Review: The Simpsons Movie (2007)
Directed by: David Silverman
Premise: A feature length adaptation of the animated television series. Homer Simpson (voice of Dan Castellaneta) creates a natural disaster in Lake Springfield and the EPA responds by dropping a huge dome over the town, isolating it from the rest of the world. The people of Springfield turn on the Simpson family and it is up to Homer to take responsibility for his actions and save the city.
What Works: The Simpsons Movie is an exceptional comedy. As an animated film adapted from a television show, the picture realizes one of its inherent dilemmas: it is required by necessity to take The Simpsons to a bigger level but it also has to keep the story and the characters recognizably close to the look, style, and humor of the television series. The filmmakers have successfully walked this line and delivered a film that is recognizable as The Simpsons but has more impressive animation than the television show and includes a story and comedic elements that fit the feature length presentation. The Simpsons Movie pushes boundaries that the television program never could, including satire of racial and religious issues, spoofs on other animated films, and sexual innuendo that is still PG-13 but beyond the limits of network television. The result is a film that is literally funny from beginning to end. The film bombards the viewer with joke after joke, either in Homer's idiotic reasoning, a background gag, or a self conscious bit of satire, and often times these elements work in tandem to create scenes that are very rich with fun. One of the more admirable qualities about The Simpsons television show, especially when it started in the late 1980s, is its ability to be subversive. In the years following, the subversive and boundary pushing qualities of the show were diminished by familiarity and by more outrageous competition from shows like South Park and Family Guy. The Simpsons Movie is able to return to that initial daring and the film reminds audiences why this show has been as successful as it has.
What Doesn't: The film does not use many of the supporting characters of the Simpsons universe and instead crams nearly every possible character into the background of the film or includes them in a brief walk-on. While it is nice to see to see that the film stays with the Simpson family and uses them to create a solid storyline, enthusiasts of the show might be disappointed that the rich universe of the show has largely been ignored.
Bottom Line: After years of rumors, The Simpsons Movie finally delivers the goods both for hardcore fans of the series and for passive viewers, capitalizing on the best elements of the television show. Unlike many feature adaptations of television programs, this film is more than a longer version of the weekly episodes and it takes The Simpsons to a new level.
Episode: #150 (July 29, 2007)


MANCHESTER, N.H. - The Iraq war may be officially over, but troops are still being deployed in Afghanistan and elsewhere, and for hundreds of New Hampshire service members, some of the toughest battles are being fought here at home.
For many veterans who return to the Granite State, the battle is far from over and, from physical injuries and physiological issues, to finding jobs, support is needed.
Peter Collins, clinical director for the Deployment Cycle Program, New Hampshire, says his group consists of more than 70 care coordinators around the state to help vets with a variety of issues.
"The psychological and physical injuries associated with war, and also the unique stressors of the deployment cycle itself - whether it's relationship stuff, child stuff, financial assistance - we link service members and family members up with job-finders."
The program is funded in part by the Department of Defense and a private effort called "Veterans Count," which is part of the Easter Seals of New Hampshire. So far, it has assisted more than 1800 New Hampshire service members and families, and Collins says there are between 500 and 600 active cases.
He says many people don't realize that between 45 and 50 percent of the boots on the ground are National Guard members and reservists, many of whom have been deployed more than once. The strain on families can be tremendous.
"We're also working on strengthening marriages, on making sure that schools are aware of the deployment cycle and more aware of what children they have in schools who have family members who are deployed, so that they can better interpret perhaps some changes, some adjustment problems that kids are having."
Collins says the Deployment Cycle Program, which began in 2005, is the first of its kind in the U.S., and he hopes other states will follow with similar programs. New Hampshire service members and families who are in the deployment cycle are eligible for services.

Rabbi's Blog | An Israeli flag on the moon!
April 12, 2019 lindsey Articles, Latest News, Rabbi's Blog
Chaverim Yekarim,
Ok, so it was not the soft lunar landing for which the project had hoped and planned for more than 8 years. It was a crash landing of sorts after Israel had become the 7th country in the world to enter the moon's orbit. BUT…make no mistake, there is now an Israeli flag on the moon. It may be torn and tattered, but it is there.
Countless "watch parties" sprung up to observe the historical event yesterday evening. Israel's President, Reuven Rivlin, hosted dozens of children in his Presidential home in Jerusalem for the fateful show. Once connection with the space shuttle was lost, once it became clear the attempt did not succeed, a decision lingered. How would Israel react to the obvious disappointment?
The answer soon became clear as the President began singing Israel's national anthem, HaTikvah, and talking about Israel's historical accomplishment. He, as did Prime Minister Netanyahu and every other Israeli leader, broadcast hope and optimism, teaching those kids, and us all, a lesson in Jewish pride and perseverance. For no small reason is the anthem called HaTikvah / The Hope. It is a hope that has accompanied our People for thousands of years and will continue to at all moments of our lives…even if things do not go as perfectly as planned.
Apart from the sheer excitement, the lunar drama provided a much-needed respite from Israel's political drama. In nail-biting fashion, Netanyahu's Likud Party eked out a victory and has a fairly clear path forward to forming a right-wing coalition for Israel's 21st Knesset. Israel is, thus, headed for a 5th term with Benjamin Netanyahu at the helm, soon crowning him Israel's longest-serving Prime Minister when he surpasses Israel's founder, David Ben Gurion, this summer.
Much has been said about the ugly tactics he used to win. Much has been said about his looming indictments and his sharp rightward swing. You can and should read much of this (especially from local sources like Times of Israel, and not from mainstream Western media.)
What I would like to add to this debate comes from our Torah portion this week, Metzora. In one of its most bizarre and fascinating episodes, we learn of an eruptive plague breaking out on a house. The priest would have to come inspect the house, diagnose the plague, and determine the house's cure: destruction or remediation. The priest's role has led generations of commentators to note that this plague was a physical manifestation of a spiritual infraction (thought to be a punishment for evil speech.)
As much evil speech has circulated throughout these election campaigns, I have heard many people declare there is a spiritual plague on our house in Israel. We should all disagree with this strongly. Israel's house is still in the process of construction, and it exists in a highly hostile neighborhood. As a result, old and familiar faces are sometimes preferred to unproven ones, especially by those who live in a small country with very little margin for error. Remarkably, Israel's robust democracy is alive and well with fair, transparent, and accessible elections.
As this election saga winds down, I think of the final image taken yesterday by the Bereshit space shuttle, a selfie with an Israeli flag and the words emblazoned, "Am Yisrael Chai." Indeed, the People of Israel live, and we live strong.
On this Shabbat HaGadol, this Sabbath of Greatness before Pesach, we should all take pride in the miracle that is Israel. Let us redouble our efforts to support, to visit, to learn, and to help encourage her on her path to the moon.
P.S. on a note closer to home, please join us this Saturday for an amazing Camp Shabbat and Pizza Party, led by the amazing Carly Abramson from the Institute of Jewish Life. I'll be there in spirit and can't wait to celebrate Pesach with y'all in a bit over a week!
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Natan

Have your dental treatment done in dreamtime.
Facelab clinics are affiliated with dental practices that operate under the licenced banner 'Sleep Dentistry Melbourne'.
These affiliates of Facelab clinics are run by dental surgeons who work closely with specialist medical anaesthesiologists in purpose built anaesthetic facilities. In these facilities patients are 'put to sleep' in the same manner as for a hip replacement, nose job (rhinoplasty), appendectomy or cardiac by-pass surgery. In almost every case, patients are not administered with 'intravenous / twilight sedation' (that have recently been noted in the press for adverse reactions, overdoses and deaths), but are given a full and safe general anaesthetic.
Great for anxious, fearful and nervous patients who have been avoiding dental treatments.
This is a significantly safer way of performing sleep dentistry as opposed to a sedative being administered intravenously by a dentist with a university diploma in sedation.
Our anaesthetists use the very latest anaesthetic equipment ranging from 'Programmable Syringe Drivers' that accurately deliver precise doses of anaesthetic medication to 'Brain Wave Monitors' allowing the accurate delivery of just enough medication to maintain a sufficient level of anaesthesia avoiding overdoses and ensuring a fast recovery with minimal risk of undesirable side effects.
The beauty about sleep dentistry is that patients wake up from their anaesthetic without any knowledge, awareness or recollection of the procedures being performed. It alleviates the anxiety and fear that many people associate with dental procedures.
There is no procedure too little or too small for sleep dentistry, however patients must meet certain criteria first. To undergo sleep dentistry, patients must be in good health. If a patient has a medical problem or the procedure involves significant surgical risk, it will be most likely that they be seen by our specialist anaesthesiologist for a consultation prior to the treatment.

COVID-19 Emergency Declaration: Code Section 139 Uncertain; Leave-Sharing Policies Permitted
By Sarah Friedman, Marianna G. Dyson & S. Michael Chittenden on March 16, 2020
Posted in Employee Benefits, Employment Taxes, Fringe Benefits, Information Reporting, IRS
UPDATE: We have provided an updated analysis of the issues surrounding the availability of Section 139. Our original post is below.
On March 13, 2020, the President declared the COVID-19 pandemic to be an emergency under Section 501(b) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (the "Stafford Act"). The decision to declare an emergency is addressed in a letter from the President to Administration officials in which he explained that his decision to issue an emergency declaration was "based on the fact that our entire country is now facing a significant public health emergency."
Employers may be wondering whether this declaration provides an opportunity to offer "qualified disaster relief payments" under Internal Revenue Code Section 139 to employees as a means of mitigating the pandemic's effects. It is not entirely clear. Because the President declared an emergency—not a major disaster—it is not clear, until we get further guidance from the IRS that employers that they may rely on Code Section 139 as a means of providing tax-free benefits to their employees. Section 139 refers specifically to a declared disaster as do the regulations under section 165(i), which are cross-referenced in the section 139 rules. Less formal IRS guidance in the form of revenue procedures have conflated the two types of declarations in the past, however, and the IRS has indicated that for purposes of section 165(i), "a disaster includes an event declared a major disaster or an emergency." However, in the interim, employers may still adopt other policies, such as leave-sharing, that will ease the pandemic's toll on affected employees.
The Application of Code Section 139 Warrants IRS Guidance Immediately
The Stafford Act provides for the declaration of either a major disaster (Section 401) or an emergency (Section 501). In short, an emergency may be declared when federal assistance is needed "to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe," whereas a major disaster may be declared when a "natural catastrophe," such as a hurricane or draught, requires federal assistance to "alleviate[e] the damage, loss, hardship, or suffering caused thereby." An emergency declaration enables the federal government to provide assistance to state and local governments, whereas a major disaster declaration also allows for direct federal assistance to individuals.
The President declared the COVID-19 pandemic to be an emergency under Section 501(b) of the Stafford Act. The pandemic is not the result of (or cause of) a natural catastrophe, as that term is normally understood, but it remains to seem whether the IRS will view this declaration as triggering the application of relief under Code Section 139. Code Section 139 allows employers to provide tax-free qualified disaster relief payments to employees to help cover certain expenses caused by a "federally declared disaster," which could be interpreted to mean a major disaster declaration under Section 401 of the Stafford Act—not an emergency declaration under Section 501, such as the March 13, 2020, declaration. Therefore, it is critical that the IRS issue guidance to employers so that they can have comfort in relying on Code Section 139 to provide tax-free benefits to employees.
But even if the IRS were to issue guidance determining that the pandemic is a "federally declared disaster," Code Section 139 would still restrict the types of expenses employers could cover on a tax-free basis, and only those expenses not otherwise reimbursed, such as through insurance, would be eligible for exclusion. To be a qualified disaster relief payment under Code Section 139, the payment or reimbursement must be for either (1) "reasonable and necessary personal, family, living, or funeral expenses incurred as a result of a qualified disaster," or (2) "reasonable and necessary expenses incurred for the repair or rehabilitation of a personal residence or repair or replacement of its contents to the extent that the need for such repair, rehabilitation, or replacement is attributable to a qualified disaster." Wage payments are not listed as eligible expenses under Code Section 139, and the Joint Committee on Taxation has stated that "the [Code Section 139] exclusion does not apply to payments in the nature of income replacement, such as payments to individuals of lost wages, unemployment compensation, or payments in the nature of business income replacement." It is also unclear whether the purchase of, for example, protective gear would qualify as an eligible expense under Code Section 139, or whether an employee's status as an essential employee would affect the eligibility of any given expense. The IRS should issue expedient guidance on the applicability of Code Section 139 to specific types of payments driven by the pandemic as opposed to more common natural disasters, such as extra costs for childcare, delivery charges for groceries for quarantined individuals, and commuting expenses exceeding the employee's normal commuting cost for essential employees unable to use public transportation.
Covington will continue to monitor the Administration and Congress's response to the pandemic. We will update this blog if new guidance or legislation addresses the application of Code Section 139 under these circumstances.
Leave Banks and Other Measures to Help Employees
In the interim, employers are not powerless to help their workforces navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. One option employers may wish to consider is the adoption of a leave-sharing policy.
Leave-sharing allows employees to contribute unused leave to an employer-sponsored leave bank. Employers may structure the leave-sharing policy to accommodate different types and units of donated leave, and can determine what limitations apply to its use. For example, employers should limit the use of the leave bank to those employees who have already exhausted their own paid leave and are experiencing a medical emergency, which, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, may encompass an employee's own illness or caring for a family member who is ill. Leave taken from the bank is includable in the recipient employee's gross income and is subject to employment taxation, but the donor employee is not taxed on the donated leave. Employers, who decide to adopt leave-sharing policies, may also impose limits on the amount of leave that an employee can donate, and the amount of leave employees can withdraw from the bank. Employers should put in place procedures governing how applications for leave will be processed. Employees generally should not be permitted to select individual employees to receive donated leave.
Employers may also want to consider other measures to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. Covington has prepared a COVID-19 Checklist for U.S. Employer Considerations, which highlights key legal, business, and practical concerns employers should keep in mind over the coming weeks and months. The checklist and other resources are consolidated in Covington's COVID-19: Legal Business and Toolkit. Employers are invited to join Covington experts on Tuesday, March 17, for a webinar on employment and benefits issues related to the pandemic; a registration link is on the Toolkit landing page.

Did you know that this week is Pollinator Week?
If you live in Arizona, you might want to check out the National Pollinator Week celebration at Tohono Chul in Tucson. It is going to be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday June 22, 2013. The first 50 families attending the event will get to make their own native bee habitat to take home. There will be special showings of Wings of Life, a new film from Disneynature narrated by Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, and a talk by bee specialist Dr. Stephen Buchmann of Pollinator Partnership. Sounds like a great way to spend the day!
If you don't live in Arizona, you can find your state on the clickable map at www.pollinator.org to locate events near you.
When talking about pollinators, we often hear that they are responsible for the viable production of about one third of our food supply. Although we think of grocery store staples like apples, squash and almonds as foodstuffs that require pollination, cactus fruit – or "tunas" as they are also called – are another source of food that requires pollinators.
It is almost impossible to look into a cactus flower and not find a bee. Most of them are covered with copious amounts of pollen.
The flowers of the cactus genus Opuntia even have a special mechanism that causes the stamens to move when they are touched. You can see it in action in this video.
The movement of the stamens is thought to add more pollen to any pollinators that enter the flower.
A layperson might say it's almost like the bee is getting a "hug" from the flower.
The end result is that the flowers are pollinated and produce lovely red fruit that make delicious jelly and syrup.
Even if they aren't consumed by humans, some 75% of flowering plants need an animal to carry pollen from flower to flower. Pollination is an incredibly important service that we need to be aware of and support.
What are you doing to celebrate pollinator week?

HardBall III is a multiplatform baseball video game developed by MindSpan and published by Accolade between 1992 and 1994 for the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo Entertainment System and DOS platforms. The game is licensed by the Major League Baseball Players Association and is the sequel to HardBall II.

The console versions are simplified versions of the HardBall series found on the personal computers of the time. Season stats are logged through a lengthy password in these versions due to the lack of a hard disk drive that was already common in the more expensive personal computers at that time.

Release
In November 1993, Accolade signed an agreement with Atari Corporation to be a third-party developer for the recently released Atari Jaguar and licensed five titles from their catalog to Atari Corp. in order to be ported and released for the system, with HardBall III (then titled Al Michaels Announces HardBall III) being among the five licensed games and it was first announced in early 1994. It was originally planned for a Q3 1995 release date and was being developed by NuFX. However, the port went unreleased for unknown reasons.

Reception
Computer Gaming World in 1992 said that "HardBall III looks like another winner", complementing its emphasis on action while also providing simulation functions. The magazine praised its "glorious" support for VGA graphics and sound cards, and concluded that the game "packs more features in a single box than any of its competitors". Reviewing the Super NES version, GamePro praised the huge number of options and player stats, but felt the rough graphics and "choppy" player movements reduce the game to merely above average.

WPCA AGM 2014
The Western Province Cricket Association (WPCA) held its 23rd Annual General Meeting at Sahara Park Newlands on Wednesday, 03 September 2014.
This was the last AGM for the retiring WPCA's and Western Cape Cricket's Chief Executive Officer Professor Andre Odendaal.
Looking at 2013/14 successes, WPCA President Beresford Williams said, "The 2013/14 season was a very good one on and off the field. This season Cricket South Africa rated Western Province as the top affiliate in cricket activities and performances, and this was a season which once again saw us produce numerous national players."
Omar Sonday was voted new treasurer for WPCA following the resignation of former treasurer Gerhardi Odendaal earlier this year. The rest of the executive committee will see another year and new elections will take place at the 2015 AGM.
WPCA adopted a New Constitution which aligns itself to the Cricket South Africa (CSA) Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI). A resolution was tabled which incorporated that WPCA have noted the spirit and the intent of the CSA Transformation Indaba that set as one of its objectives the alignment of Affiliate MOI's with that of CSA, duly recognised this imperative. Western Province Cricket Association further recognises that the transition from its incumbent constitution required areas of fundamental changes. This required a process of full consultation with its members.
Therefore, in presenting the amended constitution that captures the issues raised during the consultative process, now propose this constitution for adoption, having taken into account that:
The WPCA Constitution ("the New Constitution") was duly canvassed and the principles were accepted in its draft format.
The New Constitution shall be adopted and come into effect from the date of WPCA's 2014 AGM.
The New Constitution may be further amended to fully capture the spirit and intent of the CSA Indaba and to consolidate the WPCA's internal structures. In the interest of continuity and institutional knowledge, it is deemed necessary that the incumbent office bearers continue to serve until the date of the 2015 AGM. In this respect, the composition and numbers of the Board will be consistent with the existing Executive until it is changed at the 2015 AGM.
In keeping with the intent of the new constitution, the current executive is mandated to forthwith co-opt at least three independent members ("directors") to serve between the AGM's of 2014 and 2015.
Thereafter, all positions would become vacant or filled through a process of staggering of election of the Board of Directors.
Western Province Cricket Association has ensured that all matters/provisions relevant in the CSA MOI have been imported into the Western Province Cricket Association new constitution.
All further structures required for the implementation of the New Constitution shall be put in place between the 2014 and 2015 AGM's.

1 Action Theory for Creativity and Process Fu Jen Catholic University Bernard C. C. Li Keywords: A. N. Whitehead, Creativity, Process, Action Theory for Philosophy, Abstract The three major assignments for the philosophical community in contemporary society are: 1. universalization and globalization resulted from technological development 2. interactions between human beings and the environment, the ecology or even the aerospace 3. multi-cultural concerns aroused by an awareness of historical awaking as well as related issues in studies of cultural boundaries and comparative philosophy To try to respond to the above-mentioned three assignments, the author suggests appropriating the thoughts of modern philosopher, Alfred North Whitehead ( ); his philosophy of organism and the concept of nature can be used to generate an action theory for creativity and process by which the human society can bring out an action theory of philosophy, which completes the function of philosophical praxis. 1
2 I. Introduction: The three major assignments for the philosophical community in contemporary society are: 1. universalization and globalization resulted from technological development 2. interactions between human beings and the environment, the ecology or even the aerospace 3. multi-cultural concerns aroused by an awareness of historical awaking as well as related issues in studies of cultural boundaries and comparative philosophy. Facing these three major assignments, what does the philosophy community have to offer or what action theory can it offer to answer the questions? It seems to me that theories of contemporary philosopher, Alfred North Whitehead ( ) can be appropriated to answer them. II. Whitehead s Theory of Nature and Process Grounded upon the concept of creativity of Bergson, Alfred North Whitehead developed it a step further, and regarded it as a category of the ultimate. For Whitehead, creativity is an ever-adapting and ever-renewing conglomeration; a process that involves the becoming from one to many or that of from many to one; or a process that relates the inclination of changes to that of the existence then back to changes again. The universe is engaged in an ever-changing process; therefore his definition of nature is not limited to the environment we live in but the totality of the universe, which encompasses even the smallest star from the remotest galaxy. As the universe comes as the result of a process of creative advance, therefore, it will keep on changing, renewing, formulating new combinations, and revealing new structures. That is to say, nature itself is a process of creative advance. There are two key points in Whitehead s philosophical thoughts: first, about nature. Nature is engaged in an ever-changing and ever-regenerating process, which indicates that nature is an organic entity, with each and every part related and inter-related with others. Second, in 2
3 regard to the relationships between men and nature, nature precedes; men are but a part of nature. Natural environment is indispensable in human life, and maintains close relationships and interactions with it. Men are blessed with cognitive capacity through nature, and the cognitive process itself renders transformation to the totality of nature. From the philosophy of Whitehead, we see the possibility of generating an action theory for creativity and process by way of knowing the relationship to nature and the inter-relationship between men and nature. A well-rounded action theory should be based upon empirical rationalism, which helps mature the theory. Empirical ration functions as a medium which facilitates encounters between men and the world they live in; and it is through this medium men come to process and formulate an action theory based upon the data steered in. III. Whitehead s Philosophy of Organism Whitehead further sees creativity as the category of the ultimate to multiply from one to many, from changes to being, and then from being to changes again. For Whitehead, the universe is undergoing this incessant process of creativity. Definition of nature not limited to our surrounding environment, but it indicates the ontological existence of the universe. As the universe is itself a creative process, it is constantly undertaking changes, and generating new combinations, and revealing fresh structures. Therefore, nature is a process of creative advance. By the phenomena of the existence of materials, Whitehead develops his treatise about how the evolution of nature, and how the process of evolution is equivalent to the creative process of the universe, which allows all the beings to formulate a new natural conjugation. i. The Concept of Reality In his treatise on science and philosophy, Science and the Modern World, Whitehead calls his philosophy, philosophy of organism. Later, when he discusses his philosophical ideas, he favors to use the term philosophy of organism too. In his most significant work, Process and Reality, 3
4 Whitehead presents his cell-theory of actuality, he said, The philosophy of organism is a cell-theory of actuality. Each ultimate unit of fact is a cell-complex, not analyzable into components with equivalent completeness of actuality. 1 (334) The actual world is in the process of becoming, through which the actual entities come into being. As all the actual beings are creations, they can thus be called actual occasions. Many of the beings possess the potentiality of entering into an actuality and becoming one of the elements in a synthesized creation. This potentiality is a metaphysical feature that is common among all the real and unreal existences. Each and every being possesses its potentiality, which with the natural phenomenon of the universe can manifest the innate significance of its existence and constitute the process philosophy on the metaphysical level. ii. The Concept of Event One of Whitehead s earlier tasks in the development of philosophy of organism is to substitute substance with the new metaphysically primitive notion which he calls, an actual occasion as the ultimate fact of nature. Whitehead suggests, We are accustomed to analyse these events into three factors, time, space, and material. In fact, we at once apply to them the concepts of the materialistic theory of nature. We perceive one unit factor in nature; and this factor is that something is going on then there. We are so trained, both by language and by formal teaching and by the resulting convenience to express our thoughts in terms of this materialistic analysis that intellectually we tend to ignore the true unity of the factor really exhibited in sense-awareness. It is this unit factor, retaining in itself the passage of nature, which is the primary concrete element discriminated in nature. These primary factors are what I mean 1 Alfred North Whitehead.

5 by events. 2 (250) Whitehead s theory of event is obviously under the influence of theory of relativity by modern physicists such as Albert Einstein. Inspired by Einstein s theory on seeing event as the basis of the physical world and treating the human body as the most concrete and direct reflection of experiences, Whitehead argues that human life and the universe come as the result of the combination a multitude of occasions. The actions and speeches of myself, or the activities of the plants and trees, and the movement of the whole universe are to be seen as event. Whitehead s philosophical system itself is an organic body, and thus also an actual occasion. Based upon Whitehead s philosophy of organism, we can start from any actual occasion, then extend and associate it to another. That is, we can perceive the total philosophy of Whitehead with a comprehensive understanding his theories of event and real existence. 3 ( ) The most important thing in event is what the perceiver perceives the temporal and spatial relationship between the event and natural world, the structural features in relationship to quality and quantity, which locate the situation of object 4. (163) iii. The Concept of Object Human beings can have cognizance again and again, and it is this ability which helps them to recognize the everlasting and ever-renewing objects in nature. Whitehead calls this factor, object. As Whitehead said, Objects convey the permanences recognized in events, and are recognized as self-identical amid different circumstances; that is to say, the same object is recognized as related to diverse events. Thus the self-identical object maintains itself amid the flux of events 5 (62-63) 2 The Concept of Nature. from F. S. C. Northrop and Mason W. Gross eds. Alfred North Whitehead: An Anthology.

6 iv. The Concepts of Ingression and Prehension The ingression of objects involves a mutual relationship between the subject and the object. That is, object and the occasion cannot be definitely separated and exist independently. In metaphysical epistemology, ingression means being prehended by a subject. Epistemologically, prehension is the broadest, most basic and the most fundamental activity of knowing, which is not necessary equal to conscious and self-awaring cognizance. Yet, in metaphysical cosmology and ontology, prehension is the root activity and process for the constitution of concrete existence, and it is through the mutual actions of prehension that formulate this concrete existence. Within this creative process, each object in nature serves as each others prehension; that is to say every object can actively impose ingression, but at the same time will passively receive prehension. Moreover, prehension should not only be understood from the physiological aspect, but also from the metaphysical. Human consciousness is an accumulative process of a broader flux of prehension experiences, which to a certain point help us develop our awareness and consciousness of the world. Therefore, human beings exist in the nature, and they also exercise their cognitive capacity in the backdrop of nature. Men should not see their cognition as the only determining factor of natural world; on the contrary, they need to perceive men, born in nature with innate cognition, as an integral part of the whole in nature in observing the natural environment. In other words, though men differ from other creatures in that they have cognitive capacity, still they are equal to other creatures. It does not make sense to isolate or separate men from the rest of the world. The proper attitude is to have men recognize themselves as part of nature in their efforts to understand nature. Also important to note is that aim of the process is not to explain nature but to see cognition as an activity which in itself will bring about changes internally. IV. Action Theory within Creativity and Process The ultimate aim of human actions is to seek changes to arrive at a status that differs from the 6
7 status quo. Changes may not necessarily bring out a result that proves to be better than the status quo, but they have at least fulfilled the essential quality of action. Actions involve two functions: first to seek improvement or perfection, and second, to perform action. Self-realization cannot be fulfilled without changes. Based upon the theory of human nature, philosophers would argue that the goal of seeking is to be limited to individual improvement; more important than that, is the intent to approach goodness with the whole human community. Therefore, the momentum of action is an imitation of goodness. From the following chart, we can see the relationship between the content, attitude and activities of philosophy, and how through their interplay philosophy can initiate action. V. The Action Theory of Philosophy Socrates said that, An unexamined life is not worth living. Therefore, when men encountered difficulties or dilemmas, it is normal to feel a sense of helplessness or loss. Yet, human beings desire more than just solving the problems at hand, they want to develop and own the ability to solve problems. Therefore, in many ways, philosophers are in a better position than others in tackling difficult problems in that they cannot only observe and analyze the problem at 7
8 hand, but can also see through what lies behind the problem. It is with this ability to perceive the problem behind the problem that philosophers possess the power to solve the problems. The ability to perceive can be applied on three different levels, on the self, on the others, and on relationships. Since ancient times, philosophy is alternately called, the science of science ; therefore, is a way of thinking that generates actions. It was not until the age of enlightenment when science started to take off that philosophy is forced to abandon its role as a science that is capable of creating action. With the development of scientific branching, philosophy further drifts away from a discipline of praxis. Yet, the tide is nowadays reverted when people taste the failure of scientific branching. The modern task of our time is to promote interdisciplinary integration, which can re-adjust the role that philosophy play; when philosophy can be regarded again as a science of praxis, it can engage in actions to help people through philosophical counseling. Broadly speaking, philosophical counseling is defined as a method which uses language, wisdom, axioms and logic to help people; through the axioms that are inherited to us by the philosophers who have reflected in-depth the various experiences in life, people can be propelled to think in a more comprehensive manner, and by way of these reflections, they can achieve new insights. This type of philosophical counseling may sound like no more than an impromptu conversation, yet as these philosophical axioms are structured upon a well-rounded argument and thought system, when philosophical counselors have a good command of the philosophical language and logic, they can inspire people change their mindset or their life. In a narrower sense, action theory in philosophy is restricted to the practice of helping people with the philosophical system. What I mean by philosophical system here is a set of complete treatise of philosophy, including metaphysics, epistemology and value philosophy. The development of modern philosophy has focused too much upon epistemology but neglected metaphysics, which distorts the balance of the philosophical system. The influence of scientism and empiricism has been so immense that the enriching capacity of philosophy becomes so flawed that it no longer can reach out to people in need. When modern philosophy cannot formulate a complete philosophical system, it is inadequate to investigate ways of helping people. Therefore, to explore the full capacity of philosophical counseling, we have to recourse all the way back to Aristotle and the medieval philosophers who have a comprehensive and universal set of theory in humanism. It is this set of cross references between metaphysics, epistemology and action, then from action to epistemology and existence a system replete with mutual support that can serve as a firm ground for the development of philosophical counseling, which is the modern embodiment of the action theory of philosophy. 8

'O let them be left, wildness and wet' As Kingfishers Catch Fire is a selection of Gerard Manley Hopkins' incomparably brilliant poetry, ranging from the ecstasy of 'The Windhover' and 'Pied Beauty' to the heart-wrenching despair of the 'sonnets of desolation'. Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions. Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889). Hopkins' Poems and Prose is available in Penguin Classics.


About 10 million seniors currently rely on others for daily care, a number that will only increase as more of the nation's 78 million baby boomers enter old age.
Millions of families are beginning to grapple with the one major health expense for which most Americans are not insured: long-term care.
About 10 million seniors currently rely on others for daily care, such as help getting dressed, preparing meals or taking medication. That number will only increase as more of the nation's 78 million baby boomers enter old age. Nearly 7 in 10 people will need some form of long-term care after turning 65, according to the Georgetown University Public Policy Institute.
Nursing homes are the most intensive form of long-term care, including round-the-clock medical supervision. That level of care comes with a steep price tag: the average cost of a semi-private room last year was $81,000, according to a survey by insurance provider MetLife. A private room ran more than $90,500.
Fortunately most seniors won't require extended nursing home care. Only 5 percent will need five years or more in a nursing home.
Less intensive alternatives include home-care services that offer help with meals and household chores, and boarding houses where a small number of seniors live with on-site caretakers. But like nursing homes, these services aren't covered by Medicare, the government's health care plan for seniors, or private health insurance.
Insurance policies for long-term care are available, but only about 5 percent of U.S. adults have them. Most families don't plan for long-term care because often the need comes unexpectedly: an elder takes a bad fall or suffers a stroke. Cost is another issue, because policies can run $1,000 to $8,000 a year, depending on the seniors' age, health and other factors.
"The people who can really afford long-term care insurance often have enough fixed income that they don't really need it," says Bradley Frigon, vice president of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys.
Groups like the National Association for Professional Geriatric Care Managers recommend that families discuss various options for long-term care and how to pay for them — before they become necessary.
"Once you're already sick that's not the time to start changing doctors, moving to a new place and depending on your kids," says Bunni Dybins, a senior care adviser with LivHome in Los Angeles.
— MEDICAL ALERT SYSTEMS: Perhaps the cheapest and least intrusive option, seniors can use medical alert systems to get assistance in the event of an emergency. Services like Philips Lifeline and Life Alert consist of a necklace or wristband with an emergency button. When pressed, a dispatcher who has access to the senior's profile and medical history is called. Depending on the situation he or she will call a neighbor, family member or medical center. Services generally cost between $30 and $50 a month. Some companies also offer extra motion-sensor technology that automatically contacts a dispatcher if it detects the user has fallen. For more, visit: http://www.lifelinesys.com/content/home .
— ADULT DAY CARE: Much like day care for children, adult day care generally operates during business hours Monday through Friday, providing activities and meals for seniors. Perhaps most importantly, these facilities enable caregivers to go to work, run errands or simply take a break.

HOLMES AND THE PONTIFF PART 1
"I WAS EXCEEDINGLY preoccupied by that little affair of the Vatican cameos," Sherlock Holmes said, "and in my anxiety to oblige the Pope I lost touch with several interesting English cases." This, according to no less than Holmes chronicler Dr. John H. Watson in his account of The Hound of the Baskervilles, 1902.
Watson makes no other mention of this pontifical affair, but fortunately the eminent Sherlockian Michael Harrison offers details in his authoritative book, The World of Sherlock Holmes.
The World of Sherlock Holmes, Michael Harrison, Dutton & Co., 1975.
According to Harrison's whimsy, with even some historical facts, the tale involves salacious art of the second century A.D., a Pontifical Navy founded in 849 with a possible link to Holmes kin 900 years later, Hussars marauding the Vatican in 1849, and then a London auction almost 40 years later that led to an amateur art collector's revelation. There's also a complex love match involving Queen Victoria's grandson Eddy. And a tit-for-tat on the part of the reigning pontiff, Leo XIII.
Who says Sherlockian research is boring? And no wonder this SimanaitisSays recounting calls for Parts 1 and 2, today and tomorrow.
Sherlock Holmes, the world's first consulting detective. Portrait by Sidney Paget, c. 1891. Image from The World of Sherlock Holmes.
Author! Author! Michael Harrison, pen name of Maurice Desmond Rohan, 1907–1991, was a Sherlockian scholar and author of, among other books, In the Footsteps of Sherlock Holmes, 1972; and The London of Sherlock Holmes, 1972. In 1964, Harrison was honored with the title Irregular Shilling by The Baker Street Irregulars.
Holy Erotica! Harrison writes, "The cameos, Alexandrian work of the second century A.D., were of exquisite workmanship…." However, he notes that "obscenity, not the workmanship" provided their lasting aesthetic value, not to say their appeal to the Vatican, which was founded in the fourth century A.D.
Ahoy, Your Holiness! Following a Muslim raid of Rome in 843, the Marina Pontificia was formed to protect the Papal States.

The Papal Navy helped defeat the Saracens in the Battle of Ostia, the ancient Roman port on the Tyrrhenian coast, in 849.
The Battle of Ostia, a Raphael fresco, 1514–1515.
Holmes/Papal Links. Harrison constructs a (tenuous) papal connection based on Holmes' comment, "My grandmother was a sister of Vernet, the French painter." Harrison continues, "Sir Edwin [Edward?] Sherrinford, Holmes' maternal grandfather, had married Violette, daughter of Antoine Charles Horace Vernet (1758–1835), better known as 'Carle' or even 'English' Vernet."
Sir Edward [Edwin?] Sherrinford, identified by Harrison as "the maternal grandfather of Sherlock Holmes." Image from The World of Sherlock Holmes.
As another example of garbled Christian names, Watson's literary agent, Arthur Conan Doyle, once misread the detective as "Sherrinford" Holmes in an early manuscript.
Harrison continues, "But this marriage between a Vernet and an Englishman was not without precedent: … a Vernet had married, in a previous century, an Englishman with what must be the most improbable appointment in history: John Parker, Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Forces of His Holiness the Pope."
Not only improbable, but to me unconfirmable: The Internet raises a slew of Parkers in the 18th- and 19th-century Royal Navy, but the sole John appears to lack any pontifical cred.
In any event, "What's more natural, then," Harrison says, "that the Vatican, knowing of Holmes' family relationship with its former naval commander-in-chief, should appeal to Holmes' sense of family loyalty to get the late Commander Parker's still-surviving employers out of several messes?"
Tomorrow, even after Holmes saves His Holiness's bacon, there's a prenup squabble between Queen Victoria and Pope Leo XIII. ds
