During the summer, nothing is better than going to the beach with some friends. Drinking beer, meeting new people, and having adventures with your buddies is always an exciting thing to do. If you love surfing, then you must be planning on buying some new boardshorts. Aside from surfing, they are also great both for getting a tan or swimming around as they won't be pulled off and they dry pretty quickly.
Here's a great choice that we have picked for you—the Birdwell Men's Board Shorts. This pair is a quality option for men all around the globe, thanks to its long list of interesting features and high-quality construction.
Birdwell is a business that specializes in making beach shorts for men. They have been doing that ever since 1961, and are one of the longest lasting companies in the industry. Years of experience and research have given their products a stellar reputation and an even better quality.
The Birdwell Men's Board Shorts are one of their most beloved beach britches and a favorite among many surfers around the world, and if you are looking for one, join us as we examine this pair further.
Boardshorts are a favorite of many professional surfers all around the world. However, you don't have to be a board enthusiast to wear them. They are a great piece of sportswear for any guy who is going to the beach or is planning to visit the pool.
This particular model is a bit more expensive than the competitors' products, but the high-quality design and the famous brand ensure that you get more than your money's worth.
There are no bonus items, or a warranty provided, that you will get when you purchase a pair of Birdwell Men's Board Shorts. However, know that they come in varying sizes, prints, and colors that you can choose from. Make sure to look at all the options and pick the pair that suits you the most.
The first feature is the one that is present in all Birdwell beach shorts—the wax pocket with a circle and an internal drain hole. The grommets are nickel-plated, and they feature a triple lace closure that will ensure your shorts won't get pulled off by the waves.
The famous Birdwell logo is woven on the middle of the waistband, which will showcase your affinity for this successful brand. The drawcord is made out nylon, and there are additional buttons that will provide even more security if the triple laces aren't enough for you.
You can choose from sizes starting from 28 to 42. The outseams are elastic and measure 17 inches long if you pick the smallest size and 21 inches for the largest size. This range will be enough for almost all the men out there so you can be sure that the perfect model for you is available.
A large assortment of colors and prints are another great feature that this brand has. If you are a fashion lover, you will spend hours just looking at the beautiful designs and trying to pick the one that fits you the most.
Finally, the SurfNyl design will ensure the highest amount of durability and comfort that you can find in a pair of board shorts. The material is 100% nylon, and everything is triple-stitched while being hand-cut and professionally sewn at the same time.
This type of shorts is the most popular option for the beach, but they can be sported virtually anywhere you go during summer time. They look excellent on men and will make you appear more fit, thanks to the unique surfer design.
Boardshorts are known to lose elasticity and size if washed using high temperatures. For this reason, it's recommended to wash them using cold water so they wouldn't shrink.
For those who aren't a fan of nylon shorts, there are many other great options available. For that, we recommend also getting a pair of the O'Neill GI Jack Patriotic Hyperfreak Boardshorts that are made out of 91% polyester.
They are just as durable and elastic as the main product and have the same quality. A unique feature is a zipped pocket that you might find useful if you're planning on taking your mobile phone or wallet to the beach. They offer fewer print options, but most of them are camo and have some patriotic flag options.
Another great choice that is also budget-friendly is the Billabong Men's 73 X Boardshort. The quality is a bit lower compared to the other products we have reviewed, but they do deliver.
As you can see, the Birdwell Men's Board Shorts is one of the best options on the market. It features everything from security, durability, and comfort to a high variety of fashionable prints. The triple-lace closure is there to ensure your shorts won't get pulled off. Besides that, the three stitches on each seam will provide the durability that makes Birdwell products so attractive.
If you aren't a fan of the nylon design, though, then take a look at the alternatives we presented. Among the options we have shown you in this article, there is definitely the perfect pair of beach britches for you.

Fun things to do with your kids on chilly winter days If your family has come down with a very contagious case of cabin fever, try a change of scenery with these suggestions. Check out this story on UpstateParent.com: https://www.upstateparent.com/story/life/2016/02/01/fun-things-kids-chilly-winter-days/79639948/

Casey Amarnek and her son take advantage of the free activities offered by the Spartanburg County Libraries.(Photo: CINDY HOSEA/Staff)
The Upstate is a treasure trove of parks, natural beauty, trails and more. But let's face it: February isn't usually the best time for outdoor fun. If your family has come down with a very contagious case of cabin fever, maybe it's time for a change of scenery — a climate-controlled escape.
Casey Amarnek knows that need all too well. She is the mom of a 4½-year-old son and she is also president of the Spartanburg MOMS Club. The group has about 70 active members who can choose from a full slate of events. It's how Amarnek plans much of her schedule.
"To get out of the house, a lot of our activities are MOMS Club activities," she said.
Amarnek said those events include playing at indoor centers like Pump It Up or PlayNation (now Play USA) or just going to the mall. Indoor crafts and outings to locations such as Hearts of Clay are options some members choose for hands-on fun.
"We schedule a lot of activities in members' homes," she said. "We are starting interest groups."
In-home play dates might have a focus on music, for example, or they might include coffee for the moms.
But no matter what the activity, Amarnek said the time with other parents and children is about more than just getting out of the house.
"It's been great for us to get to know people and build relationships for my son and myself," she said.
Amarnek said moms, especially those who are new to the area, should reach out to others even if it's a little outside their comfort zone.
"Give it a try," she said. "You need to see familiar faces and then you become more comfortable talking to people. I would never want a mom to feel isolated or alone. Don't let something hold you back from what you can experience."
For more information about Spartanburg MOMS Club, visit http://www.momsclubofspartanburg.com.
More than books
Your local library offers events that are age-appropriate, free and great for children and their parents. Amanda Newman, coordinator of development for Spartanburg County Public Libraries, said events are offered for all ages.
"We have story times all the time," Newman said. "They include a lot of music and movement. In our story times, not only do we read to the children, but we have music and then interactive play time. It's a good opportunity for moms to network as well. They have time to interact and socialize."
As the mother a toddler, Newman knows exactly how important those events can be.
"It's a good opportunity to get out of the house and it's free," she said.

It may require a little more than a last-minute decision, but indoor fun is definitely on the schedule at the South Carolina Children's Theatre. In addition to main stage shows at the Peace Center and the organization's annual character breakfast planned for March 12, SCCT has Wee Play Theatre and Tell Me a Story Programs at its headquarters location.
SCCT's marketing director Michelle Ward said programs for preschoolers are very popular and they are great for children and their parents.
"We have extended our Wee Play Theatre production, "Go to Bed, Little Raccoon!" through March," she said. "This is a great way to participate and introduce your little one to a live theater experience."
For schedules and tickets, visit http://scchildrenstheatre.org.
Here are a few more of our indoor favorites:

Muslim funeral traditions and what to wear to a Muslim funeral service

Muslim beliefs about death
Most Muslims believe that the good deeds they do in life will be rewarded with entry into Paradise on the Day of Judgement, which is when the world will end. On this day, they believe that the dead will rise and will either live in peace in Paradise or suffer in Hell.
Although this is a common belief among Muslims, there are many different sects within Islam, so the rituals and beliefs may vary between each.
Planning a Muslim funeral
The Islamic faith has quite firm guidelines regarding funeral services and how long after death a Muslim is buried. Islamic funeral arrangements begin immediately after the death of a loved one, since according to Islamic law, they must be buried as soon as possible.
Families will usually contact a local Islamic organisation so they can help with the planning of the funeral, as well as choosing a local funeral director with experience arranging a Muslim funeral.
Islamic funeral traditions
Generally, organ donation is allowed in Islam. However, autopsies are seen as a desecration and are not accepted by Islamic law, although they may still be a legal requirement in the UK.
Cremation is also prohibited, whereas embalming is accepted on occasion.
What happens before a Muslim funeral?
The preparation before an Islamic funeral consists of two rituals called Ghusl and Kafan.
In the Ghusl, close family members of the same sex as the person who has died wash the person who has passed away. They are usually washed three times, but additional washes are not uncommon.
The Kafan involves the covering and wrapping of the person with large simple sheets, one on top of the other. The material and colour of the cloth may vary according to regional customs, but men typically get buried with three sheets, whereas women are buried with five.
The person is placed on top of the sheets, with females traditionally being dressed in an ankle-length sleeveless dress and a head veil as well. The person is then wrapped in the material and secured with rope before being transported to the mosque.
Since Islamic law states that a person should be buried as soon as possible, usually no viewing takes place before a Muslim funeral service.
Islamic funeral service
In general most Islamic funerals follow a traditional running order. Firstly, mourners will congregate in the courtyard, prayer room or study room of the mosque and recite Islamic funeral prayers.
How long does a Muslim funeral last?
How long a Muslim funeral is can depend on the sect of Islam that a person belonged to, the location of their funeral, and the wishes of the family.
Muslim funeral rites are led by an Islamic leader, known as an imam, and usually last from 30 to 60 minutes, although can last longer. Besides funeral prayers, you can expect the service to include several readings from the Quran.
During the prayers, everyone must face towards Mecca and form at least three rows, with the closest male relative in the first row. Behind him the other male mourners, children and then women will assemble.
Muslim burial customs
After an Islamic funeral, following the completion of the funeral prayers, the congregation will line up in rows and pass the coffin from shoulder to shoulder towards the gravesite for burial. Non-Muslim mourners should keep at a respectful distance to allow the coffin to be carried.
In the Islamic tradition, only men are allowed to attend the burial, although some Muslim communities also allow women to be present. For a Muslim burial, the grave should be perpendicular to Mecca, the Islamic holy city, with the person placed on their right side facing Mecca. While the person is being placed into the grave, mourners recite a prayer.
Wood and stones are placed on top so that the soil does not come into direct contact with the person. The imam may recite another prayer, and each mourner will then throw a handful of soil into the grave.
What happens after a Muslim funeral?
Traditionally, the family will gather in their home and receive guests after a Muslim funeral. Usually the community provides food for the bereaved for the first three days after the funeral.
The mourning period lasts for 40 days, but can often vary depending on the family. Traditionally, the period of mourning for widows is even longer – four months and ten days – in which they are forbidden to interact with men who they could potentially marry.
Muslim funeral etiquette for non-Muslims
If you are attending an Islamic funeral and you are not a Muslim, it is important to be aware of Muslim funeral customs for non-Muslims. For example, the Islamic funeral prayer should be recited only by members of the Muslim faith, though respectful observers are welcome.
What should you wear to a Muslim funeral?
Both men and women are expected to dress modestly, so bear that in mind when deciding what to wear to an Islamic funeral. For men this usually means a shirt and trousers. Women should wear ankle length skirts, long-sleeved high-neck tops and a headscarf, and be sure that no clothing is tight or see-through.
Also be aware that shoes must be removed to enter the prayer hall of a mosque. Therefore you may want to wear presentable socks, tights or stockings.

HIMA's HIMax safety controller earned the new cyber security certificate from TÜV Rheinland.
The test agency certified the processor and the communications module in accordance with international standards IEC 62443-4-1, IEC 62443-4-2 and ISASecure EDSA 2.0.0.
The certificate is based on stringent testing and evaluation of all requirements regarding IT security over the entire lifetime of the safety controller, and it says the HIMax fulfils the requirements of security level SL 1.
The certification combines the highest safety (up to SIL 3) with IT security in a single system.
In the age of Industry 4.0 and IoT, industrial plants are no longer autonomous, but instead increasingly linked to the outside world. That means plant operation is only reliable when plant operators systematically implement cyber security measures in addition to functional safety. The key normative basis for this is the international standard IEC 62443, "IT security for industrial automation and control systems," which specifies separate network levels with defined conduits. The newly developed cyber security certificate from TÜV Rheinland also conforms to this standard.
TÜV Rheinland tests controllers in accordance with the IEC 62443 standard (Part 4-1, Secure Product Development Lifecycle Requirements, and Part 4-2, Technical security requirements for IACS components).
HIMA additionally received the Embedded Device Security Assurance (EDSA) certificate from ISASecure.
ISASecure certification (ISASecure EDSA 2.0.0 – Level 1) is based on a test methodology derived from the IEC 62443 standard. Along with these two certificates, the cyber security of the HIMax controller is documented by an Achilles Level 1 certificate issued by the independent Canadian industrial security specialist Wurldtech.


Newsletters are delivered via email and contain stories from teachers, links to articles and blog posts, along with resources.
The articles in the April newsletter were a very interesting read. How can we help students be more engaged in their learning and get more out of it? Some great points posed in the articles to help think about this.
Will Richardson provides a list of 9 things we tend to know about teaching. Students will forget a lot of what they "learn," they need authentic learning experiences that are engaging.
Classroom walkthroughs are not necessarily about helping teachers improve. Are students engaged in compliance or authentic engagement? Who is doing the work and the talking? Are students collaborating or merely sitting near each other?

California-Global Environmental Politics: Prop. 23 Who Wins…Who Loses? #VB89
Los Angeles, CA – The Full Disclosure Network ® presents a seven minute video debate over California's Proposition 23, the initiative to suspend implementation of the "Global Warming Solutions Act" (AB 32) enacted in 2006. The video debate features the following:
Jesse Marquez, Appointed to the California Global Warming Solutions Act EJ Advisory Committee and who is the founder and Executive Director of the Coalition for a Safe Environment is a UCLA trained Community Organizer.
Alex Alexiev, a former Rand Corporation Senior Public Policy and National Security Analyst with 32 years experience, is currently with the Hudson Institute.
Leslie Dutton, Moderator and Emmy Award winning Producer of the Full Disclosure Network cable TV and Internet productions.
Alexiev points out that California's Proposition 23 on the 2010 November ballot was designed by to temporarily stop implementation of "the Global Solutions Act" (AB32) which was signed into law in 2006. The law has come under scrutiny by public policy experts, who warn that the California economic crisis will be worsened by massive job losses created if the legislation is allowed to be implemented during a time of budget cuts, layoffs and fiscal crisis.
Marquez counters the negative claims that AB32 will be harmful and urges Proposition 23 to be defeated so that the new law can be implemented immediately to stop global warming and other public health related problems.


An investigation that found more than 20 percent of tested seafood is mislabeled in the United States found an even higher number in the Delmarva peninsula.
Scientists plan to tag 3,000 to 5,000 red snapper during April and May, as part of a study to estimate just how many of the popular sport and table fish live in the Gulf.
How can smelling fish cause an allergic reaction?
An 11-year-old boy died this week after he experienced a reaction to the smell of fish cooking. Here are some important facts to know about food allergies.
An 11-year-old boy apparently suffered a severe asthma attack and died when he inhaled the aroma of salt fish cooking in his grandmother's New York City home after going there to wish her a happy New Year, according to his mother.
The flooding from the deadly Hurricane Florence pushed the fish from their natural habitat and stranded them on the interstate, fire officials said.
Despite the muskie's reputation as a difficult-to-catch fish, one very big "escape artist" was reeled in by a Hagerstown woman.
While plates full of crab cakes, fried shrimp, flounder and salmon are easy to find, there's also a fish swimming in the same waters you are that the locals swear by as being the very best — if you can find it.
Poke outposts are popping up in cities such as Philadelphia, New York and Chicago — and D.C. is next.
Though a few of these seafood options may be new to you, try the recommended recipes for a fun, adventurous Good Friday dish.

Situated Technologies Pamphlets 2
Situated Technologies Pamphlets 2: Urban Versioning System 1.0 :: Matthew Fuller and Usman Haque with illustrations by David Cuesta :: now available from Lulu.com.
The second volume of the Situated Technologies Pamphlet Series asks the question: what lessons can architecture learn from software development, and more specifically, from the Free, Libre, and Open Source Software (FLOSS) movement? Written in the form of a quasi-license, Urban Versioning System 1.0 posits seven constraints that, if followed, will contribute to an open source urbanism that radically challenges the conventional ways in which cities are constructed.
About the Situated Technologies Pamphlet Series:
Series Editors: Omar Khan, Trebor Scholz, Mark Shepard — Published by the Architectural League of New York.
The Situated Technologies Pamphlet Series extends a discourse initiated in the summer of 2006 by a three-month-long discussion on the Institute for Distributed Creativity (iDC) mailing list that culminated in the Architecture and Situated Technologies symposium at the Urban Center and Eyebeam in New York, co-produced by the Center for Virtual Architecture (CVA), the Architectural League of New York and the iDC. The series explores the implications of ubiquitous computing for architecture and urbanism: how our experience of space and the choices we make within it are affected by a range of mobile, pervasive, embedded or otherwise "situated" technologies. Published three times a year over three years, the series is structured as a succession of nine "conversations" between researchers, writers and other practitioners from architecture, art, philosophy of technology, comparative media studies, performance studies, and engineering.

Confession: I used the Audio book to get me through to the end. I sat scanning the words in the book while listening to the wonderful native Dublin voices do the hard work. (In my defense, the Hart & Hayman and the Stuart Gilbert books WERE read cover to cover, there is no audio book for either of them that I know of.) while I wish my College degrees had been in Literature, History and Art History, they are actually in Computer Science, Accounting and Finance with a little Law thrown in in the form of a Paralegal Certification, so I do not feel qualified to make Literary comments. I have enjoyed all of the reads so far and always look forward to reading the blogs of the "Infinite Zombies" as I learn so much from them. I have compiled quite a list of Joyce-related books to read , ones that were mentioned here and 2 that Gilbert mentions Joyce read before or while writing Ulysses. Has anyone read another Joyce ? Joyce Cary ? I just recently read something about him and got curious and so have read "The Moonlight" and then his first trilogy "Herself Surprised", "To Be a Pilgrim" and am about 1/2 way through reading "The Horses Mouth" – I have seen the movie version of this with Alec Guinness.
I just saw this comment today. Isn't the audio fun to listen to (even if it doesn't make sense?) I assume you have the same narrator (Donnelly). It was pretty amazing hearing him say all these crazy things in so many different accents.
Hi Paul, Yes, I enjoyed the Audio very much. I thought both narrators were exceptional. Last night I watched the Movie "Bloom" for the first time. I thought most of it was really beautiful, even though some of the esisodes were out of order and 3 or 4 were left out or kindof combined, which I guess is to be exepected in trying to fit the book into 2 hrs.


I made these one night when Rowan and I were both craving something chocolatey. I had everything in my cupboard and they only took about 15 minutes to whip up. They are so delicious, plus they are gluten-free. They get they're sweetness from the dates so no added sugar. I love these "Lara" bar recipes because you can make a ton variations like Cashew Lemon, or Chocolate Chip Cookie.
Combine all of the ingredients (except water) in a food processor. Process until mixture holds together. If the mixture is too dry, add a little water. Dump mixure onto a some wax paper and flatten out into a square about 1 inch thick. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until firm. Slice into squares.


BEIJING (Reuters) - A youth named by China as the second-highest figure in Tibetan Buddhism, but reviled as a fake by many Tibetans, began an important Buddhist rite on Thursday, the first time in 50 years it has happened in Tibet, state media said.
Although officially atheist, China selected Gyaltsen Norbu as the 11th Panchen Lama in 1995 in a drive to win the hearts and minds of Tibetans.
Tibet's current spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, whom Beijing brands a dangerous separatist, had announced his own choice of a six-year-old boy, but he was taken away by authorities and has since vanished from public view.
The Kalachakra ritual is an esoteric but for Buddhists very important rite for activating dormant enlightenment, and has not been carried out in what China calls the Tibet Autonomous Region for half a century.
The Dalai Lama, who fled his homeland after an abortive uprising against Chinese rule in 1959 and lives in exile in India, has carried out the rite overseas.
Activists say China has violently tried to stamp out religious freedom and culture in Tibet, which remains under heavy security. China rejects the criticism, saying its rule has ended serfdom and brought development to a backward region.
The official Xinhua news agency said China's Panchen Lama had begun the ritual at the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in Shigatse, the Panchen Lama's traditional seat.
Monks from the monastery would join those from Labrang, another important seat of Tibetan Buddhist in Gansu province, for the four-day event, the report said.
About 50,000 Buddhists were expected to attend, it said.
The London-based group Free Tibet said the ritual would be the biggest religious platform Beijing has given its Panchen Lama to date.
"The officially atheist Chinese government has long tried to impose its authority on Tibet by co-opting Tibetan Buddhism," said Free Tibet director Eleanor Byrne-Rosengren.
Chinese troops marched into Tibet in 1950. After the Dalai Lama fled, the 10th Panchen Lama stayed on and was initially seen as a collaborator. It later emerged that his criticism of Beijing had earned him more than a decade spent either in prison or under house arrest.

Little Rock, AR - Four LRCA Warriors are set to sign with NCAA Division 1 colleges. The athletic signing ceremony is at 9:40 a.m., Wednesday, November 14, in Warrior Hall on the Little Rock Christian Academy campus at 19010 Cantrell Road.
"Athleticism is a gift – a talent shaped by hard work, an opportunity to honor God and a responsibility to use well for the joy of others. We rejoice with our athletes when they can extend their gift into the college years," says LRCA Head of School Dr. Gary Arnold.
Founded in 1977, Little Rock Christian Academy is a 5A, independent, co-educational, college-preparatory Christian school serving three year-olds through 12th grade and is committed to "excellence in the pursuit of truth from a Christ-centered worldview". The goal of the school is to graduate students who reflect Christ in word and action to individuals and the larger community around them. LRCA students were offered over 11 million dollars in college scholarships in 2018. Over the years the school has generated 60 National Merit students. In addition to an excellent academic education, LRCA offers extensive fine arts and athletic programs, and is a Department of Education National Blue Ribbon School.

Reordering the Differences
Do Neurotypicals Have Intact Moral Agency?
Geralt/Pixabay
Do autistics have intact moral agency? A claim forwarded in Deborah Barnbaum's book The Ethics of Autism (and echoed by several other philosophers and psychologists) is that we don't. On this analysis, neurotypicals are presumed to have intact moral agency. By contrast, it is argued that autistics are comparatively less capable of ethical comportment and decision making, and thus that we aren't full moral agents.
While there's a few variations of this argument, the basic reasoning typically goes something like this:
1) autistic individuals have an empathy deficit
2) empathy is a necessary component of moral agency
3) therefore, autistic individuals have deficient moral agency
To give a bit more detail, the first premise is based on the notion that autism can be defined via a deficit in what is variously called Theory of Mind or cognitive empathy. This regards the cognitive module taken to be necessary for processing the social world, including for understanding the minds of others. On a medical deficit model autism has often been associated with a broken empathising module, meaning that autistics individuals struggle to understand other minds.
In turn, the second premise is based on a long tradition in moral philosophy (dating back to David Hume in the 18th Century) which holds that our capacity for being moral agents is based in significant part on our ability to empathise or sympathise with others. For, it is argued, we need to understand others to know what is good for them, and in turn act on this.
If we accept both of these premises, then its easy to see why philosophers often think that autistics won't have fully intact moral agency – to some extent at least, and depending on the level of impairment. According to Barnbaum, who forwards the most extreme version of this argument, autistic individuals wholly lack moral capacity, to the point where we are excluded from the moral community of humanity. And even on far less extreme analyses such the that offered by Nathan Stout, it is still claimed that autistic individuals struggle with the "fine-grained features of moral judgment" at least. Trawl the philosophical literature on autism and its easy to find many variations of this argument.
But things aren't this simple. One huge problem with this is that the evidence for the empathy deficit hypothesis is both shaky and rooted in ableist assumptions. Hence any reasoning based on this hypothesis will also rely on the same flaws. In turn, a more interesting problem regards how this argument overlooks the way in which problems in social understanding are actually a two way street between autistics and neurotypicals. This has been explored, most notably, by autistic sociologist Damian Milton, who refers to this as the "double empathy problem" – thereby stressing that is isn't simply a matter of autistic deficit but rather a relational dysfunction that arises when the divide is crossed.
Building on this, in a 2019 article I hypothesised that its not just that neurotypicals struggle to empathise with autistics; its also the case that many autistics often can fluently empathise with other autistics. This has since been supported by various studies that have precisely found that autistic people do seem to have be better at socialising with other autistics than neurotypicals are with autistics (see, e.g. here or here). Once we take this into account, I think there's room for reversing the traditional analysis – up to a point.
My hunch is that, there's good reason to think that if autistics do have some kind of limitation as moral agents, then it's also likely the case that neurotypicals have the same kind of limitation. Yet vitally, each will mainly be present for the other, rather than it being the case that these are somehow fixed deficits that apply irrespective of context. In other words, in so far as there's a double empathy problem, and in so far as moral agency does require the ability to empathise, its likely that there's also a double moral agency problem between autistics and neurotypicals.
If anything, there's stronger reason to think that neurotypicals have limited ability for moral agency when it comes to how to treat autistics than the other way around. The reason for this is that we live in a world structured by ableism and disableism, with neurotypicals occupying a comparatively privileged and enabled position in contrast to comparatively disabled and devalued autistics. Because of this, most neurotypicals don't have to think about autistic needs: doing so is not part of the social role of the neurotypical. And since autistic needs are routinely overlooked in society more generally, its likely that neurotypical individuals will have limited epistemic access to the needs of autistic individuals. But this kind of additional epistemic limitation will arise for socio-political more than biologically-based reasons.
In support of this, there's plenty of evidence that autistics are not given due moral recognition in a predominantly neurotypical world. For instance, autistics are routinely discriminated against and abused. Terrifyingly, when neurotypical parents kill their autistic children, they often encounter sympathy for doing so once it becomes know that their child was autistic. This has become so systemic that the Autistic Self Advocacy Network has for some years helped organise an annual vigil for disabled children murdered by their parents. Indeed, when Barnbaum wrote her book on the ethics of autism, and argued that all autistic foetuses should be terminated, the book won awards from neurotypical organsiations instead of being condemned. While all this is linked by the ableist power structures, part of the explanation for each individual case may regard the limited ability of neurotypicals to empathise with autistics, thus diminishing the moral agency of the former when it comes to dealings with the latter.
Overall, its far from clear that autistics do lack moral empathy in the way philosophers routinely claim. But there is some reason to think that autistics and neurotypicals may have limited moral agency when to comes to recognising the moral dignity and worth of the other – and in this specific regard, there's reason to think that neurotypicals are more deeply disabled than autistics.

Mad Autistics
FotoEmotions/Pixabay
I regularly come across individuals with intersecting neurodivergent disabilities. For instance, its very common to find autistics who are learning disabled, dyslexics with ADHD, and so forth. But one intersection I very rarely see are mad autistics, but which I mean individuals who identify as both autistic and mad.
This seemingly elusive intersection is particularly important to consider given the common goals of the neurodivesity movement (which has mainly focused on autism and other developmental disabilities), and the mad pride movement (which often focuses around classifications such as schizophrenia and bi-polar). Notably, the neurodiversity movement and mad pride movement are very similar in their fundamental aims, philosophies, and arguments. Yet, in practice, there has been less dialogue than we might expect given how closely aligned the movements are in theory (although see, e.g. here).
Some hypothesise that madness and autism as at opposite ends of a cognitive spectrum (see e.g. here) making the division natural. But I suspect the real reason we don't often see them both in one person is to do with stereotypes. Autism is often framed as being a kind of robotic hyper rationality and absence of emotion, while madness is often stereotyped as being overly emotional and irrational.
Regardless of how misleading these stereotypes may be, it is vital to recognise that such biases will delineate how all of us think about both others and ourselves. My own suspicion is that these stereotype framings stop people from simultaneously embracing both identities to some extent, forcing a kind of epistemological stifling on us that hinders our recognition of the prevalence of this intersection even as we live it.
This is a form of what feminist philosopher Miranda Fricker calls "hermeneutical injustice". That is, instances where our shared vocabularies (and the stereotypes that comes with them) are structured a way that distorts the self understanding of minorities in a manner that is harmful or limiting. Consider, for instance, when being gay was wrongly construed as a mental illness rather than a sexual orientation. This would have been a form of hermeneutical injustice in so far as it negatively distorted the self understanding of gay people, often stifling the very existential possibility of embracing being gay as a legitimate way of being.
By the same token, though, I also wonder if each of the two identities could help break down harmful stereotypes of the other. That is, if autistics begin to explore their disposition to aspects of madness, this could help challenge the robot stereotype, while mad folk embracing their autistic traits might be similarly helpful for challenging narratives about madness that undermine the legitimacy of mad rationalities.
Doing this may not only be individually liberating, but could also help foster solidarity across two political movements that should sit naturally side by side.

We present new results on the shock around the southwest radio lobe of Centaurus A using data from the Chandra Very Large Programme observations (740 ks total observing time). The X-ray spectrum of the emission around the outer southwestern edge of the lobe is well described by a single power-law model with Galactic absorption ‐ thermal models are strongly disfavoured, except in the region closest to the nucleus. We conclude that a significant fraction of the X-ray emission around the southwest…

Among essentially the most popular electrical wiring inquiries is regarding how to wire a change. Whilst making use of switches at your house is quite straightforward, wiring just one may not be that uncomplicated for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. You will find several types of switches, but for this instance, let's say you are putting in a single-pole toggle switch, a really prevalent switch (and the most basic).
You can find 3 shades of wires in a very common single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and green. Splice the black wire in two and connect them within the terminal screws - a person on leading and the other over the base screw in the change. The white wire serves as a resource of uninterrupted energy and is also typically linked to the mild colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Link the green wire for the ground screw within your switch.
These actions would frequently be adequate to produce a typical swap work and not using a issue. Nevertheless, in the event you are usually not assured that you just can accomplish the job correctly and safely you better permit the professionals get it done instead. Immediately after all, there is certainly a motive why this endeavor has become the most typical electrical wiring questions asked by a lot of people.
For a few reason, how to wire a ceiling fan can also be one of the most widespread electrical wiring thoughts. To simplify this endeavor, you need to use only one swap for a single ceiling fan. To wire the lover, it is really just a matter of connecting the black wire from the ceiling fan towards the black wire of your change. If there is a light-weight, the blue wire should be linked for the black wire of your swap also.
You'll find good reasons why they are the most usually asked electrical wiring issues. A person, many assume it can be straightforward to do, and two, these are the typical electrical responsibilities in your own home. But you then should not put your safety in danger in your purpose to economize. The stakes could even be considerably increased if you try and cut costs and do an electrical wiring job without having sufficient expertise or working experience.

	As they followed a path down the blue-grass hillside, the first house that met the view of the travelers was joyously recognized by the Scarecrow Bear as the one inhabited by his friend Jinjur, so they increased their speed and hurried toward it.

	On reaching the place, however, they found the house deserted. The front door stood open, but no one was inside. In the garden surrounding the house were neat rows of bushes bearing cream-puffs and macaroons, some of which were still green, but others ripe and ready to eat. Farther back were fields of caramels, and all the land seemed well cultivated and carefully tended. They looked through the fields for the girl farmer, but she was nowhere to be seen.

	“Well,” finally remarked the little Brown Bear, “let us go into the house and make ourselves at home. That will be sure to please my friend Jinjur, who happens to be away from home just now. When she returns, she will be greatly surprised.”

	“Would she care if I ate some of those ripe cream-puffs?” asked the Green Monkey.

	“No, indeed; Jinjur is very generous. Help yourself to all you want,” said the Scarecrow Bear.

	So Woot gathered a lot of the cream-puffs that were golden yellow and filled with a sweet, creamy substance, and ate until his hunger was satisfied. Then he entered the house with his friends and sat in a rocking-chair—just as he was accustomed to do when a boy. The Canary perched herself upon the mantel and daintily plumed her feathers; the Tin Owl sat on the back of another chair; the Scarecrow squatted on his hairy haunches in the middle of the room.

	“I believe I remember the girl Jinjur,” remarked the Canary, in her sweet voice. “She cannot help us very much, except to direct us on our way to Glinda’s castle, for she does not understand magic. But she’s a good girl, honest and sensible, and I’ll be glad to see her.”

	“All our troubles,” said the Owl with a deep sigh, “arose from my foolish resolve to seek Nimmie Amee and make her Empress of the Winkies, and while I wish to reproach no one, I must say that it was Woot the Wanderer who put the notion into my head.”

	“Well, for my part, I am glad he did,” responded the Canary. “Your journey resulted in saving me from the Giantess, and had you not traveled to the Yoop Valley, I would still be Mrs. Yoop’s prisoner. It is much nicer to be free, even though I still bear the enchanted form of a Canary-Bird.”

	“Do you think we shall ever be able to get our proper forms back again?” asked the Green Monkey earnestly.

	Polychrome did not make reply at once to this important question, but after a period of thoughtfulness she said:

	“I have been taught to believe that there is an antidote for every magic charm, yet Mrs. Yoop insists that no power can alter her transformations. I realize that my own fairy magic cannot do it, although I have thought that we Sky Fairies have more power than is accorded to Earth Fairies. The Yookoohoo magic is admitted to be very strange in its workings and different from the magic usually practiced, but perhaps Glinda or Ozma may understand it better than I. In them lies our only hope. Unless they can help us, we must remain forever as we are.”

	“A Canary-Bird on a Rainbow wouldn’t be so bad,” asserted the Tin Owl, winking and blinking with his round tin eyes, “so if you can manage to find your Rainbow again you need have little to worry about.”

	“That’s nonsense, Friend Chopper,” exclaimed Woot. “I know just how Polychrome feels. A beautiful girl is much superior to a little yellow bird, and a boy—such as I was—far better than a Green Monkey. Neither of us can be happy again unless we recover our rightful forms.”

	“I feel the same way,” announced the stuffed Bear. “What do you suppose my friend the Patchwork Girl would think of me, if she saw me wearing this beastly shape?”

	“She’d laugh till she cried,” admitted the Tin Owl. “For my part, I’ll have to give up the notion of marrying Nimmie Amee, but I’ll try not to let that make me unhappy. If it’s my duty, I’d like to do my duty, but if magic prevents my getting married I’ll flutter along all by myself and be just as contented.”

	Their serious misfortunes made them all silent for a time, and as their thoughts were busy in dwelling upon the evils with which fate had burdened them, none noticed that Jinjur had suddenly appeared in the doorway and was looking at them in astonishment. The next moment her astonishment changed to anger, for there, in her best rocking-chair, sat a Green Monkey. A great shiny Owl perched upon another chair and a Brown Bear squatted upon her parlor rug. Jinjur did not notice the Canary, but she caught up a broomstick and dashed into the room, shouting as she came:

	“Get out of here, you wild creatures! How dare you enter my house?”

	With a blow of her broom she knocked the Brown Bear over, and the Tin Owl tried to fly out of her reach and made a great clatter with his tin wings. The Green Monkey was so startled by the sudden attack that he sprang into the fireplace—where there was fortunately no fire—and tried to escape by climbing up the chimney. But he found the opening too small, and so was forced to drop down again. Then he crouched trembling in the fireplace, his pretty green hair all blackened with soot and covered with ashes. From this position Woot watched to see what would happen next.

	“Stop, Jinjur—stop!” cried the Brown Bear, when the broom again threatened him. “Don’t you know me? I’m your old friend the Scarecrow!”

	“You’re trying to deceive me, you naughty beast! I can see plainly that you are a bear, and a mighty poor specimen of a bear, too,” retorted the girl.

	“That’s because I’m not properly stuffed,” he assured her. “When Mrs. Yoop transformed me, she didn’t realize I should have more stuffing.”

	“Who is Mrs. Yoop?” inquired Jinjur, pausing with the broom still upraised.

	“A Giantess in the Gillikin Country.”

	“Oh; I begin to understand. And Mrs. Yoop transformed you? You are really the famous Scarecrow of Oz?”

	“I was, Jinjur. Just now I’m as you see me—a miserable little Brown Bear with a poor quality of stuffing. That Tin Owl is none other than our dear Tin Woodman—Nick Chopper, the Emperor of the Winkies—while this Green Monkey is a nice little boy we recently became acquainted with, Woot the Wanderer.”

	“And I,” said the Canary, flying close to Jinjur, “am Polychrome, the Daughter of the Rainbow, in the form of a bird.”

	“Goodness me!” cried Jinjur, amazed; “that Giantess must be a powerful Sorceress, and as wicked as she is powerful.”

	“She’s a Yookoohoo,” said Polychrome. “Fortunately, we managed to escape from her castle, and we are now on our way to Glinda the Good to see if she possesses the power to restore us to our former shapes.”

	“Then I must beg your pardons; all of you must forgive me,” said Jinjur, putting away the broom. “I took you to be a lot of wild, unmannerly animals, as was quite natural. You are very welcome to my home and I’m sorry I haven’t the power to help you out of your troubles. Please use my house and all that I have, as if it were your own.”

	At this declaration of peace, the Bear got upon his feet and the Owl resumed his perch upon the chair and the Monkey crept out of the fireplace. Jinjur looked at Woot critically, and scowled.

	“For a Green Monkey,” said she, “you’re the blackest creature I ever saw. And you’ll get my nice clean room all dirty with soot and ashes. Whatever possessed you to jump up the chimney?”

	“I—I was scared,” explained Woot, somewhat ashamed.

	“Well, you need renovating, and that’s what will happen to you, right away. Come with me!” she commanded.

	“What are you going to do?” asked Woot.

	“Give you a good scrubbing,” said Jinjur.

	Now, neither boys nor monkeys relish being scrubbed, so Woot shrank away from the energetic girl, trembling fearfully. But Jinjur grabbed him by his paw and dragged him out to the back yard, where, in spite of his whines and struggles, she plunged him into a tub of cold water and began to scrub him with a stiff brush and a cake of yellow soap.

	This was the hardest trial that Woot had endured since he became a monkey, but no protest had any influence with Jinjur, who lathered and scrubbed him in a business-like manner and afterward dried him with a coarse towel.

	The Bear and the Owl gravely watched this operation and nodded approval when Woot’s silky green fur shone clear and bright in the afternoon sun. The Canary seemed much amused and laughed a silvery ripple of laughter as she said:

	“Very well done, my good Jinjur; I admire your energy and judgment. But I had no idea a monkey could look so comical as this monkey did while he was being bathed.”

	“I’m not a monkey!” declared Woot, resentfully; “I’m just a boy in a monkey’s shape, that’s all.”

	“If you can explain to me the difference,” said Jinjur, “I’ll agree not to wash you again—that is, unless you foolishly get into the fireplace. All persons are usually judged by the shapes in which they appear to the eyes of others. Look at me, Woot; what am I?”

	Woot looked at her.

	“You’re as pretty a girl as I’ve ever seen,” he replied.

	Jinjur frowned. That is, she tried hard to frown.

	“Come out into the garden with me,” she said, “and I’ll give you some of the most delicious caramels you ever ate. They’re a new variety, that no one can grow but me, and they have a heliotrope flavor.”

If I Wasn't Wearing A Helmet, Can I Still Be Compensated?
Most states – including California – have laws which dictate that anyone who is riding a motorcycle or bike must wear a helmet while doing so. These laws are intended to reduce the chances of sustaining serious or fatal injuries during a motorcycle accident or bicycle accident, as these accidents can often cause the ridAfter being injured in an accident that was not their fault, though, many motorcyclists and bicyclists who were not wearing a helmet at the time are left to wonder if they will still be able to recover money for their injuries. er's head to forcefully impact the road or another vehicle.
In many cases, the answer isn't entirely black and white.
In order to receive compensation for injuries sustained in a bike or motorcycle accident, you must prove to the court that the injuries you incurred were not your fault. In most cases, this boils down to proving that the accident which caused your injuries was not your fault. However, if you were not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, the court may find that even though the accident was not your fault, your injuries still could have been prevented had you followed the law. If the court finds that you failed to take reasonable precautions to prevent your injuries by not wearing a helmet, you may receive a smaller compensation for your injuries or no compensation at all.
There are a couple factors to consider when determining how the court will weigh the fact you weren't wearing a helmet, though, and the most important of these factors is the type of injuries you sustained. If your injuries were to your body or limbs, the court will likely conclude that you not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident had no bearing on the injuries you sustained and that wearing a helmet would not have prevented them. In this case, you are more likely to receive full compensation for your injuries.
However, if the injuries you sustained were to your head or neck, the court is much more likely to see you not wearing a helmet as an act of negligence that could have prevented your injuries. In these instances, it is more difficult to obtain compensation for your injuries.
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident or bicycle accident and did not have a helmet on at the time, it is important that you contact a personal injury attorney in LA as soon as possible to begin constructing your case. An experienced Los Angeles personal injury attorney will be able to help you navigate the complexities of personal injury claims involving a rider not wearing a helmet in order to help you get as much compensation for your injuries as possible.

Cozy Chicks: EXCUSE ME, THERE'S A LLAMA SITTING IN MY SEAT!
EXCUSE ME, THERE'S A LLAMA SITTING IN MY SEAT!
Yes, it's true. Someone actually brought a llama on board an airplane as a "emotional support" animal. Everyone knows I'm a big-time animal lover, (and I bet you are, too) but is this taking things a little too far?
And even though it's less common, cats can be effective emotional support animals...here's a cat who has her own photo ID.
But the situation on airplanes has gotten a little bizarre. Recently a pot-bellied pig boarded a 6 hour flight to the coast with his owner and made life miserable for the flight attendants and fellow passengers.
This was a large, fully grown beast who ran down the aisles, nearly upsetting the drinks cart, snuffling and snorting as he stopped to stick his head into open purses and stealing food off trays. The passengers were not amused!
It seems like a cute idea, but the only place for him was the "bulkhead" seats, and he took up the entire row of three seats. There was also a safety issue. What if there were an emergency? Can you imagine him going down the slide? Would passengers be tripping over him in the aisle in their haste to escape?
What do you think? Should emotional support animals be allowed to fly with their owners? Should the airlines limit their size (perhaps, one animal, no more than 20 pounds?) I'd love to know what you think!
