Anything Can Happen: Progress, Pessimism, and Stephane Moses on "The Time of Possibles"
I was raised in small town America. My family, my teachers, and my coaches always encouraged me to think in terms of progress. To be sure, my experience is not unique. Built in to American life is the belief that things can only get better; progress is inevitable. However, I also remember learning that in life anything is possible. Life is full of possibilities and I should believe that anything can happen for the better and for the worse. Judaism integrates both ideas. There is a movement towards a Messianic end, but it doesn't seem to happen in a progressive sense. Gershom Scholem, in his discussion of the Messianic, points out that, for the Utopian/Apocolyptic thinkers, the Messianic moment will, necessarily, come as a surprise. It is, as he notes, an irruption into history. And by history, he means an understanding of history that puts progress at its core.
In his book, The Angel of History: Rosenzweig, Benjamin, Scholem, Stephane Moses looks into how three Jewish-German thinkers, between the two World Wars – Franz Rosenzweig, Walter Benjamin, and Gershom Scholem – made it one of their main tasks to introduce an account of Jewish, Messianic time that would challenge the Western notion of history and progress. The purpose of this conception of time – which Moses calls a "time of possibles" – is to prompt us to think differently about our existential relationship to time. By putting more emphasis on the moment, with all of its possibilities, our sense of time, selfhood, and relationship change radically.
Moses points out how all three thinkers "presented a radical critique of historical Reason and its axioms: the idea of continuity, the idea of causality, and the idea of progress"(10). He dubs the latter an "optimistic vision of history conceived as a permanent march toward the final realization of humanity"(10). Using this term, one wonders whether the three thinkers reading of time is "pessimistic." After all, if history is not going toward an end and if, as he argues, in their work "the absurdity of every theodicy imminent in history is proclaimed," what is left over in the wake of their critique?
Moses points out that their thinking emerged in the "face of human suffering." They realized that "past suffering is not abolished even by a triumphant future, which claims to give them (these moment of suffering in history) meaning"(11). This would suggest that the remnant of this view would be a view of life as immense irredeemable suffering.
However, even though this view would expose us to such suffering and a "direct experience of historical time perceived in the qualitative difference of each instance," it "also opens toward a multiplicity of possible futures." Now, from the present, "many divergent paths can lead to different futures" and this, suggests Moses, should give us hope. However, the hope is limited because the future is unpredictable.
Although Moses notes that this reading of time "could" lead them to a "pessimistic conception of history," Moses goes on to note how it didn't. They all decided to bank on hope: "Yet, for Rosenzweig, as for Benjamin and Scholem, the end of belief in a meaning of history did not involve abolishing the idea of hope"(12). This belief opens itself up to the "advent" of "utopia" at "each moment in time."
He calls this model, which they all share, a "model of a random time" wherein the "immanent realization of the ideal becomes conceivable again." However, as Moses notes, the Messianic, whenever it entered into history "ended in bitterness and frustration." In this aside, I think there is a problem that Moses overlooks: what if the "advent" of the ideal seems immanent and people grab hold of it only to find that it fails? Won't they go from having a view of time hinged in hope to one hinged in pessimism?
Should we, rather, in the spirit of the Jewish tradition, wait for the Messianic moment rather than force it? But what does it mean that we seize on to such an advent once it, apparently, comes?
The interesting thing is that these advents come across as "ruptures" in the history of progress which, one can imagine, create crisis, fear, and pessimism not, by and large, hope in new futures and a "new time of possibles." What interests me most, in relation to these times of possibles, is the question of how to interpret them and relate to their advent. Simply thinking about them, in the general sense suggested by Moses – by way of Rosenzweig, Scholem, and Benjamin – is not enough.
Since I am very interested in the philosophy of comedy and its relation to Jewish idea of time and timing, this Moses' reflections take on another dimension for me. Because, as many Jewish comedians know, what happens…happens and when a comedian has a moment open up he or she needs to figure out how to work with it.
To be sure, Jews have, throughout history, maintained what Moses calls the "time of the possible." And have always been looking for the moment when an advent would open up a new future for the Jews. However, Jews have also learned to be careful about such moments. Relating to history and its interruptions creates a complex response for Jews – it always has – the question is always whether a moment is at hand or the effacement of possibility. Reading Moses against the grain, I'd suggest a reading of the advent in terms of a pessimistic and optimistic relation to history since the Utopian relation is something that Jews have become very careful about due to the lessons of living under Pogroms, the Holocaust, and centuries of religious hatred and anti-semitism. Jewish comedy, with its bittersweet moments, has this awareness built in.
As Motl, the main character of Sholem Aleichem's last novel – Motl, The Cantor's Son – notes, after he hears of his father's passing – a time when the future opens up to him:
Never do I remember being as special as I am now. Why am I so special? My father Peysi the cantor, as you know, died on the first day of Shevuos, and I was left an orphan.
This rupture is bittersweet. It is a day when he is "special," more special than ever; but what makes him special is that he is an orphan.

Weeknotes 3: Our first Show & Tell & time to reflect – FutureGov
8 April 2019, Written by Joanna Choukeir, Health Director, FutureGov
This week felt so rewarding for the team!
The brilliant, blended NHS Digital and FutureGov field team wrapped up engagement in East London. Over three weeks across six urgent and emergency care settings, we spoke with and shadowed nearly 60 patients and staff.
Our last setting was Homerton University Hospital, where we were impressed with how staff fully embrace digital to solve day-to-day challenges.
Overall, we're thankful to everyone who has given their time and openly shared their experiences. We want to specially thank Tower Hamlets CCG, and particularly Jenny Cook, the Deputy Director for Primary and Urgent Care; Julie Dublin, the Head of Urgent Care; and Azmi Peerun, the Transformation Manager for Primary and Urgent Care Commissioning; for trusting our approach and being open to introducing us to their networks across East and North East London. Thank you.
Almost every person we were connected with taught us something new, led us to other contacts or set up further exploration opportunity. We're very much looking forward to returning in June — once we have synthesised insights from the three locations — to share and validate findings and co-design and test emergent opportunities for digital.
The first Show & Tell
We held our first Show & Tell on Tuesday, sharing our work so far over Sprints 0 and 1. The morning was well attended and we thank everyone who made the time to be there, to show interest and share feedback.
Because we've been moving through this work at pace, we've covered a lot of ground in the last six weeks. And we have a lot to show for it.
We knew that some joining us at the Show & Tell may know more than others, so we designed the session to run with flexibility. We sectioned the content we had to share into four separate zones, inviting guests to choose two zones where they felt they knew the least about the progress. In each, we shared:
why we're taking a service design and person-centred approach
how we're framing the work
its opportunity and initial hypotheses
how we're mapping England's urgent and emergency care ecosystem
some of the things we've seen and heard from the field
Our steering group joined the Show & Tell, which we followed with our first meeting to reflect on the work so far. Together, we laid the groundwork for success as we move forward.
We discussed how insight about "what good UEC looks like" is held in lots of different places, including:
policy documents such as the NHS Long Term Plan
experienced clinicians and non-clinicians who have learned through doing
patients whose experiences have taught them what to expect and how things could have been better
providers and suppliers who have innovated with different ways of doing things over the years
Lots of people know lots of things about urgent and emergency care. Yet, there isn't one single person who can possibly see the full picture from where they're sitting with the level of complexity, diversity and variation in the system.
There's a lot of opinion over what good should look like. This recent Twitter thread is the perfect testimony to this. So, we discussed that success would be to bring all of this insight, knowledge, assumptions, and hypotheses in one place. To validate it, show the full picture of urgent and emergency care and tell an evidenced, end-to-end story, from a person-centred perspective about what the north star for digital first urgent and emergency care should feel like.
We're taking time to reflect over the next two weeks. Time to write up our notes, synthesise the data, refine our engagement approach and methods ready for our deep dive into Somerset and time to recharge over the Easter break. We're pleased that Somerset CCG is keen to collaborate on this work. We'll be starting initial conversations with local stakeholders to set the groundwork for our engagement there, starting 23 April.
Get in touch with Sophie Dennis or Joanna Choukeir if you'd like to chat through any of the work.
Weeknotes 3: Our first Show & Tell & time to reflect was originally published in FutureGov on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Le SREC, acronyme de Système de récupération de l'énergie cinétique (en anglais KERS pour ) est un système de freinage, surtout utilisé dans le monde de l'automobile. Il récupère lors des freinages une partie de l'énergie cinétique du véhicule, qui sans lui serait dissipée sous forme de chaleur dans les freins à friction. L'invention du SREC dans sa version mécanique a été revendiquée dans les années 1950 par le physicien américain Richard Feynman.

Cette énergie peut, selon les différentes technologies actuelles :
 être emmagasinée dans un volant d'inertie, solution utilisée en Formule 1 à partir de 2009,
 être transformée en air comprimé (recharge de moteur à air comprimé),
 être transformée en électricité pour être stockée dans une batterie d'accumulateurs, technique utilisée sur les véhicules électriques et les véhicules hybrides ainsi que sur les Formule 1 depuis 2011,
 être transformée en électricité pour être réinjectée dans un réseau électrique comme dans les tramways et les locomotives de chemins de fer.

L'énergie récupérée peut alors être réutilisée, soit pour la propulsion du véhicule comme c'est le cas en F1, soit pour toute autre fonction nécessitant le type d'énergie stocké par le SREC.

SREC en sports mécaniques

Formule 1

2009-2014

Le système, introduit en Formule 1 durant la saison 2009, permet une récupération d'énergie lors du freinage, que les pilotes peuvent utiliser par la suite ( maximum par tour) en poussant sur un bouton, déclenchant un afflux supplémentaire de puissance de  pendant  (ou  pendant ) dans les phases d'accélération.

Les  que délivre le SREC à chaque tour représentent l'équivalent en essence de , soit  par Grand Prix. En raison de sa masse élevée handicapant l'équilibre général des monoplaces, du coût prohibitif de son développement et de son faible rendement sur la majorité des circuits utilisés en championnat du monde, la plupart des écuries renoncèrent à l'utiliser ou à poursuivre son développement en cours de saison. Seules Ferrari et McLaren ont utilisé le système pendant la totalité de la saison.

Le , à l'occasion du Grand Prix de Hongrie, Lewis Hamilton remporte la première victoire d'une monoplace, la McLaren MP4-24, munie d'un système de récupération d'énergie et Kimi Räikkönen termine second de la course avec une Ferrari F60 également dotée du SREC. Le , à l'occasion du Grand Prix d'Europe, Hamilton réalise la première pole position d'une monoplace munie d'un système de récupération d'énergie.

Enfin, Kimi Räikkönen s'impose lors du Grand Prix de Belgique à Spa le , grâce à l'utilisation du SREC qui lui permet de dépasser la Force India de Giancarlo Fisichella en sortie de courbe à la réaccélération dans la ligne droite de Kemmel au cinquième tour puis de maintenir sa Ferrari en tête (devant une Force India plus rapide) en appuyant régulièrement et judicieusement sur le bouton lui apportant les chevaux supplémentaires, jusqu'à la fin du Grand Prix.

En 2010, bien que le SREC soit toujours autorisé par la réglementation du championnat du monde de Formule 1, la FOTA, association des écuries engagées en championnat, annonce qu'aucune équipe ne l'utilisera. Le , Jean Todt, président de la FIA, annonce le retour du SREC pour 2011. Si le système n'est toujours pas obligatoire, son utilisation est réglementairement encouragée par l'augmentation du poids minimum des monoplaces qui est relevé de  (soit ), de manière à ne plus pénaliser les constructeurs choisissant d'utiliser le SREC.

En Formule 1, il existe deux types de système de récupération de l'énergie cinétique utilisés, l'un utilisant une batterie, l'autre un volant d'inertie.

SREC par volant d'inertie
Ce système de récupération de l'énergie cinétique par volant d'inertie fonctionne de la manière suivante : un arbre de transmission solidaire du moteur thermique par l'intermédiaire d'un embrayage actionne un autre arbre. Ce dernier met en mouvement le volant d'inertie, puis l'embrayage est ouvert. Quand on veut récupérer l'énergie, on ferme l'embrayage, l'énergie stockée dans le volant d'inertie est transmise à la transmission du véhicule. Le système de SREC par volant d'inertie a donc l'avantage de ne pas avoir besoin de convertir l'énergie sous une autre forme, ce qui permet de diminuer les pertes, inévitables au moment de la conversion mécanique/électrique, mais présente l'inconvénient du poids et de l'encombrement et de pertes mécaniques non négligeables.

SREC par batterie
Le système met en jeu une conversion d'énergie. Au lieu d'actionner un volant, l'arbre moteur actionne durant les phases de freinage une « machine électrique » fonctionnant en  générateur électrique, qui convertit l'énergie mécanique en énergie électrique, laquelle est stockée dans une batterie. Quand on veut réutiliser l'énergie, la batterie fournit du courant électrique à la machine électrique fonctionnant alors en moteur. L'avantage par rapport au SREC inertiel est l'absence de recours à l'embrayage, une électronique de puissance gérant les phases de récupération et de production d'énergie ; l'inconvénient de ce système est le poids de la batterie et sa mauvaise tolérance aux charges/décharges rapides, une solution consistant à utiliser des supercondensateurs.

Depuis 2014
Depuis la saison 2014, un double système de récupération d'énergie géré par calculateur électronique et associé à des accumulateurs électriques (batterie), est monté réglementairement sur les Formule 1.

Le MGU-K, moteur électrique réversible en générateur, couplé mécaniquement à la transmission, permet de récupérer une partie de l'énergie cinétique du véhicule dissipée au freinage et, en retour, fournit un couple important en accélération.

Le MGU-H, moteur électrique réversible, est accouplé mécaniquement au turbocompresseur, ce qui permet de récupérer une partie de l'énergie des gaz d'échappement et, en retour, permet de relancer le turbocompresseur en amont des accélérations. La consommation de carburant se trouve diminuée de 35 % en 2014 par rapport à la saison précédente.

Les monoplaces, mues par un V6 d'une cylindrée d' disposent, grâce au SREC, d'une puissance totale de près de .

Motocyclisme
Lors du Grand Prix moto 2008 de Valence disputé le , l'écurie KTM a pour la première fois dans la discipline équipé une moto d'un SREC, en catégorie .

Endurance automobile
Le , à l'occasion de la course d'endurance des  de Silverstone des Le Mans Series, l'équipe Peugeot Sport dévoile sa nouvelle 908 HDI FAP Hybride munie d'un SREC. L'écurie prévoit d'engager la voiture pour la saison 2009 bien qu'elle ne soit pas autorisée à marquer des points au championnat. Début 2012, Peugeot se retire de la compétition automobile en raison de la crise économique, ce qui permet à Audi, son grand rival en endurance, ainsi qu'à Toyota, qui réintègre la compétition d'endurance, de devenir les premiers constructeurs à lancer officiellement des voitures hybrides avec pour la Audi R18 e-tron quattro un système par volant à inertie et, pour la Toyota TS030 Hybrid un système par stockage sur batterie. Audi et Toyota présentent quatre voitures (deux chacune) aux 24 Heures du Mans 2012 et Audi remportera la pole avec une des deux e-tron engagées, une première pour un véhicule hybride.

Le constructeur allemand Porsche a présenté une 911 GT3 de compétition hybride au salon automobile de Genève 2010. Celle-ci embarque, en plus de son moteur à combustion, deux moteurs électriques de  chacun, alimentés par un volant d'inertie capable de tourner à  pendant les phases de freinage. Le système pourrait fournir jusqu'à  supplémentaires pendant des périodes de 6 à . La technologie a été développée par le britannique Williams Hybrid Power, partenaire de l'écurie de Formule 1 Williams F1. La voiture a disputé les 24 Heures du Nürburgring 2010 et a dû abandonner à deux heures de l'arrivée après avoir mené l'épreuve pendant plus de quinze heures et remporté le record du tour en course.

SREC en automobile de tourisme
Certains constructeurs ont mis en place un « SREC » sur certains de leurs véhicules. Ferrari, par exemple, a utilisé un système simplifié de celui utilisé en Formule 1 pour l'installer sur la Fiorano Hy-Kers présentée au Salon de Genève 2010.

D'autres constructeurs utilisent le moteur électrique des automobiles hybrides pour emmagasiner de l'électricité dans la batteries de traction lors des phases de ralentissement-freinage ; c'est le cas de tous les véhicules équipés du système HSD de Toyota.

Les automobiles électriques utilisent leur moteur de traction  pour un freinage régénératif, accumulant dans leur batterie de traction l'électricité produite lors des phases de ralentissement.

Récupération de l'énergie au freinage sur les trains
Sur les trains et tramways à propulsion électriques, lors des phases de freinage, les moteurs peuvent être utilisés en génératrice pour récupérer une partie de l'énergie cinétique et la convertir en électricité. Plusieurs possibilités se présentent pour l'utilisation de l'énergie récupérée :
 La réinjecter sur le réseau d'alimentation  Cela nécessite, sur les locomotives à courant alternatif, que le système de redressement du courant utilisé pour la traction soit réversible et puisse être utilisé comme onduleur. Sur les lignes de transport urbains, où les arrêts sont fréquents, cela permet d'alimenter un train à proximité en phase d'accélération. En revanche, en l'absence de train accélérant à proximité, l'apport d'énergie sur le réseau d'alimentation peut générer des pics de tension sur la ligne.
 La renvoyer via le réseau d'alimentation à une installation fixe  qui la redistribuera ultérieurement en fonction des besoins ;
 La stocker à bord du train  à l'aide d'un dispositif d'accumulation d'énergie, pour l'utiliser ultérieurement pour la traction. Ceci présente l'avantage de permettre le franchissement de sections non alimentées en énergie voire de ne recharger les batteries d'un tramway, par exemple, que lors de l'arrêt aux stations.

En région parisienne, le métro ligne 14 (Saint-Lazare - Mairie-de-Saint-Ouen) récupère l'énergie de freinage. Des gains de 20% sur la consommation d'énergie sont attendus.

En Belgique, certaines locomotives de la SNCB (fonctionnant en  courant continu) et tous les véhicules du métro de Bruxelles (alimentés en  CC) récupèrent l'énergie de freinage en la réinjectant sur le réseau.

Autres
Audi travaille sur un système de récupération de l'énergie cinétique de translation due aux mouvements verticaux. Le mouvement de translation au droit de la suspension des roues est transformé en un mouvement de rotation couplé à un moteur électrique. La puissance de récupération serait de 100 à 150 W en moyenne.

Pictures from the Long Haul:
Sunrise on Lake Michigan,
Lake Forest, Illinois, 1961
In Chicago I am introduced to Polish sausages at a hot dog stand on North Avenue by Bill "Notso" Smart, who also took me to a strip club in Calumet City. I visit the Art Institute and I start going to jazz and blues clubs on the South Side.
By Michael James | The Rag Blog | July 14, 2013
[In this series, Michael James is sharing images from his rich past, accompanied by reflections about — and inspired by — those images. This photo will be included in his forthcoming book, Michael Gaylord James' Pictures from the Long Haul.]
There I was 33 miles outside Chicago, learning, meeting, hearing, and seeing so many new things. Yet the most dominant theme-issue-memory of my first year at Lake Forest College is of being 948 miles away from my girlfriend Susan who was at U Conn — not Siberia, but seemingly so.
I too wanted to go to U Conn, but my dad encouraged (forced) me to go to "away to school," away from my Connecticut homeland. His influence is why I had driven to California in the summer of 60, instead of staying home close to my team dream girlfriend.
We called each other regularly; we wrote each other almost daily, and to this day I have a giant envelope of letters Sue returned many moons back. Someday I may read them.
The Phi Deltas got me a job washing dishes at Lake Forest Academy, a private school for bourgeois lads. This was where influential trumpeter and jazz legend Bix Beiderbecke had been sent off to school from Davenport back in the 1920's, and from where he snuck out of to go to Chicago to make music.
And on another musical note, the Academy was not far from a bar out on Illinois Route176 that older guys on the football team took me to. A Black woman performer sang a song with the unforgettable line "who put the sand in the petroleum jelly?"
Later I took a job as an assistant counselor at Arden Shore, a home for gifted boys with behavioral and emotional problems. My dormmate was David George, an ex-Marine from a pottery making family in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. He helps me get over my dislike of cheese, and we make many a grilled cheese sandwiche late at night in the cafeteria. And he teaches me to drink my coffee black.
In search of a gym off campus I make my way north, past the Great Lakes Navel Training Center (years later I'll help organize a demonstration at a park nearby, SOS — Stop our Ships, Save Our Sailors!). I go past Abbott Labs in North Chicago (an incubator for high drug prices) ending up at the Waukegan YMCA.
I am a product of YMCA activities. I have a letter of introduction from the Director of my hometown Y. I will do a sociology paper at LFC on the YMCA as and Occupational Institution.
Ahh, but the Waukegan YMCA is segregated. I check out and then get a part time job instructing weight lifting and working with little kids at the all-Black (except now for me) Genesee Street Branch YMCA in North Chicago.
Venturing further off campus I go to the Friday afternoon cattle auctions further west out on Route 176, and join others on a run to Madison where we drink beers in the Student Union. I head to Grinnell, Iowa, and visit my hometown friend and writer Ken Schiff during a folk fest at Grinnell College. I remember the legendary "Blind" Reverend Gary Davis pinching a coed's ass.
There was the Wonder Inn where wordsmith Ken Nordine performed his "word jazz," and the Sutherland Lounge where I am thrilled by the likes of Sonny Stitt, Gene Ammons, and the amazing Roland Kirk who played multiple instruments at once, including strange saxophones, the stritch, and the manzello.
Reading Downbeat Magazine I learn of "Crow Jim," reverse segregation in jazz circles. The article says that the phenomenal Ira Sullivan, who played with Charlie Parker, cannot get a gig. I start working on a sociology paper: "The Socialization of the Negro Jazz Musician."
On a Saturday on Chicago's Near North Side I talk with Sullivan at his home. I am still in a time in my life where you dress up and I am wearing a sport jacket and tie. Sullivan seemed preoccupied, and he and others were probably high. I asked questions; he did not bad mouth any Black brothers, basically dismissing the issue.
At McKey Fitzhugh's Disc Jockey Show lounge on Cottage Grove I try and talk with drummer Chico Hamilton, who basically laughed me off. (I still play his music.) At another club I met Johnny Hartman who would later sing beautiful vocals with John Coltrane.
The U.S. Marine recruiters show up on campus. I wanted to be a Marine, years earlier practicing crawling around on my stomach in kid war games, and learned to play "From the Halls of Montezuma" on the piano. I signed up for their Platoon Leader's Corp, the plan being that I would spend summers training at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina and then serve two years as an officer in that fighting force.
However, an event on campus began to move me in another direction. There was something going on in the World called the San Francisco to Moscow Peace March. The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), an outfit that I was being introduced to while checking out religion (Unitarians, Bahia, Quakers, etc.), sponsored a two-day peace walk in March of 1961.
A scraggly band of beatnik types showed up on campus, and I talked with them about peace and atomic testing. I credit this encounter with encouraging me to move in a new direction. I never did follow through and become a member of the Marine Corps and I am grateful for that.
I was still missing Susan and began trying to transfer to a school back East. She came to visit and I was happy. I photographed her smoking a cigar on the same morning we attended an Easter morning sunrise service at the Lake Forest beach.
Yet when I visited her a short time later in Storrs, Connecticut, that was not fun. She was becoming friendly with my childhood pal Doug Fenton's roommate. I took solace in following my 4H club instincts, visiting the campus's dairy barns.
Another major and transformational shift-event in my life was about to take place.

While fear suppresses talk about dying, marriage equality involves sex.
AAP/Danny Casey
Julian Savulescu, University of Oxford
The Greek philosopher Epicurus wrote:
Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.
We are in the midst of two great ethical debates: marriage equality and assisted dying. The results of the marriage equality postal survey will be announced on November 15; meanwhile, the Victorian parliament is this week debating a new law to allow doctor-assisted dying in the last year of life.
What is striking is the volume of the respective public debates. Everyone is talking about marriage equality; very few are discussing assisted dying.
Given that the ethics of assisted dying are more complex than marriage equality, and what happens in Victoria is likely to provide a template for other states, why is it receiving so much less attention?
How fear of death affects public debate
Public ethical debates are fuelled by emotion and psychological biases on both sides. In the case of assisted dying, most of us are not like Epicurus: we fear death. We hate talking about it.
Despite the fact that polls show that 73% of Australians favour assisted dying, it is not clear whether the legislation will pass, although the mood seems to be leaning slightly in favour: 40 out of 87 MPs in the Legislative Assembly told the Herald Sun they would vote yes.
Further reading: As Victorian MPs debate assisted dying, it is vital they examine the evidence, not just the rhetoric
So, there should be an enormous impetus to show MPs the level of public support. But it has been rather muted. Perhaps for similar reasons we post photos of weddings on Facebook, but not funerals: both are important, but only one makes good dinner party conversation.
Terror management theory, evolution and social signalling
Our fear of death might even be linked to our love of marriage, according to terror management theory (TMT). Neuroscientist Claudia Aguirre writes:
When we're faced with the idea of death, people defensively turn to things they believe will shield them from death, literal or otherwise. Thinking about death also motivates people to indiscriminately uphold and defend their cultural world views, whatever those may be.
TMT has been linked to our development of regulation and rituals around sex.
In evolutionary terms, sex is more important than death, which is one of the reasons marriage equality provokes such heated debate.
So, a fundamental commitment to marriage being between a man and a woman may be more of an immovable foundation on which group membership is based to guard against our shared fear of death than an ethical position that can be defended or rebutted on rational grounds.
While fear suppresses talk about dying, marriage equality involves sex. People are intensely interested in love and sex. And sex has been more important than death in evolutionary terms.
As evolved animals, we were only here to survive long enough to reproduce. Reproduction is evolution's goal, and so practices around its rituals and norms are hugely important in evolutionary and religious terms.
Religions and societies seek to control reproduction. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, sex was to occur within marriage between one man and one woman. Death at an old age is of much less evolutionary significance.
Further reading: To Christians arguing 'no' on marriage equality: the Bible is not decisive
We are social animals, motivated to support our in-group and reject out-group members. Tribalism can help explain our devotion to football teams, for example. We have developed social signalling to show our group which side we are on and maintain trust.
Add to that a status quo bias, and public debates where the topic in question is seen to express something foundational about ourselves can become little more than cheering for our own team.
Anchoring is a psychological bias that means we evaluate how good or bad something is relative to the anchor of existing examples.
In the UK, the 2013 same-sex marriage legislation was fairly uncontroversial. One reason could be that civil partnerships – same-sex marriage in all but name – were created back in 2004. Each step in the UK's progress towards marriage equality was a short step from the previous state of being.
In contrast, the Australian campaign against same-sex marriage portrays the choice as a paradigm shift in our culture, extending far beyond marriage. Former prime minister Tony Abbott linked the debate to political correctness, gender fluidity and even the date of Australia Day, saying:
This isn't just about marriage … there are lots and lots of implications here and we've got to think them through before we take this big leap into … the dark.
A better approach
For assisted dying to be an appropriate activity for medicine, we should show that death can be an appropriate therapeutic end and in a patient's best interests. That is, that their life is no longer worth living.
That is an extremely difficult case to prove, and I haven't seen any good arguments for how to evaluate that. Why wouldn't we just go on what a competent person says? If a suffering person believes they're better off dead, they're probably right.
But here is another way to think about it. The Victorian legislation will provide assistance only to those in the last year of life from a physical illness. They are effectively in the process of dying.
While palliative care may be able to control pain and suffering, it cannot do everything.
One major objection to the assisted dying bill is that we don't need it because good palliative care is sufficient. Relief of suffering is very important, and more should be spent on end-of-life planning and palliative care.
But this objection is complicated for several reasons. If palliative care is outstanding, people won't request assistance in dying. So there is no need to ban it.
More importantly, while palliative care may be able to control pain and suffering, it cannot do everything.
Together with colleagues at Barwon Health and Oxford University, we surveyed 382 people from the general population and 100 attendees at an advance care planning clinic, where people think about and express their values relating to end-of-life care. We didn't ask them about assisted dying, but we did ask them to rank four factors at the end of life: pain relief, dignity, independence and living as long as possible.
The highest proportion of both groups ranked the relief of pain and suffering as the most important value, followed by maintaining dignity and remaining independent.
Living as long as possible was ranked as most important by the lowest proportion of participants – only 4% of palliative care patients and 2.6% of the general population (30–35% regarded this as either not important or not very important).
People care not only about pain relief, but also about dignity and independence at the end of life. These are much more subjective and less amenable to control by palliative care. So while palliative care can address part of what people care about, it may not be able to address all their values.
Moreover, people can already shorten their lives by more than a year for any medical condition, or no medical condition at all, by refusing to eat and drink by mouth. It takes around ten days to die of thirst. Such people could be given palliative care to relieve their suffering during this period of suicide.
But surely the Victorian law offers a better way to die? As with the palliative care, this kind of death does not provide the dignified death, or the independence, that people value.
As distressing as public debate on heartfelt, emotive issues like assisted dying and marriage equality can be, it is an important collective exercise. Like many other people, I thought the marriage equality survey was a waste of money. But on reflection, this idea maybe misplaced. When the views of one part of the community are deemed politically incorrect and suppressed, they foment, then erupt in a Brexit or a Trump.
Debate is vitally important to democracy. What we should hope is that people engage in these debates with their heads, not their hearts. It will take considerable effort on both sides to overcome the psychological obstacles to finding the most fair and reasonable policy.
As Epicurus also said:
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.

A Good Man(ager) Is Hard to Find: Here's How to Find the Right One for You and Your Multifamily Property
For someone investing in a multifamily property, it is a key question: You need someone to manage that property, but how do you find the right person or management company? You must be able to trust them to keep your best interests at heart, collect rent, maintain the place and stay in touch with you — whether you are across the country from one another or on the other side of town.
First, ask yourself what level of management you're looking for. Will you be around and willing to be i
How to Market Your Multifamily Property
Once upon a time properties for rent or sale were advertised in magazines or special newspaper sections in the hope that someone would pick one up, find something they liked, maybe figure out how to drive by the property and then call an agent. Obviously, online marketing has transformed the way consumers interact with real estate, and certain expectations have arisen when it comes to renting in your multifamily property.
An up-to-date, attractive website is a must, but now data that
Building a Community, Not Just a Property: Yes, It Can Be Done
With the dramatic rise in multi-family rentals in the United States, tenant retention depends largely on them feeling part of a community. When tenants have a sense of belonging, occupancy has been shown to increase. Millennials and empty nesters make up the majority of multifamily renters and buyers, making landlords, developers, investors, and builders hustling to cater to their specific needs and desires. The extra bells and whistles in multi-family buildings have shown a high return on in
Secondary, Tertiary Markets Are of Prime Appeal
If any real estate trend has become obvious in recent years, it is this: Things are happening in the secondary and tertiary markets. Big things.
That's where the jobs are and where the cost of living is most favorable — and where, as a result, people are going and the need for housing is most acute.
No longer are businesses locked into big cities. Such places are less and less affordable, and in an online economy companies are increasingly looking toward the hinterlands.
Tech's Continuing Impact on Multifamily Properties
Real estate is a Goliath, the largest asset class in the world. Yet for a very long time it failed to measure up to other industries in one very significant way — an embrace of technology.
That has begun to change, with one of the more recent signs of that the decision in November 2018 by five major multifamily real estate investment trusts to put $108 million into a venture capital fund, Real Estate Technology Ventures I, that promises to invest in "disruptive real estate technology
Landscaping: Fertile Ground for Adding Value to Your Property
There are many ways to add value to an existing property, and one of the best is to invest in professional landscaping. A coveted multi-family property has curb appeal, meaning residents should feel a sense of pride as they approach the entrance. It also boasts top-notch outdoor accommodations, a green mentality and an attentive staff focused on regular landscape maintenance.
Statistics on landscaping return on investment (ROI) vary widely, from 100 percent to 1,000 pe
Rehabbing is all the Rage
Never before has there been a greater demand for housing — especially affordable housing. Michael Hobbes, writing for Huffpost.com in June 2018, cited the grim numbers in a report from the Joint Center For Housing Studies at Harvard University and concluded that the housing crisis is "a ticking time bomb at the heart of the American economy."
He went on to point out that the pinch is being felt across the board — that homeowners have seen their earnings increase 50 percent since 1960,
Flipping is Often a Flop
It looks so easy on TV: Someone buys a distressed real estate property, invests in repairs and upgrades, then re-sells it — and quickly! — for a handsome profit.
If only life imitated art.
While the multitude of television shows about house-flipping led to a bevy of that sort of activity in real life — over 200,000 homes were flipped in the United States in 2016, and again in '17 — the reality is that it isn't as easy as it might appear.
Consider, for example, the plig
Attracting Tenant-Buyers With Augmented Reality
When home ownership is a dream but not a reality for your potential clients, there is a way to keep their business. The happy medium between renting and owning is to be a tenant buyer. These types of occupants rent properties that eventually they'd like to own. While renting, tenants can reside in the property and can secure it for future purchase once they are ready for a mortgage, with a percentage of their monthly rent going towards their eventual purchase.

Delay Game: How a Labor Shortage Is Affecting Construction
There are, increasingly, construction projects to be done, and not enough workers to do them.
According to US News & World Report, some 225,000 projects were undertaken across the U.S. each month in early 2018, but a whopping 91 percent of the contractors who undertook them said they lacked sufficient manpower.

3-color image of the region surrounding the W28 supernova remnant; in particular the northern half of the shell is clearly outlined in Very Large Array (VLA) 90 cm radio emission (blue), indicative of non-thermal radition sources. Red shows MSX 8 micron infrared data, and green the Southern Galactic Plane Survey + VLA 20 cm radio data. The W28 remnant, at a distance of 2 to 3 kpc, is believed to be 35000 to 150000 years old (Kaspi et al., 1993). The more compact objects north and south of W28 are HII regions not directly related to the remnant. Image courtesy of NRAO/AUI and Brogan et al., NRAO Image Gallery; see also Brogan et al., 2006. See here for a version of the image where objects are labeled.
It is a long-held idea that supernova remnants are acceleration sites for nucleonic cosmic rays. Indeed supernova shells are clearly seen as sources of high energy gamma rays (SOM 1/2005, SOM 3/2005), but for remnants such as RX J1713.7-3946 or RX J0852.0-4622 it is hard to prove that the observed gamma rays originate from primary accelerated nuclei as opposed to electrons. In other words, while supernova remnants are without doubt cosmic particle accelerators, we are not sure if they really accelerate the atomic nuclei which make up most of the cosmic rays. One approach to this problem is to study old (>> 10000 years) remnants. In old remnants, electron acceleration to multi-TeV energies is predicted to be very inefficient because electrons lose their energy faster by synchrotron radiation than they gain energy from acceleration in the shock (Yamazaki et al. 2006). Another solution is to look at remnants interacting with molecular clouds, where cosmic-ray nuclei find efficient targets to generate gamma rays, with the gamma-ray flux tracing the clouds. In either case nucleonic particles could be the dominant source of VHE gamma radiation.
The W28 remnant (top image) fits both requirements. It is rather old - maybe 35000 to 150000 years - and in particular at its northern and northeastern boundaries it is propagating into dense clouds. The gas in the region shows clear signs of interaction with the supernova shock wave, such as 1720 MHz OH masers (e.g. Claussen et al. 1999) and high-density shocked gas (e.g. Reach et al. 2005). A total of 42 hours of H.E.S.S. observations of W28 reveal a complex pattern of gamma-ray sources (Fig. 1) : a northern source with a significance close to 8 sigma coincides with part of the radio-bright region of the remnant (Fig. 2). In the south, a few tenths of a degree beyond the apparent rim of the remnant, there extends a complex of sources, with about 10 sigma significance, and indications of a three-peak structure. The detailed morphology of this source complex is still under investigation. All source regions exhibit power law spectra with spectral indices similar to those of other galactic sources (~2.5) and flux values at a level of few percent of the Crab flux.
The structures seen in very high energy gamma rays correlate to a large extent - but not perfectly - with the distribution of molecular gas as seen in the NANTAN CO survey of the region (Fig. 3). The east and central peaks of the southern emission region line up very well with HII regions seen in the MSX infrared image (top figure, and stars in Fig. 2). This suggests that the W28 remnant may serve as a cosmic-ray accelerator, illuminating the gas clouds, similar to the situation near the Galactic center (SOM 3/2006). Assuming gas densities around 104/cm3, an energy content in cosmic rays of order 1048 ergs is required to account for the gamma-ray flux, well within the range of numbers typically assumed for supernova explosions. In addition, the star-forming HII regions with hot stars may contain cosmic particle accelerators, akin to the situation in Westerlund 2 (SOM 12/2006).
Fig. 1: H.E.S.S. gamma ray sky map of the W28 region (preliminary). Colors give gamma-ray intensity (events/hr); the map is smoothed. Green contour lines show the 4, 5 and 6 sigma contours for the gamma-ray signal, integrating gamma-ray counts over a radius of 0.1 degr. The north source contains about 280 gamma rays, the south complex about 650 alltogether. The dashed circle indicates the radio boundary of the W28 remnant. The stars show locations of H II regions, see also top image.

Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban confirmed as American Idol judges. And Randy Jackson just won't quit.
As predicted, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban (he was a bit of a surprise) have been confirmed as new American Idol judges.
The Super Bass hitmaker and the country singer - who recently quit the Australian version of The Voice for some unknown reason - will join fellow newcomer Mariah Carey and loooooooooooooooooooooong-serving panellist Randy 'You'll Never Get Me Out of Here Alive' Jackson on the talent show, and Keith is 'so excited' to have landed the role.
To confirm his excitement, he wrote on twitter: "SO excited to be joining the team on @AmericanIdol!!!!!! - KU#idoljudges (sic)"
Host Ryan Seacrest also took to the social networking site to confirm the four judges will be on the panel for the forthcoming 12th season of the show: "It's official! Your Season 12 Idol judges are Mariah Carey, Randy Jackson, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban. Meet the judges (sic)"
Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment (seriously) for Fox, believes the talent show has recruited one of the "most exciting judging panels around" for the forthcoming season - which is due to air in January - after Nicki and Keith replaced outgoing judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.
Randy - who has been a judge on the programme since it began in 2002 - signed a new deal to remain on the show after talks with Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias broke down. Thanks Enrique.
But former Idol judge Simon Cowell has insisted keeping Randy on was a good thing, what with him tweeting: "Just heard Randy is back on Idol. Right decision." This coming from the man who's kept Louis Walsh on television for a decade.

Q: Adding if-else Logic to My Applescript (depending on whether a FIND gets a match) I've got an applescript that does lots of text manipulation, then searches for a text string, selects that text string,  runs a python script on the selection, inserts the output, and selects and copies that output. Then the applescript procedes with more actions.
Problem: the text string searched for and operated on by that Python script isn't always present. If not, I'd want it to jump past the python part and resume the rest of my applescript.
Here's the salient part of the script, below. I'll start out with the final action of my AppleScript before the Python script cuts in:
replace "Claimed" using "" searching in text 1 of text document 1 options {starting at top:true, case sensitive:true}

#here is where my script searches for the text string  the Python script will operate on (and which may NOT be present):

find "^Mon .+" searching in text 1 of text document 1 options {search mode:grep, wrap around:true, case sensitive:true} with selecting match

#here's the python part (which shouldn't be triggered if the string, above, isn't found):

set unprocessed to contents of selection

set processed to (do shell script ("python ~/Library/Scripts/yelpmanip.py '" & unprocessed & "'"))

set contents of selection to processed

copy selection

#If python script didn't run, I'd want to resume below:

find "events" searching in text 1 of text document 1 options {search mode:grep, wrap around:true} with selecting match

tell application "System Events" to key code 126 using {shift down, command down}
#etc etc
end tell

It's for good reason that aiding Kurds in and around Iraq is among the only bipartisan goals on America's foreign policy agenda
One of the few foreign-policy priorities on which Republicans and Democrats can agree these days is the importance of aiding Kurds in and around Iraq. The White House is working openly with Syrian Kurds whose political roots go back to Kurdish separatists in Turkey. Members of both parties support legislation to directly arm the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq. Even Donald Trump has spared a kind word for them.
The U.S. relationship with Kurds hasn't always been so warm. In 1975, the CIA cut off covert aid to the Iraqi Kurds at the request of the shah of Iran, leaving them to be slaughtered by Iraqi forces. President Ronald Reagan turned a blind eye in 1988 when Saddam Hussein attacked Kurdish villages with nerve gas. President George H.W. Bush was slow to respond when Saddam attacked the Kurds again in 1991 after a U.S.-led coalition drove invading Iraqis out of Kuwait.
But the elder Bush did not just continue his predecessor's indifference to the plight of Kurds. In the spring and summer of 1991 -- fearing a repeat of the 1988 genocide of Iraqi Kurds known as the Anfal campaign -- President Bush authorized the rescue of half a million Kurds who had fled Saddam's army for Turkey and Iran. By the end of the summer, the U.S. was patrolling the skies of northern Iraq, creating the no-fly zone that continued until the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
On Monday, the Middle East Institute held a symposium with many of the generals and diplomats who carried out this mission. The symposium marked the 25th anniversary of what at first was called Provide Comfort, and later Northern Watch.
It turns out these people didn't really know what they were doing. Retired General Anthony Zinni, who was the chief of staff to Operation Provide Comfort, said the coalition forces brought together for the first mission to return the Kurdish refugees to their villages were a "pick-up team." He said there were no military plans for how to respond to a refugee crisis after Kuwait was liberated in 1991. He described the command relationships between officers and soldiers as "creative."
Andrew Natsios, who headed the U.S. Agency for International Development's Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, said that when he was first asked to assemble the teams to go to northern Iraq, he didn't have anyone. The "disaster assistance response teams" were already deployed to Ethiopia, southern Africa and other locations, so he needed to improvise. He brought on a renowned disaster-relief specialist, Fred Cuny, who devised a plan: to have Kurdish elders return at first to their villages and then get word to the rest of the dispersed villagers that they could safely return.
Natsios recounts reading in the Washington Post an interview Cuny gave where he said the U.S. planned to create a "no-fly zone." The only problem, Natsios said, was that this was the first he had heard of it. He said he was convinced he would be fired for it, but it turned out that within 24 hours, the White House agreed.
In the first months of Operation Provide Comfort, Zinni said he knew the Iraqi forces out-numbered him. So he was pleased that General Jay Garner "did his best Clint Eastwood impression" and bluffed. Garner said he told an Iraqi general that if they attacked Kurdish civilians again, the U.S. military would "kill every last one of them." The bluff worked.
This mix of improvisation and frantic activity turns out to be a hinge moment in modern Middle East history.
First, the no-fly zone that the U.S. military established gave the Kurds the space to create their own regional government. Today the seat of that government in Erbil resembles a national capital. Passports are stamped at the airport. Taxes are collected. As Falah Mustafa Bakir, the head of the regional government's department of foreign relations, told me Monday with some pride, there are now 35 foreign missions to Erbil, including representatives of all five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council. "We could have never imagined we would be here 25 years ago," he said.
That is an understatement. In 1991, Iraq's Kurds were in danger of becoming permanent refugees. Today, they are closing in on becoming a state of their own.
Second, the no-fly zones that Bush created in the south and north of Iraq in many ways set the stage for the U.S. intervention in Iraq in 2003. As the late Christopher Hitchens would remind readers in the run-up to that war, the U.S. was already intervening in Iraq by protecting Saddam's primary ethnic victims, the Kurds and Iraqi Shiites. This bit of history helps explain why Bill Clinton, who continued the policy of the no-fly zones, ended up supporting the 2003 war. Familiarity with this commitment may also have influenced Hillary Clinton's vote for the war when she was a senator from New York.
It also explains why Zinni, who helped create the no-fly zone over northern Iraq, is so cautious about doing the same thing elsewhere. "I've been hearing a lot about setting up no-fly zones in Syria," he said Monday. "What I'd say is you can't get a little bit pregnant; once you are in, you own what is under it."
Many Americans today wish the U.S. had never taken ownership of Iraq. But many also make the mistake of thinking that the U.S. signed that deed of purchase with the 2003 war. In fact the down payment was made with a haphazard operation to rescue half a million Kurds, and it began 25 years ago.

First Person Arts, an organization that explores memoir and documentary art, prototyped a project which brought together diverse groups of people to create "museum exhibitions" documenting their lives. These projects were comprised of objects owned and cherished by the participants, stories about these objects, and interpretation that examined people's relationships to material objects in cultural and historical contexts. The exhibits were created, designed, and developed by the participants, and First Person Arts also worked with a team that included historians, museum specialists, a writer, a photographer, and a documentary filmmaker.


In particular, the cloud can be used to make your business much more mobile, scalable, and dynamic with enhanced features and more choices than ever before.
The cloud can help your business' employees be much more flexible with the devices that they can work with. For example, let's say that your employees have a Voice over IP application on their desktop and their mobile device. It can be used either with a headset on-site, or on the phone like a traditional handset. This kind of choice empowers employees to test the boundaries of the workplace and be as productive as possible wherever (and whenever) they happen to be.
The cloud allows you to easily control how many employees have access to a software or piece of data that's stored in the cloud. For example, in the above scenario with Voice over IP, you might have ten employees at first. Before you know it, you're starting to experience growth. You have to hire new employees to handle the workload, but the traditional office space would require wires and handsets for each new number. You can instead simply make an account and add a user, eliminating one of the many roadblocks.
The cloud can give your business the boost it needs through the use of additional features in your cloud-based applications. For example, in regards to Voice over IP, you can take advantage of all of the traditional features of voice calling in addition to more modern communication techniques, such as instant messaging, video conferencing, and so on.
Depending on the kind of business you run, a public or private cloud solution will be preferable. If you don't mind having your data be on a shared cloud infrastructure, then public is a fine way to approach cloud computing. If you'd like more control over your cloud solution, then a private cloud hosted on your own in-house infrastructure can offer more enhanced security and functionality at the expense of having an in-house IT department managing it.
Of course, the option for a hybrid solution that allows for both high customization and lesser responsibilities on your part can be quite helpful for your organization--particularly if you don't have an in-house IT department.

For the longest time I've wanted to make a mix that includes limited mainstream music… well – the time has finally come. This mix contains some of my favorite genres of house music – what I like to call "house lite." This lounge/house music still has hard hitting beats, but ones you will probably won't hear too often at a club. As a music lover and DJ, I find it very important to discover new AND different music. Enjoy some of these hidden treasures in my new mix – Beat Boutique (part of an ongoing compilation).

Q: Wordpress: Display media files on a page based on logged in user I have a code that displays entire media library files on a page. I want to achieve functionality to display the media files only to users who are currently logged in and the files they have uploaded.
If the user did not upload the file it should simply say no file uploaded.

Discussion in 'Tomato Firmware' started by tdotnico, Feb 6, 2019.
I have an R7000 at home which I recently rolled back to stock Netgear, then went back to Tomato 3.5 140. I used to have it with a freshtomato firmware but the wifi would drop here and there and it was driving me crazy.
Now I have come across something very strange. With the stock tomato firmware I have no issues with wifi, but my internet speed is limited to 350/350 (buffers +-), and this only happens with the Tomato 3.5 140 firmware.
I had freshtomato firmware last week, and it was pushing a solid 550/550. I'm supposed to get 500/500 since I am with Bell (Ontario, Canada).
They always give you a little more speed; I believe they use a technology called packet shaping, because we actually get full 1gbps straight to the fiber terminal in my apartment.
Nothing fancy; no changes made to the stock config aside from Setting my PPPoE login credentials, keep alive instead of on demand, setup my wireless SSID's, password etc, and set VLAN2 ID to 35 and WAN port tagged in there as well.
Everything else has been left untouched, no monitoring, no QoS, etc, nothing fancy as I said there is only 3 people in my home and I want to get back my 550/550 since I make the most use of it with my wired desktop when uploading media.
Any insights would be very helpful, but please keep in mind that I don't want to switch to another firmware, this one at least is giving the most reliability with the WIFI services.
tomato you can enable CTF (cut through forwarding) and get all of your speed.
Hi, thanks for your reply. Where would I find CTF setting's page?
I found it! Thanks, that was it!


The verb is followed by a clause beginning with as if, as though, or like.
It looks as if there would be a rebellion.
It seemed like his dream had come true.
It sounds as though she is leading an invalid life.
Verbs with this pattern are concerned with what a situation seems or feels like. They are all link verbs (see Chapter 5).
There was smoke coming up at the bottom of the hill. It appeared as if there had been a bonfire or something.
Chess experts are awe-struck by Fischer's play. It is as if he had never stopped playing chess.
The band played. It felt like the room was a moving vehicle and had just crashed up against a wall of sound.

"Many girls and women do not pursue these fields because no one ever told them that they have potential to do well in nontraditional fields." This is a quote from Janet Ruth Heller, Ph.D. dominating parties that ran, the Liberals and Conservatives. Remember: This is just a sample from a fellow student. For these reasons, the lack of jobs, mental health declines, and increase of debt prove that Canada is not a better country that it had been. 2020 © ca.papersowl.com. The survey found that 25% of Canadians do not have enough funds for an escape vacation; 20% have credit card balances larger than their savings account; 21% believe they overspend during the holidays. The Northern Québec Agreement was the first treaty signed with Aboriginals in over fifty years. Don't waste time. this essay is not unique. I do not believe that Canada is a better country now than it was in the past because of the staggering treatment of Canadian women. The unfortunate students that had to attend residential schools rarely had any opportunities to see examples of normal family life. There are many things wrong in the world of women. It is very hard to behave like born and raised as Canadians for people from different countries, cultures and with different backgrounds. we can write an original essay just for you. How First Ministers, Throughout the years, Canada has grown and matured as a country. It was in 1984, February and May, that the third and fourth generating stations were completed. The Healthcare Act of 1984 aimed to ensure that all residents of Canada have access to necessary hospital and physician services based on five principles: universality, portability, public administration, accessibility, and comprehensiveness. Women and First Nations have not been treated as equal humans, in the past and certainly not now. When the James Bay Project was announced by the Québec Premier, Robert Bourassa, it was opposed by the Cree, who had prior not been notified. Phase 1 of the James Bay Project had cost $13.7 billion and necessitated massive diversions of the water from the Eastmain, Opinaca and Caniapiscau rivers into dammed reservoirs on La Grande Rivière. Men get rewarded for being a good and strong leader, while women get looked at as bossy. Over 80% of sex crime victims are women. In 1971 Hydro-Québec and the Québec government initiated the James Bay Project. strengthen and challenge Canadian identity. 80% of sexual assault incidents occur in the home. Life Expectancy is the most important reason that makes Canada a good. Brothers and sisters were being taught at the same school rarely saw each other, as all activities were segregated by gender. All rights reserved This is the fastest growth rate for any age group. The Canadian Residential schools provided for a loss of a culture. Rewinding back to the early and mid 1900, Canada was known as a racist country; however after WWII, it started to reduce the racism, sexism, and hatred against non-white Races. In the US, a larger amount of federal taxes go toward the department of defense and there is an overall greater emphasis on military power while in Canada a greater amount of federal funds are allocated toward socialized healthcare. Over the duration of two phases Hydro-Québec and the Québec government built eight generating stations. My first reason for the poor future of our generations is debt. Canada use different spelling for words that contain an 'or' sound: colour, favourite, labour. These effects are still being felt today. The Millennials and the Generation X are at an unfair disadvantage for the future. Along with the languages spoken, come the differences in dialects, accents and slang relative to the English spoken in each country. Canada and the United States political ideologies contrast with greater emphasis on different portions of governmental influence. The James Bay Project is a hydroelectric-power development on the East Coast of James Bay. The holiday celebrates the harvests and blessings of the past year and is celebrate earlier because of Canada's shorter growing season and earlier harvest. And the statistics are worse for women who are at the intersection of multiple forms of discrimination, like women of color, transgender women, and women with disabilities. Ice is a larger part of the Canadian landscape with the permafrost in the northern portion and more temperate climates toward the US-Canada border. They both When the area was flooded it created mercury contamination in fish. Canada has developed as a country, for the better and now we are more accepting than ever before. Attention! In the United States, by comparison, the report notes there were 7,105 homicides committed with a handgun in 2016, accounting for 47 percent of all homicides south of the border that year." (Fletcher, 2018) Americans stress the protection of the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution, and often describe the United States' more lenient gun laws as a source of liberty. Households that are still able to make ends meet have around $630 left at the end of the month, which is down nearly 30 per cent from over $890 in July. My next reason that Canada is not a better country than it has been in the past in the way that Aboriginal Peoples have been enslaved to the wills of the racially preferred. That's almost 10 percentage points higher than the share of those who said across all age groups. With the ecological differences in mind, it is also essential to point out the societal divergence between the US and Canada. But all of these are nothing compared to what they truly lost out on. Without a doubt this is the type of identity we should work to keep. Another interesting facet of national celebration is that Canada Day and US Independence Day are only three days apart (July 1st to July 4th) and are both celebrated with traditions like barbeques, parades, and fireworks.

As is evident in many of these statistics, both countries' economies exemplify strengths and weaknesses. Because Canada has so many cultural, Canada is a very big country where many immigrants want to achieve their goals and have a good life. Canada is recognized for its very open immigration policies. Not only had the government taken away their land to begin with but then the Aboriginals were being threatened with more land loss. That is an unfortunate increase of 3%. There are small towns like Balm Beach, Deep River, Niagara on the Lake and Rapides-des-Joachims. Canada, on the other hand between four and five parties in the legislative body and even more than lobby for certain initiatives. Canada is not a better country now than it was before. Just take a look at the facts. Immigration is very important to Canada and the Canadian government, and there are many people that Immigrate to Canada each year. First, Language is one of the most infamous ways Canadians and Americans claim they can tell each other apart. (Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction, 2018).

However, these terms are evidently applicable to the treatment of Aboriginals during the time of European colonization of Canada. Unbelievably, in many countries around the world including Canada, euthanasia is illegal. This is very important for people who come from, Canada Lacks A Real National Identity Genocide is considered to "be the most serious of punishable crimes under international law…" (Fleras, 2010; p. 11); unfortunately, genocide has been inflicted upon Aboriginals, Do you think Canada is still racist country?

And overall, almost half of Canadians (48%), say they are within $200 of not being able to meet their financial obligations, which is up six points since September. Millennials and the Generation Xers are facing the most unfair disadvantages that white Canadians have had to face in a long time. The second reason I believe that Millennials and Generation X kids will be facing a tough future is because of the threat of the Baby Boomers. The treatment of women and First Nation and the rising debt for the future generations proves that no, Canada is not a better country than it was. Canada has a higher unemployment rate, but the US has higher rate of people living under the poverty line. Women have been conditioned to believe that it is their fault because they are worth less than men. Violence, sexual harassment, emphasis on being perfect in the world's eye, the unbalanced wage gap are just a few of them. Canada is filled with famous attractions and awe inspiring scenery that combine to make this country one of the most awesome places to live or visit in the world. In today's age, we don't experience this problem anymore. American women, on average live to be 80.8 years and 75.6 years for men. The speed in which they were handled was surprisingly, The Characters in The Young Housewife, Marian Forrester in A Lost Lady, and Caddy Compson in The Sound and the Fury, The House of Lords said the Borstal authorities owed a duty of care to the owners of the property near the camp. This can foster greater distrust and resentment toward national government, particularly when the opposing party has a greater disbursement of power. Millennials have their share of life's worries, and it's taking a toll on their mental health. In Canada on the other hand, English and French are both official languages, representative of the colonial background of Canada, as well as the federal government's relationship with the province of Quebec. Pssst… In Canada, the drinking age is determined by the local government, with legal age being 19 in the majority of the country, but in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec young adults can start drinking at 18.
