My Aunt Debbie turned 60-years-old this past week and my cousin Jed and Uncle Tom threw her a surprise party this weekend! We loved celebrating with her, and I know we made the right choice in choosing to attend: Katie had also received her first invitation to a birthday party for a little girl in our music class, but the two events conflicted. It was finally resolved in our hearts to honor our family before our friends. I was proud of my girl, who chose our family first, when I had and heart-to-heart with her and asked her where her heart's desire lay (prefaced by the caveat that mommy would make the final decision). She had a child's clarity about it that was refreshing, and in being with my aunt yesterday and watching the friendship between Katie and her cousins, I knew our hearts led us true.
So many aspects of the birthday party were witness to this: Aunt Debbie's joy in seeing everyone, Katie and Violet laughing as they played with Jed and me outside, a slide show showing Aunt Debbie's life and the realization that yes, "the seasons, they go round and round/and the painted ponies go up and down..." and that we are in the season of watching our childhood recede and our mothers take up the mantle of grandmotherhood.
Aunt Debbie watching the slide show.
Nana with two of her three grandchildren (my brother and Ashley came, but this was taken after they left toward the end of the party) and all four great-grandchildren.
The next generation of cousinhood, all snuggled up together.
Cousin Jed makes a sleigh from a blanket and takes the girls for a ride.
Violet and Katie playing in the backyard.
We are thankful for this time with our family, and a weekend filled with cousins on both sides of our family. I cannot state enough how grateful I am to my parents and my aunts and uncles for solidifying in our youth the bonds of family and the friendship among us all. May those bonds and friendships last us through our lives.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy on Tuesday dared Telangana Rashtra Samiti chief K Chandrasekhar Rao to topple the state government.
"I am waiting for you to topple it (government). Please topple it," Reddy told reporters at a press conference.
He was reacting to Chandrasekhar Rao's comments on Sunday, who had said, "it is not difficult to pull down the state government and we have the strength to do so".
"We are not here at the mercy of anyone. The Congress won 50 seats in Telangana in 2009 on its own strength while the TRS, despite being part of the Grand Alliance (with Telugu Desam Party and the Left Front), won only 10 seats," the chief minister pointed out.
Reddy termed TRS chief as the "leader of a sub-regional party", over the latter's outbursts against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and former prime ministers Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, besides Sonia Gandhi.
"We warn KCR to mind his language. We are pained by his intemperate language. He doesn't have the stature or right to call such great leaders' names," Reddy said.
He also warned the TRS president that he could not achieve his dream of Telangana by raking up passions and letting people fight on the streets.
Deputy Chief Minister Damodar Rajanarasimha and nine other ministers from Telangana were present at the press conference.

"Nuclear" by Destiny's Child
Destiny's Child are back! It's not what you're thinking either. The trio has stripped their male bashing lyrics for a romantic breakbeat inspired single. There has been much speculation about the Destiny's Child reunion since the announcement earlier this month. If you're like me and have been on the edge of your seat – the wait is over! The new single world premiered on social networking site Mashable 2 days ago. Vocally, "Nuclear" blends the three independent women beautifully without mimicking the top 40 sound. It is a fresh approach for the top selling girl band and their fans.
Listen to Destiny's Child – Nuclear on Soundcloud here
Destiny's Child will release a collection of their hits in an album called, "Love Songs" later this month. Destiny's Child leader Beyonce Knowles will headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show on February 3rd and is the focus of a new HBO documentary "Life is but a Dream" premiering February 16th. I am certain a new single for Beyonce will premiere soon, but let's keep our fingers crossed for a full length Destiny's Child album. Check out the official trailer for the new HBO documentary "Life is but a Dream." I have this funny feeling Beyonce is gearing up to shock the world. Are you ready?

This series has been a long time coming. Really excited about this! Forever I've been hoping to share one video per month that's fun and different. A little about organization. A little more personal. A lot more fun.
We all love to hear from friends and family about the things they are currently obsessing over. Getting those great tips means you aren't wasting time and money too. Well, consider me your friend…even a family member! Because from here on, once per month you can look forward to seeing a video that includes my absolute favorites. The things I'm crushing on. Sometimes it might not even be a product…maybe it's a funny comedian (I love to laugh!) or an experience you should try. Nothing is off limits.
Well, almost nothing I guess.
I'm going to share my favorite clothing, home and beauty items, foods, workout stuff, and more. But of course each video will include something related to organization. And like with my clients, anything I recommend will be something worth the investment…if it's something you need. I'm not product pushy when it comes to organizing, but in this line of work…I've seen and tried hundreds of products. I do know what works and what is simply a waste of money.
And I can promise you this….these videos will not be sponsored. These are my seriously genuine obsessions. Real. Honest. The things I am actually head over heels about. I promise.
Wanted to elaborate a bit more about some things mentioned in this video.
One thing I sorta failed to do was adequately explain what I meant about creating a new habit. I was trying to get the video content out quickly and not make the video 20+ minutes. Guess I rushed it a bit. I'm learning! Anyway, in the section where I spoke about vitamins, what I meant to say completely was that in order to create a new habit, it helps to attach it to a habit you are already having success with. The example I shared was moving my vitamins to the counter near my coffee maker. Without fail, one of the first things I do every morning is make coffee. Having those vitamins sitting on the counter means that while coffee is brewing, I take my vitamins. And I do. Every day. When they were in my bathroom, I never took them at night…which was previously how I thought the habit would go down.
So try to attach a new habit to something you are already successful with.
These are the Zella Live In High Waist leggings and the Zella Stardust Training Jacket. They last forever and wash well. The white jacket tends to rub against my face and neck, so it gets a little make-up on the collar. It all washes out. And beautifully.
I hope you enjoy the video! Look forward to sharing one next month!
You need to link the other products mentioned in the video too! You are so cute in the video, loved watching!
Awe, thank you!! I linked to everything in the comment section of the video but will add it all here too! Thank you for the suggestion!
Can you do a quick tutorial on how you tie your hair in the knot?
Omg, yes – that would be fun! I have a few different ways depending on how my hair behaves day to day. haha!!!
Great video. . .sometimes printed words aren't enough. . .love seeing you with the product. Great job! I wrote down some gift ideas as well as your phrase "attach a new habit to something you are already successful with" — great advice!
Thank you so much!! I'm looking forward to sharing more of these – and I'm not a huge fan of being on camera. But as you said, it helps so much to see someone talking as opposed to reading.
Thank you so much for the comment!!
I loved this video! We just moved from from New Jersey to Plano, TX. We have been in an apt for 2 months but just bought a house. Very different layout than my East Coast home. One child in college, 1 teen home trying to do a major purge once again, my goal is to move in with less and have an organization system in place. Your tips are very helpful!
Awe, thank you and you're welcome! So glad the video was helpful!!

An 84-year-old man in this north Bihar district has caused a flutter with the claim that he has taken a dozen shots of the Covid-19 vaccine since every jab made him "feel better".
Brahmadeo Mandal lives in a village in Udakishanganj sub-division of Madhepura and claimed to have taken his 12th dose a few days ago.
"I have used my Aadhar card and my voter ID card on different occasions to get myself registered," said Mandal who is a retired postal department employee.
"Every single dose has helped relieve my chronic back pain. I have never caught cold since I took the first shot 11 months ago," he said, reading out date, time and site of each jab scribbled on a piece of paper.
Oddly, Mandal is not in possession of any system-generated vaccination certificate for these.
With the matter appearing in a section of the press, bewildered health officials have ordered a probe.
"It needs to be found out whether the man is bloviating or his claims have a modicum of truth," said district civil surgeon Amarendra Narayan Shahi.
He said that as per rules no person was supposed to be administered more than two doses.
"If his claim turns out to be true, officials concerned will face action. He may also end up facing the music for getting jabbed so many times knowingly and willingly," said the civil surgeon. PTI

Event spotlighting the benefits of an age-inclusive workplace
Cerys Lafferty
DURING the pandemic older people were more likely to leave the workforce than any other age group and for many, the door to re-employment remains firmly closed.
Older people can face many barriers to accessing and staying in employment, such as the lack of flexible working for those with caring responsibilities or those living with long term health conditions. But, given the right support, those who want to carry on working into later life can thrive in the workplace.
With the current cost-of-living crisis hitting older people particularly hard, it is more important than ever that we enable older people to enter and stay in employment, should they wish to do so. Older people who are supported to carry on working can become more resilient to the current cost-of-living crisis, and thereby develop a more financially secure future.
That is why Age Cymru and its partners have organised an in-person event 'A spotlight on employment and older people' that is being held at the Senedd buildings in Cardiff on January 31 2023 from 12pm to 2pm.
The event is based on a collection of essays written in 2022 by academics, employers, and older employees for Age Cymru's academic journal EnvisAGE.
Sponsored by Mike Hedges MS, the event will explore how employers in Wales are creating workplaces where older workers can thrive, and the benefits that a mixed aged workforce can bring to organisations. It will also explore some of the barriers that older people face when seeking or trying to remain in employment.
The Minister for Economy, Vaughan Gething MS will provide a focus on Welsh Government's priorities regarding work and older people, and there will also be presentations from Professor John Williams, Emeritus Professor, Department of Law and Criminology at Aberystwyth University and chair of Age Cymru; Dr Martin Hyde, Associate Professor in Gerontology at Swansea University; and Sue Husband OBE, Director, Business in The Community (Cymru).
While Glynis Scarico from the age inclusive employer Legal & General will explain how they benefit from employing a mixed-aged workforce. And one of their employees, Vivienne Russell, will talk first-hand about how they have personally benefited from working for an age-friendly organisation.
In addition to the presentations there will be an opportunity to network and view information stands relevant to the older workforce. Light refreshments will also be available for guests.
If you would like to attend, please contact Dr Ceri Cryer at [email protected], or call 029 2043 1555.
Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

Q: vue js - implementing a tree, nested component vs single I'm looking at this:
https://jsfiddle.net/chrisvfritz/pnqzspoe/

Vue.component('item', {
  template: '#item-template',
  props: {
    model: Object
  },
  data: function () {
    return {
      open: false
    }
  },
  computed: {
    isFolder: function () {
      return this.model.children &&
        this.model.children.length
    }
  },
  methods: {
    toggle: function () {
      if (this.isFolder) {
        this.open = !this.open
        this.$emit("expand")  // doesn't work properly
      }
    },
    changeType: function () {
      if (!this.isFolder) {
        Vue.set(this.model, 'children', [])
        this.addChild()
        this.open = true
      }
    },
    addChild: function () {
      this.model.children.push({
        name: 'new stuff'
      })
    }
  }
})

And I want to implement some features here:
1. Node selecting functionality. So each node will have a 'selected' property whether it is selected or not.
2. An 'expand' event which will fire when a node is expanded (to load nodes via ajax).
The problem:
The 'expand' event is going only one level up. So it will not be work properly. I've figured two solutions: creating an event bus and passing it to each  instance. Or  creating a wrapper component and pass it to all children and use it as an event bus.
Also I would like to manage all the selected nodes in one place, so I'll have to duplicate this data on both the nodes and in another element.
Because of this I am confusing whether to nest components like that, or maybe just create a single  component, and pass it all the data. The overhead here is that I will have to iterate (recursion?) all the nodes in order to add additional attributes like 'selected', and 'open'. (and vue already iterate recursively in order to make properties reactive)
So what is the better option - nested  components, or one  component?

A: I don't think you need nested component, it will make the logic complex.
Below is my solution for lazy load one node (expand):

*

*add one prop = actions, which allow parent component/view register its event, then bind to the click event.

*parent component/view defines its lazy load function, then bind <item :actions="{your lazy load function}">
You can do the similar thing for the selected.
The codes will be like below:

var demoData = {
  name: 'My Tree',
  children: [
    { name: 'hello' },
    { name: 'wat' },
    {
      name: 'child folder',
      children: [
        {
          name: 'child folder',
          children: [
            { name: 'hello' },
            { name: 'wat' }
          ]
        },
        { name: 'hello' },
        { name: 'wat' },
        {
          name: 'child folder',
          children: [
            { name: 'hello' },
            { name: 'wat' }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Vue.component('item', {
  template: '#item-template',
  props: {
    model: Object,
    'actions': {
      type: Object,
      default: ()=>{ return {
          'loadNode': function(clickedObj){console.log('default',clickedObj)},

    }
  },

From high rankings and world-class facilities to admission of only the best and brightest students, there are a lot of factors that play into the notoriety of a top business school. Another trademark: big shot faculty. Premier business schools such as The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, for instance, maintain faculty rosters with names like Adam Grant and Jeremy Siegel. Superstars are what you might call them — in academia anyway.
Whether they're as highly acclaimed as Grant and Siegel or not, business school faculty are often research-generating machines. Study after study, one journal article after another, they create and disseminate new knowledge about the inner workings of business. And, as it turns out, there's more for undergraduate students to gain from them than just classroom learning and office hours. Just ask NYU Stern's Hayden Edelson.
This semester, Edelson and a group of seven other Stern undergraduate students are serving as research assistants to professor Arun Sundararajan, considered by many to be the top authoritative voice on the gig economy and the potential end of employment as we currently know it.
To be sure, the label "research assistant" does not equate to low-level grunt work for Edelson and his fellow student researchers. Part of the study, which focuses on New York City's changing workforce and how officials can prepare for the growing gig economy, has included meetings with New York City's Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen and Mayor Bill de Blasio.
For Edelson and the others, the experience is made possible thanks to the Stern Undergraduate Research Program. SPUR, as it's called, gives undergraduate students a chance to collaborate with professors on scholarly research for academic credits. At the beginning of each semester, SPUR's database is filled with research opportunities for students to browse through then apply to be a part of a research team.
In Edelson's case, the research of choice is a collaborative study with the city of New York — primarily with Glen's office — aiming to provide evidence-based program and policy recommendations for the sharing economy. Or, "crowd-based capitalism," as Sundararajan calls it in a recent book he penned.
For undergraduates, gaining real-world experience is crucial. Whether that's found through internships, traveling abroad, or serving in a leadership role for on-campus activities, it's the experience that counts.
For Edelson, working alongside Sundararajan has brought new meaning to this notion as he has spent the better part of this semester getting his hands dirty in real-world, real-time data.
The findings of that preliminary research was then presented by the students before Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen and office staff.
"This is a really good opportunity to dive deep into things affecting real people's lives in major urban centers and to analyze trends in the workforce," says Edelson, who is a finance major with a track in real estate and a double minor in urban design and psychology. "I think the standout moment for us so far was going to City Hall. The Deputy Mayor came to speak to us with her staff and she really emphasized how big of an issue this was becoming. Then, we bumped into Mayor de Blasio and even he was taken aback by the work we are doing.
More recently the students have started training for in-person interviews as Sundararajan prepares to send them out and into the field. In pairs, they'll meet with corporate human resources representatives, gathering data about benefits packages for their workforce.
"I think this is one of the best ways for undergrads — who spend so much time in classes and working on cases and hypotheticals — to take their studies beyond the classroom and have a premier opportunity to analyze issues in the real world in current time," says Edelson.

"Formula Renault UK to return in 2014"
Leigh O'Gorman	2014 Racing Season, FRUK Opinion and News	 June 24, 2013 June 24, 2013 2 Minutes
© Renault Sport
The Formula Renault UK Championship is set to return to UK shores next year.
Backed by British Automobile Racing Club (BARC) and French car giant, Renault, the reinvigorated series will utilise all-carbon Signatech chassis and a class of 1.6-litre, 140hp Twingo Renaultsport engines.
Aimed at drivers between the ages of 16 and 19, the series will market itself as a post-karting / pre-Formula Renault 2.0 or Formula 3 category. When finalised, the 18-20 race calendar is set to fix a break during examination periods, in order to promote minimum study disruption those competitors still in school.
Drivers who join the series will also be required to sign up to an MSA-monitored fitness programme and will also receive training in media relations, sponsorship procurement and presentation skills.
It is an interesting launch, although one must again question the need for yet another junior category in the UK.
Although the BRDC Formula 4 category has filled grids for its inaugural season through very low costs, there is still little indication as to how this will perform in the long run. With that, the renewed Formula Ford category has struggled to obtain more than twelve entrants per round this year.
BARC have been running the Protyre Formula Renault series in the UK this year, also with relatively small grids; however that has been more of a stepping stone to fill the void left by the original FRUK at the end of 2011. Rather than being a strict replacement for the Protyre series, it is believe the new FRUK series could run parallel to the existing Formula Renault UK series.
Championship manager Simon North commented, "We're thrilled to announce the birth of the Formula Renault UK 1.6 Championship, it's the perfect category to bridge the gap which currently exists in Britain between karting and the higher levels of junior single-seater racing, such as Formula Renault 2.0," while also adding, "Formula Renault 1.6 is an inexpensive first step for drivers coming out of karting to take and, most importantly, the car is a proven, incredibly safe, fully carbon chassis.
"We didn't want to see drivers as young as 16 racing having to develop a brand new car, so a proven chassis with an excellent safety record was the only option for Renaultsport and the BARC."
North maintains that the new Formula Renault category will be more than just another championship in an already cluttered market. "Not since the 1990s has there been a strong, truly 'junior' formula in UK motorsport. But we're not just introducing another car and another championship, we're bringing a different direction, with fully linked programmes, which enable drivers to have maximum focus on their education at the same time as setting off on the path towards a professional motor racing career."
He concluded, "Our aim is for the Formula Renault UK 1.6 Championship to prepare drivers for Formula Renault 2.0, which is why we'll be reviewing our existing 2.0-litre category to see what steps we can take to maintain a proper progression between the two."

One-on-one interaction with an external coach can provide a focus that other forms of organizational support cannot. The purpose of the executive coaching is to support and encourage the leader to improve performance and to develop the skills necessary for success. The process typically involves gathering data from interviews or assessments, goal setting and measurement, aligning individual goals with organizational goals, and regular conversations that build on how to best use the individual's strengths to be as successful as possible.
Executive coaching was once viewed as a tool to help correct the shortcomings of underperformers. Today it is used in supporting top producers, and to sharpen the skills of individuals identified as future organizational leaders, as identified through succession planning. Coaching develops leaders in the context of their current jobs, without removing them from their day-to-day responsibilities.
As individuals advance to the executive level, many plateau in critical interpersonal and leadership skill levels because feedback becomes increasingly more infrequent and unreliable.
So, when does a coach make sense? An executive coach can be very helpful when transitioning to a new job, a new employer, or with challenges that occur when employees resist new ideas.
What makes a good executive coach? The executive coach must have high-level business experience for the relationship to work. The executive and the coach must be peers. To provide appropriate guidance, the coach should have worked in the corporate world, but also have held senior line positions.
Please contact TowerHunter to discuss the most appropriate solution to the challenges you or your executives may be facing.

Hitler's Supercity
A model of the the Volkshalle (People's Hall)
Today on Far Future Horizons we take another foray in Alternate History and visit once again a world in which Hitler victoriously defeats the allies.
Hitler caused more death and destruction than anyone else in history. But he also had plans to build on a massive scale and wanted to build a German city, called Germania, on a par with the glories of ancient Greece and Rome. Germania was to be a city that celebrated the victory of Nazi Germany had Hitler been victorious.
Albert Speer examining plans with Hitler at the Berghof (1938)
Lost Worlds pieces together a picture of how Hitler envisioned Germania as it rose from the ashes, like a triumphant Phoenix from the ruins of war based on plans of his architect Albert Speer.
A model of Adolf Hitler's plan for Berlin formulated under the direction of Albert Speer, looking north toward the Volkshalle at the top of the frame.
In Nuremberg, Hitler's Supercity recreates the Zeppelin Tribune: where 60,000 people could overlook a parade ground. Discover the real purpose of the 405,000-seat stadium Speer planned to hold the Olympic Games. And computer-generated images based on Speer's plans bring to life the monuments Hitler planned for himself: the Triumphal Arch, twice the height and four times the width of Paris's Arc de Triomphe and the People's Hall (Volkshalle), a structure so big the Eiffel Tower could fit inside it.
Volkshalle Model
Monstrous, intimidating, built on slave labour, this is the Lost World we would now be living in if the Second World War had gone differently.

Informal Romanticism
The French Revolution of 1789 expressed a primal, informal, romanticism that was an inspiration for the philosophical romanticism that developed soon after. It was a projection outward of subjective aspirations, heroically, against the teeth of practicality and realism as defined by the apparent balance of forces and probable achievements. "This is what we want. I don't care if dreams cannot come true. This expresses my (spiritual) interiority." The romantic attitude is the opposite of "practical" and "realistic" as ordinarily used. Plans and proposals that count as practical and realistic always expresses a normative political force. In authoritarian cultures, any kind of change in the organization of wealth, power, or status, is considered unrealistic and impractical, and so romantic. That is core conservative political rhetoric and mind-set. In the conservative lexicon "romantic" means frivolous, trivial, crazy, dangerously destructive. Informal romanticism is an assertion of the power of subjectivity against objective actuality, a willing acceptance of the creative non-actuality of subjectivity, but still asserting its value and power. In addition to privileging subjective non-actuality over brute objective actuality, informal romanticism is also a certain characterization of subjectivity, emphasizing the creative, chaotic, emotionally expressive character of dreams in subjectivity. It doesn't have to be a denial of the reality of objective actuality, only a categorical rejection of the sovereignty and sufficiency of actuality, a resistance to claims of such a sovereignty. The romantic attitude puts emphasis on the creativity of subjectivity, on subjectivity as lawless and capricious, and so on the removal of subjectivity from the pre-determination of both nature and the normative force of cultural models. (Every individual has normative social conformity requirements in addition to the fall-line of physics to limit the possibilities of overtly manifested creativity.) That removal from pre-determination is here called the spiritual interiority of subjectivity.
There was something wildly terrible, tragic, and beautiful (romantic) about the French Revolution, the doomed efforts of age-long victims of aristocratic macro-parasitism, risking their lives and a marginally viable way of life for a slim hope of justice and dignity. By the time of that revolution, Germans had long ago attempted their revolution in the form of the Protestant Reformation, launched by Martin Luther in 1517, and which eventually brought the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), down on their heads. That history left Germans pretty well intimidated, but still substantially Protestant (in very regulated forms) by 1789. However, it could be argued that the Revolution became necessary in France because the Reformation had been so quickly and brutally repressed in the French Wars of Religion in the second half of the sixteenth century, soon after Luther launched the protestant movement. So, as a continuation of post-Reformation re-thinking of fundamental certainties and possibilities (the Enlightenment movement), the Revolution burst forth, and afterward the reactionary backlash inevitably followed, just as it had against the Reformation.
In yet another historical rebound of cultural forces, philosophical Romanticism was an interpretation of the French Revolution by the German academic, literary, and artistic class, just as the Revolution was a kind of French interpretation of the German Reformation (then more than two centuries in the past). The human interconnectedness is a medium and an echo chamber in which cultural creations get refracted by interpretations from person to person (interiority to interiority) and from group to group. In 1789 Germany was emphatically backward looking in political culture as a legacy of the Thirty Years War. German intellectuals such as Johann Fichte (1762-1814) and the artist known as Novalis (1772-1801) were both excited and repelled by the Revolution because in Germany they were immersed in a neo-medieval ideology of admiration for Christendom and its chivalrous aristocracy, even though they longed for complete freedom of thought at the same time. The young German intellectuals felt the thrill of new freedom but desperately wanted to fit it into the stability of existing (medieval) institutions in Germany. They merely wanted people like themselves to be recognized as meriting membership in the fellowship of the privileged.
Broad Effects of Philosophical Fundamentals
Those historical upheavals and catastrophes are inseparably involved with philosophical fundamentals, and especially philosophical conceptions of idealism, of which romanticism is one particular form. Idealism generally asserts that there is a category of non-actuality which is supra-actual, transcendent, and as such indispensable in any conception of reality. That category is what was described above, in relation to informal romanticism, as the spiritual interiority of subjectivity. Both of the following usages of "ideal" illustrate that special interiority. Certain politicians are described as 'idealist' rather than pragmatic. Idealist politicians are aspirational in the sense of striving for something not yet actual, something there is reason to believe would be better, but which might be impossible. Also, there is the sense of idealism in "idealized", in which things are simplified and imagined in a perfected condition. The "idealized" item is distinct from any actual items, and it is commonly understood that, as such, it is interior to some or other subjectivity as an idea. In articulating the importance of a category of non-actuality, idealism goes "through the looking glass" as far as traditional social structures of all kinds are concerned, and so, much depends on the way idealism is conceived. Idealism is politically explosive because it is an affirmation and embracing of a supra-actuality, something more important than whatever nature, previous history, and the sagacious ancestors have bestowed on the current generation in terms of social norms and ways of seeing the world.
Standard Idealism: Plato and Hegel
The directionality of any human gaze is so laden with what cannot be perceived, with subjective non-actualities such as futurity, aspirations, and lessons learned, (caring, anticipation, evaluation) that it points (in addition to a region of surroundings) in a direction that can only be characterized as personally inward, to an interiority of spiritual non-actuality. Any philosophical idealism is some model of spirituality and a recognition of spirituality as elemental or non-reducible. In other words, idealism is some version of absolute recognition of the special interiority of intelligences. Recognizing the special non-actuality of spiritual interiority gives any position an aspect of idealism. A strong idealism asserts that the most fundamental character of the cosmos is intelligence or spirituality.
Romanticism is a kind of idealism, but not the only kind. For example, Plato's idealism is quite different, and Platonic idealism has been the most influential by far, having established from ancient times a dominance in the European system of cultural reality that still has considerable force. Plato's Ideal Forms are profoundly stable, eternal, removed from the space/ time and materiality of the mundane world, and so automatically associated with (the interiority of) some kind of divine super-intelligence. In Platonism, the Ideal Forms occupy a position near the top of a metaphysical hierarchy, a structure of descent from a divine One-ness at the highest level of reality down to a churning multiplicity of ephemeral appearances at the level of everyday experience. Their association with intelligence is far removed from ordinary subjectivity and from the capricious personality which some romantics have imagined as divine intelligence. Also, Hegelian idealism has been vastly influential, especially as it lives on in Marxism, in spite of the declared materialism of Marxism (dialectical materialism). The historical effects of Marxism are yet more consequences of the mutating conceptions of idealism. Hegel's is clearly a mutation of Platonic idealism, a vision of cosmic history as the striving of all-encompassing universal Being toward full reality and self-recognition as Ideal Form. Hegel retains the Platonic metaphysical structure (including levels of reality not unlike those in Roy Bhaskar's Critical Realism), but in Hegelian idealism the universal Being starts from the bottom and is striving up the "chain of ascent" to the divine One-ness at the final and highest stage of reality.
The Kantian Revolution against Platonism
Then there is the kind of idealism which occasioned philosophical romanticism, namely Kantian idealism, which maps out the necessity of personal spiritual activity in the construction of ordinary knowledge of the world, of every individual's orientation in the world. Kantian idealism is the most personal and subjective of the philosophical visions of spirituality, especially as tweaked by Fichte. Fichte's early work, in which he first rejects Kant's idea of "thing-in-itself" and develops the idea of the individual subjective "I" which must posit its entire world, is the clearest alternative to top-down visions of the cosmos in the whole history of philosophy. Fichte's vision is a re-orientation or re-conceptualization of reality as a whole, situating individual intelligence at the creative source. Such a re-orientation was implicit in Luther's "leap of faith", but was not fully articulated before Kant and Fichte, and there could have been no Fichte without Kant. Romantic idealism was clearly a development from Kantian idealism, although hardly a straightforward one.
Although Kant did describe his work as "a Copernican Revolution" in philosophy, it is not clear that he recognized the full bottom-up social and political implications of his personalized idealism. Kant was a social and political moderate-conservative, and as a university professor employed by the state, his livelihood depended on being seen as a supporter of the status quo, more or less. However, the spiritual entity who is the subject having experiences in Kant's vision is self-legislating and so has no need for the Church, aristocracy, or any other social authority. Personal spirituality for Kant is almost monadic, clearly influenced by Leibniz in that way but completely free of Leibniz's totalitarian predetermination. Kant's personally interior idealism would logically lead to an equality of individuals based on autonomous spirituality, and so it implicitly discredited the whole social edifice of aristocracy and the hierarchy of Christendom. That qualifies Kant's idealism as an extension of the European revolutionary movement into the matrix of ideas. That is the Kantian revolution, although it is doubtful that the early romantic philosophers understood it in that way. Nevertheless, the response in Romanticism was something altogether shocking: a declaration that philosophy as an activity should be abandoned completely and replaced by art; a call to forsake philosophical thinking, the better to seek immersion in poetry, music, stories, and images. That is why romanticism is more prominent as a literary and artistic movement than as a philosophical system. Something in their interpretation of Kantian idealism brought the romantic philosophers face to face with a vision of human tragedy from which they recoiled. The tragedy does not arise from Kantian idealism or Fichte's absolute I. Those are not tragic visions.
The Tragedy of Romanticism
Radical French philosophers had made an attempt to construct a Plato-busting bottom-up metaphysics with their materialism (in the footsteps of ancient Epicureans), after the suppression of the reformation in France, and it had been remarkably effective up to a point, but it was not sustainable. Materialism and freedom are mutually exclusive. It was Kant's elaboration of Luther's idea of spiritual freedom which really accomplished (on the second attempt, so to speak) the bottom-up metaphysics. Kant's idealism is clearly set at the level of the ordinary individual person because it is in continuous engagement with brute actualities of the ambient world within which the spirituality finds itself, entangled with effects of the "thing-in-itself". However, the early romantics encountered Kantian idealism in their studies as Fichte's philosophy students, and so really encountered Fichte's interpretation of Kant, and they never took it seriously enough as a description of normal individual intelligence or spirituality with broad implications for empathy, sociability, and politics. Romantic philosophers lived in a very hierarchical culture and age. They would have taken value strata among human beings as self-evident givens. The grip of their top-down orientation was so strong that they couldn't conceive the absence of hierarchy. So, they came to understand Fichte's absolute "I" (so much more monadic than Kant's because of the absence of a countervailing thing-in-itself) as a portrait of divine mind, the mind of God. Certainly it could be argued that the main effect of Fichte's dismissal of the thing-in-itself was exactly to make his conception of spirituality less human and essentially divine.
As a vision of the divine mind, there was profound novelty about Fichte's "absolute ego" as compared to the God of Abraham, of Maimonides, or even the purely rational God conceived by Leibniz (much closer to Fichte in cultural tradition). The Abrahamic God is bound and limited by goodness and by love for his creatures. However, the philosophy students who were on their way to developing the romantic vision, could not help but see Fichte's divine subjectivity through the lens of their experience of the French Revolution, an intensely violent uprising completely justified by the stark contrast between the lives of the privileged in European society and the lives of the drudgery classes, gross institutionalized injustices, any change to which threatened the entire social order of their world. In that light, it was impossible to hold onto the idea of divinity limited by goodness. To the romantics, Fichte's divine mind is absolute monadic creativity, an artist god, with no responsibility to any other and not bound or limited by anything. Fichte's absolute ego, in its romantic interpretation, was not the slightest bit interested in morality or orderly civil society, and was nothing like perfectly rational as Leibniz's God was. He issued no demands to humans for obedience, reverence, or worship, but also offered nothing to balance human suffering, no eternal reward, no redemption from guilt. Instead, he was a playful artist creating drama, emotional upheaval, and shocking beauty. In many ways, this was an historically novel concept, including a form of creativity that was broadly applicable to individual humans. With the absolute ego from Fichte, the emphasis is more on creativity than on command, control, reward, or punishment, and that removes some emphasis from command and control generally even in worldly social and political situations. It also recognizes creativity as the core of subjectivity. Fundamentally, it was gender neutral in conception, although in style and application it was full of male bias.
For Romantics, then, there is a single immaterial spirit with a personality and mental life quite similar to a human's but with infinitely more power. The Romantic deity is an artist. This spirit has dreams, it indulges itself in daydreaming, and those dreams are the world that humans inhabit, ourselves being dream-things in those dreams. Whimsically, he picks certain people to be his prophets, and grants favours and inspiration to certain heroes and artists, like the gods of ancient Greece were supposed to do. Every landscape is an inner landscape for romantics, pervaded with dream code-work, disguises, and multi-layered associations, unrestricted by cultural norms or by the laws of physics. With the inner landscape, things display (obliquely) their emotional meaning in their appearance, as things do in dreams. What romantics saw in this new idealism was the artist God who toys with the world, and with the humans in the world, without any interest in justice or redemption, as proven by the spectacle of the Revolution and the light it shed on social organization and the force of history.
This conception of the divine mind meant that the Christian religion as traditionally constituted, with pledges of eternal reward and redemption, upon which the stability of the European social hierarchy and culture depended, was a lie. Earthly suffering has no meaning other than the whimsical amusement of an omnipotent daydreamer. Romantics saw the political enforcement of Christendom as a version of Plato's "noble lie" (Republic), and they accepted the necessity of using that lie to preserve the organization of society, so that some small minority at least could devote themselves to beauty and ideal things, supporting and enjoying the arts, the work of artists, for their own immersion in transcendent beauty. The human artist became the example of the optimal, godlike, human being. However, the romantics also felt tragedy in the need to lie to repress the vain aspirations of the vast majority, in a world so made as to depend on such a lie. Privileged people don't want social justice and can't want it because for them the age-old forms of injustice are the price that must be paid so that some few (themselves) can live the higher life of refinement, beauty, and ideal things, a milieu enabling such contemplations as math and science, but above all artistic beauty, as close as possible to the life of the high God and as such the authentic heartbeat of their civilization.
On that worldview, we humans are dreamed just enough in God's image to think sometimes that we have freedom and power to achieve justice, but that thought is an illusion, and so the human situation is fundamentally tragic. The immediate form of our tragedy is the squalid institutions of unalterable human inequality. We must either accept being deceived by the dirtiest of lies or else be parties to proclaiming that lie, and the problem with philosophy is that its history has brought it to the point of exposing the deception and undermining the civilization of the champions of beauty. For romantics, the only real power we have is to dream, to create our interior non-actualities. That is the romantic vision of transcendence available to humans, and they take it as our shield against glimpsing the ugliness of the broader human situation. The romantic idea of the deity is an emphatic confirmation that the social oppression they witnessed was so entrenched as to appear metaphysically decreed.
Romantic idealism, then, is yet another top-down vision of divine spirituality, a mutation of Platonism into a more modern idiom. The real implication of Kantian idealism was completely different, a sort of re-distribution of spiritual creativity and power down from on-high and into the multiplicity of agents engaging in ordinary experience. The romantic vision of tragedy arises by removing spiritual agency from every individual and ascribing it instead to a universal deity, imposing a completely inappropriate top-down orientation on Kant's vision of interior spirituality. In doing that, philosophical romanticism seems to glorify subjectivity, but in fact trivializes it. The romantic call to leave philosophy and turn to art and culture is profoundly political and strictly conservative. Their nihilism was the angst of the unjustly privileged, an awareness of the stark and pointless contrast between their lives and the lives of the drudgery class.
The Tragic Sense of Life
We are still living with legacies of romantic idealism, for example in the commonplace declaration that "stories are all we have". The conclusion and fulfillment of that philosophical Romanticism is a resolve to abandon thinking that goes beyond stories and instead to concentrate on moments of subjective ecstasy or rapture in the altered states inspired by poetry, tragic drama, music, and stories of magic, wonders, and heroes. "Since actuality is ugly, depressing, and utterly beyond our control, let's achieve the transcendence of personal tranquility and joy by listening to awesome music, contemplating beautiful images, or absorbing our minds in narratives of heroism and nobility." The romantic "elevation" of ideal things is completely idle, and the narrative sparkle and flash of tragic heroes, witches, wizards, demons, exotic locations, high drama, violent conflict, glory in battle, dangerous rescues, lost causes, fatal flaws, futile but beautiful gestures, narrative suspense and satisfying resolutions, are all merely hiding romantic nihilism. That turn of romanticism is very much like mysticism, which embraces the trances and altered states of consciousness resulting from sensory deprivation, drugs, or mortification of the flesh as if they were higher states of being.

Newcastle scores draw in first game with caretake manager
Newcastle claimed their first point under new ownership as caretaker manager Graeme Jones led them to a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Christian Benteke gave Palace the lead in the 56th minute, but a spectacular overhead kick from Callum Wilson nine minutes later drew Newcastle level.
Watford engineered a stunning late turnaround to claim a 5-2 victory over Everton at Goodison Park. Richarlison looked like he might have marked his return from injury with the winner after putting the Toffees back ahead in the 63rd minute, Josh King having previously cancelled out Tom Davies' very early opener.
King struck again against his former club two minutes later and then completed his hat-trick in the 86th minute before Emmanuel Dennis added a fifth in injury time.
Maxwel Cornet scored twice more for Burnley but they were left still searching for a first league win of the season after drawing 2-2 with Southampton.
Leeds salvaged a late point at Wolves thanks to Rodrigo's injury-time penalty. Wolves thought they had secured a fourth straight victory thanks to Hwang Hee-chan's 10th-minute opener, but Joe Gelhardt was fouled late on and Leeds earned a 1-1 draw.
Australia take nail-biting T20 win over South Africa
Marcus Stoinis took Australia home with a match-winning 24 not out under pressure to beat South Africa by five wickets and open the Super 12 stage at the T20 World Cup on Saturday. Stoinis won the Group 1 game and the first meeting of heavyweights at the tournament with a four over midwicket, taking Australia to 121-5 with two balls to spare and past what appeared to be an easy victory target of 119.
It wasn't so straightforward, though, as South Africa showed late fight, inspired by a flying catch by Aiden Markram at wide mid-on to dismiss Steve Smith for 35. The equation came down to 18 off the last two overs. A composed Stoinis eased the pressure with a four off Anrich Nortje in the second-last over, also over midwicket, and hit two boundaries in the last over off Dwaine Pretorius. The result flipped the recent form book after Australia had lost its last five T20 series and South Africa had won its last three.
England rugby league side ease to 30-10 win over France
England failed to capitalise on a flying start against France in Perpignan but still managed to deliver a comfortable victory for head coach Shaun Wane in his first Test match.
New captain John Bateman was among the tries as Wane's men raced into a 20-0 lead after 17 minutes but they encountered some stern French resistance in the final hour and in the end had to be satisfied with a 30-10 win.
On the day England were due to kick off the 2021 World Cup in Newcastle, a fixture arranged to help plug the gap left them with mixed emotions.
Wane, who handed debuts to eight players, will be thrilled by his side's bright and breezy start but, after staring at a heavy defeat, France coach Laurent Frayssinous will take great encouragement from his team's fightback in his first match in charge.
Frayssinous was able to blood eight youngsters with an eye on next year's World Cup, while Wane knows he will be able to call on the likes of Sam Tomkins, Tom Burgess, Mark Percival, Daryl Clark and Elliot Whitehead for the bigger games ahead.
Ash Barty withdraws from WTA Finals over Australia quarantine rules
World No 1 Ashleigh Barty will not defend her season-ending WTA Finals title nor compete further in 2021 due to quarantine restrictions in her native Australia
The 25-year-old, who spent two weeks in quarantine after returning from the US Open in September to her home in Brisbane said she is "not willing to compromise my preparation for January" when the Australian Open is scheduled to begin.
"I wanted to let everyone know that I won't be competing in any further tournaments in 2021, including the WTA Finals in Mexico " Barty said in a statement on Saturday.
"It was a difficult decision but I need to prioritise my body and my recovery from our 2021 season and focus on having the strongest preseason for the Australian summer.

Was McNamara a War Criminal?
"Had we lost, we would have been tried as war criminals," said late Robert Strange McNamara, a former US defense secretary, who died today at age 93. One of the key architects and chief orchestrator of the deadly Vietnam war was quoting his commanding officer General Curtis Le May on the US firebombing of Japan that set entire cities ablaze. Just one night of intense Tokyo bombing by Americans is estimated to have burned 100,000 civilians to death.
Talking about the Vietnam war in the 2003 documentary "The Fog of War", McNamara acknowledged the irreparable damage done by the defoliants, and the human cost of the bombing of Vietnam, where "more bombs were dropped than in the whole of WWII." The Vietnam War cost the United States 58,000 lives and 350,000 casualties. It also resulted in between one and two million Vietnamese deaths.
Here are eleven lessons from the Vietnam War that McNamara spelled out in the "Fog of War" documentary:
1. We misjudged then — and we have since — the geopolitical intentions of our adversaries … and we exaggerated the dangers to the United States of their actions.
2. We viewed the people and leaders of South Vietnam in terms of our own experience … We totally misjudged the political forces within the country.
3. We underestimated the power of nationalism to motivate a people to fight and die for their beliefs and values.
4. Our judgments of friend and foe, alike, reflected our profound ignorance of the history, culture, and politics of the people in the area, and the personalities and habits of their leaders.
5. We failed then — and have since — to recognize the limitations of modern, high-technology military equipment, forces, and doctrine.
6. We failed, as well, to adapt our military tactics to the task of winning the hearts and minds of people from a totally different culture.
7. We failed to draw Congress and the American people into a full and frank discussion and debate of the pros and cons of a large-scale military involvement … before we initiated the action.
8. After the action got under way, and unanticipated events forced us off our planned course … we did not fully explain what was happening, and why we were doing what we did.
9. We did not recognize that neither our people nor our leaders are omniscient. Our judgement of what is in another people's or country's best interest should be put to the test of open discussion in international forums. We do not have the God-given right to shape every nation in our image or as we choose.
10. We did not hold to the principle that U.S. military action … should be carried out only in conjunction with multinational forces supported fully (and not merely cosmetically) by the international community.
11. We failed to recognize that in international affairs, as in other aspects of life, there may be problems for which there are no immediate solutions … At times, we may have to live with an imperfect, untidy world.
In a 1995 interview with The Associated Press, McNamara confessed that "we of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations acted according to what we thought were the principles and traditions of our country. But we were wrong. We were terribly wrong." He never admitted responsibility for the Vietnam war but the terrible cost in terms of human life probably haunted him until his death.
After retiring as Defense secretary from the Johnson administration, Mr. McNamara served as the president of the World Bank with the charter to alleviate poverty. In an interview with Doug Saunders of Canada's Globe and Mail, McNamara decided to break his silence on Iraq. When Saunders told him that his carefully enumerated lists of historic lessons from Vietnam were in danger of being ignored, he agreed, and added that he was deeply frustrated to see history repeating itself.
"We're misusing our influence," he said. "It's just wrong what we're doing. It's morally wrong, it's politically wrong, it's economically wrong."
While he did not want to talk on the record about specific military decisions made Mr. Rumsfeld, he said the United States is fighting a war that he believes is totally unnecessary and has managed to destroy important relationships with potential allies. "There have been times in the last year when I was just utterly disgusted by our position, the United States' position vis-à-vis the other nations of the world."
Will the US leaders learn from America's historical mistakes and the eleven lessons from wars as spelled out by McNamara in the "Fog of War"? I am not too sanguine about it, but I'd like to hope so.
In spite of McNamara's introspection, candor and regrets about his role in Word War II and Vietnam War later in life, it is unlikely that the future historians will judge him kindly.
Here's a video clip from The Fog of War:

McNamara deserves kudos for answering that question in the affirmative for himself. Muslims, Islamists, Americans, and others would do well to think about whether they can live up to that level of honesty.
Riaz Haq said...
ashrafs,
While I agree with you about his honesty, I think his crimes are unforgivable and his unwelcome legacy is long lasting.
mayqueen said...
He was a criminal. Period
He knew the war was lost in 67 yet still sent tens of thousands more to their death just to back up his and LBJs ego.Each death was merely quantified and body count has to be the worst strategy ever undertaken.War is a real estate business and war criminals don't always wear uniforms.

Symposium on SGI President Daisaku Ikeda's 2018 Peace Proposal Held in Chandigarh
Baba Makhan Shah Lobana Foundation Auditorium, Chandigarh
The first peace symposium of this year based on Ikeda Sensei's 2018 peace proposal titled "Towards an Era of Human Rights: Building a People's Movement", was held at Chandigarh on 30th April 2018.
The symposium was held in Baba Makhan Shah Lobana Foundation Auditorium, Chandigarh and was attended by over 450 members and guests.
To discuss the peace proposal the eminent speakers at the symposium were, Mr Vivek Atray, renowned Author and Motivational Speaker and Mrs. Navraj Sandhu, Additional Chief Secretary, Government of Haryana. The keynote address was delivered by General V. P. Malik, PVSM, AVSM (Retd.), Former Chief of Army Staff.
Speaking first, Mr Vivek Atray said "It is remarkable and outstanding that every year President Ikeda submits a Peace proposal which is so meticulously prepared and very well written, which has the potential to change the world. It is practical and at the same time deeply spiritual". Speaking further Mr. Atray shared, "Peace does not mean being in a place where there is no noise or trouble, it means being calm even in the midst of those things"
Elaborating on the role of women in achieving global peace mentioned in the peace Proposal Mrs. Navraj Sandhu shared various anecdotes on leadership demonstrated by women and how they are taking the lead in all areas. Mrs. Sandhu said she was overwhelmed by the pleasant and warm welcome received when she arrived. Speaking further she said that the peace proposal is panoramic in its vision and talked about women bringing decisive change in society. She closed with a quote by Mother Teresa,
"Not all of us can do great things but all of us can do small things with great love".
In his keynote address, General V.P. Malik, shared that having seen so much of bloodshed, soldiers are the biggest promoters of peace. He said, "Peace comes in pieces and not in a package". He said that if we work on these pieces one at a time, then lasting peace can be realized.
This was the first time a Peace Symposium was held in Chandigarh and there was great enthusiasm and joy in the preparations towards the symposium. Thanks to the efforts of members to reach out to a wide segment of society, the Auditorium was packed with guests. As mentioned by various guests, the warm welcome of the volunteers uplifted the lives of everyone who walked in. The meticulous and advance preparation by the volunteers ensured that the Symposium was a great success.
