George Woodcock's Anarchism; a history of libertarian ideas and movements (Harmondsworth: Penguin Books 1962) is one of the standard books. It sometimes gives the impression that the author's ideas are in the condition of a supersaturated solution, wanting nothing but a tap for them to crystallize out as systematic ideology. Here we present some of these passages as extracts, paraphrased and abbreviated, with occasional comments (all in brackets to avoid confusion) but no attempt to work the material into an article. Woodcock also presents views very different from those of s.i., and here these have been ignored; anybody wanting a balanced view of the book should read it for themselves. (The initial figures are page-numbers).
7. Anarchism is not simple, and has been more widely misunderstood than most movements or doctrines.
7. Anarchists cannot be defined as repudiators and opponents of authority; although they all do these things, non-anarchists also do them. Anarchist rebellion is distinguished by being intended as part of the transition to a more desirable society.
8-9. Originally used (during the French Revolution) as a term of denigration "anarchist" came (like Christian, Quaker, and Tory) to be welcomed by its targets, Proudhon first among them.
11. Anarchists tend to emphasise the negative side of their doctrine; the value of anarchist writings lies more in their cutting analysis of authoritarian institutions than in any account of what is intended to supplant them.
13. Saying (note the four qualifying terms in a phrase of ten words) "Anarchists may be substantially agreed on their ultimate general aims," he is definite about their tactical disagreements.
13-14. Anarchists generally have never adopted violence as a policy. To the extent that anarchists use this method at all it is a feature they share with members of other movements. For their celebrities anarchists prefer writers to fighters.
19. All anarchists agree that human beings naturally possess the qualities needed for living together in peaceful co-operation. (They are doubtless right, but the evidence is also strong for natural possession of the contrary qualities; human beings are distinguished from animals by their high degree of freedom from genetic limitation, their wide range of potentiality).
21. The visitor to the golden future Morris described in News from Nowhere returned to the anarchist actuality of "the acrimonious debates that were wrecking the Socialist League" (and still wrack the anarchist movement today).
24. Anarchism is not, in the sense that Marxism claims to be, a class movement. Bakunin, Kropotkin, Cherkesov, Tolstoy, Malatesta and Cafiero all came from either the country gentry or the aristocracy and Godwin, Nieuwenhuis and Faure were former clergymen or seminarists.
28. Anarchism repudiates political action while being itself a part of politics, conditioned by the authoritarian institutions it opposes. Dismissing all efforts to achieve radical change by reformist means as futile, and noting that all attempts at coercive change have resulted in dictatorships, anarchism holds that nothing less than complete freedom in one step is acceptable, even while recognising that this may be impossible.
72. Woodcock reports, apparently with approval, Godwin's belief that if everybody listened to reason the result would be concord. (Yet within the Conservative Party, with its scepticism of reason, the level of intellectual concord is notably higher than within the anarchist movement where, he tells us, reason and conscience reign supreme).
368. Having worked for a generation against established authority, striving for the anarchist Armageddon with the liberated society to follow, the Spanish anarchists found themselves, in late 1936, still so far from their goal that they could resist the imposition of tyranny only by alliance with the authoritarian parties they had been opposing. Not only reformist members of the "mass" CNT but also the insurrectionist leader of the Iberian Anarchist Federation (FAI) joined the government, he becoming Minister of Justice and seeming to enjoy his position. The FAI Peninsular Committee publicly justified these actions. The May days in Barcelona, the governmental coup that destroyed anarchist influence in Catalonia, took place when anarchist ministers were in the government.
371. Woodcock quotes Vernon Richards' admiration of the Catalan workers' achievement in maintaining transportation, public services and bread supplies. (They had operated these businesses before, why should they have been unable to continue? The surprising thing is that both Woodcock and Richards should think that their doing so in some way demonstrated the practicality of anarchism, while well aware that they were working under a government).
REVIEWING Wolfgang Iser's Prospecting: from reader response to literary anthology (Johns Hopkins UP, TLS 16 Mar) Terry Eagleton reports the author's contention that (to translate what he says into s.i.) meaning does not lie passively within the text, waiting to be extracted, but results from interpretation in accordance with the reader's assumptions. Eagleton protests that the text must play the predominant part, for otherwise "there would be as many Emmas as there are readers." That difficulty weakens with the recognition that the assumptions, with which each reader interprets a text, are in their main features not peculiar to that reader. The many readers have only a limited number of substantially different basic assumptions between them, resulting in as many Emmas as readers certainly, but ones clearly belonging to a small number of families.
ROAD accidents? By protecting drivers from the worst possible consequences of a collision current practices encourage them. Greater exposure for the drivers – no seat belts, hard edges around them and dangerous glass in their part of the windscreen – would mean greater safety for their potential victims. One reason for protecting drivers is to reduce the load on medical services, but that can be covered by extending third-party insurance.
AGAINST the belief that small societies offer freedom, anthropologists consistently note the restrictions imposed by hunter-gatherer communities upon the thought and speech of their members; this feature has survived. In The Neon Bible John Kennedy Toole tells of small-town life in the American deep South in the 1940s, and his child-narrator describes the crushing weight of uniformity. Everybody had to conform in doing, talking, liking and hating, to be different was to be forced to leave. (Based on a review in TLS 30 Mar).

Heritage Train Weekend show a success
SCOTT TRUXELL/independent writer
Hundreds of model train enthusiasts of all ages flocked to the Van Wert County Fairgrounds over the weekend for the annual Heritage Railroad Weekend Model Railroad Show and Swap.
A circus display is part of a railroad layout featured over the weekend during the Heritage Railroad event held at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds. Scott Truxell/Van Wert independent
Working layouts, along with dozens of vendors looking to buy, sell, and trade all different kinds of model train paraphernalia were stationed in three different buildings on Saturday and Sunday, making for a train lovers paradise. The show also featured "The Banana Express", a train display with plenty of bananas for the kids.
While looking over the late Sunday morning crowd, show spokesman Chuck White deemed the yearly event a big success.
"Attendance is better than expected," White stated. "Saturday was our best attendance ever, and we call Sunday the day for our 'stroller' crowd, or the church crowd."
"It's phenomenal that we have a show this size in a town the size of Van Wert, and in the summertime," White added. "You don't do model railroad shows during the summer, but here we are in the middle of summer with a pretty successful train show."
White also said he received mostly positive feedback from people at the show as well as vendors.
"I think the public in general likes what they see, but the vendors – it depends on who you talk to," White said. "Some have said they're doing great and they'll be back next year."
"That's the key — if they do decent, they'll come back, and while I do get some complaints, they keep coming back," White added.
One vendor, who wished to remain anonymous, was pleased with the turnout.
"A lot of people have looked at my table, and I've been able to sell a good number of my items," the man said. "I'll definitely be back."
Preparations for next year's show are already underway, and organizers are planning even more enhancements.
"It's probably as big as we're going to be, and we hope to have a fourth building in use," White said. "We're also talking about having a Lego layout as one of the displays next year,"
He noted something else big is planned for 2019, with more details coming once plans are finalized with another organization.

The History of The Constellation Shipwreck
Bermudian salvage missions recovered much of the Constellation's cargo, including sealed glass vials of medicine which were completely intact. These would go on to inspire 'Jaws' author Peter Benchley to write his second book.
Early History
The boat had two names. It was originally christened as Sally Persis Noyes to honour the daughter of Walter D. Noyes, a lumber dealer whose wares the ship frequently transported. The Thurlow Intercoastal Company owned the ship, and it was part of the largest fleet of schooners in the world at the time. Sally Persis Noyes largely transported coal and lumber in its early days. Thurlow, even through financial crises caused by poor investments and the Great Depression, did not sell it.
In 1932, the ship underwent a total facelift to become a nautical school ship. It was installed with modern plumbing, a spacious lounge, dining saloon, stately rooms and new rigging, and outfitted lavishly for 50 passengers. At this time, it was renamed The Constellation. However, it didn't attract many customers as a nautical school, and eventually went back to carrying cargo.
How Did It Sink?
The ship hit a patch of Bermuda-triangle-worthy weather and began taking on water while it headed from New York to La Guira, Venezuela. The captain rerouted the trip, along with its 2,000 tons of cargo, to Bermuda for repairs. While waiting for a pilot boat to guide them through the reefs, the ship was blown into a reef by a gust of wind and wrecked; fortunately, all the crew survived.
What Was it Carrying?
The ship was carrying bags of cement, antique furniture, salad dressing, cosmetics, medical supplies, and cases of Johnny Walker whiskey. Some of the salvaged material was sold at auction in Bermuda, but they didn't get all of it. The U.S. Navy retrieved 700 cases of whisky, and later Bermudian divers collected some of the relics for the Bermuda Maritime Museum.
Some boat parts were salvaged, including masts, standing and running rigging, and sails. However, much of the cargo in the flooded hold was lost. They did find lead crucifixes, yo-yos, and glassware.
The medical cargo included glass ampoules of iodine, opium, penicillin, insulin, adrenaline, anti-tetanus serum, and morphine. This medicinal haul was the inspiration for the novel 'The Deep,' the second book by 'Jaws' author, Peter Benchley.
What Can You See of the Ship Now?
Do you ever take Paget Ferry? If you are at the Belmont ferry stop, you'll be able to see the 40ft remains of part of the Constellation's mast resting below Harbour Road.
The cement bags provide refuge for sergeant majors to lay their eggs, and attract grazing parrotfish because algae grow upon them. Trumpetfish can be seen hunting juvenile parrotfish among the bags. You might also see chubs, barracuda, and, if you're lucky, grouper.
Some say that the Constellation was sunk not by the coral reefs, but by the bow of the Montana, a ship that had wrecked in almost the exact same spot 100 years earlier.

Clean Energy Tax Credits Give Congress An Opportunity for Climate Progress
By Renee StoneVice President, Climate
Great Gray Owl. Photo: Melyssa St. Michael/Audubon Photography Awards
As 2019 comes to a close, Congress has one more chance to pass legislation that will help fight climate change. Now, as part of a late-December continuing resolution—a short-term funding package to keep the government open—Congress can pass extensions for clean energy tax credits that support carbon-free energy. The market share of technology like wind, solar, geothermal, and electric vehicles has grown in large part because of support from tax incentives. In turn, that technology is creating jobs, making energy more affordable, and pushing the transition toward an economy that runs entirely on clean energy. These tax credits are a critical tool to continue that momentum.
Clean energy benefits birds and people. In October, Audubon released a new scientific report called Survival by Degrees, which showed that if 3 degrees C of warming occurs, 64% of North American birds will become vulnerable to extinction. This list includes iconic species like the Common Loon, the Mountain Bluebird, and the Wood Thrush. Outcomes improve, however, for 76% of at-risk species if warming is held to just 1.5 degrees C, a threshold that requires that the world reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century. With just a couple decades left to transform the economy, investment in solutions must begin now.
This fall, Audubon advocates from across the country arrived in Washington, DC, holding over 100 meetings with Members of Congress from 19 states to talk about this new research and policies like the clean energy tax incentives. Investment in clean energy has helped the industry grow substantially, creating over 111,000 and 334,000 jobs in the wind and solar industries, respectively, in turn generating economic benefits in the surrounding communities. Technology has improved as more projects have gotten on the ground, and so the average price of electricity from clean energy has also substantially lowered over the last decade
Audubon has communicated to Congress that renewal and expansion of these tax credits must be a priority for 2019. Audubon joined conservation and industry groups asking for action on the tax credits. On November 12, Audubon President and CEO, David Yarnold, sent a letter to the committees in the House and Senate that write tax legislation, asking that clean energy tax incentives be made a priority before the end of the year. In the letter, we asked for a number of provisions including:
Expanding eligibility of energy storage by allowing the technology to qualify under the investment tax credit
Extension of the solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for five years, which is set to begin sundowning in 2020
Support for onshore and offshore wind energy, including through extension of the Production Tax Credit (PTC), which is set to expire at the end of 2019
Support for carbon capture and sequestration through an extension of the 45Q tax credit, especially for activities that result in permanent geologic storage
Any other incentives that will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including those that support zero-emissions vehicles and energy efficiency
Even if efforts this month fail, pressure is building for Congress to get a clean energy tax package passed. At the end of October, 166 House members signed a "Dear Colleague" letter urging leadership to get it done. Then, in early November, a the House Ways & Means Committee Majority, led by Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) and Rep. Richard Neal (D-MA) introduced the Growing Renewable Energy and Efficiency Now (GREEN) Act. The bill provides an extension for a number of clean energy tax incentives through 2024, including support for wind, solar, geothermal, standalone energy storage technology, and carbon capture, and a number of provisions for building energy efficiency, electric vehicles, and environmental justice programs.
Audubon welcomes this enthusiasm will work with Congress to keep the momentum going. While there is much work to be done to make the transition to clean energy economy, policies like these tax credits can begin to set the stage for the clean energy transformation needed to help birds and people.
"The views expressed in user comments do not reflect the views of Audubon. Audubon does not participate in political campaigns, nor do we support or oppose candidates."


The playing field isn't always fair. Sometimes one team has an unmatched advantage over its competitors that doesn't just tip the scale but topples it over completely. In the case of East Side King, they've become quite the East 6th Street powerhouse and taking over the neighborhood. They have three locations each serving up different menus all focused around the same Asian cuisine. So what's their secret weapon? Paul Qui, as in the executive chef at the wildly popular Uchiko and contestant on Top Chef: Texas.
You can see the inventiveness just by reading the menu that parallels the menu at the fancy (and much more expensive) Uchiko. Although Qui doesn't work at any of the trailers (at least not to my knowledge), clearly it's his food and his ideas that are making it into the to-go containers of each order. On my visit to the Grackle location I grabbed two items to-go, both on the recommendation of the definitely-not-Paul-Qui guy in the trailer.

taste "apple"; it just gives a little sweetness to the rest of the spicy/salty ingredients. In terms of the main ingredient, the one part of pork belly that I can't quite get over is the stark contrast of tender meat and chewy fat. I realize it's more of a mental thing since the fat brings another level of flavor, but my brain can't get past it. That said, ESK makes some awesome twice cooked porkbelly.
Next was the #5: Nasu Rice. It sounds innocent enough: Grilled Japanese eggplant, sweet miso, sesame seed, green onion on rice. What you get is a flavor bomb of tastebud blowing proportions. The scallop-looking thing in the poorly taken picture is the Japanese eggplant, and combined with the rice and seasonsings, is definitely (and admittedly unexpected) one of the best things you'll ever put in your mouth. And it was $5. And it came from a trailer. And it was glorious. It's one of those things that will be impossible not to order on every visit, even with the goal of trying everything on the menu.
I've eaten at a lot of trailers here in Austin, and I'm going to say, at the time of writing this, the food I tasted at ESK was the best trailer food I've had. Epic statement for epic food. They raised the bar for all trailer food, and food in general. I need to make some immediate plans to try all 30 menu items across the three trailers pronto. And you should too! It's your civic duty.


In a 53-46 vote, the Senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. The Statement of Purpose from the Bill reads: "To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty." The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S. and had language that would have implemented an international gun registry, now get this, on all private guns and ammo.
Please send this to SOMEONE!
Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) are showing signs they have the President's back.
A little over a week ago, President Barack Obama proposed even more Executive Actions on gun control.
Now, Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) are showing signs they have the President's back.
That's because they're pushing a brand new anti-gun bill.
Make no mistake . . .
. . . The President's agenda has nothing to do with mental health, or keeping firearms out of the hands of criminals.
It has everything to do with labeling YOU mentally ill in order to strip you of your right to keep and bear arms without due process.
The goal is simple: seek treatment and lose your gun rights.
So why do Senators Cornyn and Graham have Obama's Back?
It's simple. Let me explain . . .
Senators Cornyn and Graham are feeling the heat from the radical anti-gun left.
Instead of standing firm for your Second Amendment rights, they're desperate to appear "sensible" and "open to compromise" even if it means putting you and I at risk.
But they're really playing right into the President's hands.
Under that Graham-Cornyn bill, virtually any "board, commission, or other adjudicative body" would have the ability to strip you of your gun rights.
One of these so-called "authorities" could order an otherwise law-abiding individual to see a mental health counselor and strip them their gun rights for good.
If your condition is "severe" enough that an hour of outpatient treatment a week is all you need — you could become a "prohibited person" at the whim of some anti-gun bureaucrat.
The Graham-Cornyn bill will further erode your Second Amendment rights and strip the due process rights of law-abiding Americans.
This isn't about being violent or unstable; this is about losing your rights because of something as simple as a stress-induced visit to a therapist.
According to the National Institute of Health, nearly half of all Americans will suffer from a "mental health" issue at some point in their life.
And the simple fact is the gun-grabbers know this.
The Obama Administration has been pushing for these gun control expansions in the name of "mental health" for some time.
It's clear they will do anything to take guns out of the hands of law-abiding Americans.
Even if it means harming the rights of thousands — or millions — of law-abiding, vulnerable and non-violent individuals.
Over 175,000 veterans have already lost their gun rights, simply by seeking treatment.
They aren't even required to give you a trial.
It now includes "other lawful authorities," which could include ANY mental health professional in connection with a government program.
Are Senators Cornyn and Graham trying to strip away the gun rights of millions of Americans?
But that's exactly what insiders are warning that Senators Cornyn and Graham could be doing with their latest proposal.
That's why I need you to contact Senators Cornyn and Graham IMMEDIATELY.
Tell them not to endanger the gun rights of millions of Americans.
*** You can reach Senator Cornyn at (202) 224-2934.
*** And Senator Graham at (202) 224-5972.
Please let the Senators know how important this issue is and that you will be counting on them to stand up for gun owners.
There's no time to waste. Please act now.
Next Wednesday, the House Republican leadership will announce a set of "principles" for immigration reform. Supposedly, if these "principles" are not well-received, the House will shelve the issue for the remainder of the year.
Immigration reform will add over 8,000,000 anti-gun voters to the voting rolls. There may be as many as 11.5 million persons illegally in the United States. And, a Pew poll from last year indicated that if illegal immigrants were given citizenship, they would vote for liberal, anti-gun candidates by an 8-to-1 margin.
This is exactly what happened to California — which was once a Red State. Because of the Simpson-Mazzoli amnesty bill of 1986, the state lurched violently to the left and now can't pass gun control restrictions fast enough.
If this were to happen at the national level, we would lose the ability to stop massive gun bans and gun registration schemes. And all of this occurs at a time when a Fox poll shows the American people oppose Obama's immigration policies by a margin of 36% to 54%.
The first reality is this: If the House passes ANYTHING, the Senate will tack on its amnesty bill and send it to conference. And the national conversation will turn off of ObamaCare and onto immigration.
They will have created the biggest and most motivated Obama-loving movement in the country — devoted to electing anti-gun politicians and retaining Harry Reid's control of the Senate.
What will Republicans get, in exchange for creating an army of pro-Obama election warriors?
The bottom line is that there is a reason why Barack Obama and his "puppet press" have been campaigning for a year to force the Republican House to wade into "immigration reform." It is nothing but benefits for anti-gun politicians, and nothing but pain for pro-gun legislators.
Who would be stupid enough to inflict that level of pain on themselves?
ACTION: Contact your Representative. If he is a Republican, the pre-written letter will ask him to reject the ridiculous "immigration principles" being hawked by the leadership — principles that will eventually destroy the pro-gun movement in America. The pre-written letter for Democrats is a generic opposition letter.
ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE: Remember that clicking on the first "submit" button on the GOA Engage site (where you input your name and address), only submits your information so that your correct legislators can be identified. Hence, the first "submit" button does not actually send your letter. Instead, it brings you to the next page where you can actually review the pre-written letter. The second "submit" button actually sends the letter.
Just as Obamacare isn't at all about healthcare, immigration reform is not about immigration.
In a "Friday media dump" designed to conceal its actions by releasing them after the press has left town, the Obama administration last week announced its intention to push two regulations which would massively expand the federal gun bans imposed on Americans.
The first proposal — from HHS — would effectively say that federal health privacy laws (HIPAA) do not apply to the Second Amendment.
This isn't the first time Obama has stuck his leering eyeballs into Americans' medical records and private affairs. From its Orwellian government database on Americans' health records to its voracious seizure of Americans' phone records, the Obama administration can't trample our personal privacy fast enough.
But HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' efforts to turn over personal mental health information to the government's gun ban blacklist (NICS) is particularly loathsome.
More than 150,000 law-abiding veterans have already lost their constitutional rights — with no due process whatsoever — because they consulted a VA therapist about a traumatic incident in Iraq, Afghanistan, or the Balkans.
Under these new regulations, tens of millions of police and firemen with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder — or people who, as kids, were diagnosed with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder — could lose their constitutional rights without any court order, merely because they sought a benefit under a federal program.
And you want to know the hidden agenda behind DOJ's "commitment" language? We have a member in a rabidly anti-gun state. Many years ago, he was picked up by police and, without the approval of any court, sent to a mental facility overnight for "observation." The mental facility found no mental problems and promptly released him.
However, many years later, as a result of that state's anti-gun crackdown (which Holder is now trying to emulate), his name has been sent to the NICS system. He has lost his constitutional rights, and it will cost him tens of thousands of dollars (which he does not have) to get them back.
We believe this is unlawful under current law. But it will probably not be unlawful by the end of Holder's regulatory proceedings.
But herein lies the problem: When Americans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder realize that nothing they say to their therapist is really confidential, they're not going to be seeking treatment for very long.
But there's an even more fundamental problem: Last winter, Barack Obama decided that he would devote the first half of 2013 to the destruction of what he and his supporters characterized as "the gun manufacturers' lobby." Tens of millions of Americans let their senators and representatives know that they found Obama's views and Obama's legislation to be odious and offensive. As a result, it was rejected in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
So now, as has happened so many times before, Obama has set himself "above the law." What could not be done using constitutional processes is now being slammed through by regulatory fiat.
The Justice Department and HHS regulations will now be submitted for "public comment and review." But, as with everything else Holder and Sebelius do, this is little more than a sham.
Rather, our efforts will be to get Congress to defund these unconstitutional efforts. And we will start by submitting proposed legislation to friendly senators and representatives.
ACTION: Click here to contact your senators and representative. Ask them to cosponsor and support legislation which will block Barack Obama's unconstitutional gun bans.
This year might have marked the high point for the Left in Colorado.After a decade of well-funded, well-coordinated advances, the Left got most of what they wanted. With renewal energy mandates on rural electrics, attacks on fracking, legalizing voter mischief, and anti-gun laws, 2013 should have been the Left's proudest moment. But it wasn't.Thanks in great part to the multi-year efforts of the Independence Institute, anti-guns bills–like a ban on concealed-carry on campus–failed. The Left's massive "for the children" educational tax increase, Amendment 66, went down in humiliating defeat. Education reformers were re-elected in Douglas County, and reformers were swept into office in Jefferson County and Loveland school district. And for the first time in state history, State Senators were recalled.The message of 2013 was loud and clear – real Coloradans, not urban elitists funded by Michael Bloomberg, control the destiny of this freedom-loving state. Could this be the turning point in Colorado history? Well, that largely depends on you. Those who have invested in Independence over the years made these 2013 victories and so many others possible. We thank them all. I want to be thanking you in coming years for even greater victories that YOU made possible by investing TODAY!

2013 in review: Not to bad considering that I am on the truck and can't post all that much!

For the first time, probably, the effect of Vitamin D on seasonal influenza has been studied in a controlled randomized trial. In a recent Japanese study, school children were given 1200 IU of Vitamin D3 daily, or a placebo, during the winter, from December 2008 through March 2009. Influenza A occurred in 18 of 167 (10.8%) children in the vitamin D3 group compared with 31 of 167 (18.6%) children in the placebo group.
We are still waiting for the results of a study launched by The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), where the the role of vitamin D in protection against swine flu, is studied. As far as I can see, there is no information available about this study at the PHAC web site or that of the McMaster University, and the only information available is that in a letter sent to NutraIngredients-USA in August 2009.
Låter ju bra med D-vitamin, får väl bli en extra lång tur till LPA i vinter då.
aha, du är tillbaka i bloggvärlden igen. Las Palmas står sig verkligen som en praktisk och bra semesterplats och där finns sol, bra mat och saker att göra. För min egen del har jag ingen plan klar för LPA i år, det beror på om det blir någon annan långvandring under hösten.


Virtual reality is used in both the medical and dentistry fields where it has several advantages over conventional systems. The dental applications of this technology are discussed in more detail in our virtual reality in dentistry article.
But what about medicine you ask yourself? We know virtual reality is used in surgery, especially the field of robotic surgery where it has proven to be very successful. This is discussed further in our virtual reality in surgery article.
This article concentrates on virtual reality within a medical setting. For example, it is used for visualisation purposes when formulating a diagnosis. Reaching a diagnosis means conducting a series of tests which produce complex sets of data. But virtual reality can be used to create a visual explanation of this data which is easier to read, understand and interpret.
It is also used when training front line professionals, e.g. first responders to deal with small and large scale emergencies. A series of virtual environments can be developed which contain different scenarios, e.g. road traffic accident which the first responders have to deal with. This is where they learn decision making skills as well as the practical hands on skills required in this type of situation. Another option is disaster training such as a chemical spillage or an outbreak of an infectious disease which often results in large numbers of casualties.
Virtual reality teaches these professionals how to respond in such an emergency where time is of the essence. Plus they can do without the risk of harm to themselves or their patients. This type of training system can be used time and time again and with the option to adjust according to the skill level and experience of the participants.
Plus a scenario can be created in a virtual environment which is not possible in the real world, for example a simulation of a major accident on a section of the UK's motorways system. This would not be allowed for a variety of reasons but could be replicated in a virtual world. This and other scenarios provide a realistic depiction of an accident which the participant interacts with via a head mounted display (HMD), data glove and/or input device. This enables them to learn about the importance of teamwork and appropriate behaviour at that time.
Other uses include rehabilitation, phobia therapy and preventative medicine.

are an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean, located over 250 nautical miles (460 km; 290 mi) east of the coast of mainland South America. The archipelago comprises East Falkland, West Falkland, and 776 lesser islands. Stanley, the capital and only city, is on East Falkland. The islands are a self-governing British Overseas Territory, with the United Kingdom responsible for its defence and foreign affairs. Controversy exists over the Falklands' original discovery and subsequent colonisation by Europeans. At various times there have been French, British, Spanish, and Argentine settlements. Britain re-established its rule in 1833, yet the islands continue to be claimed by Argentina. In 1982, following Argentina's invasion of the islands, the two-month-long undeclared Falklands War between both countries resulted in the withdrawal of Argentine forces. Despite its defeat, Argentina still pursues its claim; however, UK policy supports the islanders' self-determination to remain British citizens. The population, estimated at 3,140, primarily consists of Falkland Islanders, the majority of British descent. Other ethnicities include French, Gibraltarian, and Scandinavian. Immigration from the United Kingdom, Saint Helena, and Chile has reversed a former population decline. The predominant and official language is English. Under the British Nationality Act of 1983, Falkland Islanders are British citizens. Both major islands have mountain ranges, both reaching to around 700 metres (2,300 ft). The islands are home to large bird populations, although many no longer breed on the main islands due to introduced species. Major economic activities include fishing, tourism, and sheep farming (used for high-quality wool exports). Oil exploration, licensed by the Falkland Islands Government, remains controversial as a result of maritime disputes with Argentina.

Q: Is there a difference between creating a variable and creating a loop? I am trying to understand whether a Python for loop would call an action multiple times if you put the action in the loop directly.
For example, take these two similar functions.
a)
def get_cat(breed_name):
    from requests import get
    from json import loads
    api_key = "***"
    limit = 5
    params = {"breed_name": breed_name,
              "api_key": api_key,
              "limit": limit}
    url = "https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search"
    response = get(
        url=url,
        params=params)
    cats = loads(response.content)
    for cat in cats:
        print(cat["url"])

b)
def get_cat(breed_name):
    from requests import get
    from json import loads
    api_key = "***"
    limit = 5
    params = {"breed_name": breed_name,
              "api_key": api_key,
              "limit": limit}
    url = "https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search"
    for cat in loads(get(url=url, params=params).content):
        print(cat["url"])

Personally, I feel that separating out the variables as in a) is easier to read, so I always do this. This also feels like a more standard way to write Python.
You will note that in b) the response and cats vars have been smushed together in the declaration of the for loop. Would loads(get(url=url, params=params).content) be called multiple times or just the once?

Stephen Colbert-Inspired Site "Truthy" Is a Swift Boat Torpedo for Twitter Users
In studying "the science of truthiness," Indiana University researchers crunch massive amounts of Twitter data and discover where memes get their start. With the click of a simple "Truthy" button, users can flag suspected misinformation.
Truthy.Indiana
By David Zax 1 minute Read
'Tis the season, sadly, for misinformation. With elections coming up on November 2nd, we can pretty much expect the Internet to be clogged with falsehoods, outright lies, and general wrongness. But the Internet is supposedly getting smarter, right? Shouldn't there be a way to flag spurious claims that Candidate X is a Zoroastrian, that Candidate Y hates puppies, and that Candidate Z was born on the moon?
Researchers at Indiana University have just launched Truthy.indiana.edu, which they humbly declare a "a sophisticated new Twitter-based research tool that combines data mining, social network analysis and crowdsourcing to uncover deceptive tactics and misinformation leading up to the Nov. 2 elections."
What the Truthy team does is sift through thousands of tweets to figure out how a certain meme was born and how it grew. Drilling down through statistics helps Truthy draw a picture of a meme's history. (See top image.)
"The diffusion networks are calculated, and the images are generated automatically for every meme that we track. Memes are tracked based on criteria including whether we think they are relevant to a theme (currently the elections), whether they are gathering a significant share of the volume of tweets (attention), and whether we observe a burst in volume of tweets about the meme," Indiana's Filippo Menczer, who specializes in the modeling of meme explosions, tells Fast Company. "All of these decisions are
done algorithmically, in real time, based on data from the Twitter
streaming API."
The Truthy website also offers "diffusion network images" to help visualize the data they crunch, graphically representing the size and flow of the meme. Below, for instance, an animation of the diffusion network for Lady Gaga.
Truthy.indiana.edu should be a particularly useful tool to spot so-called "astroturfing," i.e., when PR teams inject memes into the discourse by disguising them as genuine "grassroots" behavior. With the simple click of a button "Truthy" button, users can call BS on claims that smell fishy.
The Truthy team seems to have plans of their own for how to make their information-purity campaign take off in popularity. They named their site, after all, after a word coined by Stephen Colbert. A recent tweet from Truthy was directed at the comedian: "@StephenAtHome check out http//truthy.indiana.edu for the science of #truthiness." Did it get through?
"That would be fun," Menczer says. "Actually I just heard that the university has
been in contact with the Colbert show."

Efforts underway to help Rohingya weather next monsoon season
VOA News 04/06/19, 09:46
FILE - Rohingya refugee women carry baskets of dried out mud from the riverbed to help raise the ground level of their camp in preparation for monsoon season, in Shamlapur refugee camp, in Cox
GENEVA — The U.N. refugee agency UNHCR and partners are scaling up emergency preparations to help hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees withstand a second monsoon season in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.
Heavy rains are expected in a few weeks. Aid agencies are racing to shore up flimsy shelters and stabilize shaky terrain before the monsoon season begins. UNHCR says the work ahead is monumental but preparations are off to a better start this year than last.
Aid agencies last year had to deal with the massive influx of more than 740,000 Rohingya refugees fleeing violence and persecution in Myanmar. They arrived over a period of a few months, straining local resources and requiring vast amounts of humanitarian assistance.
However, UNHCR spokesman Andrej Mahecic told VOA there is a clear danger of this untenable situation becoming an emergency within an emergency if the vulnerable camp site is hit by a cyclone or torrential rains. Thus, counter-measures have been taken.
"Thanks to the mitigating work that has been done and there was some heavy engineering work in terms of flattening of the land, flattening of the hills…A lot of the work has also gone into shoring up the steep hills to prevent the landslides. We have also moved more than 26,000 refugees to safer locations," he said.
Mahecic said all the mitigating work has paid off. He said the refugee settlement made it through last year's monsoon season without any major incidents or substantial loss of life.
"However, just to be clear how precarious the situation is there, there are assessments that if the camps were to be hit frontally by a cyclone, that possibly up to 70 percent of the shelters would be destroyed," Mahecic said.
Besides strengthening camp infrastructure, Mahecic said Rohingya refugees are being trained as first responders ahead of the cyclone. He said aid workers are going from house to house to inform people about the safety measures they need to take to better protect themselves from the monsoon.
During the monsoons, he said volunteer first responders will tell families how to prevent the spread of disease and will offer counseling in case of need.

Andrews-Duncan House, 9 September 2018. 8×10 tintype by author.
The long-languishing Andrews-Duncan House at 407 North Blount Street may have shed its last window screen, tossed its last corbel, and dropped its last roof slate. After years on the market, the State of North Carolina has a pending buyer for this property. The new owner plans to restore the house and what is even better… No wedding venue, office, or event space here—incredibly, the new owner intends to live in the seven bedroom, six bathroom, 10,000-plus square-foot mansion.
N.53.15.4971 From the Albert Barden Collection, State Archives; Raleigh, NC.
Pictured is Morgan Street looking west at its intersection with Boylan Avenue. The large house seen on the left is roughly the same location as present-day Planned Parenthood. The house seen on the right (704 West Morgan Street) is extant, although modified. Likely sometime in the 1950s it gained asbestos siding and lost its porch. Thankfully, its Italianate eave brackets remain to this day.
Incredibly, this photograph wasn't taken in the icy grips of winter—it was taken in spring, Easter Sunday of 1915 to be exact, after a destructive and record breaking weather event that crippled North Carolina and several other states. The front page of the News and Observer read, "Raleigh Flounesed [sic] In Grasp of Its Greatest Blizzard." It was the deepest snow seen so late in spring and it decimated North Carolina's electrical and communications infrastructure—toppling telegraph, telephone and power poles. The streetcars halted and the Edison bulbs dimmed as a result of high winds and wet snow falling continuously for over 17 hours. The newly formed Carolina Power and Light was the supplier of the juice and tasked with restoring service. To begin surveying the damage in Raleigh, CP&L sent employees and a photographer (possibly Cyrus P. Wharton or Manly Tyree) out to document the damage and cut live wires. They set out from the central substation at Method Road and headed east on Hillsborough Street, making photographs and surveying the destruction.
The entire series of photographs taken that day can be seen here. This photograph was the last of the series to be identified, being confirmed just last week using the 1914 Sanborn Insurance map and a healthy amount of study. In fact, there is an early historical marker in this photo. Can anyone spot it?

The Wake County Historical Society will host Goodnight Raleigh's publisher and history editor, Raleigh Boy, this weekend for a photo presentation on Raleigh's lost architectural treasures. The event will take place at the Mordecai Historic Park Visitors Center, corner Cedar St. and Wake Forest Rd., Sunday, April 23, at 2.00 pm. A nominal $5.00 admission fee will go to support Wake County Historical Society and its programs. Read more »


What if there was an alternative game that engaged the kids' brains, got them learning instead of watching unboxing videos or teenage skits, and didn't beep, Ping or even need headphones?
Enter the LOGICO® learning game. It's like a tablet, only without the digital tech. Consisting of a plastic board with moveable coloured buttons – think of it as 'hardware' – the system relies on learning cards that slide into the slot in the board (that's your 'software'). Kids move the coloured buttons from the bottom of the board to the correct answers on the right hand side of the board. Then you can simply remove the card and slide in the reverse side to show the correct answers. If the coloured dots on the card match the position of the buttons then you have all of the answers correct!
The game can be held like an electronic tablet, will fit into the back of a car-seat or carry-on bag, it does not have loose parts that can roll under the seat, and does not require battery.
The Primo range, suited to children three to 6 years, has six coloured buttons on the board, which means each learning card has six problems to solve. The cards are available in sets of 16, and the child generally does not need to be able to read.
The Piccolo range for children five to 10 includes ten coloured buttons building skills in mathematics, logical thinking, sequencing, map reading skills and many more. The board includes ten coloured buttons making for more problem solving and an increased challenge.
THE COLLECTION OF PROBLEMS TO SOLVE FROM BOTH RANGES TEACH KIDS COLOURS, SHAPES, OBSERVATION, SEQUENCING, VISUAL PERCEPTION AND COUNTING.
LOGICO® was launched in Germany in 1993 and is widely used throughout Europe and USA by educators in pre-schools and primary school. It is also commonly used as a development tool by speech pathologists, and has received a number of international and national awards.
It is available in Australia through EU Toys. See here for stockists.

As Lisa Simpson once said, "I know all those words, but that sentence makes no sense." She was speaking of an archive shot of a cinema marquee saying YAHOO SERIOUS FILM FESTIVAL. I am speaking, as always, of THE PHANTOM EMPIRE.
Gene unwisely uses the approach to a deep gorge as his runway — young Frankie and Betsy leap from the moving vehicle and escape unscathed, but Gene pilots his aircraft straight down the crevasse.
Cut to Queen Tkia clasping her bosom in alarm as she watches on her awkwardly placed circular floor-television. Could it be the stern-faced termagant monarch is sweet on the pudgy country singer? The television operator shoots her a cynical glance, but I don't see what he has to be superior about: he has both spikes and bat wings on his helmet. When every fashion expert knows it's one or the other, not both.
Seconds later, however, the Queen is gesturing with satisfaction at the smouldering plane, and declaring "That is the end of Gene Autry." She's a deep one.
The evil Professor Beetson and his hench-scientists find Gene, still alive, amid the wreckage, and realise from his Muranian garb that he can tell them where the entrance to Murania is hid. This is a fairly sophisticated use of dramatic irony: the scientists' logic is that Gene's tunic proves he has been in the underground city. But, as regular viewers and Shadowplayers, we all know Gene donned this disguise BEFORE he was abducted underground. And yet he really DOES know where the secret entrance is concealed. Wheels within wheels!
Frankie and Betsy are transported by tube-elevator at three miles a minute down, down, remorselessly down to the thirty-third level of Murania. I can't wait to see them presented to the Queen. I anticipate some kind of perfect story of bad acting, non-acting and un-acting, between three figures who have nothing to say to each other and nothing to achieve by meeting. Dramatic fireworks are sure to ignite.
Every step of the journey to the Queen's palace is lovingly documented, as always: the subterranean stables; the elevator, with its confusing dial; the shelf where the Thunder Guard stack their breathing helmets; the walkway past the model backdrop with the caped pedestrians and random robot. Though the palace seems to be without anterooms, the front door leading directly to the throne room so far as we can tell.
Betsy King Ross is an illiterate. She compares the Queen to the "ugly Duchess" from Alice in Wonderland then quotes the Queen of Hearts' "Off with their heads." Inexcusable. When Tika condemns the "insolent offspring of savage surface men to a lifetime of confinement in the lower dungeon" I cheered.
The unconscious Gene is being kept by Prof Beetson in the cavern, in the canyon, where he has been excavating for a radium mine. Gene's inane comic sidekicks, whose tiresome scenes I don't usually bother to mention, show up and effect a rescue, though Beetson himself is absent and so escapes having his skull fractured with a log. Rather than alerting the proper authorities, Gene joins the Junior Thunder Riders (a bunch of horseback kids with buckets on their heads) and rides off to bust into Murania on a vigilante basis.
Fearing discovery, the Muranians remove the big "electric eye" from the rock face in which their garage door is embedded. The big chunky lens staring out of the scenery always did seem a bit of a giveaway. Gene arrives with his posse and is perplexed by the eye's absence. Somebody asks him, "What's an electric eye?" and he gives a detailed and wholly redundant explanation, leaning forward in his saddle and yelling carefully in the boy's face: "When your reflection appears in it, the eye, by means of a photo-electric cell, operates whatever you want it to." The effect is reminiscent of Gordon Cole in Twin Peaks.
More technobabble underground: the Muranians set a deadly radium beam to guard the door switch — our young heroes miss that part of the exposition, and rush in to open the doors to the surface. A light starts flashing on and off and they stagger about, evidently victims of the deadly beam.
Radium was a big talking point at the time: Marie Curie had just died. The factory girls poisoned by radium won their court case in the twenties but the story was still alive enough to form the background to NOTHING SACRED in 1937.

AI Aesthetics
While algorithms have been employed in artistic creation by artists since the 1960s, today
industrial-scale "cultural AI" is built into devices and services used by billions of people.
Instead of being an instrument of a single artistic imagination, AI has become a mechanism
for influencing the imaginations of billions. Gathered and aggregated data about the cultural
behaviors of multitudes is used to model our "aesthetic self," predicting our future aesthetic
decisions and likes – and potentially guiding us towards choices preferred by the majority.
The integration of AI into the everyday cultural lives of billions of people raises important
questions about the future of culture, aesthetics, and taste. In my book, I discuss some
of these questions.

The collection opened with Red, not just any red but blood flowing red. I did not get the chance to see the press release from the collection but if Boris was conveying a hunt, he hit the spot.
The collection was not all red, it was toned down to blacks, burgundy and tan just in case you want to look less intimidating . The look was urban, flowing with an unyielding look that was present throughout the collection. If I need to look tough without compromising style this is the look I'll be going for.
[ezcol_1half_end]The Collection also featured leather crafted, hats, gloves and sport inspired footwear. There is a mix variety of styles to choose from leather jackets, wool coats, aprons, jumpsuits, mid-calf pants and hooded jackets.

Google for Work's Inside Sales Team decided to pilot a new program where Online Sales Reps managed all inbound Latin American SMB leads ranging from 1-100 employees.
The majority of companies in Latin America are SMB's, so managing all of Spanish-Speaking Latin American companies required a team that could understand the climate of every country.
This role expanded my understanding of how much political, economic, and even climate changes can be a devastating factors for business owners in developing countries. Business conversations for Latin American sales required an immense sense of compassion, and I understood that being born in Colombia- I was speaking to people who didn't understand the internet speed that I lived in.
In order to close a sale with these customers, I mastered the art of understanding and putting myself in these small business owner's shoes. Expensing USD $10 a month for every employee's emails was 3 times as much when converted to their currency!
To succeed here, I had to change my tactics. Selling them a Google Solution was not just a novel technological product, it was the peace of mind that in the case of any national or economic crisis, their company's information was safe. Their passwords, their grandmother's recipe, and even the phone contacts they managed.
I reached 200% success on the LATAM Online Sales team. My sales generated a monthly $25,000 pipeline to over 100 weekly prospects in Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador.
As a 20% project, I was heavily involved with Google's Hispanic Organization of Latin Americans (HOLA). I helped to host the US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce at Google Tech Corners with Adrianna Samaniego, the Diversity Markets Program Manager.
I assisted Eliana Murillo, Google'S Multicultural Head of Marketing, in hosting the Latino Community Foundation at Google's SF office to promote Hispanic philanthropy, inspire social change, and educate Latinos about voting in the 2016 election.

South Africa vs Australia Prediction 3rd T20 Today Match Report Who Will Win on Wednesday 9th March 2016. RSA vs AUS 100% safe match prediction tips who will win toss in the third 20 overs match. Get here today t20 match prediction and watch live match on Super Sports, Ten Cricket and Fox Sports as it starts at 18:00 local (16:00 GMT | 21:00 PKT) at Newlands, Cape Town.
South Africa will play once again with Australia in the third and final T20 match of their ongoing series. The series is currently level at 1-1. The hosts had got off to a winning start to the series with a three wicket win at Durban. However, the visitors managed to square the series with a superb effort on Sunday.
The hosts put up 204/7 batting first in the first 20 overs of play with Quinton de Kock and Faf du Plessis batting well at the top of the order. AB de Villiers missed out yet again but de Kock and du Plessis put South Africa in cruise control.
While du Plessis hit 79 runs in 41 deliveries, de Kock scored 44 runs off 28 deliveries. David Miller played a super innings lower down the order with 33 runs in 18 deliveries. David Wiese finished things off in the last over, dragging South Africa to over 200 runs.
Australia will win the toss and will choose to field first but South Africa will win the match. South Africa made a good start to the second period of play with Kagiso Rabada and Dale Steyn getting rid of Aaron Finch, Shane Watson, and Steven Smith within the sixth over. However, just when it looked like the South Africans were going to coast to a victory, David Warner and Glenn Maxwell produced a superb fourth wicket partnership to guide Australia to a win.
While Warner hit 77 runs off just 40 deliveries, Maxwell scored 75 runs off 40 balls as well. However, the duo were dismissed within three deliveries of each other with very little in the game. Mitchell Marsh and James Faulkner kept their cool to take Australia home in a thrilling finish.
Warner will be a key man for the visitors. The Australian vice-captain has a great reputation as a big hitter and is one of the best in the business. De Kock will be South Africa's key man heading into this decider. The opener has been in good form but there is reason to believe that there is more in the locker.


After the second battle in Yibian, in order to fit in with the lineup and give more players the chance to play, the Germans rotated the lineup to a certain extent. Liu Guobo, Xie Longfei, Lian Dongwei, Kaiser, Xue Mengtao and other young generals all appeared. Compared with other players, young player Xie Longfeis performance left a more impressive impression. His header almost knocked the opponents city pool. Fortunately, the Croatian goalkeeper blocked the ball with a difficult sideswing. Perhaps the increase of young players has made Guoans overall strength slippery. Before the end of the game, Rieka gradually mastered the rhythm of the game, and in the 88th minute, Guoan made a mistake to complete the kill, locking the final score to 1:10.

Air Salvage International dismantles aircraft at Cotswold Airport (formerly Kemble Airfield).
Massive pieces of aircraft heading for the scrap yard are heading for Gloucestershire - and there may be delays for drivers.
Gloucestershire Police will be escorting three abnormal loads travelling towards Cotswold Airport today, Wednesday 7 June, which may cause delays to drivers travelling along the A419 and A429.
The vehicles will be travelling in convoy either late afternoon or early evening and drivers using the route are advised to allow extra time for their journeys.
The lorries will be carrying the parts to aircraft dismantlers Air Salvage International at Cotswold Airport near Cirencester. A spokesman for the firm said the loads were expected yesterday but high winds meant cranes could not load the parts.

Teamsters decry new Raleigh police 'quasi-quota' evaluations
Posted July 3, 2012 7:58 p.m. EDT
Updated July 3, 2012 11:47 p.m. EDT
Raleigh, N.C. — More than 100 Raleigh police officers are filing formal grievances against the department over a new performance evaluation program that grades officers by counting the number of activities they perform on duty, a Teamsters group said Tuesday.
The Teamsters Local 391, which represents the Raleigh Police Protective Association – an interest group of nearly 600 officers – called the new Priority Performance Measure Evaluation System a "troubling, arbitrary, quasi-quota system."
They scheduled a news conference for 2 p.m. Thursday to discuss their concerns.
The performance evaluation system, instituted July 1 by Chief Harry Dolan, grades officers by counting how many traffic stops they conduct or how many tickets they write.
Dolan said in a statement late Tuesday that the program was implemented after a yearlong trial period, during which he kept Teamsters representatives informed about its progress.
"In December, I met personally with a Teamsters representative, informed him of the July 1 go-live date and provided the program manual for review," Dolan said. "No concerns were voiced."
Another department leader met with the Teamsters in the spring to discuss the program, he said. No significant concerns were brought up at that meeting either.
"As always, I am eager to speak with any of my officers, including those represented by the Teamsters, to discuss any concerns or confusion," Dolan said.
The chief's remarks came after the Teamsters released a statement Tuesday evening criticizing the new evaluation procedure. They contend the grading system is not an accurate way to judge an officer's effectiveness.
"For example, an officer is scored lower if he or she writes fewer tickets than other officers," the group wrote in a statement. "This measure does not take into account what types of activities that the officer may have been engaged in, like investigating a serious crime, which may have interfered with his or her ability to write tickets."
The Teamsters say the evaluation system will hurt morale and lessen "the department's ability to further reduce crime rates in the city."
In the past year, officers have repeatedly found themselves at odds with Dolan.
In December, the Teamsters blasted Dolan and other department leaders for "misbehavior and mismanagement," in part due to the handling of a sexual misconduct probe that led to the firing of Sgt. Rick Armstrong.
Armstrong, who was president of the police association, has said that the results of an Internal Affairs probe – which found that he had sex while on duty with a woman in a neighborhood that he patrolled – are false. He is suing the city for wrongful termination and appealing to the city's Civil Services Commission to get his job back.
The Teamsters have charged that Dolan wanted to get rid of Armstrong after he was elected president of the association, and that two other leaders of the police union were placed on administrative leave for alleged involvement in Armstrong's case.

Q: Solve the homogeneous differential equation $(4y+3x)dy+(y-2x)dx=0$ Let $\dfrac yx = v$. Then, $\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = v+x\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dx}$
$$\begin{array}{rcl}
(4y+3x) \ \mathrm dy + (y-2x) \ \mathrm dx &=& 0 \\
\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} &=& \dfrac{2-\frac yx}{3+4\frac yx} \\
v+x\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dx} &=& \dfrac{2-v}{3+4v} \\
x\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dx} &=& \dfrac{2-4v-4v^2}{3+4v} \\
\displaystyle \int \dfrac{(4v+3)\ \mathrm dv}{-4v^2-4v+2} &=& \displaystyle \int \dfrac{\mathrm dx}{x} \\

I am not able to solve this integral. Please help.

A: To find $\displaystyle \int \dfrac{(4v+3)\ \mathrm dv}{-4v^2-4v+2}$:
$$\begin{array}{rcl}
4v+3 &=& A(-8v-4) + B \\
A &=& -\dfrac{1}{2} \\
B &=& 1

$$\begin{array}{cl}
