Liberaltarian Roundup
December 5th, 2006 · 4 Comments
Brink Lindsey's essay on the possibility of a liberal/libertarian alliance, which I noted yesterday, has elicited a flurry of discussion.
Kevind Drum is skeptical, and his comments section provides ample reason to think he's right to be—while also, incidentally, providing some evidence for my other contention yesterday that lots of us seem content to understand the views of people we disagree with primarily through caricature. Apparently, my political ideology is just an epiphenomenon of my desire to avoid paying sales tax on the Thai stick at my local whites-only hash bar. Who knew? (The commenters at Hit and Run don't seem much more sanguine, though.)
A series of posts by Todd Zywicki and Ilya Somin at Volokh Conspiracy, conveniently compiled on one page, contain lots of good analysis. The upshot is that libertarians seem to have more in common with liberals than conservatives at the level of basic theory—which is certainly true in my case; I see my views as part of the line running through Mill and Rawls much more than, say Burke—but this ends up making relatively little difference in terms of practical policy debates, which are driven by coalitions of interest groups that libertarians lack the numbers to unsettle. (Contrast Will Wilkinson at Cato-at-Liberty, who suggests that this is shortsighted.) Zywicki, incidentally, makes use of Sowell's constrained/unconstrained vision typology, arguing (as Sowell did) that conservatives generally adopt the former, liberals the latter, and libertarians fall in one or the other camp depending on whether they're (say) more Hayekian or Randian. I think that was probably true when Sowell originally wrote, but I doubt it is now. I think of myself as pretty well in the middle of Sowell's constrained/unconstrained spectrum, and for reasons I laid out last February, it's contemporary conservatives who I think exhibit more of the core symptoms of "unconstrained" thought. In any event, one silver lining to draw out here is that there do seem to be libertarian-friendly positions that liberals already ought to support in principle, but haven't prioritized to date. Maybe that's just evidence of the intractability of interest group politics, but maybe it means liberals have an opportunity to reach out to libertarians in a variety of areas just by emphasizing different aspects of what they already believe.
Virginia Postrel and Dan Drezner both note that the theme of the recent elections seems to have been a shift to a more populist breed of Democrat, which bodes ill for a liberaltarian alliance. Maybe. But it may also mean that there are elements within the Democratic party, similarly uneasy about this development, that could sorely use some backup.
Tyler Cowen, as usual, has a sharp contribution, noting that "alliance" talk grounded on an optimistic estimate of the libertarian constituency (Cato has argued that "we" may be 13 percent of the electorate on a sufficiently loose definition of "we") will run aground if there's significant internal disunity. And there's a reason the phrase "herding cats" crops up often in discussions of mobilizing libertarians. Tyler has another objection, though: Why bother talking of "alliance" rather than simply asking who it makes sense for libertarians to support in a more ad hoc way, given that both major parties can be counted on to disagree with us at least half the time?
This is a tempting line of thought: If libertarians are seen as basically unmoored and "up for grabs," both parties will have more incentive to court us. And as someone who's been amply repulsed by the extent to which some libertarians appear willing to make excuses for the GOP, I'm not about to suggest we swear blind fealty to Dems. But the relationship between exit, voice, and loyalty is complex: The threat of exit augments voice to a certain extent (think of responsiveness to consumer complaints in competitive versus monopolistic markets), but one's willingness to make concessions in a coalition is going to be dependent on its apparent stability. You're not going to move across the country and convert to Judaism for a girlfriend you suspect will ditch you for the first cute bartender who winks at her. And, as I suggested yesterday, there are places where moves to more optimal policies from both libertarian and liberal perspectives are blocked by liberal fears that we'll exploit the diminished political popularity of more targeted social programs (say) to wipe them out altogether.
Finally, over at The Corner (where Jonah Goldberg is happy enough to imagine Dems being pulled in a more economically libertarian direction), a reader wonders why Brink doesn't even mention the central issue that has already drawn so many libertarians toward the Dems in recent years: the war in Iraq. Ah, yes, that. This is a little less puzzling if you recall that Brink has basically staked out what Jim Henley dubbed the "mea minima culpa" position on the Iraq war. That is, he concedes he got it wrong when he supported the invasion, but only as a result of being too gosh-darn open-minded and un-dogmatic. Brinks omission may mean he wants to reserve the right to stump for another democracy-building clusterfuck somewhere down the line (I hope not), that he finds it awkward to cite this as a point of agreement given his own past hawkishness, or just that it didn't seem like the right point to make in an essay for The New Republic. Either way, though, it's another point that counts in favor of his case given the stance of the modal libertarian on foreign policy.
Addendum: Inevitably, just as I complained that Markos Moulistas' "Libertarian Democrat" sounded like a straight-up Democrat, Ezra Klein thinks Brink's "liberaltarian" proposals are just plain vanilla libertarianism in blue wrapping paper. To which I say: Fine, pretend for a moment you aren't convinced this is a doomed idea and make a counteroffer. We want a system in which people are encouraged to rely more on individual saving and investment. Is there any distance you're willing to go down that road? And if there is, what would it take in return? Lifting the FICA cap? A pony? We're all dealing in hypotheticals at this point: What could you cede, and what would it take?

>Fine, pretend for a moment you aren't convinced this is a doomed idea and make a counteroffer.
There really isn't much to bargain over. There just aren't enough libertarians to make a difference. Libertarians do effect the elite consensus but that is about it.
Liberals see social justice issues like universal health care, minimum wage and preserving social security as the type of issues that can get them a populist majority. For understandable reasons, libertarians are not going to be on board.

Libertarians are a lot more prevalent in the high-IQ swatch of the web than they are in voting booth. This argument is eliciting a lot more excitement in the high-end blogosphere than in the offices of campaign consultants.

We want a system in which people are encouraged to rely more on individual saving and investment.
It depends on what you mean by this whether you'll be able to get any liberals to sign on. If you mean you want people to save and invest more, then there are probably plenty of programs that liberals would be happy with–like, say, if the government matched the first X dollars that people put into a 401K every year.
OTOH, if you mean that you want people to be more dependent on the performance of their savings and investments, by weakening social insurance, the safety net, or progressive taxation, then liberals aren't likely to have anything to do with it.
I suspect that the reason Republicans have largely abandoned fiscal libertarianism is that it is perfectly sensible for them to do so. A broad consensus is emerging that excessive risk and inequality should be resisted and mitigated even if–especially if–their increase inevitable. If globalism increases risk and inequality, the government should act to protect people from those trends rather than cheerlead to make things worse. So if you want to ask what we're willing to cede in exchange for what ponies, the answer is simple–compare risk and inequality under the new proposal with those things under the current policy.
It's not quite that simple, as liberals and libertarians will have different economic models, especially when it comes to incentives–I think patients will do a lousy job of managing their own health care, and I don't think Bill Gates cares how many billions he or his foundation has as long as he has more billions than anyone else.

We have at least two different styles of libertarianism. One is concerned with civil liberties and the relationship between the individual and the state in matters of daily life. Another is concerned with unrestricted, dynamic commerce and trade.
The former type is perhaps more at home among the Democrats, and absolute civil liberty is more closely associated with the political left. The latter type is perhaps more at home in the Republican Party, and absolute laissez-faire is associated with the political far right.
Individuals may fit better into one or the other type, and libertarians generally are not a close match to the core of either party. So then we face questions about pragmatic, political give-and-take — in other words, compromise.
Government-sponsored or government-run safety net and minimal trade regulations are functionally compatible. As a matter of pragmatic politics, more likely congress can pass legislation for free trade and free enterprise, if people will walk an economic tightrope only with a safety net. People might accept the dynamism of "creative destruction" that dumps a ton of misfortune onto people who are economically at the wrong place at the wrong time, if the system does not leave them stranded in cold indifference.
This may be the best compromise that would yield good results in policy, and can be achieved politically. This may not satisfy Che Guevara or Ludwig von Mises on ideological grounds. It is possible to find balance without ending up with a so-called deadly beast that has the head of a tiger and the tail of a shark. Laissez-faire theocracy is a more awkward match than this, even if the necessary compromises leave all Democrats somewhat unsatisfied.

World's largest atom smasher LHC resumes operation to discover new particles
Cody Gash
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has already led to the discovery of some bizarre particles. It is expected to do more in 2015 after a two-year break to allow its upgrade. The atom smasher's most-storied discovery currently is the Higgs boson, which has also been dubbed 'God particle".
Searchers expect the improved LHC to discover more kinds of God particles. The powerful particle accelerator is also expected to lead to the discovery of new dimensions of reality, beyond the length, width and height that are already known to man. More importantly, scientists are hopeful that LHC will help with the unraveling of the mysteries of dark matter, which is said to make up most of the mass around us. However, very little is currently understood about dark matter.
Back in 2012, LHC led to the discovery of Higgs boson, a particle that has a mass that is about 130 times that of the proton. Higgs boson is responsible for the mass in all particles that have it. Such particles include electrons and protons. The discovery of Higgs boson remains the amazing work of LHC.
The LHC that will be resuming operations in 2015 will be much different from what existed back there in 2008 when the particle accelerator first went live. The new LHC will exhibit greater energy, which is double what it previously had. According to Gabriella Sciolla, a physicist at Brandeis University in Massachusetts, higher energy produces heavier particles.
Besides the improvement in energy at LHC, the facility remains the world's largest particle collider boasting 16 miles in circumference. LHC accelerates particles almost at the speed of light, and it uses about 9,600 magnets. The largest magnet in LHC has got a weight of 35 tons and stretches about 50 feet long.
The return of LHC has generated a lot of excitement among the people, especially among scientists. There is a great anticipation that the large particle collider will continue to shed more light on the nature of dark matter. Researchers cannot wait for 2015 to seen LHC resume operation in a bigger way.

Work on Jammu-Kashmir mega hydel project to start in 2 months: Official
By: PTI |
Jammu | Published: October 1, 2017 3:02:12 PM
Work on the Rs 4,640.88-crore Kiru hydroelectric project on the Chenab river, which flows into Pakistan, would start within two months, a senior government official said.
The project proposed on the Chenab river, a tributary of the Indus, envisages construction of a 123-metre high dam with an underground powerhouse consisting four units of 156-MW each.
Work on the Rs 4,640.88-crore Kiru hydroelectric project on the Chenab river, which flows into Pakistan, would start within two months, a senior government official said. District Development Commissioner (Kishtwar) Angrez Singh Rana and General Manager of Kiru project, Varinder Salman, visited the 624-megawatt Kiru and 540-MW Kwar hydroelectric project sites yesterday. "Various bottlenecks causing hindrances in the execution of the projects were discussed at length and immediate directions were issued for its resolution at the earliest," Rana told PTI.
He said the major work of the "run-of-the-river" Kiru project, near Patharnakki village in Kishtwar district, will start within a period of two months. A run-of-the-river project is a type of hydroelectric plant, where a river's water is not held back in a reservoir, but flows back into the river after generating electricity.
The project proposed on the Chenab river, a tributary of the Indus, envisages construction of a 123-metre high dam with an underground powerhouse consisting four units of 156-MW each. Rana said the affected families said they had not received compensation for their land, structures and fruit trees which were acquired for the projects.
Salman said non-payment of compensation was one of the reasons behind the delay in the execution of infrastructure work. He directed revenue officials to identify a chunk of state land for the rehabilitation of affected families, who were assured by him of timely compensation. Rana said the families would get proper training,so that they get jobs when the work on the project starts.
The Union environment ministry had given its nod to the Kiru and Kwar hydroelectric projects in July last year and April this year respectively. Both the projects are expected to be completed in 54 months each. The projects would be developed by the Chenab Valley Power Projects (CVPP)–a joint venture among National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC), state power body JKSPDC and Power Trading Corporation (India).

The 2-cm-long Gerzeh bead is held by The Manchester Museum.
The ancient Egyptians wore jewelry made from space rock, and meteors raining from the sky may have shaped their ideas of the gods, according to new analysis of a 5,000-year-old iron bead.
The iron in the 2-centimeter-long tube-like bauble — found at a burial site near Cairo — couldn't have come from accidental smelting. The iron has a distinct crystallization pattern, typical of the metal that cooled slowly inside asteroids, as the space rocks curdled and hardened when our solar system was young. Also, there's a tell-tale trace of nickel mixed into the metal, which was not part of any ancient Egyptian process.
Diane Johnson from the UK's Open University and and Joyce Tyldesley from the University of Manchester studied the bead, and report that the metal was hammered into sheets and then bent into a tube. The source of the metal mattered to the ancient culture, say the experts.
"The sky was very important to the ancient Egyptians," Tyldesley, an Egyptologist, told Nature News. "Something that falls from the sky is going to be considered as a gift from the gods."
The pair reported their findings in the May 20 edition of Meteoritics and Planetary Science.

UM-Flint professor teams up with block association for The Porch Project
UM-Flint alumni address food security issues throughout Michigan
A scholarship for the whole community
Melanie Howard accepts a full-ride scholarship to pursue her master's in inclusive education.
Melanie Howard is crying.
She's a teacher here at Argentine Elementary school. She thought she was coming in for a parent meeting. She wasn't. She had no idea what was coming.
As she walked into school she found herself facing a small group of people and cameras.
"I'm actually not a parent. My name is Kristi Hottenstein; I'm Vice Chancellor at the University of Michigan-Flint," walking over to Melanie.
"What is this? Am I being Punk'd?" Melanie laughs but she's nervous, shaking.
"No. I'm actually here to present you with the Greater Flint Community Leadership Scholarship. A full ride for your Master of Arts in Inclusive Education," says Hottenstein.
She tears up, "Are you serious?!"
This is wonderfully serious. Kristi holds up the official notification letter. Melanie grasps her heart with both hands and rushes to hug Kristi. Pretty soon the school is full of laughter and tears…and hugs. Melanie is crying. She's hugging colleagues, the Superintendent, and throws both arms around her son, who's here for the big surprise.
Kristi tells her, "The committee was so impressed with your essay and your application and we can't wait for you to become part of the University of Michigan-Flint and make the Flint community even better!"
Melanie fights back happy tears, "Oh my GOSH! Thank you so much! Oh my gosh! Thank you SO MUCH!"
This master's degree scholarship covers the costs of two academic years of tuition and fees to help the next generation of leaders. "As business here grows and new businesses emerge," says VC Hottenstein, "new leadership has to thrive and grow. That's the goal of this scholarship."
For Melanie Howard, this scholarship means a lot. "It means I can focus so much more on my studies without that worry. And the thought that I am sacrificing so much for my family. I just said to my husband yesterday, 'Are we sure we want to do this? It's gonna be a lot. Some big sacrifices and time and…'" her voice trails off. She stares at the official letter held firmly in her hands, "…it's amazing! To go to school and not worry about the bills and everything!"
Melanie will start working on her master's in education soon. She'll put what she learns into action in her classroom immediately, and has goals that take aim at an even bigger target. "Along with classroom improvement, my passion is to coach other teachers and that will create and inspire more leaders."
The tears continue, but no more surprises. For Melanie and her family, it's a big day. And it's the start of something that's sure to mean a lot for our community for generations.

Elmer the colourful patchwork elephant has been a nursery favourite since this first book was published in 1989. A modern classic, this picture book is known to millions, and has sold over 2 million copies around the world. The subtle message is that it is OK to be different, and combined with the vibrant colour and cheeky humour of the main character, this new edition is a celebration of his continued popularity.
Baby Elephant cant sleep because he has lost his teddy, so Elmer sets off to look for it. Eventually Elmer hears a voice shouting Help! Im lost! Can Baby Elephants teddy talk, or is Wilbur playing a trick on Elmer, as usual?
Elmer loves practical jokes, but so does his cousin Wilbur. Until, that is, Elmer has an idea which brings Wilbur back down to earth, in more ways than one.
At the first hint of a chill in the air, Elmers friends start complaining about the cold, so Elmer decides to show them what cold weather is really like. They set off for a walk up a mountain, and the higher they get, the colder it gets. A good snowball fight at the top warms them all up, but the elephants agree that compared with the freezing mountain top, their home is not really that cold at all. With his typical sense of mischief and fun, Elmer shows how hot and cold are only relative.
The hunters are coming and all the elephants are worried. Elmer, the patchwork elephant, comes up with a plan to outwit the hunters but things don't turn out quite as planned.
One morning, Elmer hears an Oh no! Looking round, he spots Super El whos in need of Elmers help. He must get to Aunt Zelda without any of the other animals seeing him and, as usual, its up to Elmer to come up with a cunning plan!
It is almost Elmers Day again and the elephants have begun their preparations. But in all the excitement they are making an awful lot of noise and upsetting the other animals. Elmer changes the rules, and invites every single animal to join in the parade, but they have a surprise in store for Elmer.

Promoting the first international TEDx event
TEDx is the spin-off from the US-based TED conference that allows individuals to set up their own TED-style events. It has proved massively popular and to date, there have been more than 100,000 TEDx talks in 150 countries. The first TEDxTokyo took place in 2009 and was the first outside of the US.
As a founding partner, Eat managed the branding for the Tokyo event from 2009 to 2014 as a pro-bono project.
The scope was wide-ranging and involved the design, development and management of the website and overseeing the creation of all visual assets with a large group of volunteers. The talks were streamed live – in Japanese and English and can all be viewed online. They have amassed over 2.5m views.
A Japanese TEDx event has its own unique personality and presents its own set of challenges. For a country still in many ways domestically focused, with an emphasis on 'the team' rather than the individual, the concept of a TED talk is somewhat of an anathema. There is however a growing realisation that Japan needs to raise its voice internationally and there is a new generation of entrepreneur willing to do that. TEDxTokyo became a forum where these conversations could take place.

If you have an Epson T24 printer. But now all the red lights are blinking, and You don't know how to solve this problem.
When using Epson T24 printer, you may encounter several blinking problems. The blinking signal suggests reset the waste ink counter.
Naturally, the printer's red light blinking due to some causes, but the major cause of blinking is: One of the Epson T24 Waste ink pad counter is definitely overflow.
The printer depends the amount of ink flow to waste ink pad and holds this total number into printer's memory.
This amount is known as Protection Counter and also Waste Ink Counter.
How to know my Epson T24 printer Waste ink Counter is overflow?
Full waste ink counter of Epson T24 is 100%. Overflow shows that Epson T24 waste ink counters amounts are more than 100%.
It is quite easy to check Epson T24 waste ink counters with InkReset software.
If one or more than one counters are overflow – you can't using printer – you have to RESET Epson T24 WASTE INK COUNTERS.
Or how do you reset flashing lights mistake condition on my Epson T24 inkjet printer?
During Epson T24 printer cleaning routine, it dispels ink from its nozzles straight down a waste pipe into an absorbent pad.
Epson has put a counter within their printers (included Epson T24 printer) that counts every page moved through the printer and has set the Epson T24 printer to stop working after a specific number to prevent overflow of the waste ink pad.
Usually, Epson T24 printer's waste pad is around 35% to 75% whole whenever the printer starts telling one message. Soon after the preliminary message, you can only print 19-20 pages before your Epson T24 printer won't works anymore.
There is a workaround that you can use to reset the counter to its first state. Follow these techniques to fix "Epson waste ink pad counter in the printer is overflow" error.
Once extracted and before starting, make sure your Epson T24 printer's driver already are installed on the computer.
Double-click exe to run the WICReset Utility. Epson T24 adjustment program screen will appear. Select your printer model (Epson T24) in the left sidebar.

Elon Musk Says He'll Sell Branded Tesla Short Shorts and We Can't Tell If He's Joking
By Sean Norris
Elon Musk is a lot of things. Eccentric billionaire. Futurist visionary. Corporate CEO. Sometimes, those things exist at odds with one another—a complicated mix that's as volatile as it is genius. You could spend countless words and hours trying to parse it, so we're not going to do that here. Instead, we're going to focus on that other thing Elon Musk is: promotional products virtuoso.
The latest entry in his oeuvre? Tesla short shorts. Maybe.
We've been following Musk's promotional prowess for awhile. First there was the branded merchandise for The Boring Company, which started innocuously enough with hats before escalating straight to branded flamethrowers. Then there were the Tesla promotional surfboards that sold out instantly. Somewhere in between were, in Musk's own words, "lifesize LEGO-like interlocking bricks made from tunneling rock that you can use to create sculptures and buildings," whatever that means.
All of those items were massive hits. (Well, the ones that hit production, anyway. The building bricks have yet to see the light of day.) And all of them but the surfboards were announced on Twitter. So when Musk takes to the platform to announce new merchandise, as he did on Friday, we have to take it seriously, even if it seems like a big joke. Case in point:
Short shorts coming soon to Tesla merch
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 11, 2018
This tweet is some superb dad-joke-meets-stock-market humor, which everyone knows is the best kind of humor. If you don't get the joke, we'll pause here while Yahoo explains it for us:
Musk's tweet comes on the heels of a joke between Musk and David Einhorn, the billionaire founder and president of hedge fund Greenlight Capital.
Einhorn holds a short position of Tesla shares through his hedge fund, an investment decision that indicates the hedge fund executive thinks the price of Tesla will fall. Further, Einhorn recently made public his decision to not renew his Tesla lease.
In response, the outspoken Tesla CEO tweeted he would send Einhorn a box of "short shorts," which Einhorn revealed on Friday that he had received.
This is a fine joke. But what if it's not actually a joke? As we said above, Musk announced other promo ventures via Twitter, and some of them—particularly the flamethrowers—sure seemed like jokes at the time:
I know it's a little off-brand, but kids love it
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 11, 2017
For as forward-thinking as he is in his business ventures, Musk is impulsive as heck on social media. (It's gotten him into plenty of trouble before.) He seems like just the sort of guy who would fire off a jokey, retaliatory tweet about something and then love the idea so much he decides to make it real. In fact, he's already done it once before, sort of.
In response to a beef with Warren Buffett (long story), Musk took to Twitter to announce he was starting a candy company. His initial tweets were so off the cuff and informal it seemed like, yeah, a joke:
I am super super serious
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 5, 2018
Yet there he was, a week later, posting pictures of peanut brittle with a "Boring Candy" label. Since then, it's been all quiet on the candy front, but the point remains. Musk has the funds to do whatever he pleases, and sometimes, he does it.
Beyond that, he's clearly very involved on the merchandise side. He hyped Boring Company hats on Twitter with a running count of how many sold and provided regular updates on flamethrower production status. Tesla already has a fairly robust branded merchandise offering on its webstore, including a large assortment of promotional apparel. SpaceX, Musk's other big venture, also has a merch store. Adding some short shorts to the mix would be easy, and also probably a slam dunk, given the baked-in hype from Musk's Twitter announcement and the resurgent popularity of men's above-the-knee shorts.
It's enough to convince us that Tesla short shorts could really be on their way soon. Then again, the rest of the Twitter thread got a little out of hand, and now we don't know what to think:
S3XY
What are your fav short shorts?
Paired with thigh-high sockboots
Unis3x
And thigh high socks with pockets for lipliner & cards
Get yourself some Tesla short shorts soon. Possibly.

The 'Art for Life' team at Musgrove Park Hospital recently called upon Third year Interior Textiles and Surface Design BA(Hons) students at Somerset College to play a major role in a PR campaign they are launching to create eye-catching designs for wheelchairs on the site. The aim of the campaign is to give the wheelchairs a distinct and colourful identity.
Students were asked to come up with 2 dimensional designs that can be applied (painted/sprayed) onto the wheelchairs to make it really clear that they belong to the hospital.
Three of the designs were selected by a panel for their visual impact and how well they fulfilled the brief. The winning artists will each apply their work onto a wheelchair and this will be the focus of further press coverage when the artwork is finished.
Patient and staff response to the designs will be monitored and the most popular design will be applied to new wheelchairs as they are purchased by the hospital.
The photograph shows the three competition winners from left to right Katy Duncan, Sarah Alford (overall winner) and Kirstie Montague - All final year students. Also pictured are - far left - Mark Wall, Associate Director for Communications and Marketing at Musgrove PH and front right George Kirkbride, Housekeeper on the Medical Assessment Unit at Musgrove PH.

The Olympic Games bring together thousands of volunteer healthcare professionals
With the 2016 Summer Olympic Games about to kick off, the international sporting event is becoming more and more central in daily conversation. While competition is obvious among both athletes and spectators, the Games are ultimately about unity. Every two years (alternating between summer and winter), numerous countries — an impressive 204 in the 2012 Summer Olympics — put aside their political differences for 16 days to focus on their love of sports. The Games bring together athletes, national leaders, sports fans — and even healthcare professionals.
From August 5-21, an estimated 70,000 volunteers will gather in Rio de Janeiro, and approximately 5,000 of them will be healthcare professionals. These volunteers will be drawn from a wide range of fields, including nursing, first-aid, physiotherapy, massage therapy, pharmacy, dentistry, radiology, orthopedics, optometry and more.1
Crucial for Success
Although 5,000 healthcare volunteers may seem like a lot, they're crucial for the success of the Olympics: Of the 11,000 athletes who will compete in Rio, an estimated 10% will suffer an injury, and 7% will contract an illness.1-2 Indeed, with a large number of people comes a great variety of diseases. As Robert McCormack, medical director for the Canadian Olympic Committee at the 2012 Games in London, told the Canadian Medical Association, "The Olympics is where the viruses of the world come to meet."
However, the roles of volunteers from the healthcare industry will vary greatly. At the last Summer Olympics, many volunteers were placed in a polyclinic in the Olympic Village that offered primary care, sports medicine, physiotherapy, optometry, ophthalmology, dental care, medical imaging, podiatry and more.2 Others offered on-site support to specific teams' own medical support teams, or provided first aid to athletes.3-4
Although many of these volunteers will treat injuries, the bulk of the work performed by medical professionals at the Olympics is basic, primary care. Many athletes who don't have time for regular dentist visits due to their training schedule are able to briefly visit with a dentist in the Olympic Village. Further, athletes from countries with limited access to quality healthcare are able to meet with trained healthcare professionals who can offer them anything from physical therapy to contact lenses.2
Opportunity for Experience
While volunteer positions at Rio required applicants to have graduated or passed their professional qualifications by January 2016, according to the official website for the 2016 Summer Olympics, a great deal of professional experience isn't required. Rather, the Olympic Committee says, "This is a unique opportunity to enrich your CV, meet people from different cultural backgrounds and make new friends."5
Although professional experience was technically not mandatory, it may have been difficult to be accepted into the program without an impressive work history: Approximately 270,000 people applied to volunteer at the Olympics, and less than one-fifth were accepted.6
Even if someone is among the lucky number to be accepted, the journey to Rio still isn't simple. As Teresa Roe, RN, a soon-to-be volunteer at the 2016 Summer Olympics, told The Columbus Dispatch, the International Olympic Committee doesn't pay for volunteers' travel or accommodations. According to Roe, volunteers only receive a meal each day and a uniform — but the volunteers feel that the experience makes it all worthwhile.6
"It combines my passion for sports medicine, which is what I love to do every day, and a passion for traveling and experiencing new lands and cultures," Brian Krabak, MD, MBA, FACSM, told CNN.7
Different Paths
Not all healthcare volunteers come to the Olympics the same way. Jeff Goudreau, MD, FACP, started working with the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) 16 years ago, including roles at the Olympic Training Centers in San Diego and Colorado Springs. In Rio, he will serve as a physician for the men's and women's swimming and water polo events, overseeing all teams. Although he has worked with the committee for quite some time, he told ADVANCE that it wasn't a small feat to be offered his new supervisory position.
"I think I was accepted because of my 16-year experience with the USOC and my language skills," Goudreau said. During the application process, he was required to take language skills tests in Spanish, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese — and passed with flying colors. In Rio, he anticipates that he will staff a clinic and take care of minor injuries but, as with most volunteers going to the Olympics, can't be entirely certain about what his days will entail until he arrives.
Passion for the Unknown
Healthcare workers at the Olympics will care for not only athletes, but also volunteers, members of the media, coaches, dignitaries, support staff and spectators.2 While most volunteers don't know the specifics of their roles prior to arriving at the Games, they aren't daunted by the unknown. Many see volunteering at the Olympics as a once-in-a-lifetime, "bucket list" opportunity — and, given the small percentage of applicants who are accepted, perhaps they should.
Do you think that volunteering as a healthcare professional at the Olympics could be a fit for you? While it might be too late to go to Rio, applications are open for the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Why not see where the Olympics could take you?

What You Learn From Playing A Musical Instrument, Especially If You Suck
By Daniel Coffeen, April 22nd 2014
I've been playing guitar since I was 16 when I borrowed a friend's and taught myself the chords to CSNY's "Teach Your Children." Since then, my frequency of playing has fluctuated from not touching a guitar for years to playing every day for months on end.
In any case, I suck. Really. That's not humility or modesty. It's reality. I am a bad guitar player. I can play the chords; I can wail a blues solo for hours (much to the chagrin of those around me). But I just don't have musical sense. I can't tell if a note goes up or down. I'm not sure if that means I'm tone deaf but I do know I couldn't carry a tune if my life depended on it. My rhythm is, uh, not terribly rhythmic. Or is it terribly rhythmic? Anyway, I have a poor sense of rhythm, to say the least.
I pick up my guitar and I play the same damn lick or I strum some (in my mind) Neil Youngish chords or Pixie-ish surf chords. Usually after that, I don't know what to do. I don't know what the guitar wants from me. I can't hear it and it can't hear me. It's pretty how much how I feel when I'm in Paris (which is not very often). I know enough to sound like a moron; I understand less; and once the conversation goes past the preliminary greetings and, perhaps, one carefully construed insight, I'm at a loss. I'm not even conversant in guitar.
But unlike French, I can't learn the language of guitar by playing more. The fact is I hit a wall and it becomes a strange, unwieldy thing in my hands rather than an instrument. Still, I find my reckoning with the guitar, with making music, a constant education — and not just about the guitar.
There are times, usually when I'm feeling loose and good (ahem), that I begin writing these little ditties. I'll feel a certain inspiration and some lick comes out of me (writing that here, I am suddenly quite taken with this word, lick — a reaching taste, tongue taking in a moment of the world). But even in these inspired moments, I hit that same wall. I don't know what to do next.
But it's not because there's a lack of things to do. The canvas is not blank. It's chock full, filled to the brim. I could do this Steven Stills thing; that VU type thingy; move into that down strum, two string new wave kinda thingy; bang away either punky or Sabbathy.
As Deleuze says in his great book on Francis Bacon, the artist doesn't come to a blank canvas. He comes to a canvas overflowing with the already done, with cliché. The artist's job is not to create something from nothing; it's to create something new from the old. It's to slice away, take away, tear away as much as it is to add.
I see the sign on the music store wall in "Wayne's World": No Stairway to Heaven. Because picking up a guitar, our instinct — or my instinct, at least — is to become Jimmy Page, Kurt Cobain, Johnny Marr. It's to be the rock star, the punk rocker, the folk hero. It's to be someone else, to be what's already been — and to sound just like him or, you know, more soulful. This is one of the great lessons of playing an instrument, something you learn in your very fiber as you play: cliché looms, cliché abounds, waiting for us all at every turn.
So I try to put aside all those pre-packaged licks, those readymade riffs. I take to the fret like a pioneer and begin plucking here, bending there, strumming odd chords. I shift rhythms, change strum patterns, alter volume and speed. I try to break the cliché (without becoming one — after all, breaking form takes many forms that, at this point, are all too tired).
And where do I end up? In the chaos of noise. I keep noodling, changing, shifting, alternating until whatever coherence there was has long dissipated. This is what drives children and girlfriends away, and quickly.
It's an incredible experience that puts me face to face with the cosmos. I'm reaching, licking, for sense, for song, and can't find it. It — that elusive musical sense, a song, a score, a piece of music — refuses to come into existence. It's not that I am trying to make form from the formless. It's that I'm trying to steer all these possibilities — these notes and riffs, these songs, these histories from Beethoven to Beck — into some kind of something that won't come.
And just when I think I have something, just when I feel there might be a there there, I realize I'm playing "Sweet Jane" only syncopated. Damn.
I can write an ok moment now and again. But I never know what to do with that moment, where to go next, what to do next. I see nothing and I see everything and it's all just a big old jumbled mess.
And so I try simply to lay it down. To grab onto a riff and repeat it, over and over. I want that delirium of repetition. I want to slip inside the secret beat of life, the cosmic rhythm, and be carried along its currents, grooving for eternity.
But I can't. I try to repeat the riff. I really do. I tell myself, Just play that same stupid thing over and over. I go two, four, seven measures. And then I come in early or late; I add a beat, an upstroke, an accidental flourish that doesn't fit. I get flustered, confused. I have no idea where I am anymore. Am I behind? Ahead? I don't know. It's humiliating.
So I try to take lead. Maybe if I sit on top of the groove, I can ride its wave, pushing and pulling with my mad minor blues scales. And for a moment there, I'm rocking! I'm at the very crest of cosmic becoming! I am the lizard king! And just as soon as I find it, it's gone. I flub a note, screw the rhythm, get smothered by the wave. Once again, humiliation.
But trying to find it, to feel it, to ride it is an education. O, to find that groove of grooves, to slide on in, to be taken in by the pull of the universe itself! To ride that wave! If only I knew how to swim.
To play an instrument is to reckon the cosmos. As you try to make sense, to get in groove, you come up against the terrible tyranny of cliché on one hand and the terrifying abyss of chaos on the other. It is a humbling education that places your entire body and mind — your very being — in the thick and thin of it.
Of course, some people move well with music. My friend Eugene crafts crafty songs readily and has been doing so since he was five. No joke. He speaks music; he thinks in music. Me, I think in words. I can parry clichés or embrace them and feel comfortable. This is not to say that I write well; it's only to say that I'm comfortable in the medium, with its way of operating, its set of demands. I can split infinitives, shift voice, make references and feel just fine.
But with music? Oy vey. How do I make my way amidst that torrential team of possibility, that storm of what is, what has been, what can be — all those songs, notes, moods, progressions? Can I catch a groove, if only for a spell? Can I spin the world fantastic, even if only once? How? What do I do? How do I position myself? What is my posture to be?
Even Eugene, that musical whiz, must turn and face the frenzy. Such is the task of life. We live inundated with cliché while chaos looms, relentless and merciless. Such is our fate. This is what we do as we dress, talk, kiss, write. Playing music amplifies the challenge, bringing the lesson to the fore — all the more because I suck.

New varieties like "Frizzle Sizzle Mix" and "Matrix Sunrise" are a bit different and distinctive, with brighter and showier colors that really stand out. These can be planted right now regardless of the weather. It's hard to resist their velvety friendly faces. Pansies shrug off the cold, frost and snow.
A popular variation on the pansy is the Viola, or "Johnny-jump-up." We sell more of these every year and their dainty, pastel colored blooms are charming. Once established they will self-seed in cool, moist areas of your garden and you'll have more every year. Like pansies, violas like cool weather or a shady location. They'll fizzle out in early summer, by which time your annual bedding plants can take over. You'll be surprised how they pop up next spring when you've forgotten all about them.

What Counts as Identity Theft?
Ryan / April 26, 2018
Many of the arguments in favor of net neutrality rely heavily on the idea that the internet is, as President Barack Obama said, "one of the most significant democratizing influences the world has ever known." While that statement might be true in some ways, it's not the whole truth. Initially built for military intelligence purposes, the same infrastructure that provides unprecedented access to information also provides a platform for surveillance and identity theft on an unprecedented scale. Whether enacted by governments, corporations, or individuals, the volume of surveillance and identity theft possible in digital environments is increasing the risk to individuals while also increasing the futility victims feel in trying to protect themselves or find recourse through the criminal justice system.
In describing her own experience with an online impersonator, Katie Baker minimizes the fake Instagram account created using her name and likeness as "extremely benign" while also noting her "constant unease" in her ignorance of the account's true purpose. Why would an impersonator take the time to surveil her online habits, use them to construct a realistic social media profile, track down friends and community members who would want to connect with her, and send them direct messages, only to stop pursuing contact shortly thereafter? Baker's feeling of dread, and knowledge of how social media companies handle reporting of fake accounts, was strong enough that she and her friends collectively (and successfully) appealed to Instagram to have the user banned, and she admits feeling relief at this outcome; even so, Baker immediately second-guesses whether it was necessary, then expresses certainty that some future ne'er-do-well will someday perfect their impersonation of her.
This mixture of action despite her fatalism and the perceived futility of using Instagram's reporting system echoes Zoe Quinn's experience in protecting herself against a former boyfriend who used his social networks to unleash a vicious backlash against her after their breakup. Eron Gjoni's web-based "hate mob," as Quinn described it, was so coordinated and violent in following her moves and publicly reporting her virtual and physical activity that she fled her home, in fear for her life. Quinn received multiple restraining orders against Gjoni, but by the time Boston's District Attorney got involved, the scale of the abuse and harassment had reached such a level that Quinn decided to drop her case, forgoing legal action in favor of lobbying the technology companies whose services were used in Gjoni's harassment campaign into taking steps to counter the kind of abuse she received.
While Baker's experience might be casually referred to as identity theft, neither her situation nor Quinn's currently fall under a legal definition of that concept, a term inconsistently defined even among scholars, legal experts, and law enforcement agencies. Using a person's name and Social Security number to open a new credit card account is consistently considered identity theft, for example, but using that same person's existing credit card to make fraudulent purchases is typically not. Having inconsistent and overly-restrictive legal definitions that do not and cannot adjust at the speed of technological advance helps ensure that our criminal justice system "remains unwilling, or unable, to resolve all but the most straightforward" of web-based crimes. This is not an inevitability, however. Ari Adut, a sociologist at the University of Texas at Austin, agrees with Craig Calhoun that identities "are often formed in the course of public debates" (p. 239) and further argues that the public sphere consists of "all virtual or real spaces […] that can be sensorily accessed with or without mediation" (p. 243). These conceptualizations could provide the foundation for an argument that exclusion from the public sphere constitutes identity theft. Because Quinn could not safely access the public sphere, either physically or virtually, without fearing for her life, her right to engage in public debates, and therefore to construct her own identity, was stolen.
The definition of identity crime could also be expanded to include not just horizontal surveillance and identity theft, but vertical forms of those crimes as well. In Superconnected: The Internet, Digital Media, and Techno-Social Life, Mary Chayko uses these terms to describe and make visible the relative power of the enacter versus the object of surveillance, and the transparency or opacity of that relationship. Horizontal surveillance occurs when surveillor and surveillee are in a relatively equal and transparent relationship, such as the individual-to-individual surveillance both Baker and Quinn faced on social media sites, where the point of being present is (to some extent) to be seen. Vertical surveillance, meanwhile, is enacted by governments or corporations on individuals who may have no expectation of being tracked, no ability to know they are being tracked, and no way to opt out.
Because of their power to issue official identity documents, governments have access to particular forms of identity theft not available to individuals or even corporations. Simone Browne, in describing the concept of "digital epidermalization," outlines the process by which our bodies are algorithmically broken into component biometric parts — "iris and retinal scans, hand geometry, fingerprint data, facial and vascular patterns, and gait recognition" (p. 134) — digitized, and then encoded into governmental databases, which then serve as the official record of our identity. These encoded attributes can then be compared with our physical bodies at checkpoints, applied and interpreted by human government employees (customs agents, border guards, TSA agents), and used to judge whether we are included or excluded from physical spaces like national borders, as well as virtual spaces, like when Instagram requires government-issued identification to request the removal of fraudulent account.
Similar to how Zoe Quinn's right to create and enact her identity was taken away by Gjoni's internet mobs, a government reducing one's identity to the sum of their biometric data parts is taking the right of self-determination out of the hands of individuals, effectively stealing their identity. In this way, the internet retains its original military intelligence purposes, to monitor and control the movements of individuals, while also determining who shall be judged worthy to take part in the public sphere. If identity theft were to be defined by process and outcome, instead of restricted to specific contexts, victims would have a greater opportunity to find recourse through the criminal justice system, perhaps leading to less victimization as well as less fatalism. However, this is unlikely to happen, as it could potentially raise the visibility of the vertical surveillance and identity theft inflicted on individuals by corporations (with their powerful and monied lobbyists) and the government. In this way, the impact of digital environments on our feelings of victimization could be considered a canary in a coal mine, alerting us to the even more alarming impact digital environments are having on the scale and scope of our actual victimization.

The History of Engagement Rings
Now reading: The History of Engagement Rings
June 10, 2022Jewellery Guides
An engagement is a special milestone in a couple's life. An engagement ring is presented to symbolise the commitment of their journey to come. This scene is played out repeatedly in film, TV, and advertising. But when did the practice of giving engagement rings begin? What is the history of engagement rings?
The word engagement comes from the French 'engager', which means to pledge and was predominantly used in the seventeenth century to refer to battles or fighting. The word 'engagement' joined the modern lexicon in 1742 with the definition we recognise today: the promise of marriage or betrothal.
Today we will examine the origins and history of diamond engagement rings, how engagement rings have changed over the centuries, and the vintage engagement ring styles that never go out of fashion. Let's begin with the history of engagement rings...
Early Betrothal Rings
Engagement rings, sometimes referred to as betrothal rings, can be dated back to the ancient Egyptians so the history of engagement rings begins there. The circular shape of the betrothal ring represented eternal love, with no beginning and no end. Some of the earliest examples of Egyptian betrothal rings came in the form of snake rings or ouroboros. These rings depicted a snake devouring its tail. This ancient symbol represented the unending cycle of life and love.
Greeks and then Romans continued the tradition of gifting rings to their betrothed. These early Roman betrothal rings were usually crafted from iron. As time went on, wealthier citizens began gifting their betrothed with gold rings to be worn outside of the home or on formal occasions, with iron rings remaining for daily household wear. Many of these early betrothal rings were engraved with messages of love. One such early Greek example in the collection of the British Museum is engraved with the name 'Honey'. Another example is inscribed with the sentiment 'I rejoice in the gift because of the affection of the giver'.
A diamond was added to the betrothal ring in the 15th century. While the metal hoop symbolised eternity, the diamond represented conjugal fidelity. Continuing the tradition from the past, posies or little poems were inscribed on the rings, often inside the hoop. These were secret messages of love.
Diamond engagement rings started to become increasingly popular with the discovery of diamonds in Brazil in the early 1700s. Diamond polishing techniques improved and the design of the rings evolved to reveal and highlight the sparkle of the diamonds. With the 1870 discovery of diamonds in Africa, the market was able to supply this sparkling gemstone to more engaged couples.
Vintage Style Engraved Diamond Ring in Yellow Gold
While diamond engagement rings may be the go-to choice for brides today, that has not always been the case. Before the 1800s, diamonds were only mined in India, making them exceptionally rare and available only to the wealthiest tiers of society. Gemstone engagement rings, with their bright colours and spiritual symbolism, made an ideal choice for expressing love and devotion. Sapphire engagement rings were thought to symbolise faithfulness and honesty and were believed to have protective properties. Rubies were considered the "gem of nobility" and represented the passion and devotion of the giver. Verdant green emeralds were often used to symbolise hope and new beginnings, making them an ideal choice for marking a couple's engagement.
Gemstones have been used in the earliest engagement rings to represent passion, honesty and undying love.
Vintage Style Ruby and Diamond Engagement Ring in Yellow Gold
The Victorian era was one of industry and exploration. The discovery of South African diamond deposits led to a surge of availability and brought diamonds to the masses. The Victorian middle class was growing, and with them came more disposable income to buy lavish jewellery and ornate engagement rings. Victorian engagement rings reflected this newfound prosperity and featured a wide variety of styles that incorporated a mixture of diamonds and gemstones set in elaborate gold settings.
Victorian Engagement Rings reflected the Prosperity of their Time with Elaborately Engraved Settings and Brightly Coloured Gemstones
The official engagement ring of Queen Victoria in the 1830s looked back to ancient symbolism, which continued to be a favourite symbol in the 19th century - she chose a snake ring. The snake ring represented eternity with the coils wound round into a circle.
Gold Snake Ring in an Antique Design with Old Mine-Cut Diamond
The Edwardian engagement rings are characterised by delicate designs in white metal and set with glittering white diamonds. Platinum became more widely available after 1900 and quickly became the favoured metal of the Edwardian era. Platinum strength and ductility made it ideal for creating thin settings, delicate floral motifs and designing cluster rings of glittering diamonds.
Platinum was Ideal for Delicate Metal Settings with Diamonds
The Art Deco engagement rings of the 1920s and 1930s were known for their bold geometric designs, exotic influences and unique use of colour. Plaque and cluster rings gained popularity with many Art Deco engagement rings featuring bold coloured accents that emphasised the geometric aspects of their design. Unusual gemstones such as jade, onyx, aquamarine and citrine were favoured to contrast with the all-white backdrop of platinum and diamonds. With their distinctive design, Art Deco engagement rings make a sophisticated and instantly recognisable choice.
Emerald and Diamond Pierced Plaque Ring
Modern engagement rings have streamlined vintage styles into chic contemporary creations. Ranging from elaborate clusters to minimalist solitaires, the modern engagement ring reflects the wearer's style. Contemporary engagement rings put an emphasis on the central stone, often a diamond. Solitaire engagement rings have remained a favourite due to their simplicity and timeless design. Highlighting the colour and quality of the central stone, solitaire engagement rings may also feature shoulders set with smaller accent diamonds or engraving. Three-stone engagement rings also provide a stylish choice. Symbolising the love of the past, present and future, three-stone engagement rings make a sentimental choice for the modern couple.

CHUWI Unveils LarkBox, the World's Smallest Mini PC, with Giveaway
CHUWI, makers of affordable tablets and PCs, unveiled the LarkBox with a giveaway today. Measuring 2.4x2.4x1.7 inches, it's a full-fledged PC that can fit in the palm of your hand.
Even though CHUWI is comparing the PC to an apple, it's actually fairer to say it's the size of a mini apple. At only 2.4 x 2.4x1.7 inches and 127 grams, it's easy to mistake it for something else entirely, but make no mistake, this is a real PC you could throw in the side pocket of a bag with room to spare.
Chuwi LarkBook Features
Despite its small size, the LarkBox has enough processing power to be quite the capable entertainment or productivity PC. It's running an 8th-gen Intel N4100 with integrated UHD graphics, and 6GB of LPDDR4 RAM. It even comes with a built-in 128GB SSD for rapid booting and responsive media storage.
I've used the N4100 on machines in the past and, even though it struggles with modern gaming, it's a very capable processor for streaming and emulators, and is a perfect fit for web browsing and productivity applications like the Microsoft suite. Combined with its small size, the LarkBox is shaping up to be quite an interesting choice for a media PC you can hide right on the back of your television.
CHUWI is no stranger to making compact PCs. In the last year alone, they've released the GTBox Mini PC and the pint-sized Minibook, a full laptop that only takes up eight inches of space. The LarkBox takes that trend and pushes it to the next level in a way that almost redefines how "mini" a consumer mini PC can be.

The rivalry continues. Ok, it's not a playoff game or even a regular season match-up, but every time the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers get together to play some basketball, it's fun to watch. The Clippers travel to Oracle Arena to take on the Warriors for another pre-season match-up tonight and this game promises to be another exciting chapter to this rivalry.
The Clippers are currently 1-4 in the pre-season, with their only win coming against the Utah Jazz at home. With the Donald Sterling situation behind them, the Clippers enter this season as one of the favorites in the Western Conference. However, the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder are clearly the top two teams in the West. Like the Warriors, the Clippers are looking to take the next step in the post-season and contend for an NBA championship.
Who else did you expect? Paul is the outright leader of this team and the Clippers will go as far as he takes them. Paul is arguably one of the best players in the league, but has not able to perform in the post-season. He is currently averaging 12.8 points and 8.6 assists in the pre-season. In their first pre-season meeting at the Staples Center, Paul played 25 minutes and finished the game with 14 points and nine assists. Expect him to go up against Steph Curry tonight, this will be a great match-up to watch.
Another shocker here. The Clippers are a two headed monster and Blake Griffin was a force in their first pre-season meeting. He scored 24 points and grabbed 12 boards. He was 9 for 17 from the field and even hit one from long distance. Given the seriousness of this rivalry, look for Griffin to come out aggressive early on. After a scuffle with the Utah Jazz, Griffin vowed to retaliate in the future and with the history between these two teams, don't be surprised if we see a multitude of technical fouls and even some ejections.
The Clippers' front line is athletic and a problem for most NBA teams. Luckily for the Warriors, they have Andrew Bogut protecting the rim, but when he's not in the game they will need a collective effort to contain DeAndre Jordan and Griffin. The Warriors have to win the rebound battle and limit second chance opportunities. The Clippers can get up and down the floor and their athleticism can be a cause for concern. The Warriors need to limit their transition offense and avoid giving up dunks and easy baskets to Jordan and Griffin.
This will be the first game played at Oracle Arena this year. After spending a week in Los Angeles and traveling to the Midwest, the Warriors finally get to play in front of their home crowd. Fans haven't been this excited about the Warriors in a long time and they will surely have the place rocking tonight when they play the Clippers. The Warriors need to use that and put this game away early. Leave no doubt and send the Clippers home with a demoralizing loss.
