SafeTraces Makes The Food You Eat Safer
By Tina Hansen
Not often is there a company that can say it makes our lives safer, but without question Pleasanton's SafeTraces can make that claim.
Last October, SafeTraces received a Federal grant from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help them improve methods for verification of sanitation in food processing facilities.
Even though the food supply and production in American is among the safest in the world, routine reports are heard about a foodborne illness or recall warning. According to the FDA, it is estimated that annually 48 million people report a foodborne illness, which means one in six Americans are sickened from tainted food. Furthermore, each year these illnesses result in an estimated 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths.
This a major concern in California because of the vast amount of food the state produces and sells all over the world. The panic this causes is far reaching and costly for both the consumer, retailer and food producer. These recalls, some done proactively by the company, are mostly done after an illness is reported and can cost hundreds of millions of dollars and tarnish the entire industry's image.
SafeTrace has developed a ground-breaking technology that is essentially a DNA barcode that tracks food. The application, which is edible, odorless and tasteless, is added directly to the food that allows for the food's origin information to be rapidly traced. The food will be traceable back to the producer giving food processors and resellers the source information and safety assurances they need to react quickly.
It is applied in minute amounts and according the FDA guidelines, is "generally recognized as safe" (G.R.A.S.), which means it is a substance added to food that is considered safe by experts so it does not require labelling.
"Our work is providing a rapid, safe, on-site method to verify sanitation in food processing operations," says Anthony Zografos, founder and CEO of SafeTraces.
Last year not only did SafeTraces receive the FDA grant, but it also closed a Series Seed round that raised $1.5 million in funding.
"We are thrilled to close this round so quickly, even as the funding environment for early start ups is starting to cool," said Zografos. "We see this as strong validation of an immediate market need for our cutting-edge food safety solutions."
SafeTraces currently has four US patents for the technology, and there are two pending US patents and two pending international patent applications.
Until recently the US apple industry had always been immune to food safety problems. However, that changed a few years ago when caramel apples were linked to a 12-state outbreak of Listeriosis, a potentially fatal foodborne illness. The outbreak contributed to three deaths linked to the outbreak and resulted in a massive $15 million loss in export sales for Washington State's apple industry even though the tainted apples did not come from an orchard in Washington State.
So it is no surprise that SafeTraces has begun working with an apple producer in Washington State with hopes of reaching more orchards in this region and beyond.

Things should get rather festive around the NFL this coming week. Some teams continue to battle for their playoff lives. That includes the struggling Carolina Panthers and the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
Over in the AFC, the Baltimore Ravens will take to Kansas City in a game between two teams winning in opposite ways. Can the Ravens pull off their fourth consecutive win?
And in Dallas, the Cowboys are attempting to pretty much lock up the NFC East. Can Ezekiel Elliott and Co. continue their hot streak?
These are among the most interesting storylines for NFL Week 14.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) � The 13th-ranked Florida Gators thought they finally had gotten healthy again when Erik Murphy felt a sharp pain in his knee during a non-contact pick-and-roll drill in practice. He hurt enough that trainers checked him with an MRI, iced him up and got him a sleeve to wear over his knee.
Well, Murphy is a very quick healer.
Murphy scored a career-high 27 points and grabbed a career-best 12 rebounds Friday helping the Gators take the first step toward trying to add a Southeastern Conference tournament title to their regular season championship by beating LSU 80-58.
Murphy hurt the Tigers both inside and out as he hit 11 of 15 shots, including five 3-pointers that matched his career high in that category.
�Shots were falling today, so it always feels good,� Murphy said.
SEC Commissioner Mike Slive presented Donovan with the regular season trophy before tipoff. Then the Gators (25-6) started working toward their first tournament title since 2007 when they wrapped up a three-peat. They will play Alabama, a 58-48 winner over Tennessee, the semifinals Saturday.
�Obviously, we want to win the tournament here, but we have to take it one game at a time,� Murphy said.
Scottie Wilbekin added 16 points, matching his career-best with four 3-pointers. Michael Frazier II had 11 and Patric Young 10 for Florida.
Ninth-seeded LSU (19-12) tried to keep up with the rested Gators but looked a step slow with too many shots just short a day after beating Georgia to advance. Charles Carmouche led the Tigers with 14 points. LSU coach Johnny Jones said his Tigers weren't hitting on all cylinders.
Florida dominated LSU with a 47-27 edge on the boards and easily outshot the Tigers as the Gators hit better from 3-point range (11 of 20, 55 percent) than they did overall (29 of 57, 50.9 percent) or at the line (11 of 22). LSU shot 33.3 percent (18 of 54).
The Gators missed their last 11 shots in losing at Kentucky to wrap up the regular season for their third straight road loss in SEC play. It's why Donovan put them through some challenging practices before the tournament, and they are healthy enough that he wound up playing 11 of his 12 Gators at least four minutes in the rout.
They had no problems against LSU, not with Murphy scoring 20 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in the first 22 minutes. They led 43-28 at halftime and pushed that lead to as much as 35 when Murphy scored seven straight points, the last with 8:41 left for a 73-38 lead.
Murphy got Florida going as he scored in the opening minute, and the Gators hit five of their first eight shots. They did just about everything they wanted whether it was driving to the basket or hitting from outside. Even when they did miss, they usually got the rebound for second and third chances.
LSU led twice, the last at 5-4 on a layup by Johnny O'Bryant III. Rosario answered with a layup with 18:02 to go putting the Gators ahead to stay at 6-5. Murphy followed with his own layup and then a 3-pointer. The Tigers stayed close with Carmouche hitting his first three shots all behind the arc, the third coming midway through the half to pull LSU within 18-17.
Wilbekin hit a jumper, then stole the ball feeding Frazier for a bucket. Wilbekin then capped a 9-0 spurt with a 3 pushing Florida's lead to double digits. With O'Bryant going 1 of 5 in the half, the Tigers struggled to score inside and settled for too many jumpers. O'Bryant finished with eight points.
The final seconds summed up the first half. The Tigers dribbled looking for a final shot that Hickey bounced off the rim, then Frazier beat the buzzer with a 3-pointer giving the Gators a 43-28 lead.
In the second half, the Gators even worked out the final kink in their game hitting their first four free throws as the nation's top team in scoring margin just kept pushing the lead bigger. LSU managed a quick late flurry whittling down the final score but never got closer than 22 in the final minute.

China Successfully Soft-Lands Probe On The Moon
BEIJING (AP) — China on Saturday successfully carried out the world's first soft landing of a space probe on the moon in nearly four decades, the next stage in an ambitious space program that aims to eventually have a Chinese astronaut set foot on the moon.
The unmanned Chang'e 3 lander, named after a mythical Chinese goddess of the moon, touched down on Earth's nearest neighbor following a 12-minute landing process.
The lander carried a six-wheeled moon rover called "Yutu," or "Jade Rabbit," the goddess' pet. After touching down Saturday evening on a fairly flat, Earth-facing part of the moon, the rover was slated to separate from the Chang'e eight hours after landing and embark on a three-month scientific exploration.
China's space program is an enormous source of pride for the country, the third to carry out a lunar soft landing after the United States and the former Soviet Union. The last one was by the Soviet Union in 1976
"It's still a significant technological challenge to land on another world," said Peter Bond, consultant editor for Jane's Space Systems and Industry. "Especially somewhere like the moon, which doesn't have an atmosphere so you can't use parachutes or anything like that. You have to use rocket motors for the descent and you have to make sure you go down at the right angle and the right rate of descent and you don't end up in a crater on top of a large rock."
Wow - I didn't know about this program. Looks like the Chinese are serious about their space program!
Remember what the dormouse said: Feed your head!

Re: China Lands Probe On The Moon
It's always cool to see a human artefact running around on another celestial body.
By the way, the conspiracy theorists are having a field day. They declare that it must be fake because the pictures from Jade Rabbit (gotta love the Chinese for their name giving) look way too crisp and clear compared to those of old.
But of course, since the last visit to the moon (37 years ago!), there might have been some progress in camera quality

My first thought--and this is terrible--was to get angry at the idea that they were up there in the first place. Not because the US should be doing it (though, it should), and not because it could, in some lights, almost be construed as the start of a new space race. No, I got angry because they're probably going to leave that crap on my rock!
It seems almost like science fiction, but I am inspired to rekindle a belief that space could be our next big point of contention. Space or water.
Anyway, go China. Now, see if you can keep your sociopathic ten-year-olds in check.

Someone starts putting shit on the moon, but it's not their moon. It's the planet's moon. Aw shit, you gotta stop that nonsense. Make me. OK. KABLOOM.
The point is that without nuclear fusion, combined with global climate change and oil depletion, 30 years from now, no one will have the resources to be playing with space.
It's happening, like, literally right now.

Ummm... as the OP indicates, it isn't. The Chinese are definitely spending resources on space right now.

DISCUSS1O.Y
The procedure given here is based on certain assumptions for which no proof is possible. In view of the fact that a t equilibrium the results of this method can be checked by distillation, it seems logical to assume that the results are accurate at any stage of the reaction. The procedure was developed after a careful investigation of the factors influencing its accuracy. To establish that no saponification of polylactic acids occurs during titration, a comparison W R ? made of results obtained by
use of both aqueous and alcoholic base with those reported i n the literature for various strengths of the acid in the range 0 to 85% lactic acid. I n this range the experimental results substantially checked those of the literature. Because methyl lactate hydrolyzes readily, it wm necessary to determine how the titration would affect this ester. I t was found that if the dilute base was added in a slow steady stream with excellent agitation no saponification of the ester occurred until all the free acid had been neutralized. Neutral red was chosen as indicator because its color change at p H 7 minimized the danger of hydrolysis. The technique of titration increased in importance as equilibrium in the esterification mixture was approached. The determination of the breakdown of the polymeric acid is a more complex problem I t was decided to assume that the mechanism is that previously discussed. To evaluate this hydrolysis it was decided to use a substance that would remove the monomeric acid and at the same time add water. Lactic acid to which calcium lactate had been added waa heated to study the possibility of a "salt effect," After determining that the salt effect did not influence the hydrolysis of the polylactic acids, the use of basic materials was studied. Solid bases proved too insoluble in the mixture and their distribution and heat output were too difficult to control. The use of alcoholic sodium hydroxide resulted in some esterification between the alcohol and the acid at high temperatures. Finally, saturated aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions were utilized with satisfactory results. LITERATURE CITED

Determination of Sulfur Trioxide in Chlorosulfonic Acid Thermometric Methods WILLIAM SEAMAN, J. T. WOODS, AND H. N. BANK American Cyanamid Company, Calco Chemical Division, Bound Brook, A'. J .
ECAUSE the concentration of free sulfur trioxide in chlorosulfonic acid is of importance in some of the uses of this acid, it became necessary to develop a more precise method for its determination than that generally used, which involves a total acid value and a chloride value (2, 3, 6, 6). This method is not sufficientlyprecise because it is necessary to determine the sulfur trioxide indirectly, and the factors involved are such that an error of 0.1% each in the acid value and the chloride value causes an error of 1.0% sulfur trioxide. Considerable heat is evolved when hydrogen chloride reacts with sulfur trioxide. According to Ogier (4),the heat of formation of chlorosulfonic acid from sulfur trioxide (solid) and hgtlrogon chloride (gaseous) is 14 1 kg.-cal. and its specific heat is
0.282 calorie per gram. The method finally developed, involving measurement of the temperature rise when gaseous hydrogen chloride is passed into chlorosulfonic acid containing sulfur trioxide, is not only sufficiently precise for the determination of low concentrations of sulfur trioxide, but gives more precise values than the old method for samples containing high concentrations of sulfur trioxide. METHOD O F ANALYSIS
Apparatus. All parts of the apparatus which come into contact with the sample must be thoroughly dry. In Figure 1 are shown a cylinder or generator of dry hydrogen chloride; a gasometer for measuring t,he hydrogen chloride consisting of a
550 3-liter, round-bottomed flask, G, connected t o a 2-liter llariotte bottle, H,with kerosene as the retaining liquid; and a vessel for carrying out the reaction, which consists of an 8 X 1.5 inch test tube, I , equipped with a four-hole stopper containing a sinteredglass bubbling tube, E, a thermometer calibrated in 0.1", A , a gas outlet equipped with indicating-grade Drierite, F,, and a glass tube for introducing the sample, B. This tube is equipped with a rubber ~leevewhich fits over the tip of the buret or pipet used to introduce the sample. At all other times, the tube is closed off from the air by the screw clamp, J1. The test tube is kept in a wide-mouthed bottle, C, about 10 inches high and 5 inches in diameter with a mouth 3 inches in diameter. This bottle is packed with glass wool to insulate the test tube. (The insulated bottle and test tube may conveniently be replaced by a small Dewar flask of such dimensions that the thermometer bulb is completely covered by the sample.) Procedure for Samples Containing Less Than 354 Sulfur Trioxide. The apparatus assembly, reagents, and sample should be at room temperature. With the reaction vessel disconnected from the rest of the apparatus, dry hydrogen chloride gas is swept through the apparatus to displace the air, and a measured amount (about 2 liters) of gas is stored in the gasometer by adjusting the appropriate clamps and measuring the increase in the volume of liquid in the Mariotte bottle. The test tube and stopper assembly, previously dried by heating and aeration with a stream of dry air, is placed in the bottle of glass wool, and the bubbler tube is attached to the rubber connection on the drying tube with clamp J3 closed. Through the opening provided for the purpose, 100 ml. of the sample are introduced from a buret or pipet. Immediately after addition of the sample, the rubber tube, J1,is clamped shut. If a pipet is used to transfer the sample, precautions should be taken to prevent contamination by moisture during the transfer of the sample. To do this, the pipet is fitted with a two-hole stopper which fits the opening of the sample bottle. .4 drying tube containing Drierite is placed in the other hole. The pipet itself is protected with a tube containing Drierite. To control the flow of the sample, a small glass bead is placed in the short rubber tube connecting the pipet and drying tube. The whole assembly is placed in the sample bottle as soon as the stopper is removed and the pipet filled by suction. If the sample is delivered from a buret, it must be protected by drying tubes. After the temperature of the solution in the test tube has become constant, it is noted as tl. The hydrogen chloride gas is then swept through the sample after opening clamp J8. The kerosene head is about 18 inches. Under these conditions the flow of hydrogen chloride is about 300 ml. per minute. The temperature begins to rise immediately, and after about 3 minutes reaches a maximum. The maximum temperature is noted and from this is subtracted the original temperature, tl, to give the rise in temperature, At. The sulfur trioxide content is then calculated from a standard equation: % SO3 (by weight) = 0.291 At (1)
The parameter 0.291 is n coiiqtant for the particular weight of sample taken and apparatus used. It was derived by analyzing known mixtures of sulfur trioxide and chlorosulfonic acid. It has since been found for most vessels used that this const,ant will be applicable wit,li an error of only n, few per cent at t,he most, but for the highest accuracy any particular apparatus should be calibrated before use. Procedure for Samples Containing More Than 370 Sulfur Trioxide. I t is necessary to dilute samples containing more than about, 3% sulfur trioxide m-ith a stock solution of chlorosulfonic acid of known low sulfur trioxide content, because such samples require more hydrogen chloride than is used in this procedure. For the dilution it was found more convenient to measure the sample by weight than by volume because there is an appreciable variation of specific gravity with sulfur trioxide content. The diluent could be measured by volume. The volume of diluent needed, 90.0 or 95.0 ml., is added to the test tube to be used for the analysis through the opening in the rubber stopper provided for that purpose. The opening is then clamped shut. A Lunge pipet, previously calibrated to deliver 5.0 or 10.0 ml., thoroughly dry, and with no lubricant on the stopcocks, is filled to the desired mark from the sample bottle by suction. The tip of the pipet is wiped with a dry cloth, the protective bottom part is put in place, and the pipet and contents are weighed to + 5 mg. (?VI). The pipet is capped with a drying tube to dry the entering air. Two drops of the sample are drained into the protective cap of the Lunge pipet to remove any acid which may have come into contact with air, and the protective bottom part is removed and stoppered immediately with a rubber stopper. The Lunge pipet is placed in the opening of the stopper for admitting the sample, the entire contents of the pipet are run into the test tube, the cap is replaced, and the Lunge pipet is weighed again (W2).

The analysis is then made as described for samples containing less than 370 of sulfur trioxide.

Because no other method was available for accurately determining low concentrations of sulfur trioxide in chlorosulfonic acid, it Fas necessary to establish the equation relating temperature rise and sulfur trioxide concentration by diluting a knonn concentrated solution of the sulfur trioxide in chlorosulfonic acid with a chlorosulfonic acid for which the temperature rise had been previously determined. The concentrated solution had to be analyzed by the only available method (2, 3, 5, 6), which has poor precision. However, by averaging the values from seven determinations of total acidity and seven determinations of chloride, the relative error in the sulfur trioxide determination was reduced to the same order of magnitude as would apply to

A method proposed for determining sulfur trioxide in chlorosulfonic acid involves measuring the temperature rise obtained by reaction with hydrogen chloride. The method has a precision of *0.024v~ sulfur trioxide, expressed as the standard deviation of a single value from the mean, and is considerably more precise and more rapid than the usual method involving the determination of total acidity and chlorides. Sulfuric acid, at least up to 5%, does not interfere. There is no evidence of any systematic error. There is some evidence for the existence of the equilibrium ClS03H HCl SO3 in chlorosulfonic acid at and below room temperature.
trioside was determined. From the results given in Table I it is evident that sulfuric acid, at least up to 5% by volume, has 110 effect on the values found. PRECISION AND ACCURACY
Titration Method. The individual values for total acidity and hydrochloric acid obtained in the analysis of the stock solution of sulfur trioxide in chlorosulfonic acid are given in Table 11. By using the formulas given by Scott (6), the sulfur trioxide value of 31.2% may be found as follows:

If greater precision is required, the results of several determinations can be averaged. A comparison of the values obtained on samples of high sulfur trioxide content is given in Table 111. The two methods agree as well as can be expected. Accuracy. Except for the possible small error which could be caused by some heat of solution of hydrogen chloride in chlorosulfonic acid, there is no reason to believe that the method involves any systematic errors.

mindtion. The temperature rise, Af, was noted. Air, dried in succession with a number of desiccants and finally with phosphorus pentoxide, was then passed through the bubbler. The exit gases were bubbled through standard alkali for definite periods of time and the excess alkali was titrated with standard acid. Curves were obtained by plotting consumption of alkali against time. In each experiment similar curves were obtained, a large amount of acid, probably the hydrogen chloride in the system, being expelled immediately, after which the curve sloped off gradually. Even after several hours of aeration, the curves did not reach zero alkali consumption, although they approached this value. Samples of the exit gases, when dissolved in distilled water, gave positive tests for both chloride and sulfate. After air had been passed through for several hours, hydrogen cliloride was passed in again from the gasometer as in the regular determinations. The values obtained are given in Table IV. Icuperiment 4 was carried out by blowing air cooled to about -15" to -20' C. through chlorosulfonic acid kept at about this temperature.

The hydrogen chloride, being the most volatile of these substances, is preferentially removed, and thus the sulfur trioxide concentration is built up to a point after which little more gas is lost. The reason the curves of alkali consumption against time did not reach zero alkali consumption is that chlorosulfonic acid has an appreciable vapor pressure (8.65 mm. at 20" C. and 12.23 mm. at 30" C., 1 ) . It is known that chlorosulfonic acid dissociates to some extent at a high temperature (7, 8 ) , but there seems to be some disagreement over the products. Williamson ( 8 )stated that the acid decomposed to some extent into hydrogen chloride and sulfur trioxide at the boiling point, while at a high temperature (216') Williams ( 7 ) gave as the product of the dissociation sulfur trioxide, sulfur dioxide, water, and chlorine. These latter products are obviously unlikely a t room temperature.

Most Exclusive Klapa Concert in History: 4 Tickets to Be Sold in Total!
By Nikolina Demark 19 October 2017
Fancy a music show for a very selected audience?
The music industry is a wondrous thing. Like any other experience that fills people with joy or stirs other powerful emotions in people, music shows have the power to push us just a tad beyond the line of reality for a short while... and we're prepared to pay good money for it. Concert ticket prices can reach unimaginable sums, but if we're really emotionally invested in a band, or a singer, or a music genre, you name it – we might complain a little, but we'll scrape whatever we have left and buy the precious piece of paper that gets us in.
All that taken into consideration, it's still surprising to learn about an upcoming show whose audience will be comprised of four people in total. A private gig? An exclusive rock show? None of the above – it's a klapa concert!
The cultural-artistic society (KUD) Bleke i Konji from Zadar is about to stage the most expensive a cappella concert in Croatia's history, according to 057info. Four tickets, each priced at 1.640 kuna – roughly 220 euro.
KUD Bleke i Konji has been organising klapa meetups named 'Back to the origins' (Povratak iskonu) since 2003, each time collaborating with doyens of traditional Dalmatian a capella singing: klapa Fortunal, Crikvenica, Vocalists of Salona, Folk Singers of Vranjic, Folk Singers of Prvić Šepurina and Folk Singers of Vrbanj on Hvar island. The last are better known for their part in preserving the tradition of the wonderful Hvar custom – Za Križen, the 500 year-old cross-bearing procession protected by UNESCO.
This year, the host invited Klapa Vinčace from Novi Vinodolski, who won Omiš music festival three years in a row. They are described as dedicated to autochtonous musical expression, resulting in performances that have the power to transport the audience back into the past. They will be joined by Klapa Munita and a surprise guest.
Enio Meštrović, the president of KUD Bleke i Konji, stated that the entrance to the concert will be strictly forbidden, apart from the four lucky spectators who will witness the performance. They will also become a part of a documentary that will get filmed during the concert. "Every potential attempt at getting in [without a ticket] will be stopped by security. Throughout the day-long concert, we pledge to protect the cultural heritage from prostitution", says the dramatic statement from the director.
You're right to wonder why only four people would be allowed to witness a performance that belongs to a traditional music genre, and is as far away from an elitist nature as it could be. To make things even more confusing, the KUD announced they are organising a contest for the lovers and connoisseurs of klapa music; they'll be giving away four tickets.... for a show that seats four in total. What's with the prices then? Will there be eight people at the concert after all?
Here's what this is really about: Bleke i Konji are not your run-of-the-mill cultural-artistic society, nor a very serious one. Okay, that depends on how you define serious; the point is, they care more about stirring entertaining, creative mayhem than about coming off as prestigious and respectable. They're known for an array of artistic actions and manifestations such as local carnivals, fun theatrical shows, mocumentaries... All of them very enjoyable if you're able to appreciate a healthy dose of satire. Here's some footage of their cabaret-like klapa performance that might sound like traditional Croatian singing, but is actually a cover of a Serbian hit titled Smej se smej (Laugh, Just Laugh) sang by Miroslav Ilić.
Whatever comes out of the upcoming show, it's probably going to be worth a watch. The concert is taking place at Bokanjac in Zadar on Saturday, October 21.

Cognitive Spread: Under What Conditions Does the Mind Extend Beyond the Body?Zed Adams & Chauncey Maher - 2012 - European Journal of Philosophy 20 (4):420-438.details
The extended mind hypothesis (EMH) is the claim that the mind can and does extend beyond the human body. Adams and Aizawa (A&A) contend that arguments for EMH commit a 'coupling constitution fallacy'. We deny that the master argument for EMH commits such a fallacy. But we think that there is an important question lurking behind A&A's allegation: under what conditions is cognition spread across a tightly coupled system? Building on some suggestions from Haugeland, we contend that the system must (...) exhibit a distinctive sort of semantic activity, semantic activity that the system as a whole takes responsibility for.

On Being and Holding Responsible.Chauncey Maher - 2010 - Philosophical Explorations 13 (2):129-140.details
In his Responsibility and the moral sentiments , Wallace develops the idea that we should think of what it is to be morally responsible for an act in terms of norms for holding someone responsible for that act. Smith has recently claimed that Wallace's approach and those like it are 'fundamentally misguided'. She says that such approaches make the mistake of incorporating conditions for 'actively blaming' others into the basic conditions for being responsible, when in fact the conditions for active (...) blame 'go beyond' the basic conditions. In this essay, I argue that Smith's otherwise illuminating discussion of these 'Normativist' approaches does not undermine them. Specifically, I maintain that being actively blamable by certain persons with the relevant standing is actually constitutive of being responsible for at least some acts. By distinguishing between persons with different sorts of standing, a Normativist approach can avoid Smith's challenge. My larger aim is thus to clarify and defend the Normativist approach. (shrink)
Action Individuation: A Normative Functionalist Approach.Chauncey Maher - 2011 - Philosophical Explorations 14 (1):99-116.details
How or in virtue of what does any one particular action differ from another? Available views on the issue of action individuation tend to emphasize the descriptive features of actions, such as where and when they occur, or what they cause or are caused by. I contend instead that actions are individuated by their normative features, such as what licenses them and what they license in turn. In this essay, deploying a suggestion from Sellars and Brandom, I argue specifically that (...) actions are individuated by their normative function or role. (shrink)
Strange but True On the Counter-Intuitiveness of the Extended Mind Hypothesis.Chauncey Maher & Zed Adams - 2013 - Journal of Consciousness Studies 20 (9-10):9-10.details
The Extended Mind Hypothesis (EM) strikes many as counter-intuitive. It is the claim that things outside of human bodies are literally parts of human minds. But EM rests upon a plausible idea: that the world itself is minded when parts of it are functionally equivalent to parts of human minds. In this paper, we address two intuitive criticisms of EM recently expressed by Sam Coleman (Coleman, 2011). The first is that the examples of extended mind offered by advocates of EM (...) are not parts of minds, because subjects are not "conscious" or "immediately aware" of those parts of the external world. The second is that the principle at the heart of the argument for EM is biased in favor of EM. We show how both of these intuitive criticisms of EM fail. Our ultimate aim is to suggest that the counter-intuitiveness of EM is not a barrier to its acceptance. (shrink)

The Power of Humility in Sceptical Religion: Why Ietsism is Preferable to J. L. Schellenberg's Ultimism.James Elliott - 2017 - Religious Studies 53 (1):97-116.details
J. L. Schellenberg's Philosophy of Religion argues for a specific brand of sceptical religion that takes 'Ultimism' – the proposition that there is a metaphysically, axiologically, and soteriologically ultimate reality – to be the object to which the sceptical religionist should assent. In this article I shall argue that Ietsism – the proposition that there is merely something transcendental worth committing ourselves to religiously – is a preferable object of assent. This is for two primary reasons. First, Ietsism is far (...) more modest than Ultimism; Ietsism, in fact, is open to the truth of Ultimism, while the converse does not hold. Second, Ietsism can fulfil the same criteria that compel Schellenberg to argue for Ultimism. (shrink)
Daring to Disturb the Universe: Heidegger's Authenticity and The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.Dominic Griffiths - 2009 - Literator 30 (2):107-126.details
In Heidegger's Being and Time certain concepts are discussed which are central to the ontological constitution of Dasein. This paper demonstrates the interesting manner in which some of these concepts can be used in a reading of T.S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. A comparative analysis is performed, explicating the relevant Heideggerian terms and then relating them to Eliot's poem. In this way strong parallels are revealed between the two men's respective thoughts and distinct modernist sensibilities. Prufrock, (...) the protagonist of the poem, and the world he inhabits illustrate poetically concepts such as authenticity, inauthenticity, the 'they', idle talk and angst, which Heidegger develops in Being and Time.

La metafísica como la ciencia de la esencia: E. J. Lowe y Tomás de Aquino.Alejandro Pérez - 2013 - Civilizar 25 (13):177-188.details
La metafísica después de ser ignorada por años ha regresado al centro de la escena en la filosofía contemporánea. Tomás de Aquino ha vivido una historia muy parecida, lo que dio nacimiento al tomismo analítico. A pesar de los trabajos desarrollados en esta línea de investigación, la metafísica del Aquinate ha sido fuertemente ignorada. Sin embargo, la metafísica de Tomás de Aquino tiene una ventaja, poco discutida entre los tomistas y tomasinos, y es la de ser una metafísica esencialista. Así, (...) en armonía con el trabajo del metafísico E. J. Lowe, quien presenta su metafísica como "esencialista seria", se quiere mostrar que la metafísica del Aquinate tiene las mismas virtudes del "esencialismo serio", lo que permite postularla como una posición válida y plausible para la metafísica contemporánea.

Signs of Reality - the Idea of General Bildung by J. A. Comenius.Eetu Pikkarainen - 2012 - In Pauli Siljander, Ari Kivelä & Ari Sutinen (eds.), Theories of Bildung and Growth: Connections and Controversies between Continental Educational Thinking and American Pragmatism. Sense Publishers. pp. 19-30.details
Eetu Pikkarainen describes the educational thinking of Johann AmosComenius (1592-1670) from a perspective of Bildung -theoretical problems. Comenius has had a remarkable influence on modern education, particularly through his language-learning and general didactical methods and principles. However, Comenius' broader pansophic views have had somewhat more benign later effects. Comenius developed a reformation programme concerning the 'main areas' of reality, from theology and education to philosophy and language to social questions and world peace. This program has important connections to the modern (...) theories of Bildung. Comenius connects individual human growth with global issues such as the growth of scientific knowledge, the justice of political systems, and world peace. In his philosophy, Comenius strongly criticises the problems of the rising modern thinking such as trapping to dualisms. From that angle, Comenius appears an almost postmodern thinker with surprising similarity to the thoughts of C S Peirce. (shrink)
Sympathy and Scapegoating in J.M. Coetzee.Andy Lamey - 2010 - In Anton Leist & Peter Singer (eds.), J. M. Coetzee and Ethics: Philosophical Perspectives on Literature.details
J.M. Coetzee's book, 'Elizabeth Costello' is one of the stranger works to appear in recent years. Yet if we focus our attention on the book's two chapters dealing with animals, two preoccupations emerge. The first sees Coetzee use animals to evoke a particular conception of ethics, one similar to that of the philosopher Mary Midgley. Coetzee's second theme connects animals to the phenomena of scapegoating, as it has been characterized by the philosophical anthropologist René Girard. While both themes involve human (...) interactions with animals, each transcends application to that particular issue and raises deeper questions, respectively concerning the foundations of morality and the therapeutic allure of political violence. Making explicit these two preoccupations enhances our understanding of Coetzee's fiction, particularly Disgrace. However, when Coetzee's two philosophical strands are analyzed in their own terms, the ethics of sympathy is shown to be a more coherent notion than the understanding of politics he takes over from Girard.

Philosophers and Europe: M. Heidegger, G. Gadamer, J. Derrida.Francesco Tampoia - 2005 - In Centro de Estudios Europeos Actas VII Congreso 'Cultura Europea' Cizur Menor, Navarra: Thomson / Aranzadi 2005. Cizur Menor, Navarra: Thomson / Aranzadi 2005..details
In the 20th century among the greatest philosophers and literates there was an ample, ideal, wide ranging forum on the question of Europe to which, following a run already started by F. Nietzsche, M. Heidegger, E. Husserl, P. Valéry, Ortega y Gasset, Nikolaj Berdjaev, and after the second world war G. Gadamer, J. Habermas, J. Derrida and others offered meaningful contributions. The questions were: What will be of the spirit of Europe? What will be of Europe? Europe: quo vadis? The (...) aim of this paper is to articulate the meaningful stages of this historical forum through some essays of mentioned philosophers and literates. The first essay is the conference "Europa und die deutsche Philosophie", delivered by Heidegger in Rome 1936 at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut, the same year of the publication of Husserl's Krisis. Thereafter, with the purpose of marking a clear discontinuity between the debate of the first half of the century and the second, I comment on Gadamer's essay "Europa und die oikoumene", published half a century after the conference of Heidegger, then the Gadamer's essay "Das Erbe Europas", 1989, in which Gadamer deduces on the existential condition of Europeans, today. At the end, I analyze Derrida's pamphlet "L'autre cap suivi de la démocratie ajournie", English version "The Other Heading: Reflection on Today's Europe", that opens with the provocative and heretical Derridean gesture: To which concept, to what real individual, to what entity can we confer today the name of Europe?

MIT Jako Kluczowy Element Filozofii Friedricha W.J. Schellinga.Weronika Chabińska - 2012 - Folia Philosophica 30:303--327.details
F.W.J. Schelling worked on mythological issues through his entire lifetime and it had great influence on his philosophy. Unfortunately, there are very few who make a reference to Schelling while dealing with this matter, and even if they do, they mention only philosophy of revelation, which was developed in the last period of Schelling's work. Mythological issues appear in Schelling's works in reference to philosophy of nature, philosophy of identity, as well as to his historiosophy, theory of art, and theological (...) issues. The paper aims at showing that in all those areas myth was not just a minor addition to the Schelling's theory, but it played an important, often crucial role. (shrink)

J. L. Austin and Literal Meaning.Nat Hansen - unknowndetails
Alice Crary has recently developed a radical reading of J. L. Austin's philosophy of language. The central contention of Crary's reading is that Austin gives convincing reasons to reject the idea that sentences have context-invariant literal meaning. While I am in sympathy with Crary about the continuing importance of Austin's work, and I think Crary's reading is deep and interesting, I do not think literal sentence meaning is one of Austin's targets, and the arguments that Crary attributes to Austin or (...) finds Austinian in spirit do not provide convincing reasons to reject literal sentence meaning. In this paper, I challenge Crary's reading of Austin and defend the idea of literal sentence meaning. (shrink)
A Case Study on Computational Hermeneutics: E. J. Lowe's Modal Ontological Argument.David Fuenmayor & Christoph Benzmueller - manuscriptdetails
Computers may help us to better understand (not just verify) arguments. In this article we defend this claim by showcasing the application of a new, computer-assisted interpretive method to an exemplary natural-language ar- gument with strong ties to metaphysics and religion: E. J. Lowe's modern variant of St. Anselm's ontological argument for the existence of God. Our new method, which we call computational hermeneutics, has been particularly conceived for use in interactive-automated proof assistants. It aims at shedding light on the (...) meanings of words and sentences by framing their inferential role in a given argument. By employing automated theorem reasoning technology within interactive proof assistants, we are able to drastically reduce (by several orders of magnitude) the time needed to test the logical validity of an argu- ment's formalization. As a result, a new approach to logical analysis, inspired by Donald Davidson's account of radical interpretation, has been enabled. In computational hermeneutics, the utilization of automated reasoning tools ef- fectively boosts our capacity to expose the assumptions we indirectly commit ourselves to every time we engage in rational argumentation and it fosters the explicitation and revision of our concepts and commitments.

A Feminist Voice in the Enlightenment Salon: Madame de Lambert on Taste, Sensibility, and the Feminine Mind*: Katharine J. Hamerton.Katharine J. Hamerton - 2010 - Modern Intellectual History 7 (2):209-238.details
This essay demonstrates how the early Enlightenment salonnière madame de Lambert advanced a novel feminist intellectual synthesis favoring women's taste and cognition, which hybridized Cartesian and honnête thought. Disputing recent interpretations of Enlightenment salonnières that emphasize the constraints of honnêteté on their thought, and those that see Lambert's feminism as misguided in emphasizing gendered sensibility, I analyze Lambert's approach as best serving her needs as an aristocratic woman within elite salon society, and show through contextualized analysis how she deployed honnêteté (...) towards feminist ends. Additionally, the analysis of Malebranche's, Poulain de la Barre's, and Lambert's arguments about the female mind's gendered embodiment illustrates that misrepresenting Cartesianism as necessarily liberatory for women, by reducing it to a rigid substance dualism, erases from view its more complex implications for gender politics in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, especially in the honnête environment of the salons.

Courage, Cowardice, and Maher's Misstep.Brent G. Kyle - 2017 - Canadian Journal of Philosophy 47 (4):565-587.details
Could a Nazi soldier or terrorist be courageous? The Courage Problem asks us to answer this sort of question, and then to explain why people are reluctant to give this answer. The present paper sheds new light on the Courage Problem by examining a controversy sparked by Bill Maher, who claimed that the 9/11 terrorists' acts were 'not cowardly.' It is shown that Maher's controversy is fundamentally related to the Courage Problem. Then, a unified solution to both problems (...) is provided. This solution entails that gutsy people who lack good ends are not courageous. (shrink)

Ground Zero for a Post-Moral Ethics in J. M. Coetzee's Disgrace and Julia Kristeva's Melancholic.Cynthia Willett - 2012 - Continental Philosophy Review 45 (1):1-22.details
Perhaps no other novel has received as much attention from moral philosophers as South African writer J. M. Coetzee's Disgrace . The novel is ethically compelling and yet no moral theory explains its force. Despite clear Kantian moments, neither rationalism nor self-respect can account for the strange ethical task that the protagonist sets for himself. Calling himself the dog man, like the ancient Cynics, this shamelessly cynical protagonist takes his cues for ethics not from humans but from animals. He does (...) not however claim much in the way of empathy or understanding of animals, and his own odd motives remain a puzzle throughout the stages of his ethical transformation. Many scholars approach Coetzee's text through an ethics of alterity, and even argue that Disgrace is exemplary in this regard. Kristeva's rendition of alterity ethics brings us close to the novel's vision, and yet the novel points towards a more primordial basis for ethics in the search for meaning through the human encounter with other animal species.

On Herbert J. Phillips's "Why Be Rational?".Max Harris Siegel - 2015 - Ethics 125 (3):826-828,.details
In recent metaethics, moral realists have advanced a companions-in-guilt argument against moral nihilism. Proponents of this argument hold that the conclusion that there are no categorical normative reasons implies that there are no epistemic reasons. However, if there are no epistemic reasons, there are no epistemic reasons to believe nihilism. Therefore, nihilism is false or no one has epistemic reasons to believe it. While this argument is normally presented as a reply to Mackie, who introduced the term "companions-in-guilt" in his (...) Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong of 1977, Herbert J. Phillips presented a form of this argument in Ethics in 1940. In this paper, I will discuss Phillips' version of the companions-in-guilt argument, demonstrate how recent epistemology bears out an important premise of the argument, and compare Phillips' argument to Derek Parfit's recent work.

""Deus Sive Vernunft: Schelling's Transformation of Spinoza's God" in G. Anthony Bruno (Ed.), Freedom, Nature and Systematicity: Essays on F.W.J. Schelling (Oxford: Oxford University Press, Forthcoming).Yitzhak Melamed - forthcoming - In G. Anthony Bruno (ed.), Freedom, Nature and Systematicity: Essays on F.W.J. Schelling. Oxford University Press.details
On 6 January 1795, the twenty-year-old Schelling—still a student at the Tübinger Stift—wrote to his friend and former roommate, Hegel: "Now I am working on an Ethics à la Spinoza. It is designed to establish the highest principles of all philosophy, in which theoretical and practical reason are united". A month later, he announced in another letter to Hegel: "I have become a Spinozist! Don't be astonished. You will soon hear how". At this period in his philosophical development, Schelling had (...) been deeply under the spell of Fichte's new philosophy and the Wissenschaftslehre. The text Schelling was writing at the time was the early Vom Ich als Prinzip der Philosophie, though his characterization of this text would much better fit the somewhat later work which is the focus of the current paper: Schelling's 1801 Darstellung meines System der Philosophie (hereafter: Presentation). The Presentation is a text written more geometrico, following the style of Spinoza's Ethics. While Spinoza's influence and inspiration is stated explicitly and unmistakably in Schelling's preface, the content of this composition might seem quite foreign to Spinoza's philosophy, so much so, in fact, that Michael Vater—the astute translator and editor of the recent English translation of the text—has contended that "despite the formal similarities between Spinoza's geometrical method and Schelling's numbered mathematical-geometrical constructions, Schelling's direct debts to Spinoza are few". The Presentation is an extremely dense and difficult text, and while I agree that at first glance Schelling's engagement with the concept of reason (Vernunft) and the identity formula 'A=A' seems to have little if anything to do with Spinoza (especially since Spinoza's key terminology of 'God', 'causa sui', 'substance', 'attribute', and 'mode' is barely mentioned in the Presentation), I suspect that at a deeper level Schelling is attempting to transform Spinoza's system by replacing God, Spinoza's ultimate reality, with reason. Though this might at first seem bizarre, I believe it can be profitably motivated and explained upon further reflection. It is this transformation of Spinoza's God into (the early) Schelling's reason that is the primary subject of this study. I develop this paper in the following order. In the first part I provide a very brief overview of Schelling's lifelong engagement with Spinoza's philosophy, which will prepare us for my study of the 1801 Presentation. In the second part, I consider the formal structure and rhetoric of the Presentation against the background of Spinoza's Ethics, and show how Schelling regularly imitates Spinoza's tiniest rhetorical gestures. In the third and final part I turn to the opening of the Presentation, and argue that Schelling attempts there to distance himself from Fichte by developing a conception of reason as the absolute, or the identity of the subject and object, just as the thinking substance and the extended substance are identified in Spinoza's God.

(eds.). SpringerNature, Mind-Brain Studies. Dordrecht: Springer.details
Wittgenstein's concepts shed light on the phenomenon of schizophrenia in at least three different ways: with a view to empathy, scientific explanation, or philosophical clarification. I consider two different "positive" wittgensteinian accounts―Campbell's idea that delusions involve a mechanism of which different framework propositions are parts, Sass' proposal that the schizophrenic patient can be described as a solipsist, and a Rhodes' and Gipp's account, where epistemic aspects of schizophrenia are explained as failures in the ordinary background of certainties. I argue that (...) none of them amounts to empathic-phenomenological understanding, but they provide examples of how philosophical concepts can contribute to scientific explanation, and to philosophical clarification respectively.

Language as Encoding Thought Vs. Language as Medium of Thought: On the Question of J. G. Fichte's Influence on Wilhelm von Humboldt.David Vessey - 2006 - Idealistic Studies 36 (3):219-234.details
In this paper I take up the question of the possible influence of J. G. Fichte on Wilhelm von Humboldt's theory of language. I first argue that the historical record is unclear, but show that there is a deep philosophical difference between the two views and, as a result of this difference, we should conclude that the influence was small. Drawing on a distinction made by Michael Dummett, I show that Fichte understands language as encoding thought while Humboldt understands language (...) as a medium of thought. The consequences of this difference affect a wide range of issues from their views on the nature of personal pronouns, to their theories of communicative understanding, to their theories of the proper nature of inquiry into language.

This study is about Brentano's criticism of a version of phenomenalism that he calls "mental monism" and that he attributes to positivists philosophers such as Ernst Mach and John Stuart Mill. I am interested in Brentano's criticism of Stuart Mill's version of mental monism based on the idea of "permanent possibilities of sensation". Brentano claims that this form of monism is characterized by the identification of the class of physical phenomena to that of mental phenomena and it commits itself to (...) a form of idealism. Brentano argues instead for a form of indirect or hypothetical realism based on intentional correlations. (shrink)

Tolerant Imperialism: J.S. Mill's Defense of British Rule in India.Mark Tunick - 2006 - Review of Politics 68 (4):586-611.details
Some critics of Mill understand him to advocate the forced assimilation of people he regards as uncivilized, and to defend toleration and the principle of liberty only for civilized people of the West. Examination of Mill's social and political writings and practice while serving the British East India Company shows, instead, that Mill is a 'tolerant imperialist': Mill defends interference in India to promote the protection of legal rights, respect and toleration for conflicting viewpoints, and a commercial society that can (...) cope with natural threats. He does not think the principle of liberty is waived for the uncivilized, or that the West should forcibly reshape them in its own monistic image. Mill's tolerant imperialism reflects a tension between liberty and moral development that surfaces also when Mill thinks about the scope of government in civilized societies. (shrink)
"A Survey of Metaphysics" by E.J. Lowe and "Metaphysics: Contemporary Readings" Edited by Michael J. Loux. [REVIEW]Tim Crane - 2002 - The Times Higher Education Supplement 1.details
Philosophy, that most misunderstood of intellectual pursuits, is often mocked; and no part of philosophy is as often mocked as metaphysics. The image of the 'speculative metaphysician' dreaming up abstract pictures of the world has been held up for ridicule by poets, playwrights, novelists, journalists as well as by other philosophers. The Logical Positivists in the first half of the 20th Century rejected all metaphysical speculations as 'meaningless' since they could not be verified by scientific experiment; in the later part (...) of the century, Wittgenstein criticised systematic metaphysics as being a kind of intellectual disease resulting from our reading false pictures of the world into the grammar of our language. The common suspicion underlying many of these attacks is that ultimately, all metaphysics is a kind of nonsense, and that metaphysicians don't really know what they are talking about. This suspicion is not new. Nicolas-Sébastien Chamfort commented in 1796, 'I am tempted to say of metaphysicians what Scaliger used to say of the Basques: they are said to understand one another, but I don't believe a word of it.' Some contemporary philosophers may agree. (shrink)
"Overcoming Objectification: A Carnal Ethics," by Ann J. Cahill. [REVIEW]Shoshana Brassfield - 2012 - Teaching Philosophy 35 (2):217-221.details
The central argument of Ann Cahill's Overcoming Objectification is that the concept of sexual objectification should be replaced by Cahill's concept of derivatization in order to better capture the wrongness of degrading images and practices without depending on an objectionably narrow and disembodied conception of self. To derivatize someone is not to treat her as a non-person, but rather to treat her as a derivative person, reducing her to an aspect of another's being. Although not perfect, Cahill's approach advances the (...) conversation about what we should find objectionable in certain types of sexual representations and interactions by helping us to talk about sex in a way that does not start from the presupposition that physical expressions of sexuality are inherently debasing. I describe the thesis of the book, how I used it in my Philosophy and Women course, and some criticisms that I have and that arose from class discussion. (shrink)

In the last few decades, the historiographical categories rationalism and empiricism have been criticized for their limitations to explain the complex positions and the links held by the philosophers tradiotnally attached to them. This narrative was firstly conceived by Kantian German historians and began to become standard at the turn of the twentieh century. Nonetheless, nineteenth-century French historiography developed other narratives by which early modern philosophers were classified according to alternative criteria. In the first edition of Histoire comparée des systémes (...) de philosophie (1804), Joseph-Marie Degérando distinguishes three first-order early modern schools founded by Bacon, Descartes and Leibniz, respectively. Degérando introduces the empiricism and rationalism distinction as one among others, and not as the fundamental one. In addition, he separates empiricism from experimental philosophy. The last one, along with speculative philosophy, is said to conciliate senses and reason. As a result, this account offers philosophical groupings different from those constructed by the standard narrative. Furthermore, it draws on labels and classification criteria which were part of the early modern philosophical discourse. (shrink)

Oklahoma Approves Anti-Abortion Bill
On Tuesday, the Oklahoma House gave final legislative approval to a bill that would make performing an abortion a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
With little discussion and no debate, the Republican-controlled House voted 70-14 to send the bill to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who said he'd sign any anti-abortion bill that came to his desk.
The bill is one of several anti-abortion measures still alive in Oklahoma's Legislature this year, part of a trend of GOP-led states passing aggressive anti-abortion legislation as the conservative U.S. Supreme Court is considering ratcheting back abortion rights that have been in place for nearly 50 years.
The Oklahoma bill, which passed the Senate last year, makes an exception only for an abortion performed to save the mother's life, said GOP state Rep. Jim Olsen of Roland, who sponsored the bill. Under the bill, a person convicted of performing an abortion would face up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
"The penalties are for the doctor, not the woman," Olsen said.
The courts have stopped similar anti-abortion bills approved by the Oklahoma Legislature in recent years as unconstitutional.
The bill's passage came on the same day as more than 100 people attended a "Bans off Oklahoma" rally outside the Capitol in support of abortion rights.
Abortion rights advocates gather outside the Oklahoma Capitol on Tuesday, April 5, 2022, in Oklahoma City, to protest several anti-abortion bills being considered by the GOP-led Legislature.
"These legislators have continued their relentless attacks on our freedoms," said Emily Wales, interim president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Plains Votes. "These restrictions are not about improving the safety of our work. They are about shaming and stigmatizing people who need and deserve abortion access."
Wales said Planned Parenthood's abortion clinic in Oklahoma had seen an 800% increase in the number of women from Texas after that state passed the most restrictive anti-abortion law in the U.S. in decades.
The Texas law that took effect last year bans abortion once cardiac activity is detected, usually around six weeks of pregnancy, without exceptions in cases of rape or incest.
Also, Tuesday, the Oklahoma House adopted a resolution to recognize lives lost due to abortion and urge citizens to fly flags at half-staff on January 22, the day the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in its landmark 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade.
The bill follows the suit of a highly controversial Texas law taking effect last year that allows private citizens to sue anyone who performs, aids, or abets an abortion after a fetal cardiac activity is detected (usually after six weeks of pregnancy) without exceptions in cases of rape or incest.
In recent years, many U.S. states passing restrictive abortion laws have grown. Arizona and Kentucky state legislatures voted to approve a 15-week ban on abortions in the past three weeks, while Idaho Governor Brad Little signed a law that bans abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy.
The Hill report states that states like South Dakota and Tennessee have also moved legislation that aims to medication abortion, requiring women to make multiple trips to their doctor's office to receive the two-dose regimen.
The Guttmacher Institute found that approximately 862,320 abortions occurred in the United States in 2017, resulting in an abortion rate of 13.5 per 1,000 women between the ages of 15 and 44.

Q: Svg image does not show in Firefox Inside a simple SVG element I have an image.

*

*Chrome: Version 28.  - works perfect

*Firefox: 22.0 - no image is drawn

*Opera: 12.16 - image is show 4 times larger than normal

Code:

    <svg width="500px" height="500px" viewBox="0 0 70 70">
         <image x="0" y="0" width="10" height="10"
               id="knight" xlink:href="/images/knight.svg" />
    </svg>

A: Your SVG is not being scaled to fit your 10x10 image rectangle because it has no viewBox.  SVG renderers need to know the dimensions of the SVG content in order to know how to scale it. That is what the viewBox attribute is for.
Try adding the following to the root <svg> element in knight.svg.
  viewBox="0 0 45 45"

Also, you need to define your namespaces for svg and xlink. Although perhaps you have just removed those for clarity(?).

A: Your knight is 45 x 45 pixels in size. The top left corner (10 x 10) pixels is blank.
You are asking for the image to be displayed for that top left corner in the <image> markup so Firefox correctly shows nothing because there's nothing there.
If you want to see the knight, make the <image> width and height 45 to match the underlying knight.svg dimensions.
Neither Chrome nor Opera seem to display the image correctly

An 'image' element establishes a new viewport for the referenced file as described in Establishing a new viewport.  The bounds for the new viewport are defined by attributes 'x', 'y', 'width' and 'height'

The Japandroids are a two piece guitar wailing, drum pounding, singing machine, (do droids get angry when you call them machines?) and 'Lullaby Death Jams' is their recipe for a good time. It's made up of five interestingly good tracks that range from dark to darker.
The first song is the standout track with great lyrics (new ways to wear old clothes) and a greater riff. The song is titled 'darkness on the edge of gastown' and I've seen this darkness. It's called Hastings Street and it is nowhere near as alive as this tune.
The fellows have perfected the call back style of singing and it only seems appropriate, as there is only the two of them. It's like they're having a drunken conversation from either side of a rowdy rock n roll party in a small apartment on Robson Street.
The EP comes to a finish with the seven minute epic 'Lucifer's Symphony.' Listening to the lyrics "We know what you've done – There's no blood on me" even made me feel guilty for crimes I didn't commit. Maybe they know something I don't. They are after all droids.
