Q: Disable hibernation As simple as it sounds I cannot disable hibernation. I have disabled any GUI option to disable hibernation but my acer aspire one has decided to start hibernating after an hour.
When I first installed 12.04 on this machine I followed a tutorial to get get the suspend function working and I may have fiddled with hibernation settings as well. The real clanger to all this is hibernation doesn't work on my machine so if it hibernates I must hard reboot (holding down the power ky for 5 seconds) to boot up my machine
I don;t know where to look for what might be starting the hibernation, and cannot find the tutorial I used in the first place.

A: I got your problem, Paul! [Yeah! Congratulations!]
You have enough swap, but it's not turned 'on' (or mounted). Please post the result of blkid
If you have a swap partition:

*

*Run sudo gedit /etc/fstab

*Add the line at the end:
UUID=[the-uuid-of-swap-from-blkid]   none    swap    sw  0   0

*Also follow these instructions:
SwapFAQ
If you have a swapfile, go to: Use swapfile instead of partition and hibernate
UPDATE-1:

*

*Open Gparted.

*Right-click on /dev/sda5 and click on 'swapoff' or 'delete'.

*Click on the 'tick' above the Disk-image.

*Now, right-click, and click 'new'. Create a 'swap' partition. Repeat #3.

*Click on 'information' on /dev/sda5.

*Note the UUID. Replace the UUID in your fstab (4th line from bottom, the one after 'swap was...'.

*Run sudo -b gedit /etc/default/grub

*Find the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=..."
and add to it "resume=UUID=" (leave the old text as it was)

*sudo update-grub

*sudo update-initramfs -u
For blkid issue:

*

*sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

*sudo update-grub

The Farsighted Stable Set
https://doi.org/10.3982/ECTA12022
p. 977-1011
D. Ray and R. Vohra
Harsanyi (1974) criticized the von Neumann–Morgenstern (vNM) stable set for its presumption that coalitions are myopic about their prospects. He proposed a new dominance relation incorporating farsightedness, but retained another feature of the stable set: that a coalition can impose any imputation as long as its restriction to is feasible for it. This implicitly gives an objecting coalition complete power to arrange the payoffs of players elsewhere, which is clearly unsatisfactory. While this assumption is largely innocuous for myopic dominance, it is of crucial significance for its farsighted counterpart. Our modification of the Harsanyi set respects "coalitional sovereignty." The resulting farsighted stable set is very different from both the Harsanyi and the vNM sets. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a farsighted stable set containing just a single‐payoff allocation. This condition roughly establishes an equivalence between core allocations and the union of allocations over all single‐payoff farsighted stable sets. We then conduct a comprehensive analysis of the existence and structure of farsighted stable sets in simple games. This last exercise throws light on both single‐payoff and multi‐payoff stable sets, and suggests that they do not coexist.
Supplement to "The Farsighted Stable Set"
This appendix contains farsighted stable sets: existence and some connections.

12/6/21 Entertainment News
By Lisa Kaye|2021-12-06T06:06:53-06:00December 6th, 2021|
— President Biden is honoring artists at the Kennedy Center Honors, an annual event skipped by the previous President. Biden was on hand Sunday to celebrate Bette Midler, Joni Mitchell, Lorne Michaels, Justino Diaz and Berry Gordy at a black-tie reception at the White House. The awards recognize lifetime achievement in the arts. It was skipped last year because of the pandemic. The honors will be broadcast on CBS December 22nd.
— A new report says former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo is being accused of sexual misconduct. Cuomo was fired by CNN Saturday because of the role he played in helping his brother, former New York governor Andrew Cuomo, fight sexual harassment claims. The New York Times says earlier this week a prominent employment lawyer informed CNN of a client with an allegation of sexual misconduct against Chris Cuomo. The lawyer, Debra Katz, said Saturday that the allegation against the news anchor is "unrelated to the Governor Cuomo matter."
— Disney's latest animated feature remains the top movie in the U.S. and Canada. "Encanto" earned nearly 13-million-dollars in its second weekend in theaters in North America. Coming in second is "Ghostbusters — Afterlife" with just over ten-million-bucks. "House of Gucci" costarring Lady Gaga, Jared Leto and Al Pacino grossed nearly seven-million-dollars in its second week of release. Rounding out the Top Five are "Christmas with The Chosen — The Messengers" followed by "Eternals."
— Lady Gaga is sharing her approach to playing Patrizia Reggiani, the scandalous main character of her newest film, "House of Gucci." Sitting down with Morning Edition Gaga said she spent months reading everything she could about the woman dubbed the 'black widow' by the Italian press. Gaga says she doesn't think Reggiani was born a killer. She states, "I think that it was these trigger points of trauma throughout her life that turned her into what she became, which was a monster." This comes after the Gucci family wrote a letter of disapproval for the film, calling the family's portrayal "ignorant and insensitive."
— 'Vanderpump Rules' stars Raquel Leviss and James Kennedy are ending their engagement. The reality TV stars made the announcement via Instagram Sunday with a dual statement and selfie seemingly taken on the series' reunion stage. After five years together and a fixture on the Bravo series, the couple mutually broke it off. Leviss and Kennedy turned off the comments on their posts to avoid any negative feedback from fans. This announcement comes just seven months after the couple got engaged.
— Madonna is calling out 50 cent for making fun of her recent photo series on social media. The Vogue singer posted a series of provocative photos last week and made headlines when Instagram removed the initial post for violating community guidelines. Rapper 50 Cent made fun of the photos by photo shopping Madonna's fishnet-clad legs under Dorothy's house from an image taken from The Wizard of Oz. The singer made it clear that she didn't find the joke funny when she accused the rapper of making fun of her on her Instagram Stories on Thursday. She also called out his habit of poking fun at other celebrities on social media calling it 'the least elevated choice you could make as an artist and an adult.' 50 Cent has yet to respond to Madonna's post but the meme was removed from his page.
— Grimes is appearing to shade ex Elon Musk in her new song 'Player of Games.' The 33-year-old singer split from the billionaire of SpaceX and Tesla fame in September. Grimes sings about being in love with the 'greatest gamer,' which many think is a reference to her former boyfriend. The speculation is even more evident when she sings about the 'greatest gamer' floating away into space. Musk said the main reason for his split from the Canadian singer was his work, which required him to mostly be in Texas. Musk and Grimes dated for three years and share one child together.
— Wildcats are always there for each other. Monique Coleman says fellow "High School Musical" star, Corbin Bleu, supported her following a miscarriage just before the two actors were set to film the Lifetime holiday movie "A Christmas Dance Reunion." Coleman called the support of Bleu and his wife, Sasha Clements, very special, particularly since they were all quarantining during that time. The couple even sent Coleman a picture of a candle they lit in honor of Coleman's unborn child for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day to remind her she was in their thoughts.
— Actor Tom Holland is delving into a new role other than Spiderman. The 25-year-old says he'll be starring in Sony's upcoming biopic about the legendary performer Fred Astaire. Amy Pascal will be producing the film and previously told GQ she had her eye on Holland to play to part. Astaire starred in 30 film musicals and typically took on roles with Ginger Rogers in several classics like "Swing Time" and "Top Hat."
— Hilaria Baldwin is making sure everyone knows she has her husband's back. It comes after Alec Balwdin sat down with ABC to talk about the shooting that left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead on the movie set of "Rust" in October. Hilaria posted a photo on Instagram accompanied by a lengthy post in support of Alec. Her main message to her husband: "I am here, I love you, and I will take care of you."
— Amazon Prime Video is making an animated spin-off of the wildly popular superhero show "The Boys." The company will release eight episodes of a series called "Diabolical." Karl Urban, who portrays Billy Butcher in "The Boys," confirmed the production with a video message, saying the executive producers enlisted several writers to breathe life into the new show. The animated series is set to premiere on Prime sometime next year.
— Jennifer Lawrence isn't letting pregnancy stop her from walking the red carpet. The expecting mother was in New York City on Sunday for the premiere of "Don't Look Up." She wore a shimmery gold gown with cape sleeves designed by Dior. The 31-year-old is expecting her first child with husband Cooke Maroney.
— Derek Jeter is officially a girl dad. The retired Yankee welcomed his third daughter with model and television host wife Hannah Jeter. Their youngest daughter, River Rose Jeter, was born on December 2nd. Their eldest daughter Bella Raine is four years old and their second daughter, Story Grey, is two-and-a-half.
— Kim Kardashian West's eldest son is now six. She took to Instagram on Sunday to celebrate Saint West's birthday. Kim called Saint her bestie, saying there is no one like him, his smile, and his negotiating skills. Kim wasn't the only one to wish her son a happy birthday, with praise coming in from grandma Kris Jenner, aunt Kourtney Kardashian and a video tribute from his dad, Kanye West.
) — Martha Stewart is off the market. Speaking on "Watch What Happens Live," the business woman and TV personality told Andy Cohen she has a boyfriend. The 80-year-old didn't say much else about her blossoming romance during Thursday's interview.

Meghan and I had an excellent art-date at the gallery recently -- it was the opening of a contemporary photography exhibit, where the works of the four finalists for The 2016 AIMIA AGO Photography Prize were on display.
The prize of $50,000 will be given to the winning photographer, as voted for by the people who see their work hanging at the gallery. Eligible artists were selected from a pool of Canadian and International talent. The display will be there until November 27th, 2016, when voting closes and the winner declared. There are voting stations there or you can vote later online. Admission to the show is free with the price of a regular gallery visit. Read more about this prize and the finalists on the AGO's site here - AIMIA AGO Photography Prize.
First we met for a glass of wine and the best potato chips we've ever tasted in the gallery's Galleria Italia. Yes, those chips -- handmade, fresh and totally delicious. It's hard to believe that we found the best of something food-wise at the art gallery!
Then we headed up to a conference room on the third floor where the four nominees for this year's prize were live in person, discussing their individual techniques and answering questions.
The photographers were, from left to right, after the exhibition curator Adelina Vlas : Canadian Elizabeth Zvonar (second from the left), American Talia Chetrit, Jimmy Robert from France, and Ursula Schulz-Dornburg from Germany, who was there with her translator.
Following the talk, we went to see the art.
After leaving the gallery, we headed down to Queen Street West. The sky was stunning.
We stopped at Saku for some sushi and Japanese beer.
Soon after taking a seat the skies opened up and it absolutely poured, making the restaurant feel very cozy indeed. We took our time and left only after the rain had stopped, walking home in what was a beautiful late-summer night.
ooh, those photos look amazing, and how cool to have been there for that night! Those potato chips look epic even in the photos- skin on, thick cut… yum. And I love that photo of you at Saku!

Relationship between socioeconomic factors and severe childhood injuries
Pomerantz, Wendy J.
Dowd, M. Denise
Buncher, C. Ralph
https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jurban/78.1.141
The objective was to examine the relationship between injury rates and socioeconomic factors for children in Hamilton County, Ohio, using small-area analysis. The subjects were county residents less than 15 years old who were hospitalized or died of injuries between January 1, 1993, and December 31, 1995; they were identified through a population-based trauma registry. The census tract was the unit of analysis; the rate of injury per 100,000 population was the dependent variable. Risk factors included median income, level of education, percentage below the poverty level, percentage unemployment, percentage non-Caucasian, and percentage families headed by females. There were 2,437 children meeting the case definition; injuries per census tract ranged from 0 to 2,020.2 per 100,000 per year. Census tracts with higher injury rates had lower median incomes, more people with less than a high school education, more unemployment, more families headed by females, more people living below the poverty level, and more non-Cancasians han those with lower rates. In a regression model, percentage of people living below poverty level, percentage of those who did not graduate from high school, and percentage unemployment were significant risk factors for injuries, P<.001. Since small-area analysis examines associations on an ecological level rather than an individual level, these studies should always be interpreted with caution because an association found at the level of the census tract may not apply at the individual level. Inverventions to reduce injuries should target socioeconomically disadvantaged children living below the poverty level and those in areas with fewer high school graduates and more unemployment.

Concept is a 4-12 player party game for ages 10 and up that can be played in about 30-40 minutes.
The goal of Concept is to present or guess (depending on whose turn it is) clues using a selection of icons and pictures. The person presenting clues picks up a card with various things on them, anything from movie titles, song lyrics, places, or phrases. What that person must now do is, without speaking, try to get the other players to guess the phrase or object from the card. The board has many different pictures and symbols within squares all over the board such as depictions of cold or hot thermometres, pictures that depict tall or short, movie, tv, or book etc. Available to the presenter are a green question mark to represent the main concept along with associated green cubes to use to build upon that concept, and 5 other exclamation points in various colours with associated cubes as well to denote sub concepts and to build upon those.
A turn might look like this: I am trying to get the other players to guess the movie 'The Terminator'. It is a movie so I will use that as my main concept and put the green question mark on the square with a film camera, to build upon this I might put a green cube upon the square that shows weapons and explosions to demonstrate that it is an action movie, and/or on a clock to show that it has something to do with time. What might be best at this point to to begin a sub-concept, I would start describing the antagonist in the movie since it's named after him. I begin by placing one of the exclamation marks, let's say the blue one, onto the space that shows a male person, followed by a cube of the same colour on a square that shows machinery in hopes that guessers will understand that it is a machine-man. I can keep going and build more sub-concepts in hopes that I narrow it down so that the others can guess but I must try not to complicate things or muddy it all up. As soon as someone guesses correctly they will get points.
My Thoughts: This is one of my wife and my favourites but I hardly call it a game. It's more of an activity than anything but no less fun. It takes quite a bit of thought by both the guessers and presenters as you may have to think outside the box a bit. Overall it is quite the fun little activity.
As far as the components go it is basically what you can expect from a mass market game. The cubes, and question and exclamation marks are a decent transparent plastic, nothing extraordinary, but it doesn't need to be in a game like this. The board and art is nothing fantastic as it is fairly minimalist except for the squares. When you play this game it is neither the art nor theme that draws you in but the Concept itself (see what I did there).


Above: Me (left) with Sylvain Estadieu on the quayside at Dover Marina prior to his 14 hour 44 minute successful swim of The English Channel on Sunday September 20, 2009.
On Sunday September 20th, I was one of three crew members to crew for Sylvain Estadieu, a French national currently living in Ireland. The other two were Niall MacCarthy, a Sandycove Swimmer from Ireland, and Dan Martin who will be attempting to swim the Atlantic in 2010. We had stayed the night in Lisa Cummins's caravan at Varne Ridge the night before. Lisa was just hours away from completing a historic, 35 hours and 20 minute 2 way channel swim, the first Irish person and only the 20th person in history to complete a 2 way (click here for further information). We boarded 'Gallivant' captained by CS&PF Honoury Secretary, Mike Oram, and set off for Samphire Hoe.
Sylvain entered the water and swum ashore to be greeted by a group of people who had assembled to see him off. This included Ned Dennison a well known and respected open water swimmer who had also stayed at Varne Ridge the previous night. Sylvain entered the waters and set off on the swim he had been training for for many months.
We hadn't gone out far when a Belgian film crew pulled up and started filming Sylvain. Dan, speaking excellent French, found out that they were doing a documentary on swimming the English Channel. They were a bit invasive, at one stage the cameraman entering the water, swimming up to within about 3 Metres of Sylvain and filming him in the water. However, after about an hour they sped off into the distance.
Above: In the South West shipping lane, dodging the oil tankers.
It had started fairly calmly, but the wind and therefore the waves really picked up and I actually felt quite cold on deck. Niall did a sterling job mixing the Maxim feeds, while Dan and I took it in turns feeding him. It was good teamwork, and an essential part of a channel swim. He fed every hour for the first 3 hours, and every 1/2 hour after that. It worked perfectly.
Above: Niall and I on deck watching Sylvain on his swim. It is important that at least one person watches the swimmer at all times.
Above: The P&O and Sea France ferries can be constantly seen on any channel swim.
Not once did Sylvain moan or even speak. His feeds were awesomely quick, mainly about 10 seconds, the longest probably 20 seconds. He just put one arm in front of the other, head down, and headed for France. As night fell, the wind dropped a bit and it felt a little warmer. We were swimming on a 7 Metre Spring tide, and what happened next, will linger in my mind for any future swims I may do.
Having swept past Cap Gris-Nez down towards Boulogne, we tried to get Sylvain to pick up his pace. He was literally 1KM from the French coast. For 30 minutes he upped his pace, but the tide was just too strong. All of a sudden, we were swept around the cap at a speed of 6 Knots! It was incredible. The sea felt as though a volcano had erupted underneath. The boat was all over the place, and Sylvain was about 30 Metres away from the boat heading off to England. If I had not have seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it! Then, all of a sudden, dead calm. We were round the cap, and headed into the bay towards France.
Above: Nearly there, about 600 Metres to go until Sylvain reaches France.
Above: Dan prepares to swim in to shore with Sylvain, a large can of Guinness tucked into his trunks for them to celebrate with in France!
Above: Sylvain Estadieu - Channel Swimmer - England to France - 14 Hours 44 Minutes. Well done. Fantastic job!
We had a 3 hour trip back to blighty, then I headed back home to Bury, totally shattered, but really pleased to have been part of another English Channel swim.

Q: Adduser to Lubuntu I am trying to add a user called 'quinn' to Lubuntu. I've opened a command prompt (as I have done a million times before) and entered sudo -s to be root, entered my password and this is what happens:
adduser quinn
adduser: The group `quinn` already exists.

so, I deleted any potential quinn's (although no quinn's show up in either the user nor the group list)
userdel -r quinn
userdel: user 'quinn' does not exist

ok, so there is no user quinn, no group quinn, nothing in the /etc/passwd file with the name quinn. So, once again:
adduser quinn
adduser: The group `quinn` already exists.

and if I try:
adduser quinn quinn

I get:
    adduser: The user quinn does not exist.
Grrrrr... I've tried similarly with useradd and the GUI version, and I've tried other names... but nothing seems to allow me to add another user to this system...

A: The questioner has moved on to Ubuntu, but I wanted to post an answer, the answer is that I think there might have been an issue in the installation of Lubuntu.  According to this:
http://lubuntuhowto.blogspot.com/2014/08/how-to-create-new-users-on-lubuntu.html
The questioner did everything correctly.  I might add that when they got the message about the group already being created they might have tried:
sudo useradd quinn

According to the page cited, this will do a similar function as adduser, except it literally only creates the user, not groups, or any other user account configs.

Q: How did Cavendish measure the deviation of light from the Sun? On today's date in 1731 was born Henry Cavendish. He is mainly know for his Chemistry research, however, while I was reading his biography I've noticed that he also calculated the bending of light due to the Sun - see e.g. NASA's summary on the topic.
Apparently he used Newtonian physics and his results weren't so far from the actual. My question is how did he do his calculations? I thought Newtonian gravity was postulated to act only on massive particles... Did he assume light is massive or what?

A: First, the page you linked to only says that Cavendish calculated the deflection of light, not measured it. Newton's law of gravity technically only applies to massive particles, as you say. But this business about light being massless came a hundred years later than Cavendish; in his time light was regarded as a wave, though Newton liked the idea of particles of light and called them "corpuscles".
The important point, though, is that since Galileo people had been aware that the acceleration due to gravity is independent of the object's mass. So it wouldn't have been a stretch to assume that whatever light is, it would be affected by gravity in exactly the same way as everything else, and Cavendish made his calculation based on this assumption.
The idea of light being bent by gravity therefore predates Einstein. General Relativity provides a more solid basis for this idea, but in practice the most important point is that the deflection it predicts is twice as large as the classical one. When Eddington measured the shift of a star during a solar eclipse, he wasn't only checking that light was deflected, he was also checking the actual formula predicted by GR.

Benjamin Day
Birth Place : Springfield, Massachusetts, United States of America
Died On : December 21, 1889
Zodiac Sign : Aries
Benjamin Day Biography, Life, Interesting Facts
Early Life And Education
Benjamin Day was born 10th April 1810, to Henry Day, and Mary Ely. He was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, United States.
In 1824, Benjamin Day began his work in the printing industry, as an apprentice printer, at the Springfield Republican.
In 1831, Benjamin Day moved to New York and opened his own printing business. He launched a publication called Sun, and by 1839 the paper had a circulation of 50,000. Day's point of difference was that his paper sold for only a penny when other papers sold for five or six cents.
Although Benjamin Day printed other items, his main emphasis was on the "human" side of news, and he is credited for the sensationalism that has become part of news over the years. He also hired a reporter called George Wisner, who became the first police reporter in the US. Wisner wrote a column of "Police Office" news.
In 1838, Benjamin Day sold the Sun for $40,000, to his brother-in-law.
In 1840, he launched a new paper, the True Sun. It didn't last long, and in 1842, he established the first illustrated weekly publication in the US, called Brother Jonathan. Benjamin Day ran the publication for about 20 years. It was based on reprinting old British novels.
In 1831, Benjamin Day married Evelina Shepard. They had four children together – three boys and a girl.

Grant-making is both an art and a science. To make grant-making decisions that leverage benefits in an ever-changing world, foundation leaders must be thought-leaders with vision. The work of foundations are highly nuanced and strategic. Yet in today's climate, it requires proactive leadership. The Boulware Group's reputation in the foundation community rests on three qualities: our sensitivity to differences among foundations and their unique cultures, our grasp of current developments in grant-making, and our longstanding dedication to the nonprofit community.
At Issue: A nationally known philanthropic organization dedicated to increasing opportunities for women and girls turned to The Boulware Group to find its next Executive Director. Under the leadership of the previous Executive Director (also recruited by The Boulware Group), the Foundation's endowment had grown fourfold in four years. The challenge now was to find the right leader for the organization's current (and dynamic) stage of growth, which called for the strengthening of its infrastructure, a deepening of its program impact, and continued enhancement of its national profile.
The enhanced capacity of a national advocate for girls and women.
We contributed our extensive knowledge of the nonprofit landscape based on scores of successful recruitments of senior nonprofit leaders.
We developed a search strategy to identify individuals with both rigorous corporate backgrounds and executive-level involvement in issues affecting the lives of women and girls.
We drew on our understanding of the knowledge of the life-cycle of organizations to find two superb leaders appropriate to two phases of organizational growth.
Ultimately, our mission is our client's mission.
The successful candidate, a respected leader and veteran fundraiser, led a national organization for girls through a period of outstanding growth. The Boulware Group knew of her by reputation. Upon hearing that she had just moved to a new city, we promptly arranged for a meeting with her. She was later to say for publication that this meeting was a turning point in her life.

Balkan Taksim
Balkan psych meets subterranean-bass, broken-beats and synth-electronica with a touch of hot-wired club grooves.
https://bit.ly/BalkanTaksimEPK
Balkan Taksim is the corduroy-clad brainchild of Bucharest-based multi-instrumentalist/ artist Sașa-Liviu Stoianovici who, along with his electronica-producer companion Alin Zăbrăuțeanu, is on a quest to inform, educate and entertain audiences around the globe about Balkan psych, roots and grooves.
The project started by searching for something to link the sense of what has been with what will be. Sașa's exploration of traditional music of the Balkans, ancient Romanian music and Slavic cultures led him to travel a lot through the region and work with local singers and musicians to record the traditional tunes he later reworked with contemporary electronica sounds, heavy bass and powerful beats.
Balkan Taksim are a band known for raising a groovy-balkan storm with their intoxicating blend of sharp contemporary electronic music with Balkan psychsounds & vocals!
No banging overrated techno spiced up with darbuka samples here… no standard IDM music with Balkan cliches: Balkan Taksim's music is sincere and deep. It's neither a collage nor an appropriation, it's not even "fusion". It originates from encounters on equal terms between different Balkan cultures, traditional Balkan instruments, Carpathian ancient rhythms, timeless voices, psychedelic modes, contemporary musical technologies, futurist visions… and Romanian people.
Their stylish electronic psychedelia and bass flow directly from their roots in Romania and the Balkans upstream to global dancefloors. A project that's constantly evolving, exploring rhythms and sounds from every corner of the Balkans gently fused with electronic beats and tribal basslines.
Imagine Massive Attack playing with Taraf de Haïdouks! Tricky enjoying a stay in the Balkans!
They blend the old with the new and the analog with the digital, thus creating their own unique sound and visuals.

New findings provide deeper understanding of the way people with autism use reasoning skills
University of Bath academics have uncovered findings to suggest that people with autism have a different way of reasoning than those not on the autism spectrum.
So far, 2016 has been a good year for understanding autism. Several television series have either featured autism, and one, The A Word, made autism central to the story. When it comes to understanding autism, researchers at the Centre for Applied Autism Research (CAAR), at the University of Bath, announce new findings that provide insight into the way people with autism reason.
Following the opening of its £30m state-of-the-art Psychology building and the new Centre for Applied Autism Research (CAAR), leading academics at the University of Bath have announced research findings that suggest people with autism prefer 'deliberative' reasoning over reasoning with intuition.
The 'Dual Process Theory of Autism' applies the theory of two key ways of reasoning to account for the strengths and difficulties associated with autism. Within psychology, it is argued that people typically have both a rapid, intuitive style of reasoning as well as a slower, deliberative style of reasoning. The Dual Process Theory of Autism proposes that people with autism can be characterised as being dominated by slower, deliberative processing.
Research by the University of Bath group led by Dr Mark Brosnan and Dr Chris Ashwin into the profiles of 97 people with higher levels of autism traits or diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), found that these people show a consistent bias towards deliberative reasoning and potentially away from intuition.
Marcus Lewton, a doctoral researcher on the project, said: 'Deliberative reasoning is a uniquely human attribute, and central to many decision-making situations. For many activities, a domination of deliberative processing is advantageous'.
Autism is characterised by difficulties in social interaction and communication, which often occur in a rapidly-changing environment. People typically tend to rely a great deal more on intuitions in situations requiring fast social or emotional responses. Within these social situations, relying on slower, deliberative processing may explain some of the difficulties experienced by people with autism.
Dr. Chris Ashwin, CAAR Deputy Director (Research), said: 'Whilst rapid, intuitive processing can be advantageous in social situations, it can also be prone to bias and errors. This research suggests that people with autism are best characterised as 'unbiased', and less prone to errors in situations where deliberative processing is appropriate'.
This account characterises autism as a bias in the reasoning processes that are in the general population, which may suggest that a great deal of research into intuitive and deliberative processing can be applied to autism research.
Dr Mark Brosnan, CAAR Director, said: 'We do not yet know whether intuitive processing is absent in people with autism, or intact but being dominated by deliberative processing. The fascinating possibility exists that people with autism are using rapid, intuitive processing in other (non-social) situations'.

Daintree Ferry operator announced by Council
GREAT Barrier Reef tour company Divers Den will operate the Daintree Ferry from 1 July 2021.
Douglas Shire Council today awarded a multi-year ferry services tender for the Daintree River crossing to the Cairns-based tourism company.
The single-ferry services contract will be divided into multiple increments to give Council flexibility while staff obtain permits for a two-ferry crossing and the associated land-based infrastructure.
These increments are designed to give Council an ability to switch to a two-ferry crossing as soon as practicable.
As well as operating the vessel, the Divers Den multi-million-dollar proposal featured customer service improvements over the first year of the contract including online ticketing, free public Wi-Fi, publishing real-time information and social media updates.
Divers Den is owned by Entrada Travel Group – a company which operates New Zealand's largest passenger transport network, as well as the North Island bus express, and a variety of vessels for tourism experiences.
Council will officially take control of the Daintree Ferry on 1 July 2021 after signing an asset sale agreement with Sirron Enterprises (QLD) Pty Ltd this week.
Douglas Shire Mayor Michael Kerr said the Divers Den team would bring a wealth of tourism experience and expertise to the iconic river crossing.
"We are thrilled to have an opportunity to work with such a reputable company that has been delivering world-class tourism experiences in Far North Queensland since 1974," he said.
"As an eco-certified business, we expect Divers Den to relish the opportunity to operate this fantastic entry into our majestic world heritage rainforest."
"They are also part of a larger company which operates passenger transport for more than 600 destinations around New Zealand, with over 130 services each day."
"Council looks forward to working closely with the successful tenderer and the current operator over the coming weeks to ensure a smooth transition for our community."
Council has hired a Project Manager to co-ordinate upgrades to the land-based infrastructure required for a two-ferry system. A concept design is nearing completion.
A tender for a two-ferry service will be released once these concepts and permits are applied through the relevant departments.

I'm Kes. (Hi.) I was at university in Brighton, 19 years old, thinking "I've written lots of songs – I should play them", so I got in touch with Bran – who, inexplicably, offered to play bass instead of drums despite being a drummer – and we started making music.
It's quite fun, so we're still doing it. Sometimes we even play gigs. It's mental.
Big influences include the Manic Street Preachers, Biffy Clyro and Muse.
Plus, despite this deliberately silly bio, we're quite clever. I like to howl about politics and stuff; we're putting the world to rights one anguished lyric at a time.
You should definitely check us out.
Also, I run a website called JUST A GRRRL (what? I like things in ALL CAPS), for and about women in music, which you should definitely sign up to. Immediately. And then come right back here and sign up for our mailing list, which I also write and send out every couple of weeks.
Or, when she's not being a pretentious musician, Katherine Stewart. Absolute whore for a melody.
Plays drums, like, really well. Also answers to All-Bran or Bran-Flakes. Probably.

Bank of America DROPS Sponsorship Of NYC Public Theater After Onstage 'TRUMP STABBING'
Both Delta Airlines and Bank of America have now cancelled their sponsorships of New York City's Public Theater, following the backlash from their Shakespeare Park production of Julius Caesar, a "contemporary" run on the classic play. However, theirs had a PLOT TWIST that is now making them cringe in hindsight.
Theirs had a Donald-Trump inspired twist on the main character who ends up being graphically stabbed to death right there on stage. Since this horrid scene, Bank of America has released the following statement:
"Bank of America supports art programs worldwide, including an 11-year partnership with The Public Theater and Shakespeare in the Park," a spokesperson for the company told the New York Daily News Sunday. "The Public Theater chose to present Julius Caesar in a way that was intended to provoke and offend. Had this intention been made known to us, we would have decided not to sponsor it."
Of course the play itself was Julius Caesar, but the main character's striking resemblance to President Trump doesn't take a genius to decode what was really going down. We're talking blonde, slicked-back hair and a business suit and tie, with his wife Calpurnia speaking in a Slavic accent just like our First Lady, Melania Trump. So it's not hard to see what they were really saying at all.
Delta Airlines was the first sponsor to cancel their support for the theater, for which they also released a statement:
"No matter what your political stance may be, the graphic staging of Julius Caesar at this summer's Free Shakespeare in the Park does not reflect Delta Air Lines' values," the company said in a statement Sunday.
"Their artistic and creative direction crossed the line on the standards of good taste. We have notified them of our decision to end our sponsorship as the official airline of the Public Theater effective immediately," the statement added.
Other sponsors of the New York City's Public Theater include American Express, the New York Times and Bank of America.
The Delta sponsorship cancellation represents a blow to the Public Theater nearly two weeks after another controversy sparked by a graphic depiction of President Trump's death led to lost sponsorship and business opportunities.
In May, comedian Kathy Griffin posed for a photograph with a fake, bloodied head of the president in her outstretched arm.
The photograph generated a firestorm of criticism and Griffin was quickly fired from her role on CNN's annual New Year's Eve Live broadcast. The comedian also lost out on a commercial deal with a restroom accessories company and had several scheduled performances on her cross-country comedy tour cancelled.
Excellent news regarding BOA and Delta. They apparently care about their customer base. And don't support plays about the current President of the United States being murdered. Good to know.


Great to see so many start-ups and small business owners at this packed audience. The Hon Kelly ODwyer is here to spend time with you, yes with SME owners and start ups. On behalf of NetStripes and everyone here a warm welcome to you.
How many of you run small businesses or start ups? We all know the importance of small business to our economy. We've seen the data on the video… Over 95% of all businesses, Over 60% of employment over 33% of national GDP.
We are one of the few countries in the world with a federal minister for small business and minister for small business in nearly every state or territory. Yet the report card is startling with re to small business in this country are startling.
According to the ABS between 2010-2014 : 814,000 small businesses closed down, that's nearly 40% of all small businesses. And that number is increasing… The internet is changing everything… and is having a huge impact.
We know the minister took over her portfolio recently and is actively working on many fronts… the reduction of tax at the recent budget for small business was certainly encouraging.
Yet with so many businesses struggling very few are making profits to really benefit from the tax reductions.. so is it a case of the cart before the horse. We believe what is needed as a priority are initiatives to stem the closure of businesses and boost growth of struggling business.
Considering our welfare budget of over $155 Billion dollars FY2016 and $170Billion, the matching grants we are proposing can be cost neutral initiative… and yet it can simultaneously widening the tax base by increasing the number of businesses that are profitable bringing in much needed revenue to the government.
We would like to continue our discussions to super charge small businesses and bullet proof them through matching grants initiative for digital engagement.
Minister, thank you again for joining us… we are delighted to have you amongst us… and all the very best for the forthcoming election.

Singapore – a Gateway to ASEAN
THE ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY (AEC) SEEKS TO CREATE A SINGLE SOUTHEAST ASIA MARKET AND PRODUCTION BASE: the 10-nation bloc grouping of Singapore, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam HAS 625 million inhabitants.
[shareaholic app="share_buttons" id="13106399"]
Sharelines
US-Singapore trade was worth $54 billion in 2015.
The AEC represents a larger potential opportunity to US businesses than the EU or NAFTA.
Singapore offers American companies with a gateway to the world's biggest free trade area.
2016 marked 50 years of official diplomatic ties between Singapore and the United States, and coincided with the two nations reaffirming their relationship through the renewal of the US-Singapore trade pact. The signing is set to boost a bilateral business relationship that was worth $54 billion in 2015, benefiting thousands of companies, workers and consumers in both nations.
The timing is near-perfect for those enterprises that embrace the ability to trade across international borders as being crucial to their future as employers and profit-earners.
One reason for that optimistic outlook is the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Having kicked off in earnest at the start of 2016, the AEC seeks to create a single market and production base by freeing the flow of goods, services, investment and skilled labor across Southeast Asia and its roughly 625 million inhabitants across the 10-nation bloc grouping of Singapore, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The AEC represents a larger potential consumer opportunity to US businesses than that available in either the European Union or via the North American Free Trade Agreement. As an entry point to the AEC, Singapore offers American companies with a gateway to the world's biggest free trade area and a rapidly growing middle-class, while the spending power of US consumers and investors are important drivers to Singapore's world-class companies.
Today, there are more than 3,700 US companies operating in Singapore and these numbers are set to continue. Indeed, the American Chamber of Commerce's 2016 Business Survey has found that 86 percent of US businesses currently operating in ASEAN expect to increase their level of trade and investment in the region over the next five years.
Singapore's zero trade tariffs, few restrictions on foreign direct investment and business-friendly reputation make it the obvious location for US companies to continue with their regional plans.
Singapore is also going through a transition towards information technology, research and development and innovation, which sits very well with many US sector strongholds and is only likely to burnish its reputation as a hub.
The American Chamber of Commerce says Singapore is the top choice for US IT companies seeking a base for expansion in Southeast Asia. They are not alone.
Singapore's appeal to US business extends firmly into infrastructure, with $110 billion set to be spent annually in ASEAN in the decade to 2025, according to estimates by UNCTAD. The city-state is also set to benefit from China's ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) – President Xi Jinping's plan that is designed to develop stronger economic ties between China and the nations that sit along the former Silk Road trading routes of ancient times.
Singapore is strategically located along the Southeast Asian outreach of the plan and one of the largest beneficiaries of China's $14.8 billion spend in 49 countries in 2015 as part of the BRI plan. Sectors like transportation, construction and energy – which many US firms leverage in Asia – are set to see opportunities from the huge amounts of infrastructure spending.
Even in the current global climate of trade protectionism, avenues for cooperation and mutually beneficial business links remain.
All this underscores how important 50 years of official ties between Singapore and the United States have been – and how important deepening them could be to the health of both economies in future. With this relationship as a model, the evolution of Singapore/US ties could be an important indicator of the future for trade and investment development far more broadly.
