Quite a few people were taken in this morning by a bogus press release suggesting that developer Marc Williams has had an epiphany and sold his Pantages Theatre condo development site to the City of Vancouver for social housing. It comes one day before the civic election where affordable housing and housing the homeless are hot issues.
There's been a concerted effort among social housing activists to try and stop Williams' plan for condos, an arts centre and some social housing at 138 East Hastings. The property includes five parcels, including the now-gone Pantages Theatre.
This morning journalists all over the city received an email from "Marc Williams" from a gmail account purporting to announce he'd sold the properties to the city, which had then promised to build "100 per cent social housing".
It included a glowing quote from Mayor Gregor Robertson, and some equally glowing and self-effacing comments from Williams about having a change of heart.
Within minutes journalists started Tweeting out the news, and the Georgia Straight quickly and breezily wrote an online story based entirely on the press release. Ouch. Here's their corrective story.
Within minutes the ruse was up. But not before a LOT of people, including political candidates, journalists and social housing activists got trapped.
Williams laughed it off when I talked to him, saying it was a good joke. But he also said he's pushing ahead and will be starting construction next year once city approvals are obtained. Robertson's election staff say he's not going to respond.
The bogus press release is below. I've alsoput into Storify an encapsulation of the Twitter feed.
The real tragedy is that no entrepreneur and/or the city allowed a class A heritage building and original vaudevillian theatre to rot beyond repair because of lack of vision and will. Shame.

Q: How to set custom font to android toolbar's subtitle? i want to get the subtitle´s textview in an android's toolbar to change it's font. Actually i'm doing it with the title, getting it on this way:
Field f = toolbar.getClass().getDeclaredField("mTitleTextView");
f.setAccessible(true);
titleTextView = (TextView) f.get(toolbar);

I've tried with the same code but trying to get "mSubtitleTextView" but that's not the solution.
Thanks!!

A: You can get the subtitle TextView like this:
View subTitleView = toolbar.getChildAt(1);

If you don't add any views to the toolbar, his default structure is:
[0] - (TextView) title
[1] - (TextView) subtitle
[2] - (ActionMenuView) menu

Hope it helps!

A: Definitely not the best way, but in a pinch this will work. You will have to figure out a way to implement myTypefaceSpan though; I'm using Calligraphy so it ties together decently for me.
CalligraphyTypefaceSpan myTypefaceSpan = new CalligraphyTypefaceSpan(
    TypefaceUtils.load(this.getAssets(), "fonts/custom_font.ttf"));

public static void setToolbarSubtitle(String subtitle, Context context) {
    SpannableStringBuilder sBuilder = new SpannableStringBuilder();
    sBuilder.append(subtitle);
    sBuilder.setSpan(MainActivity.myTypefaceSpan, 0, sBuilder.length(),
            Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

    ((MainActivity)context).getSupportActionBar().setSubtitle(sBuilder);
}

Q: Docker Compose wait for container X before starting Y I am using rabbitmq and a simple python sample from here
together with docker-compose. My problem is that I need to wait for rabbitmq to be fully started. From what I searched so far, I don't know how to wait with container x (in my case worker) until y (rabbitmq) is started.
I found this blog post where he checks if the other host is online.
I also found this docker command:

wait
Usage: docker wait CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
Block until a container stops, then print its exit code.

Waiting for a container to stop is maybe not what I am looking for but if
it is, is it possible to use that command inside the docker-compose.yml?
My solution so far is to wait some seconds and check the port, but is this the way to achieve this? If I don't wait, I get an error.
docker-compose.yml
worker:
    build: myapp/.
    volumes:
    - myapp/.:/usr/src/app:ro

    links:
    - rabbitmq
rabbitmq:
    image: rabbitmq:3-management

python hello sample (rabbit.py):
import pika
import time

import socket

pingcounter = 0
isreachable = False
while isreachable is False and pingcounter < 5:
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    try:
        s.connect(('rabbitmq', 5672))
        isreachable = True
    except socket.error as e:
        time.sleep(2)
        pingcounter += 1
    s.close()

if isreachable:
    connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(
            host="rabbitmq"))
    channel = connection.channel()

    channel.queue_declare(queue='hello')

    channel.basic_publish(exchange='',
                          routing_key='hello',
                          body='Hello World!')
    print (" [x] Sent 'Hello World!'")
    connection.close()

Dockerfile for worker:
FROM python:2-onbuild
RUN ["pip", "install", "pika"]

CMD ["python","rabbit.py"]

Update Nov 2015:
A shell script or waiting inside your program is maybe a possible solution. But after seeing this Issue I am looking for a command or feature of docker/docker-compose itself.
They mention a  solution for implementing a health check, which may be the best option. A open tcp connection does not mean your service is ready or may remain ready. In addition to that I need to change my entrypoint in my dockerfile.
So I am hoping for an answer with docker-compose on board commands, which will hopefully the case if they finish this issue.
Update March 2016
There is a proposal for providing a built-in way to determine if a container is "alive". So docker-compose can maybe make use of it in near future.
Update June 2016
It seems that the healthcheck will be integrated into docker in Version 1.12.0
Update January 2017
I found a docker-compose solution see:
Docker Compose wait for container X before starting Y

A: Natively that is not possible, yet. See also this feature request.
So far you need to do that in your containers CMD to wait until all required services are there.
In the Dockerfiles CMD you could refer to your own start script that wraps starting up your container service. Before you start it, you wait for a depending one like:
Dockerfile
FROM python:2-onbuild
RUN ["pip", "install", "pika"]
ADD start.sh /start.sh
CMD ["/start.sh"]

start.sh
#!/bin/bash
while ! nc -z rabbitmq 5672; do sleep 3; done
python rabbit.py

Probably you need to install netcat in your Dockerfile as well. I do not know what is pre-installed on the python image.
There are a few tools out there that provide easy to use waiting logic, for simple tcp port checks:

*

*wait-for-it

*dockerize
For more complex waits:

*

*goss - Explanation blog

A: You can also solve this by setting an endpoint which waits for the service to be up by using netcat (using the docker-wait script). I like this approach as you still have a clean command section in your docker-compose.yml and you don't need to add docker specific code to your application:
version: '2'
services:
  db:
    image: postgres
  django:
    build: .
    command: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
    entrypoint: ./docker-entrypoint.sh db 5432
    volumes:
      - .:/code
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    depends_on:
      - db

Then your docker-entrypoint.sh:
#!/bin/sh

postgres_host=$1
postgres_port=$2
shift 2
cmd="$@"

# wait for the postgres docker to be running
while ! nc $postgres_host $postgres_port; do
  >&2 echo "Postgres is unavailable - sleeping"
  sleep 1
done

>&2 echo "Postgres is up - executing command"

# run the command
exec $cmd

This is nowadays documented in the official docker documentation.
PS: You should install netcat in your docker instance if this is not available. To do so add this to your Docker file :
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install netcat-openbsd -y

A: Using restart: unless-stopped or restart: always may solve this problem.
If worker container stops when rabbitMQ is not ready, it will be restarted until it is.

A: Finally found a solution with a docker-compose method. Since docker-compose file format 2.1 you can define healthchecks.
I did it in a example project
you need to install at least docker 1.12.0+.
I also needed to extend the rabbitmq-management Dockerfile, because curl isn't installed on the official image.
Now I test if the management page of the rabbitmq-container is available. If curl finishes with exitcode 0 the container app (python pika) will be started and publish a message to hello queue. Its now working (output).
docker-compose (version 2.1):
version: '2.1'

services:
  app:
    build: app/.
    depends_on:
      rabbit:
        condition: service_healthy
    links:
        - rabbit

  rabbit:
    build: rabbitmq/.
    ports:
        - "15672:15672"
        - "5672:5672"
    healthcheck:
        test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:15672"]
        interval: 30s
        timeout: 10s
        retries: 5

output:
rabbit_1  | =INFO REPORT==== 25-Jan-2017::14:44:21 ===
rabbit_1  | closing AMQP connection <0.718.0> (172.18.0.3:36590 -> 172.18.0.2:5672)
app_1     |  [x] Sent 'Hello World!'
healthcheckcompose_app_1 exited with code 0

Dockerfile (rabbitmq + curl):
FROM rabbitmq:3-management
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y curl
EXPOSE 4369 5671 5672 25672 15671 15672

Version 3 no longer supports the condition form of depends_on.
So i moved from depends_on to restart on-failure. Now my app container will restart 2-3 times until it is working, but it is still a docker-compose feature without overwriting the entrypoint.
docker-compose (version 3):
version: "3"

services:

  rabbitmq: # login guest:guest
    image: rabbitmq:management
    ports:
    - "4369:4369"
    - "5671:5671"
    - "5672:5672"
    - "25672:25672"
    - "15671:15671"
    - "15672:15672"
    healthcheck:
        test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:15672"]
        interval: 30s
        timeout: 10s
        retries: 5

  app:
    build: ./app/
    environment:
      - HOSTNAMERABBIT=rabbitmq
    restart: on-failure
    depends_on:
      - rabbitmq
    links:
        - rabbitmq

A: There is a ready to use utility called "docker-wait" that can be used for waiting.

A: basing on this blog post https://8thlight.com/blog/dariusz-pasciak/2016/10/17/docker-compose-wait-for-dependencies.html
I configured my docker-compose.yml as shown below:
version: "3.1"

services:
  rabbitmq:
    image: rabbitmq:3.7.2-management-alpine
    restart: always
    environment:
      RABBITMQ_HIPE_COMPILE: 1
      RABBITMQ_MANAGEMENT: 1
      RABBITMQ_VM_MEMORY_HIGH_WATERMARK: 0.2
      RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER: "rabbitmq"
      RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS: "rabbitmq"
    ports:
      - "15672:15672"
      - "5672:5672"
    volumes:
      - data:/var/lib/rabbitmq:rw

  start_dependencies:
    image: alpine:latest
    links:
      - rabbitmq
    command: >
      /bin/sh -c "
        echo Waiting for rabbitmq service start...;
        while ! nc -z rabbitmq 5672;
        do
          sleep 1;
        done;
        echo Connected!;
      "

volumes:
  data: {}

Then I do for run =>:
docker-compose up start_dependencies
rabbitmq service will start in daemon mode, start_dependencies will finish the work.

A: In version 3 of a Docker Compose file, you can use RESTART.
For example:
docker-compose.yml
worker:
    build: myapp/.
    volumes:
    - myapp/.:/usr/src/app:ro
    restart: on-failure
    depends_on:
    - rabbitmq
rabbitmq:
    image: rabbitmq:3-management

Note that I used depends_on instead of links since the latter is deprecated in version 3.
Even though it works, it might not be the ideal solution since you restart the docker container at every failure.
Have a look to RESTART_POLICY as well. it let you fine tune the restart policy.
When you use Compose in production, it is actually best practice to use the restart policy :

Specifying a restart policy like restart: always to avoid downtime

A: Not recommended for serious deployments, but here is essentially a "wait x seconds" command.
With docker-compose version 3.4 a start_period instruction has been added to healthcheck. This means we can do the following:
docker-compose.yml:
version: "3.4"
services:
  # your server docker container
  zmq_server:
    build:
      context: ./server_router_router
      dockerfile: Dockerfile

  # container that has to wait
  zmq_client:
    build:
      context: ./client_dealer/
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    depends_on:
      - zmq_server
    healthcheck:
      test: "sh status.sh"
      start_period: 5s

status.sh:
#!/bin/sh

exit 0

What happens here is that the healthcheck is invoked after 5 seconds. This calls the status.sh script, which always returns "No problem".
We just made zmq_client container wait 5 seconds before starting!
Note: It's important that you have version: "3.4". If the .4 is not there, docker-compose complains.

A: you can also just add it to the command option eg.
command: bash -c "sleep 5; start.sh"

https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/374#issuecomment-156546513
to wait on a port you can also use something like this
command: bash -c "while ! curl -s rabbitmq:5672 > /dev/null; do echo waiting for xxx; sleep 3; done; start.sh"

to increment the waiting time you can hack a bit more:
command: bash -c "for i in {1..100} ; do if ! curl -s rabbitmq:5672 > /dev/null ; then echo waiting on rabbitmq for $i seconds; sleep $i; fi; done; start.sh"

A: If you want to start service only then another service successfully completed (for example migration, data population, etc), docker-compose version 1.29, comes with build in functionality for this - service_completed_successfully.
depends_on:
  <service-name>:
    condition: service_completed_successfully

According to specification:

service_completed_successfully -  specifies that a dependency is expected to run to successful completion before starting a dependent service

A: restart: on-failure
did the trick for me..see below
---
version: '2.1'
services:
  consumer:
    image: golang:alpine
    volumes:
      - ./:/go/src/srv-consumer
    working_dir: /go/src/srv-consumer
    environment:
      AMQP_DSN: "amqp://guest:guest@rabbitmq:5672"
    command: go run cmd/main.go
    links:
          - rabbitmq
    restart: on-failure

  rabbitmq:
    image: rabbitmq:3.7-management-alpine
    ports:
      - "15672:15672"
      - "5672:5672"

A: For container start ordering use
depends_on:

For waiting previous container start use script
entrypoint: ./wait-for-it.sh db:5432

This article will help you
https://docs.docker.com/compose/startup-order/

A: Tried many different ways, but liked the simplicity of this: https://github.com/ufoscout/docker-compose-wait
The idea that you can use ENV vars in the docker compose file to submit a list of services hosts (with ports) which should be "awaited" like this: WAIT_HOSTS: postgres:5432, mysql:3306, mongo:27017.
So let's say you have the following docker-compose.yml file (copy/past from repo README):
version: "3"

services:

  mongo:
    image: mongo:3.4
    hostname: mongo
    ports:
      - "27017:27017"

  postgres:
    image: "postgres:9.4"
    hostname: postgres
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"

  mysql:
    image: "mysql:5.7"
    hostname: mysql
    ports:
      - "3306:3306"

  mySuperApp:
    image: "mySuperApp:latest"
    hostname: mySuperApp
    environment:
      WAIT_HOSTS: postgres:5432, mysql:3306, mongo:27017

Next, in order for services to wait, you need to add the following two lines to your Dockerfiles (into Dockerfile of the services which should await other services to start):
ADD https://github.com/ufoscout/docker-compose-wait/releases/download/2.5.0/wait /wait
RUN chmod +x /wait

The complete example of such sample Dockerfile (again from the project repo README):
FROM alpine

## Add your application to the docker image
ADD MySuperApp.sh /MySuperApp.sh

## Add the wait script to the image
ADD https://github.com/ufoscout/docker-compose-wait/releases/download/2.5.0/wait /wait
RUN chmod +x /wait

## Launch the wait tool and then your application
CMD /wait && /MySuperApp.sh

For other details about possible usage see README

A: Quite recently they've added the depends_on feature.
Edit:
As of compose version 2.1+ till version 3 you can use depends_on in conjunction with healthcheck to achieve this:
From the docs:
version: '2.1'
services:
  web:
    build: .
    depends_on:
      db:
        condition: service_healthy
      redis:
        condition: service_started
  redis:
    image: redis
  db:
    image: redis
    healthcheck:
      test: "exit 0"

Before version 2.1
You can still use depends_on, but it only effects the order in which services are started - not if they are ready before the dependant service is started.
It seems to require at least version 1.6.0.
Usage would look something like this:
version: '2'
services:
  web:
    build: .
    depends_on:
      - db
      - redis
  redis:
    image: redis
  db:
    image: postgres

From the docs:

Express dependency between services, which has two effects:

*

*docker-compose up will start services in dependency order. In the following example, db and redis will be started before web.

*docker-compose up SERVICE will automatically include SERVICE's dependencies. In the following example, docker-compose up web will also create and start db and redis.

Note: As I understand it, although this does set the order in which containers are loaded. It does not guarantee that the service inside the container has actually loaded.
For example, you postgres container might be up. But the postgres service itself might still be initializing within the container.

A: One of the alternative solution is to use a container orchestration solution like Kubernetes. Kubernetes has support for init containers which run to completion before other containers can start. You can find an example here with SQL Server 2017 Linux container where API container uses init container to initialise a database
https://www.handsonarchitect.com/2018/08/understand-kubernetes-object-init.html

A: I currently also have that requirement of waiting for some services to be up and running before others start. Also read the suggestions here and on some other places. But most of them require that the docker-compose.yml some how has to be changed a bit.
So I started working on a solution which I consider to be an orchestration layer around docker-compose itself and I finally came up with a shell script which I called docker-compose-profile.
It can wait for tcp connection to a certain container even if the service does not expose any port to the host directy. The trick I am using is to start another docker container inside the stack and from there I can (usually) connect to every service (as long no other network configuration is applied).
There is also waiting method to watch out for a certain log message.
Services can be grouped together to be started in a single step before another step will be triggered to start.
You can also exclude some services without listing all other services to start (like a collection of available services minus some excluded services).
This kind of configuration can be bundled to a profile.
There is a yaml configuration file called dcp.yml which (for now) has to be placed aside your docker-compose.yml file.
For your question this would look like:
command:
  aliases:
    upd:
      command: "up -d"
      description: |
        Create and start container. Detach afterword.

profiles:
  default:
    description: |
      Wait for rabbitmq before starting worker.
    command: upd
    steps:
      - label: only-rabbitmq
        only: [ rabbitmq ]
        wait:
          - 5@tcp://rabbitmq:5432
      - label: all-others

You could now start your stack by invoking
dcp -p default upd

or even simply by
dcp

as there is only a default profile to run up -d on.
There is a tiny problem. My current version does not (yet) support special waiting condition like the ony
You actually need. So there is no test to send a message to rabbit.
I have been already thinking about a further waiting method to run a certain command on host or as a docker container.
Than we could extend that tool by something like
...
        wait:
          - service: rabbitmq
            method: container
            timeout: 5
            image: python-test-rabbit
...

having a docker image called python-test-rabbit that does your check.
The benefit then would be that there is no need anymore to bring the waiting part to your worker.
It would be isolated and stay inside the orchestration layer.
May be someone finds this helpful to use. Any suggestions are very welcome.
You can find this tool at https://gitlab.com/michapoe/docker-compose-profile

A: After trying several approaches, IMO the simplest and most elegant option is using the jwilder/dockerize utility image (mentioned by @Henrik Sachse but he did not show a concret example) with its -wait flag. Here is a simple example where I need a RabbitMQ to be ready before starting my app:
version: "3.8"
services:
  # Start RabbitMQ.
  rabbit:
    image: rabbitmq

  # Wait for RabbitMQ to be joinable.
  check-rabbit-started:
    image: jwilder/dockerize:0.6.1
    depends_on:
      - rabbit
    command: 'dockerize -wait=tcp://rabbit:5672'

  # Only start myapp once RabbitMQ is joinable.
  myapp:
    image: myapp:latest
    depends_on:
      - check-rabbit-started

A: Here is the example where main container waits for worker when it start responding for pings:
version: '3'
services:
  main:
    image: bash
    depends_on:
     - worker
    command: bash -c "sleep 2 && until ping -qc1 worker; do sleep 1; done &>/dev/null"
    networks:
      intra:
        ipv4_address: 172.10.0.254
  worker:
    image: bash
    hostname: test01
    command: bash -c "ip route && sleep 10"
    networks:
      intra:
        ipv4_address: 172.10.0.11
networks:
  intra:
    driver: bridge
    ipam:
      config:
      - subnet: 172.10.0.0/24

However, the proper way is to use healthcheck (>=2.1).

A: I guess the docker people really want us to wait on services using code in our own images. I still want to configure the services to wait for in docker-compose.yml. Here's one way if you're willing to use an entrypoint script.
Add this loop to your entrypoint script, using your choice of wait-for-it tool included in the image. I am using https://github.com/vishnubob/wait-for-it/.  If you pass no services, the loop does nothing.
for service in "$@"; do
    echo "$0: wait for service $service"
    if ! wait-for-it "$service"; then
        echo "$0: failed on service $service"
        exit 1
    fi
done

Pass required services with this entry for the container in docker-compose.yml:
    command: ["my-data-svc:5000"]

This relies on the behavior that docker commands are passed as arguments to the entrypoint script.  You can probably make a convincing argument that I'm abusing the intent of the docker command here.  I'm not gonna die on that hill, it just works for me.

A: I just have 2 compose files and start one first and second one later. My script looks like that:
#!/bin/bash
#before i build my docker files
#when done i start my build docker-compose
docker-compose -f docker-compose.build.yaml up
#now i start other docker-compose which needs the image of the first
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up


After finding myself going further and further afield due to my Tiger's extended range and comfort I was finding myself traveling later and later in the day. Night time on the urban slab wasn't too much of a thing but I could see being caught on the trail at night and needing as much light as possible. A Tiger is a fairly quiet motorcycle as such things go and I've spooked far more game with it and a Leo Vince than I ever did in the same amount of time on my XR with a Supertrapp.
I'd looked at the Triumph lights for it and although recently revised to the led standard that seems so common nowadays I wasn't a fan of the specs due to needing to be DOT and my focus was far more off road.
As I had already had a great experience with Baja Designs on the Fuego race light I bought to convert my XR I reached out to Bailey at BD to help me spec a set for my Tiger. He recommended the XL Squdron Pro set up with one driving and one flood as opposed to the "combo" lights as the focus would be much improved and easier to obtain with separate spot and flood lights. After a brief telephone call to establish payment and shipping particulars my order was shipped out and I had my kit complete with switch,relay and wiring harness.
On the Triumph to install lights other than the factory fog lights or heated grips you WILL need to pull the fuel tank. Maybe someone somewhere has sussed out how to get the connectors located under the shrouds to work with a non-factory setup but after determining that I wasn't really ready to cut up either my BD wiring harness OR buy a Triumph led light harness ala carte to see if it worked I just opted to pull the tank. After watching a few videos courtesy of muddysump and a slightly earlier Tiger I felt sufficiently forewarned enough to complete the task and pulled it without incident. After carefully wrapping and routing my wires I replaced the tank, shrouds and sundry items and placed the fuse into the receptacle on the harness expectantly. Upon hitting the switch......nothing.
Not even knowing enough to diagnose a faulty relay I contact Bailey@BD and he instructed me through the process. After a couple of checks I find it's a relay thats gone bad and we get a replacement in pronto.
This time the entire wall of my garage turns blinding white when I hit the switch. I get them roughly pointed where I like and tighten down the 4mm hex bolts that fix the aiming points. Grab up the polycarbonate covers I bought for them install and forget them largely except as extra clearance lights in the day on the trail.
Until last Sunday. I had been watching the Nestucca River road with some interest due to the rapid warming we had had last week. I'd been out the week before but had to turn back due to ice up by the reservoir due to the cold. Figuring Mt.Hebo as the highest elevation I approached it from the West. All was well until mile marker 8 a mile past the summit when all of a sudden we had two foot high melting snow with twin ruts leading through it. After deciding that a Tiger 800 on K60s does not a snow plow make I settled into the fine task of getting said motorcycle turned around. After finding out that the center rut was virtually solid ice by trying to change my line I of course crashed. And again. And again. A pattern was beginning to form and after finally extricating myself and reaching the summit again I realized we weren't going home via FS 1400 and that I should probably continue back the way I came from Wilson River Highway. Upon setting the wheels north as I was passing Beaver I had a brain fart and not liking to duke it out with cars in the rain on Highway six OR twenty six I hopped on Nestucca River Road to Carlton. Although it was dark, narrow, twisty and snotty in places due to clay mud in ruts I never felt ill at ease at all due to the huge amounts of light the BD lights were able to throw down range. I was almost able to keep up with my daytime average speeds through the same area just due to the confidence these lights give you when it's just you alone at night. The spot was throwing light down range well past what my stock lights could do even on high beam and the flood was illuminating a number of feet into the dense brush and trees to the side giving me a bit of security that I wasn't going to collide with an elk on the stretch that is unpaved there in the middle or anywhere else for that matter. I was very disappointed when I got to civilization outside of Carlton and had to button them up. I felt blind almost all the way to Newberg due to not being able to use them on the road but I'm sure officer friendly would not be real happy with these on the road no matter where they were aimed. I've accidentally blinded people in the day with them unknowingly due to using them for visibility and the squinting look as they round a corner and catch them is unmistakable. One of the reasons I run covers in addition to protection during the day.
All in all an excellent purchase for my intended use and I can heartily endorse them for guys that might be needing a set of Auxiliary Lights that don't draw too much power but throw out race light power. Also I probably should mention that the color temperature while not warm like halogen is far from the harsh blue light you see on a lot of cheap knockoff lights, it's almost as stark "white" of a color as it's possible to imagine giving great contrast to objects seen trail side at night. Additionally they have the best warranty I am aware of and after owning them for several months I can see why. They have outlasted several turn signal lenses and even one whole assembly. They've been beat on repeatedly and not so much as a powder coat chip on them. They really ARE tough enough for Baja so I feel fairly good that they will last as long as I have the bike. Good product, good service and all in all a pretty decent bunch of folks to work with. They'll continue to get my lighting business in the future.

FILE - This picture, released May 22, 2015, by an Islamic State website, shows the group's flag flying atop Palmyra castle, in the Syrian town of Palmyra.
Islamic State militants have placed mines throughout the UNESCO World Heritage site of Palmyra in Syria, an antiquities official and conflict monitor said Sunday, one month after the group entered the city.
The explosives were laid on Saturday, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which gathers information from sources inside the country.
"It is not known if the purpose is to blow up the ruins or to prevent regime forces from advancing into the town," Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman told the French News Agency.
A museum at the site was emptied before the militants arrived in late May. The move was prompted by previous Islamic State attacks on artwork and artifacts during its campaign to establish a so-called "caliphate" across Syria and Iraq.
However, ruins from the ancient city, also known as Tadmur, could not be relocated.
In December, the U.N. said that during Syria's conflicts - which now includes violence from a civil war and the Islamic State group - more than 300 cultural heritage sites have been destroyed, damaged or looted.


This week, several people have asked me whether I'm 'nervous' about the first test of MoodleNet, a new open social media platform for educators, focussed on professional development and open content. We've invited 100 people (50 English testers, 50 Spanish) to have a look and give us some feedback over a three-week period starting from next Tuesday.
I think we could sum that up with 'managing expectations'. It's kind of the opposite of Silicon Valley hype, and useful when you're developing a product for the long-term.
The answer, of course, turned out to be in the affirmative. But it took a while. I joined Twitter in February 2007, a few months after it launched. I loved it and, as I was teaching at the time, ran Twitter workshops for my colleagues. Most of them appreciated my enthusiasm, but didn't think it would catch on.
So let's just stand back and look at this for a moment. The functionality that we would say was pretty core to Twitter took a good while to roll out. Another interesting fact, not really highlighted in the Buffer post, is that many of these involved Twitter responding to what users were doing or had invented.
For example, people were using 'RT' to manually retweet posts way before November 2009. Meanwhile, hashtags were an invention of Chris Messina, and initially rejected by Twitter as too nerdy. Users who like what you're trying to achieve will help you reach that goal.
Before Twitter became a publicly-traded company in 2013 it was much more focused on the ecosystem it was creating. One of the best things about early Twitter was that there was a huge range of clients you could use to access the service. In fact, the 'pull-to-refresh' functionality that's in almost every mobile app these days was invented by a third-party Twitter client.
Returning to MoodleNet, the reason it's taken a year to get to this point is because of all of the preparation we've done, and all of the other kinds of testing we've done up to this point. So this is just the next step in a long journey.
Our value proposition is: "Do educators want to join communities to curate collections of resources?" The answer might be negative. In that case, we'll go back to the drawing board. My hunch, though, borne out through tens of hours of conversation and experimentation, is that there's something in this, and it's worth pursuing.
All in all, I'm excited about this next step and looking forward to getting user feedback on the fantastic work my team have done.

Q: Are enemy spawns in Dungeon Defenders deterministic? As I'm getting into some of the higher levels (albeit on lower difficulties), I notice that sometimes a path that is open is never followed, due to the way enemies spawned in that wave.  This led me to question: are the spawns and approach routes deterministic?  Knowing this would allow me to never block certain routes, because I'd know enemies would never approach that way.  I'd also be able to develop a circuit of tower repairs if I knew enemies always attacked from one direction first, then the opposite - and so on.

A: As far as I've seen for the general case, yes, pathing seems to be generally pre-determined. The only exception that I've seen is when enemies divert to attack players.
In my experience, I've yet to see main paths not be used except when I killed every enemy intent on that path before it could take that path. The thing to note is that the pathing is calculated only to the targets available and generally tries to find the nearest targets to the point of entry. Some enemies will go a little farther if there are multiple targets in range, but I've never seen one cross the entire map to get to a target when another target was nearer. This means that paths between an entry and a target that is quite far does not need the defenses as the enemies won't go that way when there are nearer targets. The problem is that the targets themselves are not always deterministic as in the case of the Christmas level where the targets are selected at random from the pool of targets.
From what I've seen, shields and blockers are not to divert the enemy, but to draw the enemy agro towards them rather than the towers. They act more to delay the enemy, possibly exposing them to more damage, than they do as roadblocks.
I find effective strategies to employ are:

*

*Look for choke points and bottlenecks where you can use fewer towers to greater effect.

*Put towers near entry points to kill enemies early, but out of the enemy path if you can so as to avoid the need to repair. Faster kills = higher score. For DPS builds, you may need to use your towers to draw agro while you navigate the map so this doesn't always work and in these cases and shields and blockers become quite useful for buying time.

Irma's legacy: Florida's infrastructure not up to standard and people need to stop obsessing over the center of the track
September 12, 2017 ·	by Kartik Krishnaiyer ·	in Hurricane season	· 1 Comment
For most of Florida, Hurricane Irma was a Category 1 storm or a strong Tropical Storm. But yet it has created the type of havoc around the state that no minor Hurricane should. For the Keys and southwest Florida, the storm was a monster and justifiably did a number on the area. But for areas like southeast Florida, central Florida and northwest Florida the infrastructure was tested and failed despite far from the worst case scenario taking place. Power began to go out for residents in Orlando and Jacksonville as the outer bands hit the area, long before the brunt of the storm created flooding concerns and wind damage. For those in southeast Florida, some lost power (including my residence) about seven hours before the worst of Irma arrived, though in fairness the portion of Broward County where I live had a sustained pounding for about 24 hours of mostly Tropical Storm force winds (with occasional Hurricane gusts). For our area Hurricane force winds did not arrive until LONG after the power was already out. As of now our power has not been restored but some areas in our neighborhood got power back this morning.
The larger power companies that service the state, Florida Power & Light, Duke Energy, TECO, etc all have failed to invest in the type of infrastructure that can withstand tropical storm winds or even in some cases intense thunder storms. Perhaps this is a legacy of a Public Service Commission (PSC) and Attorney General that doesn't really regulate the power companies but serve as enablers for them instead.
Many are blaming the forecasters and National Hurricane Center (NHC) for not having the forecast track right. However, their was NEVER any doubt whatsoever that Irma was going to cause significant severe weather throughout the state and everyone associated with NHC and other accomplished meteorologists made that clear all along . But unfortunately many in our state aren't adequately informed about tropical weather and projections something I find hard to believe living in Florida (though I must admit I am excessively;y geeky about Hurricanes and the history of storms in this state is one of my obsessions). Throughout the week leading into Irma, I fielded countless questions on Twitter and via text message about the projected track and about "leaving town". Again as I mentioned yesterday Florida is a peninsula and a storm coming from south to north as the 1945 Homestead storm did, Charley did, Betsy did and to a lesser extent David and Matthew did tend to affect more than just a localized part of the state. Fleeing one part of the state to another during a storm taking a projected track like this makes little sense unless you are in a low-lying evacuation zone.
Also remember, the NHC projected track is just for the center of the storm and the 3 day cone represents the margin of error in that period for JUST THE CENTER OF THE STORM. No doubt modeling needs to improve and perhaps the NHC can show a cone near landfall that includes the potential wind field. But the NHC did well as usual with Irma. Sure the center of the storm tracked about 30-35 miles east of where forecast but again the cone represents a possible margin of error (the storm traveled the eastern edge of the cone) and potential storm impacts are NOT represented by the cone. While the NHC can certainly improve its communications and be more robust with its delivery of information, Floridians also need to take the time to understand what exactly the cone and map graphics mean.
The NHC issued Hurricane Warnings for the first time in history for the entirety of the peninsula of Florida. That should have been enough to make people realize how serious weather impacts could be in their area.
We have a lot of cleanup, recovery, thinking and analysis in the wake of Irma to do. We'll continue to have these conversations this week here at TFS and hopefully everyone is in recovery mode and will have their lives back to normal by the end of the month.

I arrived in Miami by car from the west coast on Saturday morning around 9:30am. There must have been a wicked, fierce squall line that had gone through the area that morning or late evening. There were small branches and leaf debris everywhere in my neighborhood on wet streets. I had never seen anything like that as a precursor to rain bands in a tropical storm or hurricane in my 38 years living in Florida. This weather event happened hours before Irma's rain bands as shown on radar arrived. I was up at 5am that morning watching Irma's approach on radar. I monitored the rain band progression that morning both before and during my trip. I had timed my trip to arrive in Miami BEFORE Irma's tropical force winds. I believe it was the early Saturday morning severe weather, whatever it was, that caused some power outages before Irma's winds arrived.
A large amount of Irma's damage to power lines, fences, street lights, signs and landscapes was caused by the long duration tropical force winds – 8 or more hours. Present hurricane codes focus on top wind speeds, not duration.
The Saffir-Simpson scale served a great purpose, but it is past time for it to be replaced with a better indicator of potential storm damage that would not only include wind speeds, but also storm surge, rain, duration and areal coverage of winds. I noticed that north of the Keys, structural damage was limited mostly to fences, light and power poles, street signs and street lights. Houses were not destroyed and the majority of roofs survived with no damage unless a tree fell on a house. That is directly related to the duration of the lower magnitude winds. I think FPL and county governments should be asked to rethink their storm hardening planning ( or lack thereof ) that takes into account lower wind speeds for longer durations. Designing only to the highest magnitude wind is clearly not sufficient.

Q: Git push an older commit I have recently made 2 commits to my Github remote branch. Commit 1 is the first one, and commit 2 is the second one. Commit 1 contains some features I worked on. It is ahead of master by 1, but behind by 10. Commit 2 is a mistake a made, which I accidentally pulled from the master without merging commit 1. In commit 2, I have some weird conflicts.
I revered my local repo back to commit 1, but now, I would like to make a new push to my remote branch, so that I can set my remote branch to commit 1, and merge with the master. Now if I push, I get the error message of tip of your current branch is behind its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes. I do not want to run git pull again to get the erroneous commit 2. I commit 1 to show up on my remote branch. Should I run git push -f in this case?

A: you can push your changes forcefully it will delete your commit2, but sometimes git push -f is not recommended.
Another approach would be to revert your commit2 by running git revert , this will create a commit(a reverted version of commit 2) and then push that new commit.

Q: How do I make a Pop-Up Menu from my Contacts Group names, using AppleScript and Numbers? Please note: The site is not letting me post this question unless I incorrectly format it i.e. the two middle sections of "code" which aren't actually code. I've done my best to edit it, to fix it, and I apologise if the formatting is poor.
I've found and adjusted two scripts, which run, individually. This is my first AppleScript project, and I'd like help joining them together to MAKE ONE SCRIPT.
I want Script 2 to use the result from Script 1.
e.g. set menuItems to (Script 1 Result names)
I made a dummy testGroup in my Contacts. The Pop-Up Menu only needs the names.  I will use the corresponding email addresses later, in another script.
I hope this is clear enough. Thanks in advance for your help.
Script 1
--returns Contacts testGroup's names and email addresses

set myList to ""
tell application "Contacts" to repeat with p in people in group "testGroup"
    if emails of p is {} then
        set e to ""
    else
        set e to value of email 1 of p
    end if
    set myList to myList & name of p
end repeat

Script 1 Result needs parsing...
"Joe BloggsMolly MousePeter Pan"

to this...
{"Joe Bloggs", "Molly Mouse", "Peter Pan"}

so I can use it in Script 2 menuItems below.
Script 2 MUST use names from Script 1 Result, like this
-- Make Pop-Up Menu in Numbers spreadsheet which is already open.

set menuItems to {"Joe Bloggs", "Molly Mouse", "Peter Pan"}

tell application "Numbers"
    activate
    tell the first table of the active sheet of document 1
        tell cell "A3"
            set value to item 1 of menuItems
            set the format to pop up menu
        end tell
    end tell
end tell

tell application "System Events"
    tell application process "Numbers"
        set frontmost to true
        tell window 1
            click radio button "Cell" of radio group 1
            repeat with i from 2 to (count menuItems)
                click button 1 of group 1 of scroll area -1
                keystroke (item i of menuItems)
            end repeat
        end tell
    end tell
end tell

As a predominantly 1/72nd scale modeller I hope that Lifelike Decals of Japan will release their three sets of Ki-44 Shoki markings in that scale too - as they have done with other sets. Good quality aftermarket decal options for the Ki-44 in the popular quarter scale have been surprisingly thin on the ground following the series of modern Hasegawa kits of this type. Decal sheets from other manufacturers have proposed some rather curious colour combinations or stuck with old favourites. The Lifelike sets have a good mixture of better known examples updated with insightful information, together with some stunning examples not seen before. One of the qualities of the Lifelike Decals is that the narrative on the sheets is so comprehensive and provides almost a mini-reference by itself, with sources for each presentation clearly stated. There is no attempt to conceal interpretative conclusions but they are invariably soundly based and often consider viable alternatives. Japanese modellers appear much more comfortable with this, whereas many Western modellers agonise and argue endlessly over colour details that will probably never be confirmed, seeking that elusive old impostor "consensus" - a gathering of opinions, too often ill-founded. Another quality of these sheets is their printing by Cartograf - to an excellent high standard.
Part 1, 48-036 provides markings for four aircraft, beginning with Lt Inayama's distinctive black-painted Shoki of the 87th Sentai which featured as the cover art by Ronnie Olsthoorn for the Osprey Ki-44 Aces book. I had the opportunity to discuss this aircraft - and others - with the owner of Lifelike, who very kindly indulged my suggestions about it. The greyish-black (anthracite) paint was thinly sprayed over the whole upper surface and this should be replicated on a model, finished first in overall natural metal, rather than just painting it black. The rudder appears to be dark green but is meant to represent the thin black paint over the original grey-green dope. It is also possible that the rudder was not over-painted on this machine.
The second aircraft is a Ki-44 flown by the great China-based 85th Sentai ace Yukiyoshi Wakamatsu, "the Red-Nosed Ace", and is believed to depict the tail marking accurately for the first time. The photograph of this aircraft reveals the natural metal finish to have been oxidised and dull at the time and it may have had the forward cowling rim painted red too.
Third choice is a well-known and oft-modelled 246th Sentai Shoki on Homeland Defence duty which has been depicted and discussed many times, often with some fanciful colour combinations based on that arcane art of interpreting monochrome photographs. Here we have a more realistic interpretation, no less colourful. The significance of the colour trim on the 246th machines is not fully understood in terms of Chutai and Shotai. This particular aircraft highlights the difficulties of Ki-44 variant identification conventions and the narrative touches on this. Whilst it has the cowling armament of the Hei, the optical gunsight is more usually associated with the Ko and Otsu. The profile on the sheet shows the narrow magazine access panel of the Ko whilst the photograph of the real aircraft reveals the Hei cowling armament. These unusual detail combinations need to be considered carefully if building this particular example from one of the available kits.
Finally, another interesting 246th Sentai example, with two prominent white fuselage bands and carrying the revised unit marking seen on aircraft following the Phillipines campaign. This plain red tail stripe was said to represent "a loyal and sincere state of mind". As with all the aircraft offered, the markings include the various coloured bands and undercarriage trim, but note that stencils and yellow leading-edge IFF strips are included for one machine only.
These sheets retail in Japan for ¥1,500 each (about £11) but their value is considerably enhanced by the detailed information provided in the narrative and they include full upper and lower surface plan views. The recommended kit is the Hasegawa Ki-44 but the decals could probably be adapted to fit the perennially popular and simpler Arii (ex-Otaki) Ki-44 too. Thanks to Lifelike Decals for providing the review sample.

National Red Bull Flugtag: Miami 2013
The UM American Society of Mechanical Engineers team at the 2013 Redbull Flugtag.
On a (thankfully) beautiful Saturday morning, 27 teams from the Southeast literally flew into Miami's Bayfront Park on Sept. 21 for the National Red Bull Flugtag. Flugtag means "flying day" in German and the National Red Bull Flugtag is the world's wildest, human-powered flying craft competition. Spectators witnessed a flying manatee, a flying hamburger and even a flying brain, just to name a few. Along with craft and aviation, each team prepared a theme and skit for their flying vessel: a competition that gives new meaning to the term "art" for the 94,000 prospective engineers, loyal college alumni, families and casual spectators alike.
Out of 200 teams that applied for the Miami Flugtag, 27 were chosen, one of which being UM's very own American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) with "Enalpria: The Backwards Airplane." These UM College of Engineering students are no novices to this competition. This is ASME's fourth year on the Flugtag flight deck; last year winning People's Choice Award and placing second in the 2010 competition. The story line for this year's plane was a group of crash test dummies (the flight crew) launching the mad scientist (the pilot), who's kept them prisoner, off the 30-foot pier. "The club determined the theme together. We used this design in the past, so we thought we'd just perfect it and flip it, making it a backwards airplane," said junior flight crewmember, James Johnston.
Months of hard work go into a fix-winged aircraft that only travels for a few seconds before crashing into the water. Despite the short-lived flight, the team's engineering prowess is judged on creativity, showmanship and distance. "I'm pretty confident this year. We've improved on a lot of flaws and learned a lot of lessons. It was a little hectic this time around because we had six weeks less to prepare than last year. We built the wings in three days and the base in two. It was a lot of work but it came together nicely," said ASME President Matthew Vautrain. "I think we'll land when we want to land, hopefully in Key West," said junior flight crewmember Jon Katzman jokingly. "It'd be nice to keep the pieces to have for memories, but either way the experience is enough in itself."
It was a great experience for all. Dressed in full crash test dummy morph suits, the flight crew posed for pictures with the crowd and let children in on the skit, maintaining their showmanship throughout the entire event. "We've been lying on the ground all day getting hit by kids with inflatable hammers. It's been tough but worth it," admitted senior crash test dummy Sarmad Chaudhry.
As for the rest of the school- conjuring up some rivalry heat with FSU and UF teams present as well- UM made it clear that this is our fly zone. In true Miami style, some UM students coming to support ASME arrived at Bayfront in a party bus sponsored by Red Bull, freshly stocked with Red Bull energy drinks, of course. "I've never been to Flugtag, but I love the X Games, so I wanted to check it out. Especially since the U is being represented," said junior Ben Birns. "I'm coming to support the school's team. And this party bus is a great addition, definitely Miami-themed," said junior Julie Bravo.
Looking into the crowd of more than 90,000, it was hard to avoid seeing some orange and green gear. "A bunch of us came to watch the flights. It was great- a little toasty and crowded- but overall fun. I'm glad to see UM students participate," said first-year graduate student Jonny Denis. "This is a worldwide event and it's pretty cool that UM is up there on the podium," said freshman Guiseppe Capolino. "I decided to go because I've always thought Flugtag looked amazing from the commercials and it's so close to us. I know UM competes every year and I thought they did great. It was fun hearing everyone cheer for our school," said senior Andie Cohen.
With U hand signs flashing all over Bayfront when UM ASME took the podium, the flight crew prepared for take off. After a flawless skit and successful push, Enalpria traveled 60 feet with an average judge's score of 18.25. "I'm very happy with it. Everyone was safe, we reached a respectable distance and it was a significant improvement from last year," said Vautrain. "I think we were very successful this year, considering we can't do a test-run before hand. I think Flugtag is overall a great experience, especially for us engineers because it's a fun way to apply our engineering knowledge," said senior ASME member Lauren Tarpy.
No flight is complete without a word from its pilot. "I'm still shaking," said pilot Oliver Doggart after his descent into the water. "But I'm proud of our distance. The impact wasn't bad; I lost a shoe. The worst part was going over the edge. The best was when I felt the lift kick in, when I was starting to fly."
Thank you for flying Flugtag, UM ASME. Until next year.

Today, I'm going green for Mental Health Awareness. May is Mental Health Awareness month here in the United States. This is something near and dear to my heart because I live with five (5) mental illnesses every day of my life and I have a tendency towards a sixth (which just means that my symptoms aren't bad enough for full diagnosis).
1 in 5 adults (60 million people) in the United States lives with a mental health condition.
1 in 25 adults (10 million people) in the United States live with a serious mental health condition.
60 million adults in the United States face the day-to-day reality of living and dealing with a mental illness.
90% of all suicides are committed by people with a mental health condition, but it doesn't have to be this way. 70-90% of all sufferers experience a significant reduction of symptoms if they are getting the right treatment and have good support.
I am one of those 60 million people. Day-to-day living with a mental illness is not easy, to say the least. Some days, it's debilitating. Other days, it's just simply hard. On those days when it's just simply hard, I'm able to go to work, able to blog, able to get together with friends, able to have a life. The days in which it's debilitating, it's just that – debilitating. I cannot work, cannot blog, cannot hang out with friends. About the most I can do is maybe make it out of bed to the couch. Maybe.
Mental health isn't something that's easy to talk about and yet, it should be. One should be able to say, "My anxiety is really high today" just as easily as one can say, "Man, my allergies are really bad today". They're both illnesses. Neither is more "legitimate" than the other. Unfortunately, there's a stigma attached to mental illnesses. Stigma refers to not only the tangible reasons that most people stay silent such as bullying, rejection, and discrimination, but it also refers to the intangible reasons, feeling isolated, being blamed for your mental illness, and feeling shame for having a mental illness.
If you notice, while I'm open about the fact that I have five (5) mental illnesses, I did not name them. That's because of the stigma associated with them. It's become more acceptable to talk about having depression and anxiety, both of which I have. But there are still some very severe mental illnesses where the stigma attached is so great that people automatically assume that if someone has one of those illnesses, they're a danger to society. Unfortunately, I have one of those. Consequently, I don't usually talk about what specific mental illnesses I have.
However, let me be candid and frank. Any mental illness, no matter how severe, does not automatically mean the person is a danger to society. I'm not saying it's not possible. We all know it's possible. I watch the news as much as the rest of you. But simply having a mental illness should not be the sole component that an individual is judged on. Period. Do you automatically think that someone with diabetes or multiple scleorsis or cancer is a danger to society? No, you probably don't because most people don't. Similarly, those with schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities), antisocial personality disorder, or any other mental illness should not automatically be considered a danger to society. With the proper treatment (which is usually a combination of medication and therapy), people can learn how to cope with their mental illness and can be productive members of society, but many don't seek help because of all the stigma attached to mental illness. We as a society need to work together to change that.
I encourage you to educate yourself, learn about the disorders that people have, and then go out and start conversations with people about mental illness. Help end the stigma that people with mental illness feel. Help end any stigma you may feel against someone with a mental illness. Only by working together can we end all stigma.
If you have a mental illness and you're currently not seeking help for whatever reason, please do yourself the favor and seek help. It is the single best thing you can do to change your life. It's not easy. I know it's not, but it really is the single best thing you can do to learn how to cope with your mental illness.
Really good, Valerie. A very worthwhile article.


Who and for what reason needs philosophy?
According to the author, philosophy becomes necessary when some part of a society starts to experience the need for personal freedom. Philosophy is in the service not of power, but of the society composed of free people everyone among whom possesses a personal opinion and is thus bound to negotiate with others. Under a power which is despotic or tyrannical, philosophy as such was and still remains the language used not by power but by opposition to it, clarifying and explaining to everybody the meaning of human freedom.
Keywords: philosophy, public space, desacralization of power, demythologization of consciousness, freedom, civil society.
The paper explores the complex relations between philosophy as a special kind of knowledge and politics as a special kind of activity. Particular attention is given the problem of super-determination of politics by philosophy, the latter laying claim to the knowledge of ultimate truth and to solving the problem of common good. The author suggests that a possible way to discard this super-determination may be offered by Heidegger's new ontology that gives a new treatment of the problem of relation between theoretical and practical knowledge.
Keywords: political knowledge, super-determination of politics, difference, practical philosophy, publicity.
The process in which an 'idea' transforms into 'ideology' invariably involves such changes as primitivization, politicization, massovization, normativization, monologization; this process, which is largely spontaneous, seems to be inevitable, especially in the age of mass society. Particularly alarming is the situation in certain societies (such as in Russia) where mass society gains total dominance over the civil society and where there appear not just 'ideologies' but the ideologies that are totalitarian and repressive. The main question in this case is: how to avoid the totalirization of ideology? The author singles out the three forms of totalitarian ideocracy which all use the same ideological mechanism, i.e., they all tend to manipulate the notion of 'historical guilt'.
Keywords: civil society, public space, idea, ideology, Vladimir Soloviev, Nikolai Berdyaev, Fyodor Stepun.
Miguel de Beistegui scrutinizes the problem of desire in French philosophy in the second third of twentieth century. Kojève's interpretation of early Hegel proved to be the impetus that urged French thinkers from Sartre to Levinas to explore the problematic of desire. Particular importance must be attributed to Lacan's theory, as it is in the Lacanian version of psychoanalysis that the idea of desire as expressing a 'lack' is considered to be the fundamental metaphysical principle. 'The overcoming of metaphysics' presupposes a new treatment of desire, introduced under the influence of post-structuralist and neo-Nietzschean theories of Deleuze and Foucault.
Keywords: desire, Kojève, the Master-Slave dialectics, Lacan, principle of deficiency (lack), immanence, Deleuze.
What I must not do?
The article examines the possibility of substantiating the moral absolutism within the framework of negative ethics, the central question for which is: what I must not do? The negative act, which is a key concept of negative ethics, is an act not performed exclusively on the strength of moral prohibition; it exemplifies the characteristic properties of morals by virtue of which the latter becomes the subject area of practical philosophy. Negative acts correspond to the criterion of moral absolutism: they are universally meaningful and elementary, and they are performed solely under a person's moral principles.
Keywords: ethics, negative ethics, negative act, moral responsibility, moral sanction, moral absolutism.
How does one come to be a philosopher? Or, to put it more specifically, why did Baruch de Spinoza choose to become a philosopher, in spite of the many attractive opportunities bestowed upon him by destiny? For the answer to this question, the author ransacks Spinoza's own writings and juxtaposes the opening pages of the Treatise on the Emendation of the Intellect with certain passages from Ethics. This survey reveals that there is something in common between two thinkers as different as Spinoza and Kierkegaard are on a first glance.
Keywords: ethics, Spinoza, Kierkegaard, Treatise on the Emendation of the Intellect.
The City and the Internet are regarded by the author as the space for the delivery of public utterance: thus, many activist groups formed on the base of selforganization make use of the urban space and the new media (websites, social networks and blogs) for carrying out their political projects. The purpose of the present article is to delineate the theoretical framework for developing of the concept of public sphere in which the current activist practices are being formed, and to show the new opportunities opening up for political groups owing to a critical approach to the problem of producing the public sphere.
Keywords: public sphere, multiple public spheres, counter-public sphere, activist practices, new media, urban space.
The paper offers an analysis of the question why ideology is again acquiring topicality. The authors examine the three types of subject relations (to the otherness in nature, to the likeness of the 'other', and to the self) and the three corresponding types of questions hereby produced, i.e., scientific, ethical and aesthetic. Questions of each type tend to rely on a specific truth theory, namely on the correspondent, pragmatical and coherent truth respectively. The authors argue that when the Hegelian model of struggling at the highest possible stake gets substituted by contemporary forms of imitative pseudo-conflicts, the aesthetic ideologies inevitably prove to be the dominant form.
The author argues that the conventional symbolic function, which is characteristic of the phonetic type of writing, contrasts with the iconic (in the sense of Charles Pierce) nature of Chinese pictograms and ideograms. The influence of the fundamentally non-symbolic paradigm, distinctive of the Chinese mode of thinking, on the representation of basic logical principles in Chinese logical tradition is further analyzed.
Keywords: Images (xiang 象), visual thinking, schematism, the laws of contradiction and excluded middle, logical tautology, geometrization of logic.
The paper proposes the view of Herzen's philosophy as an organic part of the Russian philosophy taken as a whole, not of any particular division of it. The author demonstrates the autonomous nature of Herzen's philosophy and its independence from revolutionary or any other political activity. The idea of freedom emerges as the central point in Herzen's thought.
Keywords: 200th anniversary of Herzen's birth, integrity of Russian philosophy, Herzen and Russia, Herzen and the West, Herzen and Dostoevsky, Herzen and Leontiev, Herzen and eurasianism.
The 'Hard Problem' of consciousness. Is a solution conceivable?
Formulated by Chalmers in 1995, the so called 'hard problem' inspired a new wave of interest in the philosophy of mind. It seems, however, to conceal a paradox. On the one hand, Chalmers with many other analytic philosophers is ready to suppose that conscience is dependent exclusively on neural activity in the brain. On the other hand, he doubts that the question 'Why do qualia exist?' may be given a comprehensive answer within the domain of science. But may our lack of knowledge be the key? Or is a solution inconceivable in principle? In this paper an attempt has been made to cast some light on this problem.
Keywords: hard problem of consciousness, philosophy of mind, analytic philosophy, subjective experience, qualia, Chalmers, Ramachandran.
Robert Brandom in his book on pragmatism discusses the possibility of a 'synthesis' of Anglo-American analytic and pragmatic traditions in philosophy. He puts forth the task of overcoming the dichotomy between practice and theory, pragmatics and semantics, 'knowing how' and 'knowing that'. According to Brandom, different types of American pragmatism ('linguistic', 'semantic', 'normative', 'instrumental', etc.) solve this problem in different ways.
Keywords: Brandom, pragmatism, analytic philosophy, intentionality, semantics, philosophy of language, meaning, use, representation, instrumentalism.

101 BEST Adventure Quotes Sure To Ignite Your Wanderlust
Are you looking to read some adventure quotes? We draw inspiration from these quotes on travel and adventure before we tackle a tough challenge or new destination.
I used to pass my time reading new adventure quotes on travel before we left to explore the world. It wasn't all that long ago that we'd sit in our cold NYC apartment in February reading quotes about adventures from more intrepid adventurers. It became a ritual in the mornings on my way to the gym.
I'd start with a new adventure quote – one that prepared me to tackle the world.
During that time, we spent our days reading books on our long commute to work, and nights were spent watching films that focused on travel and adventure. And saving every penny, we could get for travel. Adventure is a pretty subjective word to me, but in the basic sense, it's anything exciting and unusual. For our most recent adventure, it was a terrific safari across Africa!
It's why many people in our generation choose to travel over buying more material items. However, when you dive into literature and film, you find that the idea of a life full of moments and adventures is not a new one. It dates back to the ancient Greeks.
We have spent so much time contemplating what it is we'd like in life, and we're still not sure, but we do hope it's always an adventure. I hope that these quotes inspire you to live a fulfilling life too. In no particular order here are a handful of the best adventure quotes about travel!

Why Hire The Law Offices of Marcia Payton?
You undoubtedly want the best legal representation possible when you or a loved one are facing a criminal charge, which leads to the question: What makes one attorney better than another? The general feeling is that law firms with high prestige are where you can find the best attorneys. While a positive reputation in the legal community goes a long way, the true key to picking your ideal lawyer is finding someone that is easy to talk to and can dedicate their personal time and energy to your case.
Westchester County criminal defense attorney Marcia Payton is not only a well-respected attorney by both judges and attorneys, she is also highly praised by her clients for her compassionate representation and aggressive advocacy on their behalf. At our law firm, clients are not passed off to an assistant or paralegal— they work directly with Ms. Payton who personally handles all the details of their case.
Marcia Payton spent several years as a prosecutor for NYC. New York's district attorney's office receives new cases on a daily basis, and during her time there Ms. Payton learned how a prosecution is built and the numerous ways the defense can tear it down.
Having worked with some of the best law enforcement officials and detectives in the state, Marcia understands how evidence is gathered and used against defendants. In many cases, the evidence gathered is not as solid as it may appear, and while the prosecution will try to gloss over these weaknesses, our team ensures that the whole picture is presented to the court.
At The Law Offices of Marcia Payton, we know that being accused of a crime does not mean you are guilty of one. This can be a stressful and overwhelming experience for many people, which is why we make it a priority to remain available for our clients whenever they need us.
If you have been charged with a crime don't wait to get help. Call our office today to schedule your free consultation with an experienced Westchester County criminal defense lawyer.
