In 2013, Stage Entertainment decided to commission Cultival to communicate alternatively about the shows that it performs at the Théâtre Mogador in Paris. This would comprise a backstage tour of the Musicals for which the company is so well known: The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Dance of the Vampires, Cats, etc.
Beyond the direct promotion of its shows via the traditional ticketing networks, the producer is making its offering visible to an audience that has already been drawn in by a behind-the-scenes exploration of the Theatre Mogador. It is a smart integration of its target audiences that has been enabled by Cultival.
Sébastien Nepveu, Commercial Manager at Stage Entertainment.
Why did you choose the Cultival Agency and how would you define your relationship with Cultival?
The best professionalism in the best Parisian places! We chose Cultival for its creativity, its speed and its flexibility in a city – Paris – that is diverse and varied! Our relationship has always been and remains good! The availability of the teams that always have a smile, their square organisational structure and speed of action. It's a real pleasure!

A.T. Kearney (www.atkearney.com) released a report, "ExCap II: Top-Level Thinking on Capital Projects," a study of best practices in managing capital projects across their entire life cycles. Although capital spending has recovered since the 2008-2009 recession to $11 - $12 trillion annually, there are significant challenges for managers across the globe that pose major risks to large capital project economics.
Many of the pre-recession capital project issues are returning including resource scarcity, cost management, and underleveraged project portfolios. The study found that 23 percent of capital projects do not meet the required financial return threshold.
Resource availability. Although the world faces high levels of unemployment (+8 percent in the U.S. and + 11 percent in Europe), there is a significant lack of engineering and project management talent available to capital project managers.
Capital availability. Although poor project discipline results in budget overruns of 5 to10 percent, capital project managers consider capital availability a major constraint.
Leadership's understanding of capex issues. An overwhelming majority of senior managers believe they have the right capex organization, processes and performance levels, yet project performance is often poor.


Lampitok is a series of animated movies featuring an Igorot character named Lampitok. Most of the conversations in the movies are spoken in the Kankana-ey dialect with sprinklings of Ilocano, Ibaloi, Tagalog and English. Most of the animated series can be watched on YouTube although you can purchase copies of them in DVD form from various stores in Baguio City and La Trinidad.
The Lampitok Igorot Kankana-ey cartoon series were animated by an artist who goes by the name Boyong and produced by Nardo Dongpoen. Voice-overs were done by Boyong, Christine, Andrew P., Julius T., Edwin O., Jess S., and Amor B.. Editing was also done by Boyong. If anybody has a copy of the Lampitok 3 Igorot movie, please inform us on the comments section below so we can add it here. Thanks.
You can't understand the animated series if you don't understand the Kankana-ey, Tagalog, and Ibaloi dialects. The fact that the series don't come with subtitles aren't helping either. The series follows the adventures and antics of a G-string-wearing character named Lampitok. Feedback for the cartoons are mostly positive but there are some people pointing out that the cartoons are only strengthening the stereotypes against the native Igorots of the Cordillera region.

Black children missing out most on physical activity in England, survey finds
Sally Weale Education correspondent

Black children are the least likely to be physically active, according to Sport England, which found the pandemic is continuing to have a negative effect on children's engagement with sport and physical activity.
In its latest survey of activity levels among children and young people, 36% of black boys met healthy guidelines for physical activity, compared with 45% of all boys. This was mainly because they were twice as likely to come from less affluent families living in deprived areas with less access to outdoor space, the report said.
For the first time, boys' activity levels overall dropped to the point where they were in line with girls', mainly as a consequence of restrictions to organised sport due to Covid. There were, however, faint signs of improved participation among girls, who may have preferred going for a lockdown walk rather than participating in organised school sport.
Overall there was no change to activity levels compared with last year's data, which already reflected the damaging impact of Covid, but existing inequalities in participation have widened and overall there were 94,000 fewer active children and young people in England in 2020-21 compared with before the pandemic.
"Across the year as a whole, activity levels have fallen compared to pre-pandemic (2018-19) for children and young people from the least affluent families (down 3.4%), while remaining unchanged for those from the most affluent families – widening the gap between the two," the report states.
The Active Lives Children and Young People Survey found that 44.6% of 5- to 16-year-olds (3.2 million) met the chief medical officer's recommended guidelines of taking part in sport and physical activity for an average of 60 minutes or more every day, but 32.4% (2.3 million) do less than 30 minutes.
Different age groups have fared differently. Activity levels among 5- to 7-year-olds have recovered to levels seen two years ago, and remain down among 7- to 11-year-olds after a decline at the start of the pandemic, but have fallen further among secondary-age children compared with 12 months ago.
Responding to the findings, Youth Sport Trust's chief executive, Ali Oliver, said: "It is incredibly sad that millions of young people in England are missing out on the fundamental role that physical activity should play in their education and development.
"In the face of a global physical and mental health crisis, we are worried that this is still not being treated as a core priority of our national recovery. From families and schools through to sports organisations and government, a concerted national effort is now needed to get young people active."

Phillip Howard pointed toward a stack of black ski pants piled atop a counter in his winter sports shop as evidence of the hurdles small business owners still face as the pandemic drags on. Instead, they came from China the first week of January, delayed by supply-chain failures. "Late-arriving product really kills us," Howard said this week, noting that several other items had also arrived late, missing his pre-holiday sales season.

Q: How can I create a Required Owned Type with Entity Framework Core 3.0 I'm struggling creating a non-nullable/required Owned Type with Entity Framework Core.
I'm using EF Core 3.0 against PostgreSQL database.
My value object:
    public class PersonName
    {
        public PersonName(string name)
        {
            this.Name = name;
        }

        public string Name { get; set; }
    }

My entity:
    public class Person
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }

        public virtual PersonName FullName { get; set; }
    }

My entity configuration:
    public void Configure(EntityTypeBuilder<Person> builder)
    {
        builder.ToTable(nameof(Person));
        builder.HasKey(person => person.Id);

        builder.OwnsOne(person => person.FullName, personName =>
        {
           personName.Property(pn => pn.Name).IsRequired().HasColumnName("FullName");
        });
    }

The value type property is successfully persisted into the 'Person' table in the database but the column apears to be nullable despite that I'm using 'IsRequired()' method.
Thanks a lot!

A: So after some digging into the same problem the fix appears to be upgrade to ef core 5 (when its released) or manually edit the migrations. See the following github issue for discussion:

Yes? No? Maybe? I don't know! Can you repeat the question? (GTLIYWI) 1
Posted bylabarbaazul8067 11/10/2020 01/12/2020 Posted inclassic rock, Live albums, music reviewsTags:1970's, 1973, Alan White, Bill Bruford, Chris Squire, classic rock, Jon Anderson, Live albums, music, Rick Wakeman, rock, rock music, seventies, seventies rock, Steve Howe, triple live albums, Yes, Yesssongs
I'm in the process of making a movie about Twitter. It's going to be similar to The Social Network but with fewer characters. (the bad jokes will continue until morale improves). Today's delve back into the past is not going to be a double album, oh no, it's our first, (of many) TRIPLE albums! Our cups, and running times, runneth over! So for our first entrant we feature the prog giants Yes and their 1973 live album, Yesssongs.
Yessongs is the first live album by the English progressive rock band Yes, released as a triple album (their first but not their last) in May 1973 on Atlantic Records. After completing their Close to the Edge Tour in April 1973, the band selected live recordings between February and December 1972 on their tours supporting Fragile (1971) and Close to the Edge (1972) for a live album release. Three tracks ( Perpetual Change, Long Distance Runaround, The Fish) feature original Yes drummer Bill Bruford while the remaining tracks feature his replacement, Alan White. Bruford's departure came eleven days prior to the tour's start, leaving White to learn the band's repertoire in three days. The tour ended in April 1973, by which time Yes had made additional live recordings. Yessongs received a mostly positive reception from music critics, though much of its criticism was directed at its sound quality. As producer Eddy Offord was in charge of the band's sound on stage, he could not operate the recording equipment at the same time. This resulted in recordings that he was disappointed with as they were substandard. When it was time for the album to be edited and remixed, Offord and the band retreated to studio 2 at Advision Studios in Fitzrovia, London to complete it. Guitarist Steve Howe recalled the group treated the mixing process with as much care and importance as one of their studio albums with careful consideration to the preparation of the various edits and the finished product. The album was a commercial success for the band, reaching number 7 on the UK Albums Chart and number 12 on the US Billboard 200.
No mention of Lord of the Rings or Michael Moorcock here.
Variety published a positive review, noting the album shows the band at "their exciting best." Band biographer Tim Morse thought the album's downfall was its substandard audio quality despite the band's strong performances.
Yes, along with Rush and Gabriel-era Genesis, were one of the band's that introduced my young ears to the glorious world of prog-rock. The Yes Album, Fragile and Close To The Edge are fantastic examples of prog albums to me; wonderful long songs, superb musicianship and glorious solos by the bucket load and all the songs on here are taken from those 3 records, except for the Stravinsky Firebird opener and, for some reason, an excerpt from Rick Wakeman's Six Wives of Henry VIII, (which makes me yearn for a drum solo!). The performances on here are excellent, the band are firing on all cylinders here, from Anderson's soaring vocals, Howe's stunning riffing and soloing, Squire's bass driving the band onwards and upwards. The only issue here is the poor sound quality throughout the album, which manages to makes the album both tinny and fuzzy at the same time; it's more like a glorified bootleg than an official release. And that's a shame as the songs on here showcase the very best that Yes had to offer up to that point in time. Close to the Edge, Long Distance Runaround, And You And I, I've Seen All Good People, Heart of the Sunrise; it's a veritable greatest hits record. Side 6 for me is possibly my favourite side; I mean, what better to to end a live show with two of the most monster Yes tracks ever, Yours Is No Disgrace and Starship Trooper, with Howe's guitar solo soaring majestically up into the rafters and beyond.
So is it excessive? 6 of the 13 tracks are over 10 minutes, 2 other tracks are a gnat's erection away from 10 minutes, oh and did I mention that it's a freaking TRIPLE ALBUM. However, in spite of all that the album doesn't feel long or outstays it welcome. Were the critics right? Yeah, this album does showcase Yes at "their exciting best." Would I listen to it again? Definitely, it's a live greatest 'hits' album with very few flaws (sound quality notwithstanding). Would I recommend it? In a heartbeat. Is there a drum solo? Not only is there a drum solo but there's a bloody bass solo too! But as it's a bass-god Chris Squire solo, all is forgiven.
My score for this album is a very respectable 8 out of 10, half a point off for the Wakeman keyboard snooze-fest and 1 and a half points off for the sound quality but overall a great live document of a great prog band. Another triple live album re-evaluation is coming up in my next post, so I hope you can join me. Until then, keep it proggy and toodle-oo!

Jeremy Clarkson turns traffic warden in new Grand Tour teaser
….and what's with the Hercule Poirot moustache?
By Ben Dowell
Wednesday, 20th June 2018 at 12:00 pm
It's a conundrum that would test the 'leetle grey cells' of Agatha Christie's famous Belgian detective: why is Jeremy Clarkson dressed as a traffic warden – while sporting a Hercule Poirot moustache?
He was pictured in the get-up complete with fetching face furniture while filming the third series of The Grand Tour. And while there is no word from show producers Amazon Prime on what precisely is going on here, it is likely to whet the appetites of GT fans ahead of its likely return at the end of the year.
Jeremy Clarkson filming The Grand Tour series 3, Picture credit: Amazon Prime Video
For series three Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May have travelled to some far-flung destinations, revealing on social media over the last few weeks that they have been to Colombia, Detroit and their own test-track, fondly known by the trio as the "Eboladrome" because of its resemblance to the shape of the Ebola virus.
Jeremy Clarkson reveals his hopes for The Grand Tour series 3
Could The Grand Tour be coming to terrestrial TV?
Richard Hammond: "The Grand Tour can be a worldwide force for good"
And it is understood that they are set to embark on trips to some even more exotic locations, although it is not known if they are likely to fulfil Clarkson's dream of filming in Iran.
"With the BBC, we could never go to Iran – it didn't even allow the wildly political Ski Sunday in," he said before series two began filming last year. "But we can go now; it's somewhere I'd really like to go. It's a fantastic job, this: most people have to get cancer before they do their bucket list. But we've been doing our bucket list for years."
The Three Amigos are understood not to have – yet – been commissioned for a fourth series leading to speculation that the next run of The Grand Tour may be the last.
However Amazon insiders are insistent that no decision has been made about that. And Inspector Clarkson will no doubt give you a ticket for even suggesting it…
The Grand Tour is due to return to Amazon Prime Video for series 3 towards the end of 2018

Review: Walt's Hell Of Good Intentions
By Miriam Pemberton November 21, 2018
(Lobelog) Stephen Walt knew he had a problem. A single grand strategy had dominated U.S. foreign policy since the end of the Cold War, and he was its leading scourge. He planned in this book to try steering the Hillary Clinton administration, and subsequent administrations, away from this strategy with a compelling critique of its flaws.
That plan came a cropper when the electoral college installed a president who seemed to adopt some elements of the critique, while being manifestly incapable of the focus, patience, and strategic competence to implement them.
Walt's Plan B was to proceed with the critique, and his alternative proposal, while adding material showing that Trump's rhetorical attacks on the conventional wisdom have masked all the ways that he has followed it in substance. (The departures, Walt shows, he has botched.) With this plan, the Harvard international affairs professor has, over all, succeeded admirably.
Walt and others have labeled the dominant strategy "liberal hegemony. The foreign policy establishment viewed the end of the Cold War as the chance to spread democracy and prosperity around the world. As the lone superpower, and beacon of liberal values and democratic institutions, the United States was the "indispensable" choice to lead this effort. Diplomacy and other non-military tools would be accompanied by military force capable of removing dictatorial regimes and installing the infrastructure of freedom in their place. U.S. dominance would be preserved by such policies as NATO expansion and a commitment to maintaining a footprint of 800 military bases across the globe.
Walt argues against this strategy principally by walking through all of its demonstrable failures to achieve its goals—in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and so on.
His argument is something of a downer, which the title sums up. Most of the true believers in this strategy are full of enthusiasm to alleviate suffering and make lives better around the globe—and full of the can-do spirit that the United States is the exceptional nation to do it.
But Walt also lays out the less admirable motives these true believers need to own. Along with the hubris that allows U.S. policymakers to see themselves as the deliverers of light to the world is the career they built on these aspirational foundations. Walt points to the interlocking web of think tankers, corporate lobbyists, congressional allies, and foreign policy officials who depend on preserving liberal hegemony's…hegemony. These interests drive the proponents to overlook or explain away one foreign policy failure after another. The other institutions privileging this worldview include the major media outlets—Sunday talk shows, newspaper op-ed pages—that rarely find room for voices that decline to go along.
Two recent developments buttress his case. This month a group of former Obama administration foreign policy officials published an open letter calling on the Trump administration to withdraw all U.S. military support from Saudi Arabia for its war in Yemen. The letter falls short of a full apology for the Obama administration's role in creating this humanitarian crisis that has put millions, many of them children, on the edge of disease, violent death, and starvation. They describe their own support for this war as "conditional" in contrast with the current administration's "unconditional" kind. Nor, in writing at least, do they see in this disaster a reason to question the legitimacy of the other interventions the liberal hegemony doctrine propelled them to undertake. But the letter indicates that such doubts may be seeping into formerly untroubled brains, as a possible prelude to public discussion.
The other recent development points in the opposite direction—providing new evidence that the doctrine's power is, as Walt says, deeply entrenched and resistant to change. The congressionally mandated National Defense Strategy Commission has reported that despite the Trump administration's 10 percent increase in Pentagon spending and despite a level of spending close to the record of World War II, the U.S. need for military dominance requires that Washington strengthen its global role and give the military more money.
Walt's proposed alternative is the strategy of "offshore balancing." It argues that the United States should pull back its aspirations for global leadership, especially exercised through military means, and confine its power projection to situations that threaten its vital interests, with a focus on the Western Hemisphere, Europe, Northeast Asia, and the Persian Gulf. Cutting an ever-expanding appetite for military spending would allow more money to be spent at home as well as abroad on the "long-term ingredients of power and prosperity: education, infrastructure and research and development." To address real threats to its vital interests, the United States would rely as much as possible on financial assistance to local forces. It would reduce the "free riding" of allies on the U.S. military. The United States would no longer jump in to override local political arrangements, thus diminishing nationalist resentments and even terrorist responses, that arise from U.S. efforts to build the world in its own image. And it would reduce the global U.S. military footprint.
Among the virtues of this approach, Walt says, is its better alignment with what Americans actually want. Though foreign policy elites are mostly committed to liberal hegemony, polling indicates that most Americans favor shared global leadership and more attention to nation-building at home.
In his zeal to undermine the liberal hegemony doctrine, Walt fails to find much of anything it has done right. His treatment of the Iran nuclear deal emphasizes how much of the mainstream foreign policy community opposed it—and how much Trump's decision to withdraw from the deal lined up with their views. For my taste he might also have expressed a little more appreciation for the difficulty of watching the suffering and oppression of people living outside the realm of vital U.S. interests—i.e. its self-interest—and declining to try to do anything about it. And beyond a sentence or two, he leaves to others the task of grappling with what kind of non-hegemonic help might actually alleviate this suffering.
But as an indictment of the hubristic dreams of mainstream post-Cold War foreign policy, and an argument for an alternative, he has, clearly and persuasively, made his case.

Objective: The aim was to evaluate the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the clinical experiences, research opportunities and well-being of rheumatology trainees. Methods: A voluntary, anonymous, Web-based survey was administered in English, Spanish or French from 19 August 2020 to 5 October 2020. Adult and paediatric rheumatology trainees were invited to participate via social media and email. Using multiple-choice questions and Likert scales, the perceptions of trainees regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patient care and redeployment, learning and supervision, research and well-being were assessed. Results: There were 302 respondents from 33 countries, with 83% in adult rheumatology training. An increase in non-rheumatology clinical work was reported by 45%, with 68% of these having been redeployed to COVID-19. Overall, trainees reported a negative impact on their learning opportunities during rheumatology training, including outpatient clinics (79%), inpatient consultations (59%), didactic teaching (55%), procedures (53%), teaching opportunities (52%) and ultrasonography (36%). Impacts on research experiences were reported by 46% of respondents, with 39% of these reporting that COVID-19 negatively affected their ability to continue their pre-pandemic research. Burnout and increases in stress were reported by 50% and 68%, respectively. Physical health was negatively impacted by training programme changes in 25% of respondents. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on rheumatology training and trainee well-being. Our study highlights the extent of this impact on research opportunities and clinical care, which are highly relevant to future curriculum planning and the clinical learning environment.

N2 - Objective: The aim was to evaluate the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the clinical experiences, research opportunities and well-being of rheumatology trainees. Methods: A voluntary, anonymous, Web-based survey was administered in English, Spanish or French from 19 August 2020 to 5 October 2020. Adult and paediatric rheumatology trainees were invited to participate via social media and email. Using multiple-choice questions and Likert scales, the perceptions of trainees regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patient care and redeployment, learning and supervision, research and well-being were assessed. Results: There were 302 respondents from 33 countries, with 83% in adult rheumatology training. An increase in non-rheumatology clinical work was reported by 45%, with 68% of these having been redeployed to COVID-19. Overall, trainees reported a negative impact on their learning opportunities during rheumatology training, including outpatient clinics (79%), inpatient consultations (59%), didactic teaching (55%), procedures (53%), teaching opportunities (52%) and ultrasonography (36%). Impacts on research experiences were reported by 46% of respondents, with 39% of these reporting that COVID-19 negatively affected their ability to continue their pre-pandemic research. Burnout and increases in stress were reported by 50% and 68%, respectively. Physical health was negatively impacted by training programme changes in 25% of respondents. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on rheumatology training and trainee well-being. Our study highlights the extent of this impact on research opportunities and clinical care, which are highly relevant to future curriculum planning and the clinical learning environment.

A Huron High School hockey player, a female interested in technology, a Polish immigrant or a student who held a job during high school while juggling extracurricular interests?
There may be a scholarship for that.
Students have through Monday to apply for a slice of more than $100,000 in financial aid.
The Ann Arbor Community Foundation manages 38 scholarship funds annually. Last year, it awarded 134 grants, totaling nearly $130,000, to local high school and college students.
With several area school districts off on spring break next week and students enduring long car rides or plane rides to warmer climates, there are scholarships with both online and paper applications to help fill the travel time.
The majority of applications are due by Monday, but a few funds, largely the ones with paper applications, have their own deadlines.
The amounts to be awarded range from $500 to $3,000.
The scholarships themselves, as well as the criteria and requirements, cater to a variety of interests, academic levels and post-secondary paths.
Cheryl Elliott, president and chief executive officer of the community foundation, said one scholarship requires a good driving record, another asks you to tell a joke, many ask applicants to write an essay about overcoming a challenge, some give a chance to students with a 2.0 GPA and one requires students to talk about the ills of tobacco or promise to quit smoking.
Elliott said each scholarship fund has a purpose and a story to tell.
"They are great stories and (the money) makes a great impact in people's lives. But often it is also a way to help the families cope and carry on someone's memory," she said.
A number of the scholarships the community foundation hosts were set up to honor someone who has died — often at a young age — from a horrible accident or disease. Others have been established by a corporation to benefit the children or grandchildren of their employees.
The essays students submit can bring tears to your eyes, Elliott said.
A group of about eight area residents and community foundation trustees typically review the scholarship applications and recommend awardees.
A complete list of available scholarships is available here. For more information on how to apply, visit the community foundation's website.

A philosophical puzzle: morality with complex rationality
There's a recurring philosophical puzzle that keeps coming up as one drills into the foundational issues at the heart of technology policy. The more complete articulation of it that I know of is in a draft I've written with Jake Goldenfein whose publication was COVID delayed. But here is an abbreviated version of the philosophical problem, distilled perhaps from the tech policy context.
For some reason it all comes back to Kant. The categorical imperative has two versions that are supposed to imply each other:
Follow rules that would be agreed on as universal by rational beings.
Treat others as ends and not means.
This is elegant and worked quite well while the definitions of 'rationality' in play were simple enough that Man could stand at the top of the hierarchy.
Kant is outdated now of course but we can see the influence of this theory in Rawls's account of liberal ethics (the 'veil of ignorance' being a proxy for the reasoning being who has transcended their empirical body), in Habermas's account of democracy (communicative rationality involving the setting aside of individual interests), and so on. Social contract theories are more or less along these lines. This paradigm is still more or less the gold standard.
There's a few serious challenges to this moral paradigm. They both relate to how the original model of rationality that it is based on is perhaps naive or so rarefied to be unrealistic. What happens if you deny that people are rational in any disinterested sense, or allow for different levels of rationality? It all breaks down.
On the one hand, there's various forms of egoism. Sloterdijk argues that Nietzsche stood out partly because he argued for an ethics of self-advancement, which rejected deontological duty. Scandalous. The contemporary equivalent is the reputation of Ayn Rand and those inspired by her. The general idea here is the rejection of social contract. This is frustrating to those who see the social contract as serious and valuable. A key feature of this view is that reason is not, as it is for Kant, disinterested. Rather, it is self-interested. It's instrumental reason with attendant Humean passions to steer it. The passions need not be too intellectually refined. Romanticism, blah blah.
On the other hand, the 20th century discovers scientifically the idea of bounded rationality. Herbert Simon is the pivotal figure here. Individuals, being bounded, form organizations to transcend their limits. Simon is the grand theorist of managerialism. As far as I know, Simon's theories are amoral, strictly about the execution of instrumental reason.
Nevertheless, Simon poses a challenge to the universalist paradigm because he reveals the inadequacy of individual humans to self-determine anything of significance. It's humbling; it also threatens the anthropocentrism that provided the grounds for humanity's mutual self-respect.
So where does one go from here?
It's a tough question. Some spitballing:
One option is to relocate the philosophical subject from the armchair (Kant) to the public sphere (Habermas) into a new kind of institution that was better equipped to support their cogitation about norms. A public sphere equipped with Bloomberg terminals? But then who provides the terminals? And what about actually existing disparities of access?
One implication of this option, following Habermas, is that the communications within it, which would have to include data collection and the application of machine learning, would be disciplined in ways that would prevent defections.
Another implication, which is the most difficult one, is that the institution that supports this kind of reasoning would have to acknowledge different roles. These roles would constitute each other relationally–there would need to be a division of labor. But those roles would need to each be able to legitimize their participation on the whole and trust the overall process. This seems most difficult to theorize let alone execute.
A different option, sort of the unfinished Nietzschean project, is to develop the individual's choice to defect into something more magnanimous. Simone de Beauvoir's widely underrated Ethics of Ambiguity is perhaps the best accomplishment along these lines. The individual, once they overcome their own solipsism and consider their true self-interests at an existential level, come to understand how the success of their projects depends on society because society will outlive them. In a way, this point echoes Simon's in that it begins from an acknowledgment of human finitude. It reasons from there to a theory of how finite human projects can become infinite (achieving the goal of immortality to the one who initiates them) by being sufficiently prosocial.
Either of these approaches might be superior to "liberalism", which arguably is stuck in the first paradigm (though I suppose there are many liberal theorists who would defend their position). As a thought experiment, I wonder what public policies motivated by either of these positions would look like.

Marco Marella
A native of Venice, Italy, Marella trained briefly at the Venetian Academia di Belle Arti. He also studied at the Chelsea School of Art in London. Despite those academic stints, however, he calls himself a "self-taught artist," and says his real-world experiences as a "ship-boy" on a cargo freighter and as an army officer influenced his work. Marella, whose art has been recognized by the Italian and British Associations of Illustrators, was recently published in American Illustration 27, an annual design contest. This month, his work accompanies an article on teaching foreign languages to children (page 34). In creating the illustration, he says, he hoped those who thumbed through the issue would want to stop on that page and read.
Nancy Nall Derringer
Derringer, who wrote the foreign-language education story on page 34, spent 2003-04 on a journalism fellowship at the University of Michigan. The fellowship group included several overseas journalists, along with their families. "I remember being at a party for one of the kids, and all but one of the young guests spoke at least two languages. One Turkish boy, who arrived with his parents, spoke English with a British accent. Four months later, he sounded like any American kid." Children are sponges for language, and learn best and fastest when they're taught early. So why aren't more Michigan schools taking advantage of this happy fact? As for Derringer, she's studying Russian with a private tutor. Early may be best for gaining a second language, but it's also never too late.
Molly Abraham
"The most fascinating part of covering local restaurants, as I've done for a lot of years, is the sheer diversity of the scene. From tiny cafés with a handful of seats to major productions, there's a vast variety, and many are worthy of note," Abraham says. But Hour Detroit's annual Restaurant of the Year (page 60) requires the highest standards. "It must be ambitious in menu, meticulous in setting, and must offer top-notch service. This year's choice achieves all of those goals," she says. "It was particularly satisfying from my perspective, because I've been lucky enough to observe the culinary career of its chef/proprietor ever since he was a fledgling protégé of Milos Cihelka at the former Golden Mushroom."

Get Ready for President Trump
The stock market is crashing, the economy is in reverse, Sarah Palin is back in the headlines, and Hillary Clinton is in freefall. All the ducks are falling in place for Donald Trump. The latest poll shows Trump leading 42 to 12 and establishment favorites Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and John Kasich are all in single digits. It's all over folks. Get used to Donald Trump as your GOP nominee. Keep in mind, Trump hasn't spent any serious money yet. What happens when he drops $500 million on the race? What about $750 million? How about a cool billion? Could Trump's 42 percent rise to 52 percent? Or even higher? [more...]
Hollywood Celebrities Launch Trump Attack
When members of the far-left in Hollywood are using the same script as the editors of National Review, we know we are living in very surreal times. "Stop Hate, Dump Trump" is a new slogan that has been adopted by a group of Hollywood liberals in the hopes of derailing Donald Trump's campaign bullet train. In an almost simultaneous effort, National Review has devoted almost every page of the most recent issue of its magazine to essays that urge voters to withhold support from the GOP frontrunner - something that most likely would have appalled conservative icon and magazine founder William F. Buckley Jr. Hollywood's assault on Trump emanates from decidedly left-winged individuals, most of whom work in the entertainment business. [more...]
47 Cents a Gallon
Last Sunday, a few lucky Americans got to pay 47 cents for a gallon of gas. A few years ago, when fuel was topping $5 a gallon, this would have seemed impossible. Now, it might just be a sign of things to come. A few gas stations in northern Michigan found themselves in a brief, but newsworthy, price war. One location dropped prices to 95 cents, another 77 cents, and two gas stations offered 47 cent gas. Monday, the market corrected itself, and those few audacious gas stations brought prices back to $1.46 and $1.47 a gallon. Gasbuddy.com, which tracks gas prices across the country, now lists the average price per gallon in the U.S. at $1.89. [more...]
The Problem with Bernie Sanders Voters is They Don't Actually Vote
You keep hearing about how well Bernie Sanders is doing. But Bernie does best with people who don't necessarily vote. Only including voters who previously caucused in their party's most recent competitive caucus, Cruz is neck-and-neck with Trump, with 30% for Cruz to 28% for Trump. The Sanders campaign could very well be headed for a crushing defeat in Iowa. He's dependent on young, hipster voters, while Hillary Clinton took the minority part of the Obama coalition. Unfortunately for them, the core Democratic voting bloc is older and whiter than the Obama coalition. By dividing the coalition, Bernie Sanders is left with the hippest, but most unreliable part of it. [more...]
GOP Establishment Piles on Trump
We are so busy attacking Trump that we are not paying attention to the issues; we are not dealing with the issues as a party. Trump wouldn't be able to make any headway if we had the right candidates and if people trusted the mainstream Republicans. Over 60% of Republicans feel betrayed by their party. They believe the party doesn't care or listen to them except at election time. Republican rank and file wanted the Republican elects to vote against funding Planned Parenthood, illegal immigration benefits, refugee relocation money, a $1.7 billion dollar interest payment to Iran on $200 million owed. In these cases (and so many more) Speaker Ryan and McConnell ignored the will of "We the people." [more...]
ISIS's Barbarity and Leftist Feminists' Callous Heart
ISIS's brutality knows no bounds. Early medieval style beheadings, crucifixions, enslavement and rapes of women and young girls are ISIS's calling cards. They have slaughtered or abducted thousands of civilians and have committed systematic genocide against Yazidis and Christians. Yet when reports of such acts of barbarism began to emerge in 2014, the progressive left either ignored the worst demonstrations of pure evil in our time or pooh-poohed them. For example, the far left feminist Naomi Wolf, pretending to be an objective journalist, has demanded proof of ISIS transgressions. She questioned whether the videos of beheadings by ISIS jihadists were real. "So much about ISIS seems hyped/spun," she said on her Facebook page in August 2014. In response to accounts of ISIS jihadists' sexual exploitation of women, she bizarrely warned us to "remember the fake accounts of 'the HUN' raping Belgian women that drove everyone else into World War One." Recall that Naomi Wolf has argued in the past that Muslim women veiling themselves are doing so as an expression of their own free choice. [more...]
We are Witnessing the End of the House of Clinton
There is the stench of political death around Hillary, Bill, Chelsea and the entire House of Clinton. You could feel it when Republican frontrunner Donald Trump hit back - hard - over the "penchant for sexism" charge by basically calling Hillary Clinton an enabler in the former president's sexual shenanigans. When have we ever seen the Clintons back off? But they did. Then came further reports about an expanded FBI probe of her handling of secure information; the nexus of State Department favors for donors to the Clinton Foundation; and the story that Hillary Clinton or her staff might have lied to FBI agents in this probe. [more...]
The Supreme Court on Obama's Amnesty Plan
By Dr. Gerard Lameiro
The Supreme Court will rule on President Barack Obama's decision to defer deportation for as many as five million undocumented immigrants, agreeing to hear the administration's appeal on one of the most contentious issues of his presidency. But what are the common sense solutions to the threats illegal immigration is having on our national security - the threats posed by America's unprotected borders?
Illegal immigration is arguably the hottest topic of this coming election - of grave concern to many Americans. Donald Trump is not the only one to hit a nerve when bringing this issue to the forefront of the debates. In Great News for America, now climbing the charts on Amazon as a go-to book for information on the election, Dr. Gerard Lameiro emphasizes that first and foremost, to be a sovereign nation, a country must have borders and those borders must be clearly delineated and readily enforced.
One common sense solution that the newly elected president can take is to completely shut down America's borders for a "cooling off period" of two years. This means no new immigrants (legal or illegal) will be permitted to enter and stay in the U.S. This gives the new administration time to seal the border off from illegal immigration completely - physically with fencing, electronically using advanced tracking technology, and militarily with appropriate law enforcement and military support.

Benghazi Film Set to Shake Up the Presidential Primaries
Poised to make its impact on the first presidential primaries of 2016 is a compelling major motion picture about the 2012 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya. Michael Bay's "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" contains content that is likely to test the nerves of those who are working for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton while simultaneously pleasing those who are supporting Hillary's chief opponent, the currently surging Bernie Sanders. Despite the fact that the movie never once mentions Hillary by name, her presence is felt at key points in the drama that unfolds on the screen. [more...]
Majority of Iowa Caucus Dems Call Themselves Politically Correct Socialists
Meet the new Democratic Party. It's like the Communist Party, but it hasn't picked out its own snappy uniforms yet. If Bernie Sanders wins Iowa, it will be in no small part because Iowa Democrats describe themselves as Socialists more than supporters of free enterprise and human freedom. As Reagan said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." We're seeing a reminder of that here and now. [more...]
SOTU Fiction
"Anyone claiming America's economy is in decline is pedaling fiction. What is true and the reason Americans are so apprehensive is that the economy is changing in profound ways..." stated the President during the State of the Union. Profound is an UNDERSTATEMENT. The secret word is "profound." It should scare you to death - like "fundamentally change," "hope and change," and "forward." First of all, 2015 ended its worst ride since 2008. The DOW and S&P finished down and even though the NASDAQ finished up 5.7, it had finished in double digits the prior 3 years. Jump ahead to the first few weeks of 2016. Strap yourself in; it's going to be a rough ride. The markets opened the year with the worst start since The Great Depression. [more...]

Rolling Stone and Sean Penn Owe America and Mexico an Apology
Friday, January 9th, Rolling Stone Magazine released an interview between actor Sean Penn and drug lord Joaquin Guzman, better known as El Chapo. Penn interviewed the infamous cartel boss in October of 2015. Rolling Stone waited until El Chapo's capture to publish Penn's story and interview. Penn's celebrity comes just as much from his social activism as it does his films – but interviewing El Chapo seems to fall into neither category. It seems Penn's article reads part Hollywood action movie, part morning TV fluff-piece. I understand good journalism requires a look at all sides of an issue, but some issues simply don't have those other sides. Penn asked questions that allowed El Chapo to give empty answers, akin to what a politician might give, or a guest on Good Morning America. The actor fails to ask any real follow-up questions letting El Chapo blame the proliferation of drugs on its consumers, not the suppliers. Penn also lets Guzman say his organization is not a cartel, and, when asked if he uses violence, Guzman says "all I do is defend myself, nothing more. But do I start trouble? Never." Penn seems fine with this answer. [more...]

Wayne Allyn Root will deliver the Tea Party response to the State of the Union this week, eschewing the Tea Party Express's tradition of inviting a well-known politician in favor of a political outsider. "2016 has become the year of the outsider as the public continues to show strong support in the presidential contest for candidates that eschew connections with the Washington establish. So it is appropriate for the Tea Party Express to select a Washington 'outsider' who has had a remarkable career," the group's co-founder, Sal Russo, said in a statement. "[Root] is a perfect representative of the Tea Party and is always an articulate spokesperson for a positive agenda for our country's future." [more...]
Mourning in America
Obama's seven years have produced mourning in America and a widespread pessimistic feeling of loss, despair and grief. Millions now feel that something essential to our success and well-being has died here – that we are sad witnesses to the death of the American Dream. A new poll published January 5 by Esquire Magazine and NBC News finds that 52 percent of Americans now believe that the American Dream was "once true but not anymore." Another 11 percent now believe that it "never held true." [more...]
Ricky Gervais Makes Golden Globes a Politically Incorrect Event
The most interesting thing about the 2016 Golden Globe Awards was not the highly predictable winners but rather the highly predictable barbs thrown Hollywood's way by contentious host Rick Gervais. After referring to the audience as "disgusting, pill-popping, sexual deviant scum," Gervais announced the following: "I'm going to do this monologue and then go into hiding. Not even Sean Penn will find me... snitch." The brash Brit launched an early attack at the television network that aired the program. [more...]
No Need to Fear the Refugees?
Over Christmas and New Year's, Germany had a rash of rapes and assaults. The numbers were shocking as they have never seen this kind of crime spree against women. Over 100 "filed complaints" of rape and assault over the new year and police believe there are over 1,000 male refugees involved. Rapes were conducted by "rape gangs" and women were beaten and raped in public. The mayor of the German city, Cologne, where many of the assaults took place suggested it was the fault of the women! Let that settle in. [more...]
Public Unions on the Precipice
Unions representing employees in the public sector have been dominant in politics since 1977 when the U.S. Supreme Court decided the case of Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, and, in so doing, eliminating public employees' rights to decide if they wanted to be part of a union or finance its policies and politics. The 1977 decision bolstered public sector unionism. In making its decision, the court affirmed the constitutionality of a Michigan law requiring public school teachers who are not dues-paying union members to pay "agency" or "fair-share" fees. The practical effect has been the allowance of forced unionism of public employees by the union bosses, resulting in 35.7% of public employees to be unionized vs. just 6.6% of private sector employees today. The lack of free choice has done unmeasurable damage to the First Amendment rights of millions of government employees since the decision 39 years ago. [more...]

North Korea and Iran - The Nuclear Duo
North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear test on January 6th, which it claimed was a hydrogen bomb. Despite some skepticism as to North Korea's claim that it had actually tested a hydrogen bomb, the Obama administration acknowledged that North Korea had indeed tested some sort of nuclear device. The administration condemned North Korea's latest testing as a violation of a series of past United Nations Security Council resolutions. "We do not and will not accept North Korea as a nuclear armed state, and actions such as this latest test only strengthen our resolve," declared Secretary of State John Kerry. Mr. Kerry is a bit late with his declaration. North Korea has had an active nuclear arms program for nearly a decade and has conducted three of its four nuclear tests during President Obama's time in office. [more...]

Streaming to Revolutionize Delivery of Entertainment, Sports & News in 2016
Those who opt for the streaming of their entertainment, sports, and news fare are about to be treated to an even bigger selection of choices in 2016. The unpopular bundling model commonly used by the cable and satellite television industries is going by the wayside. What has happened up until recently is that bundling has created a situation in which far too many television viewers have been forced to subscribe to a huge number of aggregated channels that they do not need or desire to receive. Additionally, programming that may not have otherwise survived has been subsidized by unwitting cable and satellite TV customers. [more...]
Chicago's Strict Gun Control Laws Didn't Prevent Most Mass Shootings
Chicago has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation and one of highest number of homicides and shootings. Rahm Emanuel, Barack Obama's former White House Chief of Staff, has been mayor of Chicago since 2011. Emanuel shares many of Obama's liberal anti-American agendas including the desire to ban guns and disarm the citizenry. Like his mentor, Emanuel has done everything possible to enact strict gun control laws in Chicago and like his mentor, he claims that guns are the cause of gun violence and passing tough gun control laws will lower gun violence and deaths in his city. However, his strict gun control laws have done little to curb gun violence and deaths. [more...]
What Makes the 2016 Presidential Election Historic?
First and foremost, American voters are angry, frustrated and upset with the political parties and "establishment" politicians because they have largely ignored voters and their demands to solve many issues facing America. Americans are tired of sending people back to Washington to solve our top problems and not having the problems fixed. Take Obamacare as one example: Americans wanted it repealed in 2010 when it gave control of the House to another party with 63 House seats changing hands. Americans wanted Obamacare repealed again in 2014 when it gave control of the Senate to Republicans. In both cases, Obamacare was not repealed. Other problems not adequately addressed included the staggering national debt, now exceeding $18.8 trillion... not to mention, the illegal immigration problem. [Go here for a complete analysis...]
2016 Economic Projections
First things first: Puerto Rico is turning into America's Greece. The island territory is laden with debt it can't pay, and what's worse, Americans are the ones holding the receipts. About 50% of Americans over the age of 40 hold Puerto Rican debt in some way in California, New York, and Florida; nearly 100% of the over-40 population is exposed in some way. Puerto Rico's debt comes from a laundry list of issues: over 60% of its population is on Medicare or Medicaid, importing energy is wildly expense, and, not unlike Greece, its government can be rather stubborn. The way I see it, no one knows what Puerto Rico will do, but the options are: 1) default (this is bad for everybody; 2) The U.S. grants Puerto Rico the ability to declare Chapter 9 bankruptcy; or 3) The U.S. gives Puerto Rico a $70+ billion bailout package. None of this will go well for anyone, and frankly there is no way to tell what will happen; but we will see a decision in 2016, and it could put a dent in the U.S. economy. [more...]
CAIR's Lawyer Claims Pro-Israel Charities are Terrorists
Forget academic boycotts and protesting Israeli oranges in the produce aisle. The new BDS targets are Jewish charities with a special focus on those that provide services and support in '67 Israel. Under its new Muslim boss, Amna Farooqi, J Street U has been pressuring Jewish charities not to help Jews living in territory which had been conquered and ethnically cleansed of Jews by the invading Muslim armies during Israel's War of Independence. Other groups, including T'ruah, which had a prominent role at Obama's toxic Chanukah party, have also made Jewish charities into their target. [more...]
Is Trump Running Away with the GOP Nomination?
As 2016 begins, is Trump in a commanding position for the GOP nomination? Is the Al Shabab recruiting video going to be a factor in the race? Will it hurt Hillary? Is she – yet again – becoming a complacent candidate? This – and much more – will be discussed by the POLITICAL INSIDERS – live on Fox News Channel this Sunday evening – at 7:30 PM ET. [more...]

Making a Toolbox for Anxiety
by Megan O'Connell with Terra A. Mattson, MA LPC, LMFT Worry has been a constant companion of mine for as long as I can remember. And as much as I wished it away, it didn't budge. So when my fourth grade teacher asked us to write a folktale about a character based on...

"I Want More of My Dad"
I'm at the age where attending funerals is becoming more commonplace. And truly, there's nothing like an end of life celebration to bring everything into perspective.
Awhile back I attended a funeral for a dear friend's husband. There was hardly a dry eye in the place as one of her sons shared story after story about what his dad had meant to him. While choking back tears, he invited us all to dig deeper as he said, "I think everyone in here could say, 'I want more of my dad.'"
Walking With the Lonely or Elderly
One of the best ways to cope with anxiety and uncertainty is to lean into them.
During this novel Coronavirus pandemic, people are finding a sense of calm and normalcy by serving others and seizing opportunities to make the best of a challenging situation. Hebrews 13:16 says, "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God" (ESV Bible). Some are enjoying the gift of having fewer activities, a break from work, or more free time in the schedule. Others are blessed with multiple people living under one roof, providing ample opportunity for quality family time spent together (and, yes, I acknowledge that this may not always feel like a blessing).
Responding Well in Overwhelming Circumstances
We have the privilege of knowing and walking with many leaders in churches, non-profits, and businesses. Regardless of where we lead, the pressure rises in times of great uncertainty for everyone. Considering the recent pandemic, we asked a seasoned women's pastor and leadership coach, Rhonda Began, to share her process of leaning in and navigating these uncharted waters. We think there is something here for any leader. – Jeff & Terra
Saving Your Best For Those You Love The Most

Anxiety and the Holidays
When you think about the holidays, what is your first reaction? Take a second and take notice. Where do your thoughts go? What happens to your body? Do you feel excited? Happy? Overwhelmed? Sad? Anxious? Perhaps you feel all of these emotions? If so, you are normal!

Cast a spell on electricity supplied to all the sound system worldwide.
Sound engineers all over the world have been searching for the best acoustics.
They have cast spells on sound with their excellent sensitivity, deep knowledge, mixing and other techniques.
No sound system works without electricity. But only a small number of sound engineers turn their attention to supplied electricity as much as the mixer.
Yet, it is electricity that is producing sound.
By introducing LOGOSTRON MIX AC Electric, we have completed a system that provides sound engineers and music artists with a stable environment where they are able to optimize their performance.
Developed by Nanasawa Institute, LOGOSTRON technology has been used by tens of thousands of people and has attracted users with new possibilities not found in previous tools.
The frequency emitted by LOGOSTRON is something that cannot be caught by the five senses including visual sense. SIZIMA, born as a special sound source using this frequency, has been developed as a sound source suitable for listening or meditation, by cutting edgy noise by editing the LOGOSTRON frequency. SIZIMA is also used for the sound source contained in the best seller "Purification CD Book" (Sanmark Publishing).
You can use a dedicated amplifier at home that allows you to mix the LOGOSTRON language frequency with your favorite artist's music and make it LOGOSOUND.
It is both possible to mix the frequency of SIZIMA with other music and to embed LOGOSTRON language frequency on the music by directly connecting LOGOSTRON transmitter to LOGOSOUND MIX Amp, as shown in the following figure.
A certain type of sound causes a transformation in consciousness.
Sound changes us beyond our imagination.
With years of studies on human consciousness, Nanasawa Institute produced LOGOSOUNDSYSTEM. to provide a sound source that makes it possible to actively transform our consciousness.
Japanese larch is used for the material of the enclosure (body).
It is an excellent material with decay durability and moderate elasticity. But as it has many knots, which makes an impact on the sound, it has never been used for the enclosure of a speaker.
By reducing knots and using only the part with beautiful edge grains, NEFURI's enclosure is carefully produced. Due to the elasticity of this material, no sound absorbing material is necessary to suppress the vibration of the box. NEFURI is a speaker produced by the best characteristic of the material.
For the protective agent on the disclosure, only linseed oil is used. You can enjoy the color of the speaker turning in amber while using it over time .
In addition, NEFURI produces harmonic sounds. Although it has no outstanding characteristics such as deep bass effects or high volume, it can emit a well-balanced sound even at a low volume. It is recommended for those who like warm, soft sounds.
While it is a compact book shelf speaker, HAFURINE 1 covers a wide range of frequencies from 40 to 38,000 Hz, delivering a delicate sound of high-resolution audio and SACD in a well-balanced fashion.
Produced by the famous German audio manufacturer, it features an incredibly rich sound by producing sounds not only in an accurate manner but also in a comfortable manner for listeners due to its exquisite setting.
The secret of this excellent sound lies in the manufacturer's serious attitude to stick to fundamentals. HAFRINE 1 is a cost-effective entry model that satisfies a wide range of music lovers.
Using medium-density fiberboard, the manufacturer successfully made an enclosure without wood grains, which equalizes properties of speakers on both sides. As a result, HAFRINE 1 produces sounds in a perfect balance, without excessive or insufficient vibration.
HAFRINE 1 is recommended for users who cannot compromise on sound quality but do not have a space for larger speakers.
HAFRINE 2, the high-end model of HAFRINE 1, is a tall boy type speaker with two woofers. With its quality sound like HAFRINE 1, this is a high cost-performance model, recommended for users who value the precision of sound.
Two woofer units make it possible to produce a wider range of low frequencies than HAFURINE 1, with the capacity to express delicate sounds from low to high frequencies. As a result, HAFRINE 2 is compatible with LOGOSTRON frequencies and SIZIMA.
With a capacity to faithfully produce the original sound as a monitor speaker, it is suited for bedrooms and other various situations. Its stylish design stands out as an interior accessory.
HAFRINE 2 is recommended for users who want to feel the world of LOGOSTRON with all their senses and who want to be immersed in music and LOGOSTRON frequencies.
As if in zero gravity, it carries your consciousness into outer space on its wave.
Various forms of LOGOSTRON technology are integrated into Acoustic Bed, and it has been reborn as NAMINORI-Fune.
The sound transmitted from the bed vibrates the air within the hexagonal pillar, and the vibration is conveyed directly to the body, bringing a sound experience accompanied by bone conduction.
While releasing the stagnation of the ear by sharp, high pitch sound, NAMINORI-Fune reminds us of the link we innately have with the ground, due to a powerful deep bass sound spreading from the back through to the waist, as if a rumbling of the earth.
When your whole body resonates with this sound, you will clearly feel your consciousness expanding to an unprecedented sphere, with your life power being reactivated.
