It's funny isn't it – two and a half weeks ago I posted a blog entry about the importance of making the time to write, and since then I haven't posted a thing!
Don't worry though – the reason for my absence isn't because I immediately showed how I don't follow my own advice – it's because I'm currently working on a third book, and have spent the last few weeks hammering out an 11,000 word chapter-by-chapter synopsis of the whole story, just to get everything clear in my head. At this stage I don't want to go into too much detail about what this new story is about, but I will say it's my first foray into the world of detective fiction, set in a sci-fi environment. The plot has several twists and turns, however the main story doesn't stray too far away from the formula everyone knows and loves: A murder is committed in seemingly impossible circumstances, and the main character is tasked with getting to the bottom of it.
The first thing to say about Note to Self is that I'm really scared about its release. You see, with Time Rep it was easy – the book had already been available on the internet for free for a couple of years before being published, so I had already seen a decent amount of feedback on it, and therefore knew roughly what to expect. Note to Self however has only been read by a handful of people at the time of writing, so there's a lot more uncertainty in my mind as to how it will be received. The other thing to say is that as a novel, it is very different to Time Rep. Time Rep was a comedy; a light-hearted caper, and while Note to Self moves at a similar pace (in fact, it probably has more action in it), it's certainly more serious in tone. The style of writing is also quite different, and I guess that's down to my age. I started writing Time Rep when I was 21 and finished it when I was 27. Note to Self on the other hand was started when I was 27, and only finished this year. I'm now 32, so you can imagine how you change as a writer over eleven years – for a start, I've learnt to never use the word 'moreover'.
But what is Note to Self about? Well, if you haven't read the blurb, I suggest you go and do that now, then come back. Don't worry – I'll wait here for you.
That's it. I think the mystery in Note to Self is a bit more complicated that the one in Time Rep. And before you ask, no – the ultimate explanation has nothing to do with time travel, nor is he mad, nor is he dreaming. Yet the notes do indeed change before his very eyes, and are even able to read his thoughts. How is that possible, you ask? Well you'll just have to read the book to find out!
At time of writing, Note to Self is scheduled to be released on the 13th September.

"Type and scope of trust relationships in collaborative interactions in" by Weiliang Zhao, Vijay Varadharajan et al.
Zhao, W., Varadharajan, V.& Bryan, G.(2005).Type and scope of trust relationships in collaborative interactions in distributed environments.7th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (pp.331-336).Portugal: INSTICC.
In this paper, we consider the modelling of trust relationships in distributed systems based on a formal mathematical structure. We discuss different forms of trust. In particular, we address the base level authentication trust at the lower layer with a hierarchy of trust relationships at a higher level. Then we define and discuss trust direction and symmetric characteristics of trust for collaborative interactions in distributed environments. We define the trust scope label in order to describe the scope and diversity of trust relationship under our taxonomy framework. We illustrate the proposed definitions and properties of the trust relationships using example scenarios. The discussed trust types and properties will form part of an overall trust taxonomy framework and they can be used in the overall methodology of life cycle of trust relationships in distributed information systems that is currently in the process of development.


At Airdrie Sheriff court after a trial lasting longer than Nurnberg, Markus Meechan (Aka Count Dankula) was finally convicted of the crime of hate speech and breaching the electronic communications act. For what amounts to an online joke.
I won't go over the details, most of you will be familiar with the case. But anyone who knows Meechan knows that he's NOT a Nazi. In fact his political history was diametrically the opposite. But even if he was, I would still defend his right to say unsavoury things. Even when most supposedly " right thinking" people would find them deeply offensive. If you do not defend the right to free speech of those who's views you find repugnant ( I'm on record defending Anjem Choudary, a man I despise) then you don't believe in free speech at all.
Accordingly. The Scottish Libertarian Party condemn the arrest, trial and conviction of Markus Meechan by a kangaroo court and defend his inalienable right to free speech and free expression.
A protest will be held on 23rd April. Please lend your voice and support while you still can in our increasingly illiberal country.

Washroom repairs are something that are never planned. Plumbing requirement arrives instantly and one needs to get the repairing done as soon as possible in order to prevent further leakage or major issues. People do plan for getting washroom upgrades or renovations but then these things get time to plan and take an appointment w9ith the plumbers. But when it comes to some sudden overflowing of the toilets, bursting of some water pipes or broken water geysers or heaters then a person needs to call for instant repairs and that involves in a hassle.
Plumbing requires a lot of technical knowledge and skills along with the right equipment and parts to fix the damage. Not everyone can do it with ease. In case the plumber is not a professional worker then things might go wrong and result in to bigger disasters. Also one cannot leave the repairing that are required as that would create obstacles in using the washroom and it may also result in water damage and wastage due to continuous leakage.
The emergency plumber in Toronto vows to work on emergency calls with ease and dedication. They are the best plumbing service providers and are renowned for their instant services. They have been certified as the one hour response providers and provide insured billings. They serve the entire place of Toronto and reach their client within an hour of call providing them with the best and instant service as required.
One can check the online web site and also contact them online. They even provide plumbing quotes depending upon the nature and amount of repairing or other installations that are required on the client's side. Hence, in case of any emergency one must call up the emergency plumber in Toronto to avail the best service that vows for efficiency and spontaneous service.

Hesiod and Hávamál: Transitions and the Transmission of Wisdom
Lilah Canevaro
School of History, Classics and Archaeology
This paper offers fresh insights into Hesiod's Works and Days by comparing it to the Eddic Hávamál, a didactic poem far removed in terms of geography and date, but compellingly close in subject matter, construction and transmission. This paper finds parallels between the poems in the methods of teaching and in what is being taught, focusing on the shared theme of self-sufficiency (both intellectual and practical). It finds parallels in structure, as Hávamál is, like the Works and Days, made up not only of precepts and maxims but also elaborate mythological sections, and is associated with catalogic elements which may be original or later accretions, just like Hesiod's Days, or the Catalogue of Women, or the Ornithomanteia. This paper also traces parallel scholarly trajectories, summarising the strikingly similar histories of scholarship on the two poems.
Finally, this paper finds parallels in the transmission of the poems, as both are rooted in the oral tradition but poised at that crucial juncture: the advent of writing. Despite the striking similarities between the poems, this paper refrains from any suggestion of a straight channel of reception but rather interprets the parallels as a reflection of comparable societies, or at least societies at comparable points in their developments. Archaic Greece and Viking Scandinavia might not be exactly parallel cultures, but they evidently share certain cultural concerns: as agrarian societies with strong family and household structures, polytheistic religions and honour codes, they offer similar advice in similar formulations through similar didactic strategies. Such similarities may encourage us to think in terms of the shared characteristics of transitional products. If we exclude direct reception we are left with a cultural constant: the transmission of wisdom. And with recurring elements such as gnomic language, myth and catalogue, we are also left with constant expressions of that wisdom.

Sri Lanka: Mega corruption stealing resources from the poor
By Sri Lanka Guardian • October 24, 2021 • Amjed Javeed Columns • Comments : 0
The nature and magnitude of corruption that has almost completely taken over the body politic of the country today has a direct impact on the lives of the poor and marginalised. The mega corruption that goes unchecked finally diverts badly needed resources from the underprivileged sectors of society as well as adds to the cost of living.
by Amjed Javeed
The revelations by the International Consortium of Investigative journalists in what is now known as the Pandora Papers have once again caused the spotlight to fall on corruption in Sri Lanka.
The Thalagodapitiya Commission appointed by the S. W. R.D Bandaranaike Government in 1959 found several of its own parliamentarians guilty of Bribery. Compared to the degree of corruption that has now eaten into the governance structure, particularly after the ushering in of the open economy in 1977, the allegations before the Thalagodapitiya Commission could be described as 'peanuts'.
One of the MPs arraigned before that Commission was accused of accepting a bribe of Rupees 300 and a bag of rice.
Today the amounts talked about as inducements for crossing over from one party to another are staggering. Prior to the 2015 Presidential Elections one Parliamentarian claimed that he had been offered Rupees 800 million to cross over to the opposite side. In November 2018 another Parliamentarian claimed that he had been offered 2.8 million dollars to cross over.
While all these allegations of bribery relate to individuals and are reflective of the integrity of those engaged in politics, what is more alarming is the way in which the spread of the tentacles of corruption has impacted on governance structures in the country to the detriment of the peoples welfare.
Professor Laksiri Fernando in one of his writings sums it up well. According to him corruption derails development, degenerates and distorts the democratic system and decays the moral fabric of society. The ultimate victims are the poor, the needy and the ordinary people.
A random examination of some of the better known corruption sagas will shed light on what impact it has had on the economy.
Ronnie de Mel who served as Finance Minister during the J. R. Jayewardene regime once stated that one third of the aid that was received for the Accelerated Mahaweli Diversion Project went into private pockets.
During the Yahapalana regime the Central Bank Bond Scam was another instance of corruption. The tenure of the current regime has witnessed the Sugar scam, the Garlic Scam and the Data Scam related to the National Medical Regulatory Authority to name a few.
A couple of weeks ago former President Maitripala Sirisena drew attention to how a cheque had been released in haste on January 7, 2015 (a non working day in view of the Presidential Elections the following day) for the Nilwala Ganga Diversion Project. He raised the question as to where the money transferred by this payment had gone given that not even a sod of earth had been cut in furtherance of the Project up to date.
The question arises why no action had been taken with regard to this matter given that President Sirisena himself had raised this matter during his Presidency.
According to a Report of the Auditor General the Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources Management had paid a Mobilisation Advance of Rs.4,011,045,982 to the foreign contractor company for the Gin Nilwala Diversion Project comprising Rs.998,576,311 and Rs.3,012,478,471 in the years 2014 and 2015 respectively.
One of the factors that is inhibiting the fight against the spread of large scale corruption is the weakness of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery and Corruption (CIABOC ) as well as other Governmental machinery that is supposed to monitor corruption.
One of the factors that contribute and facilitate corruption is the failure to follow due process prior to disbursement of funds. Under the 19th Amendment a Procurement Commission was set up but never quite got going. Unsolicited proposals have also been identified as a potential source of corruption but such proposals are still entertained by the Government.
The Declaration of Assets Law was enacted in the 1970s as a means of monitoring the illegal accumulation of assets by politically exposed persons but has hardly served its purpose.
The lack of strong public opinion is another factor that prevents the control of what has come to be a disease of epidemic proportions that has hamstrung the country's development. Today one notes that those with the biggest allegations of corruption are the ones who shout loudest about corruption and receive public acceptance and public acclaim.
Until and unless there is strong public disapproval of the malaise of corruption the country may well have to live with the exponential increase in the plunder of public resources.
Corruption is today used as a battering ram to criticize political opponents but there is little or no follow up action to make actual miscreants accountable.
The revelations in the Pandora papers may only be the tip of the iceberg with regard to the resources that have been siphoned away from the country. It is undoubtedly sad that while the country is literally gasping for economic breadth, there are vast resources stacked away in safe havens.
It is a great tragedy that what has been earned for the country through the sweat and toil of our workers in the plantations, in the garment factories and in West Asia are lost to our people through such illegal activities.
It is a pity that the Sri Lankan State has not taken sufficient steps to correct the situation. If a Government takes corrective action there will be more schools, more hospitals, more development and lessening of the burden of the cost of living for the people.

STUDENTS at Ripon Grammar School achieve school's best ever set of A-Level results
STUDENTS at Ripon Grammar School, consistently North Yorkshire's top performing state school, have achieved its best ever set of A-Level results.
Just short of 80 per cent – currently 79.5 per cent – of results were A*-B grades with over half at A* and A.
Among the top performers were three sets of twins and at least seven girls with places at Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
Boarding twins George and Harry Stratford – Ripon Grammar School is one of only a handful of state boarding schools – both achieved three A grades and will head to Durham University together to read finance, although at different colleges.
Louisa Chatterton is going to Cambridge University to read education with an A* and two As, while her sister Katharine will study philosophy and religion at Birmingham University.
Molly Gallagher is heading to York to read law after achieving an A*, A and C, while brother Lorcan went one better to gain A*, A and B grades.
Anna Rimmer, who achieved four A*s and a A* in the extended project qualification (EPQ), will join Louisa at Cambridge, to study economics.
The Oxford-bound girls are Maya Mellor who will read medicine with four A*s; Ella Durkin, with three A*s, to read chemistry; Alicia Hayden, two A*s and an A to study biological sciences; Katherine Dale, one A* and three As to read earth sciences; and Alice Peat, whose two A*s and an A secured her place to study French and Italian.
A large majority of students guaranteed their first choice at university with 37 students, or just over a quarter of the cohort, achieving straight A* or A grades. Every student who took an additional EPQ secured an A* or A grade for their independent research skills.
At the end of his first year in post, headmaster Jonathan Webb said: "I am delighted with these results and, more importantly, delighted to see so many smiles this morning as students found out that they had been accepted on courses at their chosen institutions.
"Behind the statistics there is always such a range of individual success stories. The students have worked supremely hard and deserve every congratulation."

Education and the Global Battle Against Extremism
Education is the most powerful tool for building a fairer, more humane and inclusive world.
By Andreas Schleicher
Andreas Schleicher
Andreas Schleicher is Director for Education and Skills at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Paris.
educationmigrationterrorism
Whoever has a hammer sees every problem as a nail. Those in the security business tend to see the answer to radicalism and terrorism in military might, and those in the financial business, in cutting flows of money.
So it is only natural for educators to view the struggle against radicalism and terrorism as a battle for hearts and minds. But the recent terrorist attacks in Europe have brought home that it is far too simplistic to depict extremists and terrorists as victims of poverty or poor qualifications.
More research on the background and biographies of extremists and terrorists is badly needed, but it is clear that these people often do not come from the most impoverished parts of societies.
Radicals are also found among young people from middle-class families who have ticked all the boxes when it comes to formal education.
And ironically, those terrorists seem to be well equipped with the entrepreneurial, creative, global and collaborative social skills that we often promote as the goal of modern education.
But that's no reason to give up on education as the most powerful tool for building a fairer, more humane and inclusive world. We know that individual trajectories towards extremism flourish in environments that lack social inclusion, well-being and social cohesion.
Young people become receptive to extremist ideas when their self-image, self-confidence and interpersonal trust are threatened by fragmented identities and conflicting world-views.
There is also a clear linkage between countries' relative success in integrating and educating migrant children and the prevalence of extremism.
Our recent publication, Immigrant Students at School, suggests that, certainly in that area, public policy can make a major difference.
It highlights how some countries do so much better than others not just in equipping disadvantaged and migrant children with strong academic skills, but also in fostering social integration among these groups.
Look at Norwegian students, for instance, where nine out of ten 15-year-old students with an immigrant background say they feel they belong at school, whereas fewer than four out of ten French migrant students say so.
The well-being of immigrant students is affected not just by cultural differences between the country of origin and the host country, but also by how schools and communities help immigrant students deal with the daily problems of living, learning and communicating.
But is that enough to fight radicalism and terrorism? Again, having good academic and social skills doesn't seem to prevent people from using those skills to destroy, rather than advance, their societies.
It comes down to the heart of education: teaching the values that can give students a reliable compass and the tools to navigate with confidence through an increasingly complex, volatile and uncertain world.
Respecting diversity
Of course, that is difficult territory. To make one's way through it, one has to strike a balance between strengthening common values in societies, such as respect and tolerance, that cannot be compromised, and appreciating the diversity of our societies and the plurality of values that diversity engenders.
Leaning too far in either direction is risky: Enforcing an artificial uniformity of values is detrimental to people's capacity to acknowledge different perspectives, and over emphasizing diversity can lead to cultural relativism that questions the legitimacy of any core values.
Several ministers and commentators I have spoken with commend PISA for its efforts to build metrics to measure "global competency," a set of skills that enables people to see the world through different eyes and appreciate different ideas, perspectives and values.
Indeed, one of the most powerful responses to extremism and radicalization seems the ability to read and understand diversity, while recognizing that the core liberal values of our societies, such as tolerance, are the foundations on which this capacity rests.
But there is more to this. Since the end of the Second World War, liberal democracies have engaged confidently in the global battlefield of ideas. But in the 21st century, it seems that ideological hegemony will result from genuine and open dialogue for the common good.
Liberal and democratic ideas and values will have to prove their worth against competing worldviews.
This is where education comes in as well. Universities and international schools – and the online learning programs – are perfect venues in which these ideas and values can be shared and debated.
It is therefore important to support and strengthen international education in its role as a global exchange of ideas.
The 5 million international students who cross borders – and oceans – to get the best possible education are also champions of intercultural dialogue and global understanding.
There could even be many more of them if we invest in education sufficiently to be able to offer attractive opportunities for bright people in countries where the ideological battles for young people's minds are increasingly fierce and the stakes alarmingly high.

There is a linkage between countries' success in educating migrant children and prevalence of extremism.
The well-being of immigrant students depends on how schools help them to learn and communicate.

I wish your heart would have turned toward Truth. 130 lives were lost due to your assistance. Sometimes your patients died in the back of a Volkswagen van which was souped up with your lethal intravenous cocktails. You committed brutal acts against human dignity and only served seven years and two-and-a-half months in jail.
Breaking away from the traditional medical covenant of respect for life, new segments of medical professionals have reversed the end for which the science of medicine was founded, which is to heal and save lives. In their hands, the science of medicine has become instrumental for ending lives by abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide. Lamentably, these break-away physicians have become instruments of death.
We can never directly intend to kill an innocent human being. In the case of assisted suicide, this simple truth acknowledges not only that life is a gift to be received, stewarded and fostered, but also that human beings are moral agents who are to do good and avoid evil. Issues of depression and patient concerns for pain which often attend requests for assistance to die only reaffirm the truth that human beings who suffer terminal illness and/or great pain deserve our care, accompaniment and support.
Dr. Death, I wish you could have been more like my dad's fishing buddy, Dr. Wayne Thaluber, who is a member of Assumption Parish and a retired internist. He is your antithesis and embraces life. For 42 years, Dr. Thalhuber worked at Our Lady of Good Counsel (Now called Our Lady of Peace Home), which is a hospice– meaning the staff specializes in the end of life. Their motto is: A spiritual place where patients and their families spend their final time together in peace and comfort.
Your "artwork" is sold in galleries. Their grotesque scenes echo a horror film with decapitations and skulls. I heard you sometimes painted with your own blood; as in the likeness you created of a child eating the flesh of a decomposing body.
I like to think that your mother, having fled the Armenian Genocide of 1915, must have had respect for human life. How is it that such a hard-earned lesson was lost on you? Didn't she have you learn the fifth Commandment: Thou shall not kill? Did she ever teach you to respect the sick and dying by taking flowers to someone in the hospital or by mowing the lawn of an aged neighbor?

We bet you're still not using enough coupons — even with all that Kohl's Cash.
1. You don't have to spend as much as you think to earn Kohl's Cash.
Regulars know that Kohl's Cash is king. The signs say that you'll earn $10 in Kohl's Cash for every $50 you spend. But officially, it's OK if you come up a little short — you just have to get within $2 to receive the bonus. So $48 will do the trick. Just be sure to check the dates when you earn it — Kohl's Cash does expire.
2. If you're considering the credit card, $600 is the magic number.
"Kohl's is one of the few credit cards that I actually recommend getting because they offer so many exclusive savings," says Heather Schisler, founder of Passion for Savings.
"They send out card holder exclusive coupons at least once a month." That means you'll get no less than 12 special discounts. And if you spend $600, you'll get at least 18 discounts a year. Plus, you'll save 20% off your first purchase with your Kohl's card.
3. The rewards program will pay out no matter how you pay.
Even if you don't sign up for the credit card, it's worth signing up for the YES2YOU Rewards program. You'll earn one point for every dollar you spend and get a $5 reward for every 100 points. "It's like getting 5% back on purchases," says Lori Felix of More With Less Today.
But don't dawdle on using the cash after you convert it from points — it expires after 30 days (and points expire after a year).
4. You can stack a boatload of coupons.
Well, technically up to four coupons, but that's a lot! Here's the order in which they'll be applied: Department-specific dollar-off or percent-off on the qualifying items, then any dollar-off coupons (like Kohl's CashYES2YOU Rewards Cash) and then one overall percent-off discount.
Like to shop online? The same deal applies — you can use up to four coupon codes.
5. The Kohl's app can do the coupon stacking for you – before you hit the register.
Earned yourself some Kohl's Cash? Congrats! Now don't let it expire sitting on your dresser before you have a chance to use it. Schisler loves that she can scan her Kohl's Cash into the app so she always has it with her. "Another great feature is that it allows you to scan a barcode in stores and see the price of the item with all of your coupons applied before you get on line to buy it."
6. The digital price tags offer big clues on sales.
Heather Wheeler and Joanie Demer, the bloggers behind The Krazy Coupon Lady say they have figured out a secret message on those LCD price tags you'll see at Kohl's: Apparently, a square in the upper-right corner means the item has reached the lowest price of the season. "The price of this item won't drop again unless it goes on clearance," they write.
Kyle James, the founder of Rather Be Shopping, told Wink News that he likes to look for an "NM" marked in the corner of the screen. This stands for "new markdown," which you should take as a red light — the price will likely drop later that day, or the next day, so come back later.
7. They want you to use their Wi-Fi to rain even more coupons on you.
Connect your phone to Kohl's free Wi-Fi and you'll also get a free coupon to use in the store. "Last month, I shared this tip with my sister and she got $5 off her $25 purchase," says Felix.
8. It's worth giving them your email — and your birthday.
Yes, it's another for the store to pepper you with promotions and find out more you. But if you're cool with that, you can offer up the info to save even more. Sign up for Kohl's emails and you'll get a coupon to save an extra 15% on your next purchase in store or online. And with the YES2YOU rewards program, Kohl's will send you an extra birthday gift, too.
9. They'll match a price if you spot it lower elsewhere (but not everywhere).
Kohl's will price match any national retailer that has a brick-and-mortar store. So Best Buy and Target counts, but Amazon doesn't. And unfortunately, some brands — like Nike, SodaStream and Samsung — are always excluded. But according to The Krazy Coupon Lady, you can still use a coupon to save up to 15% off when price matching.
10. Spot a sale price after you bought something? You can still get a price adjustment.
Save your receipt and keep and eye out: If something you bought goes on sale within 14 days (at Kohl's or at a competitor), you can bring it back with the ad listing the sale price and get the difference refunded. This just excludes clearance items and buy one, get one deals.
11. Those little in-store kiosks are better than the post office.
You could buy a gift and take it to the post office yourself. Or you can place an order using the in-store kiosk and ship it anyone for no added cost. Easy! And you can still use your coupons and earn reward points (of course). "Kohl's changes their minimums for free shipping online all the time but you always get it at the kiosk," says Felix.


Events – Fox Terrier Rescue.

I've had a fair few relationships with your type now. After a year on the blogging market, I've been pitched to by hundreds of you – some good, some bad and some definitely ugly. I'm not naive and I'm in this for the same reasons as you. These things can be mutually beneficial but we've gotta figure out a few things first.
First and foremost, find out my name. I run my blog with a friend and we're always being referred to as 'girls' or (somewhat worse) 'ladies'. They both make me do a little sick in my mouth. Sure, when we've been going a while call me whatever you like (within reason) but for initial contact, get my name right. Check my blog and failing that, have a look at Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. In other words, be a good stalker! A little effort goes a long way. You REALLY want me, remember? Make me feel like you think I'm special (even if you don't).
This is a hard one to advise because personal is best. You're all different and your pitches should reflect that. After all, why would I want to get to know a bunch of people who are all the same? Variety, life, spices – you get the picture. In general though, show me that you know what I'm about, that you've done your research and think we'd genuinely be a good fit for each other. If it turns out we're not a great match, remember there are plenty of bloggers in the sea and I promise there will be some who you will be compatible with – don't waste your time with me, find them.
Now is not the time to go cold.
We'll be useful to you again and vice versa, we can almost guarantee it. You've already done the groundwork and there's really no point throwing that all away. We genuinely love getting to know you so show us that you also care. Tweet us every now and then, email us, send us something in the post or take us out for coffee. It's the little things.
Yes, it's a tough market out there and yes, there are thousands of you to compete with but you'll be surprised at how many of you just don't get it. We WANT to work with you, remember? Just follow these three steps and you'll have a whole host of bloggers wanting to spend time with you again and again.
Trust us, we like to please.

George Leaman remembers a friend.
With these few lines we wish to honor Ken Knisely, the founder and host of the philosophy television program No Dogs or Philosophers Allowed. Ken died unexpectedly last September 25th, following surgery for cancer. He was 48 years old. Ken is survived by his wife Leslie and their kids Erik and Kirsten, and he will be greatly missed by everyone who was touched by his creative energy and generous good humor. His program reached tens of thousands of people in several countries, and just in terms of audience, Ken was one of the most influential philosophers of our life time, if not of all time.
As a high school philosophy teacher in the late 1980s, Ken experimented with video as a way of communicating the content of Plato's dialogues to students interested in music videos. His show grew from this innovation, and he ultimately produced over 100 episodes, on topics as varied as The Conscious Mind, The Ethics of Consumption, Euthanasia, Genetic Engineering, Justifying Terrorism, Race and Racism, The Thinking of Evolution, and so on and on.
No Dogs or Philosophers Allowed became one of the most-honored local access cable programs in the US. It won eight first-place awards in the Hometown USA Video Festivals, and was nominated for a Cable Ace Award. Videotape and DVD versions of many of the shows are used to support philosophical instruction at 270 colleges and universities world-wide.
Ken believed that clear thinking can expand the scope of human freedom, and he was passionate about the idea that rational public discussion of complex problems is essential in a democratic society. Other philosophers have shared these views, but Ken was unique in his ability to show a mass audience that philosophy has something important to contribute to our understanding of urgent practical problems. He did this with a genuine interest in the views of others, and we will all miss his good example.

Home / Racing / Once more in to the breach – or why my luck just has to change….?
I cannot believe that I am already writing a preview for the last day of Cheltenham – am I the only one who feels so empty after the last race is run and who struggles to get overly excited about the racing for the next week or so? Life goes on as we all know too well but this one week a year makes it all worthwhile (even if I invariably make a loss – note to self, must interview Willie Mullins pre meeting next season!), but will I go out with a bang- or more of a whimper?
First things first and Paul Nicholls told me that Far West works as well as or better than Champion Hurdle fourth Zarkandar, and if that is accurate then surely the Triumph Hurdle is his for the taking with Irish raider Our Conor as the one for the forecast (and how brave is that?). The Vincent O'Brien Handicap Hurdle is worth a mention if only to remind is of the late great trainer himself, but a 28-runner handicap is akin to punting suicide in my book (cue Ron and his ratings). No selections for me in this one but it is noteworthy that Willie Mullins has three declared overnight yet Ruby Walsh has chosen to ride Ranjaan for Paul Nicholls. Personally, I may have a little each way on Punjabi at a big price – if he has lost all his old ability then I have lost my money but he is rated a massive 26 pounds lower than at his very best, and representing the Henderson/Geraghty combination I still wonder if the 33/1 is worth a small bet?
The Albert Bartlett at 2.40pm looks intriguing with the form of At Fishers Cross franked big time with the run away win of The New One on Wednesday. African Gold is the apple of Nigel Twiston-Davies' eye and is seen as the long term successor to Imperial Commander though does that imply he will be better over jumps, while O'Faolains Boy was given to us by Ron as one to follow and has since rolled off three wins on the bounce. Chicken as I am, I advise a watching brief with Ballycasey the other I would add in to the mix for those insistent on playing.
The Gold Cup is, for many fans, THE race of the week and this year there is no real standout contender. Long Run has been working well at the Henderson yard but interestingly there is no sign of the cheek pieces they were considering here – is that an error by the Racing press or have they concluded they added nothing to his efforts? Fact is he makes a mistake every race which has to be a concern, leading me to stick a line through his name again this year. Ron fancies Sir Des Champs but he also puts in a bad jump now and again, leading me to Silviniaco Conti, even if I do have to double check the spelling every time I type his name! Paul Nicholls was a lot more confident than his words implied when we met at his yard and he feels he has instantly found one to follow on from Denman and Kauto Star – surely even his yard cannot be that lucky?
Amateur riders are a whole lot better than they used to be but I still struggle to get too excited over the Foxhunters – a spectacle yes, but a betting proposition, I am not so sure? Chapoturgeon is the best horse in the race according to the official handicapper and thus the most likely winner – but whether odds of 4/1 is sensible is another question, and if I had a charity bet, it would go on Backstage who rarely runs a bad race and is better value at 10/1.
Two twenty-four runner handicap end the card, as if to make sure every punter leaves the track potless, with Gevrey Chambertin my idea of the winner of the 4.40pm. Unsurprisingly, David Pipe would love to win the race named after his father (Martin Pipe) and had a list of early entries here as long as your arm, so it must be a clue that he now relies on just the one runner. Sadly the majority of the yard's horses so far have failed to live up to stable hopes which has to be a concern, but at odds of 7/2 he could yet prove to be a steal (though do shop around). In a similar vein, the Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase that ends the Festival is named after Nicky Henderson's father and is a race he invariably targets. This year he has no less than six of the twenty-four overnight declarations, so has a pretty decent chance but I am still not totally convinced. French Opera is presumably the stable number one with Barry Geraghty in the saddle, but I will be backing Oh Crick, again each way to small stakes. Now a ten year old, Joshua Newman takes seven pounds off his back here leaving him with a featherweight of ten stone three here and as he has won at Cheltenham twice and invariably runs well here, and the Alan King team seem in great form, the 33/1 is just a tad too tempting.
Next Mark Furnass is looking forward to the flat proper kicking off!

Song of the Day: Illa J - Timeless (Hip Hop)
Happy Friday! This is the first track on John Yancey's debut album, "Yancey Boys" (2008). It's so perfect for a relaxing day at home. I'd love to be greeted by this track while coming through the front door of my apartment after a long, hard day at work. You'll dig this! I promise! :D
The younger brother of J Dilla, Yancey created his debut album with unused music his brother had created. Under the "Illa J" moniker, Yancey released two EPs and a single and that's about it. He seems to be more active these days with the Slum Village and Yancey Boys groups.
With Slum Village, he helped to produce two mixtapes and an album in 2013. As a member of the Yancey Boys, he released the "Sunset Blvd." album of 2013 as well as a single that same year called, "Quicksand." You can listen to Track 5 from the Sunset Blvd album below.
Check out Illa J's Facebook page for tour dates and his latest beats! Stay tuned for my final track!

Local television stations play an important role in educating, entertaining, and informing the citizens they serve. FCC limits the number of television stations an entity can own or control to advance its media policy goals of competition, localism, and diversity. Competing television stations are entering into agreements to share or outsource services, and some policymakers are concerned about the effects of these agreements on competition and programming. This book examines the uses and prevalence of broadcaster agreements; stakeholders' views on the effects of broadcaster agreements; and the extent, if at all, that FCC has regulated these agreements.


Mix graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar in a medium boώl or plastic bag. Pour into a 7-inch spring form pan that's been coated ώith non-stick cooking spray. Carefully spread crumb mixture evenly over the bottom and press firmly all over.
Put a layer of heavy duty aluminum foil on the bottom and up the sides of the spring from pan as a protective barrier to keep the ώater from getting into the cheesecake. I also like to put my pan into an oven-proof plastic turkey bag (top open) and then put it in the ώater bath, just to ensure I don't get a soggy cheesecake.
Preheat oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a large shalloώ pan filled ώith 1 inch of ώater into the oven to create the ώater bath.
In a large boώl (or the boώl of a standing mixer), beat the cream cheese ώith an electric mixer on loώ speed. Gradually beat in the sugar, sour cream, flour, and vanilla until smooth. Scrape doώn the sides of the boώl. Add the eggs, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and lime juice and continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the cheesecake filling into the spring form pan. Place the pan into the ώater bath in the oven. After 8 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 40 minutes, or until filling is puffed, set, and light broώn. Remove from oven and from the ώater bath, and alloώ to cool on a ώire rack. Once cooled to room temperature, take the foil off, put a paper toώel over the pan, and then cover ώith the foil (you can use a neώ piece of foil, but reusing is just as good). Refrigerate overnight.
For the glaze, combine the sugar, cornstarch, ώater, and lime juice in a small pan. Mix until smooth. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 3 minutes. Cool/chill until cool, but not set.
Pour cooled glaze into the center and spread evenly ώith an offset or rubber spatula. Refrigerate until glaze is cold and firm. Pipe ώhipped cream around the top of the cheesecake, if desired. Garnish ώith lime slices. Refrigerate until ready to serve.


I feel the same too.
Post-surgery has left me with a lot of time on my hand(s)—pardon the pun.
No saws, no sanders, no wood—I've been watching a lot of movies, backed-up TV shows on the DVR, On Demand shows~you name it. I'm restless and bored—when I'm not foggy/dopey headed on those danged pain meds.
I –WAS– so excited to go get my stitches out—until the 1st one got snipped & pulled. There are a LOT of nerves in your fingers—I had 7 more to go.
I have "new" pain to deal with. First- it took a little while for the stitches removal pain to settle down. 2nd- my finger is now uncovered. It's HYPER sensitive to EVERYthing. NOT bumping it is near impossible, which takes my breath away and nearly makes me cry. The thick, crusty scabs are rubbing/falling off and skin is peeling off too -IT -IS -RAW under there.
My finger is very swollen (almost the size of my thumb at first) and I can just barely bend it—but I'm working on that (therapy). The swelling is already wAy down in this picture.
*I've also discovered that I need to learn a new way of typing. Right now, Left hand—normal typing, Right hand—peck. Looks ridiculous. When healed, I'll never again be able to bend my pinkie properly for normal typing.
That was in Jan/Feb 2012– when it seemed like I was totally alone in my excitement over the premier of Season 2! And I shared this fun quiz! ~I didn't hear anyone talking about the incredible first season. . . huh??
If you have opportunity and/or can make the time (2:15), I would love to hear your take-away. Maybe like me, you'll be dreaming about taking that long walk too!
One man's spiritual journey along the Camino de Santiago.
btw~ I am SO close to finally getting back to work..!
The satanic Red Squirrels have hit a new nerve.
I took the car in for an oil change and was alerted to the terrible news that the squirrels have now been nesting in the car's engine! Besides stuffing areas with insulation from my workshop ceiling, they've chewed critical engine/computer wiring to the tune of $568. Thankfully –and surprisingly– the car insurance picked up the bill.
This is not so uncommon—seriously?? WHAT NEXT?
Are you reading this Connie?!?
Okay, so last on my list is that I'm having hand surgery Thursday morning.
But I'll be happy to be out of pain (with time and therapy) and my hand no longer look deformed.
I shared this on my facebook page a few days ago, – – – – – – – – –but thought I'd add it here too!
of the characters BY the characters!
Did you watch last night?!?
Oh, yea. . .the season is finished. . .a-l-ready?
how can this be, and, how COULD THEY. . .
I can't wait for Sunday, 8 o'clock!
And I can hardly wait!
HGTV aired a "prelude" program last night that was especially fun!
They showed quite a bit on Highclere Castle ~aka~ Downton Abbey.
What an interesting story of how "Downton Abbey" came to be!
They give tours of the castle ~ now I HAVE TO visit England!
Have you taken the quizzes?

Q: JQUERY AJAX find filename in response data Hello im trying to load all file names from a folder.
im using this script and it returns a response object called data. When i use console.log on data it returns me to html below. how can i now collect all the file names out of there and write it into the variable fileNames?
my script:
var fileNames= "";
var folder = "csvData/";
    $.ajax({
          type: 'GET',
          url:  folder,

          success: function(data){
              console.log(data);
          },
          async:false
      });

html inside of data response:
a the bottom you can see that a function is called for each file in the folder.
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">
<meta name="google" value="notranslate">

<title id="title"></title>

Index von LOCATION

    [übergeordnetes Verzeichnis]

      Name

        Größe

        Änderungsdatum

A: It seems you want to extract the file names from the calls to addRow.
Here's an example of how to extract them using a regular expression.

const findFiles = (text) => {
  let matches = [];
  let match;
  let regex = /addRow\("(.*?)"/g;

  while (match = regex.exec(text)) {
    matches.push(match[1]);
  }
  return matches;
};

// instead of this example "text" use the result from your AJAX call
const text = `<script>onHasParentDirectory();</scri` + `pt><script>addRow("20220201221359.csv","20220201221359.csv",0,2959,"2.9 kB",1644181136,"06.02.22, 21:58:56");</scri` + `pt><script>addRow("20220206091030.csv","20220206091030.csv",0,2958,"2.9 kB",1644181136,"06.02.22, 21:58:56");</scri` + `pt><scri` + `pt>addRow("20220206135359.csv","20220206135359.csv",0,2959,"2.9 kB",1644181136,"06.02.22, 21:58:56");</scri` + `pt>`;

console.log(findFiles(text));

A: Since you're using jQuery you can just load the file and convert the response to a jQuery object. This gives you the ability to use jQuery's DOM traversal functions like $.find() etc.

$("#test").load( "csvData/", function(data) {
  console.log($(data));
  // $(data).find("#someselector")
  // or use the regex answer here findFiles(data)
})

The ID test is just a container to place results in or something like that.

That's great news for HRC — experts say the Philly 'burbs is the most important locale in PA.
Screenshot from Clinton's Temple speech
If it's true that Pennsylvania is won and lost in the Philadelphia suburbs, Hillary Clinton's campaign is in for some good news today.
The latest Franklin and Marshall poll shows Clinton is up 40 points to Donald Trump in Southeastern Pennsylvania — and that doesn't include Philadelphia, where she's up even more. The poll of 661 people shows Clinton leads Trump 49 percent to 38 percent among likely voters overall.
A Republican presidential candidate hasn't won a statewide election in Pennsylvania since 1988 when George H.W. Bush won the Keystone State, but PA has widely been seen as in play for Trump as his populist message appeals to blue-collar workers in the state's rural areas. And it finally seemed like Pennsylvania was a swing state once again.
But any candidate who wants to win a statewide election in Pennsylvania has to do well in the Philadelphia suburbs. Democrats typically win Philadelphia and Pittsburgh by landslide margins, and Republicans do well in the state's "T" region — AKA that places where Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are not.
Philadelphia is won and lost in the four counties outside Philadelphia — Delaware, Chester, Montgomery and Bucks. A third of the state's 8.2 million registered voters are in Philly and its suburbs. Those four counties have fluctuated in voter registration over the last several years, but still have a relatively balanced party registration compared to, say, Philadelphia, where Democrats hold an 8-to-1 advantage.
If the Franklin and Marshall poll taken in July is any indication, Clinton is killing it in those counties. The college reports 60 percent of registered voters in the southeast region of the state (again, not including Philadelphia) would vote for Clinton if the election were held today. Twenty percent would vote for Trump, 12 percent would vote for "other" and 7 percent are undecided.
The region is the largest advantage for Clinton, save for Philadelphia, where she leads Trump 83 percent to 7 percent. Trump's largest lead is in southwest Pennsylvania, where 59 percent of voters would vote Trump while 36 percent would vote Clinton.
When broken down by race, Clinton leads among both white and nonwhite voters. Forty-six percent of white voters responded they would vote for Clinton while 37 percent would vote for Trump. Nearly 80 percent of nonwhite voters in Pennsylvania would vote for Clinton, compared to 9 percent for Trump.
Clinton also leads Trump is every age breakdown. While she garnered right around 50 percent of the vote in every age bracket, voters under 35 were significantly less likely to vote for Trump and more likely to be voting for someone else — likely either libertarian candidate Gary Johnson or Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
The poll showed the Pennsylvania Senate race is a dead heat, and Democratic candidate Katie McGinty leads Republican Sen. Pat Toomey 39 percent to 38 percent among likely voters.

Designed by London-based architects Nex—, the Royal Wharf Pier is located in the Royal Wharf development in London's Royal Docks and is set to improve connectivity in east London with a fast route to and from the capital.
The contemporary design replaces a derelict jetty, addressing the practical requirements of MBNA Thames Clippers' traffic while also providing a new public space.
The new peer features a 162sq m viewing platform set upon the river with integrated seating allowing people to relax and admire the views up and down the Thames. A waiting area is enclosed in a metal shell to provide warmth and protection from the elements.
Royal Wharf Pier is part of the Royal Wharf development by Ballymore and Oxley. It stands within the £3.5bn Royal Docks regeneration area and includes townhouses, duplexes, apartments and suites and a new market square with shops, restaurants, bars and cafes. Forty five per cent of the 40 acre development is devoted to outside space, including a 500m riverfront promenade.
Royal Wharf Pier is expected to open in late 2019.


UPDATE: Full press release on Taj's win now under the cut with rankings, points and details.
The Quiksilver Pro finals just finished and Taj Burrow beat out Jordy Smith for the win. Taj Burrow finished on 15.57, while Jordy came out with 12.56.
Pictured: Taj Burrow (AUS), 31, has won the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast!
SNAPPER ROCKS, Queensland/Australia (Friday, March 5, 2010) – Taj Burrow (AUS), 31 has taken out the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover over Jordy Smith (ZAF), 22, in rippable two-to-three foot (1 metre) waves at Snapper Rocks.
The opening event of then 2010 ASP World Tour season, the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast started the year off with a bang, bringing the greatest assemblage of surfing talent in history to one of the most iconic pointbreaks in the world, and the world's best surfers shattered high-performance barriers once again.
Smith, who went on a giant-killing spree at the event, eliminating former nine-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater (USA), 38, in yesterday's Round 4 before posting the best result of his young career.
Long touted as one of the most dominant forces in the surfing world, Smith had yet to realize his potential in the competitive realm, but if this event's performance is any indication, the powerful natural-footer is a near-certain threat for an ASP World Title.
Dane Reynolds (USA), 24, looked the form surfer of the event yesterday, defeating defending event winner Joel Parkinson (AUS), 28, with an impressive 19.20 out of a possible 20. However, the young Californian was unable to find a rhythm in today's challenging conditions, bowing out of the event with an Equal 3rd at the hands of Smith.
Bobby Martinez (USA), 27, matched his best result on the Gold Coast today, collecting an Equal 3rd (his first in 2006), but the sole goofy-footer in today's event was clearly upset about the deteriorated conditions.
For the first time in the events' storied nine-year history, the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast was televised LIVE on FUEL TV in Australia, beaming the world's best surfing right into your living room.

International conference for PhD students
Published on 24 March 2017 by J. P. E. Harper-Scott
"Musicology (in)action: Past musics, present practices, future prospects"
Thessaloniki, 9 – 11 February 2018
The Department of Music Studies of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Department of Music Science and Art of the University of Macedonia will host, under the auspices of the Hellenic Musicological Society, an international conference for PhD students entitled "Musicology (in)action: Past musics, present practices, future prospects" in Thessaloniki, Greece, from 9 to 11 of February 2018.
In recent years, musicology has tested its boundaries, objects of study, and, indeed, prospected future through the constant questioning of its subfields, themes, and methodological underpinnings. At the same time, this interrogative process has also been one of constant development of new, often interdisciplinary methodological approaches, frequently extending their grasp on new or hitherto neglected musical repertoires. It is this ambiguous state of conditions that the novice in the field of musicological research faces in her/his everyday effort to situate her/his own research within a constantly changing disciplinary environment. This conference aims to bring together fresh ideas of new researchers in an attempt to help them secure their position with respect to the ongoing discourse of musicology's saga and with an eye to the future prospects of the field.
We welcome proposals of PhD students for 20-minute paper presentations or 40- to 80-minute panel presentations (of up to four participants), addressing a variety of old and new(er) research topics from the broad field of musicology (e.g. historical and cultural musicology, music theory and analysis, ethnomusicology and musical anthropology, music psychology, computational musicology, music philosophy and aesthetics). Proposals on topics that cross the strict intra- or inter-disciplinary boundaries of musicology are also welcomed.
Proposals and inquiries should be submitted to the following email address:
conf.phd.2018@gmail.com
Proposals for paper presentations should include:
– name of participant(s) and institutional affiliation(s)
– abstract (up to 300 words)
– brief CV (up to 100 words)
Proposals for panel presentations should include:
– name of participants and institutional affiliations
– general abstract of proposed panel presentation (up to 300 words)
– individual abstract of each participant's presentation (up to 300 words)
– brief CV of each participant (up to 100 words)
DEADLINE FOR PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: 30 May 2017
NOTIFICATION OF APPROVAL: No later than 15 July 2017
PARTICIPATION FEE: PhD students: 50 euros, undergraduate and master's students: 30 euros
OFFICIAL LANGUAGE: English

Q: Android ListView height to match_parent minus fixed height I have a LinearLayout that has a listview in it, and at the bottom I have a realativeLayout that has 3 buttons in it.
   <LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/ListView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:visibility="visible"
    tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="8dp">

        <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listdogs"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
        android:focusable="true"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
        android:listSelector="@android:color/darker_gray"
        android:textSize="10dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="80dp"
        android:visibility="visible">

    </ListView>

<RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="80dp">

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/dogmap"
            android:layout_width="70dp"
            android:layout_height="68dp"
            android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_marginStart="21dp"
            android:background="@drawable/map" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/dogphone"
            android:layout_width="70dp"
            android:layout_height="68dp"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:background="@drawable/phone" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/dogaweb"
            android:layout_width="70dp"
            android:layout_height="68dp"
            android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"

            android:layout_marginEnd="26dp"
            android:background="@drawable/website" />
    </RelativeLayout>

</LinearLayout>

I want to have the listview set like: android:layout_height="match_parent" but I want it to substract -80dp from that height so it allows my relativeLayout at the bottom to be shown.
I thought that if I added  android:layout_marginBottom="80dp" it would give me the space needed to show my relativeLayout, but it didn´t happen. It only added a blank space there and move my buttons out of the screen.
thank you in advance 4 your support
Regards

A: If you set the weight of the ListView you can achieve the result you want:
<ListView
    android:id="@+id/listdogs"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    android:listSelector="@android:color/darker_gray"
    android:textSize="10dp"
    android:visibility="visible">

</ListView>

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="80dp">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/dogmap"
        android:layout_width="70dp"
        android:layout_height="68dp"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginStart="21dp"
        android:background="@drawable/map" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/dogphone"
        android:layout_width="70dp"
        android:layout_height="68dp"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:background="@drawable/phone" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/dogaweb"
        android:layout_width="70dp"
        android:layout_height="68dp"
        android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginEnd="26dp"
        android:background="@drawable/website" />
</RelativeLayout>

as you can see I added android:layout_weight="1" to the ListView and that will push it till the RelativeLayout

A: I would suggest always use ConstraintLayout, here it is how it will look like in ConstraintLayout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout android:id="@+id/ListView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"
    android:visibility="visible"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

  <ListView
      android:id="@+id/listdogs"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="bottom_bar"
      android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
      android:focusable="true"
      android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
      android:listSelector="@android:color/darker_gray"
      android:textSize="10dp"
      android:layout_marginBottom="80dp"
      android:visibility="visible">

  </ListView>

  <RelativeLayout
      android:id="@+id/bottom_bar"
      app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/listdogs"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="80dp">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/dogmap"
        android:layout_width="70dp"
        android:layout_height="68dp"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginStart="21dp"
        android:background="@drawable/map"
         />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/dogphone"
        android:layout_width="70dp"
        android:layout_height="68dp"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:background="@drawable/phone"/>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/dogaweb"
        android:layout_width="70dp"
        android:layout_height="68dp"
        android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginEnd="26dp"
        android:background="@drawable/website"/>
  </RelativeLayout>

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Summary of changes:

*

*Changed root from relative ConstraintLayout

*added layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf for list view

*added layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf for bottom bar

A: My choice is a RelativeLayout:
