Meets TTH 3:30PM-5:00PM WAG 420
PHL 610QB • Probs Of Knowledge & Valuation
The aim of this semester is to introduce topics in epistemology and metaphysics, initially through the works of two major philosophers, Ren� Descartes (f. 1640) and David Hume (f. 1745). They will serve to introduce two main themes: the nature of knowledge and skepticism; and the nature of the human mind and action.
Descartes is known for two highly influential ideas. His skepticism arises from his reflection that we might be deceived by an "evil demon" who makes it seem as if our ordinary world exists whereas in reality there is nothing. Although Descartes hoped to defuse skepticism, it has lived on, inspiring not only generations of philosophers, but also leaving its mark in such movies as Matrix and Solaris.
Descartes' dualism is his view that mind and body are entirely distinct. This view has been supported by religious thinkers, by many philosophers impressed by the distinctive character of consciousness, and by some defenders of free will.
Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is famous for supposedly arguing for a form of skepticism that Descartes did not explicitly consider: skepticism about whether the future will resemble the past. His discussion of this issue is closely intertwined with a remarkable theory of causation, a theory which led him to hold that an action can be free, and so can merit praise or blame, even though it is causally determined. We will also discuss some aspects of Hume's philosophy of religion, notably his section on miracles, and his presentation of the problem of evil.

Tokyo Gakugei University, Japan
Tokyo, Japan (Exchange Program) (Outgoing Program)
Education, Japanese
BSU Exchange with Tokyo Gakugei University
Tokyo Gakugei University (TGU) is a national university founded in 1949 as a teacher-training university. TGU is a home for over 5,000 students including more than 200 international students from approximately 30 countries/regions.
While exchange students from more than 50 TGU partner universities in approximately 20 countries/regions are able to take undergraduate and master's degree (if they meet requirements) courses, the following courses are most suitable for international students: Japanese Language Courses, Understanding Japan Courses, and Multicultural Co-learning Studies Courses.
Koganei campus of TGU (Koganei-shi, Tokyo, Japan)
Tokyo is the capital of Japan, the center of the Greater Tokyo Area, and the largest metropolitan area in the world. Because of this, there are many forms of culture and entertainment available, as well as access to transportation to many of the other points of interest in the surrounding area. Tokyo, as the center of the Greater Tokyo Area, is Japan's largest domestic and international hub for rail, ground, and air transportation.
Geographically, Koganei lies approximately at the center of Tokyo, and is located about 20 kilometers west of Shinjuku, where Tokyo Metropolitan Government has its headquarters. It is flanked on the north and the south by two large parks. To the north is Koganei Park, which includes the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum, a branch of the Edo-Tokyo Museum located in Ryōgoku, Tokyo. To the south is Nogawa Park and Tama Cemetery, two of the largest green areas in Tokyo.
The former city of Tokyo and the majority of mainland Tokyo lie in the humid subtropical climate zone with hot humid summers and generally mild winters with cool spells. The region, like much of Japan, experiences a one-month seasonal lag, with the warmest month being August and the coolest month being January.
Fall: Early October – Mid February
Spring: Early April – Early August
Academic Year: Early October – Early August
Students can take any courses including undergraduate and graduate program courses. Depending on their Japanese language proficiency, students can focus on taking Japanese language courses only.
Enrollment from either Spring Semester or Autumn Semester is accepted. Duration should be one semester or two semesters.
* Japanese language requirement: JLPT N4 / CEFR A2 or more is desirable.
All exchange students are offered to stay in the Hitotsubashi University International Student Dormitory in Kodaira where Japanese and international students of 4 universities are living together; Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo Gakugei University, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, and The University of Electro-Communications. This Hitotsubashi Dormitory is around 30 minutes' walk or 10 minutes by bike from TGU's Koganei campus.
All students attending Tokyo Gakugei pay Ball State tuition and student fees. Tuition and fee rates are based on residency.
Students must be at least sophomore status

Q: JavaFX How to get all values of one column from TableView? I would like to get all data of one column from my TableView after Button click.
I found this code
    TablePosition pos = table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedCells().get(0);
int row = pos.getRow();

// Item here is the table view type:
Item item = table.getItems().get(row);

TableColumn col = pos.getTableColumn();

// this gives the value in the selected cell:
String data = (String) col.getCellObservableValue(item).getValue();

But this is code for selected cell and i have button and all cells of one column.
Can you help me pls?
Thankyou.

A: Just do the same thing for all elements of table.getItems():
TableColumn<MyDataType, String> column = ... ; // column you want

List<String> columnData = new ArrayList<>();
for (MyDataType item : table.getItems()) {
    columnData.add(col.getCellObservableValue(item).getValue());
}

where MyDataType is the data type of the TableView.

The Count of Cagliostro (German: Der Graf von Cagliostro) is a 1920 Austrian silent horror film directed and co-written by Reinhold Schünzel and starring Schünzel, Anita Berber and Conrad Veidt.[1] It depicts the life of the eighteenth century Italian mesmerist and occultist Alessandro Cagliostro. The film's art direction was by Oscar Werndorff and Carl Hoffmann handled the cinematography. Some sources list this film as a German production. It is today considered a lost film, and little is known about it.[2] It is listed simply as Cagliostro in some film references.
Director Schuenzel cast himself in the starring role, and hired Conrad Veidt to merely play a minister in the film, when Veidt was much better suited at the time for the lead. Schuenzel went on to become a noted actor in later years, even appearing in American-made films such as Dreagonwyck and Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious (both 1946).[3] Cameraman Carl Hoffmann went on to work for Fritz Lang and F.W. Murnau, before becoming a director himself in 1928.[4]

I have some references on Voice Procedure, specifically FSPB Part 1 No. 4 dated 1944 as well as A BACKWARDS GLANCE: THE PERSONAL STORY OF AN INFANTRY SIGNALLER IN THE CALGARY HIGHLANDERS IN WORLD WAR TWO.
I have some specific questions about VP if anyone can help, with the 1944-45 period in mind.
Did the "niner" call signs exist as such back then as well?
I am interested in simulating radio traffic for a display regarding an infantry company headquarters in the 1944-45 period and would like to get a historically accurate "script".
There were considerably fewer radios in use in a battalion then; the 38 set could be used at the platoon level but I get the feeling it very often wasn't, and comms was achieved via runner or possibly by land line in defended areas. Did the CSM, CQMS have call signs then?
Calling and receiving stations also used the call sign of the sender, if I am not mistaken, and the company call sign would be changed daily to a one or two word code, again, is that correct? ie "A" Company would be Mike One, "B" Company Mike Two, Battalion HQ would be Mike, etc.
Also, if anyone has a diagram of a WWII era battalion radio net, I'd be grateful for a scan or description.
Mike, I have a 1952 edition of Signal Training (All Arms); Pamphlet No. 7; Procedure for Radio Telephony. Let me knoiw if you can't find an earlier source.
I think you need to return that stolen property immediately, Mister!
I don't imagine scanning it would be economical of your time unless you have a high speed scanner and can photocopy the manual easily.
I'd be interested in seeing it either way, even if only to outline Korean War era procedures on my website vice WW II if it turns out they are different.
Don't imagine the manual is up for sale?
In between trips south I will try to find my copy of Radio Telephony Procedure for the Canadian Army, circa 43/44. I'll contact you then & try to get you a copy. The 19 set was the most common "portable"
in the CA at that time.
Thanks, I appreciate that. I think you mean the 18 set; the 19 set was a vehicle mount. I just built a mockup 18 set for our display. The 38 set was more portable, but less common.
I threw in the 19 as a portable because of pictures in Dad's Arty Rgt history book. He started the 2nd big scheme in Arty & went through several remusters (deleted in records). There is several pix of the "portable" version of the 19 on a sled. The other is on a skid being grunted. Not my idea of fun!
I also remember references to the portable from some of the vets that trained me. The batts for the C42's were around a 100 pounds & the 42 was about the same weight so it is a really scary platoon thing to grunt. Got rid of my 19 set a couple of years ago instead of mounting it in the deuce.

Published information indicates that during the Soviet period the sand cat was largely distributed in the Takhta-Kupyr located in the western periphery of the desert.
Several encounters were also reported from the Ustyurt Plateau in northern Uzbekistan. Sabilaev (1962) observed a sand cat near a chink. Gromov et al. (1963) reported sightings of sand cats on the western shore of the Aral Sea and farther north up to the sands of Sam and Asmantay-Matay in Kazakhstan. Pavlaniyazov (1974) observed a cat on the plateau's gypsum plain, and Lesnyak (1984) sighted a cat in an isolated sand area.
In southern Uzbekistan, sand cats were sighted in the west and north-east of Bukhara, in the Surkhandarya Province in the Kattakum sands (Bobrinskiy et al. 1944, Gromov et al. 1963, Geptner and Sludskii 1972, Pavlaniyazov 1974, Lesnyak et al. 1984) and in the Dzharkurgan sands (Geptner and Sludskii 1972).
In recent years, only a few individual specimens were encountered. Nuridzhanov (pers. comm.) reported sand cat footprints in the central Kyzylkum desert: near the village of Shukyrkak in 2006, in the Yamankumah Sands near the village of Aktakyr in 2011, and near the Karatuha well on 10 August 2013. Burnside (pers. comm.) photographed a sand cat in the Bukhara Province near the village of Kalata in April 2013 (see photos here).
The sand cat has never been included in the Red Book of the Uzbek SSR (1983) and subsequent editions of the Red Book of Uzbekistan (2003, 2006, 2009) as the cat was not considered rare in the country. Between 1960 and 1980, about 1,000 sand cats were killed annually in Uzbekistan for the fur trade though for hunting them it was necessary to travel to remote regions (Geptner and Sludskii 1972).
At present the status of the sand cat in Uzbekistan is unknown, and ecological aspects have not been studied. With the growth of the human population desert areas are increasingly used for building roads, cultivating crops, and livestock grazing. Local people use saxaul Haloxylon ammodendron, chingil Halimodendron halodendron and other shrubs as fuel and for feeding livestock. This leads to denudation of sandy areas, which has a negative impact upon their biodiversity, and areas suitable for sand cats are decreasing. Poaching of sand cats has not been recorded.

From Treccani's vocabulary
abat-jour ‹abà ˇ∫ùur› s. m., fr. (propr. «smorza-luce»). – 1. Paralume. 2. Lampada con paralume, e in partic. lampada da comodino. In Italia, è stato usato talvolta anche al femm.: la luce celeste della abat-jour (Pratolini).
FontanaArte is synonymous with quality, with the know-how of fine "Made in Italy" craftsmanship, with a history of iconic creations with a timeless design. Established in 1881 by Luigi Fontana in Via Bugatti in Milan, the company was originally a glass and crystal workshop.
In the years leading up to 1931, a date that coincides with the appointment of Gio Ponti as artistic director, FontanaArte establishes itself as a leading producer of glass objects, creating some of the most well-known items in its collection such as the 0024 pendant lamp, the Bilia and the Pirellina, all of which were designed by Ponti himself. The Milan-based factory has been striving to combine tradition and innovation right from the outset. With the arrival of the great master of design, Pietro Chiesa, the company's creativity is given a major boost, especially in the production of furnishing accessories such as the Fontana Curved Table, the Cartoccio vase and the Luminator floor lamp. In the 1950s, under the artistic direction of Max Ingrand, FontanaArte opens up to industrial production after 20 years of limited production, but continues to maintain its strong craftsmanship tradition.
The iconic Fontana table lamp, designed in this period, is still one of the most sought-after pieces in the catalogue, which has been enriched over the years with objects characterised by a delicate, sophisticated look and geometric lines, as well as sculptures that are true works of art capable of imbuing any room with timeless character.
In the 1980s, led by the famous Gae Aulenti, the company experiences a strong urge to modernise its style, offering products such as the Table with Wheels, inspired by the industrial workspace. Reading the history of FontanaArte is like reading some of the most important chapters in the history of national and international design, an evolution of style and taste which, for more than 80 years, has always been in step with the times, making it a leading brand in the sector.

New Mom Forging Forward Through Unexpected Tragedy
Katie and Alex Woltkamp shortly following the birth of their newborn daughter, Bren Alexandra Woltkamp on May 12, 2017. Seven short days later, Alex, 26 passed away unexpectedly. Photo Contributed
The past 13 months have held much change for Katie Woltkamp. To summarize her life from 2016 to present day as a rollercoaster ride would seem more than fitting.
Two of her three recently acquired titles came as no surprise. The title of "newlywed" as she exchanged "I Do's" with her best friend and love of her life, Alex Woltkamp on April 30, 2016. One year and 12 days later, the newlyweds welcomed the second title of parents, as they celebrated the birth of their daughter Bren Alexandra Woltkamp on May 12 of this year.
Katie Woltkamp, however, was not expecting nor prepared for the title which would find her seven short days later as she nursed her newborn in the couple's Oakdale home – widow.
On Friday, May 19 at the much too young age of 26, Alex Woltkamp passed away unexpectedly at Stanford Medical Center.
The 2008 Oakdale High School alum first met his wife Katie through a mutual friend in 2013, some 10 years after having a heart transplant at the age of 12.
"I feel like you can't help who you connect with," Katie said of her attraction and unmistakable connection with her late husband from day one.
"I never really cared," she added of learning of his transplant.
Noting that Alex led a pretty typical life, which included regular check-ups, she said his overall health was good.
"I just really felt like we just got along so well and this was just different," she said. "I know it sounds cliché', but he really was my best friend. I don't have any bad memories with Alex, we really enjoyed each other."
In the fall of 2016, shortly after learning of their pregnancy, the transplant recipient began experiencing complications, which seemed routine to the couple and not concerning. In November 2016 Alex had heart valve surgery, which resulted in short term disability from October 2016 to April 2017. In April he returned to his mechanic's job in Modesto.
Four short weeks later, during his follow-up appointment at Stanford, the couple learned he would need to be readmitted due to a concern with fluid retention. Katie was 39 weeks pregnant at the time.
"I was nervous, but I was hopeful that everything would go smooth," Katie said of her husband being admitted on May 11 of this year. "I tried to be strong and tried not to stress about it too much. Everything was going really smooth. I don't think either of us was really concerned."
As luck would have it, Friday, May 12 Bren was ready and mom went into labor. Alex's team of doctors felt it was safe for him to return to the Valley for the delivery of his daughter and requested he return to the hospital the following week after the family spent time bonding.
"Since he was there for observation, leaving did not seem to be a problem," Katie said. "He was able to leave and check himself back in."
Tuesday, May 16 he left his Oakdale home and returned to Stanford to get well. Friday, May 19 following two routine phone/Facetime calls with his girls back home, Alex passed away.
Katie shared that shortly after concluding her final call with her husband, she received a call from his doctor stating she should come to the hospital. Alex had "coded" and was being "hooked up to the bypass machine."
"I was still not concerned," she said, noting that it all seemed routine and not an emergency situation.
Figuring she and Bren would be in the Bay for an extended period of time, Katie stated she called her mom to come and get her and packed for a month.
But that never transpired.
As Katie loaded the car with mom and baby, she received a second call from the doctor; Alex was gone.
"I think his doctor was just as in shock as we were," she shared. "It hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm not a super emotional person, but having her (Bren) and she was literally seven days old.
"That was the worst drive ever," she said of the trip upon learning the news. "It was terrible. It was horrible. It took so long to get there."
Less than two weeks later, the widow shared it still doesn't seem real or possible, yet it is.
"I was expecting him to be in the hospital like through another week at least," she said. "It (emotions) comes in waves. I always knew we'd have a tough road, but I didn't expect this."
Yet amidst it all, the sun has shone through for the mother and newborn. Shortly after receiving the call a family member offered to set up a Go Fund Me to help cover expenses and the like.
"It's been unreal to be honest," she said. "The amount of support. I think it hit the goal in like two to three days. It's been crazy."
The roller coaster ride, in many ways, has continued.
"It's been really hard, especially with everyone being so supportive," she continued. "There's been so many days when I just want to pick up the phone and tell Alex how much everybody has been stepping up to the plate. He was so loved by so many people. We are so loved."
Aside from the heartache and the community kindness, Katie is most grateful for the days the three were able to spend as a family following the birth of their baby. Precious memories and photos now cherished for a lifetime.
"It was great to have him there and watch him. He was great with her," Katie said. "I'm just so thankful we at least had that weekend together."
As for day in and day out, post the birth of Bren and passing of Alex, she takes it a day at a time.
"I've really had to be on task mode," she said of the past 10 days. "I'm kind of at that numb stage. I realize we're planning this (funeral services), but it doesn't necessarily feel like I'm planning it for my husband.
"He really wanted to be the best dad ever," she reflected, "and even though he was only able to do that a couple of days … he was."
A viewing for Alex Woltkamp will be hosted on Thursday, June 1 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Franklin and Downs. Graveside service will be conducted on Friday, June 2 at 9:30 a.m. at Lakewood Cemetery, and a Celebration of Life service will be hosted at Elks Lodge Modesto from noon to 4 p.m. that same day.
Persons interested in offering a donation to the family may do so by visiting Alex Woltkamp Memorial Fund on the Go Fund Me website.

Home West African News Nigeria News Peter Obi Slams Soludo Over Recent Article
Peter Obi Slams Soludo Over Recent Article
Wale Adebayo
Former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi has hit back at ex-CBN Governor Charles Soludo, who said that Obi built no signature project in Anambra State during his tenure. He described the former governorship aspirant as a man haunted by his past.
Obi's reaction came through his Media Assistant, Valentine Obienyem. He described the article by Professor Charles Soludo as full of evidence of one who is still nursing deep hatred against those he wrongly assumed were responsible for not renewing his appointment as the Governor of the Central Bank and those that thwarted his move towards becoming the Governor of Anambra State last year.
While he agreed with some of the points raised by the former CBN boss, Obi regretted that the aim of the write-up was not to instruct or contribute to positive national discourse, but to hit back at those he is nursing secret grudges against.
"Talking about signature project, Obi has them in abundance. He built over 30 bridges, built the State Secretariat, built the teaching hospital, built the permanent site of the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu University, rebuilt Iyienu, Borromeo hospitals, Holy Rosary and St Joseph hospitals; and Our Lady of Lourdes among many hospitals with signature structures dotting them," Obienyem stated.
"Beyond the foregoing, Soludo should be told that Obi did much more in areas that are far more important than mere structures. He returned schools to the Church and committed billions that could build any form of signature project of Soludo's imagination. Because of this, Anambra State is today the number one in external examinations in the country.
"Moreover, he changed the psyche of the people of the State and removed Anambra State from her pariah status to one of the exemplary States in the country," Obienyem said. He recalled how Soludo in 2013, said Obi was the foundation upon which the new Anambra State was built and commended him for changing the fortunes of the state. He therefore wondered why Soludo would just turn around and declare that the tragedy of Obi's tenure was that he built no signature project.
Obienyem described as surprising, the fact that a renowned economist such as Soludo, who in the same write up, prided himself of saving $45 billion in the nation's external reserves when he was Governor of CBN, in the same article, should condemn Obi for saving money for Anambra State.
"When he said he saved $45bn, does it mean that at that time Nigeria's problems were over? Now oil price is falling and state's allocation are bound to fall, Soludo should be told that the money Obi saved will be used to cushion the effect, among others reasons for states to save at all times. He also talked about clearing Nigerian debts without acknowledging that the architect of it is Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala who is still part of Jonathan's Government".
Obienyem expressed regret over how unstable Soludo has become in his opinions.

Juan José de la Garza Galván (Cruillas, Tamaulipas, 6 de mayo de 1826 - Ciudad de México, 16 de octubre de 1893), fue un jurista, militar y político mexicano de ideología liberal. Fue gobernador de Tamaulipas en 8 ocasiones.

Estudios

Fue hijo de Juan B. de la Garza y de María Eusebia Galván. Realizó sus primeros estudios en Soto la Marina y en Ciudad Victoria. Se trasladó a la Ciudad de México, en donde ingresó al Seminario de México y al Colegio de San Ildefonso obteniendo el título de abogado en 1852.

Vida política y militar

El 20 de noviembre de 1852 fue nombrado gobernador provisional del Estado de Tamaulipas, cuando una asamblea pública desconoció, por motivos de denuncias en los comicios, al gobierno de Jesús Cárdenas. El 13 de julio de 1854 se manifestó en favor del Plan de Ayutla el cual terminó con la dictadura de Antonio López de Santa Anna. Participó en la defensa de Ciudad Victoria, pero fue derrotado. Se exilió a los Estados Unidos y se reintegró a las fuerzas liberales en la frontera norte del territorio tamaulipeco, reuniéndose con Melchor Ocampo, Ponciano Arriaga, Manuel Gómez y José María Mata. Desde julio de 1855, De la Garza se había unido al Plan de Monterrey convocado por el gobernador de Nuevo León, Santiago Vidaurri, pero la unión finalizó el 19 de noviembre de 1855. Por disposición del Ministerio de Guerra, al terminar la Revolución de Ayutla se reintegró a su puesto de gobernador y tomó el mando militar y político de Tamaulipas.

En 1856 por órdenes de Ignacio Comonfort, participó en los combates del conflicto fronterizo en los estados de Nuevo León y Coahuila, los cuales se habían sido anexados como una sola entidad por Santiago Vidaurri, formando la República de la Sierra Madre al no reconocer al gobierno federal. De la Garza y el general Vicente Rosas Landa, confrontaron a las fuerzas de Vidaurri, una vez tomada la plaza de Monterrey, pactaron con Vidaurri el sometimiento a la autoridad federal.

Fue reelecto como gobernador, ejerció el cargo del 5 de diciembre de 1857 al 12 de marzo de 1858, fecha en la que viajó hacia Veracruz para unirse a la defensa del gobierno de Benito Juárez durante la Guerra de Reforma. Fue Primer Magistrado de la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación del 16 de abril de 1860 al 1 de agosto de 1861, sustituyendo a Santos Degollado. Fue también secretario de Gobernación de septiembre a diciembre de 1861, sustituyendo a Manuel María de Zamacona.

En 1863, durante la Segunda Intervención Francesa en México fue nombrado general en jefe del Ejército Republicano. Tras la caída del Segundo Imperio Mexicano y con la República restaurada, regresó a Tamaulipas, siendo nuevamente electo gobernador del Estado. Su último período como gobernador lo ejerció del 1 de agosto de 1868 al 1 de diciembre de 1869, fecha en la que renunció después del asesinato de sus hermanos Jesús y Zeferino, para acabar así, con una sublevación de oposición y evitando disensiones políticas optó por retirarse a Nuevo León. Francisco L. de Saldaña fue su sucesor interino, y más tarde el general Servando Canales quien ejerció el puesto de 1870 a 1876.  De la Garza por su parte, se trasladó a la Ciudad de México y fue nombrado nuevamente, ministro de la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación, fue también, ministro de la Corte de Justicia Militar.

Life table says divorce rate is 52.7%
June 8, 2016 March 11, 2019 Categories Me @ workdemography, divorce, methods, open science18 Comments on Life table says divorce rate is 52.718
After the eternal bliss, there are two ways out of marriage: divorce or death.
I have posted my code and calculations for divorce rates using the 2010-2012 American Community Survey as an Open Science Framework project. The files there should be enough to get you started if you want to make multiple-decrement life tables for divorce or other things.
Because the American Community survey records year of marriage, and divorce and widowhood, it's perfectly set up for a multiple-decrement life table approach. A multiple-decrement life table uses the rate of each of two exits for each year of the original state (in this case marriage), to project the probability of either exit happening at or after a given year of marriage. It's a projection of current rates, not a prediction of what will happen. So, if you write a headline that says, "your chance of divorce if you marry today is 52.7%," that would be too strong, because it doesn't take into account that the world might change. Also, people are different.
The divorce rate of 52.7% can accurately be described like this: "If current divorce and widowhood rates remain unchanged, 52.7% of today's marriages would end in divorce before widowhood." Here is a figure showing the probability of divorce at or after each year of the model:
So there's 52.7% up at year 0. Marriages that make it to year 15 have a 30% chance of eventually divorcing, and so on.
Because the ACS doesn't record anything about the spouses of divorce or widowed people, I don't know who was married to whom, such as age, education, race-ethnicity, or even the sex of the spouse. So the estimates differ by sex as well as other characteristics. I estimated a bunch of them in the spreadsheet file on the OSF site, but here are the bottom lines, showing, for example, that second or higher-order marriages have a 58.5% projected divorce rate and Blacks have a 64.2% divorce rate, compared with 52.9% for Whites.
(The education ones should be taken with a grain of salt because education levels can change but this assumes they're static.)
Check the divorce tag for other posts and papers on divorce.
The ASA-style citation to the OSF project would be like this: Cohen, Philip N. 2016. "Multiple-Decrement Life Table Estimates of Divorce Rates." Retrieved (osf.io/zber3).

marshallmcohen says:
Shocking! I will start waiting two years before sending a wedding present, since at least then there's a 50% chance that the gift is not going down the drain, is going to a marriage that will last.
Chris Wienke says:
Well, I guess that often cited "statistic" that 41 percent of first marriages end in divorce, 60 percent of second marriages end in divorce, and 73 percent of third marriages end in divorce really is a MYTH. The gap between between first marriages ending in divorce and higher order marriages is much smaller, especially for men (if current rates remain unchanged).
Thanks for doing this
The thing that surprises me is that all the percentages are almost the same except:
1. Black marriages, men or women (62.9%+)
2. Degree (43)
Even HS marriages are within a few %.
Now, is there a way to modify the code to include income? I am not even able to connect to source code, with an error,
"Turn on TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 in Advanced settings and try connecting to https://osf.io again. If this error persists, it is possible that this site uses an unsupported protocol or cipher suite such as RC4 "
3rdMoment says:
I thought there were large cohort differences, as shown in table 1 here:
Click to access Trends%20in%20Marital%20Stability.pdf
Are you just ignoring cohort differences, or do you have evidence they have become less important?
It is a totally different method with different data. They are following cohorts over time, reflecting historical events that may or may not ever be repeated. I am analyzing only divorces that occurred in a single year, and projecting that forward as if time stands still and that year repeats itself over and over. For example, I have people who married in 1980, but only in their 30th year of marriage; those married in 1981 are only analyzed in their 29th year, and so on. My method is probably better at forecasting the future, but it's hard to know.
Steven Ruggles says:
On top of that, the retrospective SIPP date used by Stevenson and Wolfers systematically understated levels of divorce. See http://users.hist.umn.edu/~ruggles/Articles/breaking_up.pdf.

Karl Pearson says:
This is the truth about divorce:
"Pollster Louis Harris has written, 'The idea that half of American marriages are doomed is one of the most specious pieces of statistical nonsense ever perpetuated in modern times.'
"It all began when the Census Bureau noted that during one year, there were 2.4 million marriages and 1.2 million divorces. Someone did the math without calculating the 54 million marriages already in existence, and presto, a ridiculous but quotable statistic was born.
"Harris concludes, 'Only one out of eight marriages will end in divorce. In any single year, only about 2 percent of existing marriages will break up.'"
That quote was wrong when he said it — in 1987.

Intravenous or IV therapy is a highly effective way to feed large quantities of vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and amino acids directly into the bloodstream for immediate nutrient absorption. Patients can get over 10 times the nutrients in one treatment as they could orally in one day.
High doses of nutrients can enhance cellular function, correct nutrient deficiencies, boost energy, balance mood, enhance the immune system and address acute and chronic infections. Using these high dosages as nutritional support can help extreme athlete recovery, detox the body and clear free radicals, and aid in general body repair and recovery from numerous health issues.
Dr. Murphy has over a dozen IV formulas and can custom blend IV treatments based on the diagnosis and specific needs of the patient.


Every year, various cultures and faiths mark the coming of spring, and with it the theme of redemption and rebirth. The Jewish people celebrate Passover, Pesach, and remember the story of their people being freed from slavery. The Christians celebrate Easter, or Pascha, and tell the story of the God-man who rose from the dead. We celebrate Ostara, which some say comes from the name Éostre, the Germanic goddess of the sunrise and fertility (who may or may not have been invented by the Venerable Bede), and we exchange knowing smiles as we recognize imagery such as eggs and rabbits proliferating. We recognize that such festivals, which are tied to the deep cycles of the earth, might change their names, but they never fully disappear.
It can be both a joyful and confusing time as we remember where we came from and where we hope to go from here. Many of us are standing in a liminal space, in the in-between where even breath comes tentatively. Here on the sharp edge between past and future, so much is uncertain, unpredictable. Sometimes winter lingers overlong and frozen slush coats unsuspecting blossoms. Sometimes just when we think we have escaped a difficult cycle, we find ourselves doubled over with longing for the very things that caused us pain.
And sometimes, we brace for the cold and damp, maybe cancel our plans, but the sun comes out anyway. Sometimes we think we will never know joy again but find within ourselves a wild rush of hope, a startling vision of life worth living. Which will it be? Darkness or light? Despair or hope? Death or life? When the tension is too much to bear, we spring forward into the unknown.
Genesis. Out of nothing, something comes into being.
Darkness recedes as light returns.
The dark moon becomes a shining crescent.
The last star shines as purple and blue fade into rose and gold.
Snow melts and swells the rushing streams.
The raging storm calms into a gentle rain.
Seeds crack open and tender shoots surge up through the soil.
Brown fields are spread with fresh blankets of green.
Bare branches are wreathed with delicate leaves.
Tightly wrapped buds unfurl into glorious bloom.
Migrating flocks return to the awakening north.
Bears lumber from their dens with fluffy cubs.
A baby takes a first breath and screams it out triumphantly.
An egg cracks and a determined chick unfolds itself.
A rooster announces the first rays of the dawn.
A snake sheds its skin, revealing newly vibrant colors.
Tadpoles wriggle into the shallows.
Caterpillars emerge from their cocoons as butterflies and take flight.
Morning silence is filled with squirrel chatter and calling birds.
Lambs bleat and frolic on the hillsides.
Dough is taken from the oven as fresh-baked bread.
The eight-spoked wheel turns again.
The sun processes with Taurus, the heavenly bull.
The Phoenix bursts into flames and is reborn from the ashes.
The scarab pushes its bundle as Ra pushes the sun into the sky.
Osiris is gathered from all the provinces and made whole again.
Persephone emerges from the realm of Hades, and Demeter rejoices.
The hare jumps into the fire—and bursts out into the space beyond.
The Green Man lifts his flute and calls the wild creatures to dance.
The Maiden walks the earth, and life springs up in her wake.
I began writing this ritual with a single image: The hare jumps into the flames and bursts out into the space beyond. This image of a desperate animal choosing a chance at freedom, however painful, over certain death holds a special resonance for me—and not merely because my Chinese zodiac symbol is the fire rabbit. I thought of Terry Pratchett's I Shall Wear Midnight, in which Tiffany Aching has to confront the Cunning Man, the spirit of a witch hunter who inspires others to take up his hateful cause. "The hare runs into the fire. The hare runs into the fire. The fire, it takes her, she is not burned. The fire, it takes her, she is not burned. The hare runs into the fire. The fire, it loves her, she is free…" I thought about the fact that five years ago this spring, I left the faith I was raised and trained in, the faith I loved that was burning me alive. I thought about how I ran for my life, trying to outrace the memories, the forces that wanted me to obediently return to deny my power, sacrifice my identity, die to myself. Wheeling around, I found myself surrounded and so I leapt—into a new career, a new faith, a new life. Now, surrounded by a chosen family of friends I feel I have known for many lifetimes, I turn from the ash-charred field of the past and look out at the great green wonder of whatever is coming next.


College and university professors have satisfying careers because they work in an intellectually stimulating environment and with people who want to learn more about the world around them. Professors need to have many qualities and skills such as excellent teaching abilities, inquisitive minds, a love of learning, and a willingness to dedicate their lives to their profession.
Science professors need to have a great deal of education. A bachelor's degree (bachelor of science or bachelor of arts) is earned after completing a minimum of four years of college. A master's degree can be earned in about two years of study. To teach in a college or university, the minimum requirement is a doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in one of the sciences, such as biology, chemistry, or geology. The doctorate is primarily a research degree, which takes three to five years to complete, depending on the topic which is chosen for research. The research topics in science are sharply focused and require experimental study in the field or a laboratory on a subject that has previously never been explored.
In addition to these three degrees, it is common for professors to have post-doctoral ("post-doc") experience doing research full time for one or more years before they are accepted for a position as a professor.
A professor may teach a variety of courses, which is for many the most exciting part of this career. Usually professors teach two to four courses per semester. Each course requires a great deal of preparation by reading much material about the subject, especially new discoveries, and designing ways to teach the materials so that the students understand it well. Professors are expected to advise students about courses and careers available to them. Faculty members are required to conduct research and publish the results in journals. However, not everything that is written by a faculty member gets published in a journal.
Faculty members make decisions on a wide variety of subjects, such as the curriculum, the selection of new faculty members, the cultural events on the campus, the supervision of athletic programs, and many more topics. Often, faculty members provide service to their professional organizations and to the community by serving on boards and councils.
Students can prepare themselves to be a professor by doing extremely well in school, reading and studying a great deal, and getting to know professors and their work.


I think it's important to remember that the Major League Baseball Players Association has always wanted a market-based system. And, markets change. Particularly when the institution changes those markets. We had a lot of change in the game. People think about players differently. They analyze players differently. They negotiate differently. Agents negotiate differently. … I do not know that payroll is a good measure for how much a team is trying or how successful that team is going to be.
Players' eyes do not deceive them, nor do fans. As players report to training and see respected veterans and valued teammates on the sidelines, they are rightfully frustrated by a two-year attack on free agency. Players commit to compete every pitch of every at bat, and every inning of every game. Yet we are operating in an environment in which an increasing number of clubs appear to make little effort to improve their rosters, compete for the championship or justify the price of a ticket.
There is obviously some underlying disagreement as to just what it means for a team to be "trying" in this day and age. There's no denying Manfred's point that the market is shifting, though of course it's anything but an unregulated arena. Teams are responding to the incentives established in the collective bargaining process, and doing so with ever more attention to economic rationality. Setting up a potentially expansive contention window in efficiently, though, often means sacrificing near-term improvements for longer-term flexibility. And there is surely a reasonable argument to be made that many teams aren't "trying" – at least, aren't doing so as much as might be preferable from the perspective of creating a competitive and entertaining product.
any event, this is just the latest exchange of words in the still-evolving battle over team spending on player contracts. Clark indicated that the players are still amenable to engaging in talks regarding several proposed rule changes, although the league's position seems to be that the union's efforts should not be entertained until it's time to discuss a new collective bargaining agreement. For the time being, then, both sides are jockeying for position in the realms of both public perception and their own direct constituencies.

Ninja-style training has been growing in popularity in Australia longer than you might think.
The success of Australian Ninja Warrior is guaranteed to rocket ninja-style training into the mainstream, but the fitness trend has been rising here longer than you might think.
According to David Ravi, a Ninja Warrior competitor from Western Australia, there have been small communities quietly building their ninja fitness around the country for years.
But except for a handful of backyard obstacle courses, for a long time there wasn't really anywhere for these people to come together to work on their diverse skills — which inspired Ravi to found Perth's Ninja Academy.
The Ninja Academy, which offers parkour, bouldering and gymnastics coaching as well as the obstacle course, has become probably the best known ninja-style training facility in Australia.
Like most guys, Ravi started out throwing weights around the gym and "looking at Bodybuilder.com" as a teenager. After growing restless with that, he branched out into "parkour, rock climbing, martial arts, and heaps of other weird stuff" based on his love American Ninja Warrior (which debuted in 2009) and its Japanese progenitor Sasuke (1997).
According to Ravi, ninja training (or, to be more specific, "mixed movement and obstacle training") sprang from several earlier fitness trends: functional training, which is focused on conditioning the body to everyday life rather than raw muscle or strength and in turn grew out of CrossFit, which in turn was an offshoot from classic bodybuilding.
Yet Ravi believes ninja training is less of a fitness evolution and more of a regression back to the fundamentals of human movement — it's based around the things you probably did as a kid in the playground (like hanging, climbing, jumping, swinging) that you grew out of as an adult.
And when people eventually learn their grown-up lifestyle (read: sitting at a desk all day) has "broken" their bodies, they're drawn to the Ninja Academy and ninja training.
Ravi says the benefits of learning to move freely, or rather, relearning to move freely, are as powerful for the mind as they are for the body.
The other big drawcard of ninja training is the supportive community built up around it, which Ravi believes is rooted in helping everyone learn and build skills rather than just on becoming the strongest or the fastest.
"Ninja Warrior is obviously a competition but to me it's the best example of competition," he says. "Yes, you're competing, but everyone's supporting each other and it breeds this positive culture — it's not 'I want to win and I don't want him to win'.
Australian Ninja Warrior airs on Nine on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. Catch up on every episode at 9Now.

Grace Mugabe, accused of assault in S. Africa, 'returns to Zimbabwe'
South African model Gabriella Engels has accused Zimbabwe's First Lady Grace Mugabe of beating her with an electrical extension cable at a Johannesburg hotel © AFP / Phill Magakoe
By AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE, Harare, Zimbabwe, Aug 20 – Zimbabwe's first lady Grace Mugabe, accused of assault in South Africa where she is seeking diplomatic immunity, returned home from a visit there on Sunday, public broadcaster ZBC reported.
Mugabe, who is being sought by police after allegedly attacking a 20-year-old model at a Johannesburg hotel last weekend, flew home with her husband in the early hours of Sunday morning.
"President Robert Mugabe, accompanied by the first lady … arrived on an Air Zimbabwe flight in Harare very early, the broadcaster said.
The president had flown to South Africa on Wednesday to attend a two-day regional leaders' summit in Pretoria which began on Saturday — which she had also been expected to attend.
But he appeared to have cut short his visit, skipping the second day of talks among leaders of the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
South African police had said they were on high alert to make sure that Mugabe's 52-year-old wife did not leave the country with officials reportedly weighing up whether to issue an arrest warrant.
The first lady is alleged to have assaulted Gabriella Engels with an electrical extension cable on August 13 at the hotel where the model was staying with Mugabe's two sons who have a reputation for partying.
Engels said she suffered deep cuts to her forehead and the back of her head and has opened a police case alleging assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
But Grace Mugabe has not been seen since the allegations were made and failed to appear at the Pretoria summit.

MICHAEL ALLEN HUNTER was born on October 21, 1975 to Rodney Allen and Nyla Lynn (Hefti) Hunter in Canby, Minnesota. He was baptized in Silver Lake, Minnesota in 1976. As a young boy he spent a lot of time with his Grandpa Hunter, who took him to gun training and, many times, gave him a few dollars when needed for various things. Mike loved riding his bicycle, which allowed him the opportunity to tinker on it and fix it when something broke. This was maybe just the beginning of his life-long love of fixing things! Michael graduated from Pipestone High School in 1994. He worked for Northern Auto Parts in Sioux City, Iowa. He moved to Pipestone and from 2001-2004 he worked for Pepsi.

After an accident at home, Michael died on Thursday, December 10, 2020, at the age of 45 years, one month, and 20 days.
Michael was a caring person. He had a giving nature and would give the shirt off of his back if someone needed it. His kind nature and smile will be missed by many. Mike had a big heart, he loved all of his family members. He called his Grandma every morning and both he and she treasured those calls. Michael enjoyed classic cars and driving them. He liked to take road trips, he especially loved Route 66.

The plans for these clocks came from Norm Abram's book "Mostly Shaker." I also watched a YouTube video from The New Yankee Workshop episode in which he built the clock.
One is made from red oak, the other made of walnut. I followed the plans precisely, but made one small change. I make the doors using a offset mortise and tenon Norm outlines in his program, but was not happy with the results. I remade the doors using simple half-lap joints.
The clock face was printed on cardstock from an online graphic. The clock mechanics were purchased from Hobby Lobby, and the glass and hinges came from Lowe's.
Construction and finishing time for the two was about 20 hours, as it required a bit of planing. The walnut clock was finished with six coats of Danish Oil. The oak clock was stain and three coats of polyurethane.
The walnut clock was a gift to my boss and his wife. His dad, Poppa Smith, had passed away earlier in the year and Buddy gave me the walnut his dad had in his small woodworking shop.

FPJ Legal: Supreme Court to hear PIL seeking probe into security lapses during PM Modi's Punjab visit
Supreme Court | PTI
The Supreme Court agreed to hear on Friday a plea seeking a court-monitored probe into the breach of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security while on a visit to Punjab on Wednesday, reported news agency ANI.

Senior advocate Maninder Singh mentioned the matter before the top court while terming it a serious lapse and sought a probe.
According to Bar and Bench, a Bench of Chief Justice of India NV Ramana, Justices Surya Kant, and Hima Kohli asked Singh, who was appearing for an organization, Lawyer's Voice, which has filed the plea, to serve a copy of the petition to the Punjab government and posted it for hearing on Friday.
Singh said that it was a serious lapse on the part of the Punjab government to allow PM's cavalcade to be stranded on the road causing an unacceptable security breach.
"It has to be ensured that it's not be repeated. This writ petition has to be taken up," said Singh.
"What can we do," asked the CJI.
"It cannot be repeated My Lord. We don't want this kind of to take place again. There needs to be an enquiry into the bandobast under court monitored probe," Singh said.
"We will hear tomorrow," the CJI responded.
"The overall responsibility for ensuring the safety of the Prime Minster rests with the State government and the responsibility for providing proximate security will rest with the Special Protection Group (SPG) as per the SPG Act 1988. On the contrary, what was shocking and alarming on many levels was that local Police personnel on the spot were seen to be participating with the hooligans who jeopardized the security of the Prime Minister," the plea stated.
Meanwhile, the Punjab government on Thursday constituted a two-member high level committee to conduct a "thorough probe" into lapses during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Ferozepur.
The committee, which will submit its report within three days, comprises Justice (Retd.) Mehtab Singh Gill and Principal Secretary, Home Affairs and Justice, Anurag Verma.
In a major security lapse, the prime minister's convoy was stranded on a flyover due to a blockade by protesters in Ferozepur on Wednesday. He returned from poll-bound Punjab without attending any event, including a rally.
The Union Home Ministry has directed the state government to file an immediate report, saying it did not ensure the required deployment. Home Minister Amit Shah said such dereliction of the security procedure during the prime minister's visit is totally unacceptable and accountability will be fixed.
Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi has denied any security lapse or political motive behind it and said his government is ready for an inquiry.

Towards a Kenotic Anthropology Part 1 →
I read Rémi Brague's The Legend of the Middle Ages several months ago and highly recommend it to any interested in the period. This particular section came to mind earlier this evening, and I thought that I would post it. Within it Brague discusses the sources of European culture.
It is also good to recall from where Europe drew the nourishing juices on which it grew fat. The answer is simple: they came from the outside. Europe borrowed its nourishment, first from the Greco-Roman world that preceded it, then from the world of Arabic culture that developed in parallel with it, and, finally, from the Byzantine world. (37)
He draws attention to the role of the Jews and Arabic civilization as intermediaries in the transmission of the texts that formed European culture.
In order to live by drawing from outside sources, one has to have a sense of lack and insufficiency: 'We have to accept feeling inferior.' Brague maintains that this sense of inferiority in relation to earlier and external sources characterizes the Middle Ages throughout. The very existence of the Middle Ages owed itself to the European sense of being 'no more than dwarfs perched on the shoulders' of foreign giants.
What made European culture – Hellenism and Israel – was not European, and the two cities that symbolize the two, Athens and Jerusalem, are not in Europe. For a European, studying them is not a means for appropriating one's own past, but of getting outside of oneself. (39)
For Brague, this 'getting outside of oneself' is crucial.
They worked over these acquisitions, developed them, and prolonged them. But they never forgot that what they were borrowing came from the outside, and that its source remained outside…. Thus Europe became engaged in an endless dialectic. It found its motive force in the very foreignness of what it needed to assimilate and what – since it remained outside – continued to arouse its desire. (40)
Later in the book, Brague remarks on a very significant contrast between European Christian culture and Islamic culture in this area. He speaks of Islam and Islamic civilization as a 'culture of digestion'. Once the Islamic Arabs had absorbed the learning of previous civilizations of other tongues into Arabic, the original writings no longer held any interest, but were to be abandoned like a deserted ruin.
The Islamic method of appropriation can be deployed only at the price of a denial of origin: Islamic culture claims to be an absolute beginning, and it crushes any awareness of owing something to an earlier situation, which it characterizes as the age of ignorance.
I might remark that this attitude regarding what had been handed down is not a chance occurrence. Its roots plunge deep into the very essence of Islam, the religion that has marked Arabic culture. We can find it, in fact, at the heart of the Islamic message: the books that bear witness to earlier revelations were, according to that message, falsified by the communities that had been charged with keeping them, the Jews and the Christians, but their authentic content was conserved in the Qur'an. In that way, earlier writings lose their interest, and the disappearance of their authentic contents loses its gravity. The Holy Book of Islam replaces the books that preceded it. Moreover, it does so to the extent that it incorporates those other books. (154-155)
Europe's approach, however, was radically different, an approach illustrated within the Bible itself. This approach is one of constant reception and 'inclusion' of the Other, without digestion or final assimilation.
We can see a comparable attitude regarding the Other in the Bible, the most exemplary text in European religion. For Christians, the Bible is made up of two parts, a fact that for a long time Christians have not considered strange. And yet! It is unheard of in the history of religions that the holy book of a religion contain, at its side, that of an earlier religion. Moreover, the second book, the New Testament, constitutes something like a commentary on the first. More exactly, and using the technical term of Jewish exegesis, the New Testament is like a pesher of the Old, which is to say an interpretation that applies the text to the present situation and interprets it in function of a key event, here the Passion and the Resurrection of Jesus.
We could apply this concept to many phenomena in European culture. We might even describe that culture globally as a pesher of the cultures that preceded it. It constantly tries to show that Greek thought and the Old Testament throw light on current situations, a process that in turn opens up new possibilities for interpretation. (155)
European culture is pervaded by undigested portions of the past, which, while included, are preserved against any digestion, or dissolution into Europe's own identity. On account of the 'undissolved inclusions within it' Europe's cultural 'stomach' has become akin to a 'gizzard'. Europe can 'appropriate other cultures without feeling obliged to digest them.'
It seems to me that these reflections upon European (and Christian) identity may provide an illuminating point of departure for thought about the dialectical character of Christian thought and the relationship between Christ and culture. It might also be worth questioning the way that this attitude relates to the European practice of colonialism, and the distinct character that it took. Finally, I suspect that it could provide us with a thicker and more distinctly European perspective upon such things as multiculturalism and pluralism.
