness, suspense and flight. A deep ultramarine blue band of terrazzo is contained within a narrow black and white border alluding to mapping and measure. Wind and water currents, electrical charges, and magnetism are suggested by brass plus and minus inlays that stir this blue field and give evidence to the invisible animation of flow, the pull of gravity and the dream of release. This charged blue field is contrasted by adjacent fields of gray terrazzo with random, chaotic brass plus and minus signs . Fine brilliant green lines crisscross and segment the floor creating a volume of depth that is spatial beneath one's feet and appear as longitudinal lines on a map or chart, or like the web of lines from the flight control radar screen. The blue field is punctuated by many images outlined in brass strip and inset images of marble, mosaic and brass.
The Sour Thunder, Armor and Flesh, and SOFTSHELL.
"The Sour Thunder" blends science fiction and autobiography with hip-hop, new music, and a theatrical bi-lingual text (English and Spanish), creating a personal and surreal tale of cultural and racial identity. Musically, "The Sour Thunder" is told through a series of 23 sound-text pieces and songs. The textures that make up "The Sour Thunder" were created using digitally treated hollow body guitars, Nigerian mbiras, field recordings of environmental sounds, and electronically processed vocals.
The poems in this collection explore protective gestures (physical and emotional hardness) and vulnerability. Armor and Flesh received the Naomi Long Madgett Poetry Prize.
Keith Obadike composed a companion soundscape for Armor and Flesh entitled SOFTSHELL. This composition, built from metallic abstractions and synthesized sinews, functions as a micro score to the book. It is available on a special edition transparent CD from http://Hellomachine.com.

In recent years, scientists have advanced our ability to understand and control human sexuality, reproduction, and gender. These developments have been highly controversial and politicized, as witnessed in our recent election. Artist Sonya Rapoport draws from historical references such as alchemy and Jewish mysticism to construct multimedia projects that address contemporary dilemmas.
Combining ancient myths with modern technological sophistication, Sonya Rapoport will trace the evolution of her artwork through the past four decades. Starting from her abstract expressionist paintings of the 60's to her pioneering computer assisted art works of the 70's and 80's.

Me posing with the profile for Sgt. Norman Quick along Remembrance Row.
Remembrance Row - Sgt. Norman Quick, Combat Cameraman, Canadian Army Film & Photo Unit.
Over 20,000 participants were expected to participate in this years Army Run.
Mayor Watson takes the podium to support and cheer on this years participants.
In what turned out to be a beautiful day, over 20,000 converged on Laurier and Elgin Streets in Ottawa to participate in this unique military event.
My submission for Remembrance Row was both Norman Quick, and Charles Ross, both of the Canadian Army Film & Photo Unit. Alas, only one of the profiles was allowed per participant and Norman Quick was selected to be featured along the course on race day.
The Vimy Challenge mandated that participants had to finish the first leg (5K) before the start of the second leg (10K), 45 minutes later. I knew that I could meet the requirement of running a 5K in under 45 minutes (from previous 5K Army Runs), but I forgot to take into account that with so many participants crowded at the start line, it might take me 10 minutes just to cross the start line!
Ultimately, I was able to 'position' myself close to the start line and was off without a problem. My next challenge was to locate Norman Quicks profile which I knew was featured somewhere along the race route. I spotted Norman Quicks profile along the Colonel By parkway, and decided I would grab some pictures during the second leg of the Challenge, the 10K. I wanted to keep going, feeling somewhat pressured to finish the 5K with time to regroup before the 10K.
In the end, it all worked out fine and I made the start of the 10K without a problem. When I happened upon Norms' profile again, I stopped and struggled a bit to take a selfie of me and Norms' profile. Fortunately, one of the participants made the effort to stop and took a few pictures of me posing with Norms profile. Big thank you to Mandy Wood for helping me out – it meant a lot to me!!
After the race I stopped by the Cenotaph to acknowledge the men and women who sacrificed their lives in service to Canada.

This photo shows one of four turbine-generators in the large Turbine hall of a RMBK style plant. The Exciter is the closest component located in the rectangular housing on the right hand side. The Generator is in the cylindrical chamber. The generator produces the electricity at approximately 20, 000 volts. The generator is usually cooled by hydrogen gas, which is, in turn, cooled by sea, lake, or river water. There are usually 2 or 3 Low Pressure Turbines in large housings. The steam that drives the large blades is usually at a pressure of 125 to 150 pounds per square inch (psi).
At the far end of this turbine is a small High Pressure Turbine. The steam comes directly from steam separators that remove moisture from the steam produced in the RBMK reactor. The steam supplied to the High Pressure Turbine is usually at a pressure of approximately 1000 psi. Outside the United States, many power plants use two generators per generating unit.

Alamo, San Antonio Missions Nominated for World Heritage Site
By Live Science Staff published 5 June 12
The Alamo was the site of an 1836 battle between Mexican and Texan troops. (Image credit: Alamo image via Shutterstock)
The storied San Antonio missions, including the Alamo, were built as the Spanish Empire expanded its dominion northward and later served as focal points in the war for Texas' independence. They now have been nominated to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of this rich history.
World Heritage listing is a prestigious designation that acknowledges the historical, cultural or natural value of a site and signals the U.S. commitment to its long-term protection and management.
The San Antonio Franciscan Missions were nominated for the designation Friday (June 1) at the Mission Concepción, a handsome stone church that looks much as it did when it was built in 1731. The structure is, in fact, the oldest unrestored church in America. While its exterior paintings have faded, its interior wall and ceiling paintings have been conserved.
The nomination entails the Alamo, whose defenders, including Davy Crockett, were killed by Mexican forces in 1836, and four missions in the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.
"World Heritage Sites represent an incredible opportunity for the United States to market our most significant places as destinations for domestic and international travelers," Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar said in announcing the nomination. These missions embody the cultural roots of the city and represent the single largest concentration of Spanish Colonial resources in the U.S., he said. The nomination won't be considered by the World Heritage Committee until 2015.
There are 21 World Heritage Sites in the United States, ranging from historic sites such as Independence Hall in Philadelphia to spectacular natural parks such as the Grand Canyon.
San Antonio Missions National Historical Park attracts more than 1.6 million visitors a year and supports nearly $100 million in economic activity annually, according to a U.S. Geological Survey statement.

Results for 'R. Lyer'
Are All Types of Morality Compromised in Psychopathy.Andrea Glenn, R. Lyer, J. Graham, S. Koleva & Jonathan Haidt - 2009 - Journal of Personality Disorders 23:384–398.details
A long-standing puzzle for moral philosophers and psychologists alike is the concept of psychopathy, a personality disorder marked by tendencies to defy moral norms despite cognitive knowledge about right and wrong. Previously, discussions of the moral deficits of psychopathy have focused on willingness to harm and cheat others as well as reasoning about rule-based transgressions. Yet recent research in moral psychology has begun to more clearly define the domains of morality, en- compassing issues of harm, fairness, loyalty, authority, and spiritual (...) purity. Clinical descriptions and theories of psychopathy suggest that deficits may exist primarily in the areas of harm and fairness, although quantitative evidence is scarce. Within a broad sample of participants, we found that scores on a measure of psychopathy predicted sharply lower scores on the harm and fairness subscales of a measure of moral concern, but showed no relationship with authority, and very small relationships with ingroup and purity. On a measure of willingness to violate moral standards for money, psychopathy scores predicted greater willingness to violate moral concerns of any type. Results are further explored via potential mediators and analyses of the two factors of psychopathy. (shrink)

Ought-Implies-Can: Erasmus Luther and R.M. Hare.Charles R. Pigden - 1990 - Sophia 29 (1):2-30.details
l. There is an antinomy in Hare's thought between Ought-Implies-Can and No-Indicatives-from-Imperatives. It cannot be resolved by drawing a distinction between implication and entailment. 2. Luther resolved this antinomy in the l6th century, but to understand his solution, we need to understand his problem. He thought the necessity of Divine foreknowledge removed contingency from human acts, thus making it impossible for sinners to do otherwise than sin. 3. Erasmus objected (on behalf of Free Will) that this violates Ought-Implies-Can which he (...) supported with Hare-style ordinary language arguments. 4. Luther a) pointed out the antinomy and b) resolved it by undermining the prescriptivist arguments for Ought-Implies-Can. 5. We can reinforce Luther's argument with an example due to David Lewis. 6. Whatever its merits as a moral principle, Ought-Implies-Can is not a logical truth and should not be included in deontic logics. Most deontic logics, and maybe the discipline itself, should therefore be abandoned. 7. Could it be that Ought-Conversationally-Implies-Can? Yes - in some contexts. But a) even if these contexts are central to the evolution of Ought, the implication is not built into the semantics of the word; b) nor is the parallel implication built into the semantics of orders; and c) in some cases Ought conversationally implies Can, only because Ought-Implies-Can is a background moral belief. d) Points a) and b) suggest a criticism of prescriptivism - that Oughts do not entail imperatives but that the relation is one of conversational implicature. 8. If Ought-Implies-Can is treated as a moral principle, Erasmus' argument for Free Will can be revived (given his Christian assumptions). But it does not 'prove' Pelagianism as Luther supposed. A semi-Pelagian alternative is available. (shrink)
Free Will as Involving Determination and Inconceivable Without It.R. E. Hobart - 1934 - Mind 43 (169):1-27.details
The thesis of this article is that there has never been any ground for the controversy between the doctrine of free will and determinism, that it is based upon a misapprehension, that the two assertions are entirely consistent, that one of them strictly implies the other, that they have been opposed only because of our natural want of the analytical imagination. In so saying I do not tamper with the meaning of either phrase. That would be unpardonable. I mean free (...) will in the natural and usual sense, in the fullest, the most absolute sense in which for the purposes of the personal and moral life the term is ever employed. I mean it as implying responsibility, merit and demerit, guilt and desert. I mean it as implying, after an act has been performed, that one " could have done otherwise " than one did. I mean it as conveying these things also, not in any subtly modified sense but in exactly the sense in which we conceive them in life and in law and in ethics. These two doctrines have been opposed because we have not realised that free will can be analysed without being destroyed, and that determinism is merely a feature of the analysis of it. And if we are tempted to take refuge in the thought of an "ultimate ", an "innermost" liberty that eludes the analysis, then we have implied a deterministic basis and constitution for this liberty as well. For such a basis and constitution lie in the idea of liberty. -/- The thesis is not, like that of Green or Bradley, that the contending opinions are reconciled if we adopt a certain metaphysic of the ego, as that it is timeless, and identifies itself with a desire by a " timeless act". This is to say that the two are irreconcilable, as they are popularly supposed to be, except by a theory that delivers us from the conflict by taking us out of time. Our view on the contrary is that from the natural and temporal point of view itself there never was any need of a reconciliation but only of a comprehension of the meaning of terms. (The metaphysical nature of the self and its identity through time is a problem for all who confront memory, anticipation, etc.; it has no peculiar difficulties arising from the present problem.) -/- I am not maintaining that determinism is true; only that it is true insofar as we have free will. That we are free in willing is, broadly speaking, a fact of experience. That broad fact is more assured than any philosophical analysis. It is therefore surer than the deterministic analysis of it, entirely adequate as that in the end appears to be. But it is not here affirmed that there are no small exceptions, no slight undetermined swervings, no ingredient of absolute chance. All that is here said is that such absence of determination, if and so far as it exists, is no gain to freedom, but sheer loss of it; no advantage to the moral life, but blank subtraction from it. -- When I speak below of "the indeterminist" I mean the libertarian indeterminist, that is, him who believes in free will and holds that it involves indetermination.

Building the Monarchy of the Father.Joshua R. Sijuwade - forthcoming - Religious Studies:1-20.details
This article aims to provide an explication of the doctrine of the monarchy of the Father. A precisification of the doctrine is made within the building-fundamentality framework provided by Karen Bennett, which enables a further clarification of the central elements of the doctrine to be made and an important objection against it to be answered.
Two Ways to Smoke a Cigarette.R. M. Sainsbury - 2001 - Ratio 14 (4):386–406.details
In the early part of the paper, I attempt to explain a dispute between two parties who endorse the compositionality of language but disagree about its implications: Paul Horwich, and Jerry Fodor and Ernest Lepore. In the remainder of the paper, I challenge the thesis on which they are agreed, that compositionality can be taken for granted. I suggest that it is not clear what compositionality involves nor whether it obtains. I consider some kinds of apparent counterexamples, and compositionalist responses (...) to them in terms of covert indexicality and unspecific meanings. I argue that the last option is the best for most of the cases I consider. I conclude by stressing, as against Horwich and Fodor and Lepore, that the appropriate question concerns the extent to which compositionality obtains in a natural language, rather than whether it obtains or not, so that the answer is essentially messy, requiring detailed consideration of a wide range of examples.

Reasonableness, Intellectual Modesty, and Reciprocity in Political Justification.R. J. Leland & Han van Wietmarschen - 2012 - Ethics 122 (4):721-747.details
Political liberals ask citizens not to appeal to certain considerations, including religious and philosophical convictions, in political deliberation. We argue that political liberals must include a demanding requirement of intellectual modesty in their ideal of citizenship in order to motivate this deliberative restraint. The requirement calls on each citizen to believe that the best reasoners disagree about the considerations that she is barred from appealing to. Along the way, we clarify how requirements of intellectual modesty relate to moral reasons for (...) deliberative restraint. And we argue against attempts to weaken our requirement of intellectual modesty by emphasizing those moral reasons. (shrink)

Non-Agential Permissibility In Epistemology.Luis R. G. Oliveira - 2015 - Australasian Journal of Philosophy 93 (2):389-394.details
Paul Silva has recently argued that doxastic justification does not have a basing requirement. An important part of his argument depends on the assumption that doxastic and moral permissibility have a parallel structure. I here reply to Silva's argument by challenging this assumption. I claim that moral permissibility is an agential notion, while doxastic permissibility is not. I then briefly explore the nature of these notions and briefly consider their implications for praise and blame.
La Pieza China: Un Experimento Mental Con Sesgo Cartesiano.R. González - 2012 - Revista Chilena de Neuropsicología 7:1-6.details
Este ensayo examina un experimento mental clásico de John Searle en filosofía de la mente, cuyo argumento ha sido descalificado por Dennett y Hofstadter como una bomba de intuiciones no confiable. Lo que se defiende aquí es que este experimento mental tiene un sesgo cartesiano, pero ello no obsta a que no sea confiable. En efecto, la característica principal de la Pieza China es depender de un agente cognitivo consciente que realiza el experimento, y en particular, de quien no se (...) puede prescindir para saber si ocurre o no entendimiento lingüístico luego del procesamiento de símbolos. En efecto, el punto de vista de la 1ª persona de quien lleva a cabo el experimento es, al igual que en otras instancias, lo que permite el testeo de una hipótesis sobre la naturaleza de lo mental.

The History of Quantum Mechanics as a Decisive Argument Favoring Einstein Over Lorentz.R. M. Nugayev - 1985 - Philosophy of Science 52 (1):44-63.details
PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE, vol. 52, number 1, pp.44-63. R.M. Nugayev, Kazan State |University, USSR. -/- THE HISTORY OF QUANTUM THEORY AS A DECISIVE ARGUMENT FAVORING EINSTEIN OVER LJRENTZ. -/- Abstract. Einstein's papers on relativity, quantum theory and statistical mechanics were all part of a single research programme ; the aim was to unify mechanics and electrodynamics. It was this broader program – which eventually split into relativistic physics and quantummmechanics – that superseded Lorentz's theory. The argument of this paper is (...) partly historical and partly methodological. A notion of "crossbred objects" – theoretical objects with contradictory properties which are part of the domain of application of two different research programs – is developed that explains the dynamics of revolutionary theory change.

Flint's 'Molinism and the Incarnation' is Too Radical.R. T. Mullins - 2015 - Journal of Analytic Theology 3:109-123.details
In a series of papers, Thomas P. Flint has posited that God the Son could become incarnate in any human person as long as certain conditions are met (Flint 2001a, 2001b). In a recent paper, he has argued that all saved human persons will one day become incarnated by the Son (Flint 2011). Flint claims that this is motivated by a combination of Molinism and orthodox Christology. I shall argue that this is unmotivated because it is condemned by orthodox Christology. (...) Flint has unknowingly articulated a version of the heresy called Origenism that is condemned by the Fifth Ecumenical Council. After arguing that Flint's account is unmotivated because it is condemned, I shall offer some reflections and prolegomena on the relationship between contemporary analytic theology and the ecumenical creeds.

Wisdom.Stephen R. Grimm - 2015 - Australasian Journal of Philosophy 93 (1):1-16.details
What is it that makes someone wise, or one person wiser than another? I argue that wisdom consists in knowledge of how to live well, and that this knowledge of how to live well is constituted by various further kinds of knowledge. One concern for this view is that knowledge is not needed for wisdom but rather some state short of knowledge, such as having rational or justified beliefs about various topics. Another concern is that the emphasis on knowing how (...) to live well fails to do justice to the ancient tradition of 'theoretical wisdom'. I address both of these concerns in filling out the account. (shrink)

Are There Degreess of Self-Consciousness?R. Milliere - 2019 - Journal of Consciousness Studies 26 (3-4):252-282.details
It is widely assumed that ordinary conscious experience involves some form of sense of self or consciousness of oneself. Moreover, this claim is often restricted to a 'thin' or 'minimal' notion of self-consciousness, or even 'the simplest form of self-consciousness', as opposed to more sophisticated forms of self-consciousness which are not deemed ubiquitous in ordinary experience. These formulations suggest that self-consciousness comes in degrees, and that individual subjects may differ with respect to the degree of self-consciousness they exhibit at a (...) given time. In this article, I critically examine this assumption. I consider what the claim that self-consciousness comes in degrees may mean, raise some challenges against the different versions of the claim, and conclude that none of them is both coherent and particularly plausible.

Virtue, Reason, and Principle.R. Jay Wallace - 1991 - Canadian Journal of Philosophy 21 (4):469-495.details
A common strategy unites much that philosophers have written about the virtues. The strategy can be traced back at least to Aristotle, who suggested that human beings have a characteristic function or activity, and that the virtues are traits of character which enable humans to perform this kind of activity excellently or well. The defining feature of this approach is that it treats the virtues as functional concepts, to be both identified and justified by reference to some independent goal or (...) end which they enable people to attain. Some recent philosophers seem to have hoped that by following this perfectionist strategy, we might attain a more convincing account of our moral practices than rule-based theories of ethics have been able to provide.

At the centre of the monograph (1984, first edition) lies a detailed interpretation and critique of the idea of the Good in the Republic. The main thesis of the interpretation runs as follows: The idea of the Good functions as a third item between thinking and being. The main purpose of the monograph is to introduce the systematic problem of the third item via the historical problem of the idea of the Good. The second, enlarged edition (1989) gives a new (...) reconstruction of an "exasperatingly difficult but ever fascinating topic" (H. Cherniss), that is, of the platonic theory of the ideal numbers and the two principles that were contained in the "so-called unwritten doctrines" (Aristotle). The final chapter gives new information on the reception of Plato's idea of the Good in P. Natorp and M. Heidegger. It also includes an updated bibliography. The third edition (2015) is a reprint of the second edition of 1989. Further remarks and an updated bibliography to 2005 are to be found in: - Ferber, Rafael (2005).

"文化可加性"以及儒教,佛教和道教的价值观和规范如何共存,相互作用和影响越南社会: 用R和Stan对于长期民间故事进行贝叶斯逻辑回归 的分析.Quan-Hoang Vuong - manuscriptdetails
据报道,越南人每年焚烧大约5万吨香纸,不仅是纸币形式, 还有iPhone、汽车、衣服, 甚至是管家形,希望取悦死者。 这种做法被错误地归因于传统的佛教教义,但大多数越南人都不知道它的起源來自于中国。 在生活的其他方面,越南也有许多类似的例子, 他们乐于對自己的文化增添新的规范、价值和信仰,甚至相互矛盾的東西。 这种被称为"文化可加性"的现象促使我们研究越南民间故事所显示的三教(儒教、佛教和道教)的核心价值观和规范之间的共存、相互作用和影响。通过应用贝叶斯逻辑回归,我们评估了一个故事的关键信息是否受宗教(因变 量)支配的可能性,還是受到三个教义有关的价值和反价值在表面的影响(自变量)。 我们的主要发现包括儒教和道教价值在文化上可加性的存在。更具体地说,实证结果表明,道教和儒教的价值观在民间故事中的相互作用或相加, 有助于预测故事的关键信息是否与儒教思想有关,β_{VT⋅VC} = 0.86。 同时,佛教却没有这样的统计趋势。 这些结果有一些重要意义。 首先,这表明了儒教思想的综治地位,因为儒教和道教的价值在一个故事中一起出现,导致了这个故事有儒学主导的关键信息。 因此,它表明了儒学支配地位的证据,并反对对三大宗教的共同根源,或是"三教同源" ("tam giáo đồng nguyên") 概念的自由解释,认为宗教有统一性或唯一性。 其次,"文化可加性"概念有助于解释许多有趣的社会文化现象,就是越南社会没有不容忍和极端主义的宗教, 在教育里离谱诡辩的现象,科学技术的努力创造的效果低下, 商业中的误导品牌战略。我们知道我们的结果只是初步的, 并且必须进行更多的理论研究和实证研究, 以对 "文化可加性"有充分的解释。.
Hasker on the Divine Processions of the Trinitarian Persons.R. T. Mullins - 2017 - European Journal for Philosophy of Religion 9 (4):181-216.details
Within contemporary evangelical theology, a peculiar controversy has been brewing over the past few decades with regard to the doctrine of the Trinity. A good number of prominent evangelical theologians and philosophers are rejecting the doctrine of divine processions within the eternal life of the Trinity. In William Hasker's recent Metaphysics and the Tri-Personal God, Hasker laments this rejection and seeks to offer a defense of this doctrine. This paper shall seek to accomplish a few things. In section I, I (...) shall first set the stage for a proper understanding of the discussion. Section II will articulate the basic Trinitarian desiderata that must be satisfied by any model of the doctrine of the Trinity. This will help one understand the debate between Hasker and the procession deniers. Section III will offer an articulation of what the doctrine of divine processions teaches. Section IV will examine Hasker's defense of the doctrine point by point. I shall argue that his defense of the doctrine of the divine processions fails. (shrink)
The Empirical Case for Folk Indexical Moral Relativism.James R. Beebe - forthcoming - Oxford Studies in Experimental Philosophy 4.details
Recent empirical work on folk moral objectivism has attempted to examine the extent to which folk morality presumes that moral judgments are objectively true or false. Some researchers report findings that they take to indicate folk commitment to objectivism (Goodwin & Darley, 2008, 2010, 2012; Nichols & Folds-Bennett, 2003; Wainryb et al., 2004), while others report findings that may reveal a more variable commitment to objectivism (Beebe, 2014; Beebe et al., 2015; Beebe & Sackris, 2016; Sarkissian, et al., 2011; Wright, (...) 2018; Wright, Grandjean, & McWhite, 2013; Wright, McWhite, & Grandjean, 2014). However, the various probes that have been used to examine folk moral objectivism almost always fail to be good direct measures of objectivism. Some critics (Beebe, 2015; Pölzler, 2017, 2018) have suggested that the problems with existing probes are serious enough that they should be viewed as largely incapable of shedding any light on folk metaethical commitments. Building upon the work of Justin Khoo and Joshua Knobe (2018), I argue that many of the existing probes can be seen as good measures of the extent to which people think that the truth of one moral judgment excludes the possibility that a judgment made by a disagreeing party is also true and that the best explanation of the findings obtained using these measures is significant folk support for indexical moral relativism—the view that the content of moral judgments is context-sensitive. If my thesis is correct, many contemporary moral philosophers are deeply mistaken about the metaethical contours of folk morality in one very important respect. (shrink)

Reinach and Armstrongian State of Affairs Ontology.Bo R. Meinertsen - forthcoming - Axiomathes:1-12.details
In this paper, I relate key features of Adolf Reinach's abundant ontology of propositional states of affairs of his (1911) to Armstrong's – or an Armstrongian – state of affairs ontology, with special regard to finding out how sparse or abundant the latter is with respect to negative states of affairs. After introducing the issue, I clarify the notion of a propositional state of affairs, paying special attention to the notion of abstract vs. concrete. I show how Reinach's states of (...) affairs are propositional, and how they compare with Chisholm's well-known propositional states of affairs. In the next section, I outline Reinach's five roles for states of affairs and show that only one of them is relevant to Armstrongian state of affairs ontology. In the following section, I utilize this role to create a ranking of state of affairs ontologies according to how abundant (sparse) they are. It is, however, unclear which level Armstrongian state of affairs ontology is at, since it is unclear if, like Reinach's ontology, it includes negative states of affairs. In the final section, I argue that the answer is a qualified 'yes', i.e. it does not occupy the sparsest level. (shrink)
Intentionality Without Exotica.R. M. Sainsbury - 2010 - In Robin Jeshion (ed.), New Essays on Singular Thought.details

Moral Grounds for Forgiveness.Derek R. Brookes - 2021 - International Journal of Applied Philosophy 35 (1):97-108.details
In this paper, I argue that forgiveness is a morally appropriate response only when it is grounded in the wrongdoer's demonstration of genuine remorse, their offer of a sincere apology, and, where appropriate, acts of recompense and behavioral change. I then respond to John Kleinig's suggestion (in his paper "Forgiveness and Unconditionality") that when an apology is not forthcoming, there are at least three additional grounds that, when motivated by virtues such as love and compassion, could nevertheless render "unconditional forgiveness" (...) a morally laudable option. I argue that such grounds could indeed constitute or result in laudable responses to wrongdoing, but only if they are not conceived of or described in terms of forgiveness. (shrink)
Knowledge, Practical Interests, and Rising Tides.Stephen R. Grimm - 2015 - In John Greco & David Henderson (eds.), Epistemic Evaluation: Purposeful Epistemology. Oxford University Press.details
Defenders of pragmatic encroachment in epistemology (or what I call practicalism) need to address two main problems. First, the view seems to imply, absurdly, that knowledge can come and go quite easily—in particular, that it might come and go along with our variable practical interests. We can call this the stability problem. Second, there seems to be no fully satisfying way of explaining whose practical interests matter. We can call this the "whose stakes?" problem. I argue that both problems can (...) be addressed in roughly the same terms. More exactly, I argue that by first clarifying the whose stakes? problem an answer to the stability problem naturally falls out. (shrink)

W.K. Clifford's famous 1876 essay The Ethics of Belief contains one of the most memorable lines in the history of philosophy: "it is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence." The challenge to religious belief stemming from this moralized version of evidentialism is still widely discussed today.
The Problem of Fake News.M. R. X. Dentith - 2016 - Public Reason 8 (1-2):65-79.details
Looking at the recent spate of claims about "fake news" which appear to be a new feature of political discourse, I argue that fake news presents an interesting problem in epistemology. Te phenomena of fake news trades upon tolerating a certain indiference towards truth, which is sometimes expressed insincerely by political actors. Tis indiference and insincerity, I argue, has been allowed to fourish due to the way in which we have set the terms of the "public" epistemology that maintains what (...) is considered "rational" public discourse. I argue one potential salve to the problem of fake news is to challenge this public epistemology by injecting a certain ethical consideration back into the discourse. (shrink)

Loyalty and Virtues.R. E. Ewin - 1992 - Philosophical Quarterly 42 (169):403-419.details
When loyalty is discussed, a very rare thing in recent years, it is sometimes listed as one of the virtues and just as often derided. Its relationship to the virtues, or to the other virtues, is difficult to discern, and that is at least partly because the role that judgement plays in loyalty seems odd. The argument of this paper is that there is a core value to loyalty, and that understanding this core value is of critical importance in understanding (...) the virtues despite the fact that loyalty is not itself one of them. I shall suggest at the end of the paper that it is the raw material of the virtues and of at least some vices. (shrink)
Debunking (the) Retribution (Gap).Steven R. Kraaijeveld - 2019 - Science and Engineering Ethics:1-14.details
Robotization is an increasingly pervasive feature of our lives. Robots with high degrees of autonomy may cause harm, yet in sufciently complex systems neither the robots nor the human developers may be candidates for moral blame. John Danaher has recently argued that this may lead to a retribution gap, where the human desire for retribution faces a lack of appropriate subjects for retributive blame. The potential social and moral implications of a retribution gap are considerable. I argue that the retributive (...) intuitions that feed into retribution gaps are best understood as deontological intuitions. I apply a debunking argument for deontological intuitions in order to show that retributive intuitions cannot be used to justify retributive punishment in cases of robot harm without clear candidates for blame. The fundamental moral question thus becomes what we ought to do with these retributive intuitions, given that they do not justify retribution. I draw a parallel from recent work on implicit biases to make a case for taking moral responsibility for retributive intuitions. In the same way that we can exert some form of control over our unwanted implicit biases, we can and should do so for unjustifed retributive intuitions in cases of robot harm. (shrink)
Mellor's Question: Are Determinables Properties of Properties or of Particulars?Bo R. Meinertsen - 2021 - American Philosophical Quarterly 58 (3):291-305.details
What I call Mellor's Question is the problem of whether determinables are properties of their determinates or properties of the particulars that possess these determinates. One can distinguish two basic competing theories of determinables that address the issue, implicitly if not explicitly. On the second-order theory, determinables are second-order properties of determinate properties; on the second-level theory, determinables are first-order properties of the particulars with these determinate properties. Higher-order properties are prima facie ontologically uneconomical, and in line with my general (...) view that ontological parsimony is vital to metaphysics, I consider it highly important which of the two theories is true. Firstly, I argue that the second-level theory offers the best explanation of the explananda (though the race is close), including the important but neglected phenomenon of 'intermediate determinables'. Secondly, by paying attention to intermediate determinables and instantiation of higher-order properties, I argue that the second-level theory also is more ontologically economical. For these two reasons, this theory is preferable. (shrink)
AGM-Like Paraconsistent Belief Change.Rafael R. Testa, Marcelo E. Coniglio & Marcio M. Ribeiro - 2017 - Logic Journal of the IGPL 25 (4):632-672.details
Two systems of belief change based on paraconsistent logics are introduced in this article by means of AGM-like postulates. The first one, AGMp, is defined over any paraconsistent logic which extends classical logic such that the law of excluded middle holds w.r.t. the paraconsistent negation. The second one, AGMo , is specifically designed for paraconsistent logics known as Logics of Formal Inconsistency (LFIs), which have a formal consistency operator that allows to recover all the classical inferences. Besides the three usual (...) operations over belief sets, namely expansion, contraction and revision (which is obtained from contraction by the Levi identity), the underlying paraconsistent logic allows us to define additional operations involving (non-explosive) contradictions. Thus, it is defined external revision (which is obtained from contraction by the reverse Levi identity), consolidation and semi-revision, all of them over belief sets. It is worth noting that the latter operations, introduced by S. Hansson, involve the temporary acceptance of contradictory beliefs, and so they were originally defined only for belief bases. Unlike to previous proposals in the literature, only defined for specific paraconsistent logics, the present approach can be applied to a general class of paraconsistent logics which are supraclassical, thus preserving the spirit of AGM. Moreover, representation theorems w.r.t. constructions based on selection functions are obtained for all the operations. (shrink)
David Lewis, Donald C. Williams, and the History of Metaphysics in the Twentieth Century.A. R. J. Fisher - 2015 - Journal of the American Philosophical Association 1 (1):3--22.details
The revival of analytic metaphysics in the latter half of the twentieth century is typically understood as a consequence of the critiques of logical positivism, Quine's naturalization of ontology, Kripke's Naming and Necessity, clarifications of modal notions in logic, and the theoretical exploitation of possible worlds. However, this explanation overlooks the work of metaphysicians at the height of positivism and linguisticism that affected metaphysics of the late twentieth century. Donald C. Williams is one such philosopher. In this paper I explain (...) how Williams's fundamental ontology and philosophy of time influenced in part the early formation of David Lewis's metaphysics. Thus, Williams played an important role in the revival of analytic metaphysics. (shrink)
High-Level Explanation and the Interventionist's 'Variables Problem'.L. R. Franklin-Hall - 2016 - British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 67 (2):553-577.details
The interventionist account of causal explanation, in the version presented by Jim Woodward, has been recently claimed capable of buttressing the widely felt—though poorly understood—hunch that high-level, relatively abstract explanations, of the sort provided by sciences like biology, psychology and economics, are in some cases explanatorily optimal. It is the aim of this paper to show that this is mistaken. Due to a lack of effective constraints on the causal variables at the heart of the interventionist causal-explanatory scheme, as presently (...) formulated it is either unable to prefer high-level explanations to low, or systematically overshoots, recommending explanations at so high of a level as to be virtually vacuous.

Co-Operation and Human Values: A Study of Moral Reasoning.R. E. Ewin - 1981 - New York: St. Martin's Press.details
I shall be dealing, throughout this book, with a set of related problems: the relationship between morality and reasoning in general, the way in which moral reasoning is properly to be carried on, and why morality is not arbitrary. The solutions to these problems come out of the same train of argument. Morality is not arbitrary, I shall argue, because the acceptance of certain qualities of character as virtues and the rejection of others as vices is forced on us by (...) the co-operative basis of human life. The co-operation in human life is unavoidable; the alternative is a literal Hobbesian state of nature, and that is impossible. It is not that co-operation between people is a good thing or even a very good thing; it is simply unavoidable in human life, and it is impossible unless the qualities of character counted as virtues are encouraged and are at least fairly common. The possibility of human life presupposes a theory of human nature, and working out that theory of human nature is the main job of moral philosophy. These virtues or qualities of character or attitudes lead us towards a theory of reasons. A person with a sense of justice is a person inclined to accept certain sorts of facts as reasons for acting, and if the virtues are presupposed by human life then the acceptance of those sorts of facts as reasons for acting is presupposed by human life. A condition of the life of reasoning beings (a more accurate term here than 'human beings') is that moral reasons are reasons for acting and are at the very basis of reasoning. And from this it follows that properly conducted moral reasoning is ultimately guided by the virtues rather than ultimately guided by a set of rules. (shrink)
Moral "Lock-In" in Responsible Innovation: The Ethical and Social Aspects of Killing Day-Old Chicks and Its Alternatives.M. R. N. Bruijnis, V. Blok, E. N. Stassen & H. G. J. Gremmen - 2013 - Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics 28 (5):939-960.details
The aim of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework that will help in understanding and evaluating, along social and ethical lines, the issue of killing day-old male chicks and two alternative directions of responsible innovations to solve this issue. The following research questions are addressed: Why is the killing of day-old chicks morally problematic? Are the proposed alternatives morally sound? To what extent do the alternatives lead to responsible innovation? The conceptual framework demonstrates clearly that there is a (...) moral "lock-in", and why the killing of day-old chicks is indeed an issue. Furthermore, it is shown that both alternative directions address some important objections with regard to the killing of day-old chicks, but that they also raise new dilemmas. It also becomes clear that the framework enables and secures anticipation, reflection, deliberation with and responsiveness to stakeholders, the four dimensions of responsible innovation, in a structured way.

Loyalty: The Police.R. E. Ewin - 1990 - Criminal Justice Ethics 9 (2):3-15.details
What concerns me in this paper is a connection between motivation and various duties, especially duties that arise in the context of an institution such as a police force. I shall want to spread my net wider than that and discuss such issues as the role of loyalty in human life, but the focus will come back to the professional loyalties of police officers and, particularly, the discussion of the police culture in the Fitzgerald Report. What is it that motivates (...) people to perform their duties? Perhaps what matters, in the end, is that the duty is done more than why it is done, but motivation will have a lot to do with whether duty is done at all and with how well it is done. Motivation affects efficiency as well as morality and must, therefore, be given considerable thought by anybody concerned with an organization in which people are to perform their duties. (shrink)

Within contemporary philosophical theology the doctrine of divine simplicity has regained attention. There are several new defenses of simplicity in the literature. One of the more surprising, and troubling, aspects of the contemporary defenses amongst Christian philosophers and theologians is a seeming lack of understanding about how radical the doctrine of divine simplicity truly is. As such, I wish to do a few things in this paper. First, systematically articulate the doctrine of divine simplicity. Second, argue that divine simplicity is (...) not a possible perfection. Third, offer some concluding remarks and remaining issues that will need to be sorted out for the debate over simplicity to continue. (shrink)

The concept of instantiation is realized differently across a variety of metaphysical theories. A certain realization of the concept in a given theory depends on what roles are specified and associated with the concept and its corresponding term as well as what entities are suited to fill those roles. In this paper, the classic realization of the concept of instantiation in a one-category ontology of abstract particulars or tropes is articulated in a novel way and defended against unaddressed objections.

Q: Postfix How to send mail in behalf of an alias I'm using postfix as a mail relay in a very simple setup, mostly with aliases, forwarding mails to GMail.
My main goal with this is to minimize the need for mailboxes on my server.
Let's assume I have the following alias
bob@mydomain.tld -> bob@gmail.com

I would like to redirect/forward all incoming mail for bob@mydomain.tld to the GMail account bob@mydomain.tld. That's the easy part.
Now for all outgoing mail sent by bob@mydomain.tld GMail offers me the feature to send mails in behalf of a different account in the settings.
However, in order for this to work, GMail needs to be able to login via SMTP for bob@mydomain.tld, which is just an alias.
Is there a way to forward incoming mails with an alias by still being able to send mails via SMTP/SASL?

A: Meanwhile I managed to "solve" it - at least for my own personal needs.
I added the mailbox/user/login bob@mydomain.tld in order to enable the SASL authentication for that particular user.
Then, instead of adding an alias, I added the following recipient map
bob@mydomain.tld -> bob@gmail.com

Which means I can

*

*Receive all mail with the GMail account bob@gmail.com; and

*SMTP login and SASL auth. as bob@mydomain.tld in order to send mail; and

*Do no. (2) from the GMail account

So the mailbox is there, but it won't take up any actual space, because all mail will be redirected to GMail.

Schools lost kids last year. Has enrollment rebounded?
Sioux Falls' enrollment dipped during the height of the pandemic. Here's a breakdown of what it's like a year later.
15 Sep 2021 • 1 min read
Simplified: Sioux Falls' enrollment dipped during the height of the pandemic. A year later, it appears to be leveling out, though early numbers show fewer elementary students and more high schoolers.
Enrollment dropped by 274 students from fall 2019 to fall 2020, according to the school district.
It's too soon to say what the official fall enrollment count this year will be. The state collects that data near the end of September each year.
But, preliminary numbers show the district holding steady in the number of students at about 24,100, an increase of about 30 kids year-over-year.
Kindergarten was expected to see an increase – and it did – but the proportion of 5 and 6 year olds matched the usual trend, said Doug Morrison, director of innovation. That means the theory that more parents held kids back doesn't offer a full explanation.
"There's a little bit of mystery as to what that was," Morrison said.
Show me the numbers
Ask and you shall receive.
High schoolers saw the biggest change in year-over-year initial enrollment with an added 152 students.
Morrison said some of those – around 60 – are open enrolling at the new Jefferson High School.
Another 38 of them are students who were also seniors last year but failed to earn enough credits to graduate, he added.
Middle school enrollment stayed steady at around 5,600.
Elementary school enrollment dipped by about 100 students from last year for a preliminary total of 11,180 this year.
Kindergarten saw its largest class in recent history with about 2,000 students. That's up 200 kids from last fall and up about 50 from fall 2019.
