Energy & Digital Living
Energy and Digital Living is based on the sensory and digital ethnography methodologies and design research at Loughborough University, UK, as part of the EPSRC funded LEEDR project.
Energy and Digital Living website aims to disseminate both the ethnographic findings and design interventions developed from the work, as well as the digital-sensory ethnography methodology that was developed as a way of researching energy and digital media in the home. There are a number of articles published that take the ideas developed on the web site into more theoretical depth. These are linked to the site.
The site is intended to be used by scholars and practitioners from different disciplines who are interested in this field, researchers and designers interested in video methods and digital-sensory ethnography practice and in interdisciplinary work, and has the potential to be used for teaching around a number of areas.
Dawn O'Neill AM: Collective Impact and Social Change – a challenge and an opportunity for the Service Design community.
Collective Impact is a philosophy, a framework, an approach that is being applied to address many complex social problems in the US, UK, and now in Australia. The event, in conjunction with RSA A+NZ, will show how Collective Impact can facilitate long lasting social change by bringing cross-sector organisations together to focus on a common agenda. Dawn O'Neill AM will highlight where Service Design can play an intrinsic role in dealing with the wicked problems that beset all these initiatives and how design can contribute to facilitating improvements and better outcomes for the organisations and the people and communities they serve.
Dawn O'Neill, previously the CEO of beyondblue and Lifeline Australia, was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for services to the community and to Mental Health in 2009. Dawn currently provides business coaching and consulting to social sector leaders in collaborative and participatory change with a particular focus on Collective Impact. She is also the Chair of STREAT, an innovative homelessness social enterprise, a Director of Ten20 a newly formed venture philanthropy organisation sup-porting community based, collective impact initiatives and a Director of Big White Wall an innovative on line mental health and wellbeing service.

GovCamp is about more than events – it's an invitation is to be part of an ongoing conversation to inspire and shape new opportunities for public innovation.
It is an opportunity to talk with a mix of people – from inside and outside government, from the worlds of technology and policy, of community and universities – to talk about shaping an agenda for innovation and to make a start on that agenda.
This is a call to people who want to come a be part of a conversation about innovation in government.
GovCamp is for people like you
Public sector practitioners, advisers and leaders who are excited by these challenges, who seek to better understand the risks and opportunities within emerging trends.
There are no clever corporate games; just dialogue and an open exchange of ideas. It's a Saturday. It's free time, casual and as "off-the-record" as you need. And because it's shared conversation, you'll take away even more than you contribute.

Project status: Ongoing
Partners: Municipal Association of Victoria, Design Managers Australia
The Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) is a primary professional body representing a total of 79 local councils, which provides essential community services to a population over five and a half million people in Victoria. As a major representative of government sector service providers, MAV is confronting a range of urgent social policy and service delivery issues. For instance, community safety is a priority area that includes critical services for vulnerable and marginalised groups, such as preventing violence against women and protecting vulnerable youth. The social and economic implications that arise from these priority areas continue to challenge councils, with local governments burdened with significant costs and reducing their ability to affect meaningful change (MAV 2013). This project aims to explore one facet of the complex challenges faced by MAV and its capacity to deliver effective healthcare services to communities in Victoria. It intends to understand these complex environments that are in flux and examines how to design a human-centred service delivery process that is agile and effective for the communities they serve. It is important to understand the current and future make-up of communities who receive services. Such an understanding can help to shape how services are delivered, how to address the needs of the community and plan for change in the long term. The project aims to directly contribute to this understanding by designing a process that will enable a more efficient and effective delivery service to engender a culture of responsive governance.
Design for social innovation is carving out new frontiers of knowledge in service delivery. It is an approach that invites people to be active participants in the design process. As such, MAV staff and selected community members will be involved in service design workshops. As a major industry partner on this project, Design Managers Australia (DMA) will play a key role in assisting this design process, bringing their professional design expertise in public sector policy. DMA and MAV have a strong association and history, having worked closely together to deliver effective outcomes in the area of maternity and child healthcare policy. This unique blend of expertise provides an opportunity to build on this relationship and broadens its scope in the ongoing work to strengthen the provision of essential services to Victoria's most vulnerable communities.
"The Australian Public Service (APS) is increasingly being tasked with solving very complex policy problems. Some of these policy issues are so complex they have been called 'wicked' problems. The term 'wicked' in this context is used, not in the sense of evil, but rather as an issue highly resistant to resolution.
Successfully solving or at least managing these wicked policy problems requires a reassessment of some of the traditional ways of working and solving problems in the APS. They challenge our governance structures, our skills base and our organisational capacity.
It is important, as a first step, that wicked problems be recognised as such. Successfully tackling wicked problems requires a broad recognition and understanding, including from governments and Ministers, that there are no quick fixes and simple solutions.
Tackling wicked problems is an evolving art. They require thinking that is capable of grasping the big picture, including the interrelationships among the full range of causal factors underlying them. They often require broader, more collaborative and innovative approaches. This may result in the occasional failure or need for policy change or adjustment.
Wicked problems highlight the fundamental importance of the APS building on the progress that has been made with working across organisational boundaries both within and outside the APS. The APS needs to continue to focus on effectively engaging stakeholders and citizens in understanding the relevant issues and in involving them in identifying possible solutions.
The purpose of this publication is more to stimulate debate around what is needed for the successful tackling of wicked problems than to provide all the answers. Such a debate is a necessary precursor to reassessing our current systems, frameworks and ways of working to ensure they are capable of responding to the complex issues facing the APS."

We had the immense pleasure in hosting Stefan's talk on service design.
Stefan Holmlid is associate professor at the Human-Centered Systems and is heading the Interaction and Service design research group. His current research projects make a deep dive into the realms of services, especially concerning the expressive powers of design methods and techniques in service development and service innovation, such as co-creative practices in service prototyping. The idea that design objects and design materials can be both dynamic, active and that the design is co-created "in use", drive his research of relevant theoretical grounding for design, inspire his design research on materials, and challenges the way we understand how to prototype design objects for user involvement. He is a co-founder of the the international Service Design and Service Innovation conference, ServDes, the Service Design in Tourism conference, and the International Service Design Network.
Associate Professor Stefan Holmlid (Linköping University) & Dr Gavin Melles (Swinburne University) gratefully acknowledge their joint STINT (Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education) Initiation Grant (IB2012 4052) in Service Design and Design Education for funding A/P Holmlid's visit to Melbourne.

Sarah used Myki's (Melbourne public transport system) complex problem as a context to introduce some of Snook's service design processes to the participants.
Sarah focuses on making social change happen by re-thinking public services from a human perspective. With a Masters of Design Innovation from Glasgow School of Art, Sarah is a social entrepreneur, unashamedly proving the value of design in central government and defining a meaningful role for designers in the public sector. Her work challenges the role design can play within the public sector, and as the winner of the first Scottish Social Innovation Camp, Sarah is ambitiously challenging the way governments operate and make policies through initiatives such as MyPolice.
As a fellow of Google, Sarah has a flair for using technology as an enabler and thrives leading processes of change, putting design at the heart of organisations and complex systems.
Prior to being the Director of Snook, Sarah won £20,000 for a community in Glasgow by giving local people the tools and confidence to build their own social enterprise. She also spent a year working inside Skills Development Scotland alongside their Service Design and Innovation Directorate to embed the design process in their organisation.
Sarah's service design expertise and public sector innovation knowledge has recently taken her to keynote in Taiwan, Australia and America.
Sarah Drummond is the Co-founder and Director of Service Design Social Innovation outfit Snook, based in Scotland, UK. Her talk focused on public realm service design and Snook's approach to designing new futures with citizens and governments. For example, Do-tanks for governments can use design thinking techniques and service design process as a way to innovate public services and turn policy into action in their own countries. Snook see service design as a powerful tool to solve complex social issues and designing new futures.
Sarah covered what service design is from Snook's perspective, highlighting core principles of how they work. Various project examples demonstrated how they design inside the system (eg. Redesigning the Post 16 Learner Journey with Scottish Government) and from outside the system (eg. The Matter). Ideas such as Jams and Idea Labs are way to solve problems and collaborate across sectors. Sarah will discuss the mindset shifts needed to move towards a design-led approach to social innovation.

DESIS-lab Melbourne hosted an evening of panel discussion to debate overlapping topics of design, ethics, public services and the agency of design in enabling social innovation.

David Hood: Doing: Something Good
As in the ABC 1 TV, 'QandA' panel discussion series, we asked attending participants to submit questions prior to the day. Below were those that were submitted, providing meaty food for thought.
In this era of social networking, it can be argued that society and community has become a market. For instance, social networking sites rely on users disclosing personal information that can be sold to advertisers. How can the ethical designer create online projects that are successful but don't exploit users? One way is for designers to acknowledge in whose interests they work.
How do we design with people where differences and diversity can be productive, rather than be seen as an obstacle? How do we then demonstrate 'equity' and participation?
What in the education or experience of the designer supports designers to understand the ethics/responsibilites of working with diverse stakeholder groups on projects that seek to effect change?
It is possible that the zeal of designers to enter the social innovation space could see them imposing their wish for involvement on society where there is no specific interest from a community?
There is also the issue of social innovation projects that are more social entrepreneurship and where the project initiator seeks to simultaneously effect change and set up a business. What are the ethics of involving others as volunteers in such activities?
When trust for government is breaking down, what is the role of community-led organisations, social media network clusters – how are they practicing participation? Who does the designer advocate on behalf of, and how do they practice voicing and practicing through their designing?
What promises do we make as designers when we design in this space?
What kinds of designers does this area attract? What had motivated you and what keeps you going?
Practices which encourage Social Innovation and Sustainability offer different ways to think about designers and design agency – how do you see this effecting design education here in Australia?
In terms of the particular examples or tactics for social innovation and sustainability, is it important for these to actually be effective and/or sustainable or is it 'the thought that counts'?
Herbert Simon famously wrote about design as a practice which enables 'a move from the actual to the preferred'. Do you think that ideas for social innovation and sustainability have a similar understanding of design's role, and if so, who's 'preferences' do those ideas aim to meet?
One of DESIS's main activities is to find existing ideas for 'Social Innovation and Sustainable Practice' and facilitate the uptake of those ideas more broadly and in other locations. Could this be interpreted as an attempt at developing social 'pattern languages'? and does it come with a possible danger of outcomes and projects being applied out of context?
This event is being funded by the Design Research Institute, RMIT University

Social Innovation for a less-stuff-heavy-world
I will present social innovation as the polar opposite of technical innovation – where the designer as agent aims to change the world by organising people into an activity ecosystem. Technical innovation focuses on behaviour change by inserting technological and/or material artefacts that enable, nay constrain, people to do things differently. The studio in social innovation may look at a social problem such as "alcohol fuelled violence in small town Australia" or at enabling cultural vehicles such as "guerilla retail" where designer-makers engage with their customers in high energy obscure and poky locations. Often these studios are set up to challenge and provoke students, who in turn are challenged to provoke and massage groups of people/ communities into sustainable enterprises that steer clear of the mainstream market economy. Run in collaboration with College of Business, the social innovation solution gets taken further forward from the scenarios on posters to action planning in the form of Business Plans. Collectively the focus of the Social Innovation Studio is on a world where this is less 'stuff' – and where needs and wants are met through social and communal – coops, communes, collectives, organisms and crucially, the construction of vehicles for individual activism.
The latest example of developing 'activism' is this student collective I have nurtured through 2011

Susan Adele Greenfield, Baroness Greenfield, CBE, HonFRCP (born 1 October 1950) is a British scientist, writer, broadcaster, and member of the House of Lords. Her research has focused on the treatment of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. She is also interested in the neuroscience of consciousness  and the impact of technology on the brain.
Greenfield is Senior Research Fellow at Lincoln College, Oxford University  and was Professor of Synaptic Pharmacology. From 2005 to 2012, she was also Chancellor of Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh between 2005 and 2013. From 1998 to 2010, she was director of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. In September 2013, she co-founded the biotech company Neuro-bio Ltd, where she is Chief Executive Officer.
Susan Adele Greenfield was born to a Jewish father and a Christian mother in Hammersmith, London. Her mother, Doris (née Thorp), was a dancer, and her father, Reginald Myer Greenfield, was an electrician.
She attended the Godolphin and Latymer School, where she took A levels in Latin, Greek and ancient history, and maths. The first member of her immediate family to go on to university, she was initially admitted to St Hilda's College to read Philosophy, Psychology and Psychiatry, graduated with a first degree in experimental psychology. As a Senior Scholar at St Hugh's College, Oxford, she completed her DPhil degree in 1977 under the supervision of Anthony David Smith on the Origins of acetylcholinesterase incerebrospinal fluid. She then held a junior research fellowship at Green College, Oxford between 1981 – 1984.
Greenfield's research is focused on brain physiology, particularly on the brain mechanisms of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, but she is also known as a populariser of science. Greenfield has written a range of books about the brain, regularly gives public lectures, and appears on radio and television.
Since 1976, Greenfield has published some 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals, including studies on the basic brain mechanisms involved in addiction and reward,i.e. relating to dopamine systems and related neurochemicals. She investigated the brain mechanisms underlying ADHD as well as the impact of environmental enrichment.
In 1994, she was invited to be the first woman to give the Royal Institution Christmas Lecture, then sponsored by the BBC. Her lecture was titled "Journey to the centre of the brain". She was appointed Director of the Royal Institution in 1998,. The post was abolished in 2010. The Royal Institution had found itself in a financial crisis following a £22m development programme led by Greenfield and the Board. The project ended £3 million in debt. Greenfield subsequently announced that she would be taking her employers to an employment tribunal and her claim would include discrimination, but the case was settled out of court.
Greenfield's two main posts at Oxford were as Tutorial Fellow in Medicine at Lincoln College Oxford, and Professor of Synaptic Pharmacology. From 1995 to 1999, she gave public lectures as Gresham Professor of Physic in London. Greenfield was Adelaide's Thinker in Residence for 2004 and 2005. As a result of her recommendations, South Australian Premier Mike Rann made a major funding commitment, backed by the State and Federal Governments and the private sector, to establish the Royal Institution of Australia and the Australian Science Media Centre in Adelaide.
She has explored the relevance of neuroscience knowledge to education and has introduced the concept of "mind change", an umbrella term comparable to "climate change", encompassing the diverse issues involved in the impact of the 21st-century environment on the brain.
Baroness Greenfield sits in the Parliament of the United Kingdom in the House of Lords as a crossbencher, having no formal political affiliation. Records of Baroness Greenfield's activity in the House of Lords indicate abstention on a range of issues. She has spoken on a variety of topics, including education, drugs, and economic empowerment for women.
In 1995 Greenfield published her own theory of consciousness in Journey to the Centres of the Mind (1995), which was developed substantially in The Private Life of the Brain (2000). Her book The Human Brain: A Guided Tour (1997) was followed byTomorrow's People (2003), which explored human nature and its potential vulnerability in an age of technology. These ideas were expanded in her later book, ID (2009). The theme of unprecedented changes to contemporary human cognition was briefly explored in a monograph You and Me (2011), and has was later developed further in an in-depth exploration of the impact of technology on the brain inMind Change published in 2014 by Random House. A further book A Day in the Life of the Brain is due to be published by Penguin in early 2016.
In 2013 Greenfield published a dystopian science-fiction novel, 2121: A Tale from the Next Century, telling the story of videogame-playing hedonists and their conflict with "Neo-Puritans".
In press interviews, at public speaking events, as well as in her writing, Greenfield has expressed concerns that modern technology, and in particular social networking sites and video games, may have a significant impact on child development as a factor in autistic-like behaviour. She noted that Public Health England had related social networking and multiplayer online games to "lower levels of wellbeing", and believed that evidence pointed to a "dose-response" relationship, "where each additional hour of viewing increases the likelihood of experiencing socio-emotional problems". She believed this raised questions about where to draw the boundaries between beneficial and harmful use of such technology, saying that "it would be surprising if many hours per day of screen activity did not influence this neuroplasticity".
Greenfield has been criticised for explicitly linking the increase in internet usage to a rise in autism. In an 2015 article in the BMJ, clinical psychologist Vaughan Bell, developmental psychologist Dorothy Bishop and psychologist Andrew Przybylski took Greenfield to task for her statements, writing that Greenfield's notion had "no basis in scientific evidence" and was "entirely implausible in light of what we know of autism as a neurodevelopmental condition". They expressed concern that her work could be misleading to parents.
Greenfield has 32 honorary degrees, and has received awards including the Royal Society's Michael Faraday Prize. She has been elected to an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians and the LondonScience Museum. In 2006 she was made an Honorary Fellow of the British Science Association and was the Honorary Australian of the Year.
In January 2000, Greenfield received the CBE for her contribution to the public understanding of science. Later that year, she was named Woman of the Year by The Observer. In 2001, she became a Life Peer under the via the House of Lords Appointments Commission system, as Baroness Greenfield, of Ot Moor in the County of Oxfordshire.
In 2003, she was appointed a Chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur by the French Government. In 2010 she was awarded the Australian Society for Medical Research Medal. She also received the British Inspiration award for Science and Technology in 2010.
She is a patron of the Alzheimer's Research UK and of Dignity in Dying. She is a founder and trustee of the charity Science for Humanity, a network of scientists, researchers and technologists that collaborates with non-profits to create practical solutions to the everyday problems of developing communities.
Greenfield was married to University of Oxford Professor Peter Atkins from 1991 until their divorce in 2003.
In the third video below in the 129th clip in this series are her words and my response is below them.
I grew up at Bellevue Baptist Church under the leadership of our pastor Adrian Rogers and I read many books by the Evangelical Philosopher Francis Schaeffer and have had the opportunity to contact many of the evolutionists or humanistic academics that they have mentioned in their works. Many of these scholars have taken the time to respond back to me in the last 20 years and some of the names included are Ernest Mayr (1904-2005), George Wald (1906-1997), Carl Sagan (1934-1996), Robert Shapiro (1935-2011), Nicolaas Bloembergen (1920-), Brian Charlesworth (1945-), Francisco J.

Let me respond first by saying that Dr. Greenfield's assertion is that when the brain dies we die too, but is there evidence that there is a life after death as the Bible claims? WHAT IF THERE WAS EVIDENCE THAT THE BIBLE IS TRUE HISTORICALLY? IF THAT COULD BE SHOWN THEN WOULD DR. GREENFIELD BELIEVE WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE?
1. Even communication between once created person and another is not exhaustive, but that does not mean that for that reason it is not true.
2. If the uncreated Personal really cared for the created personal, it could not be thought unexpected for him to tell the created personal things of a propositional nature; otherwise as a finite being the created personal would have numerous things he could not know if he just began with himself as a limited, finite reference point. In such a case, there is no intrinsic reason why the uncreated Personal could communicate some vaguely true things, but could not communicate propositional truth concerning the world surrounding the created personal – for fun, let's call that science. Or why he could not communicate propositional truth to the created personal concerning the sequence that followed the uncreated Personal making everything he made – let's call that history. There is no reason we could think of why he could not tell these two types of propositional things truly. They would not be exhaustive; but could we think of any reason why they would not be true? The above is, of course, what the Bible claims for itself in regard to propositional revelation.
DOES THE BIBLE ERR IN THE AREA OF SCIENCE AND HISTORY? The Bible is true from cover to cover and can be trusted. Charles Darwin himself longed for evidence to come forward from the area of Biblical Archaeology but so much has advanced since Darwin wrote these words in the 19th century! Here are some of the posts I have done in the past on the subject and if you like you could just google these subjects: 1. The Babylonian Chronicle, of Nebuchadnezzars Siege of Jerusalem, 2. Hezekiah's Siloam Tunnel Inscription.13. The Pilate Inscription, 14. Caiaphas Ossuary, 14 B Pontius Pilate Part 2, 14c. Three greatest American Archaeologists moved to accept Bible's accuracy through archaeology.
I really enjoyed your TED TALK and I also got to hear another TED TALK the other day by Nobel Prize Winner John Polanyi whose father I am writing you about later in this letter. You might want to check that out on You Tube too.
Baroness Greenfield sits in the Parliament of the United Kingdom in the House of Lords as a crossbencher, having no formal political affiliation. Records of Baroness Greenfield's activity in the House of Lords indicate abstention on a range of issues.
That intrigued me because I recently got involved in politics too and was elected Justice of the Peace in the 4th largest county in Arkansas and my wife Jill has served several years on the City Council in Shannon Hills.
It has been many years since I first visited Parliament but I have been watching many of their sessions on television and reading about them. Recently I read about the amazing career of Dominick Geoffrey Edward Browne. I wonder if you ever got to know him and did you know that he was mentioned indirectly in what I think is the most famous Beatles song of all-time.
What is the best Beatles song of all time? It is my opinion that is the song A DAY IN THE LIFE, and that is also the conclusion of Elvis Costello in his article "100 Greatest Beatles Songs," September 19, 2011.
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
The 4th Lord Oranmore and Browne, who has died aged 100, is believed to hold the record as the longest-serving member of the House of Lords, having taken his seat in 1927 and been evicted under the Government's reforms of 1999.
He earned the unspoken admiration of many by never speaking in the chamber, and was better known for his three marriages, particularly to the heiress Oonagh Guinness and to the actress Sally Gray.
It was also his misfortune to be associated in the public memory with the tragic deaths in traffic accidents of first his parents in 1927, and then of his son Tara Browne, an icon of the Swinging Sixties, almost 40 years later.
Dominick Geoffrey Edward Browne was born in Dublin on October 21 1901, heir to the Irish peerages of Oranmore and Browne of Carrabrowne Castle, Co Galway, and Castle Mac Garrett, Co Mayo.
Oranmore and Browne married three times, first Mildred Helen, daughter of Thomas Egerton, a cousin of the Duke of Sutherland; they had two sons and three daughters (one of whom died aged 13). They divorced in 1936, so he could marry Oonagh Guinness, one of the "Golden Guinness girls"; she was a considerable heiress in her own right and the owner of Luggala, a fairytale Gothic lodge in the Wicklow mountains.
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords.
"A Day in the Life" is the final song on the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Credited to Lennon–McCartney, the song comprises distinct sections written independently by John Lennonand Paul McCartney, with orchestral additions. While Lennon's lyrics were inspired by contemporary newspaper articles, McCartney's were reminiscent of his youth. The decisions to link sections of the song with orchestral glissandos and to end the song with a sustained piano chord were made only after the rest of the song had been recorded.
The supposed drug reference in the line "I'd love to turn you on" resulted in the song initially being banned from broadcast by the BBC. Since its original album release, "A Day in the Life" has been released as aB-side, and also on variouscompilation albums. It has been covered by other artists, and since 2008, by McCartney in his live performances. It was ranked the 28th greatest song of all time by Rolling Stonemagazine. The magazine also ranked it as the greatest Beatles song.
Guinness heir Tara Browne's two children will be brought up by their 56-year-old grandmother, the High Court ruled yesterday. It turned down a plea by their mother, Mrs. Nicky Browne, 24, that she should have them …This, she said, happened after Mr. Browne, 21, from whom she was estranged, had taken them for a holiday in County Wicklow [Ireland] with his mother.
Mrs. Browne began an action for their return in October , naming Mr. Browne and his mother as defendants. The action, held in private, was part way through when Mr. Browne died in a crash in his Lotus Elan car in South Kensington a week before Christmas.
keith suki brian and mick. suki would later survive a car(Lotus Elan) crash driven by Tara Browne- heir to the Guinness fortune. The driver perished(blew his mind out in a car, he didn't notice that the lights had changed) made famous by a Beatles song.
WHAT IF THERE WAS EVIDENCE THAT THE BIBLE IS TRUE HISTORICALLY? IF THAT COULD BE SHOWN THEN WOULD YOU BELIEVE WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE?
animate nature, being themselves irreducible to those laws. The pattern of organic bases in DNA which functions as a genetic code is a boundary condition irreducible to physics and chemistry. Further controlling principles of life may be represented as a hierarchy of boundary conditions extending, in the case of man, to consciousness and responsibility.
I would like to send you a CD copy of this talk because I thought you may find it very interesting. It includes references to not only James D. Watson, and Francis Crick but also Maurice Wilkins, Erwin Schrodinger, J.S. Haldane (his son was the famous J.B.S. Haldane), Peter Medawar, and Barry Commoner. I WONDER IF YOU EVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO RUN ACROSS THESE MEN OR ANY OF THEIR FORMER STUDENTS?
Machines are not formed by physical and chemical equilibration.
The functional terms needed for characterizing a machine cannot for defined in terms of physics and chemistry.
Polanyi is talking about specific machines but I would include the great cause and effect machine of the external universe that functions on a cause and effect basis. So if this is true of the watch, then you have to ask the same question about the total machine that Sartre points out that is there, and that is the cause and effect universe. Polanyi doesn't touch on this and he doesn't have an answer, and I know people who know him. Yet nevertheless he sees the situation exactly as it is. And I would point out what Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947) and J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904–1967) said and that it needed a Christian consensus to produce modern science because it was the Christian consensus that gave the concept that the world being created by a reasonable God and that it could be found out and discovered by reason. So the modern science when it began with Copernicus and Galileo and all these men conceived that the cause and effect system of the universe would be there on the basis that it was created by a reasonable God, and that is Einstein's big dilemma and that is why he became a mystic at the end of life…What Polanyi says here can be extended to the watch, and the bridge and the automobile but also to the big cause and effect universe. You have to give some kind of answer to this too and I would say this to Michael Polanyi if I ever have a chance to talk to him. You need another explanation too Polanyi.
3. No physical chemical topography will tell us that we have a machine before us and what its functions are.
In other words, if you only know the chemicals and the physics you don't know if you have a machine. It may just be junk. So nobody in the world could tell if it was a machine from merely the "physical chemical-topography." You have to look at the machineness of the machine to say it is a machine. You could take an automobile and smash it into a small piece of metal with a giant press and it would have the same properties of the automobile, but the automobile would have disappeared. The automobile-ness of the automobile is something else than the physical chemical-topography.
4. Such a topography can completely identify one particular specimen of a machine, but can tell us nothing about a class of machines.
5. And if we are asked how the same solid system can be subject to control by two independent principles, the answer is: The boundary conditions of the system are free of control by physics and can be controlled therefore by nonphysical, purely technical, principles.
In other words you have to explain the engineering by something other than merely physical principles and of course it is. You can't explain the watchness of the watch merely by this. You can explain it on the basis of engineering principles in which the human mind conceives of a use for the machine and produces the machine. But notice where Polanyi is and that is in our argument of a need of personality in the universe though Polanyi doesn't draw this final conclusion, though I thought that is the only explanation.
If you look at the watch a man has made it for the purpose of telling time. When you see the automobile a man has made it for the purpose of locomotion and the explanation of the difference is not in the chemical and physical properties but in the personality of a man to make these two different machines for two different purposes out of the same material. So what you are left here is the need of personality in the universe.
Thank you for your time. I know how busy you are and I want to thank you for taking the time to read this letter.

Highlights from the Sky Bet League 1 fixture between Barnsley and Chesterfield.
Chesterfield held on with 10 men to secure a precious 2-1 win at Barnsley.
Lee Novak headed the Spireites in front before Adam Hammill's deflected effort brought the scores level. Jamal Campbell-Ryce was then sent-off before Ollie Banks scored the winner.
Gboly Ariyibi delivered a cross which went over everybody but Novak (57), whose header found the bottom-left corner, leaving Adam Davies helpless.
Hammill (75) equalised for the hosts when he went on a superb run through the middle before his shot from outside the box was deflected past Tommy Lee.
Campbell-Ryce (78) was then sent off after receiving two yellow cards in quick succession.
After some great work down the left, Ariyibi laid the ball into the path of Banks (81), who smashed it into the back off the net.
Barnsley threatened late on when Hammill ran across the box and saw his effort cleared off the line by Sam Hird as the visitors held on.

Q: Functions not returning Print statements Forgive me if this seems like a silly question, but I am currently in school for CS, and am just starting out in this course. Part of my lab is creating an actual program to run the Pseudo-code we created, and my code is not returning my Print statements. If anybody has an idea of what is causing the issue I would appreciate the help. After I input a numerical value, none of the Print statements are being displayed.
    #10.23.15
    #This program will demonstrate how to use decision
    #statements in Python

    #This program determines if a bonus should be awarded

    #The main function
    def main():
        print ("Welcome to the program")
        monthlySales = getSales() # gets sales

    #This function gets the monthly sales
    def getSales():
        monthlySales = input ("Enter the monthly sales $")
        monthlySales = float(monthlySales)
        return monthlySales

    #Function call to determine bonus
    def isBonus(monthlySales):
        if monthlySales >= 100000:
            print ("You have earned a $5,000 bonus!!!")

    #Function call to determine day off
    def dayOff(monthlySales):
        if monthlySales >= 112500:
            print ("All employees get one day off!")

    #calls main
    main()

A: Python has some amazing documentation that you'll want to refer to when writing your programs. If you're new to Python you should run through the tutorial, then refer to the library and language references as you need them (you can read about print() here).
Step through each line of your code. When you call main() at the very end, it enters your def main(): block (nothing in your def blocks are actually run until they're called). monthly_sales = getSales() executes getSales(), which gets the sales input from your user, converts it to a float, and then returns that value to your main() function.
main() does nothing with the returned value, and your program exits. If you want to view the sales, you need a print(monthlySales) statement after your call to getSales().

Toy Keyboard is a free VST/AU plugin instrument and sample library featuring the sound of the Yamaha PSR-78 home keyboard. All the sound have been sampled and looped when appropriate. To keep the plugin light, each sound contains only one sample stretched over the keyboard. The C3 note has been sampled for each sound, but in some cases you'll hear a different note (C1 or C2). To respect the original mapping of the PSR-78, I decided to keep the C1 and C2 notes to C3. The labeled and looped wav files are also available.

Whites Thrush (Zoothera aurea)
Eurasia, Passeriformes, Turdidae
[order] PASSERIFORMES | [family] Turdidae | [latin] Zoothera aurea | [UK] Whites Thrush | [FR] Grive doree | [DE] Erddrossel | [ES] Zorzal dorado | [NL] Goudkijster
Zoothera aurea EU e Taiwan, Southeast Asia
Zoothera aurea aurea
Zoothera aurea toratugumi
Largest thrush of west Palearctic. As long as Mistle Thrush but heavier about bill, head, and body and proportionately shorter-tailed. Structure unusual: bill long and heavy, head large, and wings relatively long (though bluntly pointed) in comparison with tail; combined with undulating flight, gives woodpecker-like appearance. Golden- or olive-buff above and yellow-white below, copiously scaled with black crescents on head and body and softly banded dark across primaries and primary coverts and along ends of all flight feathers. Underwing striped white, black, white, and grey from front to rear. When spread, tail and upper tail-coverts show distinctive pattern: pale golden centre contrasting with blackish panels and those emphasizing largely white outermost feathers.
Listen to the sound of Whites Thrush
[audio:http://www.aviflevoland.nl/sounddb/W/Whites Thrush.mp3]
Eurasia : East
Breeds in upper middle latitudes, mainly in boreal continental zone of taiga coniferous forest, largely within range of Siberian Thrush, which apparently shows greater preference for neighbourhood of water. Habitat includes dense spruce along river valleys, adjoining mixed or broad-leaved stands on ridges or slopes, including open woods with larch, birch, and aspen, often at headwaters of streams. In Himalayas, breeds to at least 3300 m, inhabiting densely forested hillsides on broken ground. In winter occurs in tropical and subtropical woodlands.
In Western Siberia: fresh eggs are found 1 June, newly-fledged young in August. One brood, possibly 2. nest is built in fork of tree, 2-6 m up, occasionally on ground among stones and plants. Nest base of dry ferns supporting cup of leaves, twigs, and moss, poorly plastered on inside with mud; thick lining of thin rootlets, grass, and leaves.
Clutch: 4-5.
Insects, worms, and berries. Feeds on ground, turning over leaves with bill. Flushes insects by suddenly opening wings and tail, and apparently brings worms to surface by raising itself up on toes and rapidly vibrating whole body for several seconds.
Zoothera dauma has a large range, with an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 10,000,000 km2. The bulk of the population breeds across Siberia and the Himalayas, wintering to the northern Indian Subcontinent, northern south-east Asia, southern China, and southern Japan, but there are also some resident subspecies, including Z. d. neilgherriensis in the hills of south-west India, and Z. d. horsfieldi from Java to Sumbawa, Indonesia. The species is variously described as "uncommon" to "fairly common" across much of its range, but presumably has a large global population, including an estimated 50,000-200,000 individuals in Europe.
The taxonomy of the species has been in flux, and much more research and analysis is needed on variations in song and measurements to resolve this situation. Z. d. major was previously considered specifically distinct and Critically Endangered, with only c.58 breeding birds estimated to remain in 1996. It is confined to the islands of Amami-ooshima and Kakeroma-jima in the northern Nansei Shoto Islands, Japan, and threatened primarily by deforestation and invasive alien predators. Global population trends have not been quantified for Z. dauma, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
Varies from wholly migratory to sedentary in different parts of range. Northern race aurea wholly migratory. Winters in Philippines, China south of Yangtze to Kwangtung and Yunnan, Hong Kong (where scarce with numbers varying considerably between years), Taiwan, Assam, and Indo-China. Migrates south-east from west of breeding range with passage across Sinkiang and north-west Mongolia. European records chiefly October-January; spring records perhaps of overwintering individuals.

Q: Symfony: qpush subcriber don't handle AWS SNS message I'm using the qpush-bundle to send push messages to my application. The goal is to perform asynchronous tasks.
I'm using AWS SQS and SNS to dispatch my message back to my symfony application, that then should be handled by the service I configured.
From the docs:

Once a message is received via POST from your Message Queue, a MessageEvent is dispatched which can be handled by your services. Each MessageEvent contains the name of the queue and a Uecode\Bundle\QPushBundle\Message\Message object, accessible through getters.

My problem:
The event does not seems to be catched: The processing in my service is not performed.
class AsyncService
{
    public function onMessageReceived(MessageEvent $event)
    {
        // do some processing
    }
}

Additional info:
The notification is correctly sent, as I verified in the access_log:
"POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 45 "-" "Amazon Simple Notification Service Agent"

config.yml:
uecode_qpush:
providers:
    aws:

Also I had to create a SNS topic named "myqueuename", to not get a Topic does not exist error.

A: It event: civbq.message_received rather than event: myqueuename.message_received, the new documentation make this clearer, civbq is the queue key, and the my_queue_key rather than the queue_name is what should be used.

WHY THE MARK OF THE BEAST WON'T BE A CHIP, BAR CODE OR TATTOO… | BE BLESSTIFIED!
Even those who don't believe in God have heard of it. The mark of the beast. The 'mark' that many will submit to showing that they have rejected Christ and accepted the antichrist.
The purpose of this quick post isn't to discuss whether or not the church will still be on earth when it takes place. But, what will it actually be. This could be a long post, but I'm going to keep it short so you can digest it…and pray about it.
There are those who talk about a chip being implanted, a bar code that will be required for buying, selling and living everyday life. There are others who speak of a literal mark or tattoo on the hand and forehead. How many warnings have you heard in sermons or seen posted on social media or in sermon?
33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
If you take an x-ray, will you find actual words written on your brain or heart? Of course not.
When God places something in your mind, it affects your thinking. When He places something in your heart, it affects what's most important to you.
"In their right hand…" In the way you do things.
"In their foreheads…" The way you think.
3 and every spirit that does not confess that[a] Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
The spirit of the antichrist has been at work for years affecting how Christians 'do things' and 'think'. Convincing us to compromise when it comes to our Lord and Savior Yeshua, Jesus Christ.
Here's a quick example…think about Easter. What does the name 'Easter' have to do with Jesus? Nothing. What do bunnies and eggs have to do with celebrating His resurrection? Nothing. But, you can't convince well-meaning Christians to celebrate without calling it Easter because it has been to deeply ingrained in the way they 'do things' and the way they 'think'. Why not celebrate His resurrection without calling it by a pagan goddess' name?
Think of all the ways that the enemy is convincing the people of God to compromise.
Think of how the thinking of this world is changing to accept what God has forbidden.
It's not what you accept on your skin…it's what you accept within.
Very well said:-) Thanks so much for adding to the conversation!
No problem! I think as the body of believers we certainly need to discuss scripture, and be willing to hear each other out. That's the only way we will learn, and grow together.
Exactly. No one person has 'it all'. I'm so blessed by this awesome community of bloggers. I'm so thankful to be a part of it.
Pingback: MY 10 MOST 'BLESSTIFIED' POSTS OF 2017 (TEN MOST VIEWED…) | BE BLESSTIFIED!
I am actually in full agreement with this post, and am very happy that there are others out there who see that this is not referencing a microchip. There is a lot of symbolism in the phrase "mark of the beast" alone, for if you want to understand what the mark of the beast is you should probably understand who the beast is first, than you're well on track to decoding the meaning of the mark.
Amen! Thanks so much for your comment. BE BLESSTIFIED!
I agree with you totally and thank you for refering me to this post. Seven years ago the Lord opened my eyes to the book of revelation and since then it has changed my life. The lessons were compiled in the book Harm Not The Oil and Wine. I hope you and your readers will be able to read it. Thank you once more.
Thanks for sharing the link:-) I will definitely have to check it out. BE BLESSTIFIED MY friend.
Reblogged this on BE BLESSTIFIED!.
Reblogged this on I ONCE WAS LOST.
Hey, Minister Aldtric Johnson, with all due respect, I would have to disagree with your interpretation that the mark of the beast is not literal. The Greek word used for "mark" is charagma which gives the meaning of something engraved or stamped. Mind you, the only way to buy food, material needs is by having identification on your body. The 666 on the body shows that, that person has chosen Satan over Christ and now belongs to the devil.
The proof text that you used to show that the mark of the beast is not literal [Jeremiah 31:33], has nothing to do with the mark of the beast. Jeremiah 31 is talking about the law being in the person's heart which was foretold of the coming of the Holy Spirit who was going to dwell in the hearts of the believers. The Holy Spirit is the one who gives people God's Word and understanding. There is no parallel between Jeremiah 31 and Revelation 13 in reference to the mark of the beast.
We must exegete any given passage correctly according to its context with other references talking about the same topic or else one will fall into the fallacy of misinterpretation like the Jehovah's Witnesses who are experts in making pretzels out of passages in Scripture to support their agenda.

Responses to Pope Francis's challenge on climate change.
Responding to the social encyclical by Pope Francis, Laudato Si', two prominent Melbourne academics spoke at an SPC forum on 9 July on Pope Francis on 'catastrophic' climate change, world poverty and social equity.
Addressing about 40 people at the Salvation Army Hall in Bourke Street Melbourne, they said the message about the dire threats from climate change should be a wakeup call to countries like Australia. Francis was insisting this is a crucial moral issue.
Lecturer in meteorology in Melbourne, Dr Mick Pope, is well qualified to speak about the environmental aspects of the encyclical, but he also linked it to social and cultural aspects, including the relationship between faith and science. As well as some YouTube clips, our website offers Dr Pope's full article in response to the encyclical.
The emeritus professor from La Trobe University, Joe Camilleri, said in a very vibrant talk that this was one of the most important papal encyclicals ever written, covering not just the environment, but also linking together growing social inequality, world poverty, the crisis in neoliberal models of capitalism, the negative effects of consumerism, and distress in social cohesion. The YouTube clip from his talk is on our mailchimp and website.

Hannah Foster — Exploring Self-Development Through Art
BFA student Hannah Foster
When she was little, Hannah Foster wanted to become a veterinarian, a singer, and an artist. She worked for a vet for a few years, took college classes in zoology and wildlife studies, and dabbled in the performing arts. But ultimately she chose art over science and enrolled at MUM to pursue a BFA, a career she hopes can give her the most independence.
Modeling at the 2015 MUM Eco Jam
Hannah grew up outside St. Louis, Missouri, and learned about MUM from her sister Jada, who is an MUM alumna. At MUM Hannah discovered that creating art is part of her personal development process.
"I am interested in philosophy and spirituality, and art gives me an outlet to explore the nature of life and existence," she said. "I like taking something abstract and trying to express it in physical limitations."
At the wheel in a ceramics class
Hannah says that the practice of the Transcendental Meditation® technique has helped her to be less critical of her own creative work and instead adopt a grander view. "I practice twice a day, no matter what," she said. "It's a place that I know I can go to take time out, and it has helped me feel less anxious and more confident."
Ceramics and painting are Hannah's favorite media, and she often combines them into multimedia collages. She also enjoys teaching, and last summer she developed and taught a community ceramics class. As her work-study job, she manages the ceramics studio in the art department.
2670: A ceramic sculpture, 2016
"Hannah is inventive in the studio and excited about making art," said Gyan Shrosbree, assistant professor of art. "She has a lot of promise as an artist: dedicated to her studio practice, balanced in her life and her demeanor, organized, and able to take advice and make it her own."
During her previous semester, Hannah created a portfolio for graduate school, and two universities have offered her full scholarships. She will begin her MFA at Pennsylvania State University next fall.

Rocheville: Rock Town or City …
Rocheville: Rock Town or City in the Mountain?
Near the village of Bricquebec in Normandy there is a small community of around 600 inhabitants called Rocheville - translated "Rock Town". She is proud of her small "ganggrab" in a nearby forest, the "Bois de la Grosse Roche".
As already mentioned several times, "gang graves" are called "Allées couvertes" in French. Also with this specimen here there is no reference to a grave, since only an axe made of flint was found there in the last half of the 19th century. It can be visited in the museum of Cherbourg.
Wikipedia lets us know that the plant consists of about 35 stones, of which 5 are ceiling tiles. This makes it a little longer than the Bretteville en Saire site, but not as monumental as I have seen on site.
This forest, where the Allée couverte de la petite Roche (as the name is sometimes also called Pierre aux Druides) is located, has other anomalies for which no one - it seems - is wasting another word. A small hint, which sounds rather insignificant, is that "almost all stones are no longer in situ" (i.e.: on site). This sounds a little strange when you look at the Allée, since apart from the usual missing ceiling tiles, there still seem to be some side panels and the system also has a closure.
The orientation of the Allée couverte runs from east to west and one can see from a drawing that there were originally a total of 9 "tables" with the necessary number of supports. Other stones are scattered in the surrounding area. This also includes any "table tops".
If you look around and explore the surrounding area, you might think that this "ganggrab" is a distraction, because further up the hill you will find another rock complex.
Path to the "petites roches" hill
Solitary rocks that open connection openings
In no time you are in front of a rock complex that is not scientifically classified. That is, one fluctuates between natural rock chaos and a plant of artificial origin. They are called "Les petites Roches", which suggests that behind the imposing rocks in the middle of the forest something bigger may be waiting for you. But first to the "small rocks", which are also called stones of the druids. The sudden accumulation of rock is about 20 metres long and runs in an east-west direction. One does not give oneself the nakedness from the scientific side to commit oneself definitively to the origin.
"Tapered" rocks in conical form
Piece of rock cake - probably not of natural origin
Geology has no explanation for the sudden presence of these rocks.
There are numerous signs of human processing traces..
There are artificial walls and depressions to the side of the hill. The floor may have collapsed a long time ago. A soil analysis would certainly be of great help here. Perhaps the slope has an "inner life". Some traditions speak a clear language here.
It must have been a real rock explosion (out of nowhere?), if one wants to assume a natural origin here. It should be borne in mind that this is practically an intermediate hill on a rising mountain, which "suddenly" has huge rocks stacked on top of each other - if one takes the surrounding trees away - could just as well have been a fortification post to entrench oneself. If you take a closer look at the whole thing, the rock scenario rather reminds you of prepared or at least worked blocks that fell victim to a blasting or a tectonic event. As if by chance tilted ceiling tiles, narrow corridors with straight walls and strangely cone-shaped rocks tapering upwards give the impression as if someone had laid hands here in ancient times. Some rocks stand upright with a comparatively small footprint, so it is hard to believe in the theory of chance. In any case, some processing traces can hardly be dismissed by hand. It's hard to say whether someone laid hands there at a later point in time or at the time of creation. In any case, there are hewn support niches and notches.
Circumnavigating this intermediate station and continuing up the main mountain, one stands in 100 metres in front of the so-called "Big Roche" (wide rock). Here, at the latest, science finds it much more difficult to use the word "natural". The rocky complex there rises like an ancient fortress with vertical walls between beech trees. One speaks here of a "natural" oppidium, which is occupied with stones. Indeed, it is difficult not to speak here of a kind of city wall with overhangs, peaks, watchtowers and a summit platform. In addition, small "secret" corridors open up between the blocks. Here, too, you need a keen eye to discover the traces of human occupation or processing.
But you will find it if you are looking for symmetry. In some places, one fluctuates between frost bursting and stack arrangement. Elsewhere I have no doubt that we are dealing here with technical-human structures. Where you get the impression that blocks have been stacked on top of each other in a targeted manner and have not separated from each other later by cracks. There are sections - especially in the area of the plateau, which is at least 5-6 meters high and appears to be uniformly flat for accidental formation anyway - where giant rocks stacked flat above each other form projections. In these cases it is hard to imagine that they had previously formed a uniform rock.
The staircase to "Grosse Roche" seems to be surrounded by fortification walls, real wall sections
Straight rock crevices, cube-shaped single rocks in the section of the Grosse Roche
In search of an underground city
Pierre Lefillastre collected oral traditions of the 19th century and collected them in the Annuaire de la Manche of 1833. "We have here, near the village of Bricquebec, a mountain called Brémont. At this place existed a city of the same name (I could not find any trace of this imaginary city). Some people claim that the mountain contains caves where rich treasures are kept by a sow that spits flames. An Italian, it is said, wanted to seize this shrine by force, but was forced to run away from the eyes of the monsters who had attacked him". Amélie Bosquet also took it up in 1845. Of course, it has not yet been possible to determine where this Brémont mountain is located in the area, but this place of the "Grosses et Petites Roches" would be a good proposal.
In 1979 René Letenneur associated the story with a huge monolith (Source: Magic, Sorcellerie et Fantastique en Normandie, Ocep 1978). What has been spun together on the basis of a basic legend has been put there. However, it would certainly be worthwhile to use cavity detectors in this plot. Maybe there are caves there.
What Didier Audinot, a meanwhile deceased alternative researcher, says about this topic:
"Around Bricquebec, this time in the Manche department, the underground refuges have a newer origin but are a reality. They are said to have been designed by the inhabitants of the original village at the time of the first Viking attacks in Normandy and were reused during the Hundred Years' War and during the religious wars. Most of them are centred around the hill known as "Grosses Rochers". Everyone went there to look for little treasures hidden by the refugees" from his book: Chasses aux Trésors en Normandie, Editions Charles Corlet.
So are there any underground passages around Rocheville? Do they really contain treasures hidden there during the Hundred Years' War? Personally, I believe in the existence of a much older megalithic architecture that was originally used for other purposes, but of course cannot prove it.

Review: Der Rosenkavalier (Royal Opera House)
Renée Fleming bids farewell to the UK stage in Robert Carsen's new production
Mark Valencia

© Catherine Ashmore
There's a small handful of operas I'd happily sit through every night, and Der Rosenkavalier is one of them. Not that Richard Strauss's Viennese whirl is an obvious candidate for play/repeat. It's long, louche and wordy, the comedy's laid on like buttercream, and you could cut half an hour from its soft centre without anyone noticing.
Yet was there ever such magic? Strauss and his librettist, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, pull the heart every which way in their exploration of human instincts tangled in the complexities of love. It's hardly cutting-edge—you'll struggle to spot a serf amid the princesses, counts and barons—but the fairy-tale extravagance is really a backdrop for some emotional truths, both base and elevated, with which we can all identify.
Der Rosenkavalier takes four hours of music to spin the interlocking relationships between adulterous cougar the Marschallin, her 17-year-old lover Octavian, her priapic cad of a cousin Baron Ochs, and the blushing 15-year-old Sophie whom the latter intends to wed. Along the opera's winding way we encounter sublime arias, riotous ensembles and a waltz that caps anything by Strauss's namesakes.
The orchestration is voluptuous and intricate, and once a messy opening flourish from the ROH horn section was behind him Andris Nelsons brought the score sensuously to life. He even made the baiting of Ochs (an overstretched rerun of Falstaff's humiliation in Verdi's opera) hang together more plausibly that usual.
'Paul Steinberg's triple-whammy of sumptuous sets'
It helps that Matthew Rose sings the Baron. The British bass carries all before him these days, and his puffed-up Prussian, rubicund and ridiculous, is a joy in his ill-fated quest to pouch poor Sophie. He's a military man in Robert Carsen's production, and there's a sinister edge to the macho platoon that hangs on his every Trumpish word; yet Rose embodies the buffoon with conviction, not caricature, and he sings the opera's most exacting role with throwaway ease.
Carsen updates the opera from the mid-18th century to the early 20th, probably for reasons of style rather than substance (soufflé wigs and crinolines can overegg the confection), for while the pre-Great War references point to a darker world beyond the drama, the allusions are perfunctory. Take Faninal, Sophie's father: he's depicted as a parvenu who's made his fortune selling arms, but that back-story has no impact on his portrayal (by the excellent Jochen Schmeckenbecher) as a ruthless social climber because it's already there in the text.
No, Carsen's great strength is his stagecraft. He uses the floor space within designer Paul Steinberg's triple-whammy of sumptuous sets so artfully that words, music and proxemics coalesce into a single expression. In Strauss's divine final scene between Octavian (Alice Coote), Sophie (Sophie Bevan) and the Marschallin (the great Renée Fleming in her farewell to the UK stage) he uses subtle but restless movement to unlock a desperate beauty in the acts of loving and of surrendering love. It's just a shame his three divas don't blend as well vocally as they do visually. All are great artists in prime form but for some reason their voices, each a glory, don't complement one another as they should. They're like three pure liquids that cloy when mixed.
Still, incidental felicities abound. The Caruso-like tenor who serenades the Marschallin in act one (Georgio Berrugi, first rate) proffers a signed copy of his latest record; the third-act Innkeeper (Alasdair Elliott, ditto) is presented as a cross-dressing brothel madam. Occasionally things go too far, such as the unlikely team of surgeons who attend to Och's scratched leg, or the garish flooring that hurts the eyes throughout act two, but for the most part this is Strauss to savour. Carsen has added a silver rose to the Royal Opera's repertoire.
Der Rosenkavalier runs in repertory at the Royal Opera House until 24 January.

Robert Liebowitz has suffered from kidney disease since he was 12.
By 60, the New Jersey father of five knew he was dying so he took one last trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando in August with his children. He was on a kidney transplant list but time was running out.
So, with the help of his daughter, Liebowitz designed a simple, white T-shirt with black lettering that read: "In Need of Kidney. O positive." He added his phone number and turned himself into a walking billboard at the theme park, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Liebowitz wore his T-shirt for nine days at Disney. People snapped photos and took videos of the message and shared it on social media.
Richie Sully, a single dad of two girls, ages 11 and 5, from Indiana, saw Sandoval's post. He got himself tested, and found he could be a suitable donor. He flew to New York City, at his own expense, and donated his kidney to Liebowitz. The surgery was performed Jan. 18 at New York Presbyterian Hospital.
But Liebowitz says it is a big deal.
"You can't put into words what he did for me, so I'll have to figure out how to do the best I can for the rest of my life," Liebowitz told WPIX.
The Liebowitz and Sully families plan to go back to Disney World and hope the Sandovals, who snapped and posted the photo, will join them.

George Zimmerman is Suing Trayvon's Family & Attorneys for $100 Million AND… Why It's a Non-Story
George Zimmerman is suing Trayvon Martin's family, attorneys involved in the case and even a book publisher for defamation that stems from using a witness that gave false testimony against him during trial proceedings back in 2012.
Here's more from ABC6 Philadelphia:
BARTOW, Fla. — Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of the 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin, is suing the teen's parents, family attorney, the attorney's book publisher and prosecutors who tried his case, claiming he was defamed when they allowed a witness to give false testimony in an attempt to incriminate him.
Zimmerman's lawsuit, filed Wednesday, said a trial witness pretended to be the last person to talk to Martin by phone before he was killed when the witness was actually the half-sister of the caller.
According to the lawsuit, Brittany Diamond Eugene didn't want to testify that she had been talking to Martin before he was killed. So her half-sister, Rachel Jeantel, pretended that she was talking to the teen before he was fatally shot. Jeantel ended up testifying at Zimmerman's 2013 trial in Sanford, Florida.
Martin was killed during a struggle with Zimmerman, who was a Neighborhood Watch volunteer.
Martin was black. Zimmerman's father is white and his mother is Hispanic. Zimmerman's trial raised questions about race and Florida's "stand your ground" self-defense law which allows people to use force without retreating if they feel threatened.
In a statement on Wednesday, Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump called the allegations "unfounded and reckless."
For the first time, George Zimmerman defends his decision to sell the gun he used in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin.
"This plaintiff continues to display a callous disregard for everyone but himself, re-victimizing individuals whose lives were shattered by his own misguided actions. He would have us believe that he is the innocent victim of a deep conspiracy, despite the complete lack of any credible evidence to support his outlandish claims," Crump's statement said. "This tale defies all logic, and it's time to close the door on these baseless imaginings."
Zimmerman's lawyer in the lawsuit, Larry Klayman, was planning a news conference in South Florida on Thursday to discuss the complaint. The lawsuit seeks $100 million, alleging malicious prosecution and conspiracy.
Klayman is a conservative activist who founded the watchdog group, Judicial Watch.
Larry Klayman?
I got a little excited until I read that.
In addition to his numerous lawsuits against the Clinton Administration, which led him to be called a "Clinton nemesis",[8] Klayman has filed a number of lawsuits against political figures and governmental agencies.[9] Klayman's goal in initiating the lawsuits is often to obtain information through the discovery process, rather than winning the lawsuit.[9] Most cases brought by Judicial Watch or Klayman himself fail.[10][11] –Source Wikipedia
I know Wikipedia is not the best source for things conservative, but in this case they are on the money.
Here's some of Larry's past & recent work:
Rashida Tlaib Slapped With $2 Million Assault & Battery Lawsuit
Lawsuit Filed for the Deportation of Ilhan Omar
Acquitted Bundy Defendants File $60 Million Lawsuit Against Corrupt Prosecutors, FBI & BLM
Word around conservative water coolers is that Larry Klayman is an ambulance chaser who likes to see his name in the paper. So actually Wikipedia's description of him is rather complimentary compared to that.
But if he wins this time, we will be sure to print his victory column.
There's your motivation Larry.
This is one of those stories that people will read and get excited about, but…
I'm sorry to tell you that it's really not much of a story because of who is representing Zimmerman.
Still, it is a valid case because the witness in question was a total fraud.
New Film Uncovers TRAYVON MARTIN HOAX: They Even Used an Actress to Play His Girlfriend IN COURT
If Zimmerman hired an attorney that had a history of winning high profile cases, he might actually have a good case here.
That's just my opinion and I do hope I am wrong because Zimmerman and Klayman have a really good case based on the false witness testimony in the show trial.

Stories from the front lines of life…on and off the podium.
Welcome Back, Real Quick Can I Have A Moment?
Coming off summer hiatus…transition to teacher mode complete.
Finally remembered to pack a lunch.
Woke up to an alarm.
Went to bed to late.
Next day, went to bed very early.
Felt settled and back at home in the comfort of something I've known well for the length of time my students have been alive. The warm routine of the start.
15th Amador Band camp done.
Week 1, year 17 of teaching in the books.
Like look in their eyes-really see them-see them.
I have to remind myself that for each year my routine becomes more familiar and comfortable, that it is, nonetheless, brand new for the flock of teenagers that cross through the door to the band room. They only have one 1st day of high school. I've had 17.
So I took some time this week to see them for who they were and where they were. It wasn't easy in the busyness of the start. But it was worth it to find those moments to connect with them. Made my routine feel a little less routine.
Here's to some magic through the the crazy of this new year!

This Disease Can Cause Loss of Hearing
by AudioLife | Oct 2, 2019 | Hearing Loss Articles
How often do you think about your nervous system? Most likely not all that frequently. Usually, you wouldn't have to be concerned about how your neurons are sending messages to the nerves in your body. But you tend to pay more attention when something isn't working right and the nerves begin to misfire.
One particular disease called Charot-Marie-Tooth Disease which normally affects the extremities can also have a pretty wide-scale affect on the entire nervous system. high-frequency hearing loss can also be the result of CMT according to some research.
Charot-Marie-Tooth Disease, What is it?
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a set of inherited disorders. The protective sheathing surrounding the nerves malfunction due to a genetic condition.
The result is that the signals sent from your brain to those nerves (and from those nerves back to your brain) don't travel all that well. Functionally, this can result in both a loss in motor function and a loss of feeling.
A blend of genetic elements commonly leads to the appearance of symptoms, so CMT can be present in several varieties. Symptoms of CMT commonly begin in the feet and work their way up to the arms. And, strangely, among those who have CMT, there is a higher rate of occurrence of high-frequency hearing loss.
The Cochlear Nerve: A Connection Between CMT and Loss of Hearing
There's always been an anecdotal link between hearing loss and CMT (which means that inside of the CMT community everyone has heard other people tell stories about it). And it was tough to understand the link between loss of sensation in the legs and problems with the ears.
The connection was firmly established by a scientific study just recently when a group of scientists evaluated 79 people with CMT at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
The findings were quite conclusive. Low to moderate frequencies were heard very nearly perfectly by those who had CMT. But all of the people showed loss of hearing when it came to the high-frequency sounds (usually across the moderate levels). high-frequency hearing loss, according to this study, is likely to be associated with CMT.
The Cause of Hearing Loss and How to Deal With It
At first, it could be puzzling to try to figure out the connection between high-frequency hearing loss and CMT. Like every other part of your body relies on properly functioning nerves. Your ears are the same.
What the majority of researchers hypothesize occurs is that the cochlear nerve is impacted by the CMT – disrupting your ear's ability to interpret and convey sounds in a high-frequency range. Some sounds, including some voices, will be hard to hear. Trying to hear voices in a crowded noisy room is especially difficult.
Hearing aids are commonly used to deal with this form of hearing loss. CMT has no renowned cure. Modern hearing aids can select the exact frequencies to boost which can give significant assistance in battling high-frequency hearing loss. In addition, most modern hearing aids can be calibrated to function well within noisy surroundings.
There Can be Many Causes For Hearing Loss
Experts still aren't entirely sure why CMT and loss of hearing seem to co-exist quite so often (above and beyond their untested theory). But hearing aid technology provides a clear solution to the symptoms of that loss of hearing. So making an appointment to get a fitting for hearing aids will be a good choice for individuals who suffer from CMT.
Hearing loss symptoms can surface for several reasons. Often, it's a matter of loud noise contributing to damage to the ears. Obstructions can be another cause. It also looks like CMT is another possible cause.
