Evolution under wind yields continuous single crystal graphene films
30 March 2018 | Laurie Donaldson
CVD method produces long single crystal graphene films (credit: Andy Sproles/Oak Ridge National Laboratory, US Dept. of Energy)
A novel "self-selection" method for growing large monolayer single-crystal-like graphene films has been devised by a team led by the US DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in research that contributes to our understanding of the growth mechanism of 2D materials. The films, which are over a foot long, were produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and depend on harnessing a Darwinistic "survival of the fittest" competition among the crystals.
For graphene to be used on a practical level it needs to be made into thin layers on a larger scale than currently possible. This is usually attempted by separating out flakes of graphite into atom-thick layers, or by growing it on an atom-by-atom basis on a catalyst from a gaseous precursor. It is this second approach that is being used here.
Single crystal graphene samples that were more mechanically stable than polycrystalline ones, and as reported in Nature Materials [Vlassiouk et al. Nat. Mater. (2018) DOI: 10.1038/s41563-018-0019-3], their production involved spraying a gaseous mixture of hydrocarbon precursor molecules onto metallic, polycrystalline foil. The local deposition of the hydrocarbon molecules on a moving substrate causes the carbon atoms to be continuously assembled as a single crystal of graphene of up to a foot in length.
As the hydrocarbons land on the hot catalyst foil, they can also form clusters of carbon atoms that gradually grow into larger domains instead of attaching to existing edge but the wind of buffer gas prevents it from happening. In this tightly controlled environment, the fastest-growing orientation of graphene crystals overwhelm the others and get "evolutionarily selected" into one crystal, even on a polycrystalline substrate. Large single crystals are more mechanically robust and possess higher conductivity by eliminating weaknesses arising from interconnections between individual domains in the graphene.
"Our method could be the key not only to improving large-scale production of single-crystal graphene but to other 2D materials as well, which is necessary for their large-scale application" Ivan Vlassiouk
As lead co-author Ivan Vlassiouk said, "Our method could be the key not only to improving large-scale production of single-crystal graphene but to other 2D materials as well, which is necessary for their large-scale application". Co-author Sergei Smirnov adds, "The unencumbered single-crystal-like graphene growth can go almost continuously, as a roll-to-roll and beyond the foot-long samples demonstrated here".
Although the scaling up will be difficult on a practical level, their approach to growing single crystals like monolayer sheets of graphene can be applied to various 2D materials, such as boron nitride and molybdenum disulphide, and heterostructures could also be grown in this way. They next want to test other engineering solutions to improve the availability of these atomically thin materials for large-scale experimentation.
New method gains edge on producing single-crystal-like graphene films
A new chemical vapor deposition method can produce single-crystal-like graphene films by supplying hydrocarbon molecules to the edge of the growing film.

StackState's capabilities are driven by its unique 4T Data Model®. Merging Topology, Telemetry, Tracing and Time are the way to model the configuration of what is going on in any IT system; large or small, based on microservices, containers, web services, monoliths, serverless, cloud or on-premise. It doesn't matter. StackState's 4T Data Model® delivers insight into the entire IT landscape by capturing every millisecond of change, from any source in real time to solve or prevent IT issues faster, with the right team.
For the data to be relevant and actionable, a context must be placed around the data ingested. That context is topology. Topologies in StackState are automatically updated by topology data coming from different sources. Topology data is sourced from different platforms that provision or deploy networks, virtual machines, containers and services or can be discovered via discovery agents.
Each of these sources defines one or multiple subgraphs of the stack's topology. These topological subgraphs are automatically merged and mapped to StackState's stack by the script engine.
StackState is able to ingest telemetry data (metrics, events and logs) from external IT systems such as monitoring, provisioning, deployment and configuration management tools or StackState's own agent. The telemetry is combined with the topology data to create a comprehensive picture of your IT environment and how it is functioning in real-time.
StackState relies on plugins to receive and convert the incoming data streams. Plugins can be implemented in easy to use scripting languages and support both a push as well as pull interaction model.
Tracing provides end-to-end insight in your entire IT landscape at code level. With an easy to understand and navigate overview centered around the topology. Tracing is also fully integrated with our unique time travel capabilities which captures all changes over time.
StackState Tracing capability supports all major languages and has full support for distributed traces. StackState Tracing even integrates cloud tracing technologies such as Amazon X-Ray and Azure Monitor.
Problems in IT stacks can usually be traced back to changes. Having a change log of everything in your IT landscape is vital. To record these changes, we've built StackGraph, the worlds' only versioned graph database. StackGraph allows StackState to go back to any moment in time and to see exactly what your landscape looked like at that moment.
The web-based user-interface of StackState is equipped with a WebGL based rendering engine. Hardware accelerated graphics allow for visualizing massive topologies. The 3d visualization allows you to visualize not only the present topology, but also the past and future all in one glance.


Three kinds of "single moms" exist in the church: the literal single mom who is raising children on her own, the mom whose husband is an unbeliever, and the mom whose husband professes belief but does not partner in the spiritual nurture of the family. For the true single mom and the mom married to an unbeliever, the task is clear: train your children in the Lord because no one else will. For the wife of the believing father guilty of spiritual absenteeism, the lines are blurry. She lives in the tension between wanting to honor her spouse and wanting to spiritually equip her children. All three "single moms" desperately need the support of the church, but in this post I want to focus specifically on the third mom, a woman trapped in a dilemma.
To Wait or to Act?
This mom walks in a great deal of anxiety, particularly in more conservative environments where emphasis is placed on fathers leading spiritually in the home. She sees her children going to bed each night with no family time spent in the scriptures or in prayer, with no conversations broached on the critical subjects that help kids transition to adulthood with the wisdom they need. She has gently raised the suggestion that dad initiate these teaching moments, to be met with apathy or with short-lived token attempts. And because she has been taught that God wants men to be the ones to lead such conversations in the home, she begins to believe that the only course of action open to her is to sit silently, not wanting to usurp authority, confused about what her role should be as mother and wife, praying that the Lord would change her husband's heart.
Not that prayer is a give-up position. It is a far better use of mom's words than berating or begging dad to be more involved. Prayer for dad's heart and for the hearts of the children should always be the first action mom pursues, both in homes where dad is spiritually present and in homes where he is not. But in homes where dad is spiritually absent, I believe mom is called both to pray and to act.
When my children were in early elementary school I would walk them to the corner where the crossing guard would help them across a busy intersection to the school. She wore an orange vest and carried a stop sign. She had a whistle. She knew the traffic patterns. It was her job to make sure the cars stopped and the children crossed safely. As a parent, I did not have authority to tell my kids to cross the street when the intersection looked clear to me. That was the crossing guard's job.
Of course not. I should do what she has chosen not to do. I should watch for an opening in the traffic and walk my children safely across the street. I should submit to a higher authority than the crossing guard in the interest of doing what is safe and right.
Moms dealing with spiritually absent dads rightly feel anxiety for their children. In the busy intersection of life, it is neither safe nor right to leave children untrained in spiritual matters. In fact, it would be reprehensible to do so. But don't worry - it's possible to honor your sacred responsibility to your children and their Heavenly Father while still showing honor to their earthly father.
The Great Commission calls followers of Christ to make disciples, teaching them to obey all He has commanded. Parents are charged with this very call within the home. A mom who can't count on her husband to partner in fulfilling it will need courage and humility to move ahead in obedience to Christ. As His disciple, she can and must spend her efforts to make disciples of her children, teaching them to obey His commands. Moms, not only do you have permission to take this on, you have a mandate.
In the absence of dad's help, move forward to fill the gap. Without vilifying dad, simply begin having the conversations necessary to guide your children safely to adulthood. Continue to pray for dad. Continue to invite him periodically to join the conversation. Continue to honor him by committing to speak well of him to your children. As you ask the Lord to help you in your efforts and to soften your husband's heart, keep confessing any resentment or self-righteousness you might harbor. Lean on your Christian community for support. But don't let fear of usurping an authority dad does not exercise keep you from equipping your kids with the fear of the Lord. The Lord delights in those who do His will. Train those kids. Remind yourself that God is their perfect Heavenly Father, and trust Him to care for them and shape them to be like His Son.

Eikon is Thomson Reuters primary market data platform, offering a mix of referential and analytical tools, used by over 100,000 financial professionals around the world. Whilst incremental development continued to move the product forward, it was felt that a huge opportunity existed to improve the quality and breadth of coverage of the offering by transforming it into an open platform. This would allow third parties to build apps leveraging Thomson Reuters data and the distribution channel provided by Eikon.
The first stage of work was to flesh out the concept and explore the key implications for the design of the product and the impact on the business model. The design team organised workshops with key stakeholders, sketching potential interface solutions and developing a presentation to outline the proposed solution. I worked on every aspect of the project, including developing the concepts, creating diagrams to explain key concepts, writing copy and helping to create the presentation. The work was presented to over 200 senior managers from across the company, building understanding and buy-in for the proposed work.
A key part of the transformation of the product was the change from a single window to a 'floating desktop', in which apps occupied separate windows, controlled by a toolbar at the top of the screen. This afforded much greater flexibility than in previous designs – especially for professionals using multiple screens.
I worked closely with product management and development to design every detail of the new interface. Sequential wireframes were developed which illustrated key workflows through the product. These allowed early testing of the ideas and aided communication with senior stakeholders. User experience and implementation challenges were identified early and changes made, with the design developing rapidly over a period of weeks.
Once the agile development process began, specifications were created for sections of the experience as they were required. I hosted calls with the development team several times each week to talk through new specifications; review work that was underway; and discuss upcoming needs. Specifications were kept deliberately lightweight, tackling only one small piece at a time and relying on regular discussion to fill in any details. This ensured that a common understanding was established and allowed rapid changes to be made where problems were identified, or new opportunities found.
I worked closely with visual designers to translate the visual signature work for the platform into a workable implementation. Particular challenges involved the translation of the design from Photoshop into an implementation in WPF within the constraints of the development timescales. To avoid visual design problems being de-prioritised, I agreed a working model with development in which they would dedicate two hours a week to visual design fixes. I hosted calls during this time which brought the visual designer and developers together to review the implementation. Problem areas were examined, colour values and sizing information provided in real time and the impact of the changes reviewed. This allowed us to respond dynamically to limitations in the implementation, achieving a much better result than simply providing specifications and waiting for feedback.
In a number of areas, interactions involved animated effects, such as dragging tabs to dock and undock windows. Simple animations were created to show the intended effect and explore the event timings.
Once early versions of the software were available, I helped to organise user testing in the design team's usability lab. This allowed us to explore key areas of uncertainty and feed corrections back to development in real time.
The application was completed and released to the market in January 2014 as Eikon version 4.0.

Wang Sapung to Chiang Khan 82 kilometers via Loei 10th Day of riding.
The best and flattest road for the whole tour of cycling so far from Wang Saphung to Chiang Khan on the Laos Thai border for a rest day. There was even a 20 km dedicated cycling track on leaving Wang Saphung into the big town of Loei but sadly there was no riding today.
The gears on my bike had been smashed over the last 10 days of climbing mountains and finally they called it a day yesterday , so it was off to a bike shop in the big smoke of Loei to fix the bent rear derailer, buy new gear cables and levers before moving onto Chiang Khan in the support vehicle.
A bit of luck to have had the bike worked on all day today in ready for the last two days of riding from Chiang Khan to Baan Muang and onto Nong Khai 206 kms along the Mekong River after our planned rest day tomorrow in Chiang Khan.
Chiang Khan is a district (amphoe) in the northern part of Loei Province, northeastern Thailand.
Chiang Khan was founded in the late-19th century when Lao villagers crossed the Mekong after the French colonised Laos. More migrants later arrived from Vietnam and China. Chiang Khan became a trading hub largely due to its location on the river. People on both sides of the rivers exchanged goods, culture, and language. Trading stopped in 1975 when the communist Pathet Lao seized power from the Lao government and cut economic ties to Thailand. Chiang Khan languished until rediscovered in the early-21st century.
Fishing the Mekong River was formerly Chiang Khan's biggest earner. Declining catches have ruined that. As recently as ten years ago, 100 families derived their income from fishing. Today that number has declined to roughly 40 families. Chiang Khan has now been discovered by tourists. Some 650,000 persons, Thai and foreign, visit the village every year.

For 15 years now this enigmatic band from Santa Cruz shows up to show out but doesn't take the prestidigitation to the point of blurred fingers and hands. The Devil Makes Three comes close, though, as it serves its ample songs with ample treatment and ample harmony — ample, ample, ample. Rooted somewhat in tradition, the instrumentation the trio (I guess the devil makes four in this case) still sounds current despite what nostalgia it may conjure with banjo, guitar, and doghouse bass.

Rolex came on board to become TED's premier partner early. In 2010 I worked with our Director of Partnerships to pitch a collaboration that ultimately led to Rolex underwriting all of TED's effort in mobile & platforms for 7 years. At that time the world was still in awe with iPhone, and iPad was freshly introduced for the first time ever.
The "Inspired Me" feature was conceived on the premise that Rolex doesn't want to simply be a logo on an app, but to truly provide value to TED's audience. I sketched out how we could incorporate the notion of "time" as a factor for searching for inspiration. This became very successful (featured at Cannes, etc) that Rolex extended the partnership to support TED.com as well.
Here's an early sketch I did of the feature on the phone.
Today the relationship remains strong. One of my last project was on working with Rolex to conceive an interactive story-telling on the new Amazon Alexa voice platform. The idea is to create intelligent content that covers real-world ethics that the audience can participate, not just by listening like a podcast, but by being immersed as the actor in the story. This work is currently in progress at the time I left TED.

I wasn't able to watch the final round of the British Open yesterday, so I checked for live posts from journalists during the morning.
As the hottest names kept doing notable things to jam the top of the leaderboard, the hyperventilating became palpable.
Then Molinari won, and the coverage quickly tanked into radio silence. By mid afternoon, there was no mention at all of the tournament on the front pages of the NYT, Wash. Post, and several other online news publications. I guess the poor guy ruined everyone's Sunday.
To be fair, he didn't do anything really exciting, and that's pretty much how he won the tournament. No bogeys in the final two rounds, and 16 holes at par in the final round is simple, boring, and effective play.

Improving global health through data: Tableau Foundation looks back at 2019
Eillie Anzilotti
Public Affairs Specialist at Tableau
Editor's Note: As the year comes to a close, the Tableau Foundation team took the opportunity to reflect back on what we've learned about poverty, inequity, climate change, global health, and employee engagement. This series of blog posts shares the most critical insights we've gained from our partners and our programming over the past year, and we look forward to what's to come in the next decade.
Think about some of the major health problems claiming the lives of people around the world. From malaria to malnutrition to diarrheal disease, these are conditions we have the knowledge and methods to treat. But just because solutions exist doesn't mean they're always accessible. At Tableau Foundation, our partners are working in the midst of these issues to close the gaps between treatments and those most in need of them. They have taught us that health is not just about innovating on cures—it's also about using data to understand where those solutions can have the greatest impact, and making sure they reach the people affected.
Over the past year, our partners at PATH, Splash, and Operation Fistula, have reminded us of the value of data-informed connections in the healthcare space: connections between treatments and people in need, between organizations working on similar issues, and between public-private-NGO partnerships as well. A good health system is a well-networked one. In this blog, we dive deeper into this, and other, powerful insights our partners have shared with us over the last year:

1. Data needs to back up every solution
One of our partners, Splash, works on a health issue for which the solution is very well known, but poorly distributed: access to clean water and good sanitation infrastructure. Splash wants to bring quality water-filtration technology to schools and orphanages across cities in Africa and Asia, starting with the goal of reaching one million kids in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and Kolkata, India. The technology exists, so Splash focuses on the delivery and access, making sure it gets into the hands of people who lack it—and that they have the tools and support needed to maintain the quality infrastructure.
For Splash, and for many of our partner organizations, it's not about the technology or the innovation itself. It's about whether or not the tools and methods reach the people it need to, and if everything 'is working optimally. "When we work in a school, say of 900 kids, we need to know if the toilets we construct are functioning, if the water stations that we build are being used, if soap is being put out each day, if the teachers are imparting the right lessons," says Eric Stowe, executive director of Splash. "And if you take Ethiopia, where in one city we work in 500 schools, serving 500,000 kids, that's a lot of questions that need to be asked." Splash will use Tableau to build dashboards to track the answers to those questions from every school and orphanage in real time. Using data, they can know immediately if a school needs support to fix its water filter or if not enough soap is being distributed to all the kids. What Splash is showing us is that it's not enough for organizations to deploy a simple solution and walk away, expecting success. Organizations need accurate, real-time data to keep them connected to their projects and the people they serve.

2. Recognize when you don't need to reinvent the wheel
The way Splash is planning to use data and Tableau to answer questions about their work will help them ensure quality and accountability across all their projects. It's also, on a larger level, about scale and replicability—and proving that their model works. They hope the work they're doing will be supported and implemented by national and local governments at scale. "We will not get there if we're unable to give the government clear data that shows there is a before and after, that there is increased cost efficiency, and that there are more kids going to school on more days because they're healthier," Stowe says.
In a sense, what Splash wants to do is hand governments an efficient and effective model they can plug into any city, in any country. With an issue as widespread as lack of access to clean water, time saved on program design and implementation results in lives saved.
What we've learned from our partner, PATH, a global health organization working at the intersection of technology, innovation, and global health, is that having good data around the efficacy of a program will get other governments and program leaders to pay attention.
For the past several years, PATH and Tableau Foundation have been working in partnership to eradicate malaria in Zambia. Now that PATH and Tableau Foundation have built a solid tech stack for the Visualize No Malaria program in Zambia, we've been able to expand and bring the ministries of health in Senegal and Ethiopia onto the same tech stack. "One of the problems in the global health sector is the proliferation of pilot projects that never scale," says Neal Myrick, global head of the Tableau Foundation. From the way that PATH has scaled—and how Splash is hoping to similarly scale—we've seen the incredible value of investing in a model that works, and ensuring that as many people have access to it as possible. "We've been advocating for funders and program leaders to start scaling things that work versus creating brand new programs all the time," Myrick says. "The ability to share program design and resources across organizations and geographies is a huge win."

3. For the greatest impact, understand how health connects to other disparities
As we continue to invest in nonprofits that scale critical interventions for global health, we've learned that while improving health outcomes is the primary focus of the work, it's often much broader than that. Splash, for instance, is as much about health as it is about equity. The non-profit targets its programs to the most economically-disadvantaged kids in urban areas, Stowe says, because it wants to set cities up to serve children more equally going forward. "The breakdown of hardware like sinks and toilets really limits a child's ability to stay healthy," Stowe says. And beyond the health impacts, the lack of good, on-site sanitation infrastructure poses "really significant barriers to a child's education." That, in turn, perpetuates inequitable outcomes for those children throughout their lives.
One of our other partners, Operation Fistula, is focused on drawing the link between health and gender equity. Their work focuses on ending obstetric fistula, a devastating result of complicated childbirth that occurs when a woman doesn't have access to care options like c-sections. Fistula is preventable and curable, but the women who do not have access to treatment and care are often isolated from society, compounding the barriers to independence and success they might already face as women. Operation Fistula, like Splash, leads with health, but their work has taught us how one issue can act as a lever to challenge even larger systemic inequities.

Our partners in the global health space have shown us how health is a complex function of many factors beyond diseases and cures. It's about the contexts in which people live and the access they have to resources—one as simple as clean water. We know, through our partners, that data can ensure that treatments are reaching the people they need and that they're working effectively. But good data infrastructure also enables organizations and governments to ask questions about how well those solutions are working, and to share systems and best practices across contexts. Data can weave a strong network through which governments, non-profits, and private companies can work together to stay accountable for the health of people and communities as a whole.

New Book: The Guerilla Philosopher
I've been a bit busy recently with a couple of personal projects, I have my great uncle John's book 'After Dunkirk: D-Day and How We Planned the Second Front' coming out soon both as a book and audiobook and today my short book on Colin Wilson, which I've made into an audiobook, as well, is released today.
Colin Wilson was a popular author and philosopher who wrote well over a hundred books on subjects as diverse as Mysticism, Crime and Serial Killers, Existentialism, the Occult and the Paranormal, History, Art and Literature . His first book 'The Outsider' (1956), which made him famous overnight, was an examination of the social 'Outsider' found in the works of Sartre, Camus, Dostoyevsky, William James, T.E.Lawrence, Hesse, Van Gogh, Nijinsky and others. In both his non-fiction and the many novels that followed this success, he continued to expand and develop a philosophy of the inner powers that human beings possess. This study of Wilson's 'New Existentialism', uses Sartre and Freud, as a lens, through which to examine Wilson's ideas.
I attended the first international conference on Colin Wilson (at Nottingham University) a while ago and met, again, my first publisher, Colin Stanley, who organised the conference. Stanley is a long time devotee of Colin Wilson's (as were most of the attendees) and has published numerous books, articles and studies of Wilson, over many years.
My book came out shortly after I graduated and I was always grateful to Colin Stanley for accepting the manuscript. It was a very pleasing feeling, to have a book accepted by a publisher and feel validated in some way. I do a lot of self-publishing these days, which is fine, but there's nothing quite like an outside agency taking up your words and saying, 'Yes that's good enough to publish'. How fragile the artist's mind and assessment of his own talent is I guess!
I've changed my opinions on Colin Wilson, in a number of ways, over the years. However, I didn't rewrite, 'The Guerilla Philosopher' for the audio version but I did record a kind of self-interview, a slightly rambling monologue, just to update the book a little.
I met many interesting people at the conference, many writers on Colin Wilson but the one who stayed in my mind most I guess was Gary Lachman. Partially, I'm sure, because his back story is in itself interesting as he was a member of the pop group Blondie but also he followed in the footsteps of Colin Wilson, literally and metaphorically. Having read The Occult and gotten interested in Wilson's ideas, Gary decided to go and visit the man himself in Gorren Haven, Cornwall.
They met, and with his usual generosity, Colin, welcomed Gary with open arms and they got to know each other over the years, I think, reasonably well. At least, well enough for Gary to now have written a biography of Colin Wilson called 'Beyond the Robot' which I'm reading just now (having been meaning to read it for quite some time!).
I guess, meeting Gary and his very interesting Norweigan (I think!) partner, at a party, at Colin Stanley's house after the conference, I was reminded of myself when I was younger. Not that I am anything like Gary, rather the reverse. Gary actually went out and did what I only timidly imagined doing thirty years ago i.e. he went to visit Colin Wilson.
I watched an interview with Gary recently and he was talking of his days with Blondie, saying how he wasn't much of a bass guitar player and that, in fact, there were many better players around at the time. Only, they were in their bedrooms becoming great players, for sure, but not taking themselves 'out' into the world. Gary did and that I admire.
I realise that all my 'intellectualising', when I was younger, was an intellectualising 'away'. I gave myself all the reasons as to why one wouldn't write a letter or go and visit an interesting author. The truth I now realise, after many years, is that I simply wasn't brave enough to confront the world, to get out there and see what happened.
Sure, I did, to some extent, I had my first performance at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe around this time, for instance, but I didn't adopt the attitude for long enough or persistently enough and, in fact, made a major decision about my life in the negative.
I decided that I couldn't be an actor. I knew one or two professional actors and the life they led required an enormous stamina for rejection. And I, stupidly, decided that, because I wasn't great at taking criticism, I should not pursue the only thing I knew I wanted to do. This was one of the greatest mistakes of my life and it came about because I didn't trust in life.
One thing I can honestly say about living and being creative, is that, when I have 'trusted' in life, when I have 'gone out into the world' and taken a risk, it has never backfired. Never. Almost always, in fact, it has turned out well. Synchronicity has kicked in, doors have opened, people I feared would say 'No', have said 'Yes' and with enthusiasm.
On the rare occasion nothing has happened I've at a minimum been able to say 'Ah well at least I tried and failed' which is better than to have the regret of never having tried. Honestly, even the failures have, in the end, felt like modest victories. Victories over timidity, over oneself, if not the world.
I was once in Tunisia with my mother, sister and brother-in-law. Mum and I wanted to go to the ancient site of Carthage but Karen and Jim wanted to do something else (I can recall what, which is testament in itself). We didn't go. We knew, we knew even then, that we would regret it.
We regretted it for the rest of our lives.
Mum died earlier this year and so she never got to Carthage and I also have not yet made it to Carthage. Mum and I, actually developed our 'choosing not to go to Carthage', as a kind of touchstone, a reminder as to what not to do when seeing an opening or opportunity. If you have the opportunity, take it now, tomorrow it just may not be there. The stars may not line up, the fates may not roll around again in your life time. Such thinking prompted me to go and see an eclipse of the sun in France onetime instead of reading about it in the newspapers. I went to Jura, to visit the farmhouse George Orwell wrote '1984' in on the basis of the same reasoning and over the years I have taken more opportunities.
I am now a professional actor. I am a member of the actor's union Equity to prove or validate the feeling, when once I thought it wasn't possible for someone like me to be a member. In those days it was the case that you had to have done three months paid acting before you could get the Equity card, and to get an acting job, you needed an Equity card, so… someone like me could never get an Equity card. Or so I 'intellectualised' and talked myself out of becoming an actor.
The most basic point was that this was negative thinking. Ironically, this is the antithesis of anything Colin Wilson ever wrote. He believed we all could move beyond our 'Robot' self. The 'self' that accepts the world as it is, the 'self' that is fearful and decides to stay at home.
To be honest I'm still learning the lesson. As I kept telling people recently, 'I'm an autodidact… it's just that I'm not a very good teacher!' I see younger people, some of whom are exploiting their talents to the maximum, utilising the great energy and in-built fearlessness of youth to the full - and whilst I don't envy them their youth (not too much!) as I have enjoyed learning all the things I've learnt (though I could do with less aches and pains!) - but equally I'm happy not to have the callowness of youth and the sometimes, slightly silly, hubris. But I do envy, the time they have to expand even further and the positive outlook (if they have it) that I envy too.
Some of this, I realise, is about one's upbringing and that old bugbear one's Class. The better (in this case, I mean, wealthier) one's up bringing, the more one can exploit the natural fearlessness and positivity of youth that I spoke of. That is true. I see people I know, from similar backgrounds as mine (not poor but working class) and they have not 'exploited' their potential, they have not fulfilled their capacities and developed their abilities to the full because something inside has held them back. Arrogant speakers, call it, 'Poverty of ambition', when really it is simply 'poverty' that built that 'lack'.
Colin Wilson was not very sympathetic to this kind of notion. Because people can 'pull themselves up by their bootstraps' or 'Get on their bike to find work' as Norman Tebbit once put it, doesn't mean everyone will and, in this world, it doesn't mean, literally, everyone can or could. Whatever Wilson may have felt, about how great we can become, if your brain is damaged by malnutrition as an infant, to use an extreme example, or more moderately, by very poor schooling, it may be impossible or certainly much harder, to ever attain that 'greatness'.
Class aside (and that's quite a 'putting aside'!) if you are from a wealthy country and reasonably well-off (as many of us, who are from such a country, are), then Wilson's ideas of inner power and potential are worth looking at.
The reason, I ended up reading some many of Wilson's books, was not because I thought him the greatest literary figure I'd come across but because his books are kind of 'self-help books for the soul'. This is a backhanded sounding compliment I know but I mean it quite sincerely. If you aspire to creativity, Wilson's books feed that aspiration. The contradiction, with Wilson, is the same as it is with Nietzsche, the call from these writers, is to be an original, to be an original powerhouse of creativity and to not follow in the footsteps of others; to not be a 'sheep' as Nietzsche would have said. Yet in reading their books and 'following' their notions, one is, at least moderately, just tagging along and being, unoriginal. To fall under their 'spell' is to lose one's own drive and uniqueness as is the case with any Guru, thinker, scientist or god-head, be it Einstein or Jesus.
Anyway, I've rambled on much longer than I intended! Wilson is a flawed writer, I would admit, but heck, he was industrious, positive and interested in the world. He believed in human creativity and endeavour, even if he was a bit dismissive of much of humanity at the same time!
The main thing is I would recommend reading perhaps four or five of his books say 'The Outsider' and 'The Occult' definitely, if nothing else they are packed with interesting literary and historical information which rather undersells them because they're great reads too. Then one of his books on murder, perhaps 'Order of Assassins: The Psychology of Murder' or 'A Casebook of Murder', which delve into murky areas of the human psyche but areas which most of us are still interested in (if you can stomach them because they are quite grisly at times).
The novel 'God of the Labyrinth' is a powerful book about the sexual drive I seem to remember, (though be warned it is not a feminist tract) or a non-fiction version might be 'Misfits' on sexual abnormalities (which again is dated in its gender attitudes but still full of unusual and interesting information).
I also liked 'Access to Inner Worlds: The Story of Brad Absetz' about an artist I'd never heard of but it's probably more about Wilson's ideas than it is the artist, which is a general rule with Wilson. Any of the figures he speaks of be it Jung, Hesse, Ouspensky, Blatvasky, Gurdierff, Nijinsky, Van Gogh and so on, the truth is, is that he is always glossing their ideas with his own. But the journey along the way is worthwhile, for a few books at least.
I've recommended a few titles, but reall, in terms of his ideas, if you read any one of his hundred or so books, you will get his central thesis of positivity. In some it's less clear than others and the material itself occludes his central ideas but usually it's pretty plain, for most people, we have more in us than we allow out. Be a 'Yea-sayer' as Nietzsche put it and with that I agree.
The Farthingstone Chronicles
A literary, historical and personal blog that also comments on contemporary events.


In particular, Chinese music, with guest instrumental trio, the Orchid Ensemble.

The Bel Canto Chorus plants its roots firmly in the Western classical choral tradition. So their final concert of the season on Wednesday marks a stark departure. "This is the first time we have done this kind of repertoire," conductor Richard Hynson acknowledges. Although Eastern music developed very sophisticated rules for rhythm, tonal systems and song, there is no choral tradition in Chinese, Arabic, Persian and Indian music. So a concert called "Travels on the Silk Road" was bound to be a stretch for an a capella choral group like the Bel Canto.
Hyson was introduced several years ago to a music publisher, Earthlings, which specialized in adapting world music to Western settings. Bel Canto selected a variety of songs adapted for chorus from Arabic (Syria, Iraq), Indian and Chinese traditions. Long before Marco Polo, active trade routes connected these cultures. Sophisticated musical traditions developed that are quite different from those of the West. But nowadays, Eastern music is being heard — and transformed — in the West. And western music has been embraced in the East. For example, Western choral groups frequently tour China.
Much of Wednesday's concert features the Bel Canto alone. Hynson says the largest challenge has been to master the different languages – Farsi, Arabic, Cantonese and others. But musical tones are different as well. A work influenced by Far Eastern gamelan (tuned percussion) orchestras is based upon a note cluster that seems exotic to Western ears. Vocal trills incorporating more than a full whole step occur in Arabic selections. The result can be more authentic when individual soloists sing songs in the more traditional Eastern format.
Is the concert an exploration of ancient traditional music? More accurately, the program offers a 21st century Western perspective on musical sources long absent in the West – both a familiar and exotic exploration of Eastern traditions.
The evening explores more authoritative sounds with the participation of a guest instrumental trio, the Orchid Ensemble. The trio — Lan Tung (Taiwan/Canada) on the erhu (Chinese violin), Yu-Chen Wang (Taiwan/US) on the zheng (or gushing, a Chinese zither, and Jonathan Bernard (Canada) on percussion — blends ancient musical instruments and traditions from China and beyond. They have worked to bring traditional music to new audiences and to fuse contemporary and traditional music to develop new innovative musical genres. Even the guests will be offering a fusion of Eastern and Western influences.
The Orchid Ensemble will perform a separate set of instrumental works and accompany the Bel Canto for a set of largely Chinese folk songs adapted for chorus. The ensemble's work may be previewed on their YouTube channel.
The Ensemble will remain in Milwaukee for a week in residency with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra's Arts in Community Education Program.
The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m., May 18 at the Milwaukee Theatre Rotunda, 500 W Kilbourn Avenue. The Rotunda should not be confused with the Milwaukee Theatre auditorium. The semi-circular Rotunda room offers a more intimate experience for about 300 guests. Tickets are available from $20-32. They may be purchased online or at the door.

A suspect who used the identity belonging to others committed several high-end mountain bike thefts from bicycle shops in Thousand Oaks and throughout Southern California has been arrested in Los Angeles County.
On 10-24-18, patrol deputies from the Thousand Oaks Police Department responded to Newbury Park Bike Shop in Thousand Oaks reference a high end mountain bike theft. During the preliminary investigation, the reporting deputy learned the suspect had identified himself by using a fraudulent California Driver's License. The suspect requested to test ride a Santa Cruz Bronson mountain bike retailed at over $5000 and provided the fake driver's license, a wallet containing a credit card, social security card and a set of keys as collateral. The suspect rode off with the bike and did not return.
During a follow-up investigation, Financial Crimes Detectives from the Thousand Oaks Investigations Bureau learned the true identity of the suspect as Anthony Negreary. Detectives learned Negreary was involved in at least 11 other similar high-end bike thefts from bicycle shops throughout Southern California.
Financial Crimes Detectives with the Thousand Oaks Police Investigations Bureau coordinated with detectives from Santa Monica Police Department, Los Angeles Police Department, Buena Park Police Department, Pasadena Police Department, and Arcadia Police Department, who all had open cases with similar high-end bicycle thefts. It was determined Negreary was the suspect in all the cases and used similar methods by using the personal identifying information of others to commit the bike thefts.
During the investigation, it was determined Negreary had used the personal identifying information of several victims to rent an apartment in Los Angeles County, purchase a car, finance a loan, open bank accounts, credit cards, and obtain fraudulently manufactured driver's licenses and social security cards.
On Friday, November 2, Negreary was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department Warrant Detail for a warrant for one of the bike theft cases in their jurisdiction. Negreary bailed out of jail on the warrant the same day.
Thousand Oaks Financial Crimes Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Negreary for identity theft and grand theft. Detectives coordinated with LAPD detectives and on Thursday, November 29, 2018, Negreary was again arrested by detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department for the Thousand Oaks warrant.
Negreary was booked into custody at the Los Angeles County Jail where he awaits court proceedings for consolidated cases for grand theft and identity theft. Once Negreary's case in Los Angeles is adjudicated he will be transferred to Ventura County to face charges.
Anyone with information about similar high-end bike thefts or has additional information about the suspect, is asked to call Detective Paul Ferruzza at 805-494-8231.

Q: Problems in Partial Derivatives I'm trying to compute the Partial Derivatives for the equation:
$$k(a, b) = a^2 \exp\left(-\frac{1}{2b^2} (x-y)^2\right)$$ w.r.t. $b$
$x$ and $y$ are known; both $a$ and $b$ are hyper-parameters.
I'm a little confused on this problem...

A: If it is just to compute the partial derivative w.r.t to b then do as follows
$$k(a, b) = a^2 \exp\left(-\frac{1}{2b^2} (x-y)^2\right) = a^2\exp\left(-\frac{1}{2b^2}f(x,y)\right)$$
since the only place where $b$ occurs is in the exponent we can take the derivative as
$$
\frac{\partial k}{\partial b} = a^2 \frac{\partial}{\partial b}\exp\left(-\frac{1}{2b^2}f(x,y)\right)
$$
to take the derivtive of the exponent we proceed as
$$
\frac{\partial}{\partial b}\exp\left(-\frac{1}{2b^2}f(x,y)\right) = \exp\left(-\frac{1}{2b^2}f(x,y)\right)\frac{\partial}{\partial b}\left(-\frac{1}{2b^2}f(x,y)\right)\\
=\exp\left(-\frac{1}{2b^2}f(x,y)\right) f(x,y)\frac{\partial}{\partial b}\left(-\frac{1}{2b^2}\right)\\
=\exp\left(-\frac{1}{2b^2}f(x,y)\right) f(x,y)\left(-\frac{-2}{2b^3}\right)
$$
which leads to
$$
\frac{\partial k}{\partial b} = \frac{a^2}{b^3}(x-y)^2\exp\left(-\frac{1}{2b^2}(x-y)^2\right)
$$

Sea and Boats
This piece depicts the shoreline of Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire. Frances Walker lives in Aberdeenshire and the coastline around her home is a common subject in her work. This image provides a striking contrast between the calm, ordered row of buildings and the turbulent sea. This contrast is created both by colour - compare the clean browns, pinks and whites of the building and the pier with the range of blues and greens of the sea - and by technique, where the straight lines and simple textures of the buildings stand out besides the vibrant, energetic waves of the water raging against them.
It is interesting to note how small the town appears as it is surrounded on one side by a cloudy sky that takes up over a third of the page and on the other side by the sea. The image serves to make the buildings look small and boxed in, surrounded by a hostile environment. This is especially true for the boats in the harbour, whose small dashes of red look particularly vulnerable in the centre of the image. The viewer can see a cloud of surf rising above the road in front of them, giving a sense of the sea's energy.
The artist finds inspiration in the nature of the Scottish wilderness and aims to convey that wildness through her art. Inspiration also comes from the people of these untamed lands and their impact on the natural surroundings.
Frances Walker was born in Kirkcaldy in 1930 and trained at the Edinburgh College of Art. She now lives in Aberdeen and on Tiree, where she lives in one of the few remaining thatched cottages. Many of her drawings and studies are made in Tiree, with larger paintings and prints being produced in Aberdeen. Having painted many of the wildest parts of Scotland, Walker's works not only evoke this wildness but also bears witness to the people who have lived in Scotland and shaped the land with their labour.

Protests Greet Israel Lobby's Annual Gathering
March 9, 2018 Staff Archive, Mideast 1
With Palestine remaining an open-air concentration camp under Israeli occupation, protests were held Washington D.C. outside the annual AIPAC convention. Among many others worldwide, increasing numbers of Jews, including in Israel, oppose Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's heavy-handed, violent tactics.
By Mark Anderson
Palestinian activists and supporters, including the Right to Return Coalition (Al-Awda) and the ANSWER Coalition, held several protests before and during the March 4-6 national convention of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC—one of Washington D.C.'s most powerful lobbies.
"For over a century, the Palestinian people have been struggling against colonial rulers for . . . self-determination," noted a news release announcing these groups' opposition to "the racist American Israel Public Affairs Committee."
The large annual AIPAC gathering at the Mount Vernon Convention Center included remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He also met with President Trump at the White House mainly to discuss the perceived Iranian threat to Israel and Trump's stated intent to back out of the Obama-era nuclear deal with Iran.
Netanyahu, hamstrung by scandals at home, has proven himself to be a particularly militant aggressor against Palestinians. Even some liberal Jews, in Israel and abroad, as well as anti-Zionist orthodox rabbis who take part in the Washington protests, disapprove of the Netanyahu regime's documented and disproportionately deadly attacks against Palestinians and the imposition of a police state over them.
A young girl whose plight was recognized during a March 3 "Free Ahed" D.C. rally has come to symbolize that tyranny.
The "Free Ahed" movement refers to Ahed Tamimi, a 16-year-old Palestinian girl reportedly taken in the dead of night by Israeli soldiers. After her mother, Nariman, produced a video that went viral—showing an altercation involving soldiers trying to enter the family dwelling—the girl was arrested.
According to "FreeAhed.org," "Ahed is accused of slapping a soldier and faces 12 charges in Israel's military court, which has a conviction rate of 99%. Ahed's mother is being charged with incitement for posting the video."
Ironically, while the protestors also held a forum on the history of Palestine's liberation struggle, from Israel's 1948 founding to the present, University of Oslo history professor Ken Rossinow, writing March 6 in The Washington Post, of all places, put forth one of the most critical articles of Israel ever to appear in a major mainstream newspaper in recent memory.
Under the jolting headline, "The Dark Roots of AIPAC, 'America's Pro-Israel Lobby' "—underscored by the subheading, "The group was formed to spin positive PR after Israeli atrocities"—Rossinow outlined the lengths to which the Israeli state has gone to stay on good terms with its ultimate benefactors: U.S. taxpayers.
AIPAC's beginnings as the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs, renamed AIPAC in 1959, "reveal the long journey the group has traveled. . . . It once operated in obscurity; now its influence lies partly in its genius for publicity. . . . It has always responded to Israeli actions, working to mitigate their impact on the American scene," Rossinow wrote.
That mitigation keeps the $3.8 billion a year in official U.S. foreign aid flowing mainly to Israel's military, enabling it to continue oppressing Palestinians.
According to Rossinow, in latter 1953 President Dwight Eisenhower "briefly suspended the delivery of U.S. aid to Israel after it violated the terms of a UN-brokered armistice agreement with Syria . . ."
And while Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles tried to get Israel to back down, on Oct. 15, 1953 a special Israeli army unit "had struck into the Jordanian-occupied West Bank and committed a massacre in the Palestinian village of Qibya, killing more than 60 civilians indiscriminately" in retaliation for the reported Oct. 12 murder of a Jewish woman and her two children in Israel.
Rossinow stressed that after the Oct. 12 killings, then-Israeli PM Ben-Gurion and top colleagues chose nearby Qibya "to suffer retribution" in an intentionally disproportionate and brutal manner, launching what has become standard Israeli policy.
In response, yesteryear's American media wasn't so reticent on revealing Israeli terror. Even Time magazine, wrote Rossinow, "carried a shocking account of . . . casual mass murder by Israeli soldiers at Qibya —'slouching . . . smoking and joking.' " Moreover, The New York Times—you read that correctly—published what Rossinow described as "extensive excerpts from a UN commission that refuted Israeli lies about the incident."
Since AIPAC is an unregistered agent of a foreign power, the proper mitigation is to require that AIPAC register as a foreign agent under the 1938 Foreign Agents Registration Act. AIPAC would then have to publicly acknowledge it's working on behalf of a foreign government and submit its income sources for review.

How can America be great again when there are roughly 500.000 homeless fellow Americans across the heartland of which 50,000 have no choice but to defecate on the streets of Los Angeles alone, with the potential of spreading hepatitis, a deadly liver disease. In addition to the countless ghettos strewn with trash found in the major inner cities of America, reeking with thousands of drug addicts, drunks, thieves, murderers, shoplifters, drug lords, pimps, prostitutes, illegal aliens, and filthy raggedy zombie like creatures begging for money at large traffic intersections.
America will never be great again until the effects of human misery in the forms of divorce, drug addition, alcoholism, gambling, homelessness, and prostitution are conquered. Instead of sending billions of dollars every year to the illegitimate state of Israel since its inception in 1948, Donald Trump should take care of the poor and downtrodden of America before sending billions of dollars in aid to Israel, since charity begins at home!

I discuss settlement with our workers' compensation clients every day of the week. Even people we don't represent call on a regular basis to pick my brain about settlement. Each case has its own unique set of variables. No blueprint is available to provide answers.
Some basic principles do apply in every Florida workers' compensation case. It is important for them to be understood.
Neither the employer/carrier (e/c) nor the injured worker/claimant can be forced to settle a Florida workers' compensation case. If there is going to be a settlement, it must come by agreement of the parties.
No judge or jury can order the e/c to pay a lump sum amount for future benefits. While workers' compensation judges can order the e/c to provide some future benefits, the payout only comes as the benefit accrues. For example, the judge can make an e/c responsible for attendant care, but the e/c only pays as the service is provided. Lump sum verdicts are the remedy in civil cases, not in workers' compensation cases.
There are no juries in workers' compensation cases, only workers' compensation judges appointed by the Governor of the state. Juries render verdicts in civil cases.
Injured workers never receive compensation for pain and suffering in Florida workers' compensation cases. Compensation for pain and suffering is exclusive to civil liability cases. While an employer can sometimes be sued for civil damages, it is a rare exception. It is not uncommon, however, for a third party to be sued in civil court for causing the employee's job-related accident. For example, our office is currently prosecuting a civil action for a woman who slipped in wet paint as she was leaving work. The case is against her employer's landlord. We settled the workers' compensation case against her employer (and its insurance company) six months ago.
Settlement value is based on exposure. How much a case is worth at any given moment in time depends on how much the case can reasonably be expected to cost e/c in the future if it does not settle. Since the e/c is not in the business of giving gifts to injured workers, it will never settle a case for more than what it projects as its long term exposure. In fact, the e/c won't even settle for an amount equal to its projected exposure. If a deal is to be made, it will have to be for a fraction of e/c's worst case scenario analysis. The main reason for this is because the e/c earns money on its money. Rather than pay the full amount today, the e/c is better off investing the money and paying it off over time. Another reason why less than full exposure is paid today is because workers' compensation claims die with the claimant. The e/c's obligation to pay benefits ends when the claimant dies. Whatever money e/c has in reserve to meet is future obligations becomes its money with the passing of the claimant.
The players. Each employer, carrier, adjuster and lawyer handles claims differently. Some are friendlier, more generous and cooperative, than others. Some, like many governmental agencies, have tight budgets and require the approval of expenditures at many different levels.
The workers' compensation judge. Some are more "conservative" than others, meaning they favor business over the individual.
Is the employer self-insured or insured privately. Self-insured employers tend to be tighter with the money and otherwise more difficult to deal with than employers who leave claim handling up to private carriers.
Overriding all else are the workers' compensation laws themselves. Thanks to a string of Republican governors, since 1998, and Republican-dominated legislatures, it is fair to say that Florida has one of the least worker friendly workers' compensation systems in the nation. (Jeb Bush was far and away the most damaging of all.) To get a flavor of just how bad our laws are, read this appellate opinion: Westphal v. City of St. Petersburg.

A.J. Marin Arrested for Writing Fact About Gov. Tom Corbett in Chalk on Sidewalk
Earlier this week we talked about Jeff Olson, who is facing 13 years in jail for writing anti-bank messages on a public sidewalk near a Bank of America in San Diego.
In a related story, health care activist, A.J. Marin, was arrested in Pennsylvania for writing on the sidewalk in chalk: "Governor Corbett has health insurance, we should too."
The police citation says that Marin was charged with "disorderly conduct" for writing a "derogatory remark about the governor on the sidewalk," reports Raging Chicken Press.
However, it is not clear how a true statement about Corbett is somehow "derogatory" and illegal.
Gov. Tom Corbett, R-Pa., has health insurance through a state-covered plan, but he opposes Medicaid expansion in Pennsylvania, which would provide health care for 700,000 poor and uninsured residents. Obamacare would fund the expanded Medicaid program for the first three years.
According to Raging Chicken Press, a small group of Pennsylvanians staged a sit-in at the State Capitol on Wednesday. After the protestors were kicked out of the State Capitol, some of them protested outside the governor's mansion.
That's when Marin was arrested for writing his factually-true statement about Corbett in chalk on the sidewalk.

The upright posture of humans that arose ~5-6 million years ago had a much delayed consequence, due to the fact that the pelvis became narrower. This was not a major issue as long as the size of the fetal head was small. With increasing brain expansion over the last ~2 million years this fetal-pelvic disproportion became an increasing problem. It is unclear exactly when the problem became as severe as it currently is. Regardless, it is clearly a great disadvantage to the human birth process, resulting often in injury to both the mother and the baby, or even death. Also, because of this disproportion there is a need for the human fetus to rotate before the head can pass through the pelvis and this results in the baby coming out face-down instead of face-up, as it occurs in apes. This also makes it harder for the mother to visualize the baby and or assist the delivery, something which occurs in the apes. Given how maladaptive this feature is in terms of survival of both the young mothers and babies it is surprising that increasing size of the head continued, in the face of this literal "bottleneck". Meanwhile, many of the features of modern human behavior appear much later in the archeaological record. Thus the earlier increase in brain size had some other unknown advantage that outweighed the big disadvantage caused by the fetal pelvic disproportion.

Assam stir may yield new political party
The protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) in Assam may be ended in the genesis of a new political party to safeguard the interests of the State.
The new political party will be branched out of a student's union is considered as a brand new political phenomenon according to political pundits. It was popular singer Zubeen Garg who first suggested the idea of forming a new political party. Soon, AASU president Dipanka Nath seconded him saying, "We are now thinking in that direction". He also informed that the new idea is being discussed with Silpi Samaj (artists' forum).
"AASU will remain apolitical. But in the interest of the people, along with Silpi Samaj we are ready to go in the direction of forming a new party," Nath said.
The All Assam Students' Union (AASU) has hinted the wish of forming a new regional political party.
Some are calling the move AGP 2.0, a reference to how leaders of the AASU and other organisations batting for the rights of the indigenous people had formed the Asom Gana Parishad in 1985 after the end of the six-year Assam Agitation for deporting foreigners. The AASU had spearheaded that agitation.
The AGP, which defeated the Congress in the 1985 Assembly polls to be in power, is now a ruling ally of the BJP. The protesters view the AGP as "traitors" for supporting the BJP on the CAA.
"The situation in Assam today demands a political alternative formed with people who love the State and can protect the land and Assamese culture and language," AASU president Dipanka Kumar Nath said.
"We are exploring how best to go about a political alternative that will have no truck with the AGP and the BJP as well as the Congress. The AGP betrayed the people by backing the CAA, the BJP wants to rehabilitate the very immigrants it had vowed to eject ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha polls while the Congress is only interested in vote-bank politics, particularly with the migrant Muslims," Mr. Nath said.

This course will provide a sustained and in-depth analysis of a central overarching theme in legal theory. The theme may vary from year to year. The inaugural theme is Law and the common good. The theme will be explored through a range of material and disciplinary approaches. These will include conventional scholarly texts in law, politics and philosophy, but will also draw on nonstandard resources including art, poetry, film, and literature. The purpose of the thematic approach is to provide a coherence to the study of several perennial problems in legal theory. By working in a sustained way through a range of questions and perspectives associated with the overarching theme, students will gain a deeper knowledge of legal theoretical issues.
The theme Law and the common good has been chosen to allow students to engage with certain key claims that are made on behalf of contemporary law and legal institutions, namely that they strive to or do in fact embody a common good or set of goods. Whether and how that embodiment operates, according to what conditions and under what limitations are questions to be explored through a series of engagements with texts, contexts, representations and contestations. Topics to be covered under the theme may include: historical lineages of law and the common good: Aristotle and Aquinas; measuring the common good: rights v utility; how can law reflect the 9 common good; pluralism, democracy and the common good; contesting commonality: whose commons, which goods; identity and voice: protest and political trials; overcoming social division: memory and the politics of reconciliation; authority, obligation and allegiance; the new commons and the global public good. This list is not exhaustive.
[Note: Students are advised to study "LLAW3001 Introduction to legal theory" (a compulsory course in the LLB curriculum) before studying "LALS3006 Advanced legal theory".]
