Ignoring Boundaries
A normal Saturday evening.
Two normal couples enjoying each other's company.
The women were best friends. They discussed everything from clothing to kids to shopping… and yes, sex! One of them was bi-curious; the other had several bisexual experiences in the past. The husbands of these two women have seen each other on several occasions. They were not friends, but did enjoy each other's company. The husband of the bi-curious woman was much less experimental about sex than the husband of the bisexual woman. His wife, on the contrary, would love him to be more open about it and to be more willing to try things outside of the boundaries of their sex life. Sex was not something that he discussed with anyone other than his wife.
Each of them had a glass of wine. Several subjects were discussed. Sometimes the four of them talked; sometimes the two men were having one conversation, while the women had another. Both the men were amateur photographers, be it of different subjects. The male conversation inevitably came to photography. Mr. Bisexual-Wife got up to get his camera. When he came back, Bi-Curious-Wife got up so Mr. Bisexual-Wife could sit down next to Mr. Bi-Curious-Wife. The two women now sat on the other couch, next to each other. The men were discussing the camera and the different functions on it. Mr. Bisexual-Wife wanted to demonstrate some of the functions on the camera. He aimed the lens in the direction of the two women and made a photo. The light of the flash caught them off guard. Their conversation continued, but now Bisexual-Wife kept an eye on the men. Just as her husband directed the camera lens in their direction again, she grabbed the top of her shirt, pulled it down and flashed her bra-covered tits at him. Mr. Bi-Curious-Wife looked at her with big eyes.
Both women were a bit tipsy, which gave them the courage to step over their own boundaries. Bi-Curious-Wife knew about her husband's inhibitions and she was a bit wary to act on her own sexual wanting. Bisexual-Wife has never done anything like this with 'public' around, but she has certainly been fantasizing about it. Bi-Curious-Wife started to unbutton her blouse. The more buttons she undid, the bigger her husband's eyes got. He said nothing. Apparently tipsiness on his side caused him to ignore his narrow boundaries. Just as Bi-Curious-Wife dropped the blouse off her shoulders, Bisexual Wife pulled her top over her head. The women threw the pieces of clothing aside. Mr. Bi-Curious-Wife was still quiet, just watching the scene in front of him. Mr. Bisexual-Wife had his full attention with the ladies. One photo after the other was made. The scene in front of him was something he had dreamt of quite often.
Bi-Curious-Wife looked at her husband once more. She could see the interest in his eyes and somehow gathered that he would not try to stop her. She turned to her friend. Bisexual-Wife understood the hint. She bent forward and softly kissed her friend on her lips. Another kiss. And another. Bisexual-Wife traced the outside of Bi-Curious-Wife's lips with her tongue. Her friend's lips parted. Softly the two women started to explore each other's lips and mouths. They have never been like this before, but it felt safe. Their kisses became more intense. Be it the wine or be it that they might have been wanting to do this for so long – both women were excited. Sexually excited. Bisexual-Wife slipped her hands around her friend and unclipped her bra. She pulled the bra off her friends arms and dropped it to the floor. They did not stop kissing as Bi-Curious-Wife dropped her friend's bra next to hers.
Bisexual-Wife stopped kissing her friend, looked her in the eyes and then turned her attention to the breasts of her friend. Neither of the women was now paying any attention to the men on the other couch. Neither of the women even noticed the camera still clicking. Neither of the women saw the fascination with which Mr. Bi-Curious-Wife was watching scene in front of him. The women only focused on each other. Bisexual-Wife kissed both her friend's nipples and then softly started to suck her right nipple. Shortly after the left nipple received the same attention. Alternating between the breasts in front of her, Bisexual-Wife made sure that her friend's nipples stayed hard. She knew that her friend liked it a bit harder, so she sucked harder and sometimes even bit her friend's nipples. Bi-Curious-Wife's breathing clearly indicated that she enjoyed the treatment.
Bisexual-Wife did not want to stop now she has started. She slipped off the couch and stood on her knees in front of her friend. Pushing, Bisexual-Wife got her friend to part her legs. She moved in between her legs so she could not close them again. Bisexual-Wife's mouth was back on her friend's nipples. Her hands were on her friend's thighs, moving up and down, just not touching her crotch. She kissed her way down to her friend's belly button and her hands moved to the button of Bi-Curious-Wife's pants. The pants were unbuttoned. The zipper was pulled down. Bisexual-Wife pulled on the pants. Her friend lifted her bum off the couch, clearly willing to be undressed. Not wanting her friend to have second thoughts later, Bisexual-Wife removed Bi-Curious-Wife's pants and panties in one smooth movement. Bi-Curious-Wife was naked.
Bisexual-Wife yet again returned her attention to her friend's nipples. She sucked hard, she bit softly, she pinched. Her friend was breathing with difficulty. She was obviously very aroused. Slowly Bisexual-Wife kissed her way down to her friend's belly button, then on to her crotch. She kissed the top of her friend's slit, then her right thigh, her slit again, her left thigh, her slit again, her pussy lips. Suddenly Bisexual-Wife felt someone behind her. She quickly looked and saw her husband standing behind her. Mr. Bi-Curious-Wife was now making the photo's. Mr. Bisexual-Wife put his arms around his wife and undid her pants. She still had her mouth on the pussy of Bi-Curious-Wife when she half stood for her husband to pull her pants down. She was not wearing any panties. Bisexual-Wife turned all her attention back to her friend's pussy as she kneeled again. With her tongue she parted her friend's pussy lips and tasted the first hint of her friend's sweetness. She pulled Bi-Curious-Wife's bum a bit closer to the edge of the couch and pushed on the inside of her thighs. Directly in front of her the pussy of her friend opened up. She licked from the top to the bottom, then back up again, tasting the horny juices. While Bisexual-Wife licked the wet pussy of her friend, her husband had his hands on her clitoris. Bisexual-Wife sucked her friend's clitoris between her lips and circled her tongue around the hard knob. Her own excitement was heightening. Her pussy was dripping wet. She enjoyed the treatment her husband was giving her, while enjoying the taste of her friend.
Both women climaxed within seconds from each other.
The men were both horny too. It seemed as if the hot scene have made Mr. Bi-Curious-Wife forget about his inhibitions. He was craving for his wife, he wanted to fuck her there and then. Mr. Bisexual-Wife was always ready to fuck his wife. But the women had not have enough of each other yet. Bisexual-Wife grabbed the cushions off the couches, pushed the coffee table aside and threw the cushions on the floor. She lay down on the cushions and patted the space in front of her, looking at Bi-Curious-Wife. Her friend lay down in front of her. Bisexual-Wife kissed her friend, kissed each of her nipples, also lightly biting them, then kissed her belly and her pussy. She pushed her tongue deep between her friend's pussy lips, tasting her and then she lay down. The women were now facing each other's pussies. Again Bisexual-Wife patted the cushions, this time behind her and looking at her husband. Within moments he was behind her. She looked at Mr. Bi-Curious-Wife who was still on the couch, with the camera in his hand. Bisexual-Wife told him to put the camera down and to lie down behind his wife as she demonstratively put her hand on her husband's hard cock. He was still wearing his pants. She fumbled with his belt for a bit, making it clear that she wanted him to undress.
In the meantime Mr. Bi-Curious-Wife has lain down behind his wife. He followed the lead of the other man and took his pants off. Bisexual-Wife had clear sight on his hard cock, just as Bi-Curious-Wife had clear view on the hard cock of Mr. Bisexual-Wife. Bisexual-Wife felt her husband's hand on her tits, pinching her nipples. She was wet, she wanted to be fucked, she wanted to taste pussy. She paid all her attention to the pussy in front of her. Around her lots of things were happening. Mr. Bisexual-Wife was pinching her nipples; Mr. Bi-Curious-Wife was kissing his wife's neck and Bi-Curious-Wife covered Bisexual-Wife's pussy with her mouth. She loved the feeling of the warm mouth on her sex and the pinching of her nipples. Mr. Bi-Curious-Wife cupped one of his wife's breasts, rolling her hard nipple between his fingers. Mr. Bisexual-Wife ran his hand over his wife's buttocks and from behind he pushed a finger deep into her wet pussy. Bi-Curious-Wife felt the finger and pulled back. Bisexual-Wife moaned and pushed her crotch back towards Bi-Curious-Wife's face, clearly not wanting her to stop. Mr. Bisexual-Wife pulled his wife's leg up and entered her from behind. He held onto her leg as he pushed his cock in and out of her. Bisexual-Wife wondered if Mr. Bi-Curious-Wife would take the hint and fuck his wife too. He did. He copied the actions of Mr. Bisexual-Wife and soon his cock was in his wife too. Bisexual-Wife licked her friend's pussy, but her tongue also touched Mr. Bi-Curious-Wife's cock when he almost pulled it out of his wife. For the first time since the erotic scene has started, they heard Mr. Bi-Curious-Wife moan. Between Bisexual-Wife's legs her friend also discovered that she could lick both a pussy and a cock. Soon the men were not only fucking pussies, but also fucking mouths. The women were not only licking pussies, but also sucking cocks. When the men felt that they were soon going to come, they fucked their wives hard and deep. The women grunted and moaned, sucking hard on each other's clitorises. The men climaxed, spurting their loads deep into their wives. The women still sucked each other until they too climaxed.

Google's AI AlphaGo beats China's top Go master in best of three match
Google's artificial intelligence program AlphaGo went head to head in a best of three match against the world's number one player Ke Jie
hiddenMay 23, 2017 16:44:55 IST
Google's computer algorithm AlphaGo narrowly beat the world's top-ranked player in the ancient Chinese board game of Go on Tuesday, reaffirming the arrival of what its developers tout as a ground-breaking new form of artificial intelligence.
AlphaGo took the first of a scheduled three games against brash 19-year-old Chinese world number one Ke Jie, who after the match annointed the programme as the new "Go god".
AlphaGo stunned the Go community and futurists a year ago when it trounced South Korean grandmaster Lee Se-Dol four games to one. That marked the first time a computer programme had beaten a top player in a full contest and was hailed as a landmark for artificial intelligence (AI).
This week's match-up in the eastern Chinese city of Wuzhen, between Ke and an updated version of AlphaGo, has been highly anticipated amid speculation about whether AI could beat the world's top player.
But a visibly flummoxed Ke -- who last year had declared he would never lose to an AI opponent -- said AlphaGo had become too strong for humans, despite the razor-thin half-point winning margin.
"I feel like his game is more and more like the 'Go god'. Really, it is brilliant," he said. He vowed never again to subject himself to the "horrible experience" of matching wits with the machine following this week's contests.
AlphaGo's feats have fuelled visions of a brave new world of AI that can not only drive cars and operate "smart homes", but potentially help mankind figure out some of the most complex scientific, technical and medical problems. Computer programmes have previously beaten humans in cerebral contests, starting with the victory by IBM's Deep Blue over chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov in 1997.
But AlphaGo's success is considered the most significant yet for AI due to the complexity of Go, which has an incomputable number of move options and puts a premium on human-like "intuition", instinct and the ability to learn.
Go involves two players alternately laying black and white stones on a grid, seeking to seal off the most territory.
'Beautiful' game
Before AlphaGo, mechanical mastery of the game had been perceived to be years away. Its victories have been analysed and praised by students of the game as innovative and even "beautiful", opening up new ways of approaching strategy.
AlphaGo uses two sets of "deep neural networks" containing millions of connections similar to neurons in the brain. It is partly self-taught, having played millions of games against itself following initial programming. After Lee lost to AlphaGo last year, Ke boldly declared "Bring it on!"
But the writing was on the wall in January when Ke and other top Chinese players were flattened by a mysterious competitor in online contests. That opponent was revealed afterwards to be the latest version of AlphaGo, which was being given an online test run by its developer, London-based AI company DeepMind Technologies, which Google acquired in 2014.
Ke, a phenom who went pro at age 11 and has described himself as "pretentious", has vacillated between awe and disdain for AlphaGo. He called it a "cold machine" lacking passion for the game in comments Monday night on China's Twitter-like Weibo platform.
Ke and AlphaGo will face off again on Thursday and Saturday.For some, rapid advances in AI conjure sci-fi images of a "Terminator" future in which machines "wake up" and enslave humanity. But DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis dismissed such concerns.
"This isn't about man competing with machines, but rather using them as tools to explore and discover new knowledge together," he said before Tuesday's match. "Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether AlphaGo wins or loses... either way, humanity wins."

How to change the dome (rear passenger courtesy / personal reading) light bulbs in a 2013 to 2017 Toyota Avalon.
This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the fourth generation (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and possibly also the revised 2018 model year) Toyota Avalon sedan in changing a dead battery in the key fob remote control for the keyless entry and push button start systems.
A replacement light bulb is part number 2825.
You can also use any other miniature wedge base bulbs such as the # 168, 194, W5W or a brighter 2825 LED unit.
The only tool needed to access and replace the light bulbs is a small flathead screwdriver or a small plastic pry bar tool.
To prevent from scratching the plastic surfaces, you can either cover the tip of your screwdriver with a thin micro fiber cloth or use a plastic pry bar tool.
Insert the blade of the flathead screwdriver in between the inner edge of the lens cover and the light housing.
Gently pry out the lens cover. You may need to re-insert the screwdriver in another location to fully remove the lens cover.
If the old bulb was recently turned on, be careful when you remove it since it might still be hot enough to burn your fingers.
The OEM bulb was marked as a Toshiba 12V8W.
I wasn't able to find those online, so I recommend using the more commonly available miniature wedge base bulbs such as the 2825, 168, 194, W5W or a compatible LED unit.
Push the new light bulb straight in to the socket.
Line up the lens cover and gently pop the retaining clips back in to place.
Test the new dome light bulbs by pressing on the outer edge of the lens cover to activate the "On/Off" switches.

Pak's Multan horror: Nishtar Hospital blames police, rescue officials for piled up dead bodies on rooftop

Islamabad [Pakistan]: Pakistan's Nishtar Medical University has held police and rescue officials responsible for the pile up of unclaimed dead bodies on the hospital's roof, saying that the police do not take the bodies back on time and hence the medical facility is forced to keep the decaying bodies on the rooftop.
Accusing the officials, NMU Head of Anatomy Department Dr Mariam Ashraf stated that the bodies that the medical facility receives from police are usually decayed and they cannot be kept in the mortuary and are placed on the hospital rooftop, reported Geo TV. She also said that the influx of dead bodies was huge because the medical facility could not refuse to accept the bodies as it was bound to take them in as safekeeping.
This comes after at least 200 rotting corpses were found on the roof of a hospital in Pakistan's Multan city on Friday while several media reports said that the bodies were recovered in dubious circumstances, indicating that those people are forcibly disappeared Baloch persons.
Following the incident, the Punjab government formed a six-member committee to investigate the matter, reported The Daily Times. She made these remarks during a TV program where she accused the rescue officials and police of the piling up of bodies in the morgue and on its roof.
"Police and rescue officials ask us to keep it in the hospital," she said and added that the medical facility could not refuse to accept the bodies as it was bound to take them in as safekeeping, reported The Daily Times.
"The police and rescue officials do not take them back on time. We have written documents in which we have asked them to take the bodies. Since there is a lag, such things happen," the official said.
"Edhi Foundation has not been picking up bodies from our hospital since they do not have burial space in their graveyard," she added.
"The only reason for the bodies being kept on the roof is that their influx is huge and they aren't returning back to the police stations in the numbers that they should," she claimed.
However, the police and the Edhi foundation rejected the allegations. "We did not refuse Nishtar Hospital to bury the dead bodies; in fact, we contacted them today for the burial," Edhi claimed.
Sohail Abro, Chairman of Jeay Sindh Freedom Movement (JSFM), a Sindhi nationalist party, has termed the recovery of dead bodies from Multan's Nishtar Hospital roof in Pakistan's Punjab province as a "great tragedy in human history."
Pro-Baloch groups have voiced serious concern over the recovery of the dead bodies. In a statement, the Baloch National Movement (BNM) spokesperson said that the dead bodies discovered on the roof of Multan hospital and the condition of the dead bodies concern them.
The spokesperson said that the news went viral on social media with gruesome videos and pictures that around 500 unidentified mutilated bodies were found.
"Those who were thrown on the roof inhumanely, whose flesh was being eaten by vultures and crows. These bodies were identified by Tariq Gujjar, adviser to the Chief Minister of Punjab. Despite this, the Pakistani media has suppressed this news. It also shows this reality, that is why this news is being hidden in media," the BNM spokesperson said.
"In this month, the bodies of 168 unidentified people were found in Punjab. Those who were declared unknown persons and buried," the spokesperson added.
Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) chief Allah Nazar Baloch described the recovery of hundreds of dead bodies as a huge tragedy and urged the UN and the human rights agencies to take urgent notice of the gruesome incident. (ANI)

This month, our expert examines the best ways of tracking the ROI of online strategies across many consumer touchpoints.
The digital marketing landscape has become increasingly complex, and the way that consumers interact with technology has diversified to new devices. From tablet to mobile to desktop – and to emerging channels such as digital out-of-home, native ad formats and IPTV – there is a fast-growing number of digital channels and consumer touchpoints across which to market.
This blended consumer experience has opened up new opportunities to marketers. However, it has also opened up a number of challenges around the question of measurement.
Combining attribution technology with programmatic strategies can provide marketers with a solution to the cross-channel measurement issue. It allows all consumer touchpoints to be mapped out and assigned a value based on the impact that each brand exposure has on consumer behaviour. Marketers gain insight into the placements and creatives that drive success with audiences at each stage of the marketing funnel. This can be used to optimise ad effectiveness and reallocate budget in real time, ensuring that the right marketing mix is being directed to the right consumer.
This model also gives rise to other possibilities, such as applying contextual data. Consumers are likely to react differently when browsing on their mobile before work from when they use their tablet at the weekend. By using algorithms that measure and test success, based on factors such as time and device type, brands can make sure they are also serving the right ads at the right time and on the right device.
Gain a greater understanding of the impact of different creatives and placements on audiences at each stage of the marketing funnel.
Identify the type of conversion events that would drive the greatest ROI.
Apply contextual data, such as time and device type, to real-time ad buying.
Attribution ensures consumer interactions can be measured at all stages of the purchase process, empowering marketers to enhance multichannel success in real time.


The Sam F. Davis Stakes, the native prep for March's Tampa Bay Derby, takes place this Saturday. It's value 10 Kentucky Derby factors to the winner.
The Sam F. Davis Stakes drew an intriguing discipline of 10, led by final yr's runner-up within the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, KNICKS GO. An upset is a powerful risk, as KNICKS GO has probably leveled off whereas his competitors is poised to enhance. Let's dig into the résumés of the reside longshots.
#10 STILL DREAMING (15-1) is a half-brother to 2016 Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist who seemingly has boundless potential based mostly on his romping maiden win going one mile at Laurel Park. The $460ok buy improved dramatically in his first route race, which was simply his second begin to date. STILL DREAMING ought to get an excellent stalking setup from this put up beneath Jorge Vargas Jr., who will get a leg up from coach Graham Movement. He's been getting over the Tampa observe nicely sufficient within the mornings, although he's by no means recorded blazing-fast AM works.
#Eight SO ALIVE (5-1) lately beat #1 COUNTER OFFER over this course final month in preparation for the Sam F. Davis. The allowance win, which boosted his profession file to 3-2-0-0, was his first begin over a dry observe, and he overcame a gradual begin and a three-wide journey. The Todd Pletcher trainee will get a key rider improve to Javier Castellano and simply turned in a bullet exercise to arrange for this begin. SO ALIVE might win from nearly anyplace based mostly on his temporary profession operating traces.
#6 KENTUCKY WILDCAT (9-2) has turned in among the higher velocity figures within the discipline thus far, although it took him three begins to interrupt his maiden. He didn't have the hardest journey in his first profession victory, as he stalked a reasonably gradual tempo. However Joe Bravo sees match to ship in for the decision.
#Three KNICKS GO (5-2, morning-line favourite) was final seen ending up the observe in a sloppy renewal of the Kentucky Jockey Membership Stakes at Churchill Downs. Previous to that debacle, KNICKS GO was making waves within the two-year-old division as he upset Keeneland's Breeders' Futurity at 70-1 earlier than putting second behind Sport Winner within the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Nevertheless, along with his frontrunning model and the truth that he could have peaked as a two-year-old, KNICKS GO might be a foul wager in a race loaded with velocity and potential breakout performers.

Aristotle's Account Of The Virtue Of Courage In Nicomachean Ethics Iii.6-9, Howard J. Curzer
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Aristotle's account of courage exhibits several general principles of his architectonic. First, Aristotle applies to courage what I have called the doctrine of disjoint spheres. (1) Each virtue has its own sphere completely separate from the spheres of all other virtues. Aristotle then goes on to narrow the sphere of courage by insisting correctly that courage governs only situations involving both fear and confidence. Aristotle does not make the mistake of further restricting courage to life-threatening situations. Like his accounts of other virtues, Aristotle's account of courage involves several different parameters. (2) Each virtue is a disposition for ...

Nietzsche'S Critique Of Morality And Revaluation Of Values, Omar Bin Salamah University of Iowa
Nietzsche'S Critique Of Morality And Revaluation Of Values, Omar Bin Salamah
Honors Theses at the University of Iowa
One of Nietzsche's main projects was to critique morality and to invite a revaluation of our values. Neither secular nor religious interpretations of Nietzsche's critique of morality do it justice. Each support their own interpretation by appealing to certain aspects of his writings. The former appeal to Nietzsche's rejection of Christianity and Christian morality; while the latter appeal to Nietzsche's anti-democratic and anti-egalitarian remarks. In actuality, Nietzsche was neither of the two: he argued that Western secular moralities are a modern manifestation of Christian morality, and that Christian morality is a manifestation of what he comes ...
Seneca And The Stoic View Of Suicide, Walter Englert Reed College
Seneca And The Stoic View Of Suicide, Walter Englert
will present a summary of the Stoic doctrine on suicide before Seneca, followed by an analysis of Seneca's own views. Our sources on Stoic views of suicide before Seneca are meager. But they allow us to construct a coherent Stoic theory of suicide, and in Seneca we see the theory fleshed out. Rist is right to point out that we find a connection between suicide and libertas for the first time in Seneca, but wrong to suppose that it is inconsistent with earlier Stoic teaching, pathological, or based on a hatred of life.8 Seneca's views are consistent ...
Aristotle On Women, Francis Sparshott University of Toronto
Aristotle On Women, Francis Sparshott
Sex differentiation is a pervasive and striking feature of the animal world, of which humans form a part. Patriarchy and role differentiation between men and women are pervasive phenomena in human societies. Aristotle is not about to re-design the world. But these phenomena are explained and justified at the economic level, and that is not where human values lie. At the higher level of civilized life, the differentiation becomes anomalous. Aristotle never shows how the anomaly is to be overcome. This is partly because the account of the homestead and the treatment of the city as such are not made ...

A Dickensian Utilitarianism, Zachary Allentuck
Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019
This paper argues that Charles Dickens' political and world views were in sympathy with Utilitarianism, as defined by Jeremy Bentham. The Utilitarianism Dickens attacked in A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, and Little Dorrit was not real utilitarianism; it was utilitarianism appropriated by England's middle-class.

Aristotle's Account Of Time: A Moderate Realism, Pierre-Luc Boudreault 2020 The University of Western Ontario
Aristotle's Account Of Time: A Moderate Realism, Pierre-Luc Boudreault
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This dissertation proposes an interpretation of Aristotle's theory of time as a whole from a study of Physics IV. 10-14. It addresses interpretive issues and objections pertaining to Aristotle's view about the nature of time, its existence, as well as its unity and universality. In response to these problems, the interpretation of some ancient and medieval commentators – Themistius, Simplicius, Philoponus, Albert the Great and in particular, Thomas Aquinas – is by and large defended against recent interpretations. It is argued that by defining time as "the number of movement with respect to the "before" and "after" (Phys. IV. 11 ...
An Archaeology Of Contemporary Speculative Knowledge, Justas Patkauskas 2020 The University of Western Ontario
An Archaeology Of Contemporary Speculative Knowledge, Justas Patkauskas
This dissertation investigates contemporary speculative knowledge grounded in the immanence episteme, which is struggling to emerge as a foundation for a new kind of absolute knowledge. Regarding method, I use Michel Foucault's concept of archaeology, situating archaeology in the context of deconstruction. In general, by delineating the various differences and genealogies within immanence theory, I show that immanence is neither a monolithic homogeneity nor a schizophrenic multiplicity but a coherent, if troubled, ground for speculative thought.
In Chapter 1, I define deconstruction as a broad philosophical project concerned with the order of knowledge and the University and its disciplines ...

Damnatio Memoriae: On Deleting The East From Western History, Koert Debeuf
New England Journal of Public Policy
The story we read in books about the Renaissance tells us that Petrarch and Poggio rediscovered the books of antiquity that had been copied for centuries in medieval abbeys. The re-introduction of Greek science and philosophy, however, began in the twelfth century but occurred mainly in the thirteenth century. These works were first translated into Syriac and Arabic in the eighth and ninth centuries and stored in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. There they were read, used, and commented on by Arab philosophers, of whom the most famous was Averroes (1126–1198), who lived in Cordoba. The translation of ...

Medieval Thinking In The 21st Century: Crystal Balls, Black Swans, And Darwin's Finches In The Time Of Corona, George Conesa
The International Journal of Ecopsychology (IJE)
Twenty years into the 21st Century, a sizable swath of the world populace thinks, makes decisions, and defines itself in a conflicted and contradictory chimera. Millions of individuals make use of cutting-edge technologies while simultaneously throwing salt over their shoulders and consulting with the local 'healer' about any number of illnesses--to caricaturize, a sort of medieval-thinker-tech-savvy orientation. It is here affirmed that the practical consequences of this agentic amalgamation, modes of thinking, and "being in the world" are counterproductive at best and self-defeating at worst, resulting in much uncertainty and leading to, for example, mixed messages in public health approaches ...

National Education System In The Educational Ideas Of Jadidism, Yulduz Namazova
The Light of Islam
The philosophy of education, which was formed in Turkestan in the late 19th - early 20 th centuries, is interpreted as an area of research that analyzes the national pedagogical activity and educational foundations of these modern educators, its goals and ideals, the methodology of pedagogical knowledge, methods of creating a new Russian school system. Thus, it can be said with confidence that the philosophy of education, as an area that has a socio-institutional form during this period, reflected the goals and objectives of the educational program of the Jadids. We know that during the formation of the Jadid Enlightenment, special ...

Mahmudkhuja Behbudiy As A Leader Of Jadid Reforms, Muminjon Xujaev
We are witnessing that the ideas of our Jadids, who tried to raise Turkestan through enlightenment to the level of world civilization at the beginning of the 20th century, and who showed modern education as a solution to the problems of that period, have not lost their signifcance today. In this sense, the study of the works of the famous orientalist Mahmudkhodja Behbudi based on new scientifc criteria plays an important role in the study of issues of interethnic communication, peaceful coexistence, education, culture, and religious tolerance. M. Behbudi in the late 19th and early 20th centuries began a systematic ...

Art, Anatomy, And Political Theory In The Late Renaissance: Creating An Image Of The Renaissance Body, Isabel Lauren Gheytanchi
The Macksey Journal
Universal access to the human body allows the body to serve as a common standard to which all things are measured against; an accessible analog. Societies cling to the comfort and stability of the universal human body when approaching new ideas. So naturally by the end of the European Renaissance (1450-1650) the prevalence of the human body in intellectual and artistic circles reflected the chaos brought on by new, unsettling Renaissance ideas. But with these new ideas and discoveries came a new understanding of embodiment: The Renaissance's cultural construction of the human body. Previous historians have emphasized the advancement ...

"Second Sight": Acknowledging W.E.B. Du Bois's "Double Consciousness" As A Step Towards Dissolution, Alexandra M. Hudecki
This project examines American scholar W.E.B.'s DuBois' idea of "double consciousness", from his book The Souls of Black Folk (1903). The idea of "double consciousness" has and continues to be utilized by Black scholars and artists in literary, theoretical, and psychological contexts, some of which I hope my paper will adequately survey. I begin by examining "double consciousness" from the perspective of particulars by understanding Du Bois's original idea and the specificities of the American context he himself was a part, considering the legacy of slavery. Then, by focusing primarily on writers such as Frantz Fanon ...
Marin Mersenne And Pierre Gassendi As Descartes' Questioners, Alejandra Velázquez Zaragoza, Leonel Toledo Marín 2020 UNAM
Marin Mersenne And Pierre Gassendi As Descartes' Questioners, Alejandra Velázquez Zaragoza, Leonel Toledo Marín
Western Ontario Early Modern Philosophy (WOEMP) Online Events
In the following pages, we will explore the proximity of Marin Mersenne and Pierre Gassendi's arguments against Descartes' "Meditations." We will study how, in some of their objections, both Mersenne and Gassendi adopted a nominalist and an empiricist view regarding central topics in Cartesian epistemology, such as the idea of God, and the origin and classification of ideas in the mind. We propose that the assessment of the confrontation between the two objectors and Descartes may provide us a better picture of the complex intellectual debates that took place at the very beginnings of modern philosophy.
Dreams And Ideas: Baxter On Berkeley, Melissa Frankel 2020 Carleton
Dreams And Ideas: Baxter On Berkeley, Melissa Frankel
In this paper I look at a particular narrative, famously articulated by Reid, that holds that Descartes's 'Way of Ideas' leads inevitably to Berkeley's immaterialism. In the service of examining this narrative more closely, I consider Andrew Baxter's early 18th century criticisms of Berkeley, and especially Baxter's view that immaterialism begins with a dream hypothesis and is therefore self-undermining. I suggest that a careful consideration of Baxter's criticism(s) is illuminating in a number of ways: in so far as it anticipates future criticisms of and engagements with Berkeleyan immaterialism, in so far as ...

Are Animal Machines? Gómez Pereira And Descartes On Animal Minds, Enrique Chávez-Arvizo
Forty two years before Descartes' birth, in his Antoniana Margarita (Medina del Campo, 1554), Spanish physician and philosopher Gómez Pereira explicitly argues the following assertions:
(1) Animals lack reason
(2) Animals lack understanding
(3) Animals do not think
(4) Animals cannot feel (Bruta non sentire)
(5) Animals cannot see as we do
(6) Animals are machines
(7) Animals have no rational soul
(8) Animals have no indivisible soul
(9) Animals have no language
The above claims on animal automatism are commonly thought to have originated with Descartes. In this paper I will expound Gómez Pereira's arguments, contra the School ...
Kant, Cicero, And The Stoic Doctrine Of The Highest Good, Corey Dyck 2020 Western
Kant, Cicero, And The Stoic Doctrine Of The Highest Good, Corey Dyck
In this presentation I consider the context for Kant's discussion of the highest good in the Dialectic of the second Critique. I begin by showing how his original account of the highest good in the Canon of the first Critique addresses deficiencies in ancient accounts, particularly in the Stoic identification of virtue and happiness. I then consider the defense of the Stoic conception in Christian Garve's influential translation and commentary on Cicero's De officiis in 1783. It is, I contend, this account, which engages with Kant's discussion in the Canon at a number of junctures, that ...

It's Alive: Margaret Cavendish On Matter, Order, And God, Marleen Rozemond 2020 University of Toronto
It's Alive: Margaret Cavendish On Matter, Order, And God, Marleen Rozemond
Margaret Cavendish is widely regarded as a vitalist: she considers all matter as alive, including an endowment with mental capacities, and rejects dualism. She rejects two important motives for dualism in the period. She agrees with her Cambridge Platonist contemporaries, More and Cudworth (and many others) that the order in nature ultimately comes from God's plans. But she rejects their view that matter can't execute God's commands and that their execution requires immaterial entities. For Cavendish matter is shot through with rationality and the power to implement plans. This conception of matter comes with an utter rejection ...
Descartes And Our Philosophies, Juan Carlos Moreno Romo 2020 UAQ
Descartes And Our Philosophies, Juan Carlos Moreno Romo
We propose to show that, although we think of Descartes as a "modern Parmenides" or as the "father of Modernity", otherwise for excellent reasons, this condition is at least as ambiguous as different are the cultures or societies that arose from the breakdown of Christianity. Where the Protestant Reformation triumphed, the dominant conception of philosophy is manifestly anticartesian, although they recognize, curiously, a debt to Cartesian philosophy; for example, we recognize this due in Wittgenstein and Heidegger. Neither empiricist nor rationalist, neither analytical nor continental, nor national or identitarian either, more than a "French", "European" or "Western" philosopher, Descartes would ...
Leibniz'S Analysis Of Change: Vague States, Physical Continuity, And The Calculus, Richard Arthur 2020 McMaster University
Leibniz'S Analysis Of Change: Vague States, Physical Continuity, And The Calculus, Richard Arthur
One of the most puzzling features of Leibniz's deep metaphysics is the apparent contradiction between his claims (1) that the law of continuity holds everywhere, so that in particular, change is continuous in every monad, and (2) that "changes are not really continuous," since successive states contradict one another. In this paper I try to show in what sense these claims can be understood as compatible. My analysis depends crucially on Leibniz's idea that enduring states are "vague," and abstract away from further changes occurring within them at a higher resolution—consistently with his famous doctrine of "petites ...
Spinoza On Language, Luis Ramos-Alarcón 2020 UACM
Spinoza On Language, Luis Ramos-Alarcón
Some scholars have understood that Spinoza's extreme rationalism, nominalism, conventionalism, and rejection of a semantic theory of truth make his philosophy incapable to use language for philosophical and scientific purposes; insofar he considered language a source of inadequate knowledge, falsity, and error. Thus Spinoza finds contradiction in his inevitable use of language to express his philosophy. This paper has four aims: first, propose an explanation on why language is inadequate knowledge for Spinoza; second, present differences between inadequacy, falsity, and error in language; third, argue on the Spinozian use of the geometrical method as a solution for the adequate ...

Q: SQL Drop down to include hidden parameters the code listed below currently populates the drop down list like
All Sports
Sports - Baseball
Sports - Bowling
Sports - Basketball
which is really
Logtypid=3935  -  subtypeid=x
I am in need for the subtype id to pull 2 additional subtypes, that do not hold a logtypeid of 3935, but the issue is that those subtypes have a logtypeid of 626. I only need the students that have a logtypeid of 3935 though. Currently.. the way I have it written:
SELECT DISTINCT log.logtypeid,
CASE WHEN log.subtype is null THEN ' ' ELSE log.subtype END subID,
CASE WHEN ','||'~[gpv:lt]'||',' LIKE '%,' || log.subtype || '.' || CASE WHEN log.subtype is null THEN ' ' ELSE log.subtype END || ',%' THEN 'selected' ELSE '' END isselected,
lt.Name logtype,
CASE WHEN to_char(st.ValueT) is null THEN ' - NONE' ELSE ' - ' || to_char(st.ValueT) END subtype
FROM log
INNER JOIN gen lt ON log.logtypeid = lt.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN gen st ON st.Name = to_char(lt.ID)
AND st.value = log.subtype
AND st.Cat = 'subtype'
WHERE lt.Cat = 'logtype'
AND  logtypeid = '3935'
AND to_char(log.schoolid) like CASE WHEN ~(curschoolid) = 0 THEN '%' ELSE to_char(~(curschoolid)) END
ORDER BY subtype
              ;]

I have tried everything and I am beginning to think that maybe in order to get the results needed, I may need to create a table for it. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
Data Example:

STUDENTID       LOGTYPEID       SUBTYPE
  6382             626             27
  6382             626             41
  6382             626             38
  6382             626             43
  6382             626             29
  6382            3935            109
  6382            3935            117
  6383             626             43
  6383             626             30
  6383             626             43
  6383             626             25
  6383             626             43
  6383             626             14
  6383            3935            117
  6400             626             38
  6401             626             28
  6401             626             36
  6401            3935            110

The code is populating select options, using tlist, for a drop down which is used to run a report. The select option names are from within the GEN table, which should explain the joins. Sports logs are 3935, and health logs are 626. We only wanna display sports logs in the drop down list. When Sports - Baseball is selected, and the report is run, the output should be only students who have logtype 3935 and subtype x(whichever subtype is baseball), but the output needs to also pull the same students logtypeid 626, specifically only subtype 29 and 43. Does that make sense?

A: This is tough without knowing how data is stored in the tables, the data itself and the output. But, here goes another stab in the dark:
To summarize: You want every logtype with id "3935", and the subtypes of this. Then you also want two subtypes from another logtype, with id "626".
Data example (in reality, you're getting data from two tables):
logtypeid    subtype    name
3935         100        Baseball
3935         101        Bowling
626          29         Fishing
626          43         Golfing

So far it's quite straight forward, but then there is a quite messy select-case that I'll just hope doesn't need changing.
How about:
WHERE lt.Cat = 'logtype'
AND (logtypeid = '3935' OR (logtypeid = '626' AND subtype IN ('29','43')))

Since I'm not sure how "lt.Cat" behaves, this might be needed:
WHERE ((lt.Cat = 'logtype' AND logtypeid = '3935') OR (lt.Cat = 'subtype' AND logtypeid = '626' AND subtype IN ('29','43')))

I've tried re-engineering your DB in sqlfiddle but I'm not doing it 100% correctly. Please add an example in sqlfiddle if you need more help with this, so I can test it with data.

After an excellent July, August has been a bit more mixed with plenty of sunshine but also rain. As a result the course is much greener than normal for this time of year, but it hasn't detracted from its playing qualities, with accurate shot making and good ball striking needed to find fairways and greens in regulation.
One thing the rain has helped with is the new chipping area built this spring. Having been unable to work on the green as planned in the winter we completed work in the spring, opting for seed over turf. With good growth in August the turf has thickened up nicely and we could well open the area for use before too long.
Adam Newton from the STRI (Sports Turf Research Institute) carried out performance testing this month too, highlighting signs of good progress but also areas where further improvements can be prioritised.
Positives were with firmness, smoothness and trueness, all showing readings expected for tournament standards. The stand out negative being that the greens are still a little slower than desired. This however, is not a major concern and our plans to purchase a greens roller (or 'turf iron' as they are sometimes known) will allow us to inject extra pace without overly affecting the health of the turf. This is so important as simply looking to achieve speed through aggressive treatments and close mowing would compromise all of our work achieving firm, smooth, true and consistent greens all year round.
Despite our successes the job is never done and maintaining standards is ongoing. One task that we haven't carried out sufficiently is top dressing the greens with sand, largely due to such a damp spring. So we had a little catching up to do last month and did so with some renovation work which involved heavy sanding and spiking. Sand was firstly applied by spreader at around a ton per green and then the greens were tined using the Toro Procore to push the sand into the turf canopy and create shallow holes. Then another half ton more sand was applied and brushed into the green filling up the holes. This isn't ideal as the work is disruptive for a few days, but it is extremely important. Our intention is to apply top dressing little and often, but such is the environment that we work in, sometimes our plans are disrupted and we need to be able to adapt.
Elsewhere, work has been carried out on greens collars and approaches. This has involved further treatments of the coarser grasses (with Ryegrass the most problematic) helping to refine the grasses and offer improved playing qualities and aesthetics. This was followed by hollow coring, overseeding and topdressing which helps recovery but also increasing the turf with fescue grasses.
Other routine operations have continued with wetting agent and seaweed applied to greens and greens approaches. All bunkers have been kept mown as well as being weeded and topped up with sand where needed. Often this is just a question of moving sand from one area of the bunker to another after migration from play, wind and rain.
We have also continued to cut and collect areas of long rough and next month we will look to carry this out extensively to all areas.
For the month ahead the golfing schedule is busy and therefore we shall need to focus on maintaining standards daily. We are going into the time of year though where conditions can become perfect for turf disease. Although fungal disease has to be monitored all year, autumn is when it can be most devastating and with the days shortening and temperatures dropping we have already started to see heavy dew on the grass and also the dreaded sea frets looming. Each morning we make sure to clear dew from the turf, but when the sea frets come in it is impossible to do so with dew reforming in minutes. For that reason amongst others we will apply a preventative fungicide to help protect the turf during this period. The use of iron sulphate will also begin as this helps to deter the disease further as well as hardening the turf grass.


Holidays can be a challenging time for families, leaving them without structure, routine and support. This can influence family relationships with tensions running high and everyone becoming frustrated.
•	Trollification, creating troll heads!
We are excited to be offering out of school clubs and holiday activities throughout the year, based upon the success so far. We are constantly looking for ideas, so if you have any suggestions, let us know and we will see what we can do!

Merseyside's young performers invited to top theatre school
LIVERPOOL Theatre School is inviting budding young stars of the stage to attend a special open day next week (21st November).
The prestigious musical theatre and acting school, based on Aigburth Road, is only one of two places in the north west to offer the highly regarded Trinity College London diploma in both professional musical theatre and professional acting. The school also offers a one year foundation course in musical theatre.
The open day is designed for school leavers who have an interest in pursuing a career on the stage. During the open day, young performers and their families will have the chance to meet Liverpool Theatre School's team of teachers, many of whom have worked with some of the industry's top talent. Adam Douglas, Course Director, has worked with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cameron Mackintosh, while Alan Pattison, Head of the Acting Course, has worked with David Hare and Jude Law.
Maxine Ellis, Principal at Liverpool Theatre School, said: "Most performers who go on to achieve success know from an early age that they want to be on the stage. Our open days have been created to help those young people find the right career path, enabling them to get the attention they deserve.
"The format gives young people a good opportunity to ask both students and staff questions about what it's really like to train here."
Liverpool Theatre School Graduate, Oliver Ormson, who is currently touring with The Addams Family as Lucas Beineke, said: "The support and training I received at Liverpool Theatre School prepared me well for this incredible profession. I thoroughly enjoyed my course and by the time I graduated, I was really well equipped for auditions. I'll always be grateful to Liverpool Theatre School for giving me the best possible start to my stage career."
Liverpool Theatre School, established in 1939, attracts students from across the country and abroad as well as Merseyside. More than 90 percent of students at Liverpool Theatre School have achieved success in musical theatre or progressed to higher education with many graduates appearing in West End musicals.
Liverpool Theatre School will be holding further open days in the New Year and auditions will take place on 3rd December and 28th January, 4th March, 22nd April and 10th June next year.
To reserve a place at one of the open days, contact Liverpool Theatre School on 0151 728 7800. Visit www.liverpooltheatreschool.co.uk for more information.

As You Were: Life Post-Women's Day
by	amritat
Follow On News	Follow On
It's so nice to have that one day to feel special, but now that it's over — almost like when your birthday's done — it's back to the usual: questionable safety, navigating a potentially hazardous, sexual harassment-prone city that you live in. Talk is all well and good, but negotiate your spaces carefully, dears — that seems to be the message.
While there's no question about tokenism, at least IWD gives people (read media) the window to focus on women, entrepreneurs, achievers, women of substance. And the labels do seem get ever-more esoteric every year. I was delighted to meet two friends who were being honoured for their incredible achievements, and it was truly well-deserved recognition.
But look at the labels and how they've transformed — there are your power women, your women of substance, your women of wonder, and your women of true or awesome or wonderful wonder. Women of style and substance, and of course all wonder women must be celebrated. It's a laudable gesture and commitment. But, what about regular women? Women running your household? Women slaving away without a pay cheque? Women watching your kids? Women who get less of a pay cheque than their male peers, but have no shot at media attention? Aren't we oblivious — given the class privilege we rarely acknowledge? Shouldn't we be celebrating regular women, who are fighting tremendous odds, every single day in this country, for a shot at a decent, even good life?
But, what about regular women? Women running your household? Women slaving away without a pay cheque?
Maybe that's too cumbersome. At least Women's Day sometimes allows the media that window to talk about major issues, like trafficking, domestic violence, acid attacks, and sexual assault. These are issues that continue to make us incredibly uncomfortable, and sometimes, we don't know how to deal. The reporting either follows a 'sensational' case, but forgets about trauma or triggers while the case is going on, rounding up survivors, who are easily forgotten when the news cycle is done. It's hard not to get cynical, tracking that sort of cycle.
At least Women's Day sometimes allows the media that window to talk about major issues, like trafficking, domestic violence, acid attacks, and sexual assault.
But except for social media, how to focus on the every-day, rather banal issue of lack of representation? Witness the 'manels', finally being called out. Lack of gender diversity in the workplace or boardroom? Wage disparity? Not so much.
'You just can't win', some guys feel. 'Take me out and shoot me': I heard some distinguished fellow say words to this effect, on Women's Day, in a sort of jokey way. (But surely, this one day wasn't about you, I itched to reply.)
What is it women really want, some wail?
Well, how about equality, for one? The right to equal representation? The right to have a safe environment, same as as anyone else. The right not to be stalked? The right not to have acid thrown and then have reports explain the violence as that done by a "spurned lover". Rangoli Ranaut's recent statement on how painful it is — even if you can afford the reconstructive surgery — to recover, should and must grab our attention. The way Laxmi's campaign did. And yet, more must be done to regulate the sale of acid. Violence of this nature isn't acceptable.
Beyond Women's Day
In this country, as we sit here, having this conversation, we can't forget what the original point of a Women's Day was. Part of the labour movement, it was about the struggle for equality, and thus retains its relevance. After all, while we might have the right to vote, we still have a long way to go. The good folks at Raoit have a major point too, about which realities we choose to reflect.
Equally clear, is that there's no way to talk about gender rights and justice without being inclusive and non-binary, or without looking at all the other struggles that are inherent — and I thank Dr Anita Ghai for articulating this so well— you can't ignore disability rights, just as you can't avoid addressing sexual discrimination, caste-based discrimination… And bigotry, by any other name, which may or may not clash with our pink gifts and spa coupons.

Central, ranked as high as No. 8 nationally by USA Today, will need its blend of newcomers and veterans to be at their best when it opens the high school football season Saturday at noon against Hoover High at Buccaneer Stadium.
The game will be televised on ESPN and is part of a star-studded kickoff weekend of games for South Florida teams that also includes defending national champion Miami Booker T. Washington taking on Oscar Smith (Virginia) at 9 p.m. Saturday.
Hoover, ranked No. 3 nationally by MaxPreps.com, enters the game on a 30-game winning streak and has won eight state titles since 2000.
The team was featured on an MTV reality series Two-a-Days during its 2006 and 2007 seasons.
The Bucs' defense is expected to be one of the toughest in the nation, led by defensive end Christian Bell, an Alabama commitment, linebacker Darrell Williams, an Auburn commitment, and a solid core of juniors.
Hoover's offense is also formidable, with a running game led by Braderick Shaw (6-1, 195 pounds), quarterback Jack Hutcheson and Mississippi State commitment and wide receiver Justin Johnson.
Hoover has won its past five games against out-of-state opponents. Central is 2-3 in its past five games against out-of-state opponents but beat the last Alabama team it faced when it beat Prattville at Traz Powell Stadium in 2010.
Central is on a 12-game winning streak that began last season following a loss to Booker T. in the second week of the regular season.
This matchup with Hoover is the first of a three-game gauntlet to open the season that continues Aug. 30 at the Battle of the Borders Classic in Clarkston, Georgia, where the Rockets face Stephenson High.
Central returns home a week later to face Booker T. on Sept. 5 at Traz Powell.
"If you want to be good or you want to be great, you've got to play the best teams out there," Smith said.
Central hopes to reverse a trend of losing recent road openers.
The Rockets suffered a lopsided loss at Grayson (Georgia) in 2012 and a heartbreaker at Camden County (Georgia) in 2010.
Conditions at game time Saturday could be very hot, even for a team from Miami that is used to the heat.

5 Tips to Use News Events to Drive Traffic to Your Landing Page
By Angela Stringfellow on April 25th, 2012 in Lead Generation | 9 comments
Capitalizing on news events is a useful way to drive traffic to your landing pages through social media channels, like Twitter and Facebook. In addition to mainstream news, you can use company press releases to earn dozens of backlinks, driving more landing page traffic – we'll learn about this later.
How to find news
A crucial component of using mainstream news events to drive traffic to any landing page is relevancy. Many marketers are stuck in analysis mode, not knowing where to look to uncover newsworthy topics. There are a few savvy tricks for keeping tabs on the news in your industry and even being the first to break it to your social network.
Google Alerts are an automated search which emails the results or delivers them to an RSS feed in specified time intervals. This trick can land the most recently-published industry news directly in a marketing director's inbox right, in near real-time. What could be simpler?
Google Trends lets marketers know what's trending among search topics. Marketers can use the tool to determine what key terms are being used for search in different topic areas, as well as to drill down to the most relevant hot topics on the web.
Google News, the journalist's search mecca includes only search results from approved news publications. Websites earning placement in Google News must meet a strict set of qualifying criteria, so the likelihood of encountering total garbage, while it still exists, is minimized.
AllTop is the brainchild of author and entrepreneur Guy Kawasaki. The site compiles the most popular stories from well-known bloggers and media gurus, and users can even drill down to category-specific results.
Your social networks, like Google+, Facebook and Twitter are a fabulous place to find juicy news. Remember the day Seal Team Six successfully found and defeated Osama bin Laden? The news broke first on Twitter.
5 Ways to use news to drive traffic
There are a number of ways marketers can use news events to drive traffic to a landing page through any social network.
1. Create a press release "story" based on recent news and statistics
Businesses can create a press release using a combination of other news stories to prove a point, offering the company's products or services as the solution. Home Instead Senior Care uses this tactic regularly as part of its overall content strategy.
Link to the press release in Twitter and Facebook news feeds. A press release, of course, can also be used to publicize the company's own news, such as a new CEO, new product launch or accomplishment. Inc.com suggests incorporating links to social media channels within the press release to improve share-ability and even incorporating embedded YouTube videos, other media and links to related resources. These tactics make it easier for journalists to find what they need to build a story.
2. Lead in to a blog post with a current event, finish by directing readers to a landing page
CloutSmith.com recommends using "interesting posts, constant engagement and quality content" to drive traffic. Post links to the blog post on Twitter and Facebook to create a traffic funnel.
3. Write a Facebook note
According to FabAdsLab.com, Facebook notes have strong search engine optimization (SEO) value and can be used for just about anything: a full blog post, casual commentary or a list of tips and tricks. This tactic can be taken a step further by tagging a third party's fan page mentioned in the story, so the note not only shows up in the original business' news feed, but in the other's news feed as well. Building links into the content naturally.
4. Participate in cause marketing and charitable events
Any business can get involved in a charitable event or cause and publicize the company's efforts and support using Facebook and Twitter. Similar to a Facebook note, tagging the charitable organization's own Facebook page will cause links and posts to appear in that page's news feed as well, improving overall visibility. These partnerships should be mutually-beneficial and relevant, advises SelfishGiving.com, and both parties should research the other's reputation and level of social media activity before coming to an agreement. NetworkforGood.com offers a useful checklist on planning a social cause marketing campaign.
5. Respond to and comment on relevant news-worthy posts and events
People tend to ask questions and pose problems on social networks (such as Quora and LinkedIn), actively seeking the advice of their connections. Marketers who actively seek out, respond to and engage with the community can quickly earn recognition as a subject-matter expert. Responding to appropriate questions with real solutions and a casual link back to a landing page (without shameless self-promotion) is an effective tactic for driving landing page traffic. This can also be done by responding using a Facebook page rather than an individual's account, thereby increasing the brand's visibility.
Using news events to drive landing page traffic is an effective way to gain visibility through taking a more active role in public commentary. Using this technique, marketers can easily jump into conversations and move beyond simply posting links to a company's landing page in social media news feeds. Building conversations around relevant news topics moves a business beyond self-promotion and into true engagement.

Binary options glossary will provide you with all the terms and their meanings which are frequently used in Binary Options Trading. This is a type of online trading which gives you digital returns. If you are in the right side then you will get your return but if you are in the wrong side you will make nothing. It is also recognized as fixed return options or all or nothing options.
Binary Options glossary for Binary Options trading is as goes.
It is the instrument on which you will base your entire trade on. It can be stocks, commodities, Foreign Exchange or currency pairs, indices etc.
It is a term described when at the expiry time of trading you get no return but you also do not lose anything because the price of the asset does not change through the entire trading period.
This is the choice made by the trader out of the two options given in which the trader has full confidence that it will provide him with a return on his investment.
This is the price of the asset got from reports in real time. It is used to differentiate between real time prices and free market prices of the asset. The latter is delayed by fifteen minutes or more.
It is another term for Binary options which has a fixed return as well as fixed loss.
This is the current price of the asset when trading closes according to the chosen expiry time by the trader. So whether you have made some money out of your trading depends solely on this expiry price of the commodity in the above/below kind of trading.
In the Binary option glossary this has been elucidated clearly that this is the return one gets if their trading ends in an escalation of the asset price. In Binary options this return is as high as 84%.
This is referred to the products sold directly between two separate groups. In Binary options trading occurs over the counter without the interference of any broker as happens in exchanges.
This is referred to the situation in which the investor makes a loss i.e. his ending price is less than his current price if the contract was of a call option and vice versa for Put option. The losses are pretty steep in Binary options trading.
This is referred to a situation where in the investor makes a profit. The call option contract will ask for the ending price to be higher than the current price and vice versa for put option contract.
The amount of money invested in any of the contract options like call or Put. Basically your profit will be a percentage of this or your loss will be a percentage of this.

Growers must consider the fertilizer source, application rate, and the timing of application when managing for extra bushels at harvest. But, with a few helpful tools, growers can take some of the guesswork out of crop production. Analysis is a great way to know what baseline nutrients are available for production, rather than hoping the fields are holding enough fertility to make a crop. The most effective analyses include soil testing, plant tissue analysis, and nitrate testing.
Each of these tests offers a measurement of how much nutrient a plant has available to convert into yield. To utilize these tools, I typically recommend four steps for growers and their consultants to work through in order to gain that extra yield.
The first step for growing a high yielding crop is to determine the nutrient content of the soil. Soil is the medium for all plant growth, so soil tests are a great way for growers to determine what to adjust in order to set a strong foundation for high yield.
Basic soil tests vary by region, but most include the soils acidity (pH), organic matter (OM), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). Look for a lab that can provide Calcium (Ca) and Magnesium (Mg), and Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) (Ca and Mg elements calculate CEC) components in the soil analysis.
The CEC is a measurement of the soil's ability to hold nutrients. CEC levels will dictate how much fertilizer to apply in one application and can help provide insight into the soil's resistance to pH changes.
I liken the scope of soil and plant fertility to driving a vehicle. Soil tests are a great indicator of what is in a field's 'nutrient gas tank'. We can establish that there is a full tank of phosphorus and potassium. The problem is that the fuel gauge only provides a limited amount of information.
The second step for finding extra bushels is looking at the 'nutrient speedometer', or a plant tissue analysis, to gather more movement information. Plant tissue analysis reports have many different formats but they all explain the same thing. Ultimately, they provide a picture of how much of each nutrient was in a plant on a given day.
Plant tissue analysis reports are generally laid out in a bar or radial graph and compared to known sufficiency ranges. The sources of these sufficiency ranges vary, but they are generally based on proprietary or university recommendations. A pair of powerful options exist when using plant tissue analysis to find the top end bushels. The most common way is identifying a hidden hunger, or in other words, a nutrient deficiency that hasn't become a visual symptom. Growers and their consultants should work to identify these hungers before the damage of visual nutrient deficiencies are displayed.
Growers can also use tissue analysis to troubleshoot problem areas. Growers should pull tissue samples from the good areas of the crop to then compare and contrast the results with that of a sample from the bad area of the crop, which in turn will help growers determine the cause for poor plant performance.
The third step and analysis tool to help growers achieve the most from each unit of nitrogen applied is nitrate analysis. Samples can be pulled for nitrate analysis prior to planting or prior to side dressing. The Pre-Plant Nitrate Test (PPNT) requires pulling soil samples at 0-12" depth and 12-24" depth.
These samples are analyzed separately for their nitrate content, determining the total amount of nitrogen carried over from the year prior. Growers can adjust their rates based on this carry over determination. A grower's nitrogen application rates can also be fine-tuned after planting by using the Pre-Sidedress Nitrate (PSNT) test. The samples for this test are pulled to a twelve-inch depth after planting and prior to side dressing.
The results will quantify how much nitrate is in the soil. A table that relates nitrate levels to application rates is then used to determine application rates.
Quality analyses are one way to assess and establish crop needs for optimum performance. However, an analysis loses some value without the complementary boots on the ground to collect and interpret the results. Growers are the first line of caretakers when shooting for the next bushel as they are the key to performing quality work and inside knowledge. And in today's complex world of crop production, a grower is never alone. Analysis interpretations and guidance for growers can come in countless forms. University and extension, ag retailers, seed consultants, peer groups, and web applications are just a handful of the resources available in today's information age. A grower should count on a few of these resources to get an outside perspective and expert insights on their crop management scheme.
Making use of simple and effective tools can be key for growers to maximize yield and profitability in 2018. In a mere six months, the 2018 harvest will kick-off in the Midwest. The yield data at that time will be a partial reflection of how well management tools were put to work – regardless of the growing conditions. Growers should be willing to explore new or new-to-them tools and get their boots muddy to take a hard look at their fields. In 2018 especially, they should look to their trusted advisors and lean on them as they grow together.

QALAT, Afghanistan – Villagers in southern Afghanistan said Thursday that U.S. airstrikes during operations against militants this week killed civilians and wounded others, including an infant. A U.S. service member was killed in the east — the sixth American fatality in a week.
Zabul province (search) Gov. Ali Khail said U.S.-led coalition forces had "made a mistake" during recent operations in the province, but gave no details.
The U.S. military denied any civilians had been in the area of the Day Chopan (search) district where the fighting had taken place on Monday. The military said earlier that 18 suspected insurgents and one U.S. service member were killed in the fighting.
Another U.S. service member was killed Thursday when suspected insurgents ambushed a group of U.S. military engineers near a road construction project in Paktika province (search). Another service member was wounded, the military said in a statement.
The service member was the sixth to be killed since last Thursday, when three U.S. troops were killed in military operations in eastern Afghanistan. One U.S. troop also died Tuesday in a roadside bomb.
More than 170 American forces have died in and around the country since Operation Enduring Freedom (search) began in late 2001 to oust the hard-line Taliban regime.
Two villagers spoke to The Associated Press about the Zabul bombing at a hospital in the provincial capital, Qalat, a few hours drive from their home village of Rauf, which they said had been pounded by American forces on Monday night and early Tuesday.
Bibi's 20-year-old daughter Najiba Bibi and 6-week-old grandson were being treated at the hospital for injuries to their hands and legs, which she said had been struck by pieces of brick during the bombing. Both the woman and boy were bandaged.
Bibi claimed her 55-year-old brother, Abdul Shakor, and his wife were killed along with a 16-year-old boy named Matiullah.
A relative who brought the injured to the hospital, Abdul Halim, 35, said his neighbor's house had been bombed, killing a man who lived there.
Also, one woman from the village died at a hospital in neighboring Kandahar province after arriving there with two other injured women on Wednesday, a doctor at the hospital, Mohammed Hashil, told AP by phone.
U.S. military spokeswoman, Lt. Cindy Moore, however, said intelligence indicated no civilian casualties had occurred.
"My understanding is that our intelligence shows no civilians in this area. It was a remote area. The targets were in an open area. We were firing back ... this is possibly propaganda press. We don't have any assessment of any civilians in this area," she told AP.
The U.S. military reported earlier that the fighting in Day Chopan was sparked when a U.S. and Afghan patrol came under fire from militants using small arms and rocket-propelled grenades and that coalition aircraft had joined the battle.
Afghan officials and human rights groups repeatedly have complained about civilian casualties in U.S.-led military operations, saying heavy-handed tactics could stoke sympathy for militants who have maintained a stubborn insurgency since the fall of the hard-line Taliban regime.
American commanders insist they modify their operations to try to avoid hurting civilians and accuse militants of using civilians for protection.
Sporadic militant attacks across the country have deepened concerns over security ahead of key legislative elections set for Sept. 18. The vote represents the country's next step toward democracy after two decades of war and civil strife.
Meanwhile, one suspected Taliban guerrilla was killed and seven others arrested by Afghan forces on Wednesday in eastern Paktika province, said Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammed Saher Azimi.
Two other alleged insurgents were arrested during a separate Afghan operation in neighboring Ghazni province (search) Wednesday, he told reporters Thursday.
Azimi also said an accidental explosion at an airport in the southern city of Kandahar (search) on Thursday set three Afghan military trucks and some tents on fire, but declined to give details.


Universidade de Évora promove curso durante o verão onde a prática é o principal elemento da formação dos 24 alunos envolvidos.
Today's top-end combines are at the limits in terms of width and height, but not length - an area that Massey Ferguson is clearly looking to exploit.
Providing a glimpse of what big combines could look like in 2030, this futuristic design comes from Coventry University student Henry George Parnell.
Supporting a massive 60ft (18.29m) header and offering a whopping 11.4sq m of threshing area, it has a target weight of 22t. Power comes from a 700hp engine and all eight wheels also have their own 65hp electric motors.
The 18,000-litre grain tank is located behind the articulation point. Hydraulic rams will allow operators looking for even more capacity to push out the sides by a metre. The tank then holds 24,000 litres.
Four axles help to spread the load and even though it is 12m long, the combine can still be legally driven on the road.
