Saves space - A traditional horizontal garden has boundaries and limitations. In a vertical garden - the sky's the limit to potential gardening space!
Healthier plants / Bigger harvest - Many plants are susceptible to soil borne diseases. Bringing the vines or plants up off the ground, decreases the risk of disease and improves the air circulation which contributes to a healthier plant and a larger bounty.
There are a lot of new vertical systems on the market - walls, stackable containers, hydroponic planters, etc... but I am more interested in the DIY versions.
Growing tomatoes vertically usually refers to using a trellis, arbor, or similiar structure to train or support indeterminate or "vining" tomatoes. Another option in growing tomatoes vertically would be using containers to free up the ground space. A "bush" or determinate variety is a better choice for container tomatoes because of its compact size (3-4' height). Most of the advantages of growing tomatoes in containers have to do with the ability to control of the quality of the soil. - The majority of tomato diseases are derived from a fungus, virus or other contaminant in the existing garden soil. Using a high quality "soil-less" growing medium in the container, will decrease the chance of diseased plants.
I started with a repurposed 5 gallon bucket (mine was a cleaned and rinsed empty liquid laundry container). Using a hole saw, I drilled a 3" hole in the bottom of the bucket. I also drilled additional "drainage" holes using a 1/2" drill bit.
Next I cut a circle out of landscape cloth to fit in the bottom of the bucket. - I cut an X in the cloth and pushed the young tomato plant through the bottom of the bucket's hole. I decided a "roma" tomato would be a good variety for the upside down container. - It's a determinate or compact plant with stronger stems.
I filled the bucket with a high quality "soil-less" growing medium and mixed in a slow release fertilizer. The top of the container was planted with a drought tolerant sedum (Sedum sarmentosum) to act as a living mulch.
The tomato started off great. - It looked healthy and was producing a lot of green fruit. Then around sometime in July - I forgot to water it for a few days and realized just how quickly the container would become completely dry. I thought the plant was beyond help, but with consistent watering it revived and I harvested tomatoes into September.
It's a great option for a limited space.
If you have poor soil, you might have better luck at growing tomatoes in containers. My property is full of Walnut trees and it's impossible to grow tomatoes. - Black walnut trees produce a toxin, juglone, that is released into the soil and the tomato plants develop "walnut wilt" and die.
Frequent watering depletes the nutrients in the soil.

Thanks for sharing this blog article.I am happy to know. custom essay writing service thank you so much for giving us a chance to have this opportunity! I will be back soon for updates.
I prefer growing tomatoes in my home garden instead of growing in pots. By the way, I like this idea!


well Bejing just like other big cities in China suffer from terrible smog and air pollution. We often experience similar smog over here in Germany and Europe. Thus not as intensive as people in China have to endure.
There is another interesting difference between China and Europe. It is the way how people react to this. Over here we protest, we demonstrate for better air. We criticize politics and companies and of course all those car drivers, who better could take the train in these days.
But we are not as creative as the Chinese are when you look at the wonderfully made masks.
Have a look and enjoy. But don`t forget, good air, healthy breathing is one important base to live on or to live by.

Q: Limits of sequences as continuous functions from certain topology on $\omega+1$ Let T be a topological space, $p\in T$ and $u_n : \mathbb{N}\to T$.
(Should be a well known fact): The point $p$ is a limit of $u_n$ iff $u_n^{-1}V$ is open for every neighbourhood $V$ of $p$, with cofinite topology on $\mathbb{N}$
(My thought): Can we extend the domain space such that such pairs $(u_n, p)$ correspond to continuous functions?
Consider the set $\omega +1$ with the topology consisting of empty set and $C \cup \{\omega\}$ for every cofinite $C$ in $\omega$.
Then a continuous function corresponds to a convergent $u_n$ and a limit of it at $u_\omega$, as should be easy to see.
Is this correct? Does this topology have a standard name? Is this part of something more general? On an intuitive side, seems strange to force $\omega$ to be in every set with a "tail", since in other spaces like extended real line we don't do this, which makes me think there is a better way to do this.

A: Yes, that is correct. The space $\omega+1$ has the order topology wrt the natural (ordinal) order where $\omega$ has its usual order $0 < 1< 2< \ldots$ and $n < \omega$ for all $n \in \omega$. Because $\omega$ is the maximal element of the ordered set its basic neighbourhoods are o  the form $(x,\omega]$ for $x < \omega$, so $x \in \omega$ so of the form $(n, \omega] = \{m \in \omega\mid m > n\} \cup \{\omega\}$, precisely the cofinite neighbourhoods you describe (tails, essentially).
The order topology for points of $\omega$ itself is discrete: $0$ has $[0,1), [0,2), \ldots$ as basic neighbourhoods (being the minimum element)< so that comes down to essentially $\{0\} = [0,1)$, while $n>0$ has a neighbourhood of interval form $(n-1,n+1)=\{n\}$ (true in $\omega$, not in $\Bbb R$ or $\Bbb Q$ of course), so all points of $\omega$ are isolated points, and any function/sequence defined on them is automatically continuous, and the special neighbourhoods of $\omega$ ensure that $n \to u_n, \omega\to p$ is only continuous as a function from $\omega+1$ to $X$ iff $\lim_n u_n = p$ (also true if the limit is not unique, as can happen).
$\omega+1$ is just a standard ordinal space in the order topology, but experienced topologists often call it "the convergent sequence", it's a sort of prototypical space for that for these reasons. In fact a space with "(non-trivial) convergent sequences" is one that contains a homeomorphic copy of $\omega+1$, e.g. Some famous examples (like $\omega^* := \beta \omega\setminus \omega$ are examples of large compact space without convergent sequences.
It's called countable Fort space on Wikipedia and in the book "Counterexamples in Topology" by Steen and Seebach. Or you can call it the one-point compactification of the countable discrete space if you prefer.

LDV Corporate History
The company LDV is dating back from 1915, when the present factory headquarters in Birmingham was owned by a known arms concern Vickers. During World War II it was the largest British arms and ammunition manufacturer.
Austin-Morris in 1926 ...
Cars manufacturing has started at the end of World War I when the production moved from the Wolseley and the factory switched to civilian cars production. In 1926, the company than called Wolseley Motors was sold, and the owner was Willian Morris. Between the wars there were then very successful MORRIS cars produced.
In the Second World War, the factory went back into weapons production / as well as eg. Rolls - Royce and Jaguar / produced Crusader tanks, cannons, parts of the Lancaster bombers and Supermarine Spitfire fighter planes.
After the world war II began in Birmingham production of light commercial vehicles MORRIS J, JU, J2, J4 and later Sherpa, and continued when the factory became part of the ROVER group, later British Leyland.
In subsequent reorganization, the group split into separate factories - LEYLAND , and their vans production was sold by the Dutch group DAF distribution, later under this mark was also sold as LDV 400 (Leyland-DAF Vans).
Pressing shop of 1938 ... Leyland-DAF 400 of 1990 ...
... and robotics in 1996 ...
By that time, LDV was a fully independent British car manufacturer with more than 1,400 employees and producing 350 cars a week in different versions for UK and global markets. In 1994, the automaker increased its capital by 23% and market share has increased by 16%.This meant increase in capital to invest in upgrading production lines, new technologies, and over 90% of the profits of the last two years the company focused on developing a new range of utility vehicles.
The program of LDV vehicles to the already mentioned range of Leyland-DAF400 (here known as the DAF 400) was launched in 1995, in 1996 when production of the Convoy began, with complete exterior and interior redesign, the vehicle was developed at cost of 30 million British pounds in collaboration with leading British firm Ricardo, which "silenced" the it under the tightened border EURO 2, followed by models of EURO3, and EURO4.
Production of all vehicles types has ended in 2006, when the complete factory was sold and closed.

Gaydamak's popularity ploy
The increasingly high-profile Gaydamak has said little so far about the connection between his political ambitions and very public acts of philanthropy.
By NATHAN BURSTEIN
gaydamak independence 88
In a move straight out of the Instant Popularity Playbook, billionaire immigrant Arkadi Gaydamak hosted a massive Independence Day concert free to the public Tuesday night in Tel Aviv. The increasingly high-profile Gaydamak has said little so far about the connection between his political ambitions and very public acts of philanthropy, but the concert grounds - festooned with signs for Gaydamak's recently formed Social Justice movement - indicated that the import/export tycoon has mastered the basic rules of orchestrating a successful high school-style bid for popularity. Rule #1 - Make sure you've got the prettiest girls involved, especially if you're not providing free alcohol. Model Yael Bar-Zohar and former MTV Europe VJ Eden Harel enthusiastically played the part Tuesday night, filling the air between musical acts with helpfully insipid, cheerleader-esque commentary such as "The fun has only just begun!" Rule #2 - Recruit as many cool kids as possible, and make sure the music is terrific. (Again, this is especially important if you're not providing free alcohol.) The line-up of stars for Gaydamak's party was truly impressive, with warm-up acts including pop stars Shiri Maimon, Shai Gabso and Sarit Hadad. (Any show at which Hadad is billed as just a warm-up act is going to be something out of the ordinary.) The concert also showcased no fewer than four "main" performances, starting with Ivri Lider and Ninet Tayeb for younger audience members and concluding with relative old-timers in the form of husband-and-wife duo Rita and Rami Kleinstein and the rock band Mashina. Rule #3 - Hope the party generates a little gossip so that people will still be talking about it - and you - after the fact. Tayeb, undeniably Israeli music's reigning prom queen, came the closest to providing a little post-party gossip, turning in a lackluster and occasionally eardrum-shattering performance that only highlighted the flimsiness of the singer's 2006 debut album. Rita, a deposed prom queen of decades past, no doubt took pleasure in showing up her younger counterpart, bringing to the stage the maturity and quality material Tayeb so painfully lacked. Rule #4 - Impress to the point of excess. You may be demonstrating your social-mindedness by donating the proceeds from food sales to "the needy," but why should that stop you from spending hundreds of thousands of shekels on a 25-minute fireworks display when a show half as long would have done the trick? Rule #5 - Don't forget the post-party clean-up. Tel Aviv concert-goers showed they have about as much respect for their surroundings as high school students at a kegger, leaving Hayarkon Park absolutely trashed by night's end. A few more stray wrappers and the place could have been mistaken for a landfill - a sad way to end a day devoted to celebrating the country. Rule #6 - Pray for some gratitude, or at least a bit of sustained goodwill. Israeli voters can be as opportunistic as high school students, happily coming to your party one day but snubbing you at school the next. Polls show that growing numbers of Israelis see Arkadi Gaydamak as an alternative to the country's current leadership, but there's little reason to think they won't lose interest in the non-Hebrew-speaking mogul just a few concert-free weeks into the future. An estimated 200,000 Israelis - an eye-catching mix of families, 20-somethings, the religious and the secular - turned out for Tuesday night's show. But without additional bread and circuses provided by Gaydamak, they'll likely soon be asking him the question once famously posed by an American pop star: What have you done for me lately?

@afishcalledmatt
Playboi Carti reveals who he listens to.
Playboi Carti's track "Magnolia" has taken the rap world by storm, so it's only fitting that fans get to know him a bit better.
He sat down with DJ A-Oh of Los Angeles' Real 92.3 to discuss a wide range of topics. One of the most revealing came when the question of influences cropped up. Playboi Carti included names like A$AP Rocky, JAY-Z and Kanye West in the list of those who have influenced him musically. He also says he knows all of them, going so far to call Kanye West a "genius" and a "great dude."
Later on, he had some advice for aspiring emcees who are trying to break into the game. Playboi told it like it is: "don't stop, keeping working and learn from all your mistakes." Truer words were never spoken.

Rarely played live. This song was intended to be released on Origin of Symmetry but had been written years before, having been played at both the Budstock and Plymouth Festivals in 1997. The song was recorded at the same session as Ashamed and Yes Please but was not issued on any Showbiz singles, including Sunburn where the other tracks surfaced. It was carried over to Origin Of Symmetry and remixed for inclusion but was removed as the band did not want to have too many entirely guitar-based songs on the album.
Nature_1's unusual title likely originated when the band began making demos of the song, at the time known as "Natural Disaster," when one demo could have been recorded as "nature_1.mp3" and a bandmember took a liking to this title. Whether or not a Nature_2 was considered for release is pure speculation.
The opening riff is similar to the solo of Hate This & I'll Love You, although it's difficult to say which came first.
An affection for someone that has gone too far.
A song about God, saying how he isn't even listening to what people are saying i.e. in their prayers.
Another leader who is destroying the world, such as in Take a Bow.
About a person who, despite his hard work to the world around him (trying to be #1), he is not acknowledged. Now he is in a rage. He now blames the world for his failure and has plots to create havoc and destroy the world around him to set things right.
About talking to the mirror, talking to yourself. Blaming yourself for all the bad things that have happened to you. Looking at the thing you've become-old, broken, cold; and this person is made by the world around you.
A rejection of the fashion of environmentalism ("sick of trying to please you"), personifying the Earth as being cold and uncaring; it kills people with earthquakes it cannot even feel so "why should I?" (engage in environmentalism). That the world has gone so wrong, Nature itself is a disaster.
Despite the fact that the song was written during or before 1997 very few live performances of this song exist. Of the three known 1997 setlists it appeared in all of them, possibly indicating the song was often played during this year. After then, however, the song was primarily played at acoustic gigs in 1999 and 2000. In 1999 the song is believed to have been played at least in November at two gigs. At the November 9th gig Matt claimed that the song was played for the very first time there, although this is impossible considering its early appearances. It was likely that he meant the first time it was played in its finished state.
After these November appearances and a brief acoustic performance in May 2000, there is no confirmed performance of the song until late 2000 when the band began preparing songs that would later be used during Origin of Symmetry sessions. The song was revived for an acoustic performance on October 15th 2000 and was played at most gigs from then on until the end of the year. Although it was not played after 2000, given the song's persistent appearance in later 2000 gigs it can be assumed that the band expected it would make it on the album.
Matt played the intro briefly at the Simulation Theory release party.
Too often and too cold But you aren't even listening 'cause you are just Too old to feel an earthquake Or too cool to even care But you aren't even listening So why should I?
Like a broken dam you're empty And all that's left are the sticks and stones That were built by other people And it really shows But you aren't even listening Because you are just Too old to feel an earthquake Too cool to even care But you aren't even listening So why should I?

Daisy Ridley Discusses Rey's Growth In The Rise of Skywalker
Robert Workman Wednesday, May 22, 2019
Rey has come a long way since her introduction in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. She's gone from a typical junk collector into a masterful would-be Jedi. Fans will see just how far she has come in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Daisy Ridley recently spoke with Vanity Fair about Rey's evolution, and embracing the Force. Apparently, there was a special look to use for that.
"I literally visualize it," explained Ridley. "When I was lifting rocks I was visualizing the rocks moving. And then I was like, 'Oh, my God, I made it happen!' And obviously there's loads of rocks on strings, so, no, I didn't. But I visualize that it's really going on."
There's a glimpse of such power in the newest trailer for The Rise of Skywalker, which is below. She runs in the desert as a First Order ship pursues her. Then she suddenly strikes, leaping into the air with lightsaber in hand, ready to deliver a devastating blow. Ridley had nothing but praise for this moment as well, showing off Rey's determination and focus.

"It's nice having that shot at the beginning of the teaser," added Ridley. "Because I think it's quite a good visual representation of where she is now: confident, calm, less fearful. It's still sort of overwhelming but in a different way. It feels more right – less than inevitable and more like there's a focus to the journey."
Vanity Fair also released a number of new images from The Rise of Skywalker. One that stands out is Rey facing off against Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) once again. This time around, she's more determined than ever to concluding their battle – a far cry from their skirmish in The Force Awakens.
Fans will have to wait a bit to see how it all unfolds, as Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker opens on December 20.

Three of Creative District Wilmington's city-wide mural projects have been huge successes, spanning the communities from Westside to Riverside. CDW is grateful to the residents and supporters of these projects — with a special shout-out to artists Corei and Crae Washington of Smashed Label, James Wyatt, and Eric Okdeh for their creativity and talent — their dedication to the projects is evident in the process.
Each mural began by engaging the residents of the community to join open conversations to express their ideas for the images. The artist then developed a design and presented it to the community for feedback and approval. Once the final image was established, the artist scaled the image to the size of the wall, breaking the image into multiple panels on special cloth, known as parachute cloth, for painting.
The community was then invited to attend the paint days — everyone was welcome, no experience was necessary! For this city-wide mural project, each mural community had 3 scheduled paint days in June. A "mural squad" of 10 dedicated local artists participated in all the community paint days, even the Mayor stopped by to add to the mix!
Two out of the three murals have been installed. The mural located at Kingswood Community Center will be installed by the end of July.
Dedication ceremonies for each mural will be announced soon!

This Is Who Is Going To Be Supporting Holding Absence On Their UK Tour Later This Year
Jack Rogers 11 January 2021 at 10.11
'The Greatest Mistake Of My Life' is hitting the road.
Holding Absence are set to release their new album 'The Greatest Mistake Of My Life' on April 16 via SharpTone Records. You should be excited for it.
The band will be celebrating its release with a tour of the UK in October and they are have now revealed who will be supporting them....
It's Yours Truly!
So you will be getting a bit of this:
And then a whole load of this:
Doesn't that sound lovely?
Here are the dates for ya:
28 - CARDIFF Y Plas
29 - OXFORD Academy 2
30 - BIRMINGHAM Institute 2
31 - SHEFFIELD Leadmill
02 - GLASGOW Garage 2
03 - NEWCASTLE Think Tank
04 - MANCHESTER Academy 3
06 - LONDON Electric Ballroom
We spoke to HA frontman Luca Woodland all about 'The Greatest Mistake Of My Life' last year. You can read the full piece right HERE but here's a little snippet:
So where did the concept that tied all of these pieces together come in? What is it about 'The Greatest Mistake Of My Life' that holds them together?
"Ironically I would say that the debut album has more of an actual story to it, but it's so on the nose. Comparatively, 'The Greatest Mistake Of My Life' is a collection of different stories that round up together in a very subtle and nuanced way. I think that's a key difference between the two. Yet you can still feel that the songs on this new album are still tangibly connected, but less clichéd.
"So, this is the story of this album. It was very early days and we had just worked on a couple of songs. In my Nan's living room we used to have a record player. As a kid I always thought it was cool that she had that there and she would sometimes play vinyl on there. So when we did the first album, the first thing I wanted to do was give that vinyl to my Nan. That felt like a really full-circle thing for me to do. I gave it to her and she said, 'Thanks love. This is now the second vinyl in our family'. I said, 'What do you mean?' and she said that my great uncle went into Cardiff one day and recorded himself singing. It was like the equivalent of a photo booth where they press it on a small 7' record and it would have been cheap as hell. She said that it was a song called 'The Greatest Mistake Of My Life'. So I quizzed her a bit more and all she could remember was the lyric, 'The greatest mistake of my life was saying goodbye to you'. I do this thing when life gives me poetry, I'll just put it in my phone. I'll keep this log of deep sounding words and phrases and see if I'll ever be able to use them.
"So I went home and typed that lyric into Google and a Gracie Fields song from 1939 came up. It was so old. It had like 100 views on the one video there was of it, and I remember thinking that through my great uncle that I've never even met I've stumbled upon something really special. Something about it just resonated. With the debut we had an issue with actually coming up with a title, so we wanted to come up with the title for this one as early as possible. So one night I told Scott all of this when we were on our way to a show and how this song had somehow found its way into my life. 'The Greatest Mistake Of My Life' just sounded like Album Two. So we really didn't have many songs written at all, but it felt right. Then we worked from there. The album then became 'The Greatest Mistake Of My Life' because we were working to that title."
So what does it mean to you in terms of your own experiences?
"I think for me, Holding Absence has such a way of saying things and expressing emotion. I have always loved the ambiguity of poetry and how something could mean so much to someone and nothing, or so much more, to someone else. For me, 'The greatest mistake of my life was saying goodbye to you' is such a pensive, hindsight driven thing. It's the sort of thing you think about on your deathbed after having lived a life. On top of that, connecting that emotion of someone else and that deep regret, that this person whoever they are could have lived their whole life in regret because of this one person they said goodbye to too soon. I just feel like in itself it feels like a Holding Absence lyric. I genuinely could have written that lyric. So just taking the inspiration from just that one lyric, I feel like I've been able to paint a whole universe. I've been saying that this album is about life in spite of death."

How else could you describe this?
The Daily Register of Harrisburg, Illinois has an article about how evolution (termed "change over time" by the Illinois State School Board of Education) is actually taught in local schools.
Correctly defining Intelligent Design as "a form of creationism which proposes that 'certain features of the universe and living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection,'" the paper surveys a number of schools as to when and how evolution is taught and if ID is offered as an alternative.
Most say that "change over time" is taught and that ID isn't (though one mealy-mouthed principal said that he "was unaware if the theory of intelligent design was being addressed by the high school science teacher").
But one principal stated:
[T]he theory of change over time was taught at the freshman to sophomore level in the science classes. The theory of intelligent design was presented as an "alternate belief system" and neither theory was given more emphasis as to validity.
And the name of that principal? ... Wait for it! ...
Karen Crank!
Chills, man, chills!
Annus Mirabilis
As National Public Radio said this morning "If you blink, you are going to miss a state that becomes the next state to recognize marriage for same sex couples."
Damn! I blinked!
New Mexico's Supreme Court has ruled that, based on its state constitution (making it immune to Federal court review but not to attempts to change its constitution), that "the State of New Mexico is constitutionally required to allow same-gender couples to marry and must extend to them the rights, protections, and responsibilities that derive from civil marriage under New Mexico law."
In Utah, a Federal judge has ruled that Utah's 2004 state constitutional ban of same sex marriage violates the Federal guarantees of Due Process and Equal Protection.
Both decisions shred the usual talking points of the bigots about same sex marriage. The Utah decision in particular takes on the claims that denying same sex marriage doesn't abridge gays' fundamental right to marry because they are still at liberty to marry a person of the opposite sex and that gays are really seeking a new right to same sex marriage, not access to an existing right. Both eviscerate the claim that marriage is or should be restricted to those who can "naturally" procreate.
The Utah decision can be, eventually, appealed to the Supreme Court but, beyond the excellent analysis of Judge Shelby in his decision*, the state will have to overcome the "sea change" in America itself. As NPR points out, at the beginning of the year, 14% of Americans lived in jurisdictions that permitted same sex marriage, at year's end that will be 38%. Jeffrey Toobin notes that the Mormon Church's reaction was "practically apologetic in its disagreement with the decision."
The Church has been consistent in its support of traditional marriage while teaching that all people should be treated with respect. This ruling by a district court will work its way through the judicial process. We continue to believe that voters in Utah did the right thing by providing clear direction in the state constitution that marriage should be between a man and a woman and we are hopeful that this view will be validated by a higher court.
It has been said that the Supreme Court decides cases on the law but, nonetheless, it reads the newspapers. Roe v. Wade may have been one of the very few cases where the court either didn't read the newspapers or misinterpreted them and got out ahead of where Americans were socially. The tea leaves are not nearly so hard to read now. I predict that, should the Utah decision reach the Supreme Court, it will be upheld and not by a bare 5-4 majority.
It has, in this small corner, been a miraculous year for human rights!
* As Jeffrey Toobin, in his New Yorker piece deliciously noted:
Shelby also took note of Scalia's dissent in this year's Windsor case, which struck down the Defense of Marriage Act. Scalia wrote, "the real rationale of today's opinion…is that DOMA is motivated by 'bare…desire to harm' couples in same-sex marriages. How easy it is, indeed how inevitable, to reach the same conclusion with regard to state laws denying same-sex couples marital status." Shelby noted dryly, "The court agrees with Justice Scalia's interpretation of Windsor."
Keep Saturn in Saturnalia!
It's that time of year again!
Happy Hanukkah!
Happy Kwanzaa!
Oh, heck ... let's just say it!
Uhhh ... Mat?
Mat Staver, head of the oxymoronic Liberty Counsel and dean of Jerry Fallwell's faux law school, is displaying his Freudian lingerie. Apparently, being gay is so fabulous that, if gay marriage becomes legal nationwide, everyone will soon be gay!
If you ultimately promoted same-sex marriage and everyone started to go towards same-sex marriage, what would happen to society? It would just simply cease to exist. Moreover, you'd have rampant increase in diseases. Already, you have rampant increase in diseases among same-sex activities, specifically men having sex with men. Same-sex marriage, same-sex relationships is destructive to individuals and it's destructive to our very social fabric.
Of course! We all know that there are hardly any straight people left in Massachusetts!
But it's all right, Mat! Just let your feelings out!
Both Jerry Coyne and PZ Mxyzptlk have touted a new Harris Poll of Americans that apparently shows, as Jerry puts it:
General religiosity is declining and "not at all religious" status increasing, especially in the last 4 years.
Of course, Jerry goes on to say: "Could it be. . . . .those strident New Atheists?" and PZ would attribute it to the FFRF, American Atheists, American Humanists, Americans United, or your local freethinking group (and, tongue firmly in cheek, to Freethoughtblogs).
First of all, I should say that this trend, especially if it is eating away at the influence of the toxic Religious Right on America, is a good thing.
But I wonder if otherwise skeptical scientists should be so quick to declare the cause of this social change which, if not seismic, is significant. I haven't tried to analyze the raw data, nor would I be capable of doing so. But neither have Jerry or PZ, at least on their blogs ... webesites ... whatever.
But if I was hunting for a correlation to another recent notable change in social attitudes that matched, timewise, this one, there is one that stands out: the change in attitudes toward gay rights and, especially, gay marriage. I suspect that we owe any reduction in religiousity to the over reaching of the Religious Right, beginning in 2004, on these issues, particularly as it coincided with the maturing of the "Millennials."
There can be little doubt that the amazingly quick national change in attitudes toward gay rights is fueled by people under 40. Just as that generation was in their teens and early twenties, when people naturally question their upbringing and parents' beliefs, the Religious Right launched their unreasoning and hateful campaign. Worse for them, AIDS was just then turning from a "death sentence" into a chronic condition that could be treated and controlled and fear and loathing was turning to sympathy. Also, more and more gays were "coming out," not just in the media, but to family and friends. It's harder to objectify people you like and love as "sinners" needing stoning to death. The Religious Right may have chosen just the "perfect storm" in which to set off on that sea trial.
And once you start to question the humanity and rationality of the religion you were brought up in, it's less hard to walk away altogether.
I, for one, suspect that any weakening of religious belief in America is chiefly due to the LGBT community ... and [cough] God bless 'em.
And one more thing ... the "accommodationists" [defined here as scientists and science supporters who told children that science and, particularly evolution, was not necessarily incompatible with religion, in hopes they would not dismiss it out of hand] also coincided with the Millennials. The "high water mark" of creationism was the mid-1980s, just at the beginning of the Millennial generation. The "New Atheists" (apparently now an acceptable term if we judge by Jerry) have told us often that "accommodation" has failed. They need much more data to credibly make that claim.
Social changes of these sorts are not the product of simplistic forces. It is much more likely that they come from a trickle that grew to a stream and, hopefully, will soon become a flood unlike any imagined by the bigots of the Religious Right.
Shocked?
Albert Mohler is shocked, shocked to find that polygamy is going on in here!
It seems that a Federal judge* has:
... ruled late Friday that part of the state's law prohibiting "cohabitation" — the language used in the law to restrict polygamous relationships — violates the First Amendment guarantee of free exercise of religion, as well as constitutional due process. He left standing the state's ability to prohibit multiple marriages "in the literal sense" of having two or more valid marriage licenses.
This is, according to the title of Mohler's article "Moral Mayhem Multiplied."
You mean that Abraham, Isaac, Solomon and (God's favorite) King David were committing moral mayhem?
Of course, the chief villain to Mohler is Justice Kennedy who, as the "swing" vote, thought that gays should not be imprisoned for consensual acts between adults and, since that was the case, we shouldn't have laws otherwise penalizing gays for what some states freely allow them to do. Talk about your moral mayhem ... allowing gays to have actual rights!!!
The funny part is this:
Of course, the moral revolution that has transformed marriage in our times did not start with the demand for legal same-sex marriage. It did not begin with homosexuality at all, but with the sexual libertinism that demanded (and achieved) a separation of marriage and sex, liberating sex from the confines of marriage. So sex was separated from marriage, and then sex was separated from the expectation of procreation** and child-rearing. Marriage was separated from sex, sex was separated from reproduction, and the revolution was launched.
Sex being separated from reproduction is the problem? The suit was brought by Kody Brown, who stars in "Sister Wives," the reality television show, and who, along with his four wives, has 17 children!
What? Isn't that enough reproduction for you, Al?
* The judge was appointed by George Bush the Lesser.
** To no one's surprise at all, the real wingnut complaint is contraception. God wants 'em barefoot and pregnant! Strangely, Kody seems to have fallen down on in that regard ... somehow.
If You Can Colbert It!
Michael Schulson at The Daily Beast has a nice summary of the creationist attempts to censor, as much as they can, evolution out of pubic school textbooks. The piece is called "When Creationists Collide with Stephen Colbert" and his "hook" is Don McLeroy's appearance, and savaging, on Stephen Colbert's show in April 2012. Colbert's money line was "I've always been a fan of reality by majority vote."
One good insight by Schulson is:
It wasn't just the defeat of explicitly Christian creationism that drove the rise of intelligent design; it was also lifted by favorable winds from certain corners of the secular university. Various academic movements in the humanities were emphasizing that scientific theories are constructed by humans—and that, as a result, biases and politics and other non-scientific factors might play some role in the formation of scientific theory. Maybe scientists were not quite as objective as they claimed. In this vein, Thomas Kuhn, a physicist-turned-philosopher, famously argued that science tends to be dominated by certain paradigms, each of which comes with a whole set of implicit premises and rules. These paradigms occasionally reach a point of crisis, when, burdended by their inherent limitations, they collapse and make way for a whole new way of conceptualizing the field.
Thinkers like Kuhn implied that change could come from unlikely quarters. Creationists needed to show that being on the fringe didn't mean being wrong, and that scientific authority wasn't as absolute as it seemed. It was an ideal match. Johnson—who originally wanted to title his first book on evolution Darwin Deconstructed—started writing about a Darwinist monopoly on knowledge, and about the difficult at arriving at objective truth, or at least objective truth not revealed by a divine being.
By taking these postmodernist insights to their extremes, Johnson and other intelligent design advocates can argue that, rather than religious people with a mission, they are scientific revolutionaries, boxed out by a politically-charged, biased community that will only gradually come to accept the radical reality of their ideas. To put is mildly, this is a massive stretch. But it lets them recast the whole conversation not as one of Bible vs. science, or of pseudoscience vs. science, but of one kind politicized science oppressing another.
This is, of course, why people like Steve Fuller wrecked their reputations in defense of ID.
And once mainstream academic science is seen as a political tool, then it starts to seem patently undemocratic. After all, scientific research is reserved to a highly trained elite. ...
Which is why, perhaps, we get public figures like McLeroy, who just dismiss the experts out of hand and choose their own science. It's all biased anyway—and look, we can vote on this. Our opinions matter. Who are you to tell us otherwise?
Or as McLeroy himself stated [see, 4:15 of the video]: "Someone has to stand up to experts ..."
Schulson is right, in a way, when he says:
Science advocates would do well to remember McLeroy the next time they respond to creationists, or vaccine-deniers, or climate skeptics with a barrage of facts, as if a bundle of correct information will somehow right those persistent wrongs. Sure, the scientific argument may be right. But in politics, being right isn't enough. Say what you want about postmodernism: in democracy, reality does come with a dose of social construction.
That doesn't mean we have to accept it or that it can't change. Think of the change that has come over the issue of same sex marriage in the last ten years and, particularly, among young adults. If we are persistent enough, if we show that these "experts" are just people like all the rest of us, who are honestly trying to do their best to make their and our world better, we can win not just the minds but the hearts of future generations.
Truth Detector
Bryan Fischer may be the most addled (or the most cynically deceptive) of the Religious Right wingnuts.
He was recently discussing, with all his usual historical and logical abilities ... none at all ... the 2010 Oklahoma law that permitted the erection of a 10 Commandments monument on the state capital grounds with the ... um ... fig leaf declaration that it doesn't amount to an endorsement of any religion but, rather, honors America's Judeo-Christian heritage and mandates that other such monuments be erected to stand beside it.
A group of (putative) Satanists have now requested permission to erect a monument as an "homage to the historic/literary Satan." Whether the ploys of the Oklahoma legislature or the Satanists will prevail is an open question (though at least one Supreme Court Justice believes that Satan is a real supernatural entity and, therefore, could conceivably be worshipped) but Fischer has the definitive answer in the video from Right Wing Watch above:
On his radio broadcast yesterday, Bryan Fischer spent two segments laying out his argument that, when the founders of this nation used the word "religion," what they really meant was "Christianity." As such, authorities in Oklahoma have every right to reject an effort by Satanists to erect a monument outside the Oklahoma Capitol building next to a monument of the Ten Commandments, Fischer said, because the Constitution's guarantee of the free exercise of religion was never intended to protect anything other than Christianity.
"If by 'religion,'" Fischer said, "the founders, and the founders of the state of Oklahoma, meant Christianity, then you can ban a monument to Satan because that's not Christianity ... You can say 'no, we're not going to let you do it. Our Constitution protects the free exercise of the Christian religion; yours is not a Christian expression, we're not going to have that monument.' If we don't understand the word 'religion' to mean Christianity as the founders intended it, then we have no way to stop Islam, we have no way to stop Satanism, we have no way to stop any other sort of sinister religion practice that might creep onto the fruited plains."
Now for some real history!
Thomas Jefferson drafted "The Virginia Act for Establishing Religious Freedom" in 1779, three years after he wrote the Declaration of Independence. However, the act was not passed by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia until 1786. The occasion for it's passage was that Patrick Henry introduced "A Bill Establishing A Provision for Teachers of the Christian Religion." Essentially, Henry's bill would have taxed citizens of Virginia to support the Christian denomination of their choice. Jefferson was, at the time, away serving in France as the American ambassador but Henry's bill so alarmed James Madison (later the chief architect of the Bill of Rights) that, after some political machinations, caused him to write "A Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments." The upshot was Henry's bill was tabled, and in its place the legislature enacted Jefferson's Bill for Religious Liberty.
So, with that as background, what did Jefferson and Madison, certainly among the most important "Founders," and, in Madison's case, the most important of the Founders of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, think about any claim that "religion" in the First Amendment only referred to Christianity?
From Madison's "Memorial and Remonstrance":
Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other Religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other Sects? ...
[E]xperience witnesseth that eccelsiastical establishments, instead of maintaining the purity and efficacy of Religion, have had a contrary operation. During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.
And Jefferson, reflecting back in his Autobiography, said this about the passage of his bill:
Where the preamble declares that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed, by inserting the word "Jesus Christ," so that it should read "a departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion." The insertion was rejected by a great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of it's protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahometan, the Hindoo, and infidel of every denomination.
Thus, the Founders of the United States had already thrashed out this issue and had no intention to designate Christianity as the one and only religion that the First Amendment covered. Fischer is a moron or is playing one on the radio to advance a deeply un-American agenda of Christian theocracy.
An amusing postscript to this is that Fischer has declared that his God-given role in life is as "the truth detector." In a way, he may be right. Take anything Fischer says and the opposite is likely to be the truth.
Requiescat In Pace
Oh, Please! Oh, Please! Oh, Please!
Alan Keyes is "threatening" to form a far right religious party:
From Obamacare to immigration, from enslaving Obamacare mandates to feckless foreign policy debacles, the GOP leaders have been either complicit, supine, or AWOL. They have also shamelessly declared political war on GOP U.S. senators and representatives who have honestly tried to represent the intense opposition to socialist tyranny simmering hot amongst the voters. ...
[T]oo many people remain tragically blind to, or apathetic about, the truth that is the key to thwarting Obama's anti-American putsch. Tyrannical socialism would have no chance of overthrowing the citadel of America's liberty except for the consistent and increasingly bold cooperation of the forces that dominate what is supposed to be the Republican opposition.
In the 19th century, Abraham Lincoln and many others prominent in the rise of the original Republican Party started their political careers as members of the Whig Party. When the Whigs refused to confront the challenge of expanding slavery, or promote the policies needed to exploit the nation's opportunities for economic development, these political leaders left the Whig Party. They accepted the task of representing the voters the Whigs refused to heed.
In our day, where are the political leaders with enough foresight, integrity, and courage to accept the task of effectively representing the voters the GOP's elitist faction leaders are betraying? People like Mitch McConnell and John McCain clearly regard these voters with disdain. They portray authentically American conservative voters as cretins, who deserve to have no choice in politics that truly represents their faith in God and their allegiance to their country's God-acknowledging principles.
As one of the chief cretins, Alan, I sincerely hope you lead some significant percentage (about 3-4 % would be good) off into a quixotic third party. The big donors won't follow, of course. They'll continue to fund the establishment Republicans, who will be glad to be rid of the crazies, while hedging their bets with the Democrats, who are almost as business-friendly as the Republicans. The Tea Party politicians will be jettisoned or co-opted and Congress will get back to the business of amicable compromise through swapping ways to enrich themselves and their donors at the expense of all the rest of us.
Not much will really change but the babble and crazy will subside back to the good ol' days when everyone ignored the John Birch Society.

These instructions are for the Doctoral Programme In Energy Systems (all research fields) and for the Doctoral Programme in Engineering Science (research fields of Computational Science, Green Chemical Technology and Technical Physics).
Research field studies, minimum 20 ECTS cr: postgraduate-level studies, e.g. doctoral courses offered by doctoral programmes or doctoral training networks.
Studies supporting the research field, 0-20 ECTS cr (so that min. total 40 ECTS cr is achieved): including at least one course on scientific writing and publishing is recommended (e.g. KIEN0020 English Clinic for Researchers and Doctoral Students).
Course descriptions are available in WebOodi study guide, please see instructions and futher information on education and training here.
One type of study attainment is to take examinations on scientific literature on the research area. When delivering the preliminary study plan as an attachment to the application, it is enough to give the general subject field of the literature in addition to the ECTS credits and how the content will be examined. 40-70 pages usually corresponds to 1 ECTS credit but also the difficulty level of the content affects the number of credits given.
Other scientific study attainments can include e.g. conferences or seminars.
Conferences from the student's own discipline can be used as a study attainment at the discretion of the supervisor. A maximum of 4 ECTS credits (2 ECTS cr/conference) may be included in the doctoral degree, provided that the conference had a review board and the student gave a presentation. The study attainment may not be included in an article-based dissertation.
Please note! After August 1, 2014 the postgraduate study plan for studies in the research field of Green Chemical Technology cannot include credits from conferences. This is applied to the doctoral students accepted after the date below.
Seminars that the organiser (university, doctoral programme) offers to its doctoral students are commonly accepted in the ECTS credit extent defined by the organiser.
University pedagogy studies offered by LUT University (only in Finnish, 25 ECTS credits) may be included in supporting studies as a module of 4 ECTS credits. However, the final decision on the suitability of such studies for doctoral studies is made by the supervisor and the head of the doctoral programme.


Is the Tide Turning Against a Culture of Life?
Terri Schiavo is a test case for what President George W. Bush, following Pope John Paul II, calls the "culture of life." Not that she wanted to be, poor woman. Though she leaves the ranks of the living, she will remain in the ranks of the fought-over.
The phrase "culture of life" refers to the Bible: "I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life" (Deuteronomy 30:17). Whose life? In what circumstances? How many blessings and cursings accompany the choice? These are the questions that arise when prophecy encounters law and politics.
The hardest case for the culture of life is capital punishment. Some of those who wanted Terri Schiavo to live were distressed that President Bush could not simply reach down and pardon her. He couldn't do that because of her innocence; pardons are for the likes of Marc Rich, not for the guiltless. But the culture of life, in its most aggressive form, wants to save the guilty, too. The week before Easter, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops launched a campaign to abolish the death penalty in the United States. (President Bush parts from the culture of life on this point.) There is a long rap against the death penalty, based on bungled convictions and last-minute rescues by DNA tests. But the nub of the opposition to capital punishment is unwillingness to inflict the ultimate penalty. The Catholic bishops would maintain Brian Nichols, the Atlanta murderer, and Osama bin Laden on the public tab to the end of their natural days. They say they would do it from respect for life, but protecting multiple murderers pushes respect for life so far that it turns on itself. Whether the bishops have a sneaking fascination with the bloody man who does what they dare not, or a Graham Greene-ish contempt for the merely law-abiding who supply his victims, only their confessors know.
Abortion is a much easier argument for the culture of life to make, though in fact it runs into the greatest political difficulties. The unborn are pure potential. The world is all before them, as it was before Milton's Adam and Eve when they left paradise. The mere betting man, leave aside theologians, would let a fetus have his shot. In practice, however, a laissez-faire policy towards the unborn requires another human being, the mother, to set aside a chunk of her life, which is a powerful contrary interest. So abortion has been legal all these years, though pro-lifers keep up the struggle against it.
The Schiavo case threw us into the middle ground of the ailing. When are the crippled and the old as good as dead? When, therefore, can we kill them without a qualm? Our motives in these matters are partly aesthetic. From Homer to Hollywood, our civilization has valued beauty and strength. We turn away from ugliness and weakness, and we turn away, even more sharply, from the thought of being ugly and weak ourselves. Robert Conquest put it best in the last line of his limerick on the seven ages of man.
Then sitting in slippers; then drooling.
Allied to our sense of aesthetics is our pride in self-reliance. Worse even than drool is the inability to wipe it away. Urine, feces, snot-didn't we gain control over those decades ago? Yet here they come again, back by no popular demand. We fear dependence on the kindness of relatives or-what is more likely in nursing homes-of strangers.
Suffering is the final chapter of our anxiety, though you would think that a pharmaceutical industry that can make Mark McGuire hit 70 home runs in a single season could also blunt any raging pain. There is no pill for the mental suffering of anticipation, however.
Science gives us no answers. It is a demented long-distance runner, madly striking problems and solutions with each alternating stride. Scientists wrest years from death, then scramble to make them bearable.
The interests of the baby boomers-me and, very likely, you-tug in contrary directions. They are now watching their parents, the greatest generation, fade away. They have seen plugs pulled; they have pulled them. On the other hand, they may not relish the thought of Generation X bundling them off before their time. If we don't fix the Social Security system, Generation X's reserves of human charity will be more than usually depleted.
For years, family doctors and hospitals have made discreet use of the kindly overdose of morphine. But law is uncomfortable operating in the shadows. Where should its lines be drawn? Politics can teach us nothing about moral philosophy, but it does train us in figuring out who is winning, who is losing. When we look at the dynamics of life and death, which side is sweeping all before it? Is it the Christians praying in the street outside Terri Schiavo's hospice? Is it Congress, whose two-party system is the serious and the showboaters? Is it George and Jeb Bush? Or is it a handful of medical experts, and the judges who heed them? Two branches of the federal government wrapped themselves in awesome majesty to save a woman's life, but the bench held firm. In Europe, the tide is even stronger. The Dutch practice euthanasia so briskly that they will kill themselves even before the Islamists get around to it.
Slippery-slope arguments are the poor relatives in the family of disputation; real logicians, we feel, have no truck with such stuff. But politicians make them all the time. The Declaration of Independence is a slippery-slope argument: George III's "repeated injuries and usurpations" have "in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny"; if absolute tyranny had been already established, Jefferson couldn't be writing. Better stand with the losing side on this one. Make your own arrangements, but keep the law as far away as possible.

Krul retains place as Holland trim squad ahead of triple-header

Norwich City number one Tim Krul has retained his place in the Holland squad, after new boss Frank De Boer trimmed down the initial 38-man squad ahead of three matches.
The 32-year-old remains in the squad alongside fellow keepers Jasper Cillessen of Valencia and Marco Bizot of AZ Alkmaar - with former Canaries midfielder Leroy Fer among those to drop out from the initial selection, who plays for Feyenoord now.
Krul was recalled in March for the first time since October 2015, when he had suffered a serious knee injury while on international duty, but those games were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
He was voted Player of the Season by City fans and kept his place despite Premier League relegation but was kept on the bench during two Nations League games in September.
He will hope to add to his eight caps in a home friendly against Mexico on Wednesday (7.45pm UK time), followed by Nations League games in Bosnia & Herzegovina on Sunday, October 11 (5pm) and in Italy on Wednesday, October 14 (7.45pm).

Big increase in online bidding for heavy equipment during coronavirus
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Ritchie Bros. is temporarily holding all its auctions via the internet and the company says it is currently seeing "unprecedented" online participation.
Auctions, Used Equipment, Rental & Finance / April 28, 2020
Equipment at the Ritchie Bros. auction site in Maltby, UK
Despite all of its physical locations being closed for the near future, Ritchie Bros. says businesses are continuing to buy equipment at its auctions in great numbers.
Over the last two decades, the company says it has invested heavily in technology and saw a steady increase in internet participation at its auctions. In 2019 it sold us$5.1bn (approximately €4.6bn) worth of machinery, tractors and trucks to both on-site and online bidders.
It has developed new online bidding features and products, such as the Ritchie Bros. mobile app. Seventy-eight per cent of winning bids is now placed via the website or app.
In March, three of the company's European auctions were held as online Timed Auctions - a bidding system with multiple days of bidding and auction items that close on a set day and time. These Timed Auctions were held in France, the UK, and Germany, and featured more than 5,300 auction lots sold on behalf of 460 equipment owners. Ritchie Bros. registered 6,200 bidders, more than half of them from abroad.
"March auctions have shown massive online participation from all over the world and achieved strong selling prices," said Jeroen Rijk, MD at Ritchie Bros. "Although it's strange and uncertain times for our industry, there's still a lot of projects around the world being carried out. Businesses are looking for places where they can safely buy equipment that is quickly available to them."
Notable sales at the March auctions included a Caterpillar 320EL hydraulic excavator that sold at the Gaillon (France) auction for €83,000 to a bidder from Austria, Volvo EC220EL hydraulic excavator that sold at the Maltby (UK) auction for €56,000 to a bidder from Poland, and a John Deere 8345R tractor that sold at the Meppen (Germany) auction for €135,000 to a Romanian bidder.
Ritchie Bros. started auctions in Meppen, Germany in 2004. The Meppen auction in March was entirely held online and broke a record with 2,920 bidders - a 40% increase compared to the same auction in 2019.
"We usually have a pretty good idea what the selling price will be at a regular Ritchie Bros. onsite auction," said Jan Kees Kloosterman of Dutch earthmoving & contracting company Kloosterman BV, which sold equipment at a recent online auction. "Initially I was a bit hesitant now with the coronavirus, but we saw a strong international participation with the online-only auction, and it helped us get good results. We immediately added more equipment items to another auction in April."
Ritchie Bros. says that visits to its website and web account creations have recently increased by 15% and 19% respectively. Its mobile app users have risen perhaps even more drastically, up 90% year over year.
The next online auction in the UK with see bidding open on 12 June, closing on 18 and 19 June, depending on the individual lots.

The central postulate for XQ is that there is another side to maths, a side that is not concerned with modelling things (cf this side of maths). The processes of counting, arithmetic, algebra, calculus, recursion have correlates in the concurrent processes of consciousness (cf subjective methodology). The purpose of exploring XQ is not simply an intellectual endevour however interesting it might be, but the intention is to offer a means of bridging west and east through the medium of mathematics, the two great traditions of western science (cf boundaries of science) and eastern meditation (cf buddhist prescription).

Britney Spears, Jeffree Star and More! Behold Tana Mongeau's Epic Halloween Costumes Over the Years
Oct 30, 2020 9:45 am·
By Life & Style Staff
When it comes to dressing up for All Hallows' Eve, Tana Mongeau does not — and we repeat, does not — mess around!
The popular YouTuber is notorious for stepping out on the spookiest day of the year in clever, hilarious and somewhat (OK, more than somewhat) scandalous Halloween costumes. In fact, sometimes the former reality TV star combines all three! Ahem, sexy David Dobrik.
Ahead of October 31, 2019, Tana took to Twitter to poll her fans on what she should dress up as. "What slutty Halloween costumes [are you trying] to see this year?" the Las Vegas native wrote. Naturally, her fans had some pretty, er, interesting suggestions.
Here are a few of our favorites: "Slutty Juul," "a slutty bride," "slutty Peppa Pig" and perhaps the most on-brand of all, "slutty Jake Paul." Unfortunately, Tana didn't step out in any of those. However, there's always this #Halloweekend, right?
Tana Mongeau Changed So Much Since Her Early YouTube Days
Ultimately, even when the OnlyFans creator isn't celebrating Halloween, her mission is to dance to the beat of her own drum … no matter what anyone has to say about it! "I have a young following and it's definitely primarily female," Tana previously explained to Life & Style.
"I always want to empower those young girls to do whatever they want with their bodies and to make their decisions and not let anyone take that away from them, especially men," she added. Nowadays, Tana is more focused than ever on her career. However, that doesn't mean her love life is no longer making headlines.
In the last year, Tana has been romantically linked to Too Hot to Handle stars Francesca Farago and Harry Jowsey, as well as singer Noah Cyrus. That said, it looks like she's staying single and ready to mingle while she waits for The One.
"I think I'm definitely at a point in my life where if the connection isn't worth giving up so much of my time and my energy and stuff like that, it's probably not something I'm going to want to explore," Tana expressed. We hear you, girl.
Scroll through the gallery below to see all of Tana Mongeau's epic Halloween costumes over the years!

Paris Hilton Circa 'The Simple Life'
Tana and her BFF Ashly Schwan totally nailed their Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie à la The Simple Life costumes.

Tana and her Ashly dressed up as Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner at the 2019 Met Gala.
Britney Spears circa 2001
Tana and her on-again, off-again boyfriend Jake absolutely nailed their Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake costumes. In case you live under a rock, these are the iconic all-denim ensembles the former flames wore to the 2001 VMAs.
Tana and Jake? More like Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson.
Sexy Pope
Is it a little sacrilegious to dress up as The Pope? Yes. But we appreciate Tana's sexy take on the look, nonetheless.
"Xans gon' betray you," Tana captioned this selfie from Lil Xan's hit single, "Betrayed." The reason this costume is so epic — aside from the incredibly accurate face tattoos — is because Tana and Xan dated briefly before the rapper allegedly cheated on her.
Sexy David Dobrik
"Tweet me at Slutty Dobrik," Tana captioned this hilarious snapshot of her sexy David Dobrik costume. We mean, if David were ever spice up his look, this is exactly what it would be.
Sexy In-N-Out Server
Given that Tana was born and bred in Las Vegas, In-N-Out is definitely her go-to burger spot. Kudos to her for paying homage to the burger chain with this sexy costume. "Did you want fries with that?" she captioned the photo. Yes, Tana, we would … duh.
"I think I always dress as a schoolgirl cause I dropped out," was Tana's message for this costume. PSA: While we don't recommend dropping out of school, we're happy it worked out for Tana.
Scary "Instagram Hoe"
Tana captioned this sizzling, yet spooky snap, "I'd like to call this look: 'Your favorite Instagram hoe after she gets lip injections.'" Honestly, we have no words.
"Mongeau Siwa"
Tana received quite a bit of backlash over her JoJo Siwa costume — which, by the way, was originally captioned "HOE HOE SIWA." However, the former Dance Moms star made it clear that she approved of the look.
Seed of Chucky/Gentle Glen
A group costume for the win! Tana went as the Seed of Chucky/Gentle Glen alongside Bella Thorne and her then-boyfriend Mod Sun, who dressed as Chucky and the Bride of Chucky.
