Where To Find Vegan, Ethical and Eco-Friendly Hiking Boots
January 22, 2018June 27, 2018By Jennifer Nini
Since I live on a 120-acre property with mixed parts of flat, bushy, rocky and hilly terrain, hiking boots form an essential part of my sustainable wardrobe. I'd been wearing my Mamahuhu boots which has been a welcome change to gumboots, but they're not really made for off-road terrain and I feel it's time to move on.
Although these ethically-made boots performed relatively okay, they haven't stretched as much as I would have liked and paired with heavy thick socks (to protect ankles from bush scrub, midges and mozzies) there's little room for my toes to move. I've also noticed that the leather (animal leather which is the byproduct of the meat industry) tends to get scratched up since the property is filled with dead branches, thorny plants and other native vegetation.
While I'll still wear these boots because I really do adore them (they look perfect teamed up with my skinny ripped jeans and are great as winter boots), I am now in search for proper hiking boots; boots that are made specifically for rough, hilly, rugged landscapes, like that found on my farm.
In my online travels and search for the ideal pair, I've come across some stylish ethical, eco-friendly and vegan hiking boots that I feel need to be shared. Here are the brands in no particular order…
1. Vivobarefoot
This eco-conscious footwear brand creates innovative, active shoe wear for men and women. The eco-friendly exercise shoes and hiking boots are made from a range of materials such as canvas, made from recycled plastics bottles, leather byproduct from 'wildly reared' animals, and 'Bloom' made out of algae blooms. Their point of distinction is that their shoes are designed to be flexible, with ultra thin soles allowing for maximum sensory feedback, hence Vivobarefoot.
Aside from functionality, the brand also focusses on durability, materials, environmental footprint and its after life (are the materials recyclable, biodegradable?). It produces a range of vegan and non-vegan hiking boots, and their supply chain and processes are transparent, with factories in China that they claim meet rigorous and where a huge amount of work is still completed by hand. The brand also has a much smaller set up in Portugal making their 'Hand Cut' collections. For more info, visit vivobarefoot.com.

2. Vegetarian Shoes
Don't be mistaken with the brand name, Vegetarian Shoes actually manufactures vegan footwear and has been doing so since 1990. It manufactures its shoes in factories in Europe, namely in the UK, Portugal, Italy and Spain. The brand also uses a range of vegan-friendly materials including vegetan, vegetan suedes, microfibre made from polyester and polyurethane, polyester substrate with polyurethane 'skin', cotton backed polyurethane and nylon synthetic. Many of the shoes and boots are waterproof to withstand icy and wet European winter conditions.
While the brand promises quality boots and footwear without compromising vegan values, it is important to note that some of the materials used are non biodegradable although if you're vegan or vegetarian, you're likely aware of the environmental impact of some of these materials already. You can learn more about animal leather alternatives in this post.

Worldwide shipping available. All prices in British pound.

3. Zamberlan®
Zamberlan ethically manufactures hiking boots and outdoor footwear for men and women. Since 1929, this Italian shoe company has been ethically producing its products in their company-owned facilities located in Pievebelvicino di Torrebelvicino. The business is still family-run and the boots are still handmade by expert craftsmen, some of whom have been with the company for decades. With respect for artisanal craftsmanship, the brand continues to keep knowledge and skills in-house which has also allowed them to maintain high quality standards.
The brand's commitment to producing items that are built to last is central to its mission. It sources high-quality leather for its shoes and uses other trusted materials sourced from within Italy such as Vibram® soles. Zamberlan also partners with GORE-TEX® to ensure its shoes meet high standards of waterproofness and breathability. The end result is mountaineering, hiking and trekking boots that are high-performance, comfortable, flexible and long-lasting. What's even better is that 95 percent of Zamberlan® shoes are resolable so customers needn't purchase new, and the company also sells replacement components. For more information, check out their website www.en.zamberlan.com.
Zamberlan does not produce any vegan styles. The business ships to countries within Europe only.

4. Ethicalwares
The key mission for UK-based online business 'Ethicalwares' is promoting compassionate consumerism and animal rights. Thus its offerings, from hiking boots to homewares are animal derivative-free and many products also tick the Fair-Trade box. All products have been "carefully sourced to satisfy… worker friendly credentials". Ethicalwares stocks a range of men's and women's hiking boots. While the brand doesn't specify the materials it uses (not all shoes are made by them, some are stocked from other brands), one can safely assume that the vegan hiking boots are made from synthetic materials such as nylon, microfibre, and other forms of faux leather. To check out their site, visit www.ethicalwares.com.

5. KEEN Footwear
This American shoe company has been producing hiking boots, outdoor footwear and apparel since 2003. Aside from the broad selection of men's, ladies and kid's shoes, we love the brand's commitment to giving back. So far it has donated more than $15 million to nonprofit organisations and causes around the world, including Tsunami relief. The brand is also committed to ethical business practices by focussing on three key initiatives: manufacturing integrity, process transparency and workplace responsibility. This is not just empty words either; the brand has published its supply chain processes outling its auditing processes, certifications and other relevant disclosures here.
"We seek to elevate transparency in our business practices and to innovate within how we manufacture our products. Our goal is to exceed the highest levels of social and environmental standards. While there may not be a clear finish line, we commit ourselves daily to taking steps in the right direction." – Found on the Keen Footwear website.
And although a work in progress, KEEN is also committed to reducing its environmental impact, by partnering with organisations including The Conservation Alliance, Leave No Trace and Forest Park Conservation to help protect rivers, wild places and forests. It also takes part in regular volunteer clean ups, assesses its own production to reduce waste sent to landfill and even makes one of their collections the 'American-Built' line in their Portland factory minimising its carbon footprint whilst offering local manufacturing jobs.

The brand doesn't offer vegan hiking boots only vegan sandals. Ships worldwide.

6. Will's Vegan Shoes

A PETA-approved vegan brand, Will's hiking boots are no less fashionable than its everyday shoe offerings such as stylish heels, flats and sneakers. Its hiking boots are made from faux leather microfibre and are ethically-made in Portugal, and its removable insoles are made from latex (latex can be made from natural rubber and synthetic rubber both of which are found to biodegrade). Check out their vegan boots range here.
Worldwide shipping available including free shipping on first purchase.
The entire range is free of animal products while workers protected by European employment and safety law. Will's Vegan Shoes really is an animal and human friendly company." – Will Green, Founder and Shoe Designer of Will's Vegan Shoes

I haven't made a decision yet on which I will choose as some of the items I like aren't in my size as I have teeny tiny feet Aus size 5, EU 35 (some of the boots from Vivobarefoot for example) and as an eco-conscious vegan, am very suss on the materials used in vegan fashion considering most are synthetically derived and many do not biodegrade (plastics we know take up to 1,000 years to break down!) If you're vegan particularly, I'd like to hear how you're managing this issue as I haven't found any great work arounds when it comes to robust, non-synthetic cruelty-free footwear and it's so difficult to find second hand pairs in my size and that aren't, you know, icky ha!
Haven't found what you're after? Check out these ethical shoe brands as well.
The curated list is based on the writer's own research and does not fully take into account all ethical considerations that are unique to each individual. Before making a purchase, we encourage you to do your own research paying particular attention to the supply chain and your own particular set of ethics.

Survivors band together to keep mass killer Robert Long behind bars
By Tanya Weingarth|2 years ago
Survivors of the Childers backpacker hostel fire have banded together in a bid to keep the man responsible for the deadly blaze behind bars.
Robert Paul Long set fire to the Palace Backpackers Hostel on June 23, 2000, killing 15 people.
He was found guilty of arson and the murders of Australian twins Kelly and Stacey Slarke, but was never charged over the 13 other deaths.
Robert Paul Long was sentenced to life in jail with a non-parole period of 20 years after setting fire to the Childers Palace Backpackers Hostel in 2000, killing 15 travellers (A Current Affair)
At the time, the decision to only pursue Long for two murders and not 15 was made to expedite proceedings and to ensure more charges could be brought, if he was acquitted of killing the twins.
It was also seen as unlikely that he'd serve any extra time if he'd been convicted of all 15 deaths.
Long was sentenced to life in jail with a non-parole period of 20 years which means he's eligible to walk free within weeks.
With news the killer has now officially applied for parole, survivors of the blaze have started a petition in the hope it will grab the attention of the parole board ahead of its upcoming decision.
Childers Palace was set alight by Long while 80 people were inside sleeping (A Current Affair)
"He's just not safe to go back into normal society, surely," said Richard Tempest who escaped the fire two decades ago.
He was a 25-year-old backpacker on a trip of a lifetime from the United Kingdom and had only arrived at the Childers hostel hours before the blaze.
Mr Tempest was woken by the sound of breaking glass and alerted his fellow roommates to the fire before making a desperate escape through the thick, black smoke.
"One vivid thing I remember was how hot the floor was because we were obviously crawling on our hands and knees," Mr Tempest told A Current Affair in a recent interview.
"You couldn't see your hand in front of your face."
Mr Tempest was inside the backpackers when Long lit the blaze. He was forced to crawl on his stomach through thick black smoke in a desperate bid to find the exit (A Current Affair)
While Mr Tempest made it out, one of his roommates didn't and died in the fire.
He's joined fellow survivors in calling for Long to now be charged with murder over the 13 other deaths and the attempted murder of around 70 survivors.
While that has been ruled out by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, survivors and families hope the public will get behind their petition to keep Long in jail.
"20 years on, it doesn't take into account the other 13 and the attempted murder of the 70," Mr Tempest said.
"I'm standing here at my house in Brisbane, and I could have easily not been. I've got two little boys, could have easily not been here because of what he did and he needs to stay there."
Long was convicted of starting a fire at Childers Palace Hostel in 2000 which killed 15 people. (A Current Affair)
The group believes justice hasn't been served and Long, who is now 57-years-old, should never be set free.
"You don't do something like that and premeditate it, do it with the sole intention of obviously ruining lives, and he has… he's changed my life and hundreds and hundreds of other lives in so many ways," Mr Tempest said.
Up to 40 survivors are also currently putting together written submissions against Long's bid for freedom, which they plan to lodge with the parole board ahead of its decision.
"You've just got to wonder is that enough? Is it going to be read? Is everything going to be taken on board to them? Is the enormity of what he did and the previous history, is that really going to be taken into consideration when they actually make this massive decision?" Mr Tempest explained.

The Crisis in Detroit
By Lynn Zelevansky Oct 10, 2013
Right now, there are difficult discussions going on in Detroit. The Detroit Institute of Arts is one of a handful of major museums in this country whose collections are owned by the government: in Detroit's case, the city. (Unlike most of the developed world, where government supports culture, the rule in the United States is that arts are treated as philanthropy and supported largely by individuals, foundations, and businesses.) The DIA's situation must once have seemed a privileged and secure one, but today Detroit is bankrupt, and its leaders are considering selling the museum's great collection to pay its creditors. In essence, they are weighing the exigencies of the present against the promise of the future.
Museums are places of learning and social exchange that both reflect and give form to a city's overall culture. They are the repository of its history and a cornerstone for its future ambitions. They are also symbols of its success. A debate about this issue took place in the New York Times, where one writer equated Detroit to Greece, asking whether we would expect Greece to sell the Acropolis to pay its debts. What would that do to the very meaning of Greece historically and today? Similarly, if you weaken a great museum and a civic anchor like the DIA by selling off its most historically significant works, you not only make it less of a destination, you telegraph that you are giving up on the city. That message, in very real terms, would undermine future efforts to revitalize Detroit.
Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry fresco, located in the Rivera Court at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
In this country, the wealthy may provide museums with essential resources, but museum visitors remain broadly middle class, even as these institutions work hard to expand audiences across the demographic spectrum. Wide-ranging support and visitorship is possible because of the breadth and depth of the great collections at the DIA, Carnegie Museum of Art, and many, many other institutions across the country, which speak to a multitude of interests, ideas, and traditions. Museums play an essential role in people's development. Many grow up in museums, are educated in them, often get married in them, and then, in turn, bring their children to them. Museums are intrinsic to the life of a city and its population.
Exhibitions come and go, but a collection is, in very real ways, the measure of a museum. The DIA has one of the nation's great collections, ranging from tribal to contemporary art, with particular strengths in European and American art. Perceptive and caring curators and patrons built the collection over many decades, buying and donating works when they were of much less monetary value than they are today. They did this because of the works' aesthetic, intellectual, and emotional value, and they did it for the people of Detroit—many, I suspect, with a sense of "giving back" to the city that had nurtured them—not for its creditors.
The New York Times published an editorial suggesting that the collection should be sold, which spurred that paper's subsequent dialogue on the subject. The writer asked the provocative question, "How many lives is a Rembrandt worth?" That is a false equation that feeds the straw man of elitism. There is no promise that the funds generated from such a sale would feed the hungry or fund pensions; rather, it would likely be used to pay off debts. If sold, prices dictate that the DIA's greatest artworks would go into private hands since most museums couldn't afford them. That is an enormous loss. Those works are part of the bone, muscle, and life-blood of Detroit and must not be treated as fungible assets. Detroit must find another way.

If your quest to find "the one" seems more impossible than climbing Mount Everest in heels and the dating game makes you feel as hopeless as Britney circa 2007, it could be all in your head. Literally. That's because what's going on in your subconscious mind—the part of your brain that's essentially a large database of memories—could be putting a serious wrench in your love life.
Subconscious sabotaging—believing you're not being good enough, saying you're too busy, or deciding there are no good men out there—can permeate your life, even if you don't realize it, says relationship coach Marni Battista of Dating with Dignity. "[These thoughts] get leaked into everything we do in both verbal and nonverbal situations and inevitably drive men away." We've outlined six common factors that could be stunting any advancements in the love department.
Problem: Being hung up on the past.
Former relationships can seriously influence how we subconsciously enter into new relationships, because we end up mulling over past mistakes: Why did I say that? Was I too needy? "We run around our brains so much that we can't get past it enough to consider a new relationship as a do-over," says psychologist and radio host Dr. Cooper Lawrence.
Translation? We end up projecting the sins of the past on the next person, who doesn't stand a chance, even if that person is Ryan Gosling waiting at your front door with chocolates and wine.
Solution: Allow yourself to be vulnerable in a relationship where you really, really trust the other person. "This 'therapeutic relationship' provides a secure frame to test and discard negative feelings and reactions," says Hokemeyer. "Just as our central nervous system got wired to avoid intimate relationships, it can be rewired to connect in them," he says. The key is to move slowly in the new relationship. Remember: baby steps.
Problem: Having the unconscious urge to argue.
Do you always feel the need to contradict every point someone makes, like pointing out it's actually Kendall Jenner, not Kylie, who's hitting the runways big-time? "There are some people who like to be right all the time and make others feel stupid for not thinking exactly how they think," says Dr. Lawrence. These people are hard to have a conversation with, let alone a long-term relationship.
Solution: Ask yourself where the root of this urge is coming from. Maybe it's stress from work, problems with friends or family, or bad habits from past relationships. Regardless of the source, Dr. Lawrence urges people to take the energy they may get from the drama of an argument and channel it into their careers, working out, or a new hobby.
Problem: The all-consuming desire to be right.
Solution: Practice open-mindedness. Remember that a big draw of being in a relationship is the opportunity to learn and grow (in a nontacky way, of course). That means stopping to take a second before you judge or fire back. Keep a healthy distance from your beliefs, and you'll start to distance yourself from defensive patterns that just don't achieve anything.
Problem: Coming on way too strong.
Solution: Avoid talking about the big things—marriage, kids, a house—until the relationship feels stable enough to bring up such serious topics, advises Dr. Lawrence. Take the time in the beginning to get to know who he or she is and what he or she likes. If things go well, you'll be able to gauge when and if it is a good time to start talking about how many kids you want—it could be six dates or six months.
Problem: Being a Debbie Downer.
Would you put up with someone talking about all the things they hate in the world and everything that bothers them? If the answer is no, odds are that your date doesn't want to hear you go on a diatribe about why nonorganic kale will lead to the fall of civilization. What's worse is that being a downer implies you lack the confidence to be a good partner. "Positive women come across more confident, and that is a huge turn-on for men," Dr. Lawrence adds.
Solution: Ditching the negative attitude may require a lot more cognitive effort on your part. You know that saying, "You are what you eat"? The same applies here. If you're a regular Negative Nancy, your outlook is going to be negative. Dr. Hokemeyer recommends changing your thought pattern to where you're literally focusing only on the positive. Changing your mind may just as well change your overall attitude.
Problem: Having low self-esteem and high self-doubt.
Behold the biggest saboteur of all: telling yourself "I'm not good enough." Doing so makes you doubt your abilities to get and maintain a new relationship. Not only that, you may have unrealistic expectations of a potential partner because you think you don't deserve anyone worth having.
"It's critical that we become able to manage this mentality and build a strong foundation of self-worth vs. self-esteem to be capable of receiving love in an intimate relationship," Battista says.
The Solution: Recognize your inner critic when it starts creeping up inside. Try adopting a "zero tolerance" policy for those nagging voices and self-destructive thoughts; don't let them control your life, and focus on the positive.

Biënnale Interieur 2016: Van Hoecke develops concept drawer that combines functionality with design.
In The Circus at Biënnale Interieur 2016, Van Hoecke showed a concept drawer that made everyone look differently to this essential tool. A world without drawers would always look disorganized, but how could we give a tray that something extra? At Biënnale, we presented two brand new concept ideas developed by Enthoven Associates.
How can drawers in their original form still be appealing? In order to find an answer a team of design specialists collaborated with product developers from Enthoven Associates. The result of this collaboration was shown in premiere at Biënnale Interieur 2016. Together, the design specialists and product designers integrated TA'OR BOX, a self-developed drawer and a real success story for Van Hoecke, in a stylish vide-poche: the typical box at the front door where you can easily store your car keys, wallet, hair clips and letters when you come home. This concept was fitted with a steel frame, an integrated TA'OR drawer and the possibility to add a flower pot thus transforming a practical drawer into a design object.
In addition, Van Hoecke also showed an ingenious coffee unit, fitted with a modular frame and several drawers, that is both practical and emphasizes the enjoyment of making fresh coffee.
Both concepts can be seen as the concept car of a large car manufacturer. Biënnale Interieur is the ultimate event to gather feedback from both the end consumer and professionals alike. This co-creating allowed the R & D cell of Van Hoecke to assess if it is interesting to further develop these concepts.
Below are some impressions of our booth!

WHETHER IT'S SURVIVING ON A REMOTE ISLAND, SAILING THE HIGH SEAS OR VENTURING DEEP INTO THE JUNGLE, RISK MANAGEMENT COMPANY REMOTE TRAUMA HAS THE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE TO KEEP EVERYONE INVOLVED SAFE.
As the latest survival and adventure programmes
show, TV has the power to transport viewers to distant and often dangerous parts of the world, but the crew and on-screen talent charting these unfamiliar territories are risking a lot to bring these realities to our screens.
Whether it's Channel 4's The Island with Bear
Grylls, which begins its fourth series next month, or
the latest version of the original global reality series,
Survivor, broadcasters and viewers are demanding
more and more from these kinds of programmes and
this thrill-seeking approach to content often means
close encounters with danger in a very real sense.
"There is definitely a greater appetite for risk," says Alex
Bohanna, owner of safety and health risk management
company Remote Trauma, which has supported both
shows alongside a plethora of content for UK broadcasters, as well as Discovery and National Geographic.
"It's partly because life for the majority has become
so much safer now. People can feel like they haven't
really tested themselves and their perception of risk
doesn't really exist."
It can also be high stakes for the film crews working
in these challenging environments, and that is where
Remote Trauma comes in.
Bohanna's 25-strong team has years of experience
across a wide spectrum of disciplines, from military to
medical, expeditions and security, and was set up
specifically to support production companies taking
on these trickier shoots.
"Every one of my team has dealt with serious injury,
illness and, on occasion, death, in their professional
life outside of TV," Bohanna says. "Our people have
seen the real side of it, the physical and psychological
impact when it goes wrong."
It's not just this expertise that sets Remote Trauma
apart from the competition, it's a mindset. It takes a
lot to deter them or, as Bohanna calls it, "PTP" – pull
the plug. "Our holistic approach, getting in at the early
stages with production and editorial, means we can
give advice about what works and how to get the 'wow'
factor. I can't tell a story or edit a show but I can
provide safe parameters to operate within while still
delivering the jeopardy. Anything can be achieved with
sufficient planning and the right kind of support."
Bohanna points to a few scenarios: dealing with
extreme heat, humidity and tropical illness in a South
American jungle for SAS: Who Dares Wins (Channel 4/
Minnow Films) or managing severe weather events and
sea conditions on Shine TV's The Island With Bear Grylls
(UK, USA, France, Norway, Spain and Holland series).
Channel 4's current series Mutiny, produced by
Windfall Films and supported by Remote Trauma on
location, is another example and a sign of things to
come; C4 history commissioning editor Rob Coldstream
is calling for more pitches of "epic" re-enactments.
But this kind of programming doesn't come easy.
Remote Trauma has responded to this demand,
carving out a niche as a specialist provider supporting
adventure and high-risk television-making in far-flung
"A number of my safety peers have said they do not
have the appetite or feel comfortable dealing with this
level of risk," Bohanna says. "But my philosophy is, no
matter how extreme the idea, I know we can find a way
to help deliver it safely for everyone concerned."
There are, naturally, some ethical boundaries –
if a participant has a particular issue that puts themselves
or others at risk, for example. But short of
"filming a reality show in a war zone", there's not
much that fazes Bohanna and his team.
"There are always things that come out of leftfield,"
Bohanna says. "You can't always fully guarantee that
accidents won't happen, but if you plan properly, the vast
majority of risks can be managed in the early stages."

See, this is what I'm talking about. It always takes me about two drafts to respond to paragraphs like that. Your summaries of what I've said contain some of the strangest presumptions. I have to repeat how this or that was not the connection I made. So, that biking is a left-wing darling is not my fault. And I said Michael Moore is a left wing propagandist, not spouter, the connective issue between O'Reilly and Moore is propaganda, not left-wingedness. The connection between Moore and bikes was not even implied. I was, in fact, dismissive of Moore in my original, therefore I am saying that I do not see Moore as representing a "true" left message. I thought you knew Theory Of Logic.
Frankly, bike-riding shouldn't be a left wing thing, it should be universally acknowledged that a bike has no intrinsic political agenda. But somehow the fact that I don't burn 2 gallons a mile with a giant flag plastered on the side of my vehicle has become some sort of beacon of the hippie movement.
And I didn't give bike-riding as the antithesis of vehicular transport. I give it as the antithesis of owning a Hummer, the somehow defacto vehicle of the right. Thus returning us to where I said this whole thing is going a bit beyond reading between my lines. I said I bike rather than driving, not that I bike because all cars are evil and should be destroyed. As I said, that *makes* me a leftie not that it's some sort of manifesto for me. For exactly the reasons I gave in the preceding paragraph in fact. Due, in part, to people like O'Reilly and Beck.
Thus, the important points so far: Moore, Limbaugh, Coulter are propagandists, regardless of their avowed political affiliation. Bikes have been made into a left-wing issue and I proudly bike so I hold it up as an example of how NOT in the Limbaugh camp I am. You didn't say anything about my tarot analogy, which still fits in nicely with your assertion that you're "understanding who listens to them", so why aren't you visiting psychics regularly then?
And addressing your thoughts on originality. I am a firm believer that there is a big difference between an open mind and one that is merely vacant. If I occasionally agree with Moore, or Beck or whoever that does not question my originality, it means we achieved the consensus that you seem to think is a good thing. Automatically assuming that because some line I gave sounds like something you heard on Hannity it therefore makes me a mindless left-wing zombie is just plain absurd. Way back, I said that I was surprised that you didn't know that Beck and Limbaugh share a script. Somehow this has been turned into how I scorn all things that aren't Al Franken. I never said anything of the kind. "Coulter is a media whore" is not the same as "Coulter is always wrong about all things ever because she's a right-wing crazy". I said the former, you have seemed to *assume* that I also said the latter. And as I stated originally, you said "they're starting to sound like Big Media" to which I replied "that's because they ARE Big Media". Now, somehow, what I said was turned into casting aspersions, and placed in a vaguely heretical light. Which would tend to indicate that I'm not the one who's operating strictly on faith and self supporting rhetoric. Beck says he's not Big Media and much like the Bible, we have only his word to support his assertion. If you're taking his word for it that's not my fault.
I"m at a loss to how this was spun into an attack on whatever grounds you've made for your political beliefs, because the OP and my replies have attempted to be about about people who believe the media -- Jon included -- not undermining the protagonists.
And we know the language cannot be reduced to logic (Carnap, Quine) so saying that you could convey something purely logical that had been illogically misunderstood by me is impossible. There are lines to read inbetween; hence it's language. "bike and not drive" in the context of a sentence that just asserted "i'm politically liberal" must be implied as evidence. That's typical of a very brief essay form (assertion, evidence correspondence). Why else justify your political views with examples in reality? If this wasn't justification, then the queer bit doesn't make sense. Sure you could argue that Log Cabin Republicans exist and that the list wasn't meant as something to be implied but I think your reply was meant to say queer theory meshes better with liberal politics, therefore you are far left. The points about these statements having no political agenda begs the question, "well why use them in the context of a political thread?" So I mostly compelled to draw conclusions from what is said, otherwise why was it said. This goes for the radio shows and books as well, except I've no interest debating what Limbaugh says but was only interested in where his sources came from and why people believe him.
One thing I don't get is your psychic/tarot card reading reference. That one might be a lack of culture, as you astutely recalled. :)
Well, I disagree with your idea that illogic is intrinsic to language. I think what I've said is quite straightforward, illogical analysis is unnecessary. But since that discussion could go on for several volumes (and has), I'll skip it for now. However, the grouping I chose was as a collection of things that I am and how those things are generally placed in the leftist camp. I suppose, the closest I could get to explanation, was analogy by way of exaggeration. Somewhat like when O'Reilly says things like "Of course I'm a Right-winger, I have a brain." Well, of course I must be an Egghead Commie Liberal because of all the reasons I gave. The point was more to do with your argument about originality versus rhetoric than anything to do with my politics. By virtue of who I am I tend to be lumped into the "left-wing" camp. And while I'm here I feel it's worth noting that you've never asked my feelings on gun control and yet you also mentioned that my blog is leftist, QED.
I prefer to think that what I have to say I say because it is reasonable to me, not because anyone agrees with me or because it gets me Proctor and Gamble ad dollars. Can the same be said for Coulter?
Therefore the agenda I had was that I don't dislike any particular person exclusively for what they say, I dislike them when I know that what they say will change the moment their funding gets cut. Which is why I gave the entertainment history of so many of the Fox News luminaries, I was making that same point, they all get the same funding and all play in the same sandbox. Beck gets his ideas from others and turns them into a miss-mash of xenophobia and faux-Capitalism. His sources are eminently more useful than him. But his sources are not what we're discussing. Which leads me to my final point.
Why do I keep mentioning the tarot reading? Your argument, as I understand, for avoiding atrophy is to immerse yourself in the thoughts of those who are foreign to you. My answer to that is, that's a lousy reason for listening to propagandist gas bags of whatever political affiliation. Because, by your reasoning, you should also, as often as possible, go to psychics and faith-healers, a few snake-handler ceremonies, and get involved in each, because to do otherwise risks a lack of perspective. But the thing is, you don't actually believe it. Because Limbaugh is easy to understand, he tries to shock people, same with Beck, same with Coulter, same with O-Reilly, same with Hannity. Understanding them cannot and will not help anyone to understand their audience. To understand their audience you'd have to talk to their audience, and you have not done that. It's a lazy way of claiming to have done your homework, and as an Anthropologist I say you have an incredibly bad analytical model. Which is surprising given your obvious awareness of what a good analytical model looks like. Had you said that you listened to him to know your enemy, I would have bought that. But by saying that *he* gives you insight into *them* without the *them* being present is just a flat out lie. Bad research always yields invalid conclusions my dear sir. Thus, by your reasoning, you could just as easily be visiting a psychic twice a week.
You've stepped on a toe and are wrong for doing it.
I've spoken and listened to many conservative friends and families about healthcare, Iraq, etc. Not all of them listen or watch Limbaugh, so you're making assumptions that I think all conservatives believe Fox. The nearest I came to that connection is the same way Stewart stereotypes conservatives as gun carrying, town hall attendees; it's done by exaggeration and humor. Of course I call groups "them". This is language; we group things to generalize.
Don't take this to the high horse of anthropology and think my OP was some amateur's misuse of your academic background, because it wasn't. You of all people should know that the analytical model your exposing has objective problems of its own, particularly the observer altering the original environment for the sake of "talking to the audience". Sometimes I wish no one was allowed use of the term science or analysis until they've solved a few problems in relativistic physics because you realize that a) analysis and science are still contextually determined and b) it makes this kind of Peace Corp versus arm chair attack moot.
It's disgusting that you've extrapolated these kinds of personal insults ("it's a lazy way of doing your homework", "you have an incredibly bad analytical model") to a journal entry that linked a Friday editorial to a series of Monday talk shows! Go re-read it. It's like you excised a personal vendetta out of a simpleton's commentary! If you're claiming the more objective perspective then you'll have to stick to the OP.
Perhaps this is why some of your older journal entries talk about people complaining about your heated and intense responses. You don't have to fight about minutia when "friends" are generally in agreement! I'll go and meditate now. That's as close to tarot card and psychic reading that I'll get to (for now, but I could always be convinced to try :).
"I started wondering if News Corp owned every radio station that broadcasts talk radio on AM channels from WV to IL. That seemed unlikely but the conspicuous repitition made the shows sound like the very kind of State Media that Limbaugh claims NPR spouts out. . . Please, Republicans; be more original."
"The point was to challenge beliefs. it's really just an exercise in openness. The reason I have a copy of Ann Coulter is, as a friend of mine once called it, to avoid "cognitive atrophy".
"Coulter and media darlings isn't the point. The point was understanding who listens to them in a kind of political yin-yang."
"I've no interest debating what Limbaugh says but was only interested in where his sources came from and why people believe him."
The following conclusions were drawn: Republicans agree with Limbaugh. Reading Coulter is an exercise in open mindedness and understanding of her readership. And that listening to Limbaugh can inform why people listen to him.
If I have stepped on a toe then it was a toe put out there to be stepped on. Your justification was understanding, my statement was that it's impossible to understand the audience by understanding the speaker. I really don't care if you have a problem with me taking "the high horse of Anthropology". It is a science who's methods have been shaped by the mistakes of the past. The same is easily said of physics or any other analytical template. That shaping has given a method in which I have been educated and it is better than the argument you were making. And it's incredibly disingenuous to invoke physics in defense of not observing the particle in favor of observing the accelerator.
If you are offended that was not my specific intention. I was questioning your reasoning through the rubric of your stated goal. I'm certainly not trying to spark some ad hominem free for all. But since I only have what explanations you've given, I worked with what I had. I would hasten to note that at the misunderstandings I have caused I immediately clarified and explained. Conversely, you've simply accused me of being unnecessarily fight-y.
I didn't assume anything. I went by what you told me and questioned that information. If what you offered was incomplete or contrary to your intention then you've obviously had ample time to correct the missing information. You've certainly expected me to. If you could show me how any of the above quotes were taken so completely out of context that I managed, somehow, to read the exact opposite of their true meaning, I'd like to hear it.
This whole thing is really not a big deal to me. Up to now it was simply a discussion. Whatever emotionally charged qualities are being brought this are neither my intention or my desire. If you want to be pissed off at me, I can't stop you.
In answer to your charge that I don't have to fight about minutia, you are absolutely right, if that minutia happens to be everything someone's said. By analogy that would mean that the people I've had trouble with on other boards were assuming they'd said things they actually hadn't and that I was being obstinate by expecting that they be as clear and thorough in their explanations as I was. So I'm somehow a jerk for wanting things spelled out then. I will gladly say guilty as charged. And which of us has taken the high horse when straight out the gate you accused me of being blind for thinking O'Reilly is disingenuous, that I am incapable of being an informed observer, and that I am unoriginal and conformist merely because I had the audacity to point out that Limbaugh used to be a DJ in the 80s? I didn't get shitty with you, and in response you've required that I rationalize almost every point I've made. In some cases twice. And at that level of hyperbole it really makes me question your taking exception at this late date and playing the 'dis-honour' card.
I don't want this fight and I don't see the point. You required that I justify, I did. I required that you justify, you got offended. Obviously this is better left alone.
This is called reverse psychology. I'm not mad, so why do you infer that? If person A claims person B is insulted, then person B claims that person A inferred the insult, and around and around we go in a perennial problem well known in psychology (and arguments). I can only say that the toe being stepped on was an inference that I don't talk to Republicans but only talk *about* Republicans. THAT's disingenuous. The actual statements evidently need clarification.
"I started wondering if News Corp owned every radio station that broadcasts talk radio on AM channels from WV to IL. That seemed unlikely but the conspicuous repitition made the shows sound like the very kind of State Media that Limbaugh claims NPR spouts out. . . "
This is me clearly doubting an assumption based on no evidence. Just because someone admits their bias doesn't mean that, whatever their conclusion, it is invalid. This really presses people to be dishonest or at least censor their words. The irony (of injustice) is that you appealed to the same reality although specific to newcasters: "News never exists in a vacuum, there's always a bias, even with an eye-witness." Newscasters are just a subset of humans. I think we'd agree that we should confront and be honest about these biases, but I'm saying that people who admit them shouldn't be arrested for thought-crime.
Please, Republicans; be more original."
Are you disputing that Rove was the political strategist in the Bush administration? Or that the radio shows weren't using Rove's talking points?
This was taken as causal when it's meant as a correlation. I'm saying exposure to opposing views stimulates dialog and compromise. Is sounds like it was mistaken as me saying reading Coulter *causes* open mindedness, which is absurd. I'd never relate cognitive and social abilities directly to a book list.
This is my failed attempt to express the former.
There are two parts to this and it's probably the root of the misunderstanding. I'm claiming an "interest" in a) conservative talk radio all having the same script and b) conservatives basing their anti-healthcare arguments on the same script. Note again there's no causality. The claim wasn't made that all Republicans believe everything Limbaugh says. I'd have had to insert a few more universal quantifiers to even come near that conclusion.
So I've clarified what I was saying with the quotes you cite as grounds for some baseless conclusions about conservatives. I find this just as insulting as answering your question:
"But since he was probably high as a kite on illegally obtained vicadin at the time, do you really want to count yourself in his camp?"
with "You think I count myself in his camp??"
This kind of rhetoric can easily become literal and confusing. I could have misunderstood your question (and I hope that I did not). The beginning of your first reply was an admission to confusion, and I always find the source of those to be both the writers' and readers'. For example, you claimed "I can't really "believe" in the Daily Show." This raised a fundamentally philosophic disagreement from the get-go between us. You could call on that "suspension of belief" concept but doing say makes your arguments inconsistent. Earlier you gave testimony from Jon,
"The Daily Show did a video montage ... But none of this is new, even the Daily Show treats it like a regular feature rather than a one-off 'hey isn't that weird' sort of thing."

Mexican union declares victory in strike at 48 border plants
A union declared total victory in a mass strike by about 25,000 workers at 48 assembly plants in a Mexican border city, but the movement spawned a storm of wildcat walkouts Monday at other businesses.
The Industrial Workers and Laborers' Union won 20 percent wage increases at all 48 "maquiladora" factories in Matamoros, across the border from Brownsville, Texas. It also won a one-time bonus of about 32,000 pesos, about $1,685 at current exchange rates.
Now workers at about a dozen non-union businesses as well as factories organized by other unions have started wildcat walkouts to demand the same increases, known colloquially as "20/32."
The Tridonex auto parts company said in posts on its Facebook page Monday that pickets had prevented employees from entering its Matamoros plant and it cancelled some shifts. Video showed workers outside the plant chanting "20/32!"
The local maquiladora association, known as Index, said that all the plants in the association had signed labor contracts as of last week and that none of the businesses affected by the wildcat strikes are members.
Javier Guerrero, a Matamoros public relations specialist who has been active in strike support work, said the example set by the first round of strikes has spread to local businesses, many of which are not maquiladoras, which assemble products for export to the United States.
Supermarkets, bottlers and a milk company in Matamoros were reportedly hit by walkouts.
"In the past week, the strike wave has spread beyond the factories to supermarkets and other employers, with all the workers demanding "20/32," said the AFL-CIO, which has sent a delegation to support the striking workers.
The mass strike erupted after President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador decreed a doubling of the minimum wage in Mexico's border zones, apparently unaware that some union contracts at the maquiladora plants are indexed to minimum wage increases.
While other Mexican cities don't have the same contract clauses, for workers often making less than $1 an hour, the appeal of a pay raise and bonus has proved irresistible.
"Just as happened in Matamoros, it (the walkouts) spread to other companies and unions. It is very probable that it will spread to other cities, at least within the border area," Guerrero said.
There has been a generalized upsurge in Mexico's long-dormant labor movement since Lopez Obrador took office Dec. 1, something the president doesn't appear to have planned on or encouraged. Lopez Obrador has simply promised to keep the government out of unions' internal affairs and allow for free and fair union elections.
For a union movement kept in check for decades by pro-company union bosses allied with the former ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, the promise of union democracy has been enough to spark a revival.
But there has already been a backlash.
"In the past week, as many as 2,000 strike leaders have been fired and blacklisted, despite legal prohibitions and non-reprisal agreements signed by the employers," said the U.S. union delegation, which included representatives from the AFL-CIO, United Auto Workers and United Steelworkers.
"The Mexican and U.S. governments must both demand that these U.S. companies honor their agreements and stop firing and blacklisting these courageous workers," said Texas AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Montserrat Garibay.
Meanwhile, Lopez Obrador has been struggling with the most radical and intractable union in Mexico, the CNTE teachers' union, which has blocked railroad lines in the western state of Michoacan on and off for the last month.
The teachers lifted most blockades last week but on Monday they briefly re-established a protest camp on a line operated by Kansas City Southern de Mexico.
KCSM reported that by late Monday, the camp had been removed and the line re-opened. But the company said that during 28 days of blockages, 414 trains were prevented from running and 3.5 million tons of freight was stalled.
The teachers initially started the blockages to demand back pay, but they kept blocking rail lines even after they were paid.

Anaconda (1997)
Published April 11, 1997 | By Jester
DIRECTOR: Luis Llosa
CAST: Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, Eric Stoltz, Jonathan Hyde, Owen Wilson, Kari Wuhrer, Vincent Castellanos, Danny Trejo
Much like 1995's The Ghost and the Darkness, Anaconda is another hokey '90s creature feature that tries to do for its designated "monster" what Jaws, the grand daddy of them all, did for sharks. With The Ghost and the Darkness, it was a pair of man-eating lions. With the simply-titled Anaconda (recalling the B-movie Piranha), its giant people-swallowing snakes in the depths of the Amazonian jungle. And much like the previous Jaws wannabe, Anaconda just can't get the hang of this sort of thing. But unlike the lion movie, that was self-serious to a sometimes unintentionally comical extent, Anaconda at least has a goofy, campy element, and its level of intentional tongue-in-cheek humor, while not going all-out with it on as fun of a level as Tremors, has led to it becoming a "so bad it's good" cult classic that can be enjoyed on a silly level as long as you're not trying to take it too seriously.

The Saint (1997)
Published April 4, 1997 | By Jester
DIRECTOR: Philip Noyce
CAST: Val Kilmer, Elisabeth Shue, Rade Sherbedgia, Valery Nikolaev, Michael Byrne, Henry Goodman, Alun Armstrong, Charlotte Cornwell
An adaptation of the 1960s television series, which was itself an adaptation of Leslie Charteris' series of novels, The Saint is a fairly lightweight and insubstantial international spy caper that comes off a bit like second-rate James Bond (an irony on multiple levels, as Ian Fleming's James Bond novels were in part inspired by Charteris' Saint novels, and the television series starred future 007 Roger Moore). The Saint is an enjoyable enough diversion, but doesn't make much of an impression alongside higher-level spy thrillers. Continue reading →

Additive manufacturing has a wide array of applications, such as creating custom medical devices, aerospace components, and artwork. With the list of potential uses continuing to grow, it's important that this type of manufacturing can keep up with the demand. However, analyzing and optimizing this complex process can be difficult. What can engineers do to overcome this challenge?
Professor Roger says that, in a sense, additive manufacturing is a bit like sewing or weaving. In both processes, a heterogeneous finished product is created by controlling how different raw materials are consolidated. In weaving, the materials are usually thread and yarn; however, additive manufacturing can use many materials, including polymers, metal alloys, ceramics, and composites.
Choosing the right materials is important for creating an ideal finished product, be it a warm blanket (left, woven by my grandmother) or a customized aerospace part (right). Right image in the public domain in the United States, via Wikimedia Commons.
This wide range of materials means that additive manufacturing can be used to design a large amount of unique objects across many industries. For instance, Roger mentions that by using the right materials and thermodynamic conditions, engineers can make objects that withstand or adapt to severe environmental conditions. Such objects could even adapt to certain temperatures or chemical conditions by changing their shape or releasing chemical species (like drugs) that are trapped in a matrix. A transformation over time would add another dimension to the printed part, resulting in "4D printing".
Sometimes, additive manufacturing parts are inspired by natural forms, like the bio-inspired example pictured here. Image courtesy Frédéric Roger.
According to Roger, the many opportunities that come with additive manufacturing make it "an unavoidable manufacturing process," as it "offers new opportunities to develop optimized structures with advanced materials." However, before engineers can create these structures, they have to improve the additive manufacturing process.
To account for these factors, engineers can use the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, which Roger mentions is "a unique software that has great advantages in the simulation of additive manufacturing." The software helps engineers to not only "optimize the additive manufacturing process but also to predict the mechanical and microstructural consequences on the product." Through this, engineers can include all of the relevant physics and determine the ideal manufacturing conditions and part geometries that balance the needs of stiffness, weight reduction, and heat dissipation.

A challenge is that analyzing the additive manufacturing process while coupling the relevant physics can result in large model sizes and long computational times. To overcome this issue, Roger implements several different simulation strategies, such as activating mesh properties, using adaptive remeshing, and performing sequential simulations.
By taking a sequential approach, Roger is able to better analyze the succession of thermodynamic states that a material experiences during additive manufacturing. At the same time, this approach helps to reduce the complexity of the multiphysics couplings by dissociating them over time. As such, sequential simulations provide a way to comprehensively model and optimize the additive manufacturing process while reducing computational costs.
For their simulations, Roger and his team focused on fused-deposition modeling (FDM®), a common additive manufacturing technique that is both affordable and enables control over process parameters. The aim of the study was to optimize the internal and external geometry of a printed thermoplastic part and achieve the best possible performance. To accomplish these goals in an efficient manner, the team split their analysis into three parts, discussed below.
For more information about this study, check out the researchers' paper.
In the first part of the study, the researchers wanted to minimize the total weight of a printed structure while maintaining a material distribution that maximizes stiffness. To do so, they used topological optimization and structural mechanics analysis to study a mechanical structure exposed to a tensile load.

In the heterogeneous case, the team created a more resistant domain in the high-stress middle area by using a higher density of infill. At the same time, they minimized the weight of the external areas by using less material. The results indicated that the ideal geometry contains 60% material in the high-stress region and 20% material in the low-stress regions.

As shown below, the multimaterial case involved using red ABS plastic on the ends of the part and black conductive ABS with improved mechanical properties in the middle. The team found that they could replace the conductive ABS with materials similar to ABS that have reinforced filters to increase stiffness.

After optimizing the inner and outer designs of the 3D-printed part, the researchers modeled the fused thermoplastic deposition process and evaluated manufacturing parameters. The resulting simulations helped them to accurately predict thermal history, wetting conditions, polymer crystallization, interactions between filaments, and residual stresses and strains. One example is shown below, depicting the plastic strain during the heating and cooling process.

The study also investigated the heat and mass transfer within the first two layers of a thin-walled tube. The researchers were then able to analyze the plastic droplet deposition process and identify areas where the filaments reached fusion temperature. The animations of the material deposition study are shown below. They depict a heat source moving along a deposition pattern and heating the filaments up to fusion temperature, ~230°C for ABS droplets. The extruder path domain in the simulations is premeshed and the meshes are continuously activated depending on the extruder's position.

Here, blue indicates a nonactivated mesh and the physical properties (thermal conductivity and stiffness) are close to zero. Animations courtesy Frédéric Roger.
Using these simulations, Roger and his team predicted the temperature field between the filaments during the deposition process, an important factor that affects filament adhesion. Similar analyses could help researchers compare different additive manufacturing conditions and determine the best deposition strategy for a specific application.
Roger says that these simulations enabled his team to "define an additive manufacturing part whose internal and external architectures give it the best possible industrial performance." Of course, this is only the start of what can be achieved by combining additive manufacturing and multiphysics simulation.

Q: Probability of two fixed-length line segments intersecting within a circular domain Imagine placing a line segment P of length a on the XY plane such that its middle is at the origin, but its orientation is random (i.e. random angle). Then suppose you placed another line segment Q of length b (which is less than or equal to a) such that its centre was randomly chosen within a radius (a+b)/2 from the origin, but its orientation was also random. What would the probability of these two line segments intersecting be?
I suspect there may be an integral over the circular surface to be done here, but am not quite sure what to do! Any help much appreciated. Thank you.

A: Let the segment of length $a$ be called $A$, and that with length $b$ be called $B$.
Now, whatever the orientation of $A$, the probability of intersection shall be the same due to circular symmetry. So just fix $A$ to lie on the $x-axis$.
For $B$, let its center be at $(r,\theta)$ so that its equation is $(x-rcos\theta)^2 + (y-rsin\theta)^2 = b^2/4$. This will intersect the X axis when
$(x-rcos\theta)^2 = b^2/4 - (rsin\theta)^2$. This gives the conditions $-b/4<rsin\theta<b/4$ and $rcos\theta + \sqrt{(b^2/4-(rsin\theta)^2)}<a/2$ or $rcos\theta - \sqrt{(b^2/4-(rsin\theta)^2)}>-a/2$. Further, the itegral will have to be multiplied by a factor $\alpha/2\pi$ where $\alpha = 2rsin\theta/b$.
This will be a messy thing to integrate, but it can be done.
