Anti-Federalists
As opposed to Federalists, people that feared a strong central government, supported states' rights, and opposed ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Anti-federalists insisted that a Bill of Rights must be included in the Constitution to protect individual's rights against a powerful central government. Anti-federalists typically were members of the poorer classes, but also included patriots Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, James Monroe, and Richard Henry Lee. Anti-federalists strongly opposed the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in Virginia and New York.
Articles of Confederation
The document that served as the first official constitution of the United States from 1781 through 1789. The Articles of Confederation dictated a loose organization of 13 independent states, joined together with equal representation in a Congress, in order to provide for the common defense. The Articles proved too weak to effectively govern the young nation, however, and delegates meeting at the Annapolis Convention in 1786 recommended that a new convention be called to discuss revision of the Articles. SparkNote on the Articles of Confederation.
A confederacy is a form of government in which independent states are loosely joined, typically for common defense. Each independent state maintains power over the majority of its own affairs.
As opposed to anti-Federalists, people that favored a strong central government, feared too much power in the hands of the masses, and strongly supported the U.S. Constitution. Federalists were typically members of the cultured and propertied classes, and included Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. The Federalist perspective was codified in the form of 85 essays that appeared in New York newspapers between 1787 and 1788, and later published as The Federalist.
To approve or accept an official or legal document. Article VII of the U.S. Constitution states that 9 states must ratify the document before it became the official law of the land.
The official document that is the basis of the U.S. Government. The U.S. Constitution was officially put into effect on March 4, 1789 and has been in effect, with some amendments, ever since. SparkNote on the U.S. Constitution
Annapolis Convention
Held in September 1786 at the request of Virginia, this meeting of the states aimed to improve the uniformity of commerce. Only 12 delegates participated, including Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. Sensing a statewide agreement on the importance of revising the Articles of Confederation, this convention resolved to call another statewide convention in May of 1787. This convention would become known as the Constitutional Convention.
Scheduled to begin on May 14, 1787 in Philadelphia PA, the Constitutional Convention progressed through the summer to establish a new form of government as described by the U.S. Constitution. Although the convention was called for the purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation, delegates from 12 of the 13 states (Rhode Island was absent) expressed an overwhelming interest in a totally new, and stronger, form of central government. Upon ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1789, this agreed upon form of government was put into effect and has operated as the government of the United States ever since.
Ratification of the U.S. Constitution
Article VII of the U.S. Constitution indicates that the document would officially go into effect upon the ratification of 9 of the 13 state ratifying conventions. When New Hampshire, the 9th state to do so, formally ratified the Constitution, the Constitutional Convention appointed a committee to begin planning the transition to the new government. Planning for the new government was underway even before Virginia, New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island had formally approved of the government plan.
Shays' Rebellion
Daniel Shays organized farmers throughout New England to protest legislation that increased taxes and demanded immediate debt-repayment. When the state legislature refused to respond, Shays and his armed followers closed the courts in Western Massachusetts in protest of foreclosed properties. The rebellion came to a head when Shays was defeated while trying to seize a federal arsenal of weapons in Springfield, MA on January 25, 1787. This rebellion demonstrated the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, and convinced many states of the need for a stronger central government.

January 9, 2018 July 19, 2020 • SOLdrummer
A number of years have passed since the last performances of James Demars's Sabar: Concerto for African Drums and Orchestra. But now the time has come again. It's happening in Memphis, TN, thanks to MSO music director, Robert Moody, who conducted the premiere in Phoenix so many years ago. While it will be the first performance ever done without Mark Sunkett (for whom the piece was composed), I will have the great honor of playing alongside three of the most masterful sabar drummers I've known: Medoune Yacine Gueye, Dethie Sarr Diouf, and Abdou Mbaye. They are my Sabar Dream Team!
Dame Gueye
Pape Diouf
Abdou M'Baye

Follow Up to Memphis
The performances were a great success, despite Mother Nature throwing her worst at us. We got in one day of solid rehearsals wit the orchestra and dancers before Memphis was covered in ice. But the show did go on, to great acclaim. See this link to a review that appeared in the Memphis Flyer:
https://www.memphisflyer.com/MusicBlog/archives/2018/01/18/the-mso-bringing-political-resonance-to-20th-century-works
In spite of the unexpected weather, which made everything more difficult, we had a wonderful visit. We did manage some sight-seeing and good eating, and met some really wonderful people. Thanks, Memphis!!
The MSO puts out a beautiful printed program, also made available online. Program notes are on pages 28-31:

Responses to the Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution
The Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution
The Response to Kimura (1968) and King and Jukes (1969)
Initial Reactions and Citation Analysis
Reflecting on this early period, James Crow writes that: "The initial response was generally one of dismay and disbelief. The reactions ranged from skepticism to outright rejection. To some it was utter nonsense." To many evolutionary biologists neutral changes were simply uninteresting; the proper business of evolutionary biologists was the study of adaptations.
(See James Crow, "Motoo Kimura: An Appreciation," in Population Genetics and Molecular Evolution, eds. T. Ohta and K. Aoki. Tokyo: Japan Scientific Societies Press, 1985, p. 1.)
"Non-Darwinian Evolution:" What's in a name?
King and Jukes chose the provocative title of "Non-Darwinian Evolution" for their paper, and the name stuck to the hypothesis until the early 1970's when it was redubbed the neutral theory of molecular evolution. Kimura was not fond of the "non-Darwinian" label and asked King and Jukes to change it to emphasize molecular evolution, instead of evolution in general. King and Jukes had choosen their title with the intention of provoking the evolutionary establishment. Although both reviewers rejected their article, it was published upon appeal and the blasphemous title remained unchanged.
(See King's recollections of this episode)
Citations from ISI Web of Science.
The longer and more data-rich King and Jukes paper became a citation classic in 1983 in part as a result of its strong initial reception. More recently Kimura's 1968 paper has begun to recieve more citations. Is this perhaps an artifact of how the neutral theory is being remembered?

She blinked and the world go gaga! Yes, we are talking about the Internet sensation Priya Prakash Varrier. A new video of her is doing the rounds. In this video, she can be seen having hairstyling. While doing that she can be seen making her eyebrows playing up-down and blinking.
To let you know, Priya Prakash often shares her posts on the Instagram. Before 3 months she was a simple girl living in a hostel but now she is a star all because of her blink. After becoming famous, one can notice changes in her looks too.
Did you know that? Reportedly Priya charges Rs 8 lakhs for her single social media post. Not only this, many big brands are approaching Priya for the endorsements.
Priya Prakash's eyebrow-dance and the wink seem to have floored fans across the country. Priya made her debut with the Malayalam film Oru Adaar Love, directed by Omar Lulu. In February 2018, the team released a promo song from the film, and it shot its way straight into people's hearts. Thanks to Priya, who has enticed everyone with her expressions in the promo. Especially that wink, that has left the country in love with her.


Ah Paris, when it gets crazy, people screaming, traffic jammed with cars honking, their passengers half outside, sitting on the open windows, carrying french flags, shaking pedestrians hands as they pass along... It's 1am, and it's going to last long into the night. Also because it's Saturday.
Paris, when people bond spontaneously over a soccer victory, well not any kind of victory. The victory of the challenger over the favorite, the one no one hoped for anymore, in a country going nowhere. Foreigners should understand that the stake is not just a sport one. After the "No" to the European referundum, the loss of the Olympics game, and a series of governmental pathetic public displays of disaffection and confusion, everybody was like, we're the losers of the world.
So like in 1998, if France wins the world cup, the "black-blanc-beur" national pride will be praised again, and we might even get optimism again in the air.
Last time, it lasted until 2002, until we woke-up one day with the National Front party in the 2nd round of the elections and we had to cope with another 5 years of Chirac. This time, the elections are coming up quickly - campaigns have already started - in this competition, I will too support the social-democrate challenger against the policeman favorite.

MRI in Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy
J Gordon Millichap
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, US
The MRI findings in four children aged 3 to 10 years with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy are reported from the Chiba Children's Hospital, Japan.
Keywords: Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy, Cerebellar Atrophy, Muscle Atrophy
How to Cite: Millichap, J.G., 1993. MRI in Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy. Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 7(2), pp.11–12. DOI: http://doi.org/10.15844/pedneurbriefs-7-2-5
The MRI findings in four children aged 3 to 10 years with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy are reported from the Chiba Children's Hospital, Japan. T2 - weighted images showed bilateral diffuse hyperintensity of the cerebellar cortex and cerebellar atrophy. Autopsy changes in one patient included cerebellar atrophy, ventricular dilatation, spheroids in the gray matter, loss of neurons, axonal swellings, and extensive astrogliosis. [1]
COMMENT. The authors comment that these MRI findings may be specific to infantile neuoaxonal dystrophy and permit early diagnosis. The clinical picture includes upper and lower motor neuron deficits, including progressive weakness, difficulty in walking, hypotonia, muscle atrophy, hyperactive reflexes, Babinski signs, and optic atrophy. Diagnosis is confirmed by peripheral nerve biopsy, which shows globular swellings on the axons. Axonal swelling may also occur in Hallervorden-Spatz disease, Friedreich's ataxia, and other neuro-degenerative diseases, however.

Healthcare providers outspend other industries on lobbying
by Alicia Caramenico |
Hospitals, insurers, doctors and unions in Massachusetts shelled out more than $11.6 million on lobbying in 2011 alone, according to a review of state records by the Associated Press. Moreover, the healthcare industry spent a total of $51.6 million from 2007 to 2011. Comparatively, the casino gambling industry spent $11.4 million on lobbying during that period.
Partners HealthCare spent the most on lobbying during those five years, at $2.9 million, while the Massachusetts Nurses Association spent $2 million, the article noted.
Harvard Pilgrim Health Care dedicated $1.6 million toward lobbying efforts, with Vanguard Health Systems at $1.42 million and Children's Hospital Boston at $1.38 million.
Partners HealthCare attributes the hefty lobbying expenditure to keeping the lines of communication with lawmakers open as they explore new ways to control rising healthcare costs, the health system's spokesman told the AP.
Meanwhile, in California, hospitals, insurers, physicians and unions spent $35.7 million on lobbying last year, outspending every other non-government industry, reported California Healthline.
Kaiser Foundation Health Plan spent $3.5 million, and the California Hospital Association spent $2.6 million, earning them the top two spots.
According to the hospital association, efforts to pass another round of hospital provider fees was one of the largest lobbying expenditures for hospitals in 2011, according to the article.
The next major spending industries in California, manufacturing and industrial interests and education, trailed far behind at $23.8 million and $19.4 million, respectively.

Wednesday night, beneath an inverted five-pointed star hanging from the ceiling of the Masonic Lodge at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, the artists Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe presented "Shadow Pool: A Natural History of the San San International" to a crowd of 350 that included Gus Van Sant and Jeffrey Deitch, who commissioned the piece for the Museum of Contemporary Art. This multimedia extravaganza — part slide show and lecture, part fashion show, part art installation, part rock 'n' roll freakout — is the latest iteration of the fictional parallel universe the duo has been imagining and manifesting since 2008, with installations at Ballroom Marfa, Deitch Projects, Miami Art Basel and Country Club at R.M. Schindler's Buck House in West Hollywood, which they transformed into an artfully ravaged psychedelic laboratory, the onetime site of out-there experiments with a drug called "Marasa." "Shadow Pool" expands upon and then explodes this mythology, holding up the shards for our sensory pleasure, and confusion.
Described by Lowe as "a spectacle that eclipses a spectacle that eclipses a spectacle," the piece unfurls the narrative of the San San International, the largest convention in the world, held at a monolithic convention center located between San Francisco and San Diego (hence the name San San). Like a wild-haired professor seated on a throne onstage at the Masonic Lodge, Freeman explained in a deadpan voice that the center had 13 floors, thousands of entrances, "a lot of atriums," and that Lionel Richie and U2 had performed there. So massive is the San San "Metroplex" that it has given rise to wildly stylish street gangs with names like the Shade, Starchamber and the Fort, "techno hippies represented here by Robert Redford," added Freeman, commenting on a slide. As footage from old Doublemint gum commercials played on the screen, Jennifer Herrema and her new band Black Bananas settled into a heavy psych-synth groove, giving a menacing air to the grinning, green-clad twins.
The music got louder, smoke filled the air, and models representing the various tribes began walking through the hall bearing artifacts and relics. A woman in a lenticular dress carried a silver pig's head on a platter, presumably an homage to the yippie prank, and another in a glittering black evening dress bore Rodarte shoes aloft. And they kept coming: Starchamber, vaguely Tibetan in robes and furs, offering crystals; the Hindu Preppies, who wore garlands of marigolds and mehndi tattoos with their country club attire; "'80s curators" in jewel tones; savagely tan blondes in salt-encrusted prom dresses; a quartet in Lady Di wigs; and a group in airbrushed pornographic T-shirts, carrying neon-colored frosted cakes. Some of the most hilarious and imaginative pieces were caftans and hoods made from printed towels found on the Venice boardwalk and collaged together — elephants grafted with sharks, panther bodies with human heads.
Unfortunately Dahl's grandmother wasn't available to comment; she'd already left for the after-party.

I haven't blogged since October of last year. This is because any spare time I've had, has been spent writing my book. No one has the time you need to research and write a book spare in their day-to-day lives – it has to be carved out by sacrificing other things and using any spare moment that crops up. Staying late for the Christmas concert? Time to write. Got a seat on the tube on the way home? Write. Early to meet friends for drinks? Glass of wine and write. It's meant seeing less of my friends and family than I'd like and it's meant my blog has had to take a backseat for the last few months.
But now, it's done. Well, I say done – it's currently with my lovely editor who will spend the next few weeks reading through it before sending it back to me for further editing. But, for now, there is nothing more I can do; for the first time since 19th January 2017 I don't have a deadline looming over me. This means two things: firstly – time to get out of the country for a bit (which is why I'm writing this in Amsterdam) and secondly, I can finally get back to blogging.
This falls at a good time as the DfE have treated us to three pieces of "news" this half term holiday: the first is that they are dropping the two-year time cap in which trainee teachers have to pass the QTS skills tests. The second, was confirmation that the Year 4 Timetables Check is going to be trialed later this year – not really news but, as Michael Tidd points out, it's a good way to draw people's attention away from the third announcement. The third, and most disheartening, piece of news is that the writing assessment framework, the one that most teachers widely acknowledge is not fit for purpose, is here to stay.
When the new assessments were launched in 2016 there was a substantial level of criticism. Some said the assessments were too hard, others said that we didn't have enough time to prepare the children for them. My main criticism at the time was of the writing assessment. It was unclear, included made-up definitions (exclamation sentences anyone?) and the advice schools received on how to administer and moderate them seemed to vary widely.
Since then, some progress has been made to address these flaws. Exclamation sentences have been dropped for example, and, whereas in the former framework teachers needed to have evidence that a pupil demonstrated attainment in all of the statements to reach one of the standards, pupils can now be awarded a standard without meeting all the criteria if they have a "particular weakness." However the whole framework still lacks clarity. The "particular weakness" exemption can only be used "on occasion" and "with good reason" – although the examples they have provided don't really tell us "what occasion" or "why." The assessments have been described by the STA as neither "best fit" nor "secure fit" which I guess means they are unfit for purpose. The assessed work must be independent (a word that we as a profession still don't have a shared definition for – does this mean no modelling? No discussion or sharing of ideas? What about having displays up with key vocab etc…) and the spellings can be from a spelling test, the handwriting from a handwriting book etc… Moderation is going to be an absolute nightmare and ultimately the results will be meaningless. Whilst the DfE have tried to make the assessments more flexible they appear to have just further muddied the already muddied water.
Now, about the times table check: on the whole I think this isn't a terrible idea (which I understand is a very easy thing to say whilst working at a school that won't have to do the check.) It's a 25 minute test and the results won't be published at school level or used by Ofsted – although I do understand why many teachers don't trust this to be case. However, if it makes learning times tables a priority in lower KS2 then, as an upper KS2 teacher, I believe that to be no bad thing. A secure knowledge of times tables is invaluable for understanding fractions, percentages, division, averages, area, perimeter, algebra etc… Teachers know this and are already teaching them. Every school I know has had it's own system of testing times tables so I doubt this Year 4 Check will require any huge curriculum adjustments. If anything, I would like to see these sorts of low-stakes, short assessments happening more often in place of one, high-stakes test at the end of Primary school.
My main criticism of the times table check is the sheer hypocrisy. The same week the DfE confirmed the Year 4 Times Table check they also announce that they are scrapping the two year lock-out period that currently prevents trainee teachers from retaking the QTS skills test for two years if they fail it three times. Now, trainee teachers can take the tests as many times as they need to and teachers who have been previously banned from re-sitting will be allowed to from this week. It seems bizarre to me that children don't get unlimited attempts in tests but their teachers do. Surely we have to be ahead of our pupils and our knowledge and skills should far outstretch theirs? I had a look at the practice papers and there's nothing on there that my Year 5 couldn't answer. I don't think it's too much to ask that the adults teaching them should be to answer them as well.
These tests, we were told, were introduced to ensure we were getting that teachers had the high level of maths and English skills necessary to deliver the curriculum. Given their decision to scrap them when faced with a recruitment crisis, can we assume that the DfE have decided the highest standards aren't important to them anymore? And rather than address the reason teachers are leaving the profession, or why graduates don't want to become teachers, we will just make it even easier for people to become teachers? This isn't happening in medicine or law – they have high expectations of the people entering the profession.
So in my opinion, this is a mistake. If anything I think we should follow Finland's lead where all teachers have a Master's degree and teaching is a well-paid, highly prized profession. As a result of these measure competition for teacher training places has risen and, last year, only 7% of applicants to the master's course in Helsinki were accepted. Raise the bar and make sure you keep hold of those who get over it by addressing the reason teachers are leaving the profession in the first place.
Good to read this and glad you have found time to blog again. I agree with almost everything but…..
I am not sure knowing times tables actually helps with 'understanding' those other concepts. I have met several teens who, while being able to have almost instant recall of times tables could not explain fractions, or percentages or decimals etc. Understanding takes more than rote learning tables.
Anyway so glad you don't have to administer the test!
I agree with you that teaching should be a highly prized profession and that to enter it, the standards should be high as well. However, a Master's Degree seems narrow to me in that it cuts out only those who are academically incapable. What about the character and personality of a person? I have known people who struggled academically that can hardly qualify for a Master's yet have great skills for working with children and make dedicated, hard-working, and understanding tutors. I am quite sure that I am not as educated as you. Do you have some idea how we could incorporate the test of character into the requirements for educators?
Thank you very much for your impressive blog, sure I will follow your tips.
Enjoy reading your blog, though you seem a bit inflexible and definite in your opinions, without considering how they affect others.
As a Headteacher and a Leadership Development Coach I've met outstanding, aspiring teachers who are a speedy with a calculator, a whiz on IT, can code and write computer programmes, expert with Excel , but because they are dyslexic they can't complete the Maths test in 18 seconds. ( Their understanding of concepts is secure. They can complete it in their own time. ) Sadly teachers lost to the profession. One of these teachers is successfully teaching in Japan. What a waste for the UK!

Verdant, rugged, and with the dagger sharp peak of Wetterhorn rising above it all, the Wetterhorn Basin is one of my favorite hikes in Colorado to enjoy on a summer day.
Best experienced as an overnight trip or as a long day-hike, this trail offers spectacular and quintessential Colorado backcountry scenery for the hiker willing to tackle its 10.6 mile (or more, depending on how far you wish to go) roundtrip distance as well as its 2,980 ft. of elevation gain. This hike is unique in that some of the most rugged and fluted peaks in the San Juan mountain range can be seen from vantage points throughout the duration of the hike. Views of Coxcomb, Precipice, and Wetterhorn Peak can be had from various vantage points that come often throughout this hike.
The West Fork Trailhead is located at the end of a 1 mile section of rugged 4wd road. For passenger cars, park and begin hiking at a point just before the West Fork Creek crossing where a sign is posted indicating a narrow and rough road ahead.
From the rough road sign, hike another 1 mile along the road to the West Fork Trailhead. From the trailhead, the trail remains above tree line for most of the way, and follows the West Fork of the Cimarron River as it tumbles down from near a high mountain pass. The trail enters the Uncompahgre wilderness at the 0.6 mile mark. For another 2.2 miles, the trail ascends the West Fork valley climbing through occasional forest and over gulleys washed deep by heavy snow melt and avalanche debris and eventually enters a clearing at the head of the valley. Here, the trail switch-backs toward a rocky pass visible just above. Coxcomb Peak's reddish cliff face can be seen to to the leftside of the pass. Beyond the pass is Wetterhorn Basin, a high treeless basin on the western side of 14,015 ft. Wetterhorn Peak. From the pass, views of Precipice Peak, Chimney Rock, Redcliff, and Coxcomb Peak stretch toward the north. Continuing beyond the pass, the trail descends heading south where the imposing wedge shaped summit of Wetterhorn Peak comes into view.
You may notice that these peaks have Swiss names like Wetterhorn and Matterhorn. These peaks remind many of Switzerland. In fact, the nearby town of Ouray is known as the 'Switzerland of America.' Just like in the Swiss Alps, during the peak of summer, abundant alpine wildflowers make a showy display here in the Wetterhorn basin. If you have time, and weather permits, head for the ridge to the south of Wetterhorn basin for spectacular views to the south and west. Return back the way you came.
Camp over 100 ft. from lakes and streams.
No motor vehicle, bicycle or hand cart use within wilderness boundaries.

For each word, the row in a table shows the principal original liberal meaning(s) followed by the new meanings and confusions.
The core set includes seven words, liberal, liberty, freedom, justice, property, contract, and equality, for which certain original-liberal meanings were rather definite and which then, subsequently, principally in the 1880-1940 period, were confused or undermined. The story of these seven words is the core exhibit of this website.
Liberal/Liberalism A serious presumption of liberty, advanced by the scheme of liberal semantics; a proclivity toward reducing the governmentalization of social affairs. Government redistribution, welfarism, and interventionism generally, based on precept of overlordism; a proclivity toward augmenting the governmentalization of social affairs.
Liberty and Freedom Others not messing with your stuff (liberty is the flipside of commutative justice); understood on an individualist/atomistic configuration of ownership. (1) Liberation of the polity to act and create meaning; (2) positive capabilities for the individual; (3) rights to terms prescribed by government (or "civil liberty").
Justice Commutative justice (CJ) is primary; you do CJ when you refrain from messing with others' stuff; CJ is the flipside of the liberty principle; injustice implies an action that violates a principle of commutative justice; CJ is grammar-like. The undoing of the atomistic configuration of ownership destroys the sense of grammar in government rules regarding private doings; "social justice," which one can think of as distributive justice now on a collectivist/overlordist configuration of ownership.
Equality The principles of commutative justice go for all equally; everyone equally is "king" of his stuff. Equality before the law. (1) Equality in condition (e.g., wealth or income) or opportunity. (2) Equality in ability to participate in political processes, notably elections.
Next is a table of another three words – equity, law, and rights. Their stories are perhaps less exemplary of what this website aims to show. I offer some further remarks about equity and rights in an endnote here.
Equity Procedural fairness in a sense of equal regard or dignity of individuals, within the system of governmental law and lawmaking; responsibly interpreting the fine points, gray areas, delimitations, etc. of the law; judging whether a law is good or just (in the widest sense of justice). Equal weight in reckoning social welfare; getting one's "fair" slice of a collective pie (often justified by citing the diminishing marginal utility of wealth).
Law Law is rules given by a law-giver, but the law-giver can be theological (God) or figurative ("nature," "society," "custom," "convention," etc.). Laws are not confined to rules enforced or authorized by government (a notion itself figurative, in a way), but also may be informal, customary, and moral. Every rule is subject to judgment based on higher rules, and each level of rules may be denominated "law." (1) Some writers wish to confine "law" to governmental legal rules; legal positivism. (2) Some writers emphasize government law as the means or expression of societal purpose, organization, or solidarity.
Rights The most central rights are those of CJ/liberty. Rights imply duties, but duties are not confined to governmental legal impositions. They include moral duties (or accountability to disapproval, disapprobation, and abstention). Thus, rights are very broad and take different schemes. (1) Rights are only what are enforced by governmental legal impositions. All rights are "positive." (2) Schemes of rights at odds with the atomistic configuration ("right to food", etc.).
Other words not yet treated by this website, such as privilege, coercion, force, consent, and voluntary also fit the broader story, I believe. Also, it is my impression that during the late 20c rule of law underwent something of a change, now often meaning simply compliance and enforcement of government rules and procedures, whatever they be, whereas older notions of rule of law had to do with such things as integrity to basic bottom-up understandings, generality/simplicity, coherence, and common applicability of the rules to government officials and ordinary citizens alike.
Equity: The word was perhaps not so central in classical liberalism to begin with; see James Reddie (1840, 123-25) for a discussion of multiple meanings. Changes in meaning came perhaps especially sometime after the core period of transition 1880-1940. The Ngram shows a significant upturn from 1970, perhaps because "equity" became the term in economics (the social sciences generally?) for distributional issues.
Rights: For classical liberals, the rights corresponding to commutative justice and liberty were central, but focus on such rights is simply a corollary of focusing on commutative justice and liberty; it doesn't necessarily reflect a special understanding of the concept of rights. Some libertarians today might want to treat rights (as well as law) differently than I have.


Today I love….just looking at weheartit all the time!!!
My home town….Melbourne, Victoria, Australia….
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!!! Oi, Oi, Oi!!!
Here is a wonderful little short film about olde Melbourne town that I came across – by Chris Costuna….
Melbourne (pronunciation: /ˈmɛlbərn/, locally also [ˈmælbən, -bn̩]) is the capital and most populous city in the state of Victoria, and also the second most populous city in Australia. The Melbourne City Centre (also known as the "Central Business District" or "CBD") is the hub of the greater geographical area (or "metropolitan area") and the Census statistical division—of which "Melbourne" is the common name. As of late 2009, the greater geographical area had an approximate population of 4 million. A resident of Melbourne is known as a "Melburnian".
I believe this article may just have been written for me!
I am actually currently in the process of downsizing and kid-proofing my house of junk (pleasure)….anyone who knows me will tell you that I have a lot of stuff (crap)….but this is all a good thing – ie. good for me; good for my sanity (the emotional benefits of de-cluttering are massive as we shall see below), good for my house, good for my finances and good for my health.
My aim is to fit the kids and Mr. Big and all their stuff in comfortably but also make myself a little teeny weeny craft corner in the kitchen so that I can set up the sewing machine and shoe making materials there….and of course all of this will also make Mr. Big feel more at home when he moves in….
This is an excerpt from a great post I found on a fave blog of mine, Zen Habits.
Simplifying is liberating and beautiful.
Simplicity. It is a lovely ancient spiritual tradition that has seen a recent resurgence in popularity. As we try to make sense of our erratic economy and the accompanying financial anxiety, it is natural to leap to a less risky lifestyle extreme — stop spending, scale back, live lean.
In spite of embracing the concept of simplicity, most people really love their stuff, and they love acquiring more stuff. Like our attitudes about a healthy diet, our feelings about material things are complicated. We know what's good for us, but we just don't want to give up what we like. Our stuff makes us feel good.
Is it possible to live a simple life and still love stuff?
How much letting go of stuff really counts toward simplifying anyway?
Living simply and detaching from material things will make you happier. There is real research and lots of anecdotal evidence to support the truth of this. But is it possible that some material things can add to our happiness, sense of contentment and joy in life? If so, how do you go about deciding what's good stuff and what's bad?
Walk from room to room. Do you see things that you never use and don't really care about? Why not give them away or sell them? Clear physical and psychic space by removing the "dead wood" in your environment. Someone else might really need these things.
Do you have things you own for hobbies that you never pursue? Do you have a kitchen full of gadgets but you rarely cook?
It helps bring family and friends together in a creative, meaningful way.
Apply mindful purging to your current lifestyle and belongings, as well as thoughtful consideration to your future purchases. Carefully examine your motivations for keeping possessions or buying new things. Once you allow things to serve your soul, rather than you being a slave to your things, your life will evolve into an artful harmony between what you have and who you are.

Curtin graduates should be proud of graduating from a top university says vice-chancellor
标签:Curtin Malaysia
The graduation stage party.
Miri – 28 April 2016 – All graduates of Curtin University should take pride in graduating from a university that is recognised as being among the top two percent in the world, having progressed more rapidly in major international rankings than any other Australian institution in recent years.
This was highlighted by Vice-Chancellor of Curtin University, Professor Deborah Terry, when addressing the graduating classes of 2015 from the Faculty of Business and Humanities and Faculty of Engineering and Science of Curtin University, Sarawak Malaysia (Curtin Sarawak) here recently.
Faculty of Business and Humanities graduates.
Curtin Sarawak is Curtin University's largest international campus offering Curtin courses and degrees identical to those of its Australian parent. It further provides an undifferentiated student learning experience and Curtin's strong student learning support mechanisms.
Professor Terry added that Curtin University's recent achievements have been many, including Australian federal government approval of the Curtin Medical School; launch of Cisco's Internet of Everything Innovation Centre, only the eighth such centre in the world; membership of edX, the prestigious global consortium of universities established by Harvard and MIT to deliver online courses to students all over the world; and major new partnerships to enhance students and research opportunities with Hockey Malaysia and Jimmy Choo.
She also commended Curtin Sarawak for some of its recent achievements, such as the establishment of the Curtin Sarawak Graduate School to advance postgraduate education; being the first foreign branch campus to host the National Engineering Symposium and the first institution in Malaysia to host the Global Communication Project involving 15 universities worldwide; and the establishment if strategic partnerships with the National Sports Institute, Sarawak Energy and the Sarawak Agriculture Department.
She went on to say that Curtin's reputation benefits hugely not only from the reputation and profile of Curtin Sarawak but also from the achievements of its graduates, citing the examples of graduates mass communication graduates Keeshaanan Sundaresan and Renee Loretta Foong, and mechanical engineering graduate Chukuwuma Menakaya and chemical engineering graduates Lee Ren Jie, Lim Shih Chiang, Sam Tze Mun and Loo Ying Ting.
Keeshaanan has been active in the world of sports writing since 2011 and is now Chief Editor of the sports news website FourthOfficial.com while Foong is a newscaster for Radio Television Malaysia.
Chukuwuma now works in New York where he is a global affairs researcher for the Peace Island Institute and the United Nations, while Lee, Lim, Sam and Loo were winners of the international Honeywell UniSim Design Challenge, a first for a Malaysian team.
Curtin Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Terry.
Commenting on Curtin's role in Malaysia, Professor Terry said she was very proud that the university's mission to produce graduates of global calibre aligns closely with the country's aspirations to build a skilled and educated workforce in order to support economic growth.
She added that in Sarawak, its courses, research and campus community work help to build the social and economic fabric of the state, including helping to meet the manpower and technical requirements of the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE).
Professor Terry also said that as the graduates make their way out of university life, they are in esteemed company, joining nearly 210,000 Curtin graduates from more 165 different countries in Curtin's diverse alumni network.
Separate graduation ceremonies were held for the two faculties. The ceremony for the Faculty of Business and Humanities saw the graduation of 249 undergraduate students of with degrees in arts, business administration and commerce, and 31 postgraduate students with degrees in policy sciences, project management and Internet communications.
Faculty of Engineering and Science graduates.
A further 228 undergraduate students of the Faculty of Engineering and Science graduated with degrees in engineering, science and technology, and six postgraduate students with MPhil and PhD degrees in chemical, electrical and computer, and mechanical engineering.
Others present at both graduation ceremonies were Curtin University Acting Chancellor Sue Wilson, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International) Professor Seth Kunin and Curtin Sarawak Pro-Chancellor Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr. George Chan and Pro Vice-Chancellor, President and Chief Executive Professor Jim Mienczakowski.
Also present were Sarawak Assistant Minister of Communications and Sports and Chair of the Curtin Sarawak Management Board, Datuk Dr. Lee Kim Shin; Datu Dr. Hatta bin Solhi, Chairman of Curtin (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.; and members of the Curtin Sarawak Council, Board of Directors and Management Board.

Tau-based Vaccines Could Transform Early Alzheimer's Disease Treatment, says GlobalData Analyst
Jan 28, 2015 1:05pm
LONDON, UK (GlobalData), 27 January 2015 - While current treatments for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) are only able to ease symptoms temporarily, tau-based vaccines may offer a new and more effective way to treat AD in the early course of the disease, says an analyst with research and consulting firm GlobalData.
According to Kyle S. Nicholson, PharmD, GlobalData's Analyst covering Neurology, tau-based therapies for AD have traditionally been overlooked in favor of passive beta amyloid immunotherapies, such as Eli Lilly's solanezumab and Roche's gantenerumab and crenezumab.
However, this interest appears to be receding after notable setbacks in recent years, and tau-based immunotherapies now have the potential to capture larger patient shares than these products.
Nicholson explains: "Tau is one of two peptides linked to AD, and is known for forming tangles of neuronal fibers inside the brain and causing cellular death. The other abnormal protein believed to cause damage that leads to AD is beta amyloid.
"Doubts are starting to arise over whether or not the removal of beta amyloid will affect a patient's cognitive status. Given that tau-related pathology might occur before beta amyloid becomes implicated, a tau-based approach may have a greater chance of eliciting measurable effects earlier in the disease's progression."
The analyst notes that Johnson & Johnson and AC Immune have already entered into a three-year agreement to develop and commercialize tau-based immunotherapies for AD. These include ACI-35, which is currently in Phase IIb trials and positioned to be the first-in-class phosphorylated tau proteins vaccine inhibitor.
However, Nicholson adds: "Despite its potential first-in-class status, ACI-35 will encounter significant competition from disease-modifying passive immunotherapies and oral beta-secretase inhibitors, which will start populating the market in 2018.
"We expect AstraZeneca/Eli Lilly's AZD-3293 and Merck & Co.'s MK-8931 to capture over 15% of the global AD space by 2023. ACI-35 will therefore likely enter a highly competitive arena several years after the beta amyloid therapies have already taken a significant patient share," the analyst concludes.

Listen: Ryan Houston of the Oregon Natural Desert Association 🎧
The federal government controls millions of acres of public lands in Oregon, but who benefits? The executive director of ONDA describes the work of keeping the Bureau of Land Management accountable and preserving high desert wilderness.
by Laurel Brauns
Courtesy ONDA
Ryan Houston, executive director of ONDA
For this week's episode of "Bend Don't Break" we talk with Ryan Houston, who has been serving as executive director of the Oregon Natural Desert Association since 2018. Growing up in California, Houston developed an early interest the desert environment and eventually earned a master's in ecology from the University of Arizona. He has a reputation in Central Oregon as a collaborator and coalition-builder and spearheaded dozens of efforts to conserve the Deschutes Basin during his work with the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council where he was the executive director for two decades.
Houston framed the conversation by describing the work of the Bureau of Land Management, why it was founded and what it is empowered to do in its current form. One of ONDA's primary goals is keeping this agency accountable, as the BLM oversees millions of acres in Oregon alone. Over the next few years, the BLM will be updating its management plans for some vital high desert regions in Eastern Oregon.
LISTEN NOW:
Source Weekly - Bend, Oregon · Ryan Houston of the Oregon Natural Desert Association
Houston expressed optimism about Joe Biden's win for the presidency and he described some impending federal legislation that will directly affect Oregon's wilderness areas: One is a plan to protect more than a million acres in the Owyhee Canyonlands. Another is federal funds to study the importance of salt water lakes such as Oregon's Lake Abert.

Why did I receive a BCSE Debit Card instead of a paper check?
In February 2005, the West Virginia Bureau for Child Support Enforcement (BCSE) ceased issuance of paper checks for support payments. Instead, you will receive a KeyBank MasterCard Debit Card on which the BCSE will load your support payments.
When will funds be loaded to my BCSE Debit Card?
Funds will be automatically loaded to your BCSE Debit Card within 48 hours of receipt of the funds at the BCSE. Since you don't have to wait to receive a check in the mail, you will have quicker access to your support funds.
What advantages does the debit card have when compared to a paper check?
Your BCSE Debit Card will provide faster access to your support funds, allow you to avoid check-cashing hassles and help you avoid the risks of carrying large amounts of cash. In addition, there is no paper check that could get lost, stolen, or delayed in the mail.
Is the BCSE Debit Card a credit card?
No. The BCSE Debit Card is a prepaid MasterCard that carries a variable cash amount determined by amount of payments loaded. Each time you use the card, the purchase amount is deducted from the available balance.
Where can I use the BCSE Debit Card?
What happens if I need to return an item purchased with my BCSE Debit Card?
Each merchant location has its own return policies and will handle the returns in the same manner as any other MasterCard transaction. They may credit your BCSE Debit Card, provide a cash refund, or offer store credit.
The card's available balance is probably less than the purchase amount. You may inform the merchant of the remaining balance on the card and use another form of payment to pay the difference, subject to the policy of the merchant. Also, please be aware that use of the West Virginia BCSE Debit Card at certain types of merchants requires the card have an available balance greater than the purchase amount to ensure sufficient funds for tips or incidental expenses. Examples include restaurants and mail-order companies.
Does the BCSE Debit Card have an expiration date?
Yes. Your BCSE Debit Card expires at the date indicated on the front of the card. Your card account will be reviewed for renewal prior to the expiration date and a new card will be sent to you in the mail.
What do I do if my BCSE Debit Card is lost or stolen?
Your BCSE Debit Card provides 24-hour toll-free support. Immediately report a lost or stolen card by calling 1-866-295-2955 for KeyBank Customer Service. A replacement card will be issued and any available balance will be transferred to the new card.
How can I check my BCSE Debit Card balance?
You may check your West Virginia BCSE Debit Card balance 24-hours a day at thousands of AllPoint ATM locations, by calling our Customer Service at 1-866-295-2955, or online at Key2Benefits.
Any authorization request that is greater than the card's available balance will be declined. However, there can be times when a MasterCard merchant puts an item through without prior authorization. In the event that a negative balance situation occurs, the amount of the negative balance will be automatically deducted from the next support payment that is loaded to your BCSE Debit Card.
Are there any fees associated with my West Virginia BCSE Chase Debit Card?
Who should I contact if I have additional questions about my BCSE Debit Card?
You may contact the West Virginia BCSE Customer Service Center for 24-hour toll-free KeyBank support by calling 1-866-295-2955 for a live representative or access Key2Benefits.
When using my BCSE Debit Card at an ATM, which selection (checking, savings, credit card) do I choose for withdrawing funds?
Most ATMs will allow you to select any option (checking, savings, or credit card) to withdraw funds from your BCSE Debit Card. If you encounter difficultly withdrawing funds at a particular ATM, you should select "credit card" to complete your transaction.
You can obtain cash amounts below ATM minimum by requesting cash back at a point-of-sale location or by cash disbursement (cash advance) from any MasterCard participating bank.
What should I do if a store clerk asks me to press "debit" or "credit" when I make a purchase with my BCSE Debit Card?
Simply select "credit" if you want to sign when making a purchase with your BCSE Debit Card. Press "debit" if you are making a PIN based purchase or if you want cash back with your purchase if the store policy allows cash back transactions.
Do I receive a paper copy of my monthly statement?
Yes. The statement will show all deposits to the card and all purchases/withdrawals.

At his suggestion that she "leave the people out" of her photographs, she was given her first freelance assignment to photograph the previously unpublished interior of the famed Nelson and Happy Rockefeller apartment on Fifth Avenue. Her success with these photographs launched her as a commercial photographer, shooting around the world for publications such as The New York Times, New York Magazine, American and British Vogue, Elle Décor, and Architectural Digest, and for clients including Ralph Lauren, Cartier, American Express, and Tiffany & Co.
A short list of some of her more memorable assignments includes masterworks by Frank Lloyd Wright, Luis Barragan, Antonio Gaudi, and Frank Gehry, the Elysee Palace rooms designed for the President of France by Philippe Starck, the Paris apartments of Rudolf Nureyev, the New York home of the Baron and Baroness Guy de Rothschild, the notorious "Red" apartment created for Diana Vreeland by Billy Baldwin, the Milan residence of Giorgio Armani, and the New York townhouse of Andy Warhol, where she was granted exclusive access shortly after his death by his former partner, the renown designer Jed Johnson. A selection of these photographs can be seen here.
