When I was in New Orleans the weekend before last we got out of the city one day and headed down to the Bayou for a swamp tour. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations. Our guide began spending time in the swamp when he was eight years old and was a true alligator hunter/preservationist. He played with the alligators like they were dogs, luring them over with food (marshmallows!) and kissing them on the head. He even surprised us toward the end of the tour by pulling a baby alligator out of a cooler that was on the boat and letting everyone have a chance at holding it. If you're ever in the area, I'd highly recommend seeing it for yourself!

Собор Святого Петра — католический собор в городе Джяково, Хорватия. Кафедральный собор
архиепархии Джяково-Осиека, памятник архитектуры. Один из семи хорватских соборов, носящих статус «малой базилики».

Собор построен в 1866-1882 годах при архиепископе Йосипе Юрае Штроссмайере, видном деятеле хорватского национального возрождения, который был главным инициатором строительства нового собора в Джякове взамен старой и скромной церкви. Архитекторами собора были венские архитекторы Карл Рёзнер и Фридрих фон Шмидт. Собор трёхнефный, имеет в плане форму латинского креста. Фрески с изображением сцен из Ветхого Завета в главном нефе и сцен из жизни Святого Петра в алтарном пространстве выполнили римские художники Александр Максимилиан, Лодовико Зейц и Акилле Ансильони.

Особого внимания заслуживает высокий 15-метровый киворий над главным алтарём, опирающийся на 4 мраморные колонны. С каждой стороны кивория в верхней его части медальоны с изображениями четырёх латинских Отцов Церкви: Амвросий Медиоланский, Иероним Стридонский, Аврелий Августин и Григорий Великий. Автор кивория — Карл Рёзнер. В апсиде храма находится кафедра епископа из резного дуба авторства Фридриха фон Шмидта. В кафедру вделано деревянное изображение Богородицы, выполненное пизанскими мастерами XIV века и приобретённое Штроссмайером в Италии.

В крипте собора — могила епископа Штроссмайера. В 1993 году собор посещал папа Иоанн Павел II.

Собор окружает парк XIX века, признанный ландшафтным памятником и находящийся под охраной. В парке находится дворец епископа.

FALSE. Talking about dying is non-toxic and perfectly safe for all ages.
I hit this wall a lot though, because deep down the majority of people believe it's true.
In any case, there's rarely an opportunity for a follow-through discussion. The conversation is dead before taking its first breath and, so far, this hurdle has stumped me. That's why I spend so much time poking around the carcass in my mind afterwards, trying to find another angle which might induce more people to join me.
For instance this morning I was chewing on the common question; I'm not dying yet. No one I know is dying yet. So why should I think about it now?
This, of course, is the unstated question behind most blank stares and…I'm not gonna lie to you here…it's a good one, possibly the most important question of all. In spite of my flippancy, I fully understand why people don't want to have this discussion: Talking about dying is a courageous act. In order to do it, you have to stop running, turn around, and face the very monster that IS someday going to kill you and all your loved ones. Let's face it, as conversations go, it just doesn't get much braver than that.
So when I broach the topic to someone who's half-dressed at the next locker, or trapped next to me for three hours on a plane, or suddenly choking on their turkey over Thanksgiving dinner, I understand their reluctance. I do. I realize I'm asking them to start thinking right now about a real-life horror flick that at best they can delay, but will never escape.
Which brings me back to the question, Why should they? The reasons had better be compelling.
It's so they don't have to spend their whole lives dragging the deadweight of this secret dread behind them. Once a person learns how to talk comfortably and freely about dying, they can finally stop looking over their shoulder and relax a little. Living every hour, every day, year after year, with a yawning, existential, chronic fear…even if it's kept pinned down in the subconscious most of the time…is draining and toxic. Denial can help for a little while, sure, but ultimately it has huge downside. Huge. Trust me on this one. As a long-time phobic I know.
Courage is a far better option and, while it's harder to muster initially, it makes up for it by having no downside. None. In fact, courage not only eases the fear around talking about dying, it actually makes the event itself a whole lot easier to deal with when it finally arrives.
So when I grin at a 31-year old cashier and say Hey! What do you think about this whole dying thing anyway? It's not because I'm the Grim Reaper's administrative assistant trying to schedule an appointment for her. It's only because I'd like to ease some of her fear about the whole thing. I'm willing to stay and hold her hand.
Facing into any fear shrinks it, and facing into this fear–as early in life as possible–can improve every day that follows in a way that most people don't even know is possible yet. I mean, how could they know when nobody ever talks about it?!
1) I write a blog about dying.
2) I write a blog about talking about dying.
If anyone else has ideas about how to broach the topic of dying in a way that doesn't repel everything within a hundred yards, I'm totally up for suggestions. (And please don't feel you have to be serious.) Comments are even more welcome than usual on this one.
P.S. The terrifically fun photo above is from Ambro's Portfolio.
Perhaps it is enough to "be there" for all who are "ready or compelled" to talk. Like setting up your Lemonade Stand and some will stop, most will not. Some will stop and realize you aren't actually selling hamburgers and miftly run off…and some will stop, and thank God you are there with cool lemonade on the hottest day of their life.

Movies - 1960s Movies - H Music on Film & TV 2 Mins Read
America's most successful pop group The Monkees – Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork – fractured their cheeky TV image (and anticipated much of MTV's self-deprecatory style) with this insane collage of surreal sketches and visual jokes to make arguably the quintessential 60s movie.
Co-written by director Bob Rafelson (who had been the brains behind the Monkees concept) and LSD-inspired Jack Nicholson, it's all dippy philosophising ("nobody lends money to a man with a sense of humour") and wacky sketches with a mind-blowing gallery of Sixties icons – including Annette Funicello, Timothy Carey, Sonny Liston and Frank Zappa.
The movie also produced The Monkees' best album, proving they really could write their own tunes. Unfortunately, Head also effectively buried the band as a going concern.
The fanbase from their TV series was too young to "get" the film (and with some disturbing anti-Vietnam war imagery and the druggy counter-culture atmosphere, it really wasn't made for them) and the baffling nature of the picture was hardly likely to win them too many new fans beyond those who already had a psychedelic bent – or just a love of strange cinema.
But The Monkees knew it was already just about over for them anyway and didn't really care anymore.

As William Morris, the founder of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) puts it, 'stave off decay by daily care'. It is the idea that expensive major works can be avoided if we are thorough with inexpensive regular maintenance.
West Access Conservation and their craftsman have surveyed and conserved ancient and historic buildings for more than 25 years. We well understand the on-going battle between the prevailing weather and the church fabric and we deal with the consequences on a daily basis. The rainwater goods and coverings are the crucial first line of defence against the elements. If they are given proper consideration and regular attention then they will stem the erosion of the underlying fabric.
We are also a company that specialise in difficult and high-level access which makes us well placed to deal with church eaves / roof valleys and tower parapets & downpipes.
We have therefore decided to offer a maintenance service specifically tailored to ecclesiastical and historic buildings. Despite the similar design, we understand that every church will have a unique maintenance requirement and require a bespoke service.
Main Church: Clean out eaves, parapets and valley gutters, clean leaded roofs, clean rainwater hoppers/sumps, collect and dispose of debris.
Ground Drainage: Clean out rainwater gullies, ground gutters, catch pits, inspection chambers connected to rainwater systems. Open, clean and reseal rodding eyes.
On completion of each visit, we would produce a report in electronic format detailing any missing/broken roof tiles, slates or other roof coverings, loose/missing flaunchings & flashings, broken/loose/missing eaves, fascia boards, soffits, rainwater goods.

Karma – A Korean FPS That Does Everything Western Publishers Want
By Ishaan Sahdev October 6, 2010
For months now, Activision have been talking of an online, subscription-based Call of Duty game that they hope will eventually replicate the success of World of WarCraft. Such a title, however, has yet to be shown off publicly, with the only Call of Duty game this year being Black Ops, as Activision toil away in secret.
Japanese publisher, NHN, however, have been operating Karma (or "Battlefield of Karma" in Japan), a subscription-based PC first-person shooter, for over a year now and they just announced a bunch of new character and skill additions for the game.
Developed by Korean developer, Dragonfly, Karma is a Germany vs. Soviet Union World War II shooter with an interesting eastern touch to it, which you can make out from the promo video above. Some of the skills you can use are neat, too, such as the "Dying message" skill, which briefly displays a message pointing out the location of enemy soldiers to your teammates upon your death.
And while Karma might look like a standard World War II shooter, it also has aliens. Oh, and it supports stereoscopic 3D displays. In case you're interested in checking it out, here's the English language version of the game.

He also used to moonlight as a professional manga editor. These days, his day job has nothing to do with games, but the two inform each other nonetheless.


October 25, 2011 - Piper Aircraft is indefinitely suspending further development of the Piper Altaire business jet following a review to align the company's business goals with the light jet market outlook, investment strategies and overall economic forecasts.
Caldecott said that while the Altaire program was on schedule, on budget, and hitting aircraft performance targets, planned development costs had risen above the point that were recoverable under foreseeable light jet market projections. The company will not release the budget for the Altaire development program or expenditures to date. Piper will refund the deposits of Altaire position holders or their deposits can be applied towards other new Piper airplanes.
"Clearly, the market for light jets is not recovering sufficiently and quickly enough to allow us to continue developing the program under the economic circumstances we face," Caldecott said.
Among the enterprise initiatives underway is Design by Piper. This third-party service provider will perform proprietary engineering and technical functions for other companies to take advantage of the high level and wide range of some of the talent that had been assigned to the Altaire development program.
Additionally, Precision by Piper, another third-party service provider, will leverage the company's precision manufacturing expertise and recent upgrades to its manufacturing capabilities which were completed in anticipation of Altaire production. Utilizing the company's vertically integrated manufacturing model, Piper is also stepping up product improvements and investments in existing lines of its business and training aircraft.
Caldecott said, "Without a doubt this event will impact the company, but Piper employees have demonstrated great resilience before to overcome such economic obstacles and I am confident we will once more persevere over the long-run." Deliveries of Piper's piston and turboprop powered aircraft have increased quarter over quarter and year over year as the company continues to outperform the marketplace, meeting or exceeding internal financial and delivery targets.
Piper is preparing a schedule of personnel reductions and will provide information to the affected employees as soon as possible. The company will aggressively work with aviation companies and other employers who are currently seeking talent to place as many impacted Piper employees in other positions as possible.
Current employment at Piper totals more than 850 individuals. As a result of the indefinite suspension of the Altaire jet development program, the company will progressively lay off approximately 150 employees as the program ramps down. That will bring total company employment to somewhat more than 700 individuals. In addition, the company is quickly eliminating the positions of 55 contract personnel.
The Piper PiperJet Altaire was to be a single-engined very light jet (VLJ), designed for single-pilot operation. It was based on the PA-47 PiperJet prototype, the Altaire was to feature a slightly larger fuselage with a rounded cross-section, which would have included a conventional control yoke for flight control, as opposed to the original PiperJet's side-stick controller. The Piper Altaire was to be built in Vero Beach, Florida (USA) The first delivery of thee aircraft was scheduled for 2014.
Back on the 17th Piper appointed Simon Caldecott as interim President and CEO of Piper Aircraft after reviewing the Altaire Program. Caldecott had joined Piper in 2009 and as Vice President of Operations responsible for Manufacturing Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality and Supply Chain. Caldecott replaced Geoff Berger, who joined as the previous interim CEO in mid-2010. Executive Vice President Randy Groom was also let go.

Don't Fear The Apocalypse: Allaying Concerns As Patriarchy Crumbles
November 19, 2017 /0 Comments/in Politics & Pop Culture /by Lindsey Paris-Lopez
A Cultural Apocalypse
We are on the brink of a cultural apocalypse. Courageous women and men sharing their stories through the #MeToo campaign are pulling back the veil on the seedy undercurrent of sexual violence permeating our culture. The patriarchy is collapsing under its own oppressive weight as people refuse to prop it up any longer.
An apocalypse is a revelation of truth after the veneer of myth is stripped away. Myth glosses over ugly reality like a white-washed tomb. In the case of toxic patriarchy, the myth has been unraveling little by little for a long time. But now it is coming crashing down as men of prestige and influence are being exposed for their abuses of power over people who were vulnerable in relation to them. The "man's world, boys-will-be-boys" status quo is finally beginning to dissipate. As "all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out," my hope that the disease of toxic, violent sexism and abuse can be exposed, treated, and ultimately healed. The deadly silence that imprisoned victims for so long is disintegrating; may the truth set all of us free.
Facing Our Fears
Ultimately, an apocalypse unleashes hope, but also fear. The constant revelations of sex abuse scandals can trigger unbearable emotions and memories in some who have experienced similar harm. For others, the vast pervasiveness of this abuse is frightening. As someone who has not experienced sexual abuse, the #MeToo campaign has been eye-opening in a way that brings hope and devastation all at once. The abuse coming to light is a good thing, the women and men breaking through walls of shame to tell their stories are an inspiration. Yet I find myself worrying for my daughters (more so than myself, although harassment and abuse can occur regardless of age or marital status), thinking that I have been naïve about the extent to which men believe themselves to be entitled over women (it must be more than I imagined). The revelation of truth is frightening.
However, there is another set of fears among some people, mostly men. I have seen these fears particularly in the Girardian circles with which I am acquainted. As one famous man after another is accused of sexual harassment, I am seeing people frightened by the way a reputation is jeopardized by these accusations. Phrases like "Believe women" are being taken as encouragement of mob mentality that doesn't leave any benefit of the doubt for the accused. People are afraid that the judicial standard of "innocent until proven guilty" will not be applied to those suspected of abuse. There is a fear of vengeance, lack of forgiveness, and rejection of redemption. These fears must be addressed, because once they are allayed, those who hold them can become better allies in the struggle to transform patriarchy into an equality based on respect and compassion.
How Misapplication of Mimetic Theory May Fuel Fear
René Girard's mimetic theory sheds light on the way violence begets violence and the way enemies can mirror each other in violent tactics. His great insight about human conflict is that, as much as we wish to distinguish ourselves from our adversaries, much of our conflict stems from our shared desires. When desires align and rivals compete over those desires with tactics that grow progressively ruthless, they can be said to be "mimetic doubles." The moral distinctions we try to make to elevate ourselves over and against our enemies are lost in judgment and violence. Sometimes, the violence utterly consumes all involved. Other times, warring parties find a way out of the violence, either through uniting against a scapegoat – an outsider who may be or may not be guilty of crimes but who is not to blame for the entirety of the conflict – or through forgiving each other and working out their conflict with patience and mercy.
Mimetic rivalry is a pattern of human conflict that manifests itself in myriad ways from personal relationships to political campaigns to wars between nations. And those who study mimetic theory can be particularly adept at seeing the shared desires between rivals, the all-consuming nature of violence, the proclivity of people to rally together against scapegoats, and the desperate need we all have for forgiveness.
With this in mind, I hear some of the concerns of some (not all) men acquainted with mimetic theory and I feel as though I understand. As story after story comes out, people are warning against a rush to judgment. As the dam of silence breaks open and more and more women express the pain, anger, and frustration we have felt over generations of being taken advantage of or for granted, as each new story triggers new feelings of mingled hope and fear, some are wary that the anger could rally people, mob-like, against an accused person or men in general. There is a lot of concern that we are not hearing more messages of mercy or leaving room for redemption. I even sense that some fear that those of us who want to smash the patriarchy want to replace it with matriarchy, a different hierarchy that subordinates men under women.
Allaying Concerns
I can see how these concerns may stem from misapplications of mimetic theory. I do not want to belittle them, but I do want to allay them. If the changing world has you wary that women are out for vengeance, that innocent men will get swept away in floods of anger, and that even guilty men should be considered redeemable, I want to meet you with understanding. But I ask you to examine your concerns in a new light, recognize the way these fears can reinforce a patriarchal status-quo that hurts women and men, and redirect your concerns toward helping to build a world beyond misogyny, patriarchy, and victimization.
Fears cannot be easily dismissed, but must be worked through. Women who come forward to tell their stories are working through their fears to assert their dignity. Even as tides of sympathy turn toward them, they still face a barrage of shaming questions, rationalizations of the behaviors of the men who hurt them, the risk of their story not being believed, the risk of their hurt made light of. Men who fear false accusation, I hope you can work through your fears as well. The truth is, less (possibly much less) than 10 percent of rape allegations turn out to be false. Although false allegation is not unheard of, it is exceedingly rare. On the other hand, a fear of having one's accusation disbelieved is significant enough to keep some women from telling their stories. Women are so often dismissed as emotional or irrational, and patriarchal cultures worldwide have a problem taking women seriously. The fear that women will make false allegations increases a societal distrust of women and reinforces the patriarchy. So please, men, work through this fear, even as women work through theirs. The risk that a woman would make herself so vulnerable for a lie pales in comparison to the risk of keeping the distrust of women alive.
More concerning to me than the fear of false allegation, however, is the fear I have seen that some men assume women are out for vengeance. Seeing all the pain and anger women are expressing, I have seen some men express a fear that women want to make men pay. This encompasses the fear of false allegation, but extends beyond it. It sees the anger women are expressing as a precursor to or even a manifestation of violence – if not physical, then social. It's a fear of a desire to "put men in their place."
It should go without saying that, as with white supremacy, patriarchy is a form of systemic violence that cannot easily be overturned to swap victims and victimizers. I do hope, and believe, that the patriarchy is on the demise as its harm is unveiled, but we have a long way to go before it crumbles away to nothing. And no one wants to see matriarchy, a hierarchy of women over men, replace it. We do not desire to mirror the violence done to us back to men – certainly not physically, but moreover, not socially or culturally or politically or spiritually. We don't want domination, control, or vengeance.
A mimetic understanding of the cycles of violence may make some men fear that women want to occupy the dominant echelons of society over men. But when we talk about "smashing the patriarchy" we are speaking with what James Alison has called "the intelligence of the victim." We speak as those who know what it is like to be treated as less than men. Some women know that on the deepest, most intimate levels. We know what a broken world it is when we ourselves are belittled, demeaned, taken for granted, or taken advantage of, and we don't want to do that to anyone else. We don't want to return that violence for violence. We just want full recognition of our human dignity alongside men.
Where Does Forgiveness Come In?
Even so, I acknowledge that, with the spotlight finally on the harm done to women, with one man after another shamed over sexual abuse and harassment, anger levels are high. There is little talk of forgiveness for men who have fallen from grace. I can see how this may be unnerving to some.
I cannot speak for all women now, but I do know that I am not alone when I say that many of us recognize the necessity of forgiveness in the healing process. Many of us know that in this broken, aching world, we must have mercy on one another. And many of us are ready to forgive, and have already forgiven, those men who acknowledge with genuine regret the ways they have hurt women in the past.
But as for those who commit horrific crimes against the bodies and souls of women and men — those who use their power and influence to take advantage of and silence others – we must first be concerned with diminishing their power to hurt anyone else. The need to declare that such abuses are intolerable is driving public outcry against the celebrities and politicians embroiled in scandal. Some see this as shaming and scapegoating (in the Girardian sense, where the scapegoat need not be innocent). I disagree, as holding someone to account is not the same thing as putting the blame for a cultural crisis – in this case, rape culture and misogyny – entirely on one's shoulders. It is clear that more must be done to dismantle patriarchy, but holding prominent figures accountable for abuse is an essential step.
And what about forgiveness and redemption? Those who study mimetic theory, among others, rightly point to these as essential healing balms for the worlds ailments. Some are worried that the cry for justice, which necessarily includes a reckoning for those who seriously harm others, leaves no room for mercy and thus cannot fully heal.
I believe that justice and mercy, far from canceling each other, are inherently connected. True justice is restorative; it repairs past wrongs and mends broken relationships. It includes mercy first for the victim, and then for the victimizer. This is not an obligation on the victim but a responsibility for society. It is not always possible and never incumbent upon victims to forgive abusers, and attempting to coerce forgiveness perpetuates abuse. But society should allow and facilitate a path of redemption, for it is through redemption that cycles of violence end, thus protecting and affirming the full humanity of all.
I believe in the necessity of forgiveness. But forgiveness is an ongoing process that starts with conviction and ends with repentance. When harm remains hidden in the dark, there can be no repair, and cycles of violence perpetuate. As abuses come to light, we are at the conviction stage, and there is necessary anger, and necessary consequences. This is the beginning of a path to restitution and restoration. As women assert their dignity and society affirms it by ceasing to tolerate sexism and abuse, men who have committed harm may come to see women (or the men they have abused) in their full humanity and repent of their abuse. In repentance, victimizers not only recognize the humanity of their victims, but reclaim their own humanity in the process. Without repentance, forgiveness given is not received.
So to all who are wary as this "man's world" begins to crumble around us, to all concerned that the anger against the patriarchy extends to all men, to all who are anxious that cries for justice will perpetuate rather than quell violence:
If you see pain, frustration, and rage coming from women, understand that it is coming not only from a barrage of constant media triggers, but also from generations of being on the underside of a patriarchal power dynamic which has resulted in countless major and minor aggressions. Our bodies have been objectified, our minds have been belittled, and our full humanity has not been recognized. Emotions are raw. I acknowledge that that can be scary.
But when our fears clash, defenses are raised, dialogue is shut down, and the status quo of patriarchy is reinforced. Although patriarchy elevates men above women, it ultimately lets us all down because we cannot live into the fullness of humanity under a system that diminishes women's dignity. So let us instead understand the fears of one another and work through them together. Let's let our mutual vulnerability connect us in empathy.
Recognize that our struggle to smash the patriarchy is not about vengeance toward men but the dismantling of the myth of misogyny in order to re-establish our humanity on a foundation of equity and respect. Recognize that the struggle against violence against women as well as men can culminate in a more peaceful world, in which power is not asserted over the vulnerable but channeled toward healing. If peace does not begin on the most personal, intimate level, how can it spread throughout the world?
Instead of fearing the negative mimetic contagion of vengeance, help us distribute the cure of positive mimesis by affirming women's dignity.
Do not fear the apocalypse. Beyond the veil, a more beautiful world is waiting.

Talking to E.T.? Why Math May Be the Best Language
By Leonard David 2017-06-07T10:53:41Z
How best to strike up conversations with intelligent aliens? Mathematics might be the common lingo.
(Image: © ESA/Hubble & NASA)
Communication between Earthlings and intelligent aliens should be based on mathematics — exo-arithmetic greetings that form a shared lingo, some researchers say.
The idea is that mathematics is as much a part of our humanity as music and art. And it is mathematics that might be understandable — even familiar — to extraterrestrial civilizations, allowing us to strike up star-speak repartee.
Carl DeVito, an emeritus faculty in the mathematics department at the University of Arizona in Tucson, has proposed a language based on plausibly universal scientific concepts. He recently detailed his work at the Astrobiology Science Conference 2017, held from April 24 to April 28 in Mesa, Arizona. [13 Ways to Hunt Intelligent Alien Life]
Complex problem
"Science, SETI, and Mathematics," a 2014 book by Carl DeVito, investigates the best ways to communicate with alien civilizations. (Image credit: Berghahn Books)
Designing a signal that attracts attention and, on examination, is "clearly" the work of intelligence, is a complex problem, DeVito told Space.com. To explore the possibilities, he authored "Science, SETI, and Mathematics" (Berghahn Books, 2014).
DeVito spotlights the famous German mathematician Karl Gauss, who suggested in 1820 the planting of large swaths of Siberian forest in a graphical demonstration of the Pythagorean Theorem.
Some 20 years later, Austrian astronomer Joseph von Littrow was keen on touching off kerosene-filled trenches in the Sahara Desert that took on the form of various geometric shapes.
Both scientists thought that such large displays on Earth would surely grab the attention of faraway intelligent life. Doing so, they reasoned, would be communicating our planet's intellectual prowess. (Neither idea was carried out.)
"The concept of first attracting attention and then displaying meaning is, perhaps, the best way to solve the problem," DeVito said. "Maybe extraterrestrial intelligence will have similar ideas and thereby make themselves known to us."
DeVito suggests that, for two societies to be able to exchange precise, scientific information of mutual interest, they must first learn each other's units of measurement.
Together with linguist R. T. Oehrle, DeVito has developed a language for exactly that purpose, potentially enabling civilizations from different star systems to report to each other the masses of their planets, the chemical composition of their atmospheres or the energy output of their stars.
"It is, of course, based on some assumptions," DeVito said. These assumptions include:
Both societies can count and do arithmetic.
Both societies recognize the chemical elements and the periodic table.
Both have made a quantitative study of the states of matter.
Both know enough chemistry to carry out chemical calculations.
Regarding these suppositions — all known to humans by the 19th century — DeVito said we can communicate the gram, the calorie, the degree (Kelvin) and our units of pressure.
Potential difficulties
Still, there are several potential difficulties that must be recognized.
For one, an alien race might start with a different geometry and derive its laws of motion in that geometry, DeVito said. Therefore, the results might be very different from the formulation of the laws that are familiar to us, he said.
"The mathematics of motion is differential calculus. Can we assume that an alien race shares this with us? Differential and integral calculus are so fundamental in so many areas of science that it is hard to imagine a science without them," DeVito said. "But this is, perhaps, a human bias."
DeVito said he wonders whether an alien society would have the equivalent of Euclidean geometry.
"We, of course, can't know, but we must be aware that the physics of an alien race, even in a fundamental area like mechanics, might differ in subtle but important ways from our own," he said.
Similarly, would an alien civilization, in its scientific development, come to model its solar system as humanity has, in the Copernican system?
We Earthlings certainly want to present ourselves as a highly intelligent race and put our best face forward when it comes to E.T. contact. (Image credit: NASA)
Best face forward
Given that aliens understand physical reality, DeVito said we can begin constructing a language and communicate with E.T. whatever amount of mathematics is thought necessary.
"The problem — and it is a difficult one — is how to go from a discussion of mathematics to a discussion of other aspects of human civilization." It's very important, he said, that the cross-cultural researcher must play a key role in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
DeVito acknowledges that we Earthlings certainly want to present ourselves as a highly intelligent race. In putting our best face forward, we want to be seen as a life-form that has achieved much and learned much, he said, "but is wise enough to realize that it has much more to learn."

Sullivan Shakes Up A Hollow World
When Ellis Rogers is told that his idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is terminal, he decides to try the impossible. By making a modified version of a scientific theory written by German scientist Gustaf Hoffman and published in the 1930s, Rogers hopes he can travel into the future and find a cure.
There isn't anything to keep him in the present. Other than long-time friend Warren Eckard and wife Peggy, there isn't much holding Rogers to the present. After he and his wife lost their son, a devastating loss that left him shouldering the bulk of the blame, their 35 year of marriage had become largely unsalvageable. Most of the time, he took refuge in the garage where he tinkered.
His tinkering led to the construction of a time machine out of improbable materials. The seat was salvaged from their old Aerostar minivan and nothing much more than plastic milk crates outlined the perimeter of the machine, dictating what area would find its way into the far future.
Hollow World is a wildly speculative and fantastic read.
The future that Rogers finds is much further ahead than he ever imagined. Humankind has taken refuge underground due to the peril of an environment that become increasingly hostile and often deadly.
The trade doesn't seem terribly bothersome. The advancements of artistic holograms, atom reorganization, and portal transportation has created a world where people want for nothing.
Except, this want for nothing isn't entirely true. Along with removing disease, undesirable emotions, and gender identity, genetic alteration has left humankind with only a handful of patterns that crave an individuality they left behind hundreds of years ago. And even the little bit that is left is in jeopardy. In an effort to wipe out misunderstandings, some citizens are working on the "hive mind" project that would link everyone together, indefinitely.
Rogers weighs on both the beauty and repugnance of this fanciful world, taking most of it in stride while simultaneously thrust into an anomaly. Despite genetic safeguards that make humans mostly docile, he stumbled into an uncommon crime scene to witness an impossibly rare murder.
His host, an attributor in a future where few disputes exist, teaches Rogers about things he never imagined to discover in the future — friendship, love, and loyalty. As touching as it is nostalgic, the story is a triumph with a flair for science ficiton noir.
A couple of graphs about Michael J. Sullivan.
Hollow World was a novel that the author never meant to write, given that Sullivan already had a solid schedule with several chronicles and series. His debut series, The Riyria Revelations, has been translated into fourteen languages.
He started Hollow World as a short story for an anthology with a couple of known authors to anchor several new writers who had been selected from contest submissions. Once finished, he knew the story he really wanted to write was a novel and not a short despite it being a genre-crossing piece that detracts from his epic fantasy cred. It was for this reason Sullivan decided to self-publish with a little help from Kickstarter. The work was so well received, he found a publisher too.
Hollow World By Michael J. Sullivan Opens 8.1 On The Liquid Hip Richter Scale.
Michael J. Sullivan has his own interesting story in that his work never found traction until the day he decided not to write for commercial success but rather his daughter. As soon as he started writing for her and a few friends rather than the market, Sullivan found his muse. It wasn't until the third book that his wife compelled him to write.
In many ways, Sullivan finds this magic again in Hollow World because it too is a labor of love rather than a book with market success in mind. You can find Hollow World on Amazon or download it for iBooks. The audio version can be found on iTunes, perfectly narrated by Jonathan Davis. You can also find Hollow World by Michael J. Sullivan at Barnes & Noble. To learn more about the author, visit him on his blog.

Home Guides Archives "Lovers"
"Lovers"
by Shuly X. Cawood
Shuly X. Cawood, Chapel Hill
"I have relatives in Mexico on my mother's side, so our cultural differences were an inspiration for this poem," says Shuly Cawood. "I have written a lot of poetry about my travels to visit that side of the family and the brief period of my life when I lived with them." Judge Jane Mead was impressed by the metaphors in "Lovers," which she said were accomplished with great skill. "One envisions the places in this poem," Mead says. "The imagery resonates on the level of idea. This poet's descriptive powers are considerable."
Cawood says she is not influenced by any particular writer, but she admires poets Jane Hirschfield, Jacqueline Osherow and Margaret Atwood. "My father has been an inspiration because he's a writer," she says. Her dad, now retired, was the editorial page editor for the Dayton Daily News in Ohio. Cawood is originally from Yellow Springs, Ohio. She moved to the Triangle in 1998 and works at the Women's Center in Chapel Hill, as associate director of career and financial programs. She has published poems in the journals Moving Out and The Pegasus Review.
Cawood is currently working on a book with her father that she expects to be a combination of fiction and poetry. "We have talked about writing together for a long time," she says. "Now we finally have the chance."
When we visit my tia
my aunt in Torreón
I sleep in the house,
the garden like a green moat
around white stucco walls.
She gives me a king-size bed,
and I doze off on one side and awaken
on the other of this gold-comforter
Beyond the lemon tree and yard,
he sleeps in a twin bed with two blankets
in the room off the garage where she sews,
her measuring tapes like yellow snakes,
and her laces, chiffons, silks
bundled on the table and every bit of chair.
She's cleared a space
on just one shelf
for his bag.
He awakens to the swish
of her old bride dress
hanging loose and thin
from a black wire hanger,
its sleeves dusting walls
in the breeze.

We wish we could guarantee that if you follow every piece of advice on this website, everyone will be able to learn and use your app without a hitch. Sadly, that's not the case.
Some of your users will run into questions or problems along the way. They'll be looking for answers within your app, and if they don't find them quickly, they may leave and never come back.
This page covers design patterns for making help accessible in your app and tips for creating help content for users who are eager for assistance.
Designing Help into Your App
Don't show unsolicited help, except in very limited cases
Naturally, you want everyone to quickly learn the ropes, discover the cool features, and get the most out of your app. So you might be tempted to present a one-time introductory slideshow, video, or splash screen to all new users when they first open the app. Or you might be drawn to the idea of displaying helpful text bubbles or dialogs when users interact with certain features for the first time.
In almost all cases, we advise against approaches like these because:
They're interruptions. People will be eager to start using your app, and anything you put in front of them will feel like an obstacle or possibly an annoyance, despite your good intentions. And because they didn't ask for it, they probably won't pay close attention to it.
They're usually not necessary. If you have usability concerns about an aspect of your app, don't just throw help at the problem. Try to solve it in the UI. Apply Android design patterns, styles, and building blocks, and you'll go a long way in reducing the need to educate your users.
The only reason for showing pure help content to new users unsolicited is:
To teach high value functionality that's only available through a gesture.
For example, we use help content to teach users how to place apps on their Home Screen. This functionality is:
High value
Without it, users wouldn't be able to customize the most frequently visited Android screen to meet their needs.
Available only through a gesture
Because there's no button or menu for it, users might not ever discover it on their own.
However, not all high value gesture-only functionality needs a tutorial. For example, don't teach users how to scroll content. They already know how because it's a fundamental, system-wide interaction.
The first time each user visits the All Apps screen, a semi-transparent overlay appears to teach an important gesture.
Bottom line: when it comes to offering help in your app, it's much better to let users come to you when they need it.
Follow the standard design for navigating to help
On every screen in your app, offer help in the action overflow. Always make it the very last item in the menu and label it "Help".
Even if your screen has no other action overflow items, "Help" should appear there and not be promoted to the action bar.
We've established this standard design so that when users are desperate for help, they won't have to hunt to find it (see design principle: Give me tricks that work everywhere).
Assume that every call for help is urgent
In addition to help, you might want to expose other information, such as copyright info, credits, terms of service, and privacy policy.
Let users access this information through the Help menu item, but optimize the flow for people with urgent questions about how to do something or why something is happening in your app. The smaller subset of users who are looking for legal fine print or the names of the people who created the app won't be as burdened by taking a few extra steps.
The same is true for any communication options you might want to provide, such as contacting customer support or submitting feedback. Offer these options in a way that doesn't add an extra step before users see help. When you put the help content forward, you increase the likelihood that users will find the answers on their own, which in turn reduces your support costs.
When someone chooses "Help":
Present a dialog asking them to choose between help and other options.
Immediately launch a web browser with help content. Place other options in a footer.
Build a help screen in your app and offer other options in the action bar. For example, you could let users contact you with questions or feedback through an action button. The action overflow is the ideal place for non-help information that users rarely need.
This requires more development work than launching a web browser, but it's a nicer experience for users because they don't leave your app to get the help they need and doesn't require a network connection.
Principles for Writing On-Screen Help Content
Help is part of the UI
On-screen help is an extension of your app's UI, not a description of it. All words on the screen from the core app to the help should follow our Writing Style principles so that the end-to-end experience feels seamless and cohesive.
Make every pixel count
It's not necessary to document every single detail about your app, especially things that are extremely apparent just by looking at the UI, or behaviors that are standard for the platform. Surface just the key additional information that the on-screen text doesn't have room to describe, in a way that makes it easy to map to the screen.
Pictures are faster than words
In describing key UI elements and providing step-by-step instructions, consider combining text with icons, partial screenshots with callouts, and other imagery. You'll need fewer words to explain things, and users will absorb the information more quickly.
Help me scan, not read
People don't read help from start to finish. They scan around, looking for a piece of information containing the answer they need. Make it less burdensome with friendly formatting and layout choices like bold headings, bulleted and numbered lists, tables, and white space between paragraphs. And if you have a large amount of content, divide it into multiple screens to cut down on scrolling.
Take me straight to the answer
What's better than a screen that's easy to scan? A screen that requires no scanning at all because the answer's right there. Consider having each screen in your app navigate to help that's relevant just to that screen. We call this contextual help, and it's the holy grail of user assistance. If you take this approach, be sure to also provide a way to get to the rest of the help content.


If a job injury reduces your future earning potential, workers' compensation benefits could help cover the gap.
It's hard to make ends meet if you're no longer bringing home the same paycheck. Don't let your workplace injury keep hurting you financially even after you're back at work.
An experienced lawyer can get the maximum compensation available to you.
Bothwell & Hamill helps hardworking people in Yakima, Kennewick, Sunnyside, Spokane, Richland, Ellensburg, Wenatchee, Walla Walla and across Central Washington get workers' comp benefits, including for loss of earning power.
Getting injured or sick because of your job — and being unable to work as a result — was more than enough stress. Then, when you're finally able to work again, what happens if you can't make as much money as you did before?
You can receive compensation for your loss of earning power (LEP) under Washington State's workers' compensation laws.
USE OUR CALCULATOR TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU COULD GET.
Your doctor only clears you to work if it's for fewer hours than before.
Your doctor only clears you for "light duty" work.
Your employer places you in a lower-paying position.
Do I Qualify for LEP Benefits?
Your earnings loss exceeds 5% of the wages you earned before you were injured.
Your doctor certifies that your loss of earning power is due to your work-related illness or injury.
And you actually return to work at the lower wage or amount of hours.
Additionally, you may be eligible for LEP benefits if you had two or more jobs at the time of your injury but your doctor says you now can only hold one of those jobs.
NOTE: This calculator is only valid for injuries occurring after July 1, 1996.
Curious How We Got This Number?
This number is based on the Max Time Loss Rates chart and the Loss of Earning Power Guidelines from the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I).
You already know it can be difficult to file for L&I benefits when you're first injured or become ill because of your job.
It can also be complicated to prove you qualify for LEP benefits.
If you were hurt on the job and now make less money because of it, we highly recommend working with an attorney from Bothwell & Hamill.

Anthropization of landscapes in Benin: dynamics, fragmentation and agricultural development
Adi Mama (2013). Anthropization of landscapes in Benin: dynamics, fragmentation and agricultural development. Interfaculty School of Bioengineers, Department of Landscape Ecology and Plant Production Systems, Faculty of Science, Free University of Brussels, Belgium, 198 pages.
Promotors: Prof. DE CANNIERE Charles (Bruxelles), Prof. BOGAERT Jan (Belgique), et Prof. SINSIN Brice (Bénin).
Abstract: To understand better the anthropization of the landscape in Benin, the dynamics of the land use was estimated in soudanian zone (North-Benin), soudano-Guinean (Centre-Benin) and guinean (south-Benin) from three Landscape satellite images (MSS 1972, TM 1986, and ETM+ 2006), supported by field visits. These three zones reflect well enough the environmental and human context of the intertropical zone. The main objective of the present dissertation was to quantify the landscape dynamics due to the anthropization of the landscapes of forests-savannahs from the remote sensing, geographical information system and from landscape ecology.
Our results showed that the ecological balance of the forests-savannahs underwent important disturbances. Slash-and-burn agriculture, logging for timber, the carbonization, urbanization, vegetation fire and three plantations have been identified as the main driving strengths of these dynamics.
The landscape metric's, whish were historically constituted by forests-savannas was substituted by a mosaic of savannah, fields-fallows, grounds nudes-urban area and plantations. The use of remote sensing data was able to distinguish four big spatial transformation processes of the land cover classes. So, between 1972 and 2006, the dominant processes in the landscape were the deforestation, the savanization, the agricultural development marked by the creation followed by the enlargement of the spots of field-fallows. The quantification of the anthropogical disturbances of the indications of the spatial structure calculated for every land cover classes on the basis of the density, of the average area, of the dominance, of the shape index and the fractal dimension index of the spots of the classes allowed detecting a global fragmentation process and the anthropization of the landscapes.
The temporal dynamics of the structure and composition of the forests-savannahs landscape in the three climatic zones area of Benin showed an anthropization illustrated especially by the forest-savannahs fragmentation, the data simulation by means of Markov chains of the first degree tendency showed that while fields-fallows, three plantations and nudes-urban area will extend, forests-savannahs shall know a strong decrease. After all, our study highlighted that every three zones were highly dynamics. These anthropogenic transformations are dangerously going to compromise the future of these landscapes on which depends the survival of the local populations.
Our approach allows putting the natural bases of a rational preservation policy and management of landscapes by the establishment of thresholds of fragments necessary for the conservation of the biodiversity.
