Does anyone know if Medalist has a dress code? So, just a reminder that silly season golf is here. The PGA Tour is off this week, but Justin Thomas played a practice round Friday at Medalist GC in Jupiter, Fla. And via his Instagram, it's clear at one point he put himself in a tough spot: a muddy lie below the green. Unplayable lie? For you and me, absolutely. But JT peeled off his shirt and pulled off the shot. He punctuated it by taunting the camera with, "You like that?" https://www.instagram.com/p/BrY1QJ4lwAf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Yep, it was a good shot. But what we'd like to know is this: what were the stakes in this game that prevented Thomas from taking a penalty drop outside the swamp? Something tells me a skin was on the line, am I right? That terrible pun means it's time to wrap this up. We now return to your regularly scheduled silly season golf.


A magazine like Room of One's Own is published because each member of the editorial collective loves the words of women. It has a history of over twenty-five years, and hundreds of women have valued having access to a Canadian women's literary magazine. The women who started this magazine almost thirty years ago saw a need for a venue for poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction written by, for, and about women. Today, this need remains.
I find community in the words of our writers—in the stories they tell, in the moments that a piece of poetry captures. These words are why Room of One's Own exists. As we transition, the words of our writers will guide us. We invite you to take advantage of our subscription drive so that you can continue to enjoy this community of writers. And so we can continue to offer this unique venue for women's words that captures all of our hearts and minds.
There is a prevailing sense of isolation and alienation in my paintings. I want the viewer to wonder what is beyond the borders of the canvas. I paint to capture shifts in mood and the transitory nature of the world and our place within it. The viewer should never be completely comfortable with my works. They are not conventional portraits but rather use the figure as a vehicle for eliciting an emotional and/or intellectual unease.

Revealing The Hidden Costs of Building Automation Systems
December 16, 2020 BAS Education, HVAC ControlsWebinarScott Holstein
In this educational webinar, our Director of Marketing and Business Development, Scott Holstein pulls back the curtain on the hidden costs of building automation systems and explains how the cost of operating and maintaining these systems is often overlooked in the initial purchase decision.
Webinar Transcript
[00:00:17.910] – Simon Berry
Hello, everyone, and welcome to our webinar today.
[00:00:22.050]
First of all, I'd like to thank you for attending. We're excited to have you here and look forward to sharing with you the hidden costs of a building automation system. This topic should be of particular interest if you are involved in any financial or budgetary decisions. For those who aren't familiar with Computrols, we are a US manufacturer of building automation controls based in Gretna outside of New Orleans, and we are primarily known for a HVAC control system. Some of our differentiating factors would be a lifetime warranty, our ability to integrate to just about any third party system, including a lot of our competitors, legacy systems and our drive to empower the end user through simplicity in everything we do or make. We excel in removing ongoing lifecycle costs from building automation systems, and it's prevalent in everything we do.
Allow me to introduce you to our director of sales and marketing, Mr. Scott Holstein, who's been with Computrols for over five years now and like me, came into the industry brand new and having to learn it from scratch. Scott has quickly become an authority within the industry by creating and pushing out a huge amount of educational content, such as today's webinar, that will better inform those in our industry and shine a small spotlight on building automation so it may hit the radar of school leavers.
With that, I'll hand you over. Scott?
[00:01:58.220] – Scott Holstein
Thank you, Simon, and I'll briefly turn on my video on here, so everybody can see me and know that this is a live recording here, but thank you for coming to our webinar today. This is a passionate topic for me and Simon, and really everybody at Computrols. As Simon mentioned a lot of what we do at Computrols is aimed at reducing a lot of those ongoing hidden costs that we're going to talk about today. So without further ado, I'm going to go ahead and jump into our topic.
So when we look at building automation systems as a whole, particularly on the front end, they are typically going to be a capital expense. And because they are a capital expense, that initial expenditure is really heavily scrutinized. A lot of times and I don't want to say more often than not, but oftentimes it's a it's a low bid situation, and when you start to consider the fact that you're going to have your building automation in your building for 5, 10, 20 years even, it's not quite the same as really any service partner as you're going to partner with for your building.
So we look at service partners for building automation systems as real partners, because they're going to be in your building on a regular basis. They're going to be working with you to ensure t hat your building's comfortable, safe, and ultimately that building occupants are happy with the environment. So today we're going to talk a little bit about the initial cost and then we're going to really focus on those operation and maintenance costs.
So the initial cost is going to vary quite a bit based on a few factors, the building itself is going to be the biggest factor. Is it a new building or is it an existing building? Obviously, with new buildings, you have a whole different process than you built with existing. Since we're all mostly working with existing buildings today, that's going to be our focus. Then you think about the size of the building. If your building is larger, it's going to tend to have more controllers, more sensors, which is going to lead to some additional costs.
You also need to consider the industry when we start looking at critical environments like hospitals and data centers, those are really high demand facilities when it comes to automation systems and the fact that they need to be working perfectly almost at all times. And then we look at the application of the system. So are you upgrading your current system? Meaning are you just getting the latest and greatest hardware or software for that system? Typically with an upgrade, you're working with the same service partner with the same manufacturer, simply upgrading some pieces of that system.
Obviously, in a replacement situation, you're looking at a lot bigger investment. So you're talking about ripping out, replacing controllers, infrastructure and trying to really start from scratch in many scenarios. And then the third scenario is going to be integration. So are you going to be working with potentially a new service partner that's going to be leveraging some of that existing infrastructure? So all things that you need to take into account when you're looking at the initial costs, because ultimately that's going to affect the service partner and manufacturer that you choose to work with could greatly affect how much you end up spending on that ongoing maintenance and operational costs.
So this is a classic 80 20 situation where the majority of building operators are not really getting the most out of their building automation systems, and this can greatly impact the ongoing operational costs of a facility.
So we look at these numbers and we say, why, well why? Why do most building engineers not use the majority of their building automation systems? So a few different reasons. It could be the fact that you are just limited by your personal skill set. Does… Is your building engineer well-trained enough and have the background to be able to operate a building automation system.
You want them to be doing that. Something else could just be a lack of training. If if you have a new building engineer or even you have an existing building engineer with a new system, do they have the access to the level of training that they need to successfully run that system largely on their own, or are they going to be dependent on that service partner? And then all too often we see in our industry is they're, frankly, just limited by the system that they have or the service partner that they have.
They're limited by their password levels, what modules they have access to, and sadly, this is this is actually a business practice within the building automation industry, and it makes you more dependent on that service partner. So all the things that you want to consider, because really this is what is going to drive a lot of these ongoing costs.
So are you are you going to be able to do any of this in-house? And how much of it and how much of it you going to be dependent on your service partner for? So without the building, without the building operators being able to operate their BAS, obviously you're in a little bit of a bind there. And then we look at the maintenance agreements and something that I always tell building engineers is your maintenance agreement should really be commensurate with how comfortable you are operating this system on your own.
If you're pretty, savvy and you can solve most issues or you can troubleshoot with someone remotely even and get them and get those issues remedied, your maintenance agreement, maybe you don't need one at all. Maybe what you need is a few hours a month where somebody comes by and fixes the issues that you weren't able to solve and helps you troubleshoot. Maybe a maintenance agreement includes software updates.
You have to understand our software, our software updates, one – required, two – necessary and three – what is the cost of a software update? And is it giving me security patches? Is it actually giving me access to these new features that are going to be really helpful for operating the system? So you might have software updates included in there. Sometimes maintenance agreements simply give building operators 'access to service'. So there may not be any number of support hours included in that maintenance agreement. By paying for this maintenance agreement, you simply have easier and quicker access to getting service on your building when you do have problems.
And you may still have to pay for that visit, however, you're going to get quicker response times and things like that. So you want to understand what comes along with that maintenance agreement and if they're going to be additional costs on top of that.
Let me look at adding new components to your system, so oftentimes in an integration, for example, you're you're coming in and you're going to talk to third party controllers, you're going to be using a lot of existing infrastructure. But what happens when you need to add a new wing to your hospital, when you need to do a tenant improvement project or you have a remodel or a renovation in your building? What what goes into adding new components, to that system?
So you want to understand what kind of flexibility does that manufacturer provide? Can you use third party parts? Does your service partner allow you to do some of this yourself if you have that capability? And then we talk about the migration path a lot when it comes to adding new components. So in an integration scenario, you're often going to be replacing the front end computer along with maybe the parent level controllers. Now, that's all good and fine when you do that initial integration.
Now you have to ask the question, what happens when one of my VAV controllers fail? How how does that work? Do we need to run a new wire out there or do we need to install a whole new trunk of VAVs? You really want to understand what that process looks like for all those varying scenarios, for what happens when you get a new tenant in my building and we do a tenant improvement project, and what happens if we add on to the building?
So understanding what that process looks like is really important. And then again, you go back to if you have the bandwidth as well as the capability in-house to do some of this, do you have the flexibility with your service partner to work on that together? Something else to consider is in a lot of scenarios, there are manufacturers out there who will charge by they'll charge license fees by the point count. So you're adding points to your system. Let's say you have ten thousand points and now you have now you have fifteen thousand.
Well, not only are you going to pay for the initial install of those controllers, the programming and everything that goes along with that, but there are license fees that are associated with point count. So you maybe have to upgrade your license to have more points or more users. And that's something that you want to understand because oftentimes those license fees are recurring on an annual basis. So when we're looking at those ongoing costs, that's something to really pay attention to.
And then we look at warranties, not all warranties are created equal, I think that's a fair statement. You want to understand what does this warranty cover? What do I get and how long does it last? Do I have a three year limited warranty? What are those limitations? And then what's the extent of that coverage? And ultimately, what's the process of making a claim on that warranty? So I have a controller fail within the first year, if I call my service partner, what's the process?
Do they come out and troubleshoot and then determine, OK, this needs to be replaced or this needs to be repaired? What is the potential downtime look like for that? Do they have access to parts? Do you have spare parts on site? Those are all things to take into consideration when you're looking at warranties, because, I mean, a warranty is great, but if you're stuck there waiting for a part, that downtime could be more costly than the money that you're going to save because you have the warranty. So it is something to consider when looking at that manufacturer and service partner. What does that agreement look like?
Then we talk about hardware failure. So this particularly comes into play with larger facilities. So when you're looking at a high rise building or a campus or any any building where you're looking at potentially hundreds of controllers or even more. Even at a one percent failure rate, you have, you know, potentially 10 controllers failing a year.
So you have to consider, is this something that I need a budget for? And then you have you have sensors, you have other pieces of equipment. So it's all something you need to take into consideration. Beyond that, initial purchases as controllers fail, how often are they going to fail? How many might be looking at replacing per year? Because that's not a cost that is necessarily something that we would just kind of toss into the O&M budget.
We may want to actually budget for that specifically. And then what is the process and cost for replacing those failed devices? So, again, a lot like the warranty I have this controller fail. What's next? Do I need to call out my service technician to come and troubleshoot, to come and ultimately replace it? When does the programming happen? How quickly does it happen? Because, again, downtime can be a big, big problem.
And then something that we look at a lot at Computrols is the life cycle cost of building automation systems, and we want to know where that product is in the life cycle, because one of the biggest problems we have in the building automation industry for the last really 30, 40 years has been planned obsolescence. When a manufacturer will make the decision to obsolete a product or piece of hardware or software and essentially say we cannot support this product anymore. And what you'll find is there's not really backward and forward compatibility built in a lot of these products either.
So where a manufacturer may come to their customer and say, look, this controller's been out there for 20 years now, we have newer technology that's replacing it, you need to upgrade to this or we can't support your system. You'll say, OK, well, I'll replace this controller then. And then they may also tell you, well, this new controller won't work with your version of software. So you're also going to have to upgrade that software as well.
And unfortunately, a lot of service partners aren't really aware of what the life cycle of those individual controllers in those products are. So it's difficult for them to even tell you where you are in that life cycle. But it's something that you need to be acutely aware of because it could mean an extremely large expenditure at some point where it's out of your hands and the manufacturer is telling your service partner, look, this is no longer supported.
Something that is also related to planned obsolescence in the building automation industry is we look at this as kind of a business decision as much as the technology is going to improve over the years if a controller's still working effectively, our stance on that is… It's working. Why replace something if it's not broken?
So what we try to do is build backward and forward compatibility to everything that we manufacture. But frankly, that's not usually the case. So it's just something that you want to be aware of is OK at investing in this now, how long down the road am I going to look at this? Am I going to need to look at this addressing obsolete controllers or obsolete software in the future?
So another cost to consider is potentially energy costs and something I always am very frank about is building automation systems do not save energy by themselves.
If you have one building automation system in place and you replace it with another building automation system and you have the exact same sequence of operations, chances are you're not going to save energy there. Building automation systems are a tool to manage your energy consumption and and how your system works. But by itself, it doesn't really promise energy savings. Ultimately, where you get energy savings within building automation systems is having the visibility to see inefficiencies. And we are always a big proponent of building engineers identifying a lot of these inefficiencies because they see the way the building starts up.
They know at what in the middle of the day where it gets hot and they know where they're getting the most cold calls from. So they understand the way that building operates. And if you can give them the visibility into that system to solve those problems, that's where energy savings can really come into play. Now, there are companies out there that will give you guarantees that they're going to reduce energy consumption. And that's that's fine and good. But you want to make sure that they've taken a good look at the way that your buildings are currently operating, because it's not the same as putting a BFD on an air handler.
It's just it's not going to, by itself, save energy. So, most of this cost savings that you do have with energy savings, it's established within the first few months these technicians will come in and they'll look at how your building is operating and they're going to tweak it and they're going to optimize it. And eventually it's going to get to a point where it's about as efficient as it can be without making people uncomfortable. Something else you'll have to consider also is when the season changes.
OK, now I need to I need to address that because now in my building is going to run differently and to be efficient running in the winter is going to look a lot differently than what it looks like to be efficient running in the summertime. So keeping in mind that a lot of the energy savings with building automation systems are going to be based on what kind of visibility you have into the system and the changes you're able to make.
We focus on monetary cost because that's really what is the most tangible to us, but there are some other non-monetary costs and other factors to consider in this decision.
So we look at something like comfort, in a let's say a, commercial real estate facility. If you work in commercial real estate, you know, the tenant satisfaction is the most important thing. And you also know if tenants are not comfortable, chances are when their lease is up, they may be looking elsewhere. So you look at how is my tenant retention affected by the comfort provided by HVAC, lighting, etc.
So, although there's not a direct monetary cost associated with comfort, there could be if that's really what ultimately could be a factor in driving a tenant away. And then we look at productivity. There are a lot of studies out there now that have shown that under the right conditions, the people are more productive, which I don't think should be too much of a surprise to anyone. But if you're running a corporate facility and you have hundreds of employees under that roof and you're not providing that optimal environment, what are you costing the company?
It's hard to put a monetary value on that, but there's certainly something to be said. And then we look at liability costs, so within building automation, you also you also include things like access control and fire alarm systems that have a very direct potential for liability. But since we've been living in this pandemic for coming up on 10, 11 months now, I think we're all really aware of the air that we breathe and the quality of that air.
And that's another potential liability is, are you able to guarantee that you are providing the best possible environment? So beyond what we talked about with, OK, you're going to have service calls, maintenance, warranties, etc, you're also going to have costs that aren't necessarily directly attributed to the building automation system. But at the end of the day, you can certainly apply that in this scenario.
So I pulled this quote from Gartner.com, and it's actually associated with I.T. networks and things like that, but I find that it really applies pretty well to building automation systems, but taking a total cost of ownership approach.
So that first cost is really what people are looking at. Almost all of the time these days where it's what is that initial cost, what does that capital expense, they're going to look at that they're going to beat up their vendors and try to get that number down as much as they can. But really, you need to start looking at it as what is it going to cost me to own this system over the life of this building or the life that you're associated with this building where you're talking about for college campuses, municipalities, hospitals, these buildings are typically owned and operated by the same group of people for decades.
And so you need to start considering, I think, beyond that initial cost, what is it going to cost to operate this system? And what is it going to cost to train my team and keep them up to speed? What productivity losses could there possibly be? So, again, I think that we'll send some information out on this as well. We've written a lot on the topic of lifecycle costs and total cost of ownership of these systems.
And it hits a lot of the points that we discussed today. But when you're looking at that initial investment, you really need to consider beyond what that first cost is.

Stefan Holmström MFA, Estill EMT
Opera Singer and Voice Teacher in Brighton
Alice Wheatley
"My lessons with Stefan have been incredibly helpful in improving my vocal technique. This has helped me achieve the best possible grade in singing exams for my music a level, and I now feel much more confident when I sing!"
Peter Townsend
"I am atypical as I started singing at 77, but Stefan ignored this and has helped me to achieve an immense improvement. He is encouraging, very clear in explaining how to control the voice, and effective at motivation. I am very happy with the ongoing changes in my more controlled, fuller and deeper singing voice. My family not only like the new sound, but in order to produce it I have had to change my posture and am no longer stooping, am two inches taller and far fitter. I only wish I had started with him many years ago."
"I started lessons because I wanted to improve my singing for an EP I was recording. Stefan is extremely knowledgeable and I noticed improvements after just the first session. It's been great to learn new techniques and understand better how my voice works."
Nick Boston
"I have learned a lot from Stefan about voice production and how to improve the sound I make, and have also gained confidence in my singing. I found preparing for an ABRSM Grade 8 exam gave great focus to my lessons, enabled me to sing new repertoire and without Stefan's guidance, I am sure I would never have achieved a Distinction in the exam."
Geraldine McGuinness
"Stefan started giving my son, Con, voice lessons at the beginning of his A2 year. Con's performance grade from his year 12 studies was a grade B. His music teacher suggested that this could be improved and so recommended a re-sit. Stefan worked with Con on both his re-sit and his year 13 performance, which resulted in two A* grades. My husband and I noticed a dramatic improvement in Con's technique and the quality of his singing. Stefan gave advice on the choice of song and maintained contact with me throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend Stefan. My son enjoyed working with him and most certainly acknowledges the input that Stefan had to his final grades."

In many of life's endeavors, the difference between great success and crippling failure is timing. This especially applies to business owners – were jumping into a market at the right time can help them grow their business at an accelerated rate, but entering too late (industry saturation) or early (no consumer interest) can be a huge waste of time and money.
Keeping an eye on the future, plus paying attention to cultural trends and even the news, can help you get the timing right on your next business venture. Here are four growing industries that are on the verge of taking off, with quantifiable reasons you should consider getting on board with them before you're late to the party.
If you've ever experienced the powerful immersion of a quality VR system, you probably aren't surprised to know that virtual reality is one of the fastest growing industries in the world – with a market value that's nearly doubled annually since 2016. And even if you haven't, you've most likely heard about Pokemon Go, the AR smartphone game that's grossed nearly $2 billion in global revenue in little more than two years.
Both areas of technology are trending upward in a big way. For instance, major studies project VR to have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 57% over the next decade. Even more, notable reports forecast astronomical growth of both VR and AR over the next several years, potentially surpassing $209.2 billion in revenue by 2022. Regardless if these figures fall a bit short, it's still very clear that these industries are heading in the right direction.
A big part of this growing success is due to the technology's versatility. VR and AR are being used in increasingly creative ways to study medicine, teach history, and even help people with physical disabilities experience things like skiing again – activities which they may no longer be physically capable of performing.
As the processing capacity of our devices becomes increasingly powerful, there's no reason augmented and virtual reality won't become more mainstream. And as they do, they're going to keep making increasing amounts of money for people who buy in. Thankfully it's not too late yet, and 2019 is a great year to get involved in either (or both).
Facilitating sports bets was once the territory of underground organizations. Then in the U.S., it was legalized across Nevada in 1931. Yet for over the following 80 years, not one other state followed suit.
Now, things are starting to shift. Two recent developments, one that's been affecting us for several decades and the other which we're only now starting to feel, have ultimately changed the world of sports betting (abroad and in the U.S.) forever.
While it may seem a bit obvious, there's a stark difference between the pre- and post-internet worlds of gambling. In a country where gambling is strictly prohibited, for instance, gambling became accessible in a way that it simply wasn't before.
Since putting down money on sports is legal in certain regions across the globe, American and international companies started being able to circumvent their own laws by opening bank accounts outside of their home countries. Then they could market their websites to gamblers from all over the world.
Although online casinos, internet poker rooms, and bookie sites were hit hard by the United States' Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, some have still managed to survive in creative ways. While running a business like this requires an entrepreneur to embrace certain "grey area" business practices, such an operation wouldn't be possible at all without the internet.
On May 14th of this year, the federal ban on sports betting in the U.S. was ruled unconstitutional with a 6 to 3 Supreme Court vote. However, while this was a momentous occasion for anyone with a vested interest in sports betting, there was a catch. Instead of making it legal everywhere, the removal of this ban gave states the choice to legalize sports gambling or not.
In other words, its legality will now be determined on a state-by-state basis. Although multiple states have already made strong moves toward legalization, there's a long way to go before it's accepted everywhere (if ever).
At this juncture, New Jersey and Delaware have already fully legalized sports betting. Other states trending in the right direction (if you're interested in becoming a bookie) include Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, plus experts project there to be 32 states by 2024 with legalized sports gambling.
Court decisions often pave the way toward great financial opportunity, and if you believe the man who stood in front of the U.N. and estimated that the global sports betting market is worth upwards of $3 trillion, then you should start preparing yourself for when this growing industry becomes viable in your area (or work on operating somewhere that it is).
CBD is a bit of a polarizing substance. For some, it represents pain relief, natural healing, and anxiety reduction. For others, its association with the cannabis plant make it something worth condemning – regardless of its efficacy for treating life's various ailments. Plus, its legal status around the world is also a bit complex; especially in the United States.
As things currently stand at the national level, CBD is a Schedule I Drug due to its connection with cannabis, even though cannabidiol by itself lacks the psychotropic properties that are associated with "getting high" (primarily caused by THC).
However, there are key loopholes that people interested in starting their own CBD business have been exploiting – one being to process the legal cousin of cannabis, hemp, for its CBD. Because hemp has a negligible quantity of THC, it can be cultivated in every state. And thanks to the 2014 Farm Bill, as long as the THC level of a CBD product is kept below .03%, it is completely legal to produce and sell.
And there are many looking to produce and sell it. The state of Oregon, for example, has seen a huge influx in applications for farming licenses to grow hemp, and they're coming from licensed producers of marijuana. It's apparent that these growers are aiming to capitalize on CBD today because it's simply projected to be more profitable than the competitive cannabis market for the foreseeable future.
Not to mention, CBD hasn't even really started to take off yet. With the first CBD-centric pharmaceutical drug hitting shelves earlier this year, things are only starting to get going. For people interested in investing in the industry or becoming CBD resellers online, there is still time to get on board – however, CBD sales in the U.S. increased 40% in 2017, so it might be a good idea to do so soon.
In a country where healthcare is only getting more expensive, it should come as no surprise that wellness products and preventive supplements are doing quite well in the United States. They are also doing quite well across the world too, with some studies projecting the global nutraceuticals industry to steadily grow by over 11% for the next five years, and nootropics to maintain an even more impressive 17.9% CAGR.
And in America, both substances fall under a general "dietary supplements" umbrella. This means they exist firmly outside the realm of highly-regulated pharmaceuticals – an ideal position for such products if you're an aspiring entrepreneur.
However, there are a few key differences between nootropics and nutraceuticals worth considering before getting too deep into either industry.
Generally derived from whole foods and frequently consumed in powders and capsules, nutraceuticals have a similar function to vitamins and other daily supplements. Specifically, they are created to help us get any nutrients we may be lacking in our diet. But what makes them different from run-of-the-mill vitamin tablets is that they also function as preventives, to help protect our bodies from disease.
A few good examples of nutraceutical substances include Omega-3 fish oil, antioxidant vitamins, and probiotic drinks like Yakult.
Nootropics are also natural chemical compounds, but their function isn't to supplement your diet – instead, they are synthesized with the primary goal of enhancing mental acuity. Described as "smart pills" or "brain supplements" by the media, regular users of nootropics take them to keep their minds sharp. There are even ex-NFL players who swear by them, considering nootropics the answer for anyone looking to mitigate the effects of brain trauma.
While nootropics may sound interesting and futuristic, it's important to keep in mind that they're considered "high risk" products by banks and payment processors. Opening and retaining a high-risk merchant account is a necessary and challenging barrier for anyone looking to enter this industry. But for businesses able to overcome this hurdle, there's a ripe market waiting on the other side.
Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald's Corporation, famously stated that major success hinges on two things, "first, being in the right place at the right time, and second, doing something about it." While nothing is certain, we've highlighted four industries that are seemingly on a trajectory toward that perfect moment. Doing something about it, however, is up to you.
Geoff Scott is a payments consultant & marketing manager at PayMotile.com, where he strives to connect business owners all across the risk spectrum with solutions to their payment woes. When he's not writing to clients or posting useful content on the PayMotile website, you can find him listening to Miles Davis and drinking black coffee (or craft beer when an opportunity arises).

In this lecture, Dr. Gabriel will argue that we need to change our paradigm concerning objectivity in the humanities. Over the last decades, the humanities have come under pressure from the scientific worldview. To many, it seems as if the humanities provide us at best with less-than-objective knowledge claims. Arguably, there are at least two overall reasons for this. On the one hand, the scientific worldview tends to associate objectivity with the kind of knowledge-acquisition, explanation, and justification characteristic of the natural sciences. On the other hand, the humanities themselves have contributed to the impression that they might be less relevant than the natural sciences to epistemic progress due to internal problems having to do with the very concept(s) of knowledge, reality and objectivity.
New Realism is a term for a whole series of current trends in philosophy that has important consequences for our understanding of knowledge in general. In particular, it reshapes our account of the human being qua source and object of knowledge claims. In this context, New Realism draws on a crucial indispensability thesis: we simply cannot eliminate the standpoint from which humans gather information about human and non-human reality alike from our account of reality itself. In light of this thesis, it turns out that the humanities are fully-fledged contributions to objective knowledge about reality – a fact we cannot ignore without succumbing to illusion. Against this background, the talk concludes that the so-called "scientific worldview" is untenable: it is built upon a denial of knowledge we actually possess, and so, by not being scientific enough, it fails to respect its own premises.

Justia › US Law › Case Law › Nebraska Case Law › Nebraska Supreme Court Decisions › 1981 › State v. Watts
State v. Watts
STATE of Nebraska, Appellee, v. Warren R. WATTS, Appellant.
*818 John P. Murphy of Ruff & Murphy, North Platte, for appellant.
Paul L. Douglas, Atty. Gen., and Mel Kammerlohr, Asst. Atty. Gen., Lincoln, for appellee.
Heard before KRIVOSHA, C. J., BOSLAUGH, McCOWN, BRODKEY, WHITE, and HASTINGS, JJ., and COLWELL, Retired District Judge.
HASTINGS, Justice.
The defendant, Warren R. Watts, a resident of Colorado, has appealed from the District Court for Keith County where he was convicted of the offense of possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, deliver, or dispense, in violation of Neb.Rev. Stat. § 28-416(1)(a) (Reissue 1979). The defendant was found guilty by the court sitting without a jury, and was sentenced to a term of probation for 2 years. The defendant assigns as error the failure to sustain his motion to suppress evidence seized pursuant to a warrantless search of defendant's car. We affirm.
On April 13, 1980, Watts was stopped by State Trooper Byron Lane of the Nebraska State Patrol for exceeding the speed limit. Trooper Lane approached the driver's side of the vehicle where the window was rolled down, and obtained Watts' driver's license and a rental agreement showing the car to be rented to the defendant. At that time Lane detected the smell of burnt marijuana. Trooper Lane then issued a warning for speeding to Watts and asked him if there was or had been any marijuana in the vehicle, to which Watts replied, "No." The trooper then told Watts that he had smelled marijuana and asked him if he could look in the vehicle. Watts did not consent to the search. Trooper Lane looked over the back seat and saw a clear plastic bag containing a small amount of marijuana in plain view in a cooler with the lid partially off. At that time the defendant was placed under arrest for possession of marijuana and advised of his Miranda rights.
Trooper Lane then asked Watts if he had the trunk key, to which Watts replied that he had had it that morning but could not locate it at that time. Lane then did a pat-down search of Watts, and found the key to the trunk in one of defendant's socks. Lane opened the trunk of the vehicle and observed three large trash bags, each containing twenty 1-pound bags of marijuana.
The defendant's sole assignment of error is the trial court's refusal to suppress the evidence found pursuant to the search of the automobile.
The U. S. Supreme Court has recognized a distinction between the warrantless search and seizure of automobiles or other movable vehicles and the search of a home or office. "Generally, less stringent warrant requirements have been applied to vehicles." Cardwell v. Lewis, 417 U.S. 583, 589-90, 94 S. Ct. 2464, 41 L. Ed. 2d 325 (1974). The treatment of automobiles has been based in part on their inherent mobility, which often makes obtaining a warrant impractical.
*819 "The answer lies in the diminished expectation of privacy which surrounds the automobile: `One has a lesser expectation of privacy in a motor vehicle because its function is transportation and it seldom serves as one's residence or as the repository of personal effects.... It travels public thoroughfares where both its occupants and its contents are in plain view.' Cardwell v. Lewis, 417 U.S. 583, 590 [94 S. Ct. 2464, 2469, 41 L. Ed. 2d 325] (1974) (plurality opinion)." United States v. Chadwick, 433 U.S. 1, 12, 97 S. Ct. 2476, 2484, 53 L. Ed. 2d 538 (1977).
We have constantly held that the smell of marijuana, standing alone, is sufficient to furnish probable cause for the warrantless search of a motor vehicle where, as here, there was sufficient foundation as to the expertise of the officer. State v. Daly, 202 Neb. 217, 274 N.W.2d 557 (1979), and the cases cited therein. We have further held that the odor of burned marijuana coming from the driver's compartment of a truck was sufficient probable cause to search the truck. State v. Ruzicka, 202 Neb. 257, 274 N.W.2d 873 (1979).
The defendant argues that the state trooper may have had probable cause to search the interior of the car, but after finding the bag of marijuana in the cooler, he could search no further without independent reason to believe that there was marijuana in the trunk. For support, the defendant refers this court to Wimberly v. Superior Court, 16 Cal. 3d 557, 547 P.2d 417, 128 Cal. Rptr. 641 (1976); Commonwealth v. White, 374 Mass. 132, 371 N.E.2d 777 (1977); State v. Patino, 163 N.J.Super. 116, 394 A.2d 365 (1978); and others. The holdings in those cases to the contrary notwithstanding, we believe it just as logical to conclude that the finding of the small amount of marijuana in the passenger compartment, after being told by the defendant that none existed, simply served to substantiate the officer's suspicions and furnish additional probable cause to make a complete search of the automobile. Having found a quantity of illicit drugs in one part of the automobile does not sensibly suggest the probability that no more such substance is present.
However, we need not reach this issue in the case at bar. Following the lawful seizure of marijuana from the cooler, the officer had probable cause to and did in fact arrest the defendant. Contrary to the position taken by the defendant, § 28-416(6)(a) simply authorizes the issuance of a citation rather than an arrest. It does not detract from the peace officer's general authority to "arrest and detain any person found violating any law of this state." (Emphasis supplied.) Neb.Rev.Stat. § 29-401 (Reissue 1979). Also, Neb.Rev.Stat. § 29-404.02 (Reissue 1979) authorizes a peace officer to arrest a person without a warrant if the officer has "reasonable cause to believe that such person has committed... (2) a misdemeanor, and the officer has reasonable cause to believe that such person... (c) may destroy or conceal evidence of the commission of such misdemeanor; or (d) has committed a misdemeanor in the presence of the officer." The arrest was lawful.
"The constitutionality of a search incident to an arrest does not depend on whether there is any indication that the person arrested possesses weapons or evidence. The fact of a lawful arrest, standing alone, authorizes a search." Michigan v. DeFillippo, 443 U.S. 31, 35, 99 S. Ct. 2627, 2631, 61 L. Ed. 2d 343 (1979). See, also, Rawlings v. Kentucky, 448 U.S. 98, 100 S. Ct. 2556, 65 L. Ed. 2d 633 (1980).
The search of the defendant revealed the key to his automobile trunk secreted in a sock. By this time, the officer had legitimate knowledge that the automobile contained marijuana; that the defendant had lied to the officer about that fact as well as his knowledge of the existence or location of the trunk key; and that the defendant had deliberately placed the trunk key in a place where he felt the officer would not be able to find it. At this point the officer certainly had probable cause to believe that more marijuana might be found in the trunk.
Under certain circumstances, a furtive movement can produce the legal justification to search an automobile. State v. *820 Zimmerman, 23 N.C.App. 396, 209 S.E.2d 350 (1974). In that case, it was held that defendant's furtive attempt to conceal a house key in the front seat of his automobile was sufficient justification for search of the automobile where there was probable cause to believe that the existence of such key would be evidence of the defendant's guilt. Here, similar surreptitious action and evasive answers on the part of the defendant justified the questioned search. See, also, State v. Booth, 202 Neb. 692, 276 N.W.2d 673 (1979); Annot., 45 A.L.R.3d 581 (1972).
Finally, in State v. Kretchmar, 201 Neb. 308, 267 N.W.2d 740 (1978), reversed on other grounds at 203 Neb. 663, 280 N.W.2d 46 (1979), we approved a warrantless search of the trunk of defendant's automobile by an officer who smelled the odor of marijuana about the car and opened the trunk over the protestations and in spite of the physical opposition of the defendant.
The defendant's motion to suppress was correctly overruled, and the judgment of the District Court is affirmed.
KRIVOSHA, C. J., and McCOWN and WHITE, JJ., concur in result.

What's the scoop?
SORDID LIVES, PERFORMED AT NYC'S THE DUPLEXTestimonial by Mary Lou Barber, Co-director
As co-director of the play "Sordid Lives" at The Duplex, I had the sheer pleasure of working with the one and only Valerie David. She swooped in to cover two separate roles, LaVonda and Juanita, as an emergency replacement for each of these parts at the beginning of the run. She is, at once, a whirlwind of energy and talent, possessed of an amazing work ethic and willingness, a team player, self-motivated and well-prepared. She was able to give a very solid characterization for each of the parts that she covered with minimal time and rehearsal, and fit seamlessly into the show. I heartily support this woman on her journey as a "woman of the theater."
Testimonial by John Philips, Producer
Valerie stepped into our production of "Sordid Lives" at The Duplex - barely a week of rehearsal after we had cast her as an understudy for LaVonda because we had lost the role's principal, she then had to cover a second part - Juanita - the next week after another actress was out. The total professional - nothing fazed Valerie in getting prepared in such a short time - she used everything, every piece of advice large and small from the Director, everything she had imbibed watching the show while still an understudy. And when Valerie finally went on, none of us had any sense she was just starting in a role the rest of us had weeks to prepare. Valerie David is a moving actress in both mind and heart, and a hilarious "LaVonda" and "Juanita"!!
BEAUTIFUL BOYWritten by Joseph Jude Zito; Directed and Produced by Nancy McClernan
Testimonial by Hal Corley
A lovely piece by Zito, evocative use of the train and platforms, and a deeply moving performance by Valerie David.
Testimonial by Nancy McClernan
You have to realize that we recorded BEAUTIFUL BOY on the N/Q subway line with virtually no time for memorization so the actors had to use cue cards. To get an idea of what a consummate professional Valerie is, watch especially the monologue in the middle of the video - she did the entire thing in one take, in spite of all the stopping and starting at each subway station and the frequent subway announcer's cry of "stand clear of the closing doors!" I was completely blown away by the heartfelt sincerity and all-around excellence of her performance, especially under such extreme conditions. Brava, Valerie!
HAVE YOU SEEN MY WIFE?Written by Amy Brousta
Testimonial by Kim Plumridge, Casting Director and Acting Coach for Have You Seen My Wife? Film
I had the pleasure of working with Valerie David when I cast her as "MC Samantha" - the host of a dance contest in the independent short film "Have You Seen My Wife?" Valerie was a dream to work with - a consummate professional and a real team player. She made MC Samantha a truly defined, very interesting and real person. And she was terrific at the shoot. Her positive attitude and warm and upbeat spirit made the whole day easier for everyone. She even got on stage and entertained the extras while the director shot them...she sang, did a mock striptease and told some jokes! And she wasn't even on camera!! As a result, the director got some wonderfully real reaction footage from the extras. Valerie David is an amazingly talented and generous actress... a real gem...
NATIONAL TREASUREWritten by Jon Spano
Review by tmarc123 of The New York Times
National Treasure was the most surprising, thought-provoking piece of evening with exceptional performances by funny Valerie David (in the role of Melissa) and somber Marc Garber (in the role of Barry). Two characters meet at memorial tribute to legendary Broadway actress. At-odds characters are unified by mysterious odor and play shifts exquisitely from comedy to drama, revealing secrets, impossibility of reconciliation, and dissolution of idols. Inconclusive powerful ending.
Review by Byrne Harrison of OOBR.com
National Treasure by Jon Spano is an interesting study in celebrity, as two strangers meet at the memorial service of a legendary Broadway actress. Melissa (Valerie David), a rabid fan, believes her idol could do no wrong. Both David and Garber do excellent jobs with their characters. David is great as the type of motor mouth that one wants to avoid sitting next to at the theatre, or God forbid on a plane, but it is at the end of the play that she shines, as Melissa is forced to choose between comforting Barry and honoring her idol.
Review by Duncan Pflaster of Broadwayworld.com
National Treasure concerns two strangers who meet in a Broadway theater for a memorial for great stage actress Lydia North. Melissa (a funny Valerie David) is excited and wants to chat, while Barry (the deadpan Marc Garber) isn't feeling so well and wants her to shut up. It's a fascinating and moving play. Garber and David are perfection in their roles.
Review by Amy Lerner of nytheatre.com.
National Treasure, a play by Jon Spano that takes place at a memorial service. It begins as a comedy with Valerie David in a hilarious turn as a gregarious stranger.
Review by Barry Liebman of HI! DRAMA
With the Emerging Artists EATfest, the bar was raised quite high quality-wise. All were entertaining and definitely watchable, thanks to a uniformly fine cast. Especially noteworthy was Valerie David, as a motor mouth theatergoer.
TWO-MUR HUMOR: HE'S MALIGNANT; SHE'S BENIGN
Written and performed by Valerie David and Jim Tooey
Reviewed by Andrew Rothkin of "Hi! Drama"
Two-mur Humor: He's Malignant, She's Benign was recently staged as a reading by The Tumor Humor Fund at Chelsea Studios. Jim Tooey and Valerie David wrote the dramedy, loosely based upon their own experiences of surviving a brain tumor and cancer. The piece is hilarious and inspiring!
They also shined as actors, playing their central roles, Lisa and Paul, as real, layered people. Ms. David made the most out of her every character, making the audience belly-laugh one moment, then get misty-eyed the next. The charismatic actress was a joy to watch.
Review of "Rumors" by Charlie Cox of the "Advocate-Messenger" newspaper in Danville, Kentucky June 2006
Standing out in the cast , which I must point out is a huge feat, is Valerie David as the back spasm-prone Cookie. David is uniquely tenacious in her performance, and is truly talented as a physical comedian. She's charming, while being completely ludicrous. Now there's a tricky combination.
RUMORS is a comedic farce written by Neil Simon and was performed at the Pioneer Playhouse.
BLOWN SIDEWAYS THROUGH LIFE
Review by Harlan Berger of the "The Express" newspaper in Pennsylvania
Valerie David delivers in the one-woman show Blown Sideways Through Life at the Millbrook Playhouse. I loved her stereotypical picture of a nutty, obsessed painter. She mimics his scatological reply [to her] beautifully. Laughs are plentiful. [Valerie] David carries off Shear's brash New York persona quite well. Blown Sideways Through Life is the final show of Millbrook's season, and it's a bell ringer.

offoffonline.com review
In Asteroid Belt, Carly, a young college student on her way home from a play rehearsal, realizes in the play's opening minutes that she is about to die in a car accident. In that moment, she attempts to logically reflect on the illogical elements that placed her in such danger. In doing so, she also tries to connect with her parents by following them in spirit through the routine of worrying about the late-night whereabouts of their child.
Writer Lauren Feldman creates impressively touching characters with her simple use of detail. Carly's father, Jay (Sam Sagenkahn), tries to distract his anxious wife, Sue (Valerie David), by poking fun at her dislike of Mary Higgins Clark. And Carly reflects that she is ill equipped to handle her accident because she was "never good at spontaneity. Directed by Caden Hethorn, these characters all come to life with warmth and realism.
nytheatre.com review
David Pumo - April 3, 2005
Asteroid Belt, by Lauren Feldman, is both fascinating and disturbing. A college girl is late coming home. As her parents worry about where she might be, she is somehow there in the room with them, unseen, describing the horrible car accident that is happening to her, and that she is unable to stop. It's an interesting and original idea, well carried out by the writer. The audience is kept on edge from beginning to end.
Women and Men - Four One-Acts
Review by Andres J. Wrath
Racing to the Bottom was the strongest piece in the evening, although it seems less about women and men and more about economics, power, and responsibility. Its view and scope are greater than a mere relationship play. In it, writer Jeff Love presents three sides of the economic scale: a factory owner and his secretary, an unemployed man with an ailing mom with no health insurance, and a factory worker and her father. The writing is uncompromised, terse, and urgent. Love is masterful with dialogue and the juxtaposing of scenes. Never does he try to explain or offer anything but a shell of the existence of three very different sets of people interacting and behaving. The three groups were played with skill and verve by the excellent Love and a luminous Valerie David.

First of all let me say that having upset a few people yesterday by my remarks about skiing the same runs over and over again and my remarks about people who don't like Kangaroo having poor technique, I am going to have to go a bit to upset people more today, but I will give it my best shot.
It was bit strange today in that it was -7 on the way to the hill but as it was a bluebird day (we are having more of these than usual for January) temps at the base rose to about +4 and on top they barely stayed below zero. Winds became an increasing feature during the day day eventually shutting Polar Peak chair and on the way back from the hill temps once again were down to -3.
Timber chair was closed first thing for 15 minutes and eventually opened about 11 which was pretty strange 15 minutes. I understand the cause was the electrics on top becoming frozen which is fair enough as no one could have seen that happening on a ski hill.
We went to the Old Side and played around in Boom Guts which were still wind grooming from yesterday but maybe not so much soft blow in. After that we were all over the Old Side in Linda's Cedar Ridge ( 3 different ways) King Fir and Bear Chutes/Buckshot. All these had areas had smooth wind grooming but for the most part the smooth suface was crisp and hard without that much blow in but there were some places where it did ski pretty soft.
Of course Kangaroo was the exception which was hard bumpy, icey and technically demanding, or perfect as I would describe it. We only did it three time today and apart from a load of dead snow borders lying about in the top section it was easy skiing - I did manage to share my thoughts with one of them on the advisabilty of lying behind a blind hump.
We went to the New Side and found Polar Peak open which was a bit surprising as the winds were quite strong. The view from the top of Polar was just spectacular as the atmospheric conditions meant that you could see forever. The skiing in Pappa Bear chute was pretty mellow with sift starting to give you a nice edge on the hard pack. The problem was that if you fell there was going to be no chance of self arrest and you were likely to end up somewhere near the BC/Alberta boarder. This was demonstarated acouple of time while I was watching from the traverse having skied it.
It was so nice we looped back to the chair before doing it again (funnily enough no one else seemed to be looping) and then dropping through severe Concussion which had some nice soft blow in gathering in the top. Next time we did another Pappa Bear off Polar Peak and as before found that the lower parts of the chute were soft blown in snow where you could bang out long GS turns at high speed. The route to the base was via Stag Leap which was interesting through the trees, nice and soft in the mid section and a bit scratchy on the exit.
After a very late lunch there wasn't much left of the afternoon and I took a buddy into Concussion and found that there was even more sift than before. The gully to the left of Gilmar Trail is just starting to get interesting (don't ask the guy who had a very funny face plant in the alders) and made for a fun ski out.
Cougar Glades/Srag Leap was nice tracked tree skiing in the top and chunky soft snow when I hit left into the run. I needed to take a White Pass loop to kill time and did Knot Chutes which were firm in poor light and Surprise Trees which were a bit wind affected but ok.
Skydive tonight was just myself and my buddy Rod back from Calgary - a nice run, chunky in the top and crunchy low down. A small line up to get in the Griz bar was ok and then loads too much beer with Rob, Katie, Lynda and Simon - Rob is such a bad man as he always makes me drink too much beer. A quiet night in.

Two workers at Lima McDonald's killed by defective soda machine
AFP-JIJI
LIMA – A defective soda vending machine was responsible for the deaths of two McDonald's cleaners in Peru, the general manager for the Lima franchise told a local news station on Saturday night.
Carlos Campos, 19, and Alexandra Porrasa, 18, died late Dec. 15 as they cleaned the fast food restaurant in Lima's Pueblo Libre district.
Police had said Monday the two were electrocuted.
Since the deaths, the chain has closed its 29 stores throughout the country, while the police and the prosecution investigate.
"Twenty-four hours before (the accident) it was already known that the machine had problems … ," Jose Carlos Andrade, the general director of Arcos Dorados, owner of the McDonald's franchise in Peru, told television channel N.
"This has hit us all very hard and we are working hard to review all our processes, all our protocols, to ensure such a thing does not happen again," he told the local station.
The company confirmed the soda machine will not be used in future.
The deaths prompted Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra to announce a bill to strengthen job security, as demonstrators rallied peacefully Saturday against labor abuses for the second time in a week.

Bahrain Recalls Iraq Ambassador, UAE Condemns Attack on Embassy
Iraqi security forces near Bahraini embassy in Baghdad
Bahrain - Live News - Middle East - News - Top
More than 200 demonstrators broke into the courtyard of Bahrain's Embassy in Baghdad and took down the kingdom's flag on Thursday night to protest the US-led meeting in Bahrain on Israeli-Palestinian so-called peace.
Police used live rounds to disperse the crowd, police sources told Reuters, with no injuries reported.
"We used our vehicle loudspeakers to encourage protesters to leave the compound," a police officer stationed near the embassy said. "After they refused, police had to fire into the air."
One protester said the move aimed at sending a strong statement against the Manama conference, which is seen as an anti-Palestine scheme.
"We took down the Bahraini flag to send a clear message to all those who participated in the Bahrain conference, that we strongly reject normalizing relations with the Zionist occupiers and will never abandon our support of Palestinians," said the protester, who identified himself as Abu Murtadha Al Moussawi.
In response, Bahrain recalled its ambassador to Iraq for consultations on Thursday after the protests.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain condemns the attack on the Embassy of the Kingdom of Bahrain to the Republic of Iraq by the demonstrators (which) led to sabotage in the embassy building," a statement on the ministry's website said.
For its part, the UAE has strongly condemned Thursday's attack, calling it a "blatant violation" of diplomatic norms and convention.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC) called on the Iraqi government to fulfil its responsibilities and legal obligations to protect diplomatic work and the mission headquarters in the capital and Iraqi cities.
On Twitter, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said the attack was "unacceptable and dangerous development on political and legal level."
