DEWDNEY, EDGAR, civil engineer, contractor, politician, office holder, and lieutenant governor; b. 5 Nov. 1835 in Bideford, England, son of Charles Dewdney and Fanny Hollingshead; m. first 28 March 1864 Jane Shaw Moir in Hope, B.C.; m. secondly September 1909 Blanche Elizabeth Plantagenet Kemeys-Tynte in Somerset, England; no children were born of either marriage; d. 8 Aug. 1916 in Victoria.
Born to a family of means, Edgar Dewdney attended school in Bideford, Tiverton, and Exeter and then went on to Cardiff, Wales, where he trained as a civil engineer. Tall and vigorous, he loved cricket, tennis, shooting, and the outdoors. In 1858 and 1859 British newspapers carried stories of the fortunes being made in the gold-fields of the Fraser valley, in the Pacific northwest, and the young Dewdney decided that this was where he would ply his trade, confident that he would return within ten years a wealthy man. He arrived in Victoria on 13 May 1859. Well connected, he bore a letter of introduction from Colonial Secretary Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton to Governor James Douglas*.
Dewdney immediately found work with Richard Clement Moody* and a contingent of Royal Engineers who were surveying the site of New Westminster, recently chosen to be the capital of the mainland colony of British Columbia. He also assisted in the construction of government buildings and in the sale of town lots. Gold continued to be discovered in various parts of the colony, and to ensure that all the profits were not siphoned off by American traders, the authorities in New Westminster undertook the construction of trails to the gold-fields through British Columbia territory. Dewdney won several of the contracts. In 1860, in partnership with Walter Moberly, he built a pack trail from Hope to the mining camps of the Similkameen valley. Later, in 1865, after gold strikes in the Kootenays, he would extend the trail to Wild Horse Creek (Wild Horse River). Using teams of Chinese labourers, native Indian packers, and discharged men of the Royal Engineers, he completed the extension in a few short months at a cost of $74,000. It became known as the Dewdney Trail and was the principal route to the interior for several years. In 1862 and 1863 he did surveying in the Cariboo country, again associated with gold-mining, and in 1866 he built trails from Lillooet and Cache Creek into nearby gold-mining areas. A year later he settled for a while near Soda Creek and tried his hand at stock raising. Becoming wealthy was still his primary ambition but it continued to elude him.
Dewdney's entry into politics was almost accidental. Without campaigning on his part, he was named in December 1868 to represent Kootenay in the colony's Legislative Council. During the council debate on union with Canada in the spring of 1870 he supported confederation but opposed responsible government, claiming his constituents did not want it. He resigned shortly afterwards to return to surveying and played no role in the final deliberations that brought British Columbia into Canada in 1871.
By the terms of union Ottawa had promised to build a transcontinental railway, and work began immediately. Dewdney was named a member of Sandford Fleming's team to survey the route. Politics beckoned once more, however, and he ran successfully for a seat in the House of Commons representing Yale in the general election of 1872. Before leaving for Ottawa he was invited to become surveyor general of British Columbia, but he declined. In parliament Dewdney supported the Conservative government of Sir John A. Macdonald*, which had brought his province into confederation on generous terms. He remained loyal to the Conservative leader after the Liberal victory in 1874 and grew increasingly critical of Alexander Mackenzie*'s government as its commitment to building the transcontinental railway weakened. For Dewdney the line was a matter of first importance. He championed the Fraser valley route with a terminus at Burrard Inlet, which would at once serve the interests of his constituents and his own speculative real estate investments. He was re-elected to parliament by acclamation in 1878. Macdonald was now back in power, and Dewdney was not only a confirmed partisan of the prime minister but a close personal friend.
By 1879 the buffalo herds had virtually disappeared from the North-West Territories and the region's substantial Indian population faced starvation. As their plight became increasingly desperate, they posed a threat to Macdonald's plan to finish the railway and fill the west with settlers. The prime minister needed a reliable man on the spot to deal with the crisis and he offered Dewdney the newly created post of Indian commissioner of the North-West Territories, at a salary of $3,200 per annum. Dewdney accepted and resigned his seat in parliament. His appointment was effective as of 30 May 1879. He was now the principal officer in the northwest for the Indian affairs branch. His general instructions were to prevent starvation by the distribution of relief, to get those Indians who had not already done so to settle on their reserves and take up agriculture, and to persuade the Sioux refugees led by Sitting Bull [Tatanka I-yotank*] to leave Canada.
Dewdney set out immediately for the west and on 26 June arrived at Fort Walsh (Sask.), the North-West Mounted Police post in the Cypress Hills, where large numbers of starving Cree and Assiniboin had gathered. He spoke with Big Bear [Mistahimaskwa*], distributed rations, and explained that he would help only those who cooperated with government policy. Indians who had signed treaties complained that many of the promises had not been fulfilled and that the cattle and implements they had received were of inferior quality. As he toured other parts of the northwest he heard similar complaints and encountered further scenes of destitution. The Blackfoot in the camp of Crowfoot [Isapo-muxika*] were so desperate that they were eating dogs and gophers. Dewdney concluded that the government would have to feed the Indians for some time. In November he went back to Ottawa to report to the prime minister. While he was there his mandate as Indian commissioner was expanded to include Manitoba and the District of Keewatin. When he returned to the west in the spring of 1880, he established his headquarters in Winnipeg.
Dewdney found the demands of the job onerous and was hurt by criticism of his appointment in the press. Moreover, his wife, who was the daughter of a tea-planter in Ceylon and had attended boarding school in England, hated the prairies and "Ned's" long absences from home. In 1881 he asked Macdonald to accept his resignation and give him a seat in the Senate. But the prime minister wanted him to continue and offered to make him lieutenant governor of the North-West Territories as well as Indian commissioner, with an additional stipend of $2,000, upon the expiry of David Laird's term of office. Dewdney agreed and became lieutenant governor on 3 Dec. 1881. He moved to Battleford (Sask.), the territorial capital; the Indian office remained in Winnipeg under the direction of assistant commissioner Elliott Torrance Galt* and his successor Hayter Reed*, until 14 June 1883, when it was relocated in Regina.
Throughout his years in the North-West Territories, Indian policy remained Dewdney's principal concern. In May 1880 he had met Sitting Bull and refused the Sioux leader's demand for a reserve and rations. Starvation ultimately forced the Sioux to return to the United States. For Canadian Indians the government was prepared to provide rations of one pound of meat (bacon or beef) and a half pound of flour per day until they could fend for themselves through agriculture. Seventeen farm instructors, including Samuel Brigham Lucas*, had been sent west to establish "home farms" adjacent to major clusters of reserves. Dewdney's policy, as directed by Ottawa, was to deny rations to Indians who would not work under the tutelage of these instructors. But while believing in the work-for-rations rule, he was not uncritical of some aspects of the grand scheme. He knew, for instance, that the instructors were patronage appointments, that many of them were incompetent, and that the lavishly supplied government farms were grossly mismanaged. He also knew that many Indians were working as best they could although they were without adequate equipment.
Rations, however, were a weapon that Dewdney did not hesitate to use when faced with resistance to government policy. In 1881 Big Bear was encouraging Indian bands from the Treaty No.4 and No.6 areas to gather in the Cypress Hills. The chief hoped to negotiate better treaty terms and establish contiguous reserves in the area which would have amounted to a semi-autonomous Indian territory. To counter this strategy Dewdney arranged for Fort Walsh to be closed and demanded that the Indians take their reserves in the Fort Qu'Appelle, Battleford, and Fort Pitt areas or have assistance cut off. Faced with starvation, the Indians submitted. Big Bear, although he signed Treaty No.6 in December 1882 and went to his reserve, still hoped to negotiate better terms and his continued agitation remained a cause of concern to Dewdney.
Education was fundamental to Indian department policy on the prairies as it evolved under Dewdney's guidance. He had great faith in the younger generation of natives, but only if the influence of their parents could be eliminated. Consequently he cooperated closely with the major Christian churches in establishing a network of industrial schools in his domain [see Joseph Hugonard; Albert Lacombe]. The schools were residential, located away from the reserves, and they offered a mixed program of manual and academic subjects. Dewdney saw no reason why this education would not rapidly transform young Indians into paragons of productivity and good citizenship.
During 1883 and 1884 Dewdney promoted a policy of subdividing agencies into more manageable units and placing a growing number of Indian agents and farm instructors on reserves to effect more direct supervision of the agricultural program. In September 1883 deputy superintendent general of Indian affairs Lawrence Vankoughnet toured the northwest and concluded that measures of economy were needed in administering the region. Dewdney protested the subsequent cuts to his budget, explaining to Ottawa that he did not want the Indians to suffer and that he required flexibility in using the work-for-rations policy – but his objections were in vain.
The tough rations policy, the building of the railway, and the steady influx of settlers increased native anxiety in 1884. The Cree were rallying behind Big Bear in pressing their demands for better treatment. And in July Louis Riel* returned from Montana to lead the agitation of the Métis for recognition of their land titles in the District of Saskatchewan. Dewdney sensed a mounting crisis but was receiving mixed messages from his men in the field. Consequently his reports to Ottawa were not as strongly worded as the occasion warranted. By February 1885, however, in the middle of a particularly harsh winter, he was urging that Métis grievances be settled, treaty promises to the Indians fulfilled, and rations increased to avert violence. But he also wanted the authority to arrest Indian chiefs who were provoking unrest.
Before any of these measures could be taken, a clash between the Métis and the police at Duck Lake in March [see Gabriel Dumont*] precipitated the North-West rebellion. Dewdney blamed Riel for the outbreak. During the months of fighting that followed he was primarily concerned with preventing Indians from joining the fray. He made tours of the Treaty No.4 and No.7 reserves, distributing gifts of tobacco and ordering rations to be increased. The strategy paid off, at least in his own estimation, and most Indians remained loyal.
In the aftermath of the rebellion Dewdney favoured strong punishment of the participants. For example he encouraged Macdonald to carry out the death sentence passed on Riel. As for the Indians who had been disloyal, he proposed depriving them of treaty annuities and confiscating their rifles and horses. He also arranged the distribution of rewards to the bands of chiefs such as Crowfoot and Red Crow [Mékaisto*] who had supported the government – extra rations, farm equipment, and money. Indian department administration became increasingly bureaucratic and repressive. Dewdney promoted the further subdivision of agencies, the appointment of additional personnel, such as inspector Alexander McGibbon*, to ensure closer supervision of the Indians, the creation of individual farms on reserves to "strike at the heart of the tribal system," and the establishment of more industrial schools. Indian agitation for greater autonomy and better treaty terms was finally suppressed [see Payipwat*].
As lieutenant governor Dewdney wielded extraordinary executive power. He was influential in the selection of Regina in 1882 to be the new territorial capital. The site was located on the route across the prairies that had ultimately been chosen by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Having bought land in the vicinity, he profited by its subdivision and sale, an action for which he was widely criticized by Liberal politicians and the Liberal press. He controlled appointments and the spending of federal funds, and his authority was independent of the Council of the North-West Territories, a partly elected, partly appointed body which served as an incipient assembly for the region. As the population of settlers grew, the elected members of the council became increasingly insistent on a larger role in territorial administration. They demanded a responsible executive, representation in parliament for the region, and ultimately provincial status. Dewdney's policy, in accordance with Macdonald's wishes, was to keep these demands in check while gradually conceding democratic reforms. In 1886, for example, Ottawa granted four seats in the House of Commons to the northwest and in the following year two Senate seats. And in 1888 the council was transformed into a legislative assembly, but without a responsible executive.
Dewdney had never liked the territories and his wife detested the place. After the rebellion he had asked Macdonald to make him lieutenant governor of British Columbia, but the prime minister had promised the post to someone else. Macdonald trusted Dewdney and appreciated his loyalty (Dewdney would be an executor of his will), and he asked him to stay on in Regina even after his term as lieutenant governor expired in 1886. When Thomas White*, the minister of the interior, died suddenly in the spring of 1888, Macdonald offered his job to Dewdney, who gratefully accepted. He resigned as lieutenant governor and Indian commissioner on 3 July. William Dell Perley, the mp for Assiniboia East, was appointed to the Senate and Dewdney was elected to the House of Commons in a by-election on 12 Sept. 1888.
Dewdney entered the federal cabinet as minister of the interior and superintendent general of Indian affairs, and he was therefore responsible for two departments with whose work he was already familiar. The Department of the Interior took in the dominion lands branch and looked after the Geological Survey of Canada and the administration of the North-West Territories. Thus he found that he still had to deal with the agitation for greater self-government in his former domain. His policy was as before: granting cautious concessions to the territorial assembly while resisting the creation of a responsible executive. In spite of his foot-dragging on the issue, he was again returned to parliament for Assiniboia East in the general election of March 1891.
Macdonald died in June, but Dewdney stayed on in the cabinet of John Joseph Caldwell Abbott* until 16 Oct. 1892, when he resigned to take up a long-coveted appointment. On 2 November he became lieutenant governor of British Columbia. Dewdney was a well-known figure by then and his status as a pioneer in the province made him a popular choice as the crown's representative, although his wife's snobbery would cause occasional irritation. He managed to stay aloof from the major controversy of his term – Premier Theodore Davie*'s decision to construct elaborate new parliament buildings in Victoria in order to "anchor" the provincial capital there. The lieutenant-governorship involved few responsibilities and numerous social events, and Dewdney enjoyed it immensely. In the autumn of 1894 and the summer of 1895 he hosted Governor General Lord Aberdeen [Hamilton-Gordon*] and Lady Aberdeen [Marjoribanks*] on their visits to the west coast. And in June 1897 he presided at the celebrations marking Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. For a man profoundly attached to the empire and the British monarchical tradition, these were the highlights of his term of office. He retired on 1 Dec. 1897.
Dewdney lived out his retirement in Victoria. Although he had done well in some of his land speculations and had earned good salaries for many years, he had managed money poorly and had no pension. With the Liberals in power in Ottawa there was no hope of a Senate appointment. He therefore went into business, speculating in a number of mining ventures but with mixed results. He tried his hand at politics again, running unsuccessfully as the Conservative candidate for New Westminster in the federal election of 1900. And in 1901 he was practising his surveying profession once more, reporting to the provincial legislature on the feasibility of a railway from Hope to Princeton – the route of the original Dewdney Trail.
At the end of January 1906 Dewdney's wife died. He lived alone for a while and then in 1909, during an extended visit to England, he married Blanche Elizabeth Plantagenet Kemeys-Tynte, the youngest daughter of a man he had known in his youth. The couple returned to Victoria and she nursed him through his declining years. Money continued to be a source of worry, and after the Conservatives returned to power in Ottawa under Robert Laird Borden* in 1911, he asked for a seat in the Senate or at least a pension in recognition of his years of service. His petitions went unheeded. He died on 8 Aug. 1916 of heart failure and was buried in Ross Bay Cemetery. His widow returned to England where she died in 1936.
Edgar Dewdney was an accomplished engineer, an indifferent businessman, an adequate administrator, and an undistinguished politician. His greatest fault, perhaps, was his partisan loyalty to John A. Macdonald, which clouded his judgement at critical moments. He deserves some of the blame for the North-West rebellion and the repressive policies that followed it. The roads he surveyed in British Columbia were his greatest achievement.

A portrait of a tech ecosystem in action.
The Loft relaunched in its new space last June.
Last June, Start It Up Delaware relaunched Wilmington's (and the state's) first coworking space in its new location on Market Street. Boasting 5,300 square feet of both private offices and shared desks and community events, including meetups and coding workshops, coIN Loft has become the epicenter of the city's innovation corridor.
As coIN members might tell you, the most invaluable benefit the space offers is the opportunity to collaborate with other members of Wilmington's fledgling community of technologists, creatives and entrepreneurs — and everything in between.
Nick Matarese, president and creative director at creative branding agency The Barn, became a member back in June 2013, back when coIN was still located on 9th and Tatnall. Since the relaunch, Matarese and The Barn have collaborated with a plethora of other coIN members.
According to Matarese, John Meyer of FoolHardy Softworks is developing an upcoming medical organization app for one of his clients. John Himics, lead designer at First Ascent Design, is doing some redesigning of another client's website. Matarese collaborated with Wilmington Design Co. founder Thomas Miller to rebrand American Lung Association's Caesar Rodney Run, pro-bono. Plus Matarese said, Founders Films' Matt Terrell made the "original connection between The Barn and Rukket Sports," a returning client.
Cnverg cofounder John Kirk said there have been "too many" collaborations in the past year to list. The coIN Loft, he said, has "been at the heart of everything we've done in Delaware." His startup has been splitting time between its home state and Philadelphia, but Kirk said the team has been excited to add new hires from Wilmington University and the University of Delaware.
Kirk did mention working with Foolhardy Softworks on "some changes to Cnverg earlier this year." Additionally, he said, his startup has recently employed the services of itr8group cofounder Rory Laitila to scale Cnverg's dev team.
Laitila has also been scaling the dev team at First Ascent. "Leveraging his knowledge has helped us grow much faster," said Himics. He also credited Sarah Zero of Heart & Dash, who has been a "mentor to us and has kept us in the game during the ups and downs." But there's more.
According to founder Pauline Rubin, First Ascent is also collaborating with Miller to develop the website and print materials for 1313 Innovation's fall event Tech2Gether (which, full disclosure, is a part of Delaware Innovation Week). And just last week, Himics worked on optimizing Carvertise's page load speed.
And as for the future? Members all have their own vision of what the "ideal" coIN Loft could be.
Matarese said he would like to see more creatives join the space, and for coIN to host more events connecting Wilmington's notoriously large corporate businesses with the local entrepreneurial community.
"We need to connect these entrepreneurs with businesses in the area that will help them succeed," he said. Kirk shares that sentiment.
"My ideal is vision of coIN is where the business community and local government wakes up and realizes it is the heart of the tech and entrepreneurial ecosystem, and finds a way to support it," he said.
Rubin said a little more mass would be nice.
"It would be an opportunity for everyone to talk about what we're working on, exchange ideas, get feedback, etc.," she said.
According to Himics, those partnerships and mass could come via improvements to organization within the space.

League One: Swindon sack Mark Cooper and chairman Lee Power takes temporary charge of the first team
Swindon Town have confirmed that they have parted company with Mark Cooper over the weekend.
The club released a statement in which they gave "their thanks to Mark for his outstanding work ethic and commitment to the job during his two-and-a-half-year tenure."
"Unfortunately, performances and results this term have not been as good as the club had hoped for with the current squad."
Cooper took charge at the club in August 2013 and managed to guide the club to the League One Play-Off final last season, where they were soundly beaten 4-0 by Preston.
This season, the Robins have not been able to replicate the kind of form that nearly got them promoted last season, and have lost six of their last seven league games.
The club's Chairman, Lee Power, has confirmed that he himself will take charge of the senior squad until a replacement is found, but insists that he will not be the club's next permanent manager.

Lü Bu, ook geschreven als Lu Bu (Fengxian of Xianfeng) was een Chinese generaal onder de Han-dynastie. Hij diende eerst onder Ding Yuan en later Dong Zhuo, als geadopteerde zoon. Later werd hij een zelfstandig krijgsheer, maar werd verslagen door Cao Cao in 199.

Levensloop
Lü Bu werd geboren in Jiuyuan, in het noordoosten van China. Zijn vader overleed vroeg, en Lü Bu kreeg een baan onder Ding Yuan.

Onder Ding Yuan
Toen Keizer Ling in 189 overleed, probeerden de eunuchen de macht in de hoofdstad Luoyang te grijpen, maar verscheidene krijgsheren, waaronder Ding Yuan met Lü Bu, vormden een verbond met He Jin om de troon veilig te stellen. Zij faalden echter en de krijgsheer Dong Zhuo wist de macht te verwerven in het keizerlijk paleis.
Ding Yuan liet het hier niet bij en rukte met zijn leger op tegen deze usurpator. Na een onbeslist gevecht met de troepen van Dong Zhuo, waarin Lü Bu zijn vechtkunsten toonde, maakte Dong Zhuo's adviseur Li Ru een plan om Lü Bu over te halen naar Zhuo's zijde. Lü Bu werd overtuigd en doodde Ding Yuan om voor Dong Zhuo te kiezen.

Onder Dong Zhuo
Dong Zhuo kreeg volledige macht over keizer Xian als eerste minister van Han, met Lü Bu als zijn rechterhand. De krijgsheren verenigden zich echter opnieuw na een oproep van Cao Cao om Dong Zhuo uit de hoofdstad te verdrijven. Het Verbond van Krijgsheren marcheerde in 191 onder leiding van Yuan Shao naar Luoyang.
In de Slag bij Sishui werd Dongs leger verslagen, waarna Dong Zhuo besloot Luoyang te plunderen en te vertrekken naar Chang'an, terwijl Lü Bu de krijgsheren op een afstand hield.
In de Roman van de Drie Koninkrijken werd hij in Chang'an verleid door Diao Chan (een personage gebaseerd op een dienstmeid/danseres waar Lü Bu en Dong Zhuo regelmatig over ruzieden), om haar man te worden. Tegelijk knoopte Diao Chan een relatie aan met Dong Zhuo om ze tegen elkaar uit te spelen. Dit lukte, en in 192 vermoordde Lü Bu zijn tweede adoptiefvader, maar werd door diens aanhangers uit Chang'an verdreven.

Van krijgsheer naar krijgsheer
Hierna trok Lü Bu door het rijk, op zoek naar een veilig heenkomen. Hij diende een tijd onder Yuan Shao, maar die was bang voor grotere doelen van Lü Bu en wilde hem laten ombrengen. Dit mislukte en Lü Bu verliet zijn heer in haast, achterna gezeten door diens generaals, maar deze durfden niet toe te slaan en lieten hem gaan.

Na enkele andere krijgsheren te hebben gediend, ging Lü Bu min of meer zijn eigen weg en werd zelf krijgsheer.

Later raakte Lü Bu in gevecht met Cao Cao, maar werd uiteindelijk verslagen. Na een mislukt verbond met Liu Bei, kreeg hij zowel hem als Cao Cao tegenover hem te staan. Uiteindelijk maakte hij zich meester van het kasteel Xiapi, waar hij door Cao Cao en Liu Bei werd omsingeld en belegerd (zie Beleg van Xiapi). Lü Bu werd in februari 199 verslagen, gevangengenomen en terechtgesteld.

Learn about the different types of antique diamond and gemstone cuts.
Diamond cutters in past centuries used techniques that are no longer common today. Often cutting diamonds by hand, they gave diamonds shapes and dimensions that capture the character and essence of their eras. Diamonds cut using the old techniques may exhibit less fire and brilliance, though they sometimes are preferred for their warmer, more romantic glow. In recent times, antique diamond cuts have enjoyed a renewed popularity. Diamonds cut using the old techniques are becoming increasingly sought after and desirable.

Reading a book is a serious undertaking of both time and mental energy. For these reasons, I will often spend hours reading online reviews (both positive and negative) in an effort to determine whether a book (and its author) will be worth my time. I believe knowledge comes not from the number of books you read, but by reading the right books. Below is a book-list containing some of the gems (and a few duds) that I have read in recent years. I hope that this list is helpful to those with similar interests or with similar ways of thinking about the world.
There is something perverse about our university education when it fails to show us the authentically cumulative tradition of thought. We have to discover the vital thinkers on our own and accidentally; our teachers, if anything, pooh-pooh the very people we should be studying, and we spend needless years just randomly and with luck coming into our own heritage (Ernest Becker – The Birth and Death of Meaning)
The Developing Mind, Second Edition: How Relationships and the Brain Interact to Shape Who We Are
Daniel J. Siegel (2012), New York, NY: Guilford Press.
Siegel's now classic book is being revised in his second edition (my review is based on the 1999 edition). Siegel is one of those rare intelligent minds capable of seeing the big picture. Drawing from neurobiology and attachment theory, Siegel presents a unified hypothesis for how the mind and body interact. In essence, it is argued that the mind is an emergent phenomenon that involves patterns in the flow of energy and information within a single brain and between brains. Siegel's theory recognizes that the maturation of the nervous system is to a degree genetically programmed, but argues that the developing brain is organized and reorganized by experiences and interpersonal relationships. Siegel's Interpersonal Neurobiology offers a way of bridging the gap between biological and social worlds without falling into the trap of biological reductionism. He draws from his experience as a psychiatrist and therapist to provide real-world examples that offer convincing support to his claims. Highly recommended to anyone interested in the mind-body gap, psychotherapy, or attachment theory.
Affect Dysregulation and Disorders of the Self
Allan N. Schore (2003), New York, NY: Norton.
As part of the Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology, Schore provides much of the psychobiological groundwork for how social relationships and experience-dependent neural activation shape the human nervous system. Drawing heavily from evidence within the biological sciences, Schore provides a convincing thesis regarding the psychobiology of attachment and affect regulation. The Orbital Frontal Cortex (OFC), at the apex of more reflexive lower-level systems and being highly connected to various limbic structures, is viewed as being key to the development of attachment relationships and to the function of emotion-regulation. Emotion is initially argued as being co-regulated during infancy and childhood by the parent. The parent changes their own neurobiological state – through their eye-contact, comforting touch, soothing tone of voice, and so on, to promote changes in the neurophysiological state of their child. This emotional attunement has effectively creates a 'holding-environment' that works to regulate the child's affect. Over time, this socially mediated experience-dependent activation within the OFC, creates and strengthens functional neural networks that will in time permit the child to regulate its own internal states more readily. This is an extremely difficult read for anyone who is not a medical professional (I kept a small medical dictionary on hand as I waded through it), but it is very much worth the effort as it provides further justification for emphasizing the importance of social relationships in shaping who we are.
Theory and Reality: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science
Peter-Godfrey-Smith (2003), Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press.
The 'Philosophy of Science' is a field that is interested in the assumptions, methods, and uses of 'science.' The 'commonsense' assumption holds that science is objective – that it accurately collects physical evidence from 'out there' in the world and uses that in a way to construct a scientific theory that is either supported or refuted by further experimentation and accumulation of evidence. While Kuhn agreed that this is what we often claim to be doing, in practice, our scientific communities tend to organize themselves around certain theoretical worldviews that include favored assumptions about the nature of reality, preferred scientific methodologies, and biases regarding what will qualify as 'evidence.' Evidence is thus interpreted through a theoretical lens, where the former is made to fit in ways inclined to justify the latter. Instead of offering a tentative (i.e. potentially falsifiable) theoretical blueprint, the paradigm is effectively treated by those working within the intellectual borders of that paradigm as 'true,' meaning that the scientific 'evidence' is anything but objective. While Karl Popper agreed with this somber view of how science seems to work, he advocated for scientists to be more aware of epistemological temptations that would want to treat our tentative theories as truths. Popper also had important things to say about the notion of theoretical conjecture, refutation and falsification. In addition to discussing such heavyweights in the philosophy of science, Godfrey-Smith also explores various philosophical positions regarding the relationship between logic and empiricism, the cultural and social embededness of science (and how it may challenge objectivity), the positions between realism versus relativism, and more recent discussions regarding the possibilities and limits of science. This is a wonderful introductory book for non-philosophers who are consumers or producers of science. I only regret that this book did not look more specifically at how science works within the 'social sciences' – I suspect there are additional challenges there that are important for us to be aware of.
Steve Fuller (2010) Durham: Acumen Publishing.
Steve Fuller's book: Science is part of Acumen's 'Art of Living Series.' Its editor, Mark Vernon, describes the series as comprising a wide range of topics that provide intellectually stimulating approaches toward 'living.' While at times philosophical, they were intended to be accessible to the lay reader and free from unnecessary jargon. This is one of the few books that I picked up before reading critical reviews – something I would later regret. What initially attracted me to the book (found on a shelf in my local bookstore), was the impression that Fuller would be critically reviewing the ways in which modern societies aspire to a 'scientific' ethic, 'scientific progress,' or ways of living 'scientifically.' With my own writings cautioning against the over-extension of science, I thought Fuller (being a philosopher and all) would be on the same page and would give additional insights into the role of scientific ideologies in modern societies. Fuller suggests that we tend to regard science as uniformly good. It is a distorted history – we tend to remember the invention of modern medicine and life-improving technologies, while forgetting nuclear bombs and mustard gas that brought equal payloads in devastation. Fuller, like many others, talks about the limitations of science – nothing new here for me, but something the average reader fails to appreciate. The problem with this book is that Fuller uses it as an excuse to defend his concept of 'Protscience:' "Just as the Protestants sought to recover the original biblical spirit behind centuries of encrusted tradition and ritual, today's Protscientists wish to revive the empowering spirit of scientific enquiry from the institutions that shackle it." He uses a hodgepodge of cherry-picked historical examples to defend his position and makes many assumptions that are never checked – or at least it is never shown to the reader how he got there. While I have no tolerance for science 'run-amok,' Fuller goes way too far and even comes to the defense of climate change skeptics and Creationists. And while he rightly criticizes the 'New Atheist' movement, he seemingly tries to make a case against atheism in general (e.g. referring to 'Fuller's Wager' – a take on Pascal). In short, this book is a schizophrenic collection of half-baked ideas and presents views that are not at all defended on rational grounds – this is surprising coming from a philosopher. After reading a few online reviews (after the fact), I was relieved to know I was not alone in my negative review.
Aping Mankind: Neuromania, Darwinitis and the Misrepresentation of Humanity
Raymond Tallis (2011), Durham: Acumen
See my full review here. Aping Mankind is Tallis' passionate critique of modern scientific attempts to understand and explain what it is to be human. In an age where we find ourselves inundated with neuro-research and Darwinian speculations, his critique is much welcomed and timely. Tallis takes aim at what he sees as a growing pessimism or anti-humanism that would prefer to see human beings as 'nothing but' or 'little more than' some kind of animal. In short, he sets out to challenge those who would see us as either mechanistic neuro-cognitive machines or talking chimps.
Tallis' attack targets two recent megatrends in science. The first mega-trend is what he calls Neuromania: the current proliferation of neurobiological studies that purport to explain the psychobiological causes related to nearly every aspect of what it is to be human. The second mega-trend is what Tallis calls Darwinitis: the popularization of psychological explanations that appeal to evolutionary origins as being the ultimate causes of our human behaviors. For Tallis, Neuromania and Darwinitis are often complementary. Once we believe we have localized some causal function in the brain, and assume it to be innate, we might then speculate about how it got there. But Tallis carefully demonstrates how the scientific 'evidence' emerging from these two scientific paradigms are actually built on some very questionable assumptions. Tallis' book is not an easy read, but the patient learner will get much out of it. Raymond Tallis is a brilliant man and has been regarded as one of the top 20 living polymaths. This is an important book for anyone interested in understanding what makes us human.
On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection
Charles Darwin (1859 Facsimile of the first edition.), 2003, Holicong, PA: Wildside Press.
Darwin's concepts of organismic adaptation and natural selection were crucial to the development of evolutionary theory. For the first time, Darwin was able to show that species were formed through their having descended from other species, sub-species, or variations. He argued that organisms were not replicated in immutable forms through reproduction, but were rather modified, if only by slight variation according to characteristics of the parent organisms, or through chance mutation. Darwin points out what animal breeders and plant cultivators should have already known in his day – that trait variation can be manipulated and bred: "One of the most remarkable features in our domesticated races is that we see in them adaptation, not intended to the animal's or plant's own good, but to man's use or fancy" (p. 30). But if such variation helped an organism thrive in nature, it might enhance the possibility of it surviving to an age of reproduction, where it could pass on characteristic traits to its progeny. Different species competed for survival and resources in the spaces that they inhabited. If there was little or no competition among species or few environmental challenges (e.g. climate changes), then nothing would hold the proliferation of that species 'in check,' which would lead to an exponential population increase and the potential extinction of other species. Darwin carefully supported his hypotheses with evidence from fossil records, investigation of selective forces within the environments of living species, studies of within and between species variation, and his own painfully detailed examination of countless animal specimens. One got the sense that he was all but forced to come to his final conclusion as a result of the overwhelming evidence – his tentative and careful style of writing was likely the result of his awareness of how controversial it would be. In addition to the notion of adaptive selection, Darwin was also aware of 'unexpected' modifications, which preclude common day discussions of evolutionary by-products or spandrels that can piggy-back on another potentially unknown trait selected for some other function. While it is now popular again to talk about evolution of human psychology, my reading of Darwin leaves me to believe that he would highly disprove of the careless hypothesizing of inherited psychological traits: "When a variation is of the slightest use to a being, we cannot tell how much of it to attribute to the accumulative action of natural selection, and how much to the conditions of life" (p. 133). Darwin's original masterpiece is an excellent read, not only for the historical feel of that age, but also to know what the man actually said (versus what he did not) – a bulwark to those who would seek to use his name for rhetorical purposes.
The Age of Insanity: Modernity and Mental Health
John F. Schumaker (2001), Westport, CT: Praeger.
Modernity can be defined by sociological and cultural trends toward capitalism, materialism, consumerism, rationalization, and the power of the nation-state along with its bureaucratic institutions. These sociocultural trends define our reality – how we view the world, how we come to think about ourselves, what it is to live a meaningful life, and they will even influence how we view mental health and how we determine 'normal' from 'abnormal' behavior. Since most of us are born into this cultural reality, we seldom question it: "…the field of psychology is still rooted deeply in individualism, the flawed assumption that individuals operate largely as isolated units who themselves are the principal translators of reality (p. 4)." Shumaker argues that we are biased in a way to ignore larger cultural trends that may also contribute to or perhaps wholly cause some forms of mental illness or distress. After exploring some theoretical roadblocks to understanding the larger picture, Schumaker begins to uncover many of the psychologically toxic factors related to the byproducts of modernity. Our cultures provide us with a sense of meaning or value – in the Western World, our worth is implicitly defined by our being consumers, by the quantity and quality of our material possessions, our capitalistically prescribed definitions of 'success' (which we are implicitly told will make us 'happy'), and so on. Schumaker argues that these forms of meaning and happiness are non-sustainable and are contributing causes of the various 'mega-trends' of psychological distress, including an emphasis of the rational over the emotional, psychological distancing from others, anxiety, loneliness, powerlesness, and compensatory egocentric preoccupations. Schumaker argues that throughout history, our sociocultural worldviews had operated in a way to provide sustainable defense mechanisms that provided meaning, structure, and helped us to deal with the existential realities of human life. However, he suggests that current cultural trends operating under the umbrella of modernity are not psychologically life-sustaining and only serve to alienate us while leaving us susceptible to various forms of mental distress. Schumaker backs up his thesis by providing examples of mental illness as defined in the Western world (e.g. diagnostic labels in the DSM-IV), and how many of these supposedly 'real' disorders are mysteriously absent in various parts of the world that are comparatively unaffected or immune to the allure of modernity. He wraps everything up by making some suggestions about what a healthy society or culture could be and where change ought to occur (though he seems cautious in its ability). Schumaker is erudite, succinct, and beyond comparison in his ability to take such difficult concepts and piece them together so that the reader might catch a glimpse of the larger picture.
The Denial of Death
Ernest Becker (1973), New York, NY: Free Press
This should be regarded as the starting point for getting acquainted with the work of Ernest Becker. The Denial of Death has won him the Pulitzer Prize and has been regarded as one of the greatest books of the 20th Century. Becker draws from many fields, including cultural anthropology, sociology, and psychology, to argue that humankind's most basic problem is being a knowing animal capable of confronting his or her own mortality. He argues that all animals die, but the human animal is the only kind with the capacity to project itself in time, to know this unfortunate fate to be theirs, and to potentially experience the feelings that such awareness provokes. The mind is of course capable of thinking abstractly, and of anticipating future events, but the body does not know time. It cannot distinguish between an event that is happening now, and one destined to occur at some uncertain point in our future. This potential for lucid awareness, about our fate, means that humans carry a burden of fear and anxiety that other animals are spared from carrying. Our fear of death (and indeed of meaninglessness) is ubiquitous, though it seldom enters our conscious awareness – and for good reason. If we were to be lucidly and continuously aware of death and nothingness, it would be very difficult to function in the world as we do. Becker persuasively demonstrates how culture and human invention has helped us throughout the ages, to deny our mortality or distract ourselves from having to think about it. Becker's ideas have since found empirical support by social psychologists and Terror Management Theory (TMT). This book is a brilliant read, and is one of Becker's most accessible works. I would also recommend the documentary: Flight from Death, which further explains some of Becker's main ideas, along with the imagery to bring them to life.
The Birth and Death of Meaning
Ernest Becker (1971), New York: NY: Free Press
This is Becker's first academic work, but I and others have found it slightly less accessible than his Denial of Death. Consequently, I strongly recommend reading this after reading The Denial of Death (1973). Nonetheless, this book has a lot to offer, including a fuller picture about the possible phylogenetic trajectory of the human being and how it may have led us into this blind alley of being the only animal intimately aware of its own demise, and one that has a need to fulfill their worth through cultural symbols. "Unlike the baboon who gluts himself only on food, man nourishes himself mostly on self-esteem (p. 3)" Becker also sketches out the ontogenetic unfolding of the symbolic animal: "The main anxieties of the child are frankly existential from the beginning, and his sexual preoccupations reflect deep and vital questions about the mystery of life and death: 'What is my body, what do these appendages mean, why do I have them, who am I, why am I here?' and so on (p. 50)" Becker does an exquisite job of illustrating how the child painfully struggles with the process of reconciling the dualism of the body and the emerging self, and I found these chapters extremely rewarding. "The crux of this confusion is that the child has only his body, he is only a body, with a very meagre self or internal furnishing. He is not yet a fully symbolic animal (p. 50)" Becker then goes on to show how we learn about ourselves through what society reflects back on us; we consequently build our identity and performance around such values, and if we prove our performance in relation to them, we are rewarded with social affirmation of our identity. Becker thus shows, convincingly, how "the human lives within cultural fiction" (p. 98). Culture then, is nothing more than sets of illusionary hero-systems that define strategies for attaining self-worth, and ways of labelling normal and abnormal behavior. Toward the end, Becker sketches out his thoughts regarding healthy and unhealthy illusions and the kinds of cultures that might be worth holding onto. Like all of Becker's works, this careful and tersely written book contains valuable insights that are too numerous to count.
Leo Tolstoy (Originally published in 1886; ), 2004, New York, NY: Bantam.
At about 100 pages in length, Tolstoy's 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' is a short story with themes of life, death, and the meaning. Tolstoy describes Ivan, a Russian Judge who worked his way up the social and economic ladders of his day with great effort and without much question. He is a husband and a father whose life is "most simple and most ordinary and therefore most terrible." It is most ordinary in the sense that he does not question or contemplate his life, its finitude, or its meaning; it is terrible in the sense that there are potential moral, interpersonal, and existential consequences for not having done so. Ivan eventually finds himself ill and is at the mercy of physicians who ponder two possible diagnoses with two very different consequences – one means life, the other, almost certain death. As he becomes increasingly more ill, he begins to understand that his illness is indeed terminal. But what is most unbearable is the fact that others are not willing to face the reality of what is happening to him. His family avoids talking about his death – instead pretending that he is only sick. Tolstoy vividly describes a man who painfully finds himself alone in having to confront his own death. He becomes resentful toward his family's avoidance of reality, and only finds comfort in a peasant boy Gerasim, who is able to speak with him because he has learned to acknowledge and tolerate his own fear of death. In his last days, Ivan begins to question the life that he had lived and ultimately finds the answers in the tears of his family. His own pain eventually subsides. While they felt sorry for him, he now feels sorry for them – he has discovered "the real thing" – the real point of life, while they will continue to live their lives built on illusion – out of their fear of death. It is here, out of his sympathy for them, that he confronts his ultimate fate and dies. Tolstoy's short story is a wonderful piece of literature with important implications for how we might face our own lives and our own death.
Fyodor Dostoevsky (Originally published 1880), 1990, New York, NY: FSG.
The Brothers Karamazov is the last book written by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It represents a classic within Russian literature and is often regarded as the best of Dostoevsky's works. I am reviewing a Russian translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. This near 800 page tome is divided into 4 parts. Despite its length, it is hard to put down. The storyline revolves around the lives of Fyodor Karamazov and his three sons: Dimitri, Ivan, and Alexei. Fyodor is a sensual and self-interested opportunist; Dimitri is a lust-driven and impulsive man; Ivan is intelligent, moderated, and rational; and the young Alexei is a compassionate novice devoted to his religious convictions. The novel details a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and the tangled web of romantic rivalries. The reader gets a wonderful glimpse into an important historical period of Russian life, and is treated to many important and thought-provoking dialogues – mostly coming from discussions involving Ivan. For example, he talks with Alexei about how an all-powerful God could conceivably allow for the suffering of children. The answer must be, as it is frequently claimed – that God's plan is mysterious and incomprehensible to we mortals – we must have faith in His knowledge; Good will be rewarded in Heaven, while Evil will be punished in Hell. To which Ivan follows: "And where is the harmony, if there is a hell? I want to forgive, and I want to embrace, I don't want more suffering. And if the suffering of children goes to make up the sum of suffering needed to buy truth, then I assert beforehand that the whole of truth is not worth such a price (p. 245)." While this is often interpreted as evidence against the 'truth' of God's existence, Ivan is saying something else: even IF God's truth was the only truth capable of understanding or explaining the world, he would nonetheless reject it – not on rational grounds, but on grounds of morality and justice. There is so much in this book that I found intellectually stimulating and emotionally moving. The often quoted chapter: 'The Grand Inquisitor' is worth the price of this book alone. This translation has also gotten rave reviews – the notes section is filled with important explanations that deepen the reader's understanding of the dialogue and context.
Hermann Hesse (Originally published 1927), 1963, New York, NY: Picador.
Harry Haller is a middle-aged man in existential crisis. He is both an intellectual and an artist in the highest sense – a fact that only contributes to his deeply felt separation from the rest of society. Harry is a lonely drifter that craves human contact while despising much of humankind. He is thus part man and part wolf. Harry's human side experiences the pain of his existential isolation and he longs to somehow escape it through human connection. At the same time, the wolf in him has an untamed and vicious hatred for the self-indulgent bourgeoisie class that seems to crave comfort and pleasure in the superficial, trivial, and petty aspects of existence. He is a stranger to the world and is lost. Hesse's novel has wonderful sprinkles of philosophical thought and dialogue that will satisfy the intelligent reader. In describing a quote from Novalis: "…'Most men will not swim before they are able to.' Is not that witty? Naturally, they won't swim! They are born for the solid earth, not for the water. And naturally they won't think. They are made for life, not for thought. Yes, and he who thinks, what's more, he who makes thought his business, he may go far in it, but he has bartered the solid earth for the water all the same, and one day he will drown (p. 16)." Harry is drowning – he is suffering. In seeking an end to his suffering, he contemplates suicide, but along the way he meets several characters that take him on an existential and experiential journey that eventually changes Harry in profound ways. Steppenwolf is a deep and moving novel about existential isolation and meaninglessness, the ultimate futility of intellectualization, and life/death. While the book has often been interpreted as having many 'Buddhist' undertones (e.g. acceptance of 'what is' or living in the 'now'), I believe that it can also be read in an 'absurd' light – it has no obvious happy ending, but manages to evoke a kind of relative hope that arises from seeing the humor in life and learning to laugh in the face of tragedy and despair. Hesse reminds the reader that it is gallows humor, but perhaps that, combined with real human contact, is enough to sustain a life.

Ayala named Eastern women's wrestling coach
Observer staff
Michael Ayala has spent the last two seasons coaching with the University of Providence wrestling team in Great Falls, Montana. He will take over as the head coach of the Eastern Oregon University wrestling program, the school announced Monday.
"Through the interview process, it was clear to see that not only will Michael's ties to the Pacific Northwest be beneficial to him leading our program, but Michael is dedicated and excited to be part of growing the sport of women's wrestling," EOU Athletic Director Anji Weissenfluh said in a press release. "His ability to connect with student-athletes and to identify quality prospects are some of (the qualities) we believe will help him find success at EOU."
Ayala has coached with both the Argos' men's and women's programs in various roles the last two seasons, most recently as an assistant coach to both programs. According to the press release, Ayala is a USA Wrestling Bronze certified coach and has ample experience in freestyle wrestling, the format used in women's collegiate wrestling.
"I'm very honored to coach a group of hardworking women," Ayala said in the press release. "I really like the team chemistry and (that) every athlete here wants to get better. I'm excited to get to help these student-athletes reach their goals on and off the mat. We want to be competitive and excel at all levels, and we strive to be the best in the classroom, community, and on the mat."
He takes over a women's program that just completed its third season of competition. The Mountaineers finished 19th at the WCWA National Championships in February and have landed three WCWA all-Americans in their three years.

Owning a home is a lifelong dream for many people. If you're one of them, then you can choose to either buy a home or build a new house. Some people prefer to build a new home with their own design. If this is your dream, it's important to hire professionals. You will need professional insight and direction in the construction process.
Building a home is a complicated and time-consuming task. With the help of a general contractor, you can easily build your home according to your needs and desires. There are a lot of benefits to be seen from hiring professionals to construct your dream home.
In this post, we'll point out the different benefits to be seen from hiring an experienced general contractor.
What are the benefits of hiring a general contractor?
Save time– With the help of a general contractor, one can easily save time. Contractors are great at managing the time and scheduling of a project in an efficient manner. They can also sort out all of the problematic issues that may arise during the construction process.
Save money–Electrical Contractors Birmingham have good experience and knowledge of how to complete a job on a tight budget. This way you won't have to spend money again and again on the same things. They can reduce mistakes which saves a lot of money in the long run.
License status – Before hiring a contractor for a construction process, it's important to check their license status. If they're licensed that means they are familiar with the rules and regulations of the local area.
These are just a few of the many benefits a general contractor can provide to the construction of your new home. They're also a great source for home renovations.

N-deal will help tackle power crisis
I agree with H. K. Dua's front-page editorial "India's hour" (Sept 8) that India's nuclear and sensitive technology isolation has now ended. The Congressional approval will be a smooth affair. This deal will have far-reaching consequences for Indian economy. At present, India's industry is crippled by chronic power shortages. The important manufacturing units are burning expensive diesel to generate electricity needed for 24-hour non-stop running of the factories. The electricity generated by diesel engines costs six to seven times the cost of power purchased from the electricity boards. The additional overhead cost makes Indian manufactures much less competitive in the global market.
America's construction techniques are so good that if need arises, they can build a complete nuclear plant on turnkey basis within two years. This implies that by the spring of 2011, India can get its first megawatts of nuclear power.Availability of additional power is likely to accelerate India's economic growth to upwards of 10 per cent. India's stock market will see the bullish results within a few days of the sealing of the deal.
HARJAP SINGH AUJLA
Monmouth Jn (NJ, USA)
It is probably about a decade before one could switch lights on and run electric trains and factories powered from one of these 21st century nuclear power plants in India. These plants will require careful site planning, selection of right and redundant equipment, design, engineering, and construction contracts to provide the most economical and efficient nuclear power generation. It should also be environmentally safe and sound for the future generations within 50 miles radius of these power plant locations.
My experience as an engineer with the first two nuclear power plants in early seventies for Duke Power Company, Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, says so. Slow and steady would surely win the race.
SHANTU SHAH, (Nuclear Power Engineer) Portland, Oregon
The editorial, "India's hour" is very well written. It shows the Editor's depth and understanding of the matter. In short, a well written editorial with philosophical touch when Mr Dua writes, "…India can now hold its head high in an imperfect world where power still counts".
PRIKSHAT VERMA, Mississauga (Canada)
The Manmohan Singh government, facing heavy odds, was able to get the green signal to go ahead with the 123 nuclear deal. It has now joined the nuclear club after 34 years. This historical achievement will help India to meet the growing demand of energy requirement in an environment-friendly atmosphere.
India's entry into the nuclear club will also help curb inflation in the country. It will provide opportunity to India to access civil nuclear technology and the much-required nuclear fuel for 14 nuclear power plants.

While the political leadership, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukerjee surely deserves praise for the accomplishment at the NSG, this is one occasion where Indian diplomats are worthy of kudos too.
Often accused of inertia and blocking major policy initiatives, the Indian diplomats and MEA officials clearly stood out this time around for their painstaking efforts to guard against the critics in details of the final draft. Tirelessly working at sessions in Vienna which extended till late in the nights last week, as reported by media, the Indian contingent truly put in an amazing effort to get the job done. If the end of nuclear apartheid in NSG waiver marks "coming of age" of sorts for India, the hope is that it means the same for MEA bureaucracy as well.
GAURAV DUA, Delhi
Our euphoria over the NSG giving us a waiver in the nuclear commerce is premature and unwarranted. In reality, the credit for this feat should rather go to the US, which was pulling strings from behind for us. We were just throwing ourselves on its mercy or piggybacking on it for something we could not do on our own. We will, therefore, look foolish in overestimating our standing or clout in the world order. Even small countries like Austria and New Zealand were cocking a snook at our pleadings for support on the issue.
Anyhow as the taste of the pudding is in the eating, we should put on hold celebrations till the nuclear agreement comes into effect. The US will definitely extract its pound of flesh as and when the situation demands. Nothing in this world comes free.
TARSEM SINGH, New Delhi
Crass commercialism
Since today everything — from education to healthcare to religion — is driven by market forces, the media could not have escaped from its onslaught somewhat naturally.
The introduction or continuation of astrology columns and slots, which exploit the inherent human anxiety to know about one's unpredictable future to the hilt, by the media is the outcome of the same commercialism. Most irritable are the TV slots, particularly those that are run by the so-called 24x7 news channels.
Not surprisingly, no TV soothsayer could predict the favourable games or the number of medals that our country would win in the Beijing Olympics. Thus, it is time these channels stopped selling these programmes that predict nothing but our weary backwardness.

Home Radio Deals Mitten Sews Up Another Station In Michigan
Mitten Sews Up Another Station In Michigan
In April, a Class A FM in a mid-sized Michigan market was involved in a deal that involved a pair of Mittens. Specifically, an entity named Mitten News LLC was the buyer.
Now, this company is adding another station in this market to its knitting box.
Mitten News LLC is the licensee of WJML-AM in Petoskey, WJNL-AM in Kingsley, and FM translator W266CS in Traverse City, and on April 11 agreed to acquire WWMN-FM 106.3 from Mitten Media LLC, an entity led by Todd Mohr, for $275,000.
Mitten News LLC is wholly owned by John Yob, and it is also the proposed assignee of WYPV-FM 94.5 in Mackinaw, Mich., a Class C2 offering a Talk format under the brand "Patriot Voice."
That's an important link to the latest deal that Yob has struck, as his Mitten News is acquiring Class D WHAK-AM 960 in Rogers City, Mich. — a facility with 5kw during daylight hours and 136 watts at night from 1 tower.
The signal covers areas east of Petoskey, and Mackinac Island.
The seller of WHAK is Edwards Communications, led by Managing Member Jerry Edwards.
The price: It's a bargain, at $12,000.
Edwards will retain ownership of five other Michigan stations. The company also owns five stations in Wyoming.

I want to mention the topic of linked scripts here because it fits very well with the other topics mentioned this hour. Remember all the ActionScripting you did in the Actions panel? Anything you can type in that panel can be stored as text in a text file. Let me just show you how it works.
After you've created your text file full of ActionScript, you can return to Flash. Use the Actions panel to select the Action "include" (under the plus button, Actions, Miscellaneous Actions) and specify, as its parameter, a named text file. For example, if in a keyframe you open the Actions panel and place the script #include "scripts.txt", Flash will use the contents of the file scripts.txt as if it were inside this keyframe. Presumably, the content of scripts.txt is a legitimate ActionScript. This is great because you can change the script without ever opening Flash. Just remember if you change the script file, you'll need to export the .swf again (as this is when the code is copied into Flash). This is a great feature.
Just like loadMovie and Shared Library items, external scripts let you modularize your projects for easy updates. The key is that you must plan for likely updates.

Home Entertainment Ray Donovan Season 8: Is It Officially Canceled?
Ray Donovan Season 8: Is It Officially Canceled?
"Ray Donovan" is an intriguing intellectual trip that fluidly shifts between moods and tones. It was created by Ann Biderman, who brought the show to Showtime. Ray Donovan, a professional "fixer" who arranges evidence tampering, threats, bribes, payoffs, and other illicit acts for high-profile clients, focuses on the plot.
Ray does an excellent job since he is methodical and precise. The connection between his wife and brother is tense, and he enjoys spending time with his children. When Ray's evil father is abruptly freed from prison, trouble is knocking at the door.
There have been seven seasons of the program since its debut. As a result of the show's captivating idea and exceptional performances by Live Schreiber and Jon Voight, it has been well praised by the public and reviewers alike.
As rumors swirl regarding whether or not the home network would bring the program back, viewers want to see Ray and his family again following the season 7 cliffhanger.
If you're curious about when the rumored film 'Ray Donovan' will be released, we've got you covered.
Ray Donovan Season 8 Release Date: Renewed Or Canceled?
Season 7 of Ray Donovan premiered on November 17, 2019, and continued till January 19, 2020. Because of the critical conditions in which the series has been operating, and the show's creators have hinted at the possibility of a ninth season,
It is also worth noting that the show's producers have been discussing the possibility of a second season. Unfortunately, there is nothing to look forward to for those fans who have been eagerly awaiting the eighth season.
Must check: Teenage Bounty Hunters Season 2: Possible Release Date, Cast, Plot, And Trailer
There will be no more seasons of Ray Donovan after Season 8 was officially canceled by the show's producers.
Ray Donovan Season 8: Why is it Cancelled?
It shocked the fans when the news of the show's termination surfaced since they had high expectations. Disappointed viewers clamored for a new season.
The audience's anger and outrage sparked a lot of speculation. And the fans have been clamoring for a second series. Season 8-related tweets have taken over Twitter. Angry fans have taken to social media after hearing the news of the series' demise.
Regarding the confirmation of a true end, David Hollander said, "We had no clue that the program was ending."
He has said that there is a chance for Season 8 to happen. According to him, we were acting as if we were in the middle of a sentence. It was never going to be a conclusion; that much was clear. "This was not the end of the series."
Ray Donovan Season 8 has been long overdue among diehard fans. For years, fans have been trying to acquire a new chapter after the show was canceled in 2020.
It seems that the long wait for the audience has finally paid off. Fans have been clamoring for a second season, and the show's creators have reacted warmly.
Ray Donovan Plot
Season 7 of "Ray Donovan" ends with the Donovan family coming to terms with their troubled history and preparing for an uncertain future in the shadow of the Sullivans.
After learning the truth about Bridget's death, Ray wreaks havoc on the Sullivan family's fortunes. During a firefight, Smitty and Declan are killed, and Daryll almost kills his father, Mickey.
The final chapter is expected to begin with events that occurred immediately after the conclusion of the seventh season. Angry Ray is determined to stop Mickey from inflicting any more damage.

To tie the plot together, the new feature film will trace the Donovan/Sullivan dispute back to Mickey's genesis story 20 years ago, oscillating between past reflections and contemporary aftermath.

Call for Tools and Demonstrations
MODELS is the premier conference series for model-based software and systems engineering, which since 1998 has been covering all aspects of modeling, from languages and methods to tools and applications. Since the inception of MODELS, the development of tools to support modeling activities has been an integral part of the research activities with many of these tools evolving into modeling platforms that support the development of new tools. The demonstration of tools at recent MODELS conferences has shown that researchers and practitioners are dedicating more time and effort to develop tools of a high quality to be used by the community. We would like to solicit high-quality submissions for the tool demonstration track ranging across commercial, academic, and corporate research and industrial systems. We encourage submissions on tools that are: research prototypes built to support novel research ideas, tools to support pedagogy, extensions of existing tools and tool chains, and mature tools not yet commercialized. The submissions to this track should not have been demonstrated at other venues and extensions of existing tools should be substantial. Based on the purpose of the tool, submissions will be evaluated on their technical merit, novelty, pedagogical impact, relevance to the modeling community and level of maturity. At least one of the authors must attend the demonstration session in order to present and discuss their tool with attendees.
We will also be inviting "lightning demos" as a second opportunity to run a tool demo at the conference. Proposals for these can come in as late as during the week of the conference. For this category of demos, no official submission is required and no publication will be made. These will also be open to researchers and practitioners who cannot physically attend the conference. Detailed instructions for the submission of lightning demos are provided here.
All submission deadlines are AoE (i.e. UTC-12).
July 20, 2018, Abstract
July 31, 2018, Full submission (extended)
August 17, 2018, Acceptance notification
August 24, 2018, Camera ready
October 18-19, 2018, Demo sessions
A short abstract describing the tool and demonstration must be submitted via EasyChair by July 20, 2018. Full submissions must be submitted via EasyChair by July 27, 2018. Submissions must adhere to the sigconf format provided by ACM (see template for details). A full submission must consist of no more than 5 pages describing the tool presented. Authors must highlight the novelty of their tool and position it with respect to related work on existing tools. The paper must include a link to a 3-5 minute-long online (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo) video that demonstrates the use of the tool. Submissions that do not adhere to the above specified page limits or that violate the formatting guidelines may be desk-rejected without review. Please submit your paper electronically in PDF via Easychair at the following URL: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=models2018 ("Tools and Demos" track)
Accepted tool demonstration papers will be published in ACM Digital Library and indexed by DBLP. A best demonstration award will be given during the conference.

Take a look at this year's Moto G (2015), also known as "Osprey" or model XT1540. An anonymous tipster just sent us the photos you see above, which show one of the best looks yet at Motorola's still unannounced smartphone.
We don't have confirmation from the source on what to expect on the hardware side of the spectrum, though earlier reports have pointed to a Snapdragon 410 chip, 1GB of RAM and a 5-inch 1280 x 720-pixel display, a 13-megapixel camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, 8GB of storage and LTE support.
There's no word yet on when the third generation Moto G will hit the market. Last year's model launched in September, so it's plausible the third generation will launch a year later.
