Whilst looking back over previous photo challenges that WordPress curates and I found one called Path. A path comes in many shapes and forms, like the image above. Which is of a wooden bridge. A path is made by using different materials that enable a person to walk across an area with ease. It could be concrete, decking, timber planks, paving slabs or even shingle. A path will lead you from one place to another.
The above photograph was taken back in July 2016 when we visited Scotland for our annual holiday. And this wooden bridge was a pathway over the River Coe in the woodland area of Glencoe at Red Squirrel Campsite.
For this particular image again I used my Powder Paint Effect but this time I removed the outline box that I normally use. Within Photoshop I played around with gradients, photo filters as well as colour lookups. As per my usual workflow, this image originated in Lightroom. With Lightroom edits finished I then processed the image in Photoshop to get the Powder Paint Effect.
Once I finished my edits in Photoshop, I saved the filed and imported it back into Lightroom for further edits.
I know a lot of my workflow's done in Lightroom, which is a supped up version of Camera Raw. However my preference for editing a photograph has to be Lightroom. I know with both programs you can do exactly the same edits and do the same effect to an image. But there is something about Lightroom that I find easier to use. I only use Camera Raw within Photoshop when it is a necessity. Otherwise I always work in Lightroom.
For me Lightroom is my first port of call. I don't know about you but if I can get away without having to use Photoshop I will. But due to the style of editing I am doing lately I have to use Photoshop as Lightroom doesn't allow you to blend two images together, or allows you to work in layers. Wouldn't it be nice if that feature, one day, became part of Lightroom – the ability to work in layers.
Do you have a preference when editing your images? Is it Lightroom or Camera Raw? I would love to hear your thoughts on which one you use when editing photos and the reasons why you find that particular piece of software easier to work with.

In an unwisely candid moment Jodie Foster revealed, "look, it's terrible, I know, but weakness really, really bugs me, to the point that if there is a wounded bird on the sidewalk, I look at it and go: I think I'll just kick it".
This got me to thinking: In our evolutionary past, when we were living in small groups competing for scarce resources, any individual showing signs of weakness must have been a threat to the group as a whole. Is it possible that Jodie Foster unknowingly illuminated something nasty lurking within all of us to some degree?
Ps I'm a big fan of Ms Foster's work.
OCD, have you been reading the 'my grinder is better than your grinder' thread?
CafeLotta and magnafunk like this.
OCD, maybe the issue of 'bullying' is a part of this ?
There are people - bullies - who instinctively zero into vulnerability and try to exploit it. You saw it in the school playground and you see it in workplaces.
Then there is the natural human tendency - explored in psychology studies - to find a reason to "blame the victim".
There was also the Stanford Prison Experiment that explored relationships between power/authority, roles and vulnerability etc.
OCD and beensean like this.
Jodie Foster unknowingly illuminated something nasty lurking within all of us to some degree?
Nothing nasty about it, Darwin got it right, survival of the fittest.
Nowadays we help the weaker links survive to perpetuate their genes and diminish and weaken the pool, it's a downward spiral that will end in disaster.
If only it was so simple. Too often, craven usurpers will gang up on the fittest and drag them down. These degenerates do more to contaminate the gene pool than the supposedly 'weak'.
Oh, goody. A discussion about psychology and evolution by people who show no knowledge of psychology or evolution.
noonar and Lyrebird like this.
Anyone who takes a good look at most of our major leaders realise they are either bullies or those who match the average IQ of their populations - which is 85 in the case of one major power circa 2000AD and probably still going down.
... or those who have seen the movie "Idiocracy" and realise it is actually a "near reality show" documentary.
I thought this thread had some potential for intelligent conversation, guess I should have known better.
"Oh, goody. A discussion about psychology and evolution by people who show no knowledge of psychology or evolution" An erroneous assumption.
My last post here, will save my thoughts for interaction with those who are able to engage in a discussion without emotion and bias clouding logic.
Oh dear. are you really claiming the intellectual high ground Yelta? You do yourself a disservice.
Not at all about being physically stronger?. Because this term has been used in this conversation thread, I thought a bit of background on the term might be useful.

Diary: February 2018
Posted on February 28, 2018 by thezman
Every time I write one of these, I say I will make it a regular feature. That never happens for some reason. The "collection of small items" has been a staple of magazine writing for generations because it is easy to produce and popular with readers. It works well for blogs like this, as it lets the blogger address all of the small items that don't warrant a longer post. For some reason I have not developed the habit. My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening thru a cosmic vapor of invention…..
Looking at the server logs, I was surprised to see continued growth in traffic. January of 2018 saw a 9% increase in traffic versus January 2017. February, on the other hand, has been a little flat, relative to last year, but February has always been the slowest month for some reason. July is the second slowest month and that makes sense. July is the biggest vacation month in the US. Even adjusting for the lost days, February has been the slowest month for this site since I started. I have no answer for it.
I've always assumed there is an upper limit to one man blogs. I could be wrong about it, but that's my hunch. The reason is there is only so much anyone has to say about the world. Eventually, even the most expansive writer starts to repeat certain themes. Read anyone long enough and you notice it. Of course, some writers limit themselves to one topic, so they hit that point quickly. I have not read Robert Stacy McCain in a long time, as he said everything about blue-haired cat ladies that needed to be said….
The podcast is steadily ticking up in traffic. The funny thing about it is the growth has followed the same pattern as the blog. Obviously, I do nothing to promote myself. I don't have a rich uncle bankrolling this operation. That means people discover this site and the podcast mostly through bad fortune. Word of mouth growth seems to follow a pattern. At first there is slow growth, then it takes off, but plateaus for a while, and then another period of rapid growth. That's what's happening with the podcast.
People have suggested I try some promotion, but I don't know anything about promoting a podcast and I'm not all that interested in learning. Self-promotion is not something that comes naturally to me. A guy like Mike Cernovich is a natural self-promoter, despite the fact he has nothing to offer the world. Even though he is a nullity, he can attract a crowd, thus proving the power of marketing. That and the world has never been short of stupid people willing to give an mendacious clown like Cernovich an audience…
I got a few e-mails asking my thoughts on the Florida shooting. I'm in the John Derbyshire camp on this one. There is a reason these things happen, but it has nothing to do with any of the reasons we see the loonies shouting about on television. This time the Progressive nutters have enlisted a group of child actors, but the Left has been exploiting children this way since forever. This time it feels new, only because it has been a while since the last "what about the children" stunt, but otherwise it is the same show.
My hunch here is that "school shooter" has become a thing for the same reason "going postal" was a thing once. In a mass media society, certain things gain currency simply because they travel well on the mass medium. School shootings make for good TV and good scream show fodder. If you are a troubled kid seeking attention, the world is showing you the path. Eventually, some new nut will come along and do something else to be famous and that will be the thing everyone puzzles over for a while.
I will note that mass shootings adhere to Moynihan's Law of the Canadian border. Someone plotted these events on a map and it is quite clear. The more diversity, the more likely you are to have these types of incidents. That's not surprising. A mentally unstable person in a land of strangers is not going to get much help and they are going to feel even more alienated. It's also why crime is higher in more diverse parts of the country, but it is a small prize for you to pay so Tyler Cowen can have kebabs on Wednesday…
Speaking of diversity, this story on the best states was amusing. Our Progressive rulers try very hard to make these things look empirical, but in the end, they prefer to live where there are not a lot of non-whites. Iowa is the fifth whitest state in the country and its non-white population is packed into well defined areas. Look at the whole list and that pattern is clear. The one exception is West Virginia, but Lefty hates hillbillies almost as much as he hates black people. Hill country will never be gentrified…
I got banned from Twitter last week for calling Piers Morgan a bad name. It is a seven day ban that expires on Friday. This is the second time this has happened and both times it was for directing unpleasant thoughts at a famous person. The first time I got zapped was for saying something mean about Dale Earnhardt Jr., believe it or not. From what I gather, the quickest way to get tossed from social media is to insult a famous person. You can promise to murder a member of the hoi polloi, but don't dare insult a rich or famous person.
This is a trend we are seeing all over. The other day, some hockey fans were thrown out of the arena for being mean to one of the players. Heckling the players has been a tradition at hockey games since forever, but now feelings, especially the feelings of rich and famous people, count for everything. I suspect we are not too far from this becoming law. We will see rich people acquitted for killing a staffer, because they will contend the staffer insulted them in some way. Insulting a rich person will become a serious crime.
As un-American as this sounds, it is the norm in human societies. For most of human history, vexing someone in the ruling class was a good way to end up in the dungeon or on the scaffold. That is, to a great degree, the motivation behind the crack downs on speech in America. It's not that the alt-right is spreading heresy or subversion. It's that what they say makes the cat ladies sad. It's why the people in charge are so viscous about this stuff. Hell hath no fury like a cat lady scorned…
The other day, the Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal from the administration on DACA. This is a standard thing the court does to try and force the lower courts to act properly. In other words, it is a process thing that sucks for the plaintiffs, but is good for the courts. The media trumpeted this a massive setback for Trump in his efforts to end the DACA program. Every news site, even Drudge, presented it as the beginning of the end for Trump, even though it is nothing of the sort.
It is, though, another reminder of the staggering dishonestly of our media. If the Washington Post printed my name on their front page, I'm getting my birth certificate out, assuming I have been wrong about my name for fifty years. I don't even trust the date printed on news stories anymore. I suspect I'm not alone in now assuming all news is fake news. This can't be a good thing. Maybe it will fix itself in time, but I suspect a big part of what troubles our society is just the endless lying of the people in charge…
Finally, it is easy to look around at the world and get depressed. Most days, the bad news outweighs the good news by a factor of ten. We are ruled by suicidal lunatics. Further, time is running out on doing something about it. One more click of the ratchet and future generations will be living in the rubble of our society. To use a sportsball analogy, it is the late innings and the olde towne team is behind. But, it is not all bad news. This post by J'Onquarious is a good reminder that the good guys are making up ground.
Maybe it is too late. Maybe all of us are doing nothing more than leaving a record so the robot historians will know that not all of us were mad. Until that is clear though, it is important to keep fighting. Maybe this thing can be turned around in time to leave a better world for those who come after us. Slowly, white Americans are waking up to what faces them. In that regard, the momentum is on our side. We just have to keep chipping away at it and maybe one day the lunatics will be sent back to their asylums…
Posted in Weird Stuff
Post-Christian Liberalism
During the French Revolution, radicals made no bones about attacking the Church as a source of oppression and an obstacle to progress. Marxists, of course, were hostile to religion of all types, but they really hated Christians. In America, direct attacks on Christianity started in the early 20th century, as Progressives abandoned the Social Gospel, in order to bring Jews into their movement. The point being, the Left has always had it in for Christianity, claiming it hinders progress and freedom.
We no longer have Jacobins, at least not the sort into regicide. We still have a few Marxists kicking around, but they are mostly museum pieces. Exactly no one in a position of authority in the West embraces Marxism or communism. As for Progressives, we have plenty of them in America, but their thing has morphed into a weird identity cult that hates white people, not Christians. Of course, there are precious few Christians around, at least in the ruling classes. In fact, it's hard to find any Christian leaders in the West.
The West is post-Christian now. Leaders of all Western countries agree that Christianity has nothing to offer, in terms of public affairs. You never hear any of them make appeals to the deity or make references to Christian teaching. Every Western nation embraces some form of liberal democracy. Some nations lean toward social democracy, while others embrace neo-liberalism. American leaders will occasionally mumble something about freedom of religion, but otherwise, we are ruled by non-Christians.
The thing is, Christianity brought together certain cultural elements that made liberalism possible. There's a reason that things like equality before the law and representative government never took root in other places and other times. The Roman Republic and ancient Athens had some features of liberal democracy, but they were largely ruled by a collection of families of equal rank. While the Greeks were able to produce an impressive amount of intellectual capital, they never came close to developing the concept of rights.
The place to start when thinking about this is the role of God in the affairs of men. The ancients were sure the gods picked sides, played games with man and did so without a grand plan. That means the gods did not see all men as being equal. Jews, of course, were really sure God picked sides. You can't be the chosen people otherwise. It was the Christians that refined the idea that all men were in equal in the eyes of God. That's the foundation of equality before the law and egalitarianism, at least as far as natural rights.
Another idea, essential to liberal democracy, instituted in Europe by Christianity, is the concept of an ordered universe with fixed rules. This was a concept borrowed from Greek philosophy and carried through Europe by Christianity. Not only is an orderly universe essential for the development of science, it is essential for the development of rational government. If God has created an orderly universe, governed by immutable and discoverable laws, human society should follow those rules.
You cannot have a free society without contracts. The bargain between men certainly predates Christianity, but it was the Jews who came up with the idea of a covenant, a contract that even God would abide. Christians inherited this. The idea that making a contract and sticking to it, because it would displease God to do otherwise, makes it possible to enforce contracts. The state enforcing contracts is acting on behalf of Providence. You can't have anything resembling liberalism without contract law.
Finally, as I pointed out the other day, morality without the divine is just another set of rules made up by man. Christians were certainly not the first to ascribe the moral code to the supernatural, but they expanded on the Jewish concepts to create a whole body of morality that elevated humanity in the eyes of God. Doing the right thing by your fellow man, even when no one is looking, because God will judge you in the afterlife, allows for the development of the hidden law. It allows orderliness to spring forth organically.
That is an extremely broad overview, but the point is that what we take for granted about liberal democracy, has its roots in the Christian past. Within one lifetime ago, Western people expected to be ruled by Christian men. It was the natural condition. Even when the rulers were not very Christian, they kept it to themselves. It was just accepted that public character tracked with Christian morality. Now that we are ruled by post-Christian women, how long before all of these ideas that grew out of Christianity begin to wither away?
We certainly see some unraveling with the modern notion of egalitarianism. We have gone from men being equal in the spiritual sense, before God, to all people being equal to each other. Lacking the limiting principles that come with religion, Progressives are a click away from demanding that all of us pretend were are exactly the same in every way. The story Harrison Bergeron has gone from satire to divine scripture. The Christian regard for the complexity of God's creation has been completely lost in the post-Christian age.
We're seeing the return of occassionalist magic in the modern era. When the Left talks about "institutional racism" or "white privilege", they are not talking about definable things that one can examine. These are mystery forces acting on man in the same way Old Scratch used to play the role of trickster and tempter. The difference is they assume a lack of agency in humans that prevents them from resisting these mystery forces. In many respects, Norse pagans were more empirical than the modern Progressive.
This is too big of a subject for a blog post, but it is something that is worth examination. It is assumed that the stock of human knowledge is always growing, but that does not mean nothing is lost. Western people have abandoned a large chunk of knowledge that had been formalized in Christianity. Some of it can be replaced with science, but the parts underpinning civil morality and our moral philosophy are not easily replaced by secular alternatives. Like the game Jenga, we may have removed a vital peg from liberalism.
Things Are Looking Up
A pretty good rule of politics is that your enemies will always give you terrible advice. It is a lesson the so-called conservatives and Republicans have never learned. The Left offers them advice and they jump at the chance to take it. The corollary to this is you know you are doing something right when your enemies try to steal your issues. The Tories figured out that UKIP was getting traction on immigration, so they moved right on the issue and offered a referendum on Europe. It worked, even though it tanked Cameron's career.
We have not seen much of that since the start of the populist revolt led by Trump in the GOP primaries. In fact, the GOP went the other way. The higher Trump's polls rose, the more they rejected Trump's issues. It was a weird thing, but the Republicans are not called the stupid party by accident. Even after he won, his own party is struggling to come to terms with the new reality. The Left, in contrast, is good at politics, so seeing some rumblings on the their side about adopting nationalist themes is interesting.
Across the Western world, center-left parties are in trouble: In Germany, Austria, France, and the Netherlands, social democrats have suffered historic electoral defeats. Right-wing populists, meanwhile, have scored a series of victories, including Trump's election, the vote for Brexit, and the continuing erosion of liberal democratic institutions in Hungary and Poland.
But while many people take for granted an inherent contradiction between nationalism and left-wing politics, there simply isn't one, either historically or philosophically. Throughout the 20th century, progressives mobilized for social justice most successfully when they spoke in the name of national solidarity rather than focusing exclusively on class-based interests or on abstract notions of justice. Left-wingers often cite the adage that patriotism is the last resort of the scoundrel — and with good reason. But it is important to also remember that a deep sense of national commitment underpins the egalitarian institutions we hold dear.
The historian Michael Kazin put it mildly when he wrote that patriotism "is not a popular sentiment on the contemporary left." The influential British left-wing commentator George Monbiot has equated patriotism with racism: To give in to patriotism, he writes, is to deny the plain truth "that someone living in Kinshasa is of no less worth than someone living in Kensington."
Yet in giving up on appeals to national solidarity, the left has forgotten the basic political argument that served it so well in the past: that out of the ties that bind together our national communities emerges a deep commitment to the well-being, welfare, and social esteem of our fellow citizens. This recognizes a basic moral intuition: We have deep and encompassing obligations to those we consider our own, based on a shared sense of membership in a community of fate — or more simply, based on our shared national identity.
American Progressives are pegged as fanatical ideologues, but that misses an essential feature of the American Left. They can turn on a dime and reverse course if it has practical value. In the Clinton years, Bill Clinton scoffed at homosexual marriage. Even Obama seemed to be revolted by the idea. Yet, they spun around on a dime and embraced the whole rainbow collation of sexual deviants when it suited them. Hillary Clinton ran her 2016 campaign on the not so subtle theme that she was an old lesbian.
Bernie Sanders did a lot of damage in the 2016 primary because he had a reputation for left-wing populism. You can be sure that he regrets abandoning his closed borders position that he held for decades. There's a good bet he would have done much better if he had embraced a halt to immigration as a way to help the working class. The alt-right guys will tell you that some of guys came to their thing from the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democrat coalition. You can bet Democrats have noticed this as well.
None of this should suggest the Left is about to go alt-right, but when old liberal warhorses are on the ropes, because the "New Americans" are voting for their own, you can be sure there is some soul searching going on now. The math says the coalition of fringes only works if the fringe types are just a supplement to the core white vote that has always voted Democrat. Once the fringes decide they want to be in charge, and they have the numbers to make it happen, there's no room for whitey at the top of the party.
It's hard to know where this will go. The Left is committed to identity politics and to open borders, but that does not mean they cannot find a way to adopt populist and even nationalist language. On the other hand, the Left has pivoted on issues when practical politics demanded it. Regardless, It really does not matter from the point of view of populists and nationalists. If the other side is trying to figure out how to steal these issues, it means these issues are working. It means we're doing something right.

This Way Be Monsters
An analogy I'm fond of using to describe my efforts is of a ferryman, taking people from one side of the river to the other side of the river. On one side are the political, social and moral arguments based on the blank slate. On the other side are the arguments based in biological realism. When people finally grow dissatisfied with the failure of the blank slate arguments to properly explain observable reality, the ferryman takes them over the river to the other side. What they do from there is their business. I just take them over the river.
Now, this way of stating things wildly overstates my role and influence, but it is useful in describing the whole body of writers, bloggers, podcasters and so forth, making the sorts of arguments I make here. The analogy serves another purpose. It helps frame the intellectual conflict in our current age. The people on our side know all the arguments on the other side. We were there once. The people on the other side, however, are wholly ignorant of what is happening over here. They don't know what they don't know.
This came to mind when perusing National Review the other day. I was sure they would have some posts slobbering over the Black Panther movie. No group is as enthusiastic for anti-racism as the modern conservative. They turn into a puddle of emotional goo whenever they see an even a mildly successful black person. It's why CPAC was just a long line of white people taking selfies with the four black people at the event. Instead, I found this review from Jim Geraghty with a very promising headline.
It was the subhead that got my attention, because the last thing I would expect to see at National Review is the mention of human nature. The place is stuffed to the brim with foaming at the mouth blank slaters. Normally, I'd skip past a Jim Geraghty post, because he is the sort of dullard who brings shame upon the dullard community. Of course, his movie review was his normal banal nothingness. Even by the standards of movie reviews it is bland. What was striking though is there is no mention of human nature.
I re-read the thing a few times thinking I may have skipped over a line about race realism or even the reality of Africa. Nope. The closest he gets is a throw away line at the end about governance being about trade-offs. Unless you were in a coma for the month leading up to the release of Black Panther, you had to know the movie was explicitly about race. Somehow, Geraghty missed that and never mentions race once in his review. He does not even bother to acknowledge the massive marketing of the film on racial lines.
Thinking about this, it occurred to me that the so-called conservatives have turned a strange corner. Back in the olden thymes, the paleocons were sure that their wussy compatriots knew the score, but were just too frightened of Lefty to be honest about human nature, especially with regards to race. Maybe it was wishful thinking, but listen to some of the senior men in our thing, many of whom worked for outfits like National Review, and they used to talk about these things with the wuss-right types.
Maybe it is isolation, maybe it is a platonic form of assortative mating, but the remaining husk of Buckley Conservatism is stocked with people lacking the cognitive toolkit to understand the human condition. It is no longer about avoiding taboo subjects with these guys. They are now true believers in the blank slate, so whole swaths of knowledge are no longer available to them. Like Progressives, they are forced to conjure solutions from a very limited inventory of information about the human condition.
I mentioned this in one of the podcasts, but it is worth repeating. Sometime ago, I was chatting with a young woman and the topic of Somalia came up for some reason. I mentioned that Somalis have some of the lowest IQ's measured and they clock in at an average of 69. Her question was "Is it the schools or how they are taught?" In other words, "nature" was no longer in her set of possible answers. Like so many, she had fallen so far down the rabbit hole of nurture, it is all she knew. It's all their is.
This also helps explain why so-called conservatives are baffled by what is happening to them. They moan and groan about Trump, using language that resonates with their fellows, but it sounds rather silly to the rest of us. They can't see that. They don't know what's on the other side of the river, the side we're on, because they don't know there is another side to the river. For them, biology is the edge of a vast ocean that can never be crossed, because they believe there is nothing on the other side, not even monsters.
The Long Play Episode
This week's show is T-rated. That means it covers taboo subjects that may not be appropriate for all audiences. Listener discretion advised. That means I'm tackling one of the most taboo subjects in our age and that is the JQ. Specifically, I'm breaking down the alt-right argument with regards to Jews in America. Since I want to be fair and it is a big subject, this episode is twice the normal length. Think of it like a double album.
The reason for getting into this is a debate I saw between Mike Enoch of The Right Stuff and a person calling himself Halsey English. The debate itself was terrible, but it got me thinking about the arguments these guys make about Jews and white identity. In fairness to them, I had never seriously thought about their arguments, so I thought I should and that's why it is in this week's podcast. I look forward to correction if I made any mistakes.
This week I have the usual variety of items not in the now standard format. Spreaker has the full show. I am up on Google Play now, so the Android commies can take me along when out disrespecting the country. I am on iTunes, which means the Apple Nazis can listen to me on their Hitler phones. Of course, the Hitler Phones are so slow now, you may never finish. YouTube also has the full podcast. Of course, there is a download link below.

Imagination Land
All of us live in a silo of our own making to some degree. We read news sites we like and we like them because they tend to cover the stuff we think is important, in a way we hope is accurate. We admire opinions with which we agree. We hang out with people who share our interests. That's normal. It's also normal to know it and know others have different opinions and interests. Most normie conservatives get that Fox News is biased toward the Republicans, but they know all of the other stations are heavily biased to the Democrats.
This self-awareness has never applied to the Left. Every normal person has had a conversation with a Progressive friend where they claim the news is biased against them or is too easy on some conservative they currently hate. They will argue that Fox News is poisoning the minds of the public. When you point out that 90% of the mass media is run by hard left true believers, they scoff and say you're nuts. The hive mind of Progressives has always allowed them to pretend they are surrounded by a sea of their enemies.
One point made by some on the Dissident Right is that this blinkered view of the world has infected the so-called conservatives. They are blind to the intellectual revolution going on over here, because they stare at Lefty all day. Like people looking directly into the sun, they are blind to everything else. As a result, the legacy conservatives carry on like it is 1984 and Dutch Reagan is riding high. Much of what so-called conservatism is these days is just a weird nostalgia trip, celebrating a fictional past with no connection to the present.
There are many reasons why so-called conservatives are becoming irrelevant, but the main reason is that their good friends on the Left are racing off into a fantasy land of their own creation. Listen to a modern Progressive talk and it is a weird combination of echolalic babbling and paranoia about dark forces that are imaginary. Replace "Russian hacking" with "work of the devil" and their howling makes more sense. Things like "foreign meddling" and "institutional racism" are just stand-ins for Old Scratch.
This increasingly weird disconnect between the Left and this place we call earth shows up in their main propaganda organs. Those old enough to remember reading English versions of communist newspapers can recognize the unintended humor on the front pages of the New York Times and Washington Post. This front page item from last week is a good example. Everything in that "news" story describes a world that only exists in the fevered imaginations of the Left. It was a fictional account of present reality written for believers.
This Andrew Sullivan piece bumps up against this reality a little bit, but from a different angle. His argument is that the fantasy land of academia is casting a long shadow over American society, so it is imperative that the college campus be reformed to look something like reality. His framing of things is mostly wrong because he is just a slightly less berserk member of the hive he is trying analyze. His description of the dynamic on campus, though, is correct. It is a world untethered from reality.
The fact is, the college campus is the apotheosis of Progressive spiritualism. It has been dominated by the Left for as long as anyone has been a live. The constant flow of credit money into American higher education has removed all restraints on the people in charge. They are free to indulge whatever fantasies they have at the moment, as no one ever gets fired and the money spigot stays open. As a result, the American college campus is the full flowering of the Progressive imagination. It's Wakanda for cat ladies.
This lurch into madness is the result of plenty. Up until recent, the threat of nuclear annihilation and the lack of universal prosperity has reined in the excesses of the Left. In order to win elections, Progressive politicians had to focus on better economics and expanding opportunity. Of course, the Cold War kept everyone focused on practical reality, as a mistake could have set off a nuclear exchange. That's no longer the case as prosperity is near universal, in human terms, and there are no looming threats.
Progressivism has always been a spiritual movement. It is the quest for cosmic justice based on the notion that we are only as good as the weakest among us. That is a fine and noble sentiment, as long as it remains a sentiment. The reality of scarcity has always kept this spiritualism in check. As we enter into what appears to be a post-scarcity world, Progressives are free to explore the far reaches of their mysticism. The result is a ruling class that is looking more like eastern mystics, than pragmatic rulers.
It is why civic nationalism is a dead end street. You see it in the Andrew Sullivan piece about the campus culture. What he is arguing in favor of is the same things we hear from civic nationalists. They all agree with Progressives that we need a unifying religion. They just want a debate about the contours and end points of the religion. The fact that no one has ever pulled this off without ushering in a bloodbath never gets mentioned, Instead, all of these folks prefer to frolic in imagination land, where all their dreams come true.

Rule By Sociopath
In the modern vernacular, the sociopath is someone who lacks empathy, remorse and an understanding of right and wrong. The sociopath sees no difference between the truth and a lie, only their utility. Additionally, they never think about the consequences of their actions. A sociopath sees no harm in telling people that his brain juice will prevent concussions. The veracity of his statements are meaningless. What matters is how well it moves product. People ending up with brain damage as a result is never considered.
The key thing about the modern sociopath is the ambivalence toward the truth. They think saying something is the same as doing something. What matters is if the words get the listener to do what the sociopath wants them to do. Standing in front of crowd, making false claims, is fine if it causes people to buy product. If the truth sells more product, then the truth is better. From the perspective of the modern sociopath, the difference is about the results, not the accuracy of the statements. The truth or a lie, whichever works.
Now replace "sociopath" with "politician" and "product" with "votes" and you have the modern managerial democracy. It's not that our politicians lie. It's that for them, a lie is indistinguishable from the truth. That's why they seem so utterly shameless. Shame requires a sense of right and wrong, a knowledge that what you said or did is intrinsically wrong. For the people who rule over us, right and wrong only exist in the context of their own ambitions. Something is "right" if it benefits the person in the moment.
An example of this is both the story of Mayor Megan Barry and the coverage of her by the managerial media.
On Jan. 31, the mayor here, Megan Barry, called a news conference to announce that she had been having an affair with Robert Forrest Jr., a police sergeant who was the head of her security detail: "It was wrong, and we shouldn't have done it," she said.
Along with this confession, the mayor offered the kind of full-throated apology we almost never get from public officials: "I accept full responsibility for the pain I have caused my family and his," she said. "I knew my actions could cause damage to my office and the ones I loved, but I did it anyway."
She ended her statement with a pledge: "God will forgive me, but the people of Nashville don't have to. In the weeks and months to come, I will work hard to earn your forgiveness and earn back your trust."
This promise did not seem like an act of damage control. This is the way Megan Barry really talks. The language of full emotional availability is her native tongue.
Perhaps that's why this city loves her. She hugs schoolchildren. She looks genuinely joyful at city parades and festivals. She grieves that too many Nashville teenagers are slain by guns. When Max Barry, her own son and only child, died suddenly last summer, the people of Nashville wept with her. When she spoke openly about the drug addiction that killed him, we marveled at her courage and admired her resolve to bring addiction out of the shadows of shame.
But in a red state like Tennessee, this liberal mayor also has powerful opponents, and they are not idiots. An editorial in the conservative Tennessee Star wasted no time in calling for her resignation: "Barry and the fawning, liberal Nashville media are trying the Clinton defense."
Notice that saying you are taking responsibility is now the same as actually taking responsibility. The normal way in which one would seek forgiveness is to confess, demonstrate contrition and atone for the crime. In other words, usually you suffer for having done wrong. It is the willingness to accept punishment that demonstrates your acceptance of right and wrong. What we have here is a soulless effort to turn bad behavior into a political asset by fooling people about her contrition.
This sort of thing has become a feature of the managerial class, as it has become increasingly feminized. The writer of that Times piece is a typical feminist, lacking anything resembling a rational mind. That's why she celebrates Mayor Sociopath. The great writer Theodore Dalrymple touches on this in his last Taki piece. In a world of emasculated liars, lying becomes the most noble of qualities. That means everyone is now trained to lie about themselves and their intentions. Mendacity is the coin of the managerial realm.
There is another aspect to it. The Mayor is out there performing a one women play intended to let you know how she feels about herself. The expectation is the voters will reward her for being able to tell them how she feels about her own lack of moral scruples. It is a deranged form a solipsism, where all that matters is how one feels about one's own mind. It's why the expression, "I feel" turns up in so much of our public discourse. Truth is defined by how one feels about it at any one moment in time.
As Theodore Dalrymple pointed out, the meritocracy has been warped by this self-absorption, so this habit of mind is being forced onto the younger generations. If you want to get into a good school, you better be good at expressing how you feel about it, in a way that lets the admissions people know you really care. Listen to millennial males talk and it often sounds like girl's night after one of the coven had a fight with her boyfriend. They endlessly yammer on about how they feel and demand a reward for their good intentions.
I've often pointed out that the arrival of women in positions of authority is the death knell of the organization. It means the smart money has moved onto greener pastures, leaving the enterprise to the vultures, who will pick over the corpse for the bits they like. Feminists will get their stuff, homosexuals will make their demands, minorities will air their grievances. In time, the organization collapses under the weight of its own absurdity. That's what's happening in the West. It's a scramble to strip the carcass of civilization.
This will not end well.
Posted in Badder Thoughts, Culture
There are two rules of modern life, with regards to how public debate is conducted, that are are always good to keep in mind when thinking about any issue. One is the Opposite Rule of Liberalism. Whatever the Left is howling about at the moment, imagine the opposite and you're probably getting closer to the truth. The other rule is that cops rarely arrest a first time offender. Usually, someone caught in some sort of skulduggery has been at it for a long time. The law of averages simply caught up with them.
The first rule is an easy one, as we see with the FBI corruption case. Progressive fanatics accused the Trump people of colluding with Boris and Natasha to undermine the election, but it looks like it was the Democrats who were doing deals with foreigners in an effort to subvert the election. It's hard to know if this is just a very elaborate cover for the Uranium One deal or simple sedition, but the FBI, CIA and at least one Democrat Congressman were willing to cut deals with the Russians for dirt on Trump.
The second rule is the one that it may be time to start pondering. What's clear at this point in the FBI scandal is that Comey, McCabe, Strzok and Page were dirty. They cooked up a scheme to game the FISA court, so they could start rummaging around in the lives of Trump and his people. What is unknown is the complete narrative and the role of each player in the scheme. Another thing that is clear is they were exceedingly cavalier about what they were doing. Their recklessness is astonishing for people in their world.
Maybe they were just true believers who became increasingly berserk with passion for the task. Despite their titles, these people are career middle managers and this was their first taste of real action. On the other hand, the image that emerges from the texts between Strzok and Page suggests they did not see this caper as that big of a deal. There's no trace of a guilty mind or any sense they were breaking the law. Instead, even in their cover-up efforts, you see just the bureaucrat's concern for petty office politics.
Then there is the General Flynn issue. The whole case has been weird from the start, as Flynn is a guy thought to be a straight shooter. Yet, he gets charged with lying to the FBI, over something innocuous. Now we're are learning the FBI and possibly Robert Mueller sandbagged Flynn, using fake FBI records to compel a guilty plea. This "new information" used by the Federal judge does not appear to have come from Mueller, but rather the Inspector General. This means Mueller is either a dupe or a crook.
Even if Mueller is just a dupe, and that seems increasingly implausible, it means he staffed his team with dirty cops from the FBI. It also means he staffed his team with dirty lawyers and political hacks from the former administration. After all, those lawyers had to be aware of what the FBI was doing to entrap Flynn. The picture emerging here is of an FBI and a DOJ stocked to the gills with people who struggle to understand the difference between a lie and the truth. It's been a rotten precinct for at least the length of one career.
That brings us to the title of this post. How long has this sort of thing been going on and what other scandals are there? We know the Obama administration weaponized the IRS in an elaborate scheme to undermine Republican groups. We also know the whole thing was broomed by the FBI and DOJ. Knowing that those two organizations have been corrupt for a long time now puts the IRS scandal in a new light. What we may have seen was a cover-up in plain sight, with one dirty agency covering for another dirty agency.
What about the 2012 election? We know that Team Obama was very nervous about re-election after the debacle of the 2010 midterms. There were meetings immediately after to figure out how to get Obama a second term. One result was the overt use of the race card that eventually led to the plague of murders carried out by black lunatics, under the banner Black Lives Matter. How do we know the Feds were not also playing games with Team Romney. Maybe that computer crash was not just bad design after all
Then there is the one story that has never made any sense. That is the case of Judge Roberts reversing course in the ObamaCare decision. He writes an opinion striking down the individual mandate, circulates it around and then suddenly changes course and supports the mandate. It was a such a bizarre turn of events that the dissent just used his brief as the basis of the dissenting opinion. People who investigate blackmail and extortion schemes look for these sorts of anomalous changes in behavior.
One of the lessons of Watergate is that the sort of shenanigans the Nixon people were doing had become so commonplace, they were getting reckless and brazen. The Kennedy clan loved wiretapping opponents. Hoover, of course, was basically the official blackmailer of Washington. The brazen disregard for law and order by the Obama people and the Clinton people suggests a culture of corruption that started long before Strzok and Page decided to become the Bonnie and Clyde of the FBI.
After the election, one of my suggestions was that Trump set up a truth and reconciliation commission. This was a bit tongue and cheek, but not completely. The point of this commission would be to clear the air. Everyone in the government class would have a chance to come forward and admit to their crimes, in order to receive a pardon. It would allow the public to finally see the full scope of the corruption and begin the public debate over how to reform a very corrupt political class. That's looking like a good idea now.
Anarcho-Mendacity
It used to be that conservatives held one piece of high ground in the long running intellectual civil war in the West, that began in the Enlightenment. Conservatives, for all their faults, maintained that the ruling elite of any society had a duty to safeguard the interests of the people. That was the check against social experimentation and the wholesale overturning of traditional institutions. The interests of the people demanded prudence and a deference to the people's traditional ways of living.
Looking back at the intellectual battles in the West, since the Enlightenment, the one thing the sides were forced to agree upon was that the duty of the state, the ruling class and social reformers, was to safeguard the interest of the people. After all, what would be the point of establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat, if it immiserated the proletariat? It was not just a material argument either. Much the critique of communism from the Right was on aesthetic grounds. Communism was the triumph of the ugly and vulgar.
That's probably why libertarianism was always on the sidelines, more of a commentary than a serious political philosophy. That is the correct way to view libertarianism. It was a set of running commentaries on the great works of political economy produced by socialists, communists and Marxists. Frédéric Bastiat does not make a lot of sense in isolation. His significance is only in contrast to 19th century industrial socialism and the reaction to it from the Right. Libertarianism is the peanut gallery of the Enlightenment.
It's why, in the fullness of time, the story of the collapse of mainstream conservatism will include a chapter on the error of fusionism. By grafting onto the Right, libertarian arguments about economics and individual liberty, the Right invited a cancer that gnawed away at its legitimate claims to proper elitism and traditionalism. In other words, they forfeited the one piece of high ground they held. You see this in the debates over immigration. The so-called conservatives no longer have the tools to argue the issue.
This piece at Reason Magazine is a good way of understanding the problem. Nick Gillespie is not a serious person, but he is one of the leading voices of American libertarianism. He is embraced by the so-called conservatives a fellow traveler, even if they have minor quibbles. His response to the immigration debate is a dog's breakfast of mendacity and incoherence. The most charitable way to view his article is that he has never bothered to examine the issue, so he is pulling this out of his ear.
Of course, this is mostly true. Libertarians have not spent a lot of time thinking about immigration and that's because they long ago embraced the materialist view of humanity that animated left-wing ideologies since Marx. From the perspective of modern libertarians, people are just interchangeable meat sticks with no intrinsic value. The measure of a man is his economic utility. A factory worker from Bangladesh is no more or less useful than one from Bangor Maine. Whittaker Chambers was right about them.
It is when they are forced to address an issue like immigration that something else is revealed about libertarians. They are not honest. That which contradicts the faith is denounced or discarded, Gillespie's first point is an example of this. It used to be a article of faith that the laws of supply and demand apply to everything, including labor. Therefore, the only reason business would want foreign labor is that it is cheaper. The reason they like illegal foreign labor is that it is even cheaper than legal foreign labor.
The innumeracy is one thing, but Gillespie is also conjuring a straw man. Yes, wages are one element, but no one makes that the focus of their brief against open borders. He also relies on two logical fallacies that gets a college sophomore flunked out of class. "Virtually all economists, regardless of ideology, agree that immigrants, both legal and illegal, have little to no effect on overall wages" is not an argument. It is a recitation of a spurious Progressive talking point that has shot down many times.
The mendacity is on full display when Gillespie addresses the rule of law. The very core of the libertarian critique of socialism is that it does not abide by the orderly administration of the law. Socialism is an ends justifies the means philosophy, so it cannot, by definition, respect the law. It is why flouting the law can never be tolerated. If a law is found to be unjust or improper, then there is an orderly way correct the error, a lawful way to address the natural mistakes that arise in any social organization.
Gillespie's argument, with regards to illegal immigration is an embrace of anarchy. In this case, he thinks the immigration system is inefficient or incompetent, so that justifies the wholesale abrogation of the law. No reasonable person would argue the immigration system is logical or coherent. That's the reason for this reform effort that is at the heart of the national populism. By cavalierly rejecting efforts to reform the law, embracing a form of deliberate chaos, Gillespie reveals libertarianism to be nothing more than anarchism.
This gets back to the original point. The legitimacy of any ruling class lies in its execution of its duty to its people. A monarch loses his crown, and maybe his head, when it becomes clear that he is serving a narrow interest over the general good. The current managerial class is losing its legitimacy as it becomes clear that it not longer sees itself as having a duty to the people. A stable society is one that embraces a bi-directional hierarchy of duties. There's no place for selfish, materialistic creeds like libertarianism.
This is something the alt-right gets that no one bothers to notice. They often talk about this duty that a people have to one another and their posterity. It's something that the Founders understood, which is why they wrote this in the preamble of the US Constitution. This is why so many of the alt-right started out in libertarianism. They learned all this stuff about the Founding and natural rights, then figured out that modern libertarians really don't believe it. It was just a sales pitch to move product. That's why we have an alt-right.

The New Druze
In the late 10th and early 11th century, a form of mysticism evolved that incorporated elements of Islam, Greek philosophy, Gnosticism, bits from other esoteric faiths, that existed in eastern Mediterranean and what we now call the Middle East. The person credited with spreading this new faith was a guy named Muhammad bin Ismail Nashtakin ad-Darazi. He came to Egypt in 1017 and began preaching and attracting converts. He was branded a heretic and executed in 1018 by the sixth Fatimid caliph.
The Caliph, al-Hakim, was not hostile to the new faith, so much as hostile to ad-Darazi, who he thought was suffering from megalomania. His move against ad-Darazi was to put Hamza ibn 'Ali ibn Ahmad in charge of this new religious sect, which would eventually be known as the Druze. The sixth caliph plays a central role in the Druze faith despite being outside the faith. His actions during his reign as caliph made it possible for the faith to spread and altered its course with the decision to execute ad-Darazi.
This is an interesting bit of serendipity, but it has a connection to our own age in a few important ways. The most obvious, if you are a fan of the period, is al-Hakim is often blamed for starting the crusades. His decision to persecute Christians sent ripples through Europe, eventually leading to the call to recapture the Holy Land. Of course, as with everything about history, that's debatable. There were other forces at work, but it is generally accepted that al-Hakim played a crucial role in the clash with Christendom.
Eventually, of course, two main strains of Islam came to dominate the Arab world, while Christianity dominated Europe, but The Levant has remained a place with lots of religious diversity. The Druze live mostly in Lebanon. The Samaritans are in the Palestinian territories. Maronites, Eastern Orthodox and Melkite Catholics exist in Lebanon. Syriac Christians and Alawites exist in Syria. Of course, various flavors of Judaism dominate in Israel. It is not an accident that instability is the only constant in The Levant.
That's an obvious lesson when examining this part of the world. If one wanted proof of the axiom, Diversity + Proximity = Violence, The Levant has more than enough for any argument. The pathological zeal of Western leaders for inviting the world into Western lands, can only have one end. That's the same we see in Lebanon, a country blessed with a great location, abundant natural resources and natural barriers to larger enemies. Yet, it is a land riven by sectarian violence and the lack of a unifying identity.
There is another lesson from the history of The Levant and that is the cauldrons of diversity tend to create more diversity. The reason this part of the world was popular with schismatics and holy men is it was where the action was in the Middle Ages. Cairo was a wealthy, cosmopolitan place compared to cities of Europe. There were scholars well versed in Greek philosophy, wealthy patrons willing to sponsor scholarship and a wide range of thought to draw from for the creative minded spiritual leader.
That's something to keep in mind as Europe works to invite the world and all of its religions to settle in the West. Throw a bunch of people together with a wide range of beliefs and inevitably it spawns a bunch of new combinations. The flow of Muslims into Europe, a land that has abandoned Christianity for various secular passions, is going to spawn new spiritual movements. The recent conversion to Islam of an AfD leader is the sort of thing that is happening with increasing frequency. Islam is now a thing in Europe.
The other aspect to this is the West is now open country, when it comes to the religion business. Just as Catholicism faced a dying collection of pagan beliefs, Islam is now flowing into a world held together by habit and pointless social fads. The soul of Europe died a long time ago. To be a European today means to be a deracinated stranger in a land that is increasingly unfamiliar to you. That makes Europe fertile ground for a confident religion brought by people thinking they are on the winning side of history.
That does not mean Europe will be Islamic. Islam is all over the world, but it always adapts to the local environment. Islam in Asia is Islam with very Asian characteristics. Islam in the Caucasus is a mountain man version of Islam. Biology is the root of everything and that means cultural items like religion flow from it. The Islamification of Europe will inevitably result in something that is very European. The Germans will have their take, the Danes will have theirs and the French will do something French.
It also means all sorts of other permutation that result from mixing Western empiricism, Oriental mysticism and traditional Christianity. The Druze we started with in this post combine Ismailism, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, Pythagoreanism and Hinduism. It is an esoteric faith that is also an ethnicity. The Druze do not accept converts and they do not allow out-marriage. A person who marries outside the faith is no longer Druze and their children will not be Druze. Imagine something like that happening Bulgaria.
The point of this somewhat disjointed post is that Europe is dead. The West is dead. The civilization that was created by the culture born of the Enlightenment carries on, but the culture that is the West is dead. Something will come to replace it and that something will, in whole or part, be carried by the people now attempting to replace the Europeans. The resulting culture that rises next will be some combination of the ingredients being tossed into the cauldron, but it will look nothing like the ingredients.

Walmart's Vudu is a reverse domain name hijacker
by Andrew Allemann — November 20, 2019 Policy & Law 5 Comments
Vudo.com was registered well before the streaming video company existed.
Vudu filed a cybersquatting complaint against Vudo.com. It was found guilty of reverse domain name hijacking.
Vudu, a streaming video subsidiary of retail giant Walmart, has been found to have attempted reverse domain name hijacking over the domain name Vudo.com.
The company filed a cybersquatting complaint against the domain name owner, even thought the owner registered the domain name well before Vudu was founded. A key requirement of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) is that the Complainant's trademark rights must predate the domain owner's registration. After all, if he registered the domain before the Complainant had trademark rights, then it's hard to prove that he registered the domain to target a non-existent brand.
In finding reverse domain name hijacking, a World Intellectual Property Organization panel wrote:
The Complainant entirely sidesteps the glaring deficiency in its case on the second and third elements of the Complaint. The Domain Name is a homophone of a dictionary word, and it was registered long before the Complainant or its trademark existed. The Complaint repeatedly emphasizes the registration of the Complainant's domain name in 1995 to suggest that the Complainant has senior rights, without disclosing that this registration was by an unrelated party. The Complainant evidently acquired that domain name in 2007 and began using VUDU as a mark in September 2007, as it claimed in its applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Complaint insinuates that the Respondent's change of registrar and IP addresses over time is somehow significant, but the Complainant does not explain how it is significant and offers no evidence or argument whatsoever that the Respondent is not, as claimed, the original and continuous registrant of the Domain Name. Even without glancing at the WIPO Overview 3.0, counsel for the Complainant should have recognized from the plain language of the Policy that at the time of registration the Respondent could not have been attacking a trademark that did not exist and was not in contemplation for years to come.
Vudu was represented by Drinker, Biddle & Reath, LLP. The domain owner was self-represented.

They can pay million for shoes.com, they can pay these guys out to, this is goon behavior.
It always makes me smile when the domain owner represents them self and wins. 🙂
Erich says
It is only allowed to loose 2 UDRP-cases.
One more UDRP-loss by Walmart and all domains owned by Walmart will be deleted.
I see Walmart is going bankrupt soon…

They should lose their trademark privileges after they lose two udrps as well.


Department of Health | Health Information Technology (Health IT) Program | What is Certified EHR Technology?
What is Certified EHR Technology?
A complete EHR that, if used appropriately, will permit a physician to comply with all of the objectives and measures of all stages of meaningful use as defined by the federal government.
An EHR module is defined as any EHR technology that, if used appropriately, would permit a physician to comply with at least one of the objectives and measures of meaningful use. An e-prescribing application is one example of an EHR module that could meet several of the meaningful use objectives. E-prescribing integrated with other modules (e.g., specific registries and a health data exchange module to provide patients with clinical summaries) might meet all of the criteria of meaningful use.
Definitions and additional details for the 2016 Program Requirements for meaningful use objectives and measures can be found here.
Note: open-source, home-grown or self-developed software programs are allowable EHR technologies provided they are certified.
Per federal law and regulations, the New Jersey Medicaid Promoting Interoperability Program requires that only certified EHR technology (CEHRT) may be used to qualify a physician as a meaningful user. The Center's for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) have established standards and other criteria for structured data that EHRs must use in order to qualify for this incentive program. The certification process itself was established in August 2010 and is managed by the ONC. Under the rules of this process, ONC accredits "testing and certifying bodies" that certify EHR technology. The Certified HIT Product List (CHPL) provides the authoritative, comprehensive listing of ONC certified EHR technology, please visit http://oncchpl.force.com/ehrcert.

The Poets of the Nineteenth Century, Volume 1808
edited by Robert Aris Willmott
NINETEENTH CENTURY.
right hand, and forming one of the boundaries to a rich vale chequered by enclosures.
Our Poetry owes many beauties to womanly genius, and in the following pages some specimens of it will be found. The "Psyche" of Mary Tighe yet lives in the memory of Taste ; but Scotland furnishes a greater name : "If you wish to speak of a real poet," Scott said to Ballantyne, "Joanna Baillie is now the highest genius of our country." He numbered the description of Orra's madness with the sublimest scenes ever written, and compared the language to Shakspere's. The Songs of Mrs. Hemans afford a lively contrast. It was her misfortune that she wrote to live, instead of living to write. Her compositions, therefore, are unequal; but in her best pieces the eye is delighted by the glow and colour, and the ear is soothed by the varied cadence-often delicious, never harsh. The visionary tenderness and romance of Mrs. Radcliffe are breathed over the Address to Melancholy, and the Song of a Spirit. The quotation from Hannah More was chosen for the subject which it offered to the Artist, who has so happily embodied it in his genre sketches. The chaste elegance of Mrs. Barbauld is of a higher order ; and very true poetic feeling and utterance are conspicuous in the local pictures and the tender Sonnets of Charlotte Smith, which Miss Seward, clever in her spite, called "everlasting duns upon pity."
One name in the tuneful Sisterhood has a home-interest for me. It seems but yesterday that the shutters were shut in " Our Village," and Mary Russell Mitford went from amongst us.
While turning over the leaves of this book, I have thought of the kindly welcome with which she would have greeted the illustration of her own "Rienzi," if I had taken it to her on one of these soft autumn days which she loved so much, and when her familiar lanes and dingles wear their sweetest colours. She had compared her old abode to a bird-cage that might be laid on a shelf, or hung upon a tree; and her latest dwelling was hardly less odd, or dwarfish. But there, also, she had a cool retreat out-of-doors, in the shade of her garden, and I see her sitting in it now with table and book; constant to all her
PREF A C E.
VERY suggestive of musical and pleasant thoughts is the Picturegallery which this Preface opens; and among them is the recollection of the manner in which these choice Word-paintings have been contributed by the Authors, or their representatives ; always with liberal promptness, and sometimes with expressions of personal good-will, to be gratefully treasured. Nor can I forget the generous enterprise of the Publishers, and the tasteful skill of the Brothers Dalziel, by whom the grace and the beauty of the pencil have been translated into the popular language of their own Art.
The Volume embraces a period of about eighty-five years, for the first Canto of the Minstrel appeared in 1771 ; Beattie survived Cowper only three years; while Percy, exchanging the friendship of Goldsmith for that of Scott, lived into the eleventh year of this century. The dates of these poets might seem to exclude them from our calendar; but, in truth, the fancy of the present age was largely inspired and moulded by the past; and the sentiment of the Minstrel, the naturalness of the Task, and the simplicity of the Reliques, very strikingly reappear in Campbell, Wordsworth, and Scott. Nor has the embellished landscape of Darwin been without imitators; while the footprints of Rogers are easily traced in the trim garden-paths of Hayley. One member of the classic band will be less familiar to general readers : I allude to Professor Crowe, whose descriptive poem is written with fine taste, and in choice numbers. The traveller, walking from Charmouth to Lyme, discovers Lewesdon Hill on the

Steve Hewitt and Moira Kelly
Steve Hewitt works as a British drummer and he is 47 years old. Born on March 22, 1971, he grew up in Northwich, Cheshire, England and is famous for his placebo.
Moira Kelly is now working with a US actress and is 51 years old. She was born on March 6, 1968, and grew up in Queens, New York. She is known for her cutting-edge Kate Mosley (1992), the respected Courtney Blumenthal Inn (1994), and the West Wing Mandy Hampton (1999-2000).
Kelly was the daughter of an Irish immigrant. Her father Peter is a trained concert violinist and her mother is Anne Nurse. Kelly grew up with a third of her six siblings in Ronkonkoma. She grew up as a Catholic. Kelly graduated in 1986 and attended Connetquot High School in Long Island, Bohemia. Then she went to the Marymount University of Manhattan.
When she was young, Kelly was produced in 1984 in a small role in her high school in Annie. Because of illness, the girl who played Miss Hannigan was replaced, and a series of line-ups led to her career choice. As a devout Catholic, Kerry had to decide if she should act and if she wanted to become a nun as a child.

Shredmonkey provides AAA NAID certified Plant based shredding. Our entire process is under video surveillance and audited by 3rd party certification. We can shred paper, film, tapes, 3 ring binders and staples. You do NOT have to remove staples, rubber bands or binder clips before the shred.
You can drop off at our office or we can bring our trucks to you. We provide scheduled service with free consoles for your office as well as one time shred events, clean outs or purges.
You will receive a certificate of destruction as proof of your information being confidentially destroyed to the highest standards.
Questions to ask your future Document Destruction Vendor?
Many company's just pay their membership dues to become a NAID member but do not go through the process of becoming CERTIFIED. Becoming certified is expensive and a big deal. NAID certified companies must follow strict procedures and are subject to unannounced audits and fines. Don't be fooled by some who try to confuse "MEMBER" instead of "CERTIFIED".
Should I use an on-site mobile document shredding company?
The answer is NO. Mobile Shredding outside in the wind, rain and weather in an UN-secure environment is NOT SAFER. Having your documents moved in secure containers, in a locked truck, to a secure monitored facility is inherently safer and more confidential. Your documents are destroyed while being video taped under strict supervision. Our entire process has been reviewed and certified as the most secure.
Ask to see the shredding compartment of the shred truck and you will see non-shredded paper skipped by the shredder. This is risky exposure especially when repairs are needed and random repair men work on the truck. By the way, Shred trucks require a lot of repair.
Pull up on the ramp, ring the bell or call 317-916-1800 and we will come to you and unload your boxes/bags in our secure facility.
We take 'Protecting your Privacy' very seriously, so much so, we have built our business on it! Whether you are residential or a large company, we handle everything the same.

ICEY is a nice little adventure that blends in some great combat with a fourth wall breaking adventure and excellent visuals.
If you're looking for something challenging and a little different to lose yourself in for a few hours, ICEY is super cool. Puns absolutely intended.
ICEY is a fun 2D side-scroller with fast fluid gameplay. The story isn't the most revolutionary, but the narrator makes it interesting. Disobeying the narrator and the resulting encounters are funny, clever, and easily worth the time. If nothing else, the 4th wall breaks make ICEY what it is.
ICEY is not the worst game with a good soundtrack, fast battles and odd storytelling, which suffers from monotony, stupid plot and many minor problems. If you're interested in the genre, then you can try it, but only at a reduced price.


Hackers have thought up the new roguish scheme on theft of money from cash cards of Russians, Izvestia has reported. Malefactors are represented by the staff of banks, ask citizens to call back concerning suspicious operation and to call these cards then remove money. The head of the Zecurion Analytics company specializing in cyber security Vladimir Ulyanov has said that swindlers use federal the law on blocking of the card by bank. Hackers send the SMS with the text "Within the law of June 27, 2018 No. 167-FZ your card is blocked, confirm the last operation on e-mail or phone". Then they communicate with card owners by phone then they can transfer money or pay purchases in online stores by means of the obtained data. About 100 people have already suffered from the new scheme. Damage caused by actions of swindlers reaches 2 million rubles, the staff of the company "the Attacks the Killer" has found out. The head of Zecurion Analytics has noted that the reference to the federal law significantly increases chances of swindlers of success. However actually banks can't block transactions of cards. Such opportunity will appear at credit institutions only on September 26 the current year. At the end of August the State Office of Public Prosecutor of Russia has reported about other new type of fraud with cash cards. According to department, hackers are represented by the staff of banks in messengers where send to citizens messages about write-off of a large sum of money from the card. To cancel transaction, to card owners suggest to call confidential data then there is a conclusion of money.

TEDxBinnenhof
Creative student teams from Inholland The Hague and Diemen contributed to the large-scale 2016 TEDxBinnenhof event in The Hague's Ridderzaal. They organised parallel viewing parties and a competition at Inholland The Hague and Diemen, laying the groundwork for further collaboration between our University of Applied Sciences and the world-famous TEDx organisation.
The Netherlands currently holds the EU Presidency. In keeping with our country's temporary role, the TEDxBinnenhof event on 31 March was themed 'Ideas from Europe'. Twelve European speakers presented their inspiring solutions to global problems in The Hague's Ridderzaal hall. This academic year saw Inholland's Creative Business Faculty collaborate with TEDxBinnenhof. Students from Inholland The Hague's English-language Media and Entertainment Management (IMEM) programme and students from Inholland Diemen's Business Innovation created videos and organised events.
Mission: sharing knowledge and inspiration
Lucie Felix is an IMEM student at Inholland The Hague, where she was jointly responsible for organising the TEDxBinnenhof Viewing Party. The main event in the Ridderzaal was streamed live to the auditorium, and audience members enjoyed talks from a range of inspiring speakers, who worked in fields like gaming, social media and business. Students had an opportunity to network with businesses offering interesting work placement opportunities. The day was all about sharing and discussing ideas, in line with the TEDx philosophy. Lucie: 'Inholland and TEDx basically have the same mission: encouraging people to share their knowledge and inspiration, be enterprising and follow their dreams. That is the basis for this collaboration.'
Passions on camera
The winners of the Inholland X-Talks were announced during the viewing parties on 31 March. Earlier that month, the participating students could be found outside our locations in Diemen and The Hague with two rented Volkswagen vans. They persuaded MEM, IMEM and Business Innovation students to describe their passion for the industries in which they will be working on camera. Lecturers had an opportunity to share their passion for education. The videos are available on the X Talks Facebook page. The speaker to get the most likes received the Social Media Guru award.
First-year Business Innovation-student Redouane Amine was involved in organising the X-Talk and viewing party in Diemen, along with several of her fellow students. 'The more opportunities people have to share their inspiration and motivations, the more they can contribute to their environment. We offer them the stage they need to do so. Videos play a crucial role in that process: they are the most effective way of reaching people nowadays.'
A microphone for others
IMEM student Baris Artinöz describes how almost thirty people shared their individual passions while filming the X-Talks in The Hague. One particular X-Talk really stuck with him: 'The participating students had each brought an object that represented them. One student was holding a photo of a microphone. I expected her to start singing, but as she explained to the camera, she wants to be an instrument that amplifies other people's voices. I was really touched by her passion. I realise we are doing the same thing by organising this project. Our team also serves as a microphone for students and lecturers who are eager to share their passions and life stories. We really appreciate this opportunity to help them find their voice.'
Both parties were extremely pleased with the collaboration: Inholland and TEDx have agreed to organise another joint event next year. Our thanks go out the the enthusiastic students who helped make TEDxBinnenhof 2016 such a success!

PayPal eyes growth in alliances with Vodafone,…
PayPal eyes growth in alliances with Vodafone, America Movil
By Spencer Soper and From Bloomberg News | McClatchy-Tribune, The Morning Call
PUBLISHED: February 22, 2016 at 5:30 pm | UPDATED: August 17, 2016 at 4:51 am
PayPal forged new mobile-wallet partnerships with telecommunications giants Vodafone Group in Europe and America Movil in Latin America, highlighting a key growth strategy for the digital-payments company after its separation from online marketplace eBay.
PayPal Chief Executive Officer Dan Schulman is looking for new customers in Vodafone's 454 million users and America Movil's 286 million subscribers. Schulman is scheduled to announce the partnerships Monday at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, to highlight how PayPal is expanding beyond a button to pay for things on websites into a mobile wallet platform enabling users to send money abroad and pay for items in stores by scanning with their smartphones.
"We're taking our platform of innovation and partnering with some of the leading mobile companies around the world," Schulman said in an interview. "You're beginning to see this vision come to life of PayPal being the partner of choice that helps merchants and consumers transact and move money in the world of digital commerce."
When PayPal was part of eBay, it traditionally entered new markets along with the online marketplace, gaining exposure as more shoppers and merchants bought and sold goods through the online bazaar. PayPal split from eBay in July and now considers mobile carriers key partners. PayPal provides a platform for the carriers' digital wallets, generating new revenue sources from transactions and potentially new PayPal account holders. PayPal had 179 million active users at the end of 2015, mostly in the U.S. and Europe.
The Vodafone partnership will enable PayPal's European customers to use Android smartphones to make touch-less payments at Visa terminals, starting in Spain and expanding to additional markets this year. The America Movil deal entails creating digital wallets for the company's 140 million Tel Cel and Claro customers in Mexico and Brazil.
PayPal will also expand international money transfer business Xoom into Africa, allowing U.S. customers to send money to people in Kenya with M-Pesa accounts. M-Pesa, which means money in Swahili, is a mobile-phone based financial service launched by Vodafone in 2007 targeting those not served by traditional banks. It now has 24.6 million customers in 11 countries, including South Africa, Tanzania, Afghanistan, India, Romania and Albania.
PayPal's most visible business is processing payments on websites through PayPal user accounts linked to bank accounts and credit cards. It is increasingly a behind-the-scenes payments solution, powering such mobile applications as Uber Technologies' ride-hailing service and Airbnb's room-booking app. It purchased Xoom for $890 million last year and it is experimenting with buy buttons seen on social media platforms such as Pinterest.
The new mobile carrier partnerships are consistent with PayPal's strategy of expanding beyond its traditional business of processing payments on websites, said Gil Luria, an analyst at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles.
"Paypal doesn't want to limit where it is involved because this industry is so big and fast moving," he said.

Well, here it is. After two days of getting the open source code from Linden Lab to compile under XCode, I've managed to raise up to Zen Linden's challenge and compiled the WindLight First Look Viewer for my Mac.
Zen Linden hinted that the next version of the WindLight FL will be under development (based on the input from a tremendous number of users who tested it) "for a few weeks". For those of you that can't wait until Christmas or 2010 for a new version, I've compiled my own from the sources.
The open source version of Second Life uses a proprietary, closed-source, and no-distributable commercial JPEG2000 decoding library. It is ultrafast, and this is very likely the major reason why LL still bundles it with their own in-house-compiled SL viewer. For us mortals, it means using a regular open source library, which has perhaps a third of the performance or worse. This means that the home-brewn variety of Second Life is painfully slow. On my reference sim, where I've got 30 fps with my iMac (2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB RAM, ATI Radeon X1600), I had about 15 fps under LL's own WindLight First Look Viewer, and… only 5-7 fps under the open source version. It's pretty much unusable, except, obviously, if you really, really wish to take a picture using the WindLight weather system and "forgot" to take it when LL's own WindLight FL client still connected to the main grid — and can't afford to wait until Christmas or so for the next release (LL will be too busy with the voice FL client now).
Sadly, I can't afford to pay Amazon S3 to host files there (I have an account, though!…), so, unlike LL, the downloads here will be painfully slow. To cut the size of the download, I did two things: first, strip out the debugging code from the executable (I wonder why LL doesn't do the same on the Deployment version, it saves you 25 MBytes of precious RAM — perhaps it's used in some way by the CrashReporter or something). Secondly, I've just managed to get the Intel version compiling correctly for some reason. Sorry — I've also got an old PowerBook G4 pretty much able to run SL, but really, 0.5 FPS with this home-brewn version is really not worth the effort 🙂 Although I imagine that the latest batch of G5 Macs might be able to run it with a handful of FPS; so if you pester me for it, I might be able to compile a PowerPPC version as well, if it's worth the trouble.
Thirdly, don't complain if this doesn't work for you. This compiled build of SL is provided "as-is". If it works for you, fine. If it crashes, I don't have the slightest idea why. If you lose all your money and your inventory, and LL says that they can't do anything about it because you've been using a non-supported compiled version of SL, it's your bad luck. I can't help you either.
