José Bermúdez, Understanding 'I': Language and Thought, Oxford University Press, 2016, 160pp., $40.00 (hbk), ISBN 9780198796213.
The thesis that indexicals are in some sense 'essential' traces back to seminal papers by John Perry and David Lewis and is now a form of orthodoxy in philosophy (Perry 1977, 1979; Lewis 1979; for an overview of the literature see Cappelen and Dever 2013, chapter one). The thesis has its origin in the philosophy of language and mind, but the implications are assumed to stretch into all areas of philosophy: epistemology, theories of perception and of action, moral philosophy, and metaphysics. More generally, the alleged insight of essential indexicality has been taken to show that perspective — and the perspective of the first person in particular — plays an important role throughout philosophy. An enormous amount of work, in all areas of philosophy, relies on these alleged insights from Perry and Lewis.
Despite this, there's remarkably little consensus about what constitutes arguments or evidence for the thesis of essential indexicality. Those who advocate or rely on the thesis will often refer to the papers mentioned above. But while those papers contain intriguing and suggestive examples (paradigmatically Perry's messy shopper, Lingens the amnesiac, and Lewis's two gods), they contain few clear arguments. The examples that everyone remembers show nothing on their own, and it's a challenge, to put it mildly, to figure out how to use those examples in the service of sound arguments with essential indexicality as a conclusion. José Bermúdez's book is a welcome effort to meet this challenge. His ambitious aim is to provide what he takes to be the real argument for essential indexicality, to correctly articulate the thesis, and then to show that it is philosophically significant.
The first chapter aims to establish the foundations for what follows. Bermúdez presents what he sees as the fundamental argument for essential indexicality and the connection between indexicality and agency: explanations of actions must contain indexical elements to be complete. The second chapter develops a general framework for thinking about the connection between sense and understanding: the sense of an expression is what competent language users understand. The third and fourth chapters apply this general framework to develop a theory of what understanding 'I' amounts to. Bermúdez's view is inspired by that of Gareth Evans, but he argues that Evans failed to explain how 'I' thoughts can be objective — e.g., how they can be understood by others, and how others can deny and report on what someone said using 'I'. In chapters five and six, Bermúdez develops a theory that improves on Evans' in these respects; it provides an account of the 'token sense' of 'I' that satisfies the various desiderata presented in earlier chapters and avoids the alleged pitfalls of Evans' theory. The final chapter applies the theory to give an account of immunity to error through misidentification.
In what follows, we first present and assess the argument for essential indexicality in Chapter 1. We then focus on Bermudez's Evans-inspired account of the sense of 'I'. We end with an assessment of his proposal for how to explain the alleged phenomenon of immunity to error through misidentification.
The Perry-Lewis tradition has not been without critics. An early and powerful criticism of Perry can be found in Ruth Millikan's 1990 paper 'The Myth Of The Essential Indexical'. Contemporary critics of the tradition include the authors of this review (Cappelen and Dever 2013) and Ofra Magidor (2015). Bermúdez's first chapter is called "'I': An Essential Indexical" and is a response to this critical tradition. More specifically, it's a reply to the arguments in the third chapter of Cappelen and Dever (2013). Bermudez's aim is to articulate the real, underlying argument for essential indexicality — an argument that, according to Bermúdez, has not been articulated before and is immune to our objections.
Premise 1: No action rationalization can correctly reconstruct an agent's practical reasoning if it is possible for some agent to hold every propositional attitude in the set and not perform the action.
Premise 2: Even if an agent holds every propositional attitude in an impersonal action rationalization, she will not perform the consequent action if she believes that she is not the person referred to in the action rationalization.
Premise 3: For any impersonal action rationalization, it is possible for an agent to hold every propositional attitude in the set and nonetheless believe that she herself is not the person referred to in those attitudes.
IICa: Impersonal action rationalizations are necessarily incomplete.
• Belief: François is about to be shot.
• Desire: François not be shot.
• Belief: If François ducks under the table, he will not be shot.
• Action: François ducks under the table.
• Belief: Nora is in danger.
• Desire: Nora not be hurt.
• Belief: If the door is closed, Nora will be safe.
• Action: Herman closes the door.
We argue that both of these can be complete, i.e., that we don't need to add any first-personal beliefs (i.e. we don't need to add a belief that the agent would express using 'I') in order to fully reconstruct the agent's practical reasoning. Bermúdez's argument aims to respond to that claim. The argument is directed at Impersonal Action Rationalization 1 above: according to Bermúdez's Premise 3, Francois can believe that he is not Francois (as happens in the paradigm Lewis-Perry cases, where subjects are confused about their identity), and so, by Premise 1 and 2, Impersonal Action Rationalization 1 cannot correctly reconstruct his practical reasoning. He concludes that any complete action rationalization must include an indexical component. This is the foundation for the thesis of essential indexicality.
We have two concerns about Bermúdez's argument for the conclusion that indexicals play an essential role in explaining and rationalizing agency. First, recall Impersonal Action Rationalization 2 above. Note that the propositional attitudes referred to in that rationalization don't mention or refer to the agent, i.e. don't refer to Herman. It doesn't attribute "Herman"-beliefs or "Herman"-desires to Herman. Instead, the rationalization is entirely third-person. Here is what we think happens: when Herman sees his daughter in danger, he just acts. Not via some representation of himself: he doesn't, for example, need to go via the belief that Nora is Herman's daughter. He just acts when Nora is in danger. With that in mind, consider Bermúdez's Premise 2. In saying "she will not perform the consequent action if she believes that she is not the person referred to in the action rationalization," this premise simply presupposes that all action rationalisations are of the subject-referring kind and that none are of our second kind. Bermúdez gives no argument for that assumption. Maybe we shouldn't have included such cases, but the focus of Bermúdez chapter isn't to establish that; he simply assumes it.
This first part of our reply shows that Bermúdez's argument has no force against non-subject-referring action rationalizations. However, his argument also fails when its scope is restricted to subject-referring action rationalizations. Bermúdez's Premise 1 places a very strong necessity requirement on such action rationalizations. For a set S of propositional attitudes to reconstruct an agent's practical reasoning, it must be impossible for any agent to hold all of those attitudes and not perform the action. But as stated, this principle is clearly false. Suppose Alex wants a drink of water and believes there is water in the glass, and she then picks up the glass. Prima facie, we'd like to say that her desire and belief explain her action. But it's possible for Alex to be tied to the chair, or to be paralyzed, or to be given drugs that interfere with her practical reasoning. In any of these cases, she would not pick up the glass. These possibilities, however, do not prevent her desire and belief from rationalizing her actual (unimpaired) action.
Action rationalizations, like most explanations, are typically ceteris paribus. They take place against a background of normal conditions, and they don't bring about the explanandum when conditions are sufficiently abnormal. Bermúdez's Premise 1 disallows ceteris paribus explanations, because it requires that there be no possibility of having the explanans without getting the explanandum as well, no matter how abnormal the situation. Premise 1 should thus be rejected. Without Premise 1, Bermúdez's argument collapses, even if (contrary to our remarks above) Premise 2 is accepted.
Premise 1*: No action rationalization can correctly reconstruct an agent's practical reasoning if there are normal conditions in which some agent holds every propositional attitude in the set but does not perform the action.
Premise 3*: For any impersonal action rationalization, there are normal conditions in which an agent holds every propositional attitude in the set and nonetheless believes that she herself is not the person referred to in those attitudes.
But we see no reason to accept Premise 3*. Our grip on 'normal conditions' is through our understanding of the sorts of agents we are trying to explain, so to convince us that adding identity-confusion beliefs always preserves normality, you have to convince us that our explanatory practice isn't sometimes designed for non-identity-confused agents.
Modified Premise 2: Even if an agent holds every propositional attitude in an atortural action rationalization, she will not perform the action if she believes that global torture will result from performing it.
Modified Premise 3*: For any atortural action realization, there are normal conditions in which an agent holds every propositional attitude in the set and nonetheless believes that global torture will result from performing the action.
We then conclude that atortural explanations are always incomplete. Perhaps we've just discovered a new kind of essentiality. In addition to indexical essentiality, there's also torturous essentiality. No explanation of action without beliefs about torture. We would rather use modus tollens on that conditional, and conclude that neither kind of attitude is essential, because in both cases the relevant conditions are abnormal. But for those not convinced, we note that the new essentiality argument is very powerful. Take any belief B of Alex's. If Alex believed that if B and she lifts the glass, then everyone on earth will be tortured, then she will not perform the action. So for any B-free action rationalization, we can find a B-containing expansion of it that blocks realization of the action. If that expansion is normal, then the B-free rationalization will be incomplete.
Suppose, despite the preceding, someone does accept that there is an important kind of essential indexicality, and thus concludes that there must be some special kind of content expressed by 'I' (and other indexical) thoughts. There is then a real danger of going in for mystery mongering — for claiming that there's just a certain something about 'I' thoughts, but that nothing can be said about what that something amounts to. One of the great virtues of Bermúdez's book is that he is definitely not a mystery monger. The aspiration of the book is to give a clear statement of what the special self concept expressed by the word 'I' is.
Bermúdez begins by (in chapter 2) situating his project in the context of a broadly Fregean picture of senses as that which users of a language must grasp for understanding and then (in chapter 3) taking as a starting point for the sense of 'I' the kind of picture Evans gives in Varieties of Reference. However, a distinctive feature of Bermúdez's account of the self concept is his commitment (elaborated and defended in chapter 4) to what he calls the Symmetry Constraint, which requires that 'I' thoughts of one agent also be thinkable (perhaps as 'you' thoughts) by another agent. Combining the Symmetry Constraint with an essential role for 'I' thoughts in action then leads Bermúdez (in chapter 5) to distinguish between the type sense of 'I' — what language users must grasp in order to understand a sentence type involving the word 'I' without knowing the context in which that sentence was produced — and the token senses (different tokens of 'I' will typically have different senses) of 'I' — what language users must grasp in order to understand a particular utterance involving 'I'. It is the token sense that plays the essential role in action, on Bermúdez's view, so the crucial task is to give an account of the token sense that satisfies the Symmetry Constraint while still explaining action.
The account of the token sense of 'I' (in chapter 6) is thus the centerpiece of Bermúdez's positive account. From the broadly Evansian starting point, Bermúdez sets aside connections to private evidential routes as unsuitable for meeting the Symmetry Constraint, and singles out the specific notion of self-location as the key to the self concept(s). The selfA concept on Bermúdez's account is the ability to transition from locating A in egocentric space to locating A in non-egocentric (allocentric space). That ability can be possessed both by A and by other agents, via their ability to transition from locating A in their egocentric space to locating A in allocentric space.
"Locating an object in allocentric space," though, is not a digital on/off matter. To say that Bermúdez is in Texas is to locate him in allocentric space, but to say that he is in College Station is to locate him more thoroughly in allocentric space. In the limit, a full ability to locate an object in allocentric space presumably amounts to an ability to specify all "objective" features of that object, since any feature can be reconstrued (in familiar Lewisian manner) as a locational feature. But this means that the self concept (or grasp of the self concept) is an analog matter. A person can have a richer or a poorer self concept, and the degree of the self concept should fluctuate greatly with time and circumstances. This is a curious result ㅡ it entails that when you visit a strange city, and are less able to locate yourself on a map than usual, your ability to think first-personally about yourself weakens.
Bermúdez endorses this result, but it's hard to see how to fit it together with the thought that first-personal thought plays some essential role in action. Your ability to act doesn't diminish when you are in the strange city, so how can there be a special link between acting and a manner of thinking that does diminish? It's tempting then to think that the underlying problem is that the ability to act doesn't in fact depend on an ability to locate oneself in allocentric space. If you want to open the refrigerator, why would you need to know where on a map you are? Perhaps you need to know where you are relative to the refrigerator, and perhaps this in some weak sense is a matter of knowing where you are in allocentric space (in a spatial system "centered on the refrigerator," rather than centered on you). But even this isn't obvious. If you have causal powers over the refrigerator that don't run through your body, it's not clear why you would need to know where you are relative to the refrigerator to open the refrigerator. Even if your causal powers do run through your body, it looks like what you really need is to know where (for example) your hand is relative to the refrigerator, not where you are. It's then just a (robust) contingency that your hand is reliably located near where you are.
What's really going on here, we suggest, is this: if there's an action you want to perform that involves getting objects A and B into contact with one another, then generally it's helpful to know how A and B are spatially located relative to one another. (Generally, not always. You might, again, have causal powers that let you get A and B into contact with one another without knowing where either is.) One of the objects you often want to get into contact with other objects in acting is yourself (or your body). So it's often helpful, in acting, to know where you are relative to things around you. But there's nothing conceptually special about you in this picture. In particular, there's nothing that requires a special notion of "egocentric space". The locative requirements on you are no different from the locative requirements on other objects that are targets of action. But if what (for example) Bermúdez needs for (many) actions is the ability to locate Bermúdez, then we don't have an account of what makes Bermúdez's 'I' concept a distinctively first-personal concept, as opposed to a Bermúdez concept possessed by its target. So we aren't convinced that Bermúdez has succeeded in giving an account of a concept that satisfies the Symmetry Constraint, plays a distinctive role in the possibility of action, and is interestingly indexical in any sense.
The final chapter turns to the topic of immunity to error through misidentification (IEM). Because the Symmetry Constraint has led Bermúdez to drop (for example) distinctive connections to evidential routes such as proprioception from his account of the self concept, he can't derive IEM from the self concept in the way that others have done. Instead, Bermúdez wants to locate the source of IEM in the ascribed predicate, not in the self concept to which the predication is made. Thus 'to have the concept of toothache is to be disposed immediately to judge that one has toothache when one feels pain of the right kind in one's teeth' (2017: 131). The desired result is that when one judges that one has toothache on the basis of one's own pain, one cannot be wrong about who has the toothache, because it's part of the concept of toothache that pains lead to toothache judgments only about oneself.
This is a novel approach to IEM, but it's not clear how it can succeed. Merely being disposed to judge in a certain way can't, of course, in itself remove the epistemic possibility of being mistaken in judging in that way, and thus can't produce genuine immunity to error. What's really needed is that the concept of toothache be such that your pain can't be evidence for anyone else's toothache. But how can a concept guarantee that? It's possible to set up the evidential structure of the world such that your pain can be evidence of someone else's toothache (rewiring cases, in which your pain centers are connected to someone else's teeth, will easily do that job). We can stipulatively introduce the notion of a toothache*, which is the sort of thing for which your pain can't be evidence of in other people ㅡ but then we'll just discover that (as a matter of epistemic necessity) there are no toothaches*. We'll be immune to error through misidentification with respect to toothache* judgments, but only cheaply, by virtue of their definite non-existence.
Bermúdez's book didn't convince us that indexicals are essential or that the first-person perspective is philosophically significant. That said, the book is an ambitious, original, and instructive effort to defend the philosophical significance of the first-person perspective. The entire literature on this topic rests on a weak, shaky, or non-existing foundation. The way to make progress is to do what Bermúdez attempts: develop new foundations. If those keep crumbling (as we predict they will), the orthodoxy should be rejected, and that should have repercussions throughout philosophy.

Fully-Funded PhD Scholarship, "Fairness, Common Heritage and the International Seabed Authority"
March 12, 2015 March 12, 2015 sotonpolitics Departmental	environmental politics, fairness, heritage, international law, scholarships
The Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute (SMMI) at the University of Southampton has been awarded a major grant to host a new Leverhulme Trust Doctoral Scholarship programme, 'Understanding Maritime Futures: Opportunities, Challenges and Threats', which will support at least 15 PhD students.
This particular scholarship will investigate how, from the point of view of justice, any funds from the exploitation of seabed resources should be shared. Though in the first instance a project in normative political theory, it would suit an individual willing to pursue a project bridging political theory, philosophy and law, and to develop some familiarity with the geology of seabed resources. The successful applicant would be supervised by a team led by Professor Chris Armstrong, but spanning Politics and International Relations, Philosophy and Law, with additional assistance from an expert in marine geology.
The Doctoral programme as a whole encourages applicants willing to:
employ a transdisciplinary approach to tackle an important societal challenge
develop ideas which might inform national and international decision makers from government, business and civil society
challenge public understanding and/or capture the public imagination.
The studentship will cover tuition fees for UK/EU applicants and provide a maintenance grant at a rate comparable with other UK Research Council studentships. The funding associated with this project is only available for EU/UK students.
For informal advice, contact Professor Chris Armstrong, Politics and International Relations (ca@soton.ac.uk).
Candidates should apply using the standard online application form here: http://www.southampton.ac.uk/socsci/postgraduate/research_degrees/apply.page?
You must make clear in your application that you wish to be considered for the SMMI scholarship, supervised by Professor Chris Armstrong in Politics and International Relations. Applications must be received by 30th March 2015.
Candidates will be shortlisted based on academic excellence and aptitude for inter-disciplinary research. Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed, and will be asked to provide, in advance of interviews, a ~1500 word response to either of these questions:
"What key principles should be considered for the future use of seabed mineral resources in the deep ocean?"
"What policy developments are required to make the oceans and seas 'an enabling environment for development for the benefit of all' (United Nations Development Strategy Beyond 2015)?"

Student musician gets a chance to see the greats up close and personal
Andrew Throdahl, Class of 2009, studied piano with Music Department affiliate artist Diana Fanning, an internationally renowned musician. Throdahl has played the piano for more than a dozen years, and recently gave his senior recital in the Mahaney Center for the Arts Concert Hall. He has a special perspective on playing in Concert Hall, having worked as page-turner for many of the chamber musicians who visit as part of Middlebury's Performing Arts Series. He has been able to sit at the elbows of some of the greats—and had the best seat in the house to observe their technique. Throdahl is also a classical music reviewer for The Campus, the student newspaper. So while he's been earning a paycheck turning pages, he's also had an insider's eye for evaluating professional artists' work.
Added Diana Fanning, "Andrew started off his time at Middlebury by winning the College Concerto Competition and playing a Prokofiev Piano Concerto with the College Orchestra. He ended his time at Middlebury performing a Prokofiev Sonata, as well as works by Beethoven, Chopin, Bach and Scriabin, at his Senior Recital. In the meantime, he also won the Chamber Music Competition, studied music composition in Paris, had an internship with an early music ensemble in NYC, was Arts Editor for The Campus, wrote insightful music reviews for The Campus and for the Addison Independent, and played in a benefit concert to help raise money for the Town Hall Theater.

More security guards are to be trained and more high-tech facilities will be used in schools in China's southeastern Fujian Province to better protect students.
These measures are in response to last year's killing spree in Nanping city where a man stabbed eight primary school students to death and injured five others. "More than 500 guards were trained last year after the tragedy and we plan to train more this year," Liu Zhenzhong, deputy director of Xiamen Security Science and Technology College, was quoted as saying by Sunday's China Daily.
Liu said the guards were dispatched to schools in the province and were trained to handle attackers, and taught to operate security facilities such as surveillance cameras, automatic alarms and face- and fingerprint-recognition systems.
Chen You, a division chief with the Fujian provincial public security bureau overseeing school security equipment, said his bureau had asked all schools and kindergartens to get equipped with high-tech security facilities right after the Nanping tragedy.
"A recent confidential survey by our bureau and the Ministry of Public Security showed that almost all schools in Fujian are now equipped with necessary security facilities," he said.
"But in some rural areas, schools are yet to be covered and strangers can still walk in and out of campus freely. Some school guards are not even equipped with basic facilities such as electric batons," he said.

Der U-Bahnhof Saint-Placide ist eine unterirdische Station der Linie 4 der Pariser Métro.

Lage
Die Station befindet sich im Quartier Notre-Dame-des-Champs des 6. Arrondissements von Paris. Sie liegt längs unter der Rue de Rennes in Höhe deren Kreuzung mit der Rue de Vaugirard.

Name
Namengebend ist die dort in die Rue de Rennes mündende Rue Saint-Placide. Placidus von Subiaco (ca. 515–543) war einer der ersten benediktinischen Mönche, in der katholischen Kirche gilt er als Heiliger (fr: Saint) und Märtyrer.

Der ursprüngliche Name "Vaugirard" leitete sich von der Rue de Vaugirard her. Die mit 4,3 km längste Pariser Straße führte zum südwestlich vor der Stadt gelegenen Vorort Vaugirard, der 1860 nach Paris eingemeindet wurde.

Geschichte
Die Station wurde am 9. Januar 1910 unter dem Namen "Vaugirard" in Betrieb genommen, als der 3900 m lange Mittelabschnitt der Linie 4 von Raspail bis Châtelet eröffnet wurde. Mit dessen Inbetriebnahme wurden die bis dahin getrennten Süd- und Nordäste der Linie zu einer von Porte de Clignancourt im Norden bis Porte d'Orléans im Süden verlaufenden Linie verbunden.

Seit dem 15. November 1913 trägt die Station ihren heutigen Namen, da es zu Verwechslungen mit dem U-Bahnhof Vaugirard der von der konkurrierenden Gesellschaft Nord-Sud gebauten Linie A (seit 1930: Linie 12) kam.

Beschreibung
Unter einem elliptischen, weiß gefliesten Deckengewölbe mit gekrümmten Seitenwänden weist die Station Seitenbahnsteige an zwei parallelen Streckengleisen auf. Sie war ursprünglich 75 m lang, Mitte der 1960er Jahre wurde sie auf 90 m verlängert und für den Verkehr mit luftbereiften Zügen umgebaut.

Der einzige Zugang liegt an der Einmündung der Rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs, er ist durch einen Kandelaber des Typs "Val d'Osne" markiert. Schräg gegenüber, an der Einmündung der Rue du Regard, befindet sich ein zusätzlicher Ausgang mit einer Rolltreppe.

Nördlich der Station überquert der Tunnel der Linie 4 den der Linie 12. Da die beiden Strecken von verschiedenen Bahngesellschaften errichtet wurden, wurde an der Kreuzung der Rue de Rennes mit dem Boulevard Raspail kein Umsteigebahnhof angelegt.

Fahrzeuge
Auf der Linie 4 verkehrten bis 1928 5-Wagen-Züge aus zunächst drei zweimotorigen, später zwei viermotorigen Triebwagen und Beiwagen. Sie wurden durch Sprague-Thomson-Züge abgelöst, die in den Jahren 1966/67 sukzessive durch gummibereifte 6-Wagen-Züge der Baureihe MP 59 ersetzt wurden. Seit 2011 ist auf der Linie 4 die Baureihe MP 89 CC im Einsatz. Die Umstellung auf fahrerlose Züge der Baureihen MP 89 CA, MP 05 und MP 14 hat am 12. September 2022 begonnen und soll bis Ende 2023 abgeschlossen sein.

ACE JUNE RELL S. PEREZ
MATI CITY -- This is where I was born and raised.
I remember exactly how summers look like in Mati when I was still younger (early 2000s). The beaches are unsurprisingly our destinations whenever summer starts. Before, you can only find locals and maybe few tourists enjoying the Dahican Beach which are interestingly (but normal for us) with no entrance fees.
But it is a totally different picture now.
Gone are the days of the quiet, unspoiled Dahican Beach. Today, people from around the country and even foreigners flocked here especially summer season to experience this long stretch of white sand beach as it is, undeniably, a perfect summer spot for all the beach bums.
I personally think this is a welcome development as it boosts tourism receipts and makes Mati in the radar of tourism investors.
But beyond these surface-level developments, we should always look deeper and ensure that real progress is made.
In this series, the Manlalakbay will journey you to the rich landscape and seascape of Mati City and bring stories of developments and challenges that come with the rising popularity of the lone city in Davao Oriental.
Dahican: Surfing the waves of changes
Dahican Beach is gaining popularity it deserves. It was perfectly reflected in the Cebu Pacific-led crowdsourcing campaign wherein Mati was picked as one of the 10 preferred destinations the netizens think the airline should fly next.
The now-popular beach, aside from its clear blue waters, huge waves and white sand beach is famed because of surfing and skimboarding.
"Surfing and skimboarding really started tourism here," Gabby Sibala, owner of Dahican Surf Resort (DSR), who is a surfer himself for 13 years, shared.
Being one of the few first people to see Dahican's potentials, Sibala was first hesitant to open a resort in the area to keep it out from the eyes of the public and sustain its peaceful state.
But the thought of outsiders (who may eventually discover the area) developing Dahican rather than them, the locals, pushed him to open a resort and a surfing school – DSR and the Dahican Surf School.
"We surfers, we do not want too many surfers in one beach, we hate crowded area. But I thought that it would be better if we start the development here so we can set the regulation and push for sustainable tourism ourselves because we really want Dahican to maintain its rural vibe, we don't want it to be commercialized," he said.
The surf school, at present, has 13 accredited surf instructors who cater to both tourists and those who really intend to make it as their sports.
Jasper Jave Consigna, 18, who started surfing since he was seven has been earning because of teaching surfing.
Surfing lessons cost P400 per hour.
"Surfing is really a big part of my life. I enjoy helping those who are eager to learn it. Also, it is my way of living now," the young surfer said adding that the water sports taught him much discipline and environmental awareness.
The surf boys, like Jasper, are mostly out of school youth when they started.
"But now, we really encouraged them to go to real school or even Alternative Learning School (ALS). I am happy that right now some of them are in college, others finished ALS while the rest are still finishing it. Seeing them transformed to a responsible adult is enough to make me happy," Sibala said.
The resort owner shared that he dreamed for his boys to finish school and make their own surf school someday.
With the influx of tourists in Dahican, problems on solid waste management are inevitable.
Controlling this problem from becoming worse, the City Government of Mati launched last year the Solid Waste Integrated Management (Swim) program, an initiative implemented to call for a comprehensive waste prevention, recycling, composting, and disposal program to protect human health and the environment.
Mati City Mayor Carlo Rabat also plans to put up common water sewage system and water treatment facility to clean water wastes before going to the sea.
Also, investors are advised to follow height requirements for all its structures to keep the beach area's landscape.
"We put measures in place, while we want to go for urbanization, we also want to preserve our rural setting, to balance things out," the mayor said.
In keeping the beach clean even after parties like the annual Summerfrolic party, organizers shared that they are conducting clean up drive activities along the beach line after the party.
However, environmentalists still urged locals living in coastal areas and tourists to be responsible.
They underscored that though picking garbage is a good gesture, still, there is no better way to solve the problem but to discipline the source – humans.
"If we don't discipline ourselves, we may find ourselves picking our own garbage for 20 years and it is not good. Tourists and locals, we should be responsible, remember that it is our home. Keeping this clean by not throwing our trash away anywhere especially to the seas, is the least we can do," Dolores Valdesco, Davao Oriental provincial environmental planner, said.
On security and emergency response
Security is a paramount concern in tourism. The local government has taken this seriously to keep the confidence of the tourists.
"Aside from our security agencies, our people in the barangays are very active and vigilant, and whenever they see something suspicious they report it immediately. We also put in place five tourist police in the area," Rabat said.
To strengthen these measures, Rabat shared that they intend to establish a security and emergency center in Dahican, a one-stop hub for police patrols, ambulance, fire trucks and others to better cater to these areas where tourists commonly visit. This, Rabat said, is eyed to be realized within this year.
Mati is home to world-class tourism sites that could catapult the city to the global tourism map thus generating jobs to the community and development to the whole city. But as a local here, I dream that amid the developments and booming tourism activity, may its natural beauty be preserved and balanced and may it continue to be a home to its locals.
For the second part of this series, Manlalakbay will take you to a flight and see how Mati looks from above as we journey with the Mindanao Saga Flying Club and discuss in the air how are its operations since it opened and what are the plans that are about to land.

Muschamp left some holes
As he showed again Wednesday, Will Muschamp is a great recruiter when it comes to landing elite prospects. But recruiting isn't just about landing stars, it's also about filling needs. In that regard, Muschamp fell short in some areas in his four years at Florida. As a result, new coach Jim McElwain has some serious holes to fill, which he started doing on National Signing Day.
In what amounted to his exit news conference a day after he was fired, Muschamp boasted that he was leaving the new coach with a bunch of talented players. Well he is in some spots, but not in others.
This spring, McElwain will have only eight scholarship offensive linemen to work with and only six scholarship linebackers. That's not enough at either spot. Not even close.
The Gators are in this predicament at those positions because Muschamp failed to meet recruiting needs at both. In his first two years at UF (2011-12), he signed only two offensive linemen each year and a total of only 15 over four years. Ideally, coaches like to sign five offensive linemen in every recruiting cycle. Muschamp fell well short of that and now McElwain and his staff will have to cope with a lack of offensive linemen.
The Gators face a similar situation at linebacker thanks to Muschamp's failure to fill recruiting needs. Over four years, Muschamp signed only seven linebackers — none a year ago. He signed only one in 2011 and just two in 2012. With Antonio Morrison still recovering from a serious knee injury sustained in the bowl game, the Gators will have only five scholarship linebackers in the spring — Matt Rolin, Daniel McMillian, Jeremi Powell, Alex Anzalone and Jarrad Davis. Davis is the only one with significant playing experience on defense.
One area where Muschamp met or exceeded needs was in the secondary, where he coached the safeties (and took care of himself). During his four years at UF, Muschamp signed 18 defensive backs, compared to only 11 wide receivers and just six running backs.
On Wednesday, Muschamp, the new defensive coordinator at Auburn, drew national attention and praise for his ability to sign some elite players out of Florida that he'd developed relationships with while he was at UF. There's no doubt he hurt the Gators with his recruiting ability. It also can be said he did the same when he was still here. The evidence is on the current roster.

892: Cannot disable object (informix.mytableuk01) due to other active objects using it.
As the system was in single user mode at the time because I was doing some maintenance work, this seemed rather puzzling.
This command should have disabled all constraints on table mytable and also any referencing constraints. For some reason this did not work.
I began by looking at the output from dbschema and worked my way through but pretty soon I realised that there were an awful lot of dependencies on this table.
And there we have it! A function that will show all the dependencies and on which tables you need to disable constraints. It can cope with circular dependencies – that is what the temporary table is used for.

Japan to reduce quarantine period for international arrivals to 10 days
Japan said on Friday it would reduce the quarantine period for travelers arriving in the country from the current 14 to 10 days, effective Saturday.
The foreign ministry said citizens and residents of Japan severely affected by the Omicron version of the coronavirus, including all countries and territories around the world, would be eligible to enter the country under the new rules. New entries of foreign nationals are effectively banned due to the COVID-19 border restrictions.
"The period of time required to self-quarantine in places such as one's own residence or residence after entry into Japan, follow-up checks carried out by the Health Monitoring Center for migrant entrants and refrain from using public transport is from 14 days. Changed to 10 days," the Ministry of External Affairs said.
The period was at least three days, but it was extended to 14 days in late November as the government tightened border controls following the emergence of Omicron.
The move comes after the government reduced the quarantine period from 14 days to 10 for close contacts of COVID-19 patients.
According to the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, the incubation period for the Omicron variant is about three days, shorter than other variants, and 99% of symptomatic patients develop symptoms within 10 days of infection.
With the change in policy, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's administration is attempting to minimize social disruption and further strain the medical system.
Earlier on Friday, Health Minister Shigeyuki Goto said the government had informed local authorities to reduce the isolation period to at least six days at its discretion for essential workers such as police officers and child and nursing care workers. will be able to.

As far as doctors and nurses having close contact with people infected with the coronavirus, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has already informed the prefectural and local governments that they will continue to work if they test negative each day. Can continue
But the latest decisions could fuel public concern about the recent alarming rise in the number of infections in the country, which is experiencing a sixth wave of the pandemic.
Japan's daily coronavirus cases topped 20,000 on Friday for the first time since September 1, according to a tally based on reports from prefectural governments, taking just two days to reach the current level after crossing 10,000.
In Tokyo, 4,051 new cases were reported, taking the tally to more than 4,000 for the first time since late August. Osaka Prefecture marked 2,826 cases, while Okinawa Prefecture, which has been in a semi-emergency since last Sunday, reported 1,596 infections.
Osaka Gov. Hirofumi Yoshimura told reporters he was considering asking the central government to declare a quasi-state of emergency in the western prefecture if the occupancy rate of hospital beds for COVID-19 patients reaches 35%. As of Friday, the rate was 21.5%.
Semi-emergency measures include enabling governors to request that dining establishments cut business hours and stop serving alcohol.

The HTC One X9 has seen a lot of attention throughout the days and so far, the attention just keeps on coming. A person in China happened to get his or her hands on the particular HTC handset and decided to do a photoshoot with the HTC One X9.
From the photos, we can confirm a few already known features of the HTC One X9, such as its front-facing speakers, capacitive Android buttons and an overall metal built. As mentioned on a few early leaks, the right side features the SIM card slot, together with the volume rocker and the power button, while the 3.5mm jack is at the top and the USB port is at the bottom.
The HTC One X9 features a 5.5-inch 1080p display, a MediaTek 6795 SoC, 2 or 3GB of RAM with 16GB of internal storage. It also carries a 13MP rear shooter, with OIS and Ultrapixel front shooter, backed up by the 3000mAh battery.
What do you think of the HTC One X9's specs so far? Share us your thoughts on the comments section below.
I like this phone for its look and overall reviews has been above average. I am okay with no NFC and no fingerprint scanner. But the reason I haven't bought it yet is its average camera and poor low light performance. Am I right that this phone does not have great camera for flawless daily usage? I am getting it for a deal price of $325 in India. I never got to test this phone. Thanks.
Not sure with the camera as I havent get my hands on it. For that price I will go with other newer phones probably the Zenfone 3.

EAPL is an independent environmental consultancy specialising in the surveying, identification and analysis of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) and deliver impartial trusted advice and professional services to our clients both national and international.
Asbestos Prohibition in Offshore & Maritime Structures
There is a common misapprehension that a worldwide ban of asbestos exists and that modern marine vessels and offshore facilitates are "Asbestos Free" workplaces. In fact, asbestos use and installation of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) within Offshore & Maritime structures is still widespread throughout the world.
Offshore & Maritime structures operating in or visiting Australian Territorial Waters must not import asbestos as part of their fabric and function as safe workplaces under existing Australian Work, Health and Safety legislation. The Australian maritime industry (the "Seacare jurisdiction") is regulated by specific legislation, which proscribes the importation and use of asbestos.
These reflect the national ban on the use of all forms of asbestos on and from 31 December 2003 and place specific duties upon owners, operators, charterers and manning agents of Offshore & Maritime structures operating in or visiting Australian Territorial Waters.
Meeting obligations under WHS & OHS Law and Customs Regulations
There are two pertinent Regulations on the proscription of the importation and use of asbestos, which makes it illegal to import, store, supply, sell, install or otherwise use (except in limited circumstances) any Asbestos Containing Materials in workplaces in the Seacare jurisdiction. These Regulations are:
Importation of asbestos regulated by:
Regulation 4C to the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956 (the Regulations)
Use of asbestos regulated by:
Occupational Health and Safety (Maritime Industry) (National Standards) Regulations 2003 (the Regulations), which commenced on 31 December 2003, made under the Occupational Health and Safety (Maritime Industry) Act 1993 (OHS(MI) Act)
Two statutory bodies are mandated to ensure that owners, operators, charterers and manning agents meet their obligations under the Regulations when bringing Offshore & Maritime structures into Australian Territorial Waters:
Importation of asbestos is enforced by:
Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) and its operational and enforcement arm the Australian Border Force (ABF)
Use of asbestos is enforced by:
Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) and its enforcement arm the Seacare Authority
The Australian Border Force concerns itself with preventing the importation of asbestos while the Seacare Authority deals with the occupational health and safety prohibition on the use of asbestos in the Australian Maritime Industry ("Seacare jurisdiction").
What is a Compliant Marine Vessel Asbestos Register?
The Australian Border Force refuses entry of Offshore & Maritime structures into Australian ports, or quarantines them when they arrive, if not satisfied that compliance with Regulation 4C of Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956 has been carried out.
The ABF requires evidence that no Asbestos Containing Materials have been used in the construction (or installation during refurbishment or refit) of Offshore & Maritime structures operating or visiting Australian Territorial Waters.
The ABF do not regard an "Asbestos Free" Certificate (commonly issued as part of a vessel's build and registration documents) as sufficient and insist upon an inspection report carried out by competent persons whose results, observations and conclusions are traceable to relevant International Standards (ISO). These standards are:
ISO 17020 (Inspection)
ISO 17025 (Testing)
In Australia, the accreditation authority for International Standards (ISO) is NATA.
A NATA endorsed inspection report provides the ABF with a high level of confidence that an Offshore & Maritime structure complies with the Amended Customs (Prohibited Import) Regulations 1956, Regulation 4c.

Although Kevin Hart is not hosting the 2019 Academy Awards, it turns out he was already lining up material before he backed out of the gig.
As of now, this year's Academy Awards are still without a host, which could be how the evening plays out. It's not without precedent and tends to lead to an understandably slimmer broadcast.
In December, the 39-year-old comedian accepted hosting duties, but after several homophobic jokes resurfaced leading to widespread criticism, he decided to step down.
"I'm sorry that I hurt people," he tweeted at the time. "I am evolving and want to continue to do so. My goal is to bring people together not tear us apart. Much love & appreciation to the Academy. I hope we can meet again."

Q: Best way to check if Python program is connected to the Internet? I am using python-requests and noticed that it returns unrelated errors after failing to fetch a web page when not connected to the Internet.
The documentation mentions Exceptions, but not how to use them. How should the program verify that it is indeed connected, and fail nicely if not?
I currently have no error-handling system in place, and this is what I get:
File "mem.py", line 78, in <module>
    login()
  File "mem.py", line 38, in login
    csrf = s.cookies['csrftoken']
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/cookies.py", line 276, in __getitem__
    return self._find_no_duplicates(name)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/cookies.py", line 331, in _find_no_duplicates
    raise KeyError('name=%r, domain=%r, path=%r' % (name, domain, path))
KeyError: "name='csrftoken', domain=None, path=None"

A: It appears that HTTP errors are not raised by default in python-requests. This answer sums it up nicely: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24460981/908703
import requests

def connected_to_internet(url='http://www.google.com/', timeout=5):
    try:
        _ = requests.get(url, timeout=timeout)
        return True
    except requests.ConnectionError:
        print("No internet connection available.")
    return False


During a recent Qigong Medical treatment, a young man came to see me about his desire to heal a large cyst naturally and avoid surgery. He is trying several different healing modalities and wanted to explore Qigong as another option to help in his path to healing.
A cyst refers to an abnormal sac or pocket in the body, and in this case, it was filled with fluid. It was also about the size of a rather large grapefruit. It is nonmalignant, but can be painful because of the pressure it places on other organs in the body.
I had been prompted and guided about what Qigong treatments could help him before he arrived. This included two treatment courses; a daily microcosmic orbit meditations of infusing his body with energy and directing it through certain ports along his Conception and Governing vessel which could then nourish his organs.The other part would be to remap a healing path from the healthy layer of his energetic body through each layer of the energy body, layer by layer by layer, and "reprogram" it to become cyst free.
So during his treatment, we did the microcosmic orbit meditation together so he could learn the process and start training him mind to focus and direct energy.The next step was to find the layer in his body where the problem originated and begin the repair process, layer by layer.
So during the Qigong medical treatment, I went into his energetic space and found the layer or his energetic body that was intact. For him, it was in the 5th layer of his energetic body, which tells me this had been a problem for a long time. I then took what I can only describe as the "corrected code" and then went to the layer where the cyst seemed to have begun.
I then visualized placing the correct "code" into the hole and watched it become woven into a strong mesh that could prevent any further leaks. Next, I then went to the next layer of his energetic body and once again saw a gapping hole. This hole was a bit bigger that the first layer. I once again brought the "corrected code" from the original wall, placed it into the gap, and again, the code generated a new mesh, closing that hole and strengthening it. I then observed the small cyst in this layer starting to fade & disappear.
Each layer had a larger hole and a bigger cyst, so each layer required a bigger mesh. I observed how each cyst became deflated and then seeped fluid out of its sack, was absorbed quickly and easily by the body, and then the cyst completely disappeared when the hole got plugged.
By the end of this Qigong treatment, I could see we had created a new pathway so these different layers now had a way to go from layer to layer and rewrite the outcome so it could become cyst free.The process was something he could repeat in his daily meditations. This would help reinforce the healing process laid out for his body in the Qigong treatment.
I also asked him to do these visual healing meditations daily, and to to conclude the meditation with visualizing his body being free of the cyst, feeling vibrant, strong, and healthy. Then, he was to take some deep breaths and allow that feeling of wellness to resonate throughout his entire body. He was also to pause for a moment and reflect on a time when he felt deeply loved, and then to take that feeling and send it throughout his entire being so he can feel like he is being bathed in the energy of love.
This was my recommended Qigong healing treatment for this young man who wanted to add Qigong to his other treatment modalities to heal his cyst. This treatment was specific for his type of energy body and his type of cyst.

New York's Pollinators Need YOU! Call on the Legislature to Pass the Birds & Bees Protection Act.
Send my email
Almost a third of the food we eat every day relies on pollinators, mostly bees, but also birds, butterflies, bats, beetles, moths, and flies. Bees and other pollinators are vital to stable and plentiful food supplies, a healthy environment, and a strong economy.
But populations of New York State honeybees and other pollinators are crashing at an alarming rate. That's why we need the Birds & Bees Protection Act.
This New York State bill creates a five-year moratorium on neonicotinoids--pesticides known to kill pollinators. We need the Assembly and the Senate to pass the bill now--before it's too late.
Pass the Birds and Bees Protection Act!
New Yorkers rely on bees and other pollinators to support the food we eat: berries (breakfast!), pumpkins (Halloween!), apples (pie!), cabbage, almonds, grapes (wine!), honey and more. New York State estimates that $1.2 BILLION of our crops are pollinator-dependent!
You can make a real difference for BEES by signing this petition. Your simple action will encourage New York State's Legislature and Governor's office to PASS the BIRDS AND THE BEES PROTECTION ACT.
Compose your email
Pass the Birds & Bees Protection Act
New York's pollinators--the creatures responsible for bringing us 1 out of every 3 bites of food--are in desperate trouble, and a big part of the problem is a type of pesticides, called neonicotinoids, that New York allows to be used in our state. But legislators can help by passing S.5816/A.7639, the Birds and Bees Protection Act. We need bees for a healthy economy, healthy ecosystem and healthy communities. $1.2 billion of New York's agricultural products depend on bees and other pollinators. Please pass The Birds & Bees Protection Act and this session. The bill will halt the use of neonicotinoids for five years so that the Department of Environmental Conservation can study them more carefully to determine how to best protect our pollinators and agricultural economy. Thank You!

We want to be a company that puts people first. Indeed, Dexra has always paid close attention to the rising cost of living and factored this into employee wages, which is why we are incredibly proud to be a Living Wage employer. Unlike the Government's national living wage, which still means minimum pay and minimum quality of life, the living wage proposed by the Living Wage Foundation actually ensures a better life for employees.
We've always paid our employees a salary well in excess of the Government's new 'national living wage' of £7.20 an hour, which comes into effect today. We're also strongly committed to the Living Wage Foundation's call for employers to pay staff at least £8.25 an hour (£9.40 in London). This voluntary hourly rate for employers was created to benefit businesses and their staff, improving workers' quality of life, employee retention and customer service.
The fact is, employers have a duty of care to their employees, and should be doing everything within their power to ensure they have a comfortable and happy life, without the stress of poverty. After all, many of us spend a huge proportion of our lives at or thinking about work.

Q: Why is asigning a dynamic to a non-nullable not an error with sound null safety In dart with sound null safety turned on it is entirely possible to do
dynamic myVar; // myVar assumes default value of null
String someString = myVar; // No warning by IDE.

As expected the above results in a run-time error since myVar is null and someString is non-nullable.
Is this a problem with the linter/IDE?
I did discover that I can enable pedantic linting that causes the IDE to show a warning when I try to implicitly cast dynamic to another type.  Turning that on helps but I think the problem is that dynamic can be null without having to be explicitly defined as nullable.
In short we don't have
dynamic? myNullableVar;

My questions is:  Is this a bug?
This "issue" bites you most commonly when you do something like
Map<String, dynamic> myData = jsonDecode(receivedResponseBody);
var name = myData['name'];

In the above example I expect the IDE to show a warning that I am trying to assign a potentially null value to a non-nullable variable.  The IDE should require the user to add a null check.
If this is not a bug (in the IDE or in the linter), then why not?
Long story short:  The implicit cast from dynamic to another type masks the issue with null assignments, and I expect the IDE to provide a warning.

EDIT:  after note from @ jamesdlin below
Specifically I am OK with the following where the Left-hand side of the assignment allows null values.
dynamic someVar;
String? myString = someVar;

Side note, I was hoping that the new dart typeDef feature would allow my to build something similar to Union type hints in Python.  That would allow me to then get something like
typeDev JsonValueType = { int, String, float, bool };

And the result from jsonDecode would then be
Map<String, JsonValueType?>
Which explicitly includes Null and therefore the IDE would warn the user to add a null check.
My opinion:  As long as you can assign any nullable type on the right of an assignment operator to a non-nullable type on the left, you don't have true sound null safety.

A: It's not a bug.
You can do:
dynamic x = "not an int";
int y = x;

and not get any compiler warnings. That's just how dynamic works, it turns off compiler ("static") type-checks and relies on run-time ("dynamic") checks instead. That's where the name comes from.
There is no reason to allow dynamic? because dynamic already allows the null value (and any other value). The dynamic type is inherently nullable, adding ? to it makes no difference, just as Null? is meaningless.
The Dart type system is statically null sound (mostly, the usual caveats around generics apply), but dynamic is a way to turn that type system off on request. Don't use dynamic unless you want that effect.
