title: Anthony D'Amato

text:
Anthony D'Amato (born November 27, 1987), is an American songwriter and singer. His latest album is 2022's At First There Was Nothing.

Biography
D'Amato grew up in Blairstown, New Jersey, and attended Blair Academy on a scholarship. He attended Princeton University, where he recorded his first album, Down Wires, in a dormitory during his senior year, graduating in 2010. He released the record independently in 2010, catching the attention of NPR, which called his song "My Father's Son" a "modern folk gem," and the World Cafe, which featured him in their emerging artist series "Next." D'Amato followed it up with another home recording, Paper Back Bones, which made BBC Scotland's Best Americana Albums of 2012, and was described by host Ricky Ross as "one of [our] favourites of all time."

In 2014, D'Amato released his New West Records debut, The Shipwreck From The Shore, which was inspired in part by his time studying with the Pulitzer Prize-winning Irish poet Paul Muldoon and earned widespread critical acclaim, with NPR noting that "he writes in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen or Josh Ritter" and USA Today saying it "strikes every right note." The album was recorded with producer Sam Kassirer (Josh Ritter, Langhorne Slim) at The Great North Sound Society in Maine with members of Bon Iver and Megafaun. Songs from the record racked up millions of plays on Spotify and turned up on the ABC series Nashville, while the album earned additional praise everywhere from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal to New York magazine and Billboard.

D'Amato returned in 2016 with Cold Snap, recorded in Omaha, NE, with producer Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, First Aid Kit) and featuring performances by Conor Oberst and members of Bright Eyes, The Faint, and Cursive. Rolling Stone named him an "Artist You Need To Know", and D'Amato made his national TV debut on CBS This Morning.

D'Amato's latest album, 2022's At First There Was Nothing, marked his debut release for the Blue Rose label and earned similar acclaim, with American Songwriter calling it "a new masterpiece" and MOJO awarding it four stars.

D'Amato is also a member of the folk rock supergroup Fantastic Cat, which released its first album, The Very Best Of Fantastic Cat, and made its national TV debut in 2022. Rolling Stone called the album "a wildly satisfying collection of folk-rock, country, Americana, and good old rock & roll" and dubbed the band "the supegroup-you-need-to-know."

In addition to his musical work, D'Amato is associated with the rail photography hobby, particularly with the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Portions of the music video for Long Haul were shot on the railroad, and D'Amato's photography has been used by the railroad to advertise on social media.

title: Qorivva

text:
Qorivva is a line of Power ISA 2.03-based microcontrollers from Freescale built around one or more PowerPC e200 cores.  Within this line are a number of products specifically targeted for functional safety applications.  The hardware-based fault detection and correction features found within this line include dual cores that may run in lock-step, full-path ECC, automated self-testing of memory and logic, peripheral redundancy, and monitor/checker cores.

Qorivva Processor Families
Freescale has selected the following families of MPC5xxx processors for inclusion in the program targeting automotive, commercial, industrial, and aerospace applications, wherein assurances of correctness and safety are primary requirements.

MPC57xx Family
See also MPC57xx.
The MPC57xx Family is intended by its manufacturer to support achievement of system compliance with functional safety standards, ISO 26262 in particular.
Freescale's SafeAssure Functional Safety Program includes all members of this family.  Within that program, the MPC57xx are the primary microcontrollers targeted for safety-critical automotive applications.  Each product in this family features a matched pair of e200 cores intended for primary computation, but also incorporate at least one other e200 core in a support role (e.g., interface coprocessor or "Safety Checker").   To support attainment of higher levels of fault tolerance (such as those expected in the context of ASIL D), the paired e200 cores may be configured to operate as dual lockstep processors. (An exception is MPC5748G whose cores may not be lock-stepped and as such is intended by the manufacturer to only support attainment of the less critical ASIL B.)

Notably, the MPC5777M embodies three e200z7 cores at 300 MHz in a computational shell, two of which may be operated in lock step, and a fourth core, an e200z4, which is used for peripheral control.

Additional built-in hardware mechanisms particular to this family:
 "End to End Error Code Correction" (e2eECC) - all memory storage and internal transfers may be protected by error correction encoding having a Hamming Distance of 4, that distance providing automatic single bit-flip error correction and double bit-flip error detection.
 Built-In Self Tests of Logic and Memory (LBIST and MBIST, respectively) (normally boot-time operations)

MPC56xx and MPC55xx Families
See also MPC55xx and MPC56xx.
Products in these families each embody one or more e200 cores, usually of different versions. In this family, only the MPC567xK, MPC564xL, and MPC560xP are identified as part of Freescale's Functional Safety Program. Of these, only the MCP5643L features lock-step cores and is the only member of the family explicitly offered in support of ISO 26262.

The MPC5643L is notable for Freescale's claims that it is the first automotive microcontroller to be certified by an independent accredited assessor as compliant with the relevant MCU requirements of the automotive functional safety standard ISO 26262.
The Freescale microcontroller MPC5643L has been assessed according to the relevant requirements of ISO 26262 for microcontroller development and verification & validation. The assessment confirmed that the controller meets ASIL D.

title: Villafranchian

text:
Villafranchian age ( ) is a period of geologic time (3.5–1.0 Ma) spanning the Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene used more specifically with European Land Mammal Ages. Named by Italian geologist Lorenzo Pareto for a sequence of terrestrial sediments studied near Villafranca d'Asti, a town near Turin, it succeeds the Ruscinian age, and is followed by the Galerian.

The Villafranchian is sub-divided into six faunal units based on the localities of Triversa, Montopoli, Saint-Vallier, Olivola, Tasso and Farnetta.

A major division of both geological deposits and time, the Villafranchian is significant because the earliest hominids that clearly evolved into modern man (the australopithecines) appeared within it. The Villafranchian is partially contemporaneous with the Blancan Stage of North America.

Many animals and their extinct ancestors evolved during the Villafranchian, including the Red fox, Least weasel, Moorhen, Etruscan bear, and Panthera gombaszoegensis.

The beginning of the Villafranchian is typically defined by the first appearance of the bovid genus Leptobos in Italy, dated to around 3.5-3.6 million years ago (mya). The beginning of the Middle Villafranchian is defined by the "elephant–Equus event" denoting the first appearance of Mammuthus meridionalis and Equus stenonis, thought to be around 2.5-2.6 mya. The beginning of the Late Villafranchian was formerly typically defined by the "Wolf event", the first appearance of Canis etruscus , but this was later considered to be diachronous. It was later proposed that the boundary be placed at the first appearance of the giant hyena Pachycrocuta brevirostris approximately 1.8 mya.

title: Idaho stop

text:
The Idaho stop is the common name for laws that allow bicyclists to treat a stop sign as a yield sign, and a red light as a stop sign. It first became law in Idaho in 1982, but was not adopted elsewhere until Delaware adopted a limited stop-as-yield law, the "Delaware Yield", in 2017. Arkansas was the second state to legalize both stop-as-yield and red-light-as-stop in April 2019. Studies in Delaware and Idaho have shown significant decreases in crashes at stop-controlled intersections.

Legality by state

History
The original Idaho yield law was introduced as Idaho HB 541 during a comprehensive revision of Idaho traffic laws in 1982. At that time, minor traffic offenses were criminal offenses and there was a desire to downgrade many of these to "civil public offenses" to free up docket time.

Carl Bianchi, then the Administrative Director of the Courts in Idaho, saw an opportunity to attach a modernization of the bicycle law onto the larger revision of the traffic code. He drafted a new bicycle code that would more closely conform with the Uniform Vehicle Code, and included new provisions allowing bicyclists to take the lane, or to merge left, when appropriate. Addressing the concerns of the state's magistrates, who were concerned that "technical violations" of traffic control device laws by bicyclists were cluttering the court, the draft also contained a provision that allowed bicyclists to treat a stop sign as a yield sign—the so-called "rolling stop law". The new bicycle law passed in 1982, despite objections among some bicyclists and law enforcement officers.

In 2006, the law was modified to specify that bicyclists must stop on red lights and yield before proceeding straight through the intersection, and before turning left at an intersection. This had been the original intent, but Idaho law enforcement officials wanted it specified.The law originally passed with an education provision, but that was removed in 1988 because "youthful riders quickly
adapted to the new system and had more respect for a law that legalized actual riding behavior".

In 2001, Joel Fajans, a physics professor at the University of California at Berkeley, and Melanie Curry, a magazine editor, published an essay entitled "Why Bicyclists Hate Stop Signs" on why rolling stops were better for bicyclists and it provided greater interest in the Idaho law.

The first effort to enact the law outside of Idaho was started in Oregon in 2003, when the Idaho law still only applied to stop signs. While it overwhelmingly passed in the House, it never made it out of the Senate Rules Committee. The Oregon effort in turn inspired an investigation of the law by the San Francisco Bay Area Metropolitan Transportation Commission in 2008. That investigation failed to spawn legislation, but it did garner national attention, which led to similar efforts nationwide.

The term "Idaho Stop" came into popular use as a result of the California effort in 2008. Prior to that, it was called "Idaho Style" or "Roll-and-go". "Idaho Stop" was popularized by the bicycle blogger Richard Masoner in June 2008 coverage of the San Francisco proposal, but in reference to the "Idaho Stop Law"; the term had been used in discussion since at least the year prior. In August of the same year, the term—now in quotes—first showed up in print in a Christian Science Monitor article by Ben Arnoldy who referred to the "so-called 'Idaho stop' rule". Soon after, the term "Idaho stop" was commonly being used as a noun, not a modifier.

Safety

A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration fact sheet published in March 2023 states that Stop as Yield and Red as Stop laws "showed added safety benefits for bicyclists in States where they were evaluated, and may positively affect the environment, traffic, and transportation". Acting Administrator Ann Carlson stated at a conference in October 2022 that "it increases [bicyclist] visibility to drivers and reduces their exposure. It also promotes safety in numbers by encouraging more people to bike which reduces cyclists overall risks.”

A 2009 study showed a 14.5% decrease in bicyclist injuries after the passage of the original Idaho Stop law (though did not otherwise tie the decrease to the law). A Delaware state-run study of the "Delaware Yield" law (allowing bicyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs) concluded that it reduced injuries at stop-sign controlled intersections by 23%.

A study of rolling stops in Seattle determined that "results support the theoretical assertion that bicyclists are capable of making safe decisions regarding rolling stop", while a 2013 survey of stop as yield in Colorado localities where it is legal reported no increase in crashes. Another study done in Chicago showed that compliance with stop signs and stop lights by cyclists was low when cross-traffic was not present, but that most were still performing an Idaho Stop; and therefore "enforcing existing rules at these intersections would seem arbitrary and [capricious]".

International approaches
Various approaches to stop-as-yield and red light-as-stop laws exist outside of the United States. In the Netherlands, many junctions are designed to avoid the need for a stop sign, using techniques such as roundabouts, marking the road to indicate who must yield to whom. In 2012 a trial in Paris allowed bicyclists at 15 intersections to turn right or, if there is no street to the right, proceed straight ahead on red, under the condition that they "exercise caution" and yield to pedestrians, after road safety experts deemed the measure would reduce collisions. After the trial, French law was modified to allow bicyclists to treat certain stop lights as yield signs as allowed by signage. Some French cities, like Lyon, have installed the sign on many red lights citywide.

Legislative history
The "Idaho Stop" has been state policy there since 1982, with Idaho Transportation Department Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator Mark McNeese saying in 2015 that "Idaho bicycle-collision statistics confirm that the Idaho law has resulted in no discernible increase in injuries or fatalities to bicyclists."

There was a resurgence of attempts to legalize stop-as-yield in other states in the 2000s. After Oregon and San Francisco’s failed attempts to have similar bills passed, the Colorado cities of Dillon and Breckenridge, passed stop-as-yield laws in 2011, the first places in the country outside of Idaho. in 2012 Summit County passed a similar law for its unincorporated areas, and in 2014, the City of Aspen passed one as well. In 2018, the state passed a law standardizing the language municipalities or counties could use to pass an Idaho Stop or Stop-as-yield ordinance and preventing it from applying to any state highway system.

In 2017, 35 years after Idaho, Delaware became the second U.S. state to pass an Idaho Stop law. Delaware's law - known as the "Delaware Yield" - makes stop-as-yield legal, but it only applies on roads with one or two travel lanes. Bicyclists must come to a complete stop at stop sign-controlled intersections with multi-lane roads.

In April 2019, Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson signed the Arkansas "Idaho stop" law. On August 6, 2019, Oregon Governor Kate Brown signed Stop as Yield into law with an effective date of January 1, 2020. Washington State legalized stop-as-yield in October 2020. On March 18, 2021, Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed Stop as Yield into law for the state and on the next day, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum signed a similar law for that state. On May 10, 2021, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed House Bill 1770, which will allow bicyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs and stop lights as stop signs effective November 1, 2021.  In April 2022, Colorado passed a law legalizing both Stop as Yield and Red as Stop statewide, overruling the previous patchwork of local laws.

In December 2022, Washington, DC adopted the Safer Streets Amendment Act which allows bicyclists to yield at stop signs. The Act also allows bicyclists to turn right at a red light after stopping, which was banned for drivers at the same time. An earlier version of the bill included a general “Red Light as Stop” provision but this was replaced with a provision that would allow “Red Light as Stop” only at specific intersections with signage posted.

In May 2023, Minnesota passed a law that allowed bicyclists to treat a stop sign as a yield sign.

Idaho stop style bills, or resolutions asking the state to pass one, have been introduced in but not yet successful in Arizona, Montana, New York City, Santa Fe, Edmonton, New Jersey, Virginia, and Texas. In California, an Idaho Stop bill was vetoed in 2021 due to the governor’s concerns that the law would confuse children; in 2022 the legislature withdrew a bill legalizing the Idaho Stop for adults after the governor indicated it would be vetoed again. Another bill passed the California Assembly in May 2023.

Positions
Advocates for Idaho stop laws argue that they improve safety. One study showed that Idaho has less severe crashes. Similarly, tests of a modified form of the Idaho Stop in Paris found that "allowing the cyclists to move more freely cut down the chances of collisions with cars, including accidents involving the car's blind spot". Some supporters maintain that changing the legal duties of bicyclists provides direction to law enforcement to focus attention where it belongs—on unsafe bicyclists (and motorists). Additionally, some claim that, because bicycle laws should be designed to allow bicyclists to travel swiftly and easily, the Idaho stop provision allows for the conservation of energy.

Opponents of the law maintain that a uniform, unambiguous set of laws that apply to all road users is easier for children to understand and allowing bicyclists to behave by a separate set of rules than drivers makes them less predictable and thus, less safe. Jack Gillette, former president of the Boise Bicycle Commuters Association, argued that bicyclists should not have greater freedoms than drivers. "Bicyclists want the same rights as drivers, and maybe they should have the same duties", he said. San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee argued without citing evidence that the law "directly endangers pedestrians and cyclists" in his veto of a similar law in the city.

Related laws

Many US states have laws allowing bicyclists (and motorcyclists) to stop at and then proceed through a red light if the light doesn't change due to the inability of the embedded sensors in the ground to detect them. Such laws often require that the bicyclist stop, confirm that there is no oncoming traffic, and proceed after waiting a certain amount of time or cycles of the light. These are known as "Dead Red" laws.

Lane splitting, which allows people on bicycles and motorcycles to "filter" through stopped or slow-moving traffic, is legal in a handful of US states and large parts of the world.

In countries that do not generally allow right turns on red, some allow right turns on red for bicyclists, either in general as in Belgium, or where specifically marked, such as Denmark, Germany and France.

title: Ranger Uranium Environmental Inquiry

text:
Ranger Uranium Environmental Inquiry (RUEI) (also known as the Fox Report)  was a committee established by the Whitlam government in Australia, which sought to explore the environmental concerns surrounding uranium mining.  The Inquiry was established in 1975.

Reports
The inquiry produced two major reports. The first report investigated broad issues around nuclear power such as should Australia be involved in nuclear power.  The report was released in October 1976. It concluded that uranium mining could proceed safely if it was well regulated.

The second report investigated issues surrounding the establishment of the Ranger Uranium Mine. It concluded that indigenous land rights should be upheld and that a new national park be established.  The national park was to be called Kakadu, with the Ranger, Jabiluka and Koongarra uranium projects deliberately excised from Kakadu. The federal government approved the mine due to the report. Mining operations began in 1980 and went on to become Australia’s longest running uranium mine. Recommendations were made in an effort to reduce environmental releases and the potential harmful impacts of radionuclides and heavy metals.

According to the National Archives of Australia:
The Inquiry found that if uranium mining was properly regulated and controlled, its hazards were not sufficient to prevent the development of the mines. The Inquiry recommended the establishment of a comprehensive system of environmental monitoring and research, overseen by a coordinating committee representing all the agencies involved, and chaired by a supervising scientist. It also recommended the granting of Aboriginal title to a substantial part of the region and the creation of a national park.

title: Brindavanam (soundtrack)

text:
Brindavanam is the soundtrack to the 2010 Telugu romance film of the same name, directed by Vamsi Paidipally and starring N. T. Rama Rao Jr., Kajal Aggarwal and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The soundtrack album originally includes eight tracks composed by S. Thaman and was released on 12 September 2010. The release coincided with a promotional event held at Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad, India. The album was officially released by Aditya Music. The audio went on to receive enormously positive response from reviewers and audience alike.

Release
The soundtrack was composed by S. S. Thaman marking his first collaboration with both Vamsi Paidipally and N. T. Rama Rao Jr. respectively. The music was released on the night of 12 September 2010 through Aditya Music label at Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad and Venu Madhav and Udaya Bhanu hosted the function.

Keeravani, Prabhas, Samantha, Kajal Aggarwal, Koti, Boyapati Srinu, Brahmaji, K S Rama Rao, Chota K Naidu, Meher Ramesh, Sri Hari, Ashwini Dutt, Brahmanandam and Vijayan attended the audio release function.

Track-List

Reception
The album received positive response. IndiaGlitz gave a review stating "Thaman’s a great drummer and his beats in this album stand testimony to that. He’s composed an urban album that has quite a few ‘ear’ning songs with ‘Eyi Raja’, ‘Oopiri Aage’ and ‘Mojjarey’ standing out!". Cinegoer.net gave a review stating "After Kick, Thaman S. composes for this NTR Jr. starrer, Brindavanam. In keeping with the title and possible theme of the movie, an air of celebration and Indianness dominates the music. Some of the songs have nothing new/fresh to offer while the fast-paced folk-inspired numbers are better. Overall, a decent album but nothing earth-shattering." 123telugu.com gave a review stating "Overall the songs of Brindaavanam are fast, most of them soulful, enjoyable and a touch catering to the lovers of mass numbers. Most Telugu music directors have been going the Rahman way focusing on a fast beat while the song is slow. This album is an exception, where the songs are as fast as they can get. Thaman manages to keep everyone interested with his tunes, in spite of the pressure to cater to dance needs of Jr.NTR." greatandhra.com gave a review stating "Overall, the entire album is filled with fast beats, tangy lyrics, peppy vocals. While the entire feel of the album is up and high, it would have balanced the listener’s mind if a proper slow song and a romantic melody was added to it. The heartbeat picks up at all times so the songs may go well with the youngsters but not so much for the family or the matured music lovers."

title: Old Weir Bridge

text:
The Old Weir Bridge is an ancient bridge located in Killarney National Park in County Kerry, Ireland.  It is a twin arch bridge made of stone.

The bridge is situated at the spot known as the "Meeting of the Waters", where the three Killarney lakes meet. The waters from the Upper Lake flow into the Middle (or Muckross Lake) and Lough Leane.

History

The actual age of the bridge is unclear, but believed to date back to the sixteenth century.  A 1780 Fisher print of the bridge shows it already had fallen into a state of disrepair by the late 1700s. and remained so for at least the next 100 years.

The bridge quickly became, (and remains) a popular trip for tourist who use the swift current to propel narrow boats down the inlet.

The bridge survived the devastating floods of September 1867, when local houses, including Dinis Cottage, and other wooden structures were washed away.

The Rodeo Drive Walk of Style, located on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California, commemorates people who have made important contributions to fashion, design, and costume.

Background

The "Walk of Style" was founded in 2003 by the City of Beverly Hills and the Rodeo Drive Committee. Fred Hayman, who is known as "the father of Rodeo Drive," was involved in conceptualizing and creating the idea of the Walk of Style. He himself was granted the honor in 2011. The Walk features a statue called Torso by sculptor Robert Graham, which was unveiled at its founding ceremony, attended by Giorgio Armani, the first honoree. The sculpture was designed by Graham specifically for the Walk of Style. Like the more famous Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Walk of Style has bronze plaques set into the sidewalk for each person being honored. The plaques feature an idealized representation of Graham's sculpture. Each honoree is also awarded a miniature version of Graham's sculpture to mark the occasion.

title: Ezourvedam

text:
The Ezourvedam is a forgery "consisting of certain 'Vedic' materials translated by Jesuits with the intention of isolating elements most in harmony with Christianity." Rather than an original Sanskrit work, the Ezourvedam turned out to be a French text, written by French Jesuits, and meant to be translated into Sanskrit.

History and authorship
A manuscript called Ezourvedam was given to Voltaire in 1760 by Louis-Laurent de Féderbe, Chevalier de Maudave. The text was in French, and said to be a French translation of a Sanskrit original. Voltaire was enthusiastic about the work, had it copied, and brought it to the attention of others. It was first published in 1778 (Voltaire died that same year).  The genuineness of the Ezourvedam was first questioned in 1782; these doubts were confirmed in 1822. Rather than an original Sanskrit work, the Ezourvedam turned out to be a French text, written by French Jesuits, and meant to be translated into Sanskrit.

Title
The name Ezourvedam was sometimes taken to be a corruption of Yajurveda, but the Ezourvedam has nothing in common with the Yajurveda. The Ezourvedam itself refers to the Yajurveda as Zozu-vedam. "Ezour" is the sandhi-form of "Ezous-", that is, "Jezus", based on the Latin pronunciation used by the Jesuits. The name "Ezourvedam" means something like "Gospel of Jesus".

Content
Ezourvedam  is a French text in the form of a dialogue between two Vedic sages, one monotheist and one polytheist, they conclude the monotheism of 'pristine Hinduism' points to Christian truth and Hinduism is monotheism masquerading as polytheism concealing monotheism.

title: James Giles (philosopher)

text:
James Giles (born 1958) is a Canadian philosopher and psychologist.  He has written about the philosophy of perception, personal identity and the self, mindfulness, Buddhist and Taoist philosophy, and has published theories of the evolution of human hairlessness, the nature of sexual desire, sexual attraction, and gender. His wide range of academic interests and often controversial views have earned him the title of an "interdisciplinary maverick."

Schooling and career
Giles was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, grew up in West Point Grey, and graduated from Point Grey Secondary School. He studied at the University of British Columbia (BA Hons, MA) and at the University of Edinburgh (PhD). In addition to teaching at UBC and Edinburgh, he has also taught at the University of Aalborg, the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, Hawaii College of Kansai University, Japan, the University of Guam, and La Trobe University, Australia. He now lectures in psychology at Roskilde University in Denmark, and at the Institute of Continuing Education, University of Cambridge.

In addition to his academic research, Giles has also written for several media, including Monitor on Psychology, The Copenhagen Post, The Ottawa Citizen, Science of Relationships, The Vancouver Sun, Daily Pacific News,  and The Conversation, among others.

Notable ideas

No-self theory
Giles takes Hume's notion of personal identity being a fiction and develops it in terms of Buddhist accounts of no-self and theories of language. Giles points out that many theories of personal identity are reductive theories. They try to reduce the idea of personal identity to elements such as memory, personality, or bodily continuity. The no-self theory, however, is an eliminative theory. That is, it eliminates the idea of personal identity altogether. He allows that we are sometimes aware of psychological and emotional states that seem to give immediate awareness of self. He argues, however, that what we are aware of at these times is not an persisting self, but rather a "constructed or condensed self-image", namely "a composite of related images and meanings referring to how I see myself at that moment". These moments, however, make only rare appearances in consciousness. Giles is a major proponent of the no-self theory. His contributions have been anthologized, received extensive discussion in such diverse fields as philosophy,  psychology, history, and communication, and called one of the best comparative studies of Hume and Buddhist philosophy. Giles has also argued for the role of the no-self theory in contemporary mindfulness-based interventions. His original account of the place of the no-self theory here has been widely cited and discussed.

Metaphysics of awareness
In a radical interpretation of early Taoist philosophy, Giles argues that the Tao has little to do with mysticism or cosmology. Rather, it refers to human awareness. The Taoist accounts of return and non-action, says Giles, provide us with insights into the nature of awareness and how meditative states can co-exist within and thus underpin everyday awareness. This works through what he calls the double return, or a back and forth of stillness and constant flow of awareness. Giles compares this view of awareness with ancient Greek, Buddhist, existentialist, and analytic accounts of philosophy of mind in an "extension of the global philosophical palette".

Nature of sexual desire
Giles first published his theory of sexual desire in an article entitled "A Theory of Love and Sexual Desire" in 1994. This theory was developed in The Nature of Sexual Desire in 2004/2008.  Sexologists usually account for sexual desire either in terms of social constructionism or as a biological characteristic essential to reproduction. Giles rejects both these views, and attempts to show by a phenomenological approach that sexual desire is an existential need rooted in the human condition, based on a feeling of incompleteness from the experience of one's own gender as a form of disequilibrium. The desired person's gender, whether the same or different from one's own gender, is seen as completing one's own gender. As Crockett says, "The core of Giles' argument with regard to the relationship between gender and sexuality is that (gendered) sexual orientation is essential to the experience of sexual desire." Although the theory shows similarities to earlier theories such as those of Thomas Nagel on sexual perversion, or of Aristophanes on romantic love in Plato's Symposium, Giles' core thesis is quite distinct. This is the idea that sexual desire is just the desire for mutual baring and caressing. Baring and caressing are thus the true objects of sexual desire. Giles' book on sexual desire has been extensively discussed and reviewed in journals from an array of different disciplines. Giles is also known for both his critique of the attempt to pathologize high levels of sexual behaviour and his rejection of the idea that sexual orientation is socially constructed.

Vulnerability and care theory of love
The vulnerability and care theory of love was put forward by Giles in his article, "A Theory of Love and Sexual Desire" (1994) and later developed in his book The Nature of Sexual Desire (2004/2008). Giles also presents his theory in a TEDx Talk'. According to Giles, romantic love is a complex of reciprocal desires for mutual vulnerability and care. One desires to be vulnerable before the beloved in order that the beloved may show care. At the same time one desires that the beloved be vulnerable before oneself in order that one may care for her or him. Although vulnerability has often been thought to be an unavoidable and perhaps unwanted consequence of love, Giles sees it as being an essential object of the desires of love. His theory of romantic love has been reviewed in numerous journals and discussed by scholars Dr. Ruth, in her textbook Human Sexuality: a Psychosocial Perspective (2002), Dr. Barbara Keesling, in her book Sexual Pleasure: Reaching New Heights of Sexual Arousal (2005)., and Natasha McKeever in Romantic Love and Monogamy: A Philosophical Exploration (2014),

Sexual attraction
In Sexual Attraction: The Psychology of Allure, Giles claims that the experience of sexual attraction has been ignored by scholars or confused with sexual desire. While sexual desire is an urge that is experienced as coming from within, sexual attraction is felt to have its locus in the attractive person. Giles further distinguishes sexual attraction from physical attraction, which can be seen simply as a "subjective experience of positive affect toward a specific individual, based on an assessment of their physical attractiveness" As Zsok et al. point out, this is different from Giles' account of the experience of sexual attraction, which has the following three components:
feeling drawn towards the attractive person, much like being drawn by a magnetic quality
a sense of helplessness in being drawn towards the person
sexual fantasies about erotic interaction with the person.

This shows how sexual attraction can exist independently of any sexual behaviours. This assists in the study of types of sexual attraction that do not necessarily express themselves in sexual behaviour.

Naked love theory
Giles published his "naked love theory" of human hairlessness in 2010, which has become one of the prominent theories in this area. He rejects the popular view that human hairlessness evolved because of the need for thermoregulation when we became hunters and ran after prey. He points out that ancestral women would have been continually pregnant, breast-feeding, or tending small children and so would not have been commonly running after prey. Yet, it is women who are more hairless than men. This suggests that hairlessness began with women and was passed on to men. Giles postulates that hairlessness in human beings evolved as a result of the pleasure of skin-to-skin contact between mother and child, and thus ultimately as a consequence of bipedalism. With all other primates, the infant clings to the mother's fur with its hands and feet. However, with the advent of bipedalism, ancestral human infants lost the ability to cling to their mothers with their feet, which became adapted for walking rather than grasping. Ancestral mothers who were bipedal could compensate for this by holding their infants with their newly freed arms. But carrying an infant is much work. Anything that motivated the mother to carry her infant would thus have been selected for. Naked skin was one such adaptation. Mothers with a hairless mutation, who passed this on to their infants, would have been motivated to hold the infant by the sensual pleasure of skin-to-skin contact.  This is the basis of what Giles calls maternal selection for hairless infants. This selection process would have been further driven by sexual selection for hairless sex partners, sex partners who would remind the individual of the sensual contact of infancy. The naked love theory thus explains why women and children are more hairless that adult males. For hairlessness has its origins in the mother-child relationship. According to Giles, naked skin is a precondition for the appearance of romantic love,

title: Native Tour

text:
The Native Tour (also known as the Native Summer Tour in North America or as the Native Fall Tour in Europe) is the third headlining concert tour by American Pop rock band OneRepublic, in support of their third studio album Native (2013). OneRepublic were joined on the Native Summer leg of the tour by The Script and American Authors, and on the European "Native Fall Tour" leg by Kongos. The tour has traveled across five continents: Asia, Europe, Oceania, North America, and Africa. The tour began on April 2, 2013 in Milan, Italy and ended on September 20, 2015 in São Paulo, Brazil.

Background
The first North American leg was announced April 23, 2013.
In September 2013, the band announced Australian and New Zealand dates.
The first round for the Summer 2014 North American dates were announced in December 2013. This leg was dubbed the "Native Summer Tour". Those dates showed an influx in sales and sold out shows in major markets which surprised the band and promoters. This prompted additional dates for that leg which were announced in February 2014.

Concert synopsis

The set begins with the band "in silhouette behind a white curtain before it was ripped away to revel an uncluttered set with a projection screen." The stage is designed with "diamond-shaped video screens, a multi-level stage" and a catwalk which leads to a B-stage on which the band plays on for a section of the show.

The set list includes the band's well-known songs and covers, such as "What a Wonderful World" (Louis Armstrong), "Take Me to Church" (Hozier) and "Budapest" by George Ezra and others.

From May 30 to June 15, 2015, they streamed the show on merkaat.com during the closing song, "If I Lose Myself" and the after show backstage.  The band also released a film of their concert in Johannesburg, entitled Live In South Africa on DVD and Blu-ray.

Critical reception
Stephanie March of the Denver Posts Reverb says, "the band quickly showed why it deserved the two night sellout by transitioning with finesse into "Secrets" from "Waking Up"." Kevin C. Johnson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says that, "the show was nothing special, yet came off totally like able." "Early songs such as "Secrets", "All the Right Moves", "What You Wanted" and "Stop and Stare" felt a little slow to lift off but the show gained its right momentum before long." The Pittsburgh Post-Gazettes Ebony Martins' review of the show was; "If there is any chance that music exists in heaven, there's a good chance that heavens heard Ryan Tedder's a cappella falsettos Friday night at the First Niagara Pavilion." "Dressed in all black, Mr. Tedder was clearly the rock star of the night, swinging his signature fedora hat on and off during songs, bouncing on speakers, jumping on the piano for a few songs and blessing fans with his lyrical genius." Lynn Saxberg from the Ottawa Citizen says, "Fans were bedazzled by the slick production." Saxberg was happy that there was nothing to distract the band's musicianship which was "top-notch level". One highlight was during "Preacher" a song that "Tedder wrote for his grandfather." Mike Ross, of the Edmonton Sun said, OneRepublic wowed the crowd at Rexall Place and delivered. He praised front man Tedder for his powerhouse vocals, ability to play the piano, and write songs "with a catchy hook, an anthemic U2-ian chorus and some kind of empowering inspirational message". He also praised the other band members talent for playing a variety of instruments.

title: Arnold Penther

text:
Arnold Penther (15 October 1865, Rome – 6 April 1931, Vienna) was an Austrian naturalist.

From 1887 to 1891 he studied natural sciences in Vienna, receiving his PhD in 1892. Beginning in 1898 he worked as a volunteer at the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, later attaining the role of curator. At the museum, he specialized in the field of arachnology.

In 1894–96 he conducted zoological and botanical investigations in South Africa and Rhodesia. Ornithological specimens collected on the expedition were donated to the natural history museum in Vienna, and many of the plants he collected on the trip became part of the Vienna herbarium. Later on in his career, he embarked on scientific expeditions to Asia Minor, Mesopotamia and the Balkans.

The genus Pentheriella (family Asteraceae, synonym Heteromma) was named in his honor by Karl August Otto Hoffmann and Reinhold Conrad Muschler, and taxa with the specific epithet of pentheri are named after him, an example being Rhus pentheri.

title: Whyalla Airlines Flight 904

text:
Whyalla Airlines Flight 904 was a scheduled commuter flight, operated by a Piper PA-31 Navajo which crashed while attempting to ditch in the Spencer Gulf, South Australia after suffering failures of both engines on the evening of 31 May 2000. All 8 people on board the aircraft were killed as a result of the accident. The findings of a subsequent investigation by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau highlighting the airline's operating procedures as a key factor leading to the accident were later overturned after they were contradicted by evidence presented at a coronial inquiry into the deaths of those on board the flight. The safety implications arising from the accident were subject to a recall by engine manufacturer Textron Lycoming which saw close to 1000 aircraft grounded worldwide while defects were rectified at an estimated cost of $A66 million. Australia's aviation regulator, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority also mandated lifejackets be carried on all aircraft operating over water after the crash.

Accident

Flight 904 departed Adelaide International Airport at 18:23 and climbed to an altitude of  before turning to track directly towards Whyalla. Much of the route was flown over the waters of Gulf St Vincent and Spencer Gulf while in darkness, with a short distance crossing the isolated Yorke Peninsula. Approximately 30 minutes later the pilot notified Adelaide Air Traffic Control that he was commencing descent into Whyalla. At 19:01, the pilot issued a distress call, advising both engines had failed and he intended to ditch the aircraft if unable to make the destination. Contact with flight 904 was maintained for another three minutes, to a point approximately  from Whyalla. Shortly after the final transmission from the aircraft, the crew of another flight nearby detected a signal from an Emergency Locator Transmitter which lasted between 10 and 20 seconds.

A search and rescue operation recovered two bodies and debris from the water the following morning. On 6 June, a further five bodies were recovered by police divers from the main wreckage which had been located on the sea floor. The eighth victim was never located. The accident was the first recorded ditching involving a Piper Navajo in Australia, and the deadliest crash involving a scheduled airline since 1980.

Aftermath and ATSB investigation
The main wreckage of the Piper Navajo was raised from the sea floor on 9 June and found to be relatively intact. During the investigation, aviation regulator CASA grounded the small airline as part of a separate, ongoing audit of its operations, hearing allegations that the airline forced pilots who reported they were fatigued to continue working or face dismissal and that records of duty hours had been falsified. These claims were strongly denied by the company management who insisted they maintained a good safety culture. The grounding resulted in the dismissal of the airline's pilots and disruption to air services throughout the isolated Eyre Peninsula. The company had previously been subject to investigation by the regulator following a 1997 forced landing when one of its aircraft had run low on fuel. An audit had uncovered 119 breaches, and saw the chief pilot's endorsement revoked. However, the airline was able to satisfy the regulator and was permitted to continue operating. On 21 April 2000, just weeks before the accident the original chief pilot was approved by CASA and reinstated in the position, after his replacement quit amid concerns about the company management and safety culture. It was also revealed the accident aircraft had suffered another engine failure in January 2000 while being flown by the same pilot. The engine had been replaced following the incident.

The ATSB's report on the accident was released in December 2001. The 150-page document included nine separate safety recommendations, focusing on the apparent relationship between Whyalla Airlines' fuel mixture practices and chemical deposits from accumulating inside pistons and cylinder heads affecting engine reliability. Recommendations were also made with regards to safety and survival equipment carried on small aircraft operated commercially. The report found that the aircraft's left engine first suffered a catastrophic failure after the crankshaft failed as a result of fatigue cracking. It suggested the actions of the pilot in continuing to Whyalla while increasing power on the right engine contributed to it also failing as a result of mishandling and overloading due to extra strain. The report did not attribute a probable cause of the accident.

The findings of the report were disputed by many in the aviation industry, in particular the emphasis on lead oxybromide deposits formed as a result of the engines running at high temperatures due to the company's fuel saving policies. The report attributed these deposits as the cause of detonation within the cylinder head which blew a hole in the right engine, although the validity of this finding was disputed outside of the Bureau. Commentators in the United States where the aircraft was manufactured weighed in to the controversy. John Deakin, a highly experienced pilot and writer for US aviation news website AVweb raised further questions. Deakin pointed out that one month after the report was published, engine manufacturer Textron Lycoming notified operators of the same model fitted to flight 904 of a recall to address defective crankshafts, and provided a number of plausible scenarios leading to engine failures which were overlooked by the investigation. With a lack of corroborating evidence other than the ATSB's own research, Deakin labelled the findings as "junk science". Flying magazine editor Richard Collins disagreed however, describing the report as "the most complete accident report on a mechanically related general aviation piston airplane accident" he had ever seen.

Coronial inquest and second report
A Coronial inquest into the deaths of the accident victims and adequacy of the ATSB investigation began in July 2002. South Australian Coroner Wayne Chivell delivered his findings on 24 July 2003, exonerating the pilot overturning the ATSB's conclusions. The conduct of the ATSB during the inquiry was described by the court as "uncooperative and defensive" after reviewing scientific evidence which contradicted the report, indicating that the initial failure occurred in one of the cylinders in the right engine as a result of overheating that may have been exacerbated by the presence of lead oxybromide deposits. The engine however would have continued operating at a reduced power, affecting the pilot's decision to continue to Whyalla. The Coroner found the failure of the left engine was caused by a metallurgic defect, present in the broken crankshaft since its manufacture, hence the failures were independent of each other. The inquest was critical that the ATSB had not taken into account as many as 15 similar engine failures leading to Textron Lycoming's recall, including two that occurred in Australia after the accident. Just days before the report was released in December 2001, the Bureau was notified of an incident involving a Sharp Airlines Piper Chieftain which suffered a broken crankshaft in one of its engines.

Chivell also accused the ATSB of dismissing the possibility of the engines on flight 904 failing independently of one another simply because it was extremely unlikely, and that the original investigation was flawed because it had tried to make the available evidence fit a theory, instead of exploring all possibilities and described the Bureau's attitude to the investigation as arrogant.

In response to the Coroner's findings, the ATSB undertook to improve the way in which it interacted with state Coroners during safety investigations, developing a memorandum of understanding to engage with and clarify the aspects of the investigation that the Bureau considered within its scope and encouraging Coroners to share information and liaise with the Bureau on matters they believed should be included in reporting and analysis of accidents. It argued however that while it was not the ATSB's job to attribute blame in an accident, the Coroner's investigation commissioned experts including representatives from a US firm acting on behalf of victims families in a civil litigation case seeking damages from engine manufacturer Textron Lycoming. A supplementary accident investigation was opened in November 2002 to consider new evidence heard before the Coronial inquest. The second report was published in October 2003, acknowledging the Coroner's findings, but maintaining that the sequence of events and contributing factors discussed in the Bureau's original report remained the most likely explanation for the accident.

Legacy and safety action
As a result of the investigations into the crash of Whyalla Airlines 904, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority accepted and acted upon some of the recommendations made by both the ATSB and the South Australian Coroner. This included immediately mandating that all flights operated within Australia over water with paying passengers on board were to carry life jackets. Previously, this had been only required for aircraft carrying more than nine passengers. Subsequent revisions of the regulations in the aftermath of the accident also went further, requiring emergency beacons, lighting and provisions to be carried on such flights. The investigations also prompted CASA to take action warning pilots and operators of high performance piston engine aircraft about potential dangers of running engines with a leaner than optimal fuel-air mixture.

title: Sinknesh Ejigu

text:
Sinknesh Ejigu Wolde-Mariam (born 1956) is an Ethiopian politician, chemist and businesswoman. She is currently Ethiopian Ambassador to Brazil, Argentina and Chile.

Biography
She was born in Ambo west of Addis Ababa to a family of eight in 1956. Her father, Ejigu Wolde-Mariam, was a military officer so the family moved around Ethiopia a lot. Both her parents did not have much education but they encouraged their children to seek a strong one. She attended several different primary schools. At the Princess Tenagnework Comprehensive High School, an Indian teacher encouraged her interest in science and chemistry. Ejigu enrolled at Addis Ababa University in 1973, where she was assigned to the mathematics department but transferred to the chemistry department in her second year.

In the midst of the revolution in 1974, she was sent to the farmland to work alongside peasants. Due to the hardness of the situation in the country at the time, she dropped out of university to work teaching physical science. Later, she found work at the Ethiopian Pharmaceutical Manufacturing as a chemical analyst. After quitting her job in pharmaceuticals, she received a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Addis Ababa University in 1980. Ejigu became a junior geoscience analyst in the laboratory of the Ethiopian Geological Survey. She earned a master's degree in Analytical Chemistry in 1988 at the University of East Anglia. After taking her degree, she joined the Water and Geothermal Analysis Department in the Ministry of Mines and was soon promoted to head of the department, rare for a woman at the time. She became Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Mines and Energy in June 1998.

She is a member of the Oromo Peoples' Democratic Organization and was a member of the House of Peoples' Representatives representing Dendi, Western Shewa, Oromia. She was appointed Minister of Mines in the Cabinet of Ethiopia in 2010. Her main role as minister was to discover the basic geoscience data of Ethiopia, to promote mineral and petroleum exploration, and grant permits to investors seeking to make money in mining. Due to her background in science, she was able to directly manage the scientific projects themselves and not just the personnel of the ministry. Throughout Ethiopia's history the government typically pursued agriculture for development, but it began focusing more on mining when Ejignu was appointed. In 2012, she was involved in a dispute with the Hong Kong-based company PetroTrans after she revoked their license since they were taking too long on a project.

In 2014, she became Ethiopian Ambassador to Brazil, Argentina and Chile. Ejignu is also a Director of Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation.

Personal life
She is married to a man she met at Addis Ababa University and has two children.

title: Thomas Bennett (Canadian politician)

text:
Thomas Bennett (November 14, 1835 – January 27, 1908) was an Irish-born Canadian politician. He served as the first mayor of Strathcona, Alberta.

Bennett was born in Ireland in 1835. After immigrating to Canada, he served on the city council and as mayor of Bury, Quebec. He was also a warden in Compton County, Quebec. Bennett moved to Strathcona in 1895 as an immigration agent. Upon Strathcona's incorporation as a town, Bennett would be elected as the town's first mayor in an election with around 700 votes cast. His council would consist of prominent Strathcona residents, including future Premier of Alberta, Alexander Cameron Rutherford. As mayor, Bennett took a conservative approach to affairs, in hopes of preventing debt to the town. He was an early pioneer of the education system in Strathcona, serving on the town's school board as a trustee which also included a stint as chairman. He died at his home in Strathcona in 1908 after a long illness; his body would later be taken by train to Sherbrooke, Quebec for interment after his funeral in Strathcona, which was attended by many citizens, as well as the incumbent city council and mayor. At the time of his death, he was serving as immigration agent for Strathcona once again. Built in 1912, the Bennett Centre, formerly known as Bennett School, which is located in present-day Edmonton, is named in Thomas Bennett's honour.

title: Pteria penguin

text:
Pteria penguin, commonly known as the penguin's wing oyster, is a species of marine bivalve mollusk in the family Pteriidae, the pearl oysters. It is native to the western and central Indo-Pacific region and is used for the production of cultured pearls. The generic name comes from Greek πτερον (pteron) meaning wing.

Distribution and habitat
Pteria penguin is native to the western and central Indo-Pacific region. Its range extends from the East African coast and the Red Sea to India, southern China, southern Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia and northern Australia. It is found attached by its byssal threads to a number of different substrates, rocks and corals (especially to Gorgonacea), at intertidal depths of less than .

Description
Pteria penguin can reach a common shell length of about , with a maximum   length of . The shells of this rather large species are  solid and ovate. The posterior ear develops a narrow, elongated, wing-like expansion. The left valve is more inflated than the right one. The outside color of the shell ranges from dark brown to black, while the interior is nacreous silvery, a wide non-nacreous glossy black margin

Biology
As well as most of the species of the class Bivalvia, these wing oysters are gonochoric. Embryos of this species at first develop into a free-swimming planktonic marine larva, then followed by a veliger, quite similar to a small clam.

Pearl culture
Wild oysters of this species seldom contain pearls. When they do, they tend to be irregular in shape and have the same range of pinkish hues that are typical of the nacre lining the shells. The maximum diameter of the pearls is about . Because the shell valves of this species are so thin, it was beyond the competence of nineteenth century oyster culturists to use it for pearl production.

With modern techniques, seeding has become easier and Pteria penguin has joined Pteria sterna, another member of the genus Pteria, as being a major producer of cultured pearls. Most of the pearls produced by Pteria penguin are "mabé pearls", also known as bubble or half pearls, formed between the mantle and the shell valve and having one flattened side. The production of round pearls is possible but requires more advanced techniques in seeding. Naturally occurring spat can be collected on spat collectors for growing on into mature oysters, and there are some hatcheries producing spat on a commercial scale. These oysters are cultured on the Ryukyu Islands, along the southern coast of China, on Phuket Island in Thailand and on Vava'u in Tonga.
