The origins of beer are lost in the nights of time, between stories and legends. Those from ancient Egypt attribute its origin to a whim of Osiris.
Numerous anthropologists assure us that a thousand years ago, primitive man elaborated a drink based on cereal roots and wild fruits that were chewed beforehand in order to unlock their alcoholic fermentation. The resulting liquid was consumed with pleasure for relaxation. The oldest mention of beer, "a drink obtained from the fermentation of grains called siraku", is found on clay tablets written in the Sumerian language, dated to approximately 4,000 years BC. A household recipe for making beer is revealed on the tablets: bread is baked and broken into crumbs; a mixture is prepared with water to obtain a drink that transforms people into "joyful, extroverted and happy".
From the Middle East, beer extends along the oriental Mediterranean basin. The Egyptians collected Sumerian recipes and made a beer they named "zythum", they discovered malt and added saffron, honey, ginger and cumin aiming to provide aroma and colour. While the Romans and Greeks considered it a drink of ordinary people, the peoples of northern Europe celebrated with beer at family events, religious solemnities and triumphs over their enemies.
In the Middle Ages, the "cerevisa monacorum" was born, high quality beer made by monks, whose secret was jealously guarded by each friar-chemist. The monks managed to improve the aspect, flavour and aroma of the drink.
Between the 14th and 16th Centuries, the first large beer breweries arose; those of Hamburg and Zirtau were among the most distinguished. At the end of the 15th Century, the Duke William IV of Bavaria passed the first law of German beer purity that ordered that barley malt, water, hops and yeast be used exclusively for its fabrication.
The authentic golden age of beer began at the end of the 18th Century with the incorporation of steam machinery into the brewing industry and the discovery of the new cold production formula, and peaked in the last third of the 19th Century, with the Pasteur's findings of relevance to the fermentation process.

Polygamy leader Samuel Bateman had 20 wives, many of them minors, and punished disobedient followers, the FBI said.
The leader of a small polygamous group near the Arizona-Utah border took at least 20 wives, most of them minors, and punished followers who did not treat him as a prophet. That's what the newly filed federal court documents show.
Samuel Bateman He was a former member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS), until he left to start his own small splinter group. He was financially supported by male supporters who had given up their children.

Documents filed Friday offer new insights into what investigators found in the case, which was first made public in August. , was involved in charges of obstruction of abduction and foreseeable prosecution against Moretta Rose Johnson.
Bistline and Barlow are scheduled to appear in federal magistrates court in Flagstaff on Wednesday. Johnson is awaiting extradition from Washington state.
The women are accused of fleeing with eight of Bateman's children, who were placed in Arizona custody earlier this year. The children were found last week in Spokane, Washington, hundreds of miles away.
Bateman was arrested in August when he found a tiny finger in a gap in a trailer he was driving through Flagstaff. He posted bail, but was arrested again and charged with obstruction of justice in a federal investigation into whether the children were being transported across state lines for sex.
Bateman, 46, has been implicated in child sex trafficking and polygamy, according to court records, but none of his current charges are related to those allegations. Polygamy is illegal in Arizona, but he was decriminalized in Utah in 2020.
Darren Dalonco, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Child Services, and Kevin Smith, a spokesman for the FBI, declined to comment on the case on Tuesday. Attorneys declined to comment. Johnson did not have a listed attorney.
The FBI affidavits filed in the women's cases focus primarily on Bateman, who declared himself a prophet in 2019. Former FLDS leader Warren Jeffs To evoke "the Spirit of God upon these people." The affidavit details the sexually explicit acts that Bateman and his supporters committed in fulfilling their "devout duty."
Jeffs is serving a life sentence in a Texas prison for child molestation charges related to underage marriage.
Criminal defense attorney Michael Piccarreta, who represented Jeffs in the dismissed Arizona charges, said Arizona has a policy of banning polygamy by prosecuting relatively minor crimes and filing larger lawsuits. He said he had a history of trying to stand up.
"Time will tell if this is the same tactic used in the past or if there is more to the story," he said.

The office of Adam Zickerman, Bateman's attorney in the federal lawsuit, declined comment on Tuesday.
Bateman lived in the city of Colorado among a patchwork of devout members of the polygamous FLDS, former church members, and non-practisers of the faith. Polygamy is a legacy of the early teachings of Jesus of Latter-day Saints and his Church of Christ, but the mainstream church abandoned the practice in his 1890 and now strictly prohibits it.
Bateman often traveled to Nebraska, where some of his followers lived, and internationally to Canada and Mexico for conferences.
When Bateman was arrested earlier this year, he instructed his supporters to obtain passports and delete messages sent via an encrypted system, officials said.
"Bateman did so to obstruct, influence and obstruct investigations and prosecutions in federal court." federal prosecutor said when it announced the indictment in September.
According to FBI affidavits, he demanded his followers make public confessions of indiscretion and shared those confessions widely. He claimed that punishment, down to shame and sexual intercourse, came from the Lord.
According to the Justice Department, Bateman was charged with destroying records or attempting to destroy records in official proceedings. falsify or attempt to falsify any official procedure; Destruction of Records in Federal Investigations.
The children, identified by their initials in court documents, said little to authorities.The police report said three children were found in the trailer Bateman was driving through Flagstaff in time. There was a toilet, a sofa, a camping chair, and no ventilation.
According to FBI affidavits, the girls placed in state custody in Arizona did not disclose sexual abuse by Bateman during forensic interviews. often wrote to Among them, some of the girls mentioned intimate interactions with Bateman.According to the FBI, authorities have influenced older girls not to talk to younger girls about Bateman. thinking.

'Sherlock' S4 set to begin filming Spring 2016
On: May 11, 2015, By: Bill Young
With the news that filming on the fourth series of Sherlock will not begin until Spring 2016, you may just need to renew that membership in the Sherlock Separation Anxiety Society for just a bit longer. Speaking backstage after picking up the BAFTA Radio Times Audience Award at last nights ceremony in London, series co-creator/writer Steven Moffat confirmed that they are getting the Sherlock band back together to begin work on the 4th series of what is, arguably, the best bit of telly on telly.
Fortunately, the one-off special that will see Sherlock & Co. head back in time to the Victorian era will hit the small screen, hopefully, this Christmas. For a brief moment, there was a thought that series 4 would follow soon after with new episodes beginning in Spring 2016. Then, reality set in as it now looks like the schedules of Moffat, co-creator/writer, Mark Gatiss, and series stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, Amanda Abbington and others will not align to even begin filming until Spril 2016.
According to Moffat, the wait will be worth it saying that the series will represent "…an emotional upheaval", and leave fans desperate for series 5. "Season four is going to be… I suppose you'd say… consequences. It's consequences. Chickens come to roost. It's dark in some ways – obviously it's great fun and a Sherlock Holmes romp and all that – but there's a sense of things coming back to bite you."
I'm ready. You?

The school said no one had been bitten by the spiders, but local health authorities have advised it to close for the day to deal with the infestation. One mother, whose son attends Dean Academy, said she thought authorities had overreacted, creating unnecessary panic.
"The stories have been sort of quite hysteria, mass panic. By the time the children had come out yesterday, students had had their legs bitten off, one had a hole in their hand. It's not good at all," said Samantha Golding.
She said her son had been actively looking to find a false widow spider, but with no success. Even so, false widow spiders were filmed at Dean Academy on Wednesday by UK broadcaster Sky News. Experts say the Steodata nobilis, a species of the false widow, are becoming more common in the UK and are the most dangerous of the 12 species of biting spiders known in Britain.
The Dean Academy, a secondary school in southwest England's Gloucestershire, closed Wednesday to get rid of the false widow spiders. The spiders are commonly mistaken for their relative, the black widow spider, whose bite can be fatal.
Spider bites are rare in Britain, and in most cases the symptoms are mild. The spider's bite may sting, swell up or cause discomfort like a wasp sting, but has not been known to cause deaths.
"They're not aggressive spiders, they don't seek out humans," said David Lalloo, a professor at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
"Most people won't get much of a reaction. Some people may feel a bit unwell for a day or two, but that's very rare," he said.


Round 1 of the inaugural National Rugby League season in 1998 could kick off no other way. Surely, there was no better clash to open the first round than a battle between the respective champions from the previous year – Super League titleholders the Brisbane Broncos against ARL grand final winners Newcastle.
Apparently, someone in charge thought differently, for the Knights opened up their campaign against the North Sydney Bears, while the Broncos took on fellow competition heavyweights the Manly Sea Eagles.
In fact, the much-anticipated 'clash of the champions' didn't take place until Round 8, with Brisbane winning comfortably to the tune of 26-6.
Although this little tidbit is undoubtedly forgotten by a large portion of rugby league pundits, and indeed seems rather uninteresting on paper, it is indeed far more symbolic than it may first appear.
Here were two heavyweights of the competition, defending champions in fact, both established in the same year – 1988 – who seemed to have the stage set for a mouth-watering battle, only to have the rug swept out from underneath them, and their encounter relegated to a platform, or time of the season, not exactly fitting of its blockbuster status.
And so tells the story of the Brisbane Broncos versus Newcastle Knights feud of the late 90s and early 2000s.
In most cases, rugby league has a funny way of giving fans just what they want, and creating a promotional dream for the NRL. Take, for example, the 2004 NRL grand final.
In 2002, the Bulldogs were stripped of 37 Premiership points and taken out of the finals race after having won a club record 17 consecutive games en route to a certain minor premiership.
That same year, the Roosters ended up winning the grand final. Cue taunts of 'fake champions' from outraged Bulldogs fans. Over the course of the next two years, the two clubs would engage in some of the most intense encounters of the season, both on the field and in the grandstands.
So when both teams met in the 2004 decider, it was already shaping to be one of the most memorable grand finals in history before a ball was even kicked.
There are countless other examples of adversarial heavyweights who defined their rivalries on the game's greatest stage; but the one grand final which the game deserved perhaps more than any other at the time – the Newcastle Knights versus Brisbane Broncos – never happened.
The fact that both teams won competitions in the same year – ten years after each team entered the comp – was merely the spark which ignited the flame of their rivalry, as both teams established themselves as powerhouses of the competition whose successes seemed to parallel each other. Yet somehow, for all their dominance during this period, their respective courses never collided on the biggest stage.
In the aforementioned 1998 season, the Brisbane Broncos maintained their dominance from the previous year as they finished the season as minor premiers. Following closely behind, and only then on for and against, was – you guessed it – the Newcastle Knights.
While many thought that the season finale would indeed be a meeting of the previous season's champions, such a clash never eventuated as the Knights were bundled out of the Finals following consecutive defeats to the Roosters and Bulldogs.
Brisbane, meanwhile, galloped their way to the grand final, where they defeated the 'Dogs 38-12 to capture their fourth Premiership.
While many gave the Bulldogs plaudits for their courage in making it to the grand final considering they had entered the ten-team finals series in ninth place, by all rights that spot should have gone to Newcastle had they not squandered their own opportunities.
It wasn't the closest we would come to a Brisbane-Newcastle grand final, however.
By 2000, both Newcastle and Brisbane could lay claim to fielding outfits which had arguably the best players in the world in their respective positions. At the top of the heap was Andrew Johns and Darren Lockyer, two legendary players who defined a generation in rugby league and were at the peak of their powers at the turn of the century.
Throughout the season, it seemed only inevitable that both teams would ultimately meet in the decider as they – along with the Sydney Roosters – proved themselves as the dominant sides in the competition, no surprises given the talent included in both teams.
In retrospect, this season would also be the closest both sides would come to meeting in a grand final. In the first preliminary final, Brisbane earned their way to the grand final following a gutsy 16-10 defeat of Parramatta.
In their preliminary final match against the Roosters only a day later, the Knights seemed home as they walked into the sheds at halftime with a 16-2 lead. Astonishingly, the tricolours emerged victorious following a courageous comeback.
The following season was the same story, only in reverse. After winning the 2000 Premiership, Brisbane once again found themselves in the preliminary finals alongside Newcastle. However, this time it would be the Broncos who were eliminated while the Knights qualified for the grand final, and ultimately won the Premiership.
By 2002, the rivalry had developed into something of a mini 'State of Origin', with both clubs fielding multiple representatives for their respective states. In fact, the mid-season test between Australia and Great Britain saw nine players take the field for the Kangaroos who played for either the Knights or Broncos.
Yet for all their success in the representative arena, neither side was able to convert it to results at club level.
Although it seems a relatively trivial subject matter on which to write an article, the fact we never had a Newcastle versus Brisbane grand final during this period represents more than just poor timing or missed opportunities, but also the effect success and overwhelming pressure can have on a club.

Obama, Romney halt campaigning in wake of deadly Colorado shooting rampage | iNFOnews | Thompson-Okanagan's News Source
Obama, Romney halt campaigning in wake of deadly Colorado shooting rampage
Lee-Anne Goodman
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama halted campaigning on Friday in the wake of yet another American mass shooting, this one in a Colorado movie theatre, saying it was no time for politics as he made a sombre return to the U.S. capital.
"This morning we woke up to news of a tragedy that reminds us of all the ways we are united as one American family," Obama said in brief remarks in Fort Myers, Fla., where he'd been scheduled to make a campaign speech aimed at rallying supporters.
He cut short the visit to a key battleground state and instead flew back to Washington, D.C.
"There are going to be other days for politics. This, I think, is a day for prayer and reflection," he said.
At least 12 people died overnight, and as many as 50 were injured, when a gunman opened fire in a movie theatre in suburban Denver at a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises."
One of the victims, Jessica Ghawi, was an American hockey writer who survived Toronto's recent Eaton Centre shooting.
Obama also vowed that the perpetrator of the "heinous act" would be brought to justice. Authorities have arrested a lone gunman identified as James Holmes, 24, a neuroscience PhD student, in the shootings.
"Such violence, such evil is senseless. It's beyond reason," the president said.
Mitt Romney, Obama's Republican rival for the White House, released a statement saying that he and his wife, Ann, were "deeply saddened by the news of the senseless violence."
In an appearance in New Hampshire, he added: "Our hearts break with the sadness of this unspeakable tragedy."
Both men suspended campaigning and also stopped airing negative ads in the state of Colorado.
The bloodshed in a Denver suburb is just the latest mass shooting to play out in the United States, a nation that increasingly reveres its guns no matter how many times such incidents occur.
Even the near-fatal shooting of one-time Democratic congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in a similar incident in January 2011 has failed to result in tougher gun control laws in the U.S.
Indeed, Gallup polls suggest Americans have grown more resistant to tougher gun-control laws over the past two decades. Many states have loosened their gun laws, allowing citizens to carry loaded firearms in public as the National Rifle Association continues to wield major clout on Capitol Hill.
In Colorado, in fact, people are allowed to have handguns in their cars, businesses and homes.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a longtime gun control advocate, assailed both Obama and Romney in a sharp rebuke on Friday morning.
"You know, soothing words are nice, but maybe it's time that the two people who want to be president of the United States stand up and tell us what they are going to do about it, because this is obviously a problem across the country," Bloomberg said in an interview with a New York radio station.
"There are so many murders with guns every day — it's just got to stop.
"And instead of the two people — President Obama and Gov. Romney — talking in broad things about they want to make the world a better place. OK, tell us how.... No matter where you stand on the Second Amendment, no matter where you stand on guns, we have a right to hear from both of them concretely, not just in generalities. Specifically, what are they going to do about guns?"
Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, told reporters earlier Friday that Obama is well aware of the need to balance upholding the Second Amendment — which enshrines the right to bear arms in the U.S. Constitution — with shielding citizens.
"The president believes we need to take common-sense measures that protect the Second Amendment rights of Americans while ensuring that those who should not have guns under existing laws do not get them," Carney said.
Those opposed to gun control, meantime, fume any time it's brought up in the aftermath of a mass shooting. Friday was no exception.
"If you use the Aurora tragedy to promote gun control, you are despicable," read a typical headline Friday on RedState.com, a conservative website.
As always, the emotionally charged and seamy underside of American politics revealed itself on Friday, with the Drudge Report posting an item suggesting Holmes was a registered Democrat while an ABC reporter suggested he was a Tea Party adherent.
The network later apologized for the suggestion.

New super mall: shop till you drop

North Shore next in line for super mall as local demand grows despite online buying.
Concept plans have emerged for a mega-mall at Takapuna's Shore City, topped by 360 apartments in 18-storey and 30-storey glass towers with plants cascading off the sides.
After this week's news of Auckland's 2.7ha $160 million NorthWest mall opening in Massey on October 1, prospective plans for the Shore site show 9.6ha of floorspace, equivalent to about 12 rugby fields - although much of that is the apartments.
As well as the North Shore and west Auckland developments, Tiffany and Chanel are coming to Britomart in central Auckland and Precinct Properties will soon knock down and upsize the CBD's Downtown mall.
Across the city, retail centres are being bought, sold, built and expanded in a surge of deals worth $1 billion-plus.
Experts say local malls are expanding on the back of growing demand for shopping, despite global fears that the rise of online retailing would kill them off.
In Britain one in five shops is predicted to close and one US shopping centre owner predicted traditional malls would soon be extinct - but the opposite seems to be occurring here.
"People want to go and participate in society," said Campbell Barbour, chairman of the Council of Shopping Centres and general manager of retail developer NZ Retail Property Group, which owns the land where NorthWest is rising.
"Retail has gone way beyond just wanting to buy, but it's also to do with food, hospitality and entertainment," he said.
"People like people and while I find the internet is an excellent place to become informed, aware and be product-aware, the joy of purchasing and being assisted personally is worthwhile and people enjoy it. People go to shopping centres to recreate, to people-watch, mix and mingle."
University of Auckland Associate Professor in clinical psychology Ian Lambie said malls were appealing to people who led busy lives because they were easy and accessible.

The Big Read: Mega shopping malls get a roll on
"It's a very easy and convenient way of shopping and people like things to be easy and accessible," he said.
"Why not shop in a mall where everything is there."

He said malls were time and energy efficient - it meant people didn't need to drive from shop to shop in their cars. In the winter they were warm and dry, and people were often enticed by free giveaways.
The bustling nature of malls was also part of the appeal, he said.
Tenders for Shore City close on September 15. The concept plans, the source of these images, indicate what a new buyer could do with one of Auckland's smallest malls at only 1.3ha. The area has been identified by Auckland Council as a metropolitan centre with big growth potential due to its transport links, amenities and infrastructure.
Auckland councillor Chris Darby welcomed the conceptual plans.
"That particular block has for a very long time had an unlimited height restriction. It's very encouraging. There's a lot of latent potential in Takapuna which has been waiting for a significant land holder to unleash that. It's this sort of unleashing that a lot of other developers are watching out for too," Mr Darby said.
The plans show vertical wood fins cladding a new multi-level podium, a three-level mall concourse lined with natural daylight from above and vast outdoor dining areas on a first-floor deck overlooking the Rose Garden at the Anzac Ave/Lake Rd intersection.
An outdoor podium-top deck is shown on about level six, below the apartment towers, near the luxury Sentinel apartment complex.
A new supermarket, further extensive carparking and many new food and beverage outlets are shown in the plans.
Owner Aviva Investors' Asia Pacific has sold the fund that owns the Takapuna property to one of the world's biggest fund managers, JP Morgan Asset Management, sparking the sale of Shore City.
Architecture firm Architectus presented a master plan for the property, which identifies Takapuna as a metropolitan centre, "second only to Auckland".

A CONCEPTION OF, AND EXPERIMENTS WITH "HETEROTOPIA" AS A CONDITION OF STABLE, UNPURPOSIVE, EVERYDAY MOVEMENT
Svetlana Bankovskaya. Humanities. HUM. Basic Research Programme, 2014. No. 70.
The paper is based on the outcomes and inferences from the experiment with urban heterotopia found on the Manezhnaya square in Moscow. The main point of the experimental design (ethnomethodological in its intent) is to explore in vivo the heterotopical properties of the urban environment as the condition of this environment's creativity and its interaction with the mobile actors. Creativity of the urban environment was interpreted as a particular kind of spatial order accumulating in counterfinal effects of collective behavior in the unique constellation --"heterotopia". The flâneur was chosen as the most appropriate actor displaying the properties of an object and that of a receptive mobile interactant. The object of the experiment was the fragment of the metropolitan environment which combines the logic of the urban social organization (embodied in its concrete place) and the paralogy of the counterfinality of the mobilities inside this particular environment.Two modes of interaction were provoked in the experiment: first, intended, but unpurposive action observed by the passage through the ambiances of the specific fragment of the city by the flâneur, and focusing on his affective states during these actions (the affective profile of the place thus was achieved); and second, observing and mapping the flâneur's movements as a purposive interaction with the same fragment of the environment, but in the form of dérive (observation of the movement by the means of movement). The end of the observation in movement was to focus on the flâneur's movements and to depict his route through the observable details of the spatial/social order of the environment.
A CR twistor space of a G2-manifold
Verbitsky M. arxiv.org. math. Cornell University, 2010. No. 1003.3174.
Let M be a G2-manifold. We consider an almost CR-structure on the sphere bundle of unit tangent vectors on M, called the CR twistor space. This CR-structure is integrable if and only if M is a holonomy G2 manifold. We interpret G2-instanton bundles as CR-holomorphic bundles on its twistor space.
A Muslim Azef, or One More Orientalist: Playing the Other in Imperio-Orientalist Mirrors
Bessmertnaya O. Basic research program. WP BRP. National Research University Higher School of Economics, 2017. No. 158/HUM/2017.
The paper discusses constructing various versions of Muslim identity by politically opposite actors, the government and Muslim activists, involved in 'placing' Muslims in modernizing late-imperial Russia. The problem is approached through the extreme case of M.-B. Hadjetlaché (ca 1870-1929), a baptized Jew reinventing himself as Circassian and Muslim and as such working as a State agent against Muslim opposition and vice versa. His strategies of deceit and reasons to trust him in different cultural and political milieus reveal reciprocal and often shared Orientalisms of the 'regimes of truth' defining the processes under study.

Attitudes Towards Gender Equality and Perception of Democracy in the Arab World.
Kostenko V., Kuzmichev P., Ponarin E. Sociology. SOC. Высшая школа экономики, 2014. No. 50.
This paper analyzes the relationship between support of democracy and attitudes to human rights: in particular, support for gender equality in the countries covered by the first wave of the Arab Barometer project. We used cluster analysis and negative binomial regression modeling to show that, unlike in most countries of the world, the correlation between support of democracy and gender equality is very low in Arab countries. There is a group of people in the region who support both democracy and gender equality, but they are a small group (about 17% of the population) of elderly and middle-aged people characterized by higher education and social status. A substantial number of poorly educated males express support for democracy, but not for gender equality. Many people (especially young males aged 25-35 in 2007) are against both gender equality and democracy. Younger people tend to be both better educated and more conservative -- those belonging to the 25-34 age group are the most patriarchal in their gender attitudes. Controlling for age, education still has a positive effect on gender equality attitudes. Nevertheless, this phenomenon probably means that there are two simultaneous processes going on in the Middle East. On the one hand, people are becoming more educated, urbanized etc., which means the continuation of modernization. On the other hand, we observed a certain retrogression of social values.
A.V. Mikhailov's Theory of the Baroque in his "Kulturwissenschaft"
Anton Afanasiev. Humanities. HUM. Basic Research Programme, 2017
This study aims to present that A.V. Mikhailov's historical method is systematic. Special attention is given to historical-anthropological dimension of the A. V. Mikhailov's theory of baroque. The article shows that Mikhailov's historical anthropology should be viewed as a constitutive part of his "Kulturwissenschaft", opposed both to the literary science and to the positivist historiography by means of commitment to historize human sciences (the notion of «new historiсism»).
Becoming a Subway User: Managing Affects and Experiences
Zaporozhets O. Гуманитарные исследования. WP6. Высшая школа экономики, 2014. No. BRP 52.
This paper focuses on a subway user, one of the main characters of mundane mobility in big cities. It is based on the field research conducted by the author in two Russian cities (Moscow and Kazan) in 2013-2014. The subway is considered not only as public transportation, but more broadly as a regulation tool that is used by homo mobilis to construct a wide network of relationships: with the city, with time, with one's daily activities. The notion of "affect management" - the urbanite's ability to manage their own emotional states and experiences - is suggested to describe the role of the subway in everyday life planning

Believing the Self-Contradictory
Schang F. The Right to Believe: Perspectives in Religious Epistemology. ISBN 9783868381320. Ontos Verlag, 2012
An argument for the rationality of religious belief in the existence of God is defended. After reviewing three preconditions for rational belief, I show reasons to privilege the criterion of consistency. Taking the inconsistency of the religious belief in God and the belief in the scientificworld picture as the impediment to a rational belief in God, I propose that we can overcome thisobjection by assuming, firstly, that God is a universal class. This allows us to put the problem of God in set-theoretic terms, such that the antinomy that follows from such an assumption can beovercome by assuming that God is not a subject but a strict class that cannot be individuated. I conclude that that the self-contradictory nature of God does not prevent the believer from making arational, ethical assessment that the contradiction resides in the possibility of using language toexplain his existence, but that this does not make belief in the existence of God unjustifiable – onthe contrary. In this way, we can say statements that claim God exists are justifiable.
Beyond the Fregean Myth: The Value of Logical Values
Schang F. Philisophy of Language and Linguistics (The Formal Turn). ISBN 3110330105. De Gruyter, Editiones Scholasticae, 2010. No. 2.
One of the most prominent in analytic philosophy is the so-called "Fregean Axiom", according to which the reference of a sentence is a truth-value. In contrast to this referential semantics, a use-based formal semantics will be constructed in which the logical value of a sentence is not its putative referent but the information it conveys. Let us call "Question Answer Semantics" (thereafter: QAS) the corresponding formal semantics: a non-Fregean many-valued logic, where the meaning of any sentence is an ordered n-tuple of yes-no answers to corresponding questions. A sample of philosophical problems will be approached in order to justify the relevance of QAS. These include: (1) illocutionary forces, and the logical analysis of speech-acts; (2) the variety of logical negations, and their characterization in terms of restricted ranges of logical values; (3) change in meaning, and ute use of dynamic oppositions for belief sets.

Crimen Extrajudiciale: Ethics of Plagiarism and Erudite Sociability in J. Thomasius and J. C. Schwartz
Sokolov P. Humanities. HUM. Basic Research Programme, 2015. No. WP BRP 92/HUM/2015.
This article deals with the ways of approaching plagiarism in the early modern Europe, mostly in the writings of two German intellectuals, J. Thomasius and J. C. Schwartz. The phenomenon of plagiarism is treated not only as an instrument of "symbolic violence" and "policing force of knowledge" in the Republic of letters, but primarily as a point of intersection of different discourses of the erudite culture: jurisprudence, moral medicine, Ciceronian rhetoric, hermeneutics and simultaneously – as a touchstone revealing the various dimensions of rival models of scientific knowledge (Protestant Aristotelianism, Barock eruditism, enlightened rationalism)
Cultural history: disciplinary borderlands in the time of border-scrapping
Savelieva I. M. Humanities. HUM. Basic Research Programme, 2013. No. 13/HUM/2013.
The paper analyzes the objects, concepts and methods of cultural history / histoire culturelle / Kulturgeschichte / kulturnaya istoriya, a modern historical subdiscipline that exists in different national historiographical traditions. This subdiscipline's objects of study, such as social institutions, social networks, daily interactions, childhood, cultural memory, corporality, etc., lie in a borderland. Therefore, the paper focuses on interdisciplinary interaction in relation to history and raises the question of the institutional boundaries of disciplines.
"Culture of Guilt" in the Context of "Empowerment" and "Oppression" Paradigms of Post-Soviet Orthodoxy
Knorre B. K. Working Papers of Humanities. WP. Издательский дом НИУ ВШЭ, 2014. No. WP BRP 56/HUM/2014.
The paper analyzes ethical-behavioral categories of the contemporary Orthodox ecclesiastic culture in Russia to determine the correlation of the cultural paradigms of "oppression" and "empowerment" therein. The main emphasis is placed on revealing oppressive stereotypes, social action imperatives, social regulators present in the cultural model of Russian Orthodoxy which condition the processes opposing the "empowerment" strategy and reducing its social capital. The hypothesis proposed by the author in this paper is that the key socio-cultural attitude conditioning the system of oppressive-restrictive stereotypes of behavior in the ecclesiastic milieu is the prevalence of the awareness of culpability in the modern ecclesiastic ethos, a certain "culture of guilt". In this connection the author pays most attention to the category of "guilt" and its discontent in Orthodoxy.
Depicting Negation in Diagrammatic Logic: Legacy and Prospects
Schang F., Moktefi A. Diagrammatic Representation and Inference. ISBN-10: 3-540-87729-0. Springer-Verlag, 2008
Here are considered the conditions under which the method of diagrams is liable to include non-classical logics, among which the spatial representation of non-bivalent negation. This will be done with two intended purposes, namely: to review the basic concepts involved in the definition of logical negation; to account for a variety of epistemological obstacles against the introduction of non-classical negations within diagrammatic logic. It will be mainly argued that non-classical logics don't challenge dichotomy as such but merely show that a logical operator may be a negation without operating as a dichotomy.
Descartes and an Indifferent Deceiver
Rogonyan G. Философия и исследования культуры. WP20. Высшая школа экономики, 2014. No. WP20/2014/02.
The aim of this paper is to show how and why the method of radical interpretation, proposed by Donald Davidson, can solve the problems that are formulated in a variety of skeptical scenarios. In particular, the method of radical interpretation deprives Cartesian scenario (both in its traditional and recent versions) all its force and even the status of philosophical problem. Appealing to the difference between intendede and unintended lies one can see how the global skeptical scenario gets solved in both cases. The paper also formulates an argument in favor of expanded version of naturalized epistemology that was offered by W. V. O. Quine - first of all, due to the introduction of social factors. In particualr, there are always at least two necessary limitations imposed by the communication on our hypothesis about knowledge and delusion. In addition, the paper explains the need for a moderate externalism (both perceptual and social) to the variants of Descartes and Hume's skeptical scenario.
DESCARTES AND DOSTOYEVSKI: TWO MODES OF 'COGITO'
Dobrohotov A. L. Humanities. HUM. Basic Research Programme, 2015. No. 89.
Proposed study aims to clarify the nature of the rationality crisis in the European culture of Modernity. This crisis manifested itself in many ways already in the 17th-19th centuries, i.e. at the peak of rationalism. The study considers certain aspects of Cartesianism, which prevented it from dissolving entirely in the epistemology and methodology of Modernity and which, moreover, presuppose certain steps to be taken toward reconsidering the new European rationalism within the framework of overlapping philosophical ideas and literary images. The study focuses on three subjects implied by 'cogito': self-consciousness, will, and law.

Emotional Landscapes of Reading
Samutina N. Basic research program. WP BRP. National Research University Higher School of Economics, 2015. No. 99.
This paper focuses on fan fiction as a literary experience and especially on fan fiction readers' receptive strategies. Methodologically, its approach is at the intersection of literary theory, theory of popular culture, and qualitative research into practices of communication within online communities. It presents a general characterization of fan fiction as a type of contemporary reading and writing, drawing upon the influential works by H. Jenkins, A. Dericho, K. Tosenberger, and others. Taking as an example the Russian Harry Potter fan fiction community, the paper poses a set of questions about meanings and contexts of immersive reading and affective reading, highly present among the reading strategies of this fan fiction community. The emotional reading of fan fiction communities is put into historical and theoretical context, with references to the works by researchers who analyzed and criticized the dichotomy of rational and affective reading, or «enchantment», in literary culture as one of the symptoms of modernity (M. Millner, M. Saler, R. Felski). The metaphor of «emotional landscapes of reading» is used in the paper for theorization of the reading strategies of fan fiction readers, and discussed through parallels with phenomenological theories of landscape. Among the «assemblage points of reading» of fan fiction, such specific elements are described as «selective reading», «kink reading», «first encounter with fan fiction texts» and «unpredictability»

This entry was posted in Advice, Features and tagged Entrepreneurism on September 24, 2013 by The Small Business Heroes Team.
If you're wondering how to become an entrepreneur, I have great news for you. You don't need to invest thousands of pounds in a degree or a diploma. Nor do you have to spend years climbing the corporate ladder. You don't need a license or a certification from government. You don't need to be the best in your field. And you don't even need a unique idea (people start sandwich shops all the time!). You might be surprised to hear that you can enter the world of entrepreneurship today. All you need is the guts to take that leap from secure employment to working for yourself.
While there's no specific qualification required, when I look across our global network of almost 10,000 successful entrepreneurs (each of whom runs a $1m+ company) I do see some common characteristics. Sure, some of them have PhDs, and others have had lucky breaks, but for most, the path to entrepreneurial success has been (and continues to be) paved with challenges. From sourcing quality staff to winning new business, raising finance and fighting against staunch competition and tough market conditions, entrepreneurship has never been easy – a truth that is echoed in the stories of all of the world's most famous entrepreneurs. Steve Jobs was once kicked out of his own company. Bill Gates' first company, Traf-O-Data failed. James Dyson had over 5,000 failed attempts at his vacuum cleaner before hitting the jackpot.
In fact, having the true determination and unflinching optimism in the face of multiple obstacles is, for me, the common thread that connects every successful entrepreneur in the world.
So if you want to become an entrepreneur, you need to first recognise that it's going to be tough – possibly more so than anything else you've been through in your life. And then you need to build a support system around you that will help you get through the inevitable challenges – many of which will be completely new to you (for our members, that's through peer-to-peer learning opportunities). Once you've done that, the rest becomes far easier to manage.
Your entrepreneurship journey will be incredible. You'll learn more about business than any university degree could teach you. You'll learn more about yourself than you could possibly imagine. You'll find more time than you knew you had. You'll find your life inextricably tied to your business. And if you can roll with the punches, you will almost certainly be a success.

It is hot outside and the spirit of summer is in the air! All of our sparkling swimming pools are looking more and more attractive by the day. They're certainly starting to fill up with native Floridians and visitors alike.
Pool areas in resorts and residential apartment complexes become very active this time of year. Pool season starts now, peaks in July, and continues until school starts back up in late August (though we see swimmers throughout the year). Those of us working in the Disney, Kissimmee, and other tourist-heavy areas have already seen an increase in pool traffic. Our goal as Orlando and Kissimmee security guards every year, of course, is to have zero accidents and incidents.
If you're in the position to hire security guards, it's important to make sure they are trained in handling emergencies and are familiar with essential life-saving skills. This is especially true when there is heavy pool usage due to the number of visitors or because it is swimming pool season.
The worst-case scenario is a drowning accident. Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death in children ages 1 through 4. Last summer (2014), the media reported ten drowning deaths in Florida. This is simply too many.
The most important pool safety tips are below.
Teach children how to swim. This is the surest way to minimize drowning risk. There are a myriad of community programs, some very reasonably priced or even free, that teach children pool survival techniques.
Secure the perimeter of the pool. All pools – residential, resorts, hotel and motel, school, apartment – should have fences, period. If there is heavy pool use, hire security personnel, including lifeguards and security guards.
Keep children away from drains. These limb-hungry openings are sometimes strong enough to trap youngsters.
Learn life-saving skills. If worse comes to worse, the use of water rescue, CPR, or other emergency response may become necessary. Look into local programs to get certified.
Remember, it doesn't take long or too much water to drown (all it takes is a small puddle). It's better to be prepared than to wait until after something happens, when you only have seconds to respond. Keep your eyes on your kids at all times to ensure the pool is about nothing but fun, fun, fun!


My point, made with an unfortunate example, is that religion has been used too many times to justify discrimination, persecution and, yes, violence. Acts of violence and aggression can not be excused by religion and all people must be held accountable for their own actions.
Here's my issue. No one (credible) is advocating for an unfettered ability to justify any crime under the auspices of relgious conscience. In short, nobody who is concerned about the rights of wedding vendors, doctors, and religious schools is asking for the ability to murder people with impunity.
His example may have been unfortunate, but he has only doubled down on his strawman: he believes that if you enact accommodations for those of religious conscience, you risk a slippery slope where you must accommodate ANY crime undertaken in the name of religion. And this simply is not true. It is wholly, unequivacably false.
Johnson's perspective ignores hundreds of years of actual jurisprudence surrounding religious freedom. Since the founding of our nation, it has been recognized by courts that religious freedom is bounded by laws that protect public health and safety, or any other "compelling state interest." Never has the Supreme Court — even under the strongest and broadest readings of the First Amendment — permitted people to engage in criminal behavior with impunity merely because their motives were religious.
Latter-day Saints have been long-time defenders of religious liberty, and have faced the brunt of some of the most egregious religious liberty violations in U.S. history (the Missouri extermination order, the imprisoning of Church leaders over polygamy, etc.). Our scripture and our rich history of sermons and teachings supply us with ample reason to support a strong tradition of property rights, religious liberty, and constitutional restraint.
The very first thing I did when I saw this article, is that I did two Google searches: (1) When did California implement its High School exit exam, and (2) How many states have High School exit exams? Turns out, California passed a law in 2004 requiring high school students to pass an exit exam before graduating. Further, many states don't have exit exams for High School, including Utah and Idaho, and never have.
In 2015, after observing the effects of their exit exam for 10 years, the California legislature thinks that it may not have been the best idea, so they are repealing the requirement. Were they right in 2004, or are they right in 2015? *I don't know.* It doesn't matter for my comments here. My point is this: the exit exam didn't exist in California before 2004, but suddenly, it's the *end of our Republic* if it doesn't exist after 2015. That is ridiculous. That is the rhetoric that is destroying civil discourse in our nation. That is the rhetoric that's keeping us from examining issues from every angle, from have cool and collected minds as we respond to policy decisions made by our leaders. This is what is dividing our nation.
Should High Schools have exit exams? I don't know. I would have reservations were they to implement one in my state. And I am a conservative/ (former)Republican /libertarian sort of guy. So it's not crazy to oppose such a requirement for graduating High School — at least, I don't think it is. Standardized testing has always been a controversial, contested issue, by people on all sides of our ideological divides. But yet, according to this article, it spells the end of our Republic that California is revisiting and questioning the requirement which was implemented only 10 years ago. But notice that the article doesn't include that information. The author acts as if the requirement had always been in place until now, that California is undoing centuries of civil tradition.
If you get your news from sources like this, STOP. Just stop. If you've been deceived in the past, that's fine. But don't go back again, otherwise, you weren't just fooled, you are just being foolish. These sorts of polemic sources — whether liberal or conservative — do nothing good for you, except lead you to live in a state of perpetual outrage, and often at shadows (in this case). Don't share such articles.

An Auckland man charged with gun possession in relation to a two-year old's death has been granted interim name suppression at Manakau District Court this afternoon.
The 26-year-old was charged with illegal possession of a firearm, and was arrested following the death of the girl at her family home in Mangere.
Emergency services arrived at Favona Road just before midday yesterday, but the toddler had already died.
She was thought to have been shot and killed with a shotgun found by police at her family home.
The two-year-old lived at the house with her three siblings and her parents, none of whom had a firearms licence, police said.
Detective Inspector Faa Va'aelua said the exact cause of death still had to be confirmed by a post mortem, but it appeared the girl had died from the gunshot wound.
"We found the lifeless body of a two-year-old toddler - a young girl - and our inquiries have so far revealed she suffered a gunshot wound."
Mr Va'aelua said police were still trying to establish whether or not the shooting was accidental.
Police arrested and charged the man after questioning him at the scene.
A local resident yesterday described seeing the street filled with police cars and ambulance trucks shortly after midday.
"We walked past to the shop, and we saw everyone outside, and all the families crying."
Jessie Piutau, who lives just across the road, said she did not know the family, but could hear children crying.
"I was in my room and I heard police sirens and a baby crying."
When she walked outside, she saw the family gathered outside the house with several children.
Another neighbour told RNZ News the family had only been at the home for a few months, and they'd never seen anyone carrying a firearm in the area.
A relative of the family, Seone Tatafu, arrived from his home in Onehunga as soon as he heard the news.
"It's just a shock to everyone, to us, to the family... Me and the boys, we're here to show support, to show love and respect."
Another relative, Sam, said he had spoken to the family of the two-year-old girl earlier, and also said they were in shock.
"It's just like something you're not supposed to wake up to... They're just sad, it's like a horror movie, a bad dream that never stops."
The girl was beautiful, and outgoing, he said.
"She was very smart for her age, she acted like an old person because she was good at sharing.
"We're just all sad that she's gone now."
He said the sudden loss held a life lesson - to keep hold of family ties.
"Just cherish every moment you have, you know, don't take it for granted."
As the sun set, family members gathered with a priest outside the home and performed a waiata, through tears and disbelief, as the body was loaded into a coroner's car and driven away.
Cordons remained in place overnight, as police officers swept through the front yard and the house.
The name of the two-year-old was expected to be released this afternoon, once all of her extended family have been notified.
Police said, once investigations were complete, they might lay further charges against the man currently in custody.


Aglaonema or Chinese evergreen as they are sometimes called offer a range of small, low light loving, leafy plants.
Beaucarnea are often called ponytail palm. These stunning plants are available in a whole host of sizes from desk top planting to large statement specimens. They prefer medium to good light levels.
Codiaeum often called Croton are native to southern India, Malaysia and the Pacific islands. There are many types which all have glossy variegated leaves of different shape, size and colour. They prefer medium to good light levels.
Dracaena NASA rate these plants as some of the best air filters. They love low light and look good as well.
Ficus Commonly called the weeping fig, this is a huge range of plants including, bush forms, standards, decorative stems, bonsai and many more. They prefer good light.
Kentia palm is actually the common name for Howea forsteriana a native of Lord Howe Island, Australia. Another plant that thrives in low light.
Phalaenopsis orchid Often called the Moth orchid. These Asian beauties will often flower for at least 1 month but generally many more and come in numerous colours. They prefer medium light levels.
Philodendron These colourful and fancy shaped leaf plants are native to the tropical Americas and West Indies. They prefer medium to good light levels.
Phoenix roebelenii Commonly called the miniature date palm. These are tough little plants that cope where others will not and flourish in good light.
Rhapis palms are a form of fan palm believed to be natives of southern China and are also known as lady palms. They are perfect in cool low light areas.
Sansevieria are native to west Africa and are often called by their common name of mother-in-law's tongue. They work in low to good light but prefer medium.
Schefflera or umbrella plant as they are commonly called. We tend to use the bush form and ones with interesting stems. They like medium to good light.
Scindapsus or Epipremnum as they are also called are better known as Devil's ivy. They are excellent air filters that thrive in most light levels but prefer medium light.
Yucca Tough drought tolerant plants that thrive in most light levels and can cope with varying temperatures.

Biophotonics: Photonics is key for Cancer Moonshot
The goal of the Cancer Moonshot Task Force is to double the rate of progress in cancer research and treatment.
Barbara Gefvert
As part of the last State of the Union address of his presidency (on June 29, 2016), Barack Obama asked Vice President Joe Biden to lead a national effort to "end cancer as we know it." Focusing on the next five years, the goal of the Cancer Moonshot Task Force is to double the rate of progress in cancer research and treatment.
That same day, the National Photonics Initiative (NPI)—an alliance of leading scientific societies uniting industry and academia—released a white paper and roadmap highlighting key existing and upcoming technologies important for achieving this goal. Attending Biden's Cancer Moonshot Summit in Washington, DC, was NPI Cancer Moonshot Task Force chair (and executive director of Stanford University's Photonics Research Center) Tom Baer, who said that curing cancer "will take public-private partnerships and coordinated investments that will accelerate the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease."
To that end, the NPI had already begun organizing thought leaders from such organizations as the Lung Cancer Alliance, Prevent Cancer Foundation, Siemens, the Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed), the Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA), The Optical Society (OSA), the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE), MD Anderson Cancer Center, Stanford University, Rush University Medical Center, University of Texas Health Science Center, University of Chicago, and Rice University.
Along with expanded funding for clinical studies over the next five years, this consortium recommends using existing noninvasive and minimally invasive imaging technologies, in concert with companion molecular tests, for early cancer detection. In addition, it asks for coordinated public and private investments to facilitate development of noninvasive quantitative imaging methods for both detection and treatment. And, it recommends resources to create a network for development of an information technology (IT) medical infrastructure for both healthcare providers and consumers.
Outline of a brighter future
The NPI's white paper and roadmap, titled "A Brighter Future: Achieving the Goals of the Cancer Moonshot through Adoption of New and Enhanced Technologies and a Transformed IT Health System," details a commitment—made jointly by the scientific community, medical technology industry, more than 350 hospitals, and major patient advocacy groups—to apply more than $3 billion yearly in private investments to technology for early detection of the most aggressive cancers.
The publication breaks down cancer management into six stages (see figure), and describes technologies able to make important contributions at every level. Some of these areas have been mainstays in bio-optics and -photonics, but the technologies have potential even for areas such as lifestyle and environment. Specifically, the document reports new optical methods for assessing risk among smokers and predicting malignancy, and for monitoring common cancer-causing chemicals inside buildings. And, it describes inexpensive wrist-worn sun-exposure monitoring.
While a healthy lifestyle can help prevent cancer, the range of medical detection and treatment approaches (many of them photonics-based) already available and being developed are crucial to cancer detection and treatment. (Courtesy of the National Photonics Initiative)
One of the six case studies in the NPI publication details the vast improvement optical methods offer for measurement of drug response and monitoring for early detection of disease recurrence. Another describes affordable, integrated, point-of-care imaging tools to improve efficacy and lower the cost of cancer detection and treatment in resource-limited settings.
On June 30, 2016, Baer led a webcast discussion of the roadmap and its anticipated impact. Speakers included such stakeholders as Lauren Leiman and Jerry S. H. Lee, Office of the Vice President; Carolyn (Bo) Aldigé, Prevent Cancer Foundation; Shandi Barney, Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed); Jim Mulshine, Rush University; and Joelle Fathi, Swedish Cancer Institute. A recording of the webcast is available at www.lightourfuture.org.
Building on a successful foundation
Optics and photonics already play a key role in healthcare technology, both in enhancing our ability to observe and measure symptoms, as well as our capability to treat patients earlier, less invasively, and more cost-effectively. Photonics-based healthcare tools offer sensitivity, precision, speed, and accuracy that enable rapid, personalized diagnosis and effective therapy. "Advancements in optics and photonics technologies…are essential for ushering in these next-generation tools for medicine and healthcare that will benefit patients across the spectrum of cancer management," says Alan Willner, chair of the NPI Steering Committee.
"If you plan to launch a pioneering collaboration aimed at breaking down a barrier that is impeding progress in cancer research, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, or care, I'd like to hear about it," Biden stated—and a link on the Moonshot website lets innovators communicate such plans.

A: I'm not sure if you have found the answer but IMHO, you are not supposed to put long running tasks in the HTTP request handler. Because HTTP is stateless and supposed to respond to the call almost immediately. That's why we have the concept task queues, async tasks etc. The rule of thumb with server side development is responding to the request as quick as possible. And if you try to build a convolutional deep neural network within the HTTP request, it's normal that it's not really feasible.
Because ideal HTTP request should respond in a coupe of seconds. Your DNN Classifier session running can take too many seconds (need to try).
The hackiest solution would be creating a python thread within the request and let the request respond to the HTTP call without blocking. Meanwhile your thread can go ahead and builds your model. And then you can write your model somewhere or send a mail notification etc.
Here you go:
How can I add a background thread to flask?

Inspired by one long distance walker's performance, many experimented with coca tonics.
The American sprinter Justin Gatlin's recent victory over Usain Bolt at the World Athletics Championships has brought the storied issue of sports doping back into the public eye.
Gatlin has been subject to drug bans twice in his career – first in 2001 (though this was reduced on appeal) and again in 2006. Bolt, by contrast, has become a figurehead for clean competition over his 13 years in professional athletics. The fact that Gatlin beat Bolt to the 100m gold medal in the last race of Bolt's career was met with enraged boos from the crowd. The event has become a lightning rod for the anger that surrounds doping in professional athletics.
Discussions of Gatlin in particular and of performance-enhancing drugs in general tend to be suffused with a rhetoric of criminality and disease. Doping as a "cancer" within sport is a common image. Both Lord Coe (President of the IAAF) and Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill have called for lifetime bans for dopers. Even Usain Bolt, in defending Gatlin's return, referred to him as having "done his time". Modern perceptions of doping are almost entirely predicated on ideas of corruption, immorality, and crime.
There is no reason why Mr Weston should not take advantage of every aid which his superior knowledge places at his disposal. Already he is clothed, fed, and tended in such a scientific manner as leaves little room for improvement. There is nothing nefarious about the use of coca under the present circumstances; nor, I presume, would any person attribute all Mr Weston's powers to some drug suddenly introduced into his system. Could they persuade themselves to do so, his mental powers – his foresight, his energy, his perseverance – would still remain to be accounted for. These are natural qualities of Mr Weston's mind, which he has cultivated to the best advantage.
From a modern perspective, the reaction to Weston's coca-chewing seems entirely counter-intuitive. Rather than anger of the kind directed at Gatlin, Weston's use of the "performance-enhancing" coca was met with interested approval. What little controversy there was centred not on the morality of Weston's actions, but on how his drug use was likely to affect the results of the physiological investigations the doctors had been conducting. Most significantly, no Victorian commentator seriously suggested that Weston might have been cheating by taking drugs.
Inspired by Weston's performance, many began to experiment with cocaine and coca tonics. One doctor and sports enthusiast wrote to The Lancet that the drug was destined to "be hailed as a boon by many a brother sportsman". Amidst the excitement, the Northern Echo reminded its readers that there was more to Weston's success than just coca: whatever its "marvellous properties, the mere chewing of the leaf will not make a counter-jumper a Weston".
So why were Victorian observers so willing both to overlook Weston's coca use, and to embrace performance enhancing drugs themselves? The answer can be seen in how Weston's sporting performance was constructed at the time. Thompson's descriptions in the BMJ placed coca alongside other "preparations" and "superior knowledge" that Weston used: his clothing, the design of his boots, his diet, and the unique gait he adopted to minimise exertion over hundreds of miles of walking. Coca was folded into Weston's regimen of training and specialised understanding of his sport.
More broadly, as a professional athlete, Weston's achievements were seen as the result of a constellation of factors: his bodily strength, his sporting expertise, and the "indomitable pluck and determination" of his character. This was why coca alone would "not make a counter-jumper a Weston". Sporting performance was seen as the expression of an athlete's entire (multi-faceted) selfhood. It was, as The Lancet wrote, "essentially a personal feat".


Courage, Brains, Heart from Colors by Llarowe is one of those polishes that has gained legendary status in the nail polish world. It was released in 2014 as part of A Box, Indied but, as it turns out, you can now order it on its own! This used to sell for big money in nail groups on Facebook.
The formula is buttery smooth - totally awesome. It's super pretty and holographic to boot. But, for some reason I didn't love it like I thought I would after lemming it for years. This is why nail swaps are awesome... this past week I got a box of nail polishes from Natalie (you can check her out wearing my nail polishes on Instagram with #natcatswap) and she got a box from me. CBH was on my lemming list and Natalie had it in her stash so now I've tried it. The formula is sooo nice, I have to say! Looking at the pictures, it does look gorgeous on my nails. It's such a vibrant and saturated deep but hot pink.

Travel Explorations` (www.travelexplorations.com) main target group is experienced backpackers and adventurers. We have met a few during our years of travelling around the world.
We have also had the pleasure to read exciting stories and watch fantastic photos, video films and television programmes produced by great explorers. Such people do we launch to the stardom. These are the moments you feel really alive, and that you are a part of something big.
Target group: experienced backpackers and adventurers.
Our aim is to attract interest from both young people, and people young at heart, world wide, who like more challenges in their daily life, and like to travel to exciting places to achieve unique adventures.
We think there are many great adventurers on our planet, and they are steadily increasing in numbers. Today people want something more out of their life.
Do you know that the tourist industry is the worlds` biggest? The growth is enormous! The Internet will play an important role as regards travel information and on-line booking.
We have met lots of great explorers on our journeys. Among them we will never forget one young and brave Scottish girl. She broke through every obstacle to see new natural wonders, ethnic tribes and strange animals. We have also met one pensioned colonel from USA who frightened the wild bears in Alaska.
It was also interesting to join and hear stories from president Mobuto`s coach for the security squad. He had crossed the African continent several times before he had to escape from the regime. We had great experience together with a small group of Italians when we visited the Bushmen in the disreputable Kalahari-desert in Namibia.
From the story we admires many great explorers as Captain James Cook, Pytheas, Francis Drake, Marco Polo, Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, Dr. Livingstone, Henry Morton Stanley, Rudyard Kipling, Thor Heyerdahl, and some of our Norwegians forthfathers as Leiv Eriksson, Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen.
We also know that the Indians from America, Egyptians and Polynesian people sailed between the continents to search for new places thousand of years before the mentioned persons where born.
Captain James Cook - the world`s greatest explorer ever!
Captain James Cook and the present living Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl also showed abilities to establish good relationship with people they met all over. We believe that this is an important part of the personal abilities that one needs to be a great explorer.
At our web site travelexplorations.com we are committed to provide explorers with information designed to your individual desires and needs. We will do our best to build dialoge with traveller to find out what they look for.
Our vision is to inspire people from all over the world to explore the beautiful, mysterious and unfamiliar world. Our aim is to be a leading independent interactive information provider about exciting journeys and explorations.
Are you a great explorer, or do you have ambitions to be one? Who do you consider do be the greatest explorer in the world? Where do you like to go? Based on this we hope that our website will be useful for you and that you will find your way around the world!

Dez Bryant suffered a concussion in Monday's practice and was ruled out for the Dallas Cowboys third preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks Thursday night.
Prior to the injury, Dez was having a strong preseason. He had four catches for 74 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Bryant looked fully healed from the broken foot that caused him to miss seven games last season. He also underwent two surgeries for the injury and had just 31 catches for 401 yards and three touchdowns last season.
The team also announced that defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford would miss Thursday's preseason game versus the Seahawks because of a concussion he suffered on Sunday.

Can you hear me now? I'm writing!
Have you ever been on a writing roll and felt like the keyboard was just slowing you down?
Well, thanks to 30 new speech-to-text headphones, students can close their eyes, tap into their imaginations and have their words transcribed for them. They can also work on research projects using the new technology that was made possible by a Greenville Educational Enrichment Foundation grant.
The headphones benefit all students, especially those who struggle with keyboarding, English and require accommodations for learning disabilities. The technology can be used with Microsoft Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and One Note.
"We are so happy to have the headphones and thankful to GEEF for providing these tools for our kids at GMS." said Lisa Aly who helped write the grant, along with Angie Shipp and Alexandra Kirckof.
"The headphones are so lightweight and comfortable and the students really love using them. We are going to take good care of them so that our students have these to use for a long time. They have helped so many students, and it's exciting to see them feel successful."
