Is the Office Becoming a New Third Space?
There's home, there's work, and there's the social "third space." As our relationship to the workplace evolves in the wake of COVID-19, how might the office buildings of tomorrow serve this intermediary role?
By Kirk Layton
Like a lot of people, I've been very excited to see signs of the world opening up and getting back to normal – or at least the new normal – in the wake of COVID-19. Travel restrictions are loosening, movies are back in theatres, dining out is picking up, and people are slowly but surely heading back to the office.
Just yesterday, I stepped into the office for the first time in over 15 months, and I'll admit that I was brimming with excitement and anticipation, fully appreciating the importance of this crucial step into post-pandemic life. What's more, I finally met some colleagues whom I'd never seen face-to-face. You see, my old company, a tenant perks solution called eServus, was recently acquired by Lane Technologies, and the only exposure I'd had to my new workmates since the acquisition was via Zoom. To meet my colleagues in the flesh for the first time… well, it was a great feeling, and far different from any other time I've started a new job.
I expect that a lot of people will have the same feeling when they return to their respective offices. They'll be reconnecting with coworkers they haven't seen since last spring, or, like me, meeting colleagues for the first time. But because we've been cooped up for so long, my return to the office was more than just going back to a physical workspace — it was a social experience, more so than any trip to the office has ever been for me. We all crave interaction with people to one degree or another, and that has been made all the more palpable due to the isolation that COVID has forced upon us. So in addition to the gym and the coffee shop being places where we used to connect outside of work and home – places sometimes referred to as "the third space" – is the office itself destined to be a new third space in the post-COVID world?
My return to the office was more than just going back to a physical workspace — it was a social experience.
Back in 2016, I wrote a blog post that focused on the third space. As I mentioned in that post, the third space is defined as any place outside of your home (the first space) and your work (the second space) where people engage and interact with each other in a dynamic way. But of course, thanks to the pandemic, third spaces – the gym, the local Starbucks, the community centre, places of worship – were shut down. As the pandemic wore on, we felt more and more isolated, craving interaction with others – contact that we took for granted before COVID – perhaps more than we ever have before. We had lost our third spaces, and with them we lost an important avenue through which we connected with our fellow humans.
We lost our third spaces, and with them we lost an important avenue through which we connected with our fellow humans.
I think that's why I felt so excited to return to the office. It wasn't that I was going back to "work" – although that was part of it. It's that I was interacting with people in a way that I hadn't done in nearly a year and a half. There was more of a social element attached to the experience, the kind that people used to enjoy in a third space; this is a feeling that I expect will continue even after the restrictive aspects of the pandemic have long subsided.
I think the view that the office itself can serve as a third space has significant implications for commercial property managers as they welcome their tenants back into the office buildings. Perhaps more than ever, property managers can have a direct impact on our ability to reconnect with one another by thinking about their buildings as a third space, as places where people are able to reconnect with their colleagues in a way that they never have before. The easier property managers make it for tenants to return to the office by implementing safety protocols and effectively communicating them to the tenants, the sooner people can experience the dynamic interactions with others that are the hallmark of third spaces.
More than ever, property managers can have a direct impact on our ability to reconnect with one another by thinking about their buildings as a third space, as places where people are able to reconnect with their colleagues in a way that they never have before.
In my 2016 post, I pulled a quote from Oxford Properties' Chad Remis, now Executive Vice President of North America at Oxford, from an article in the Boston Business Journal about the third space. Referring to a lobby redevelopment at 125 Summer Street in Boston, Chad explained that Oxford was "taking more of a hospitality approach to the lobby, in the sense that we want it to be a third space. We want our tenant base to feel comfortable and to want to use it, want to interact in it, and want to have meetings in it." Given Chad's belief in the importance of providing a third space for Oxford's tenants, I thought it was appropriate for me to follow up with him to get his take on "The Third Space: COVID Edition." Here's what he had to say:
"We were big believers in the concept of a third space prior to the pandemic, and today we remain equally focused on creating those environments across our portfolio. The workplace is about teamship, collaboration, relationships, growth, and development, and what we have missed while working from home are those moments that come before the meeting, in the elevators, at the front door, over lunch — the informal and organic connections we make with our colleagues and networks when we are physically together. As an owner, if we can provide engaging environments that actively foster these connections while putting wellness at the front of mind, we will fulfill our goal of creating spaces that help people to do their best work and enrich their day."
For me, that last sentence can serve as marching orders for all property managers as tenants return to their offices: if property managers can provide engaging environments that actively foster the connections we make when we are physically together, the PMs will fulfil their goal of providing spaces where people can thrive. By focusing on implementing effective return-to-office protocols, and then effectively communicating those protocols to their tenants, property managers have the power to facilitate the sense of community that we all so sorely crave, creating a new "third space" in the process.

Aftermath (stylized as 'aftər,maθ), formerly known as  This Means Love, is the second studio album by Australian Contemporary Christian band Hillsong United. Production for the album began in March 2010 at Studios 301 in Sydney, Australia. It was announced on 10 November 2010, that coinciding with the Aftermath album release in February, Hillsong United would tour the United States and Canada in February and March 2011.

Aftermath debuted at number one on the US Billboard Christian Albums chart and at number 17 on the US Billboard 200 chart. In the United States, it ranked as the 17th best-selling Christian Album of 2011. The first single of the band, "Search My Heart", was released from the album on 21 January 2011 and appeared on the Billboard Christian Songs chart.

Background
In March 2010 it was revealed that Hillsong United was in the studio working on the first part of their latest album. United's Aftermath was originally stated to be a two part project, with a studio release in September 2010 and another in 2011, but would later be conjoined into one album.
On 25 May 2010 it was confirmed that stage two of the album was done after three weeks in the studio. The album title was announced via Hillsong United frontman Joel Houston's Twitter account on 27 October 2010. During a broadcast of Hillsong Backstage at Hillsong Conference 2010, it was uncovered that the album would debut in February 2011. There was a photo shoot lasting 3 days in over 10 different locations for the album artwork and photo collection on their website. The album leaked on 15 January 2011, exactly one month before the album's planned release date, when it was unintentionally made available for purchase on the US iTunes Store.

Talking about how the album was created, Joel Houston said: "We took a whole year off really doing something. And we had a bit of a soul search and talked to each other and said, 'if we're gonna do this, as in United, and keep moving with it, what's it going to look like? And how prepared are we? ...Maybe to just ride on the coattails of what we've been doing for the last ten years or so or do we want to really take this thing forward?' And I think we collectively decided, 'you know what? Let's throw ourselves into it like it's the first time we've ever done anything'." The album marks Marty Sampson's return, who sings the title track "Aftermath".

Concerning the title, Houston said: "Normally 'aftermath' has a negative, even traumatic, connotation. At the same time, when I look at the Crucifixion as an event, it paints an extraordinarily negative and horrific picture. But the aftermath of the Cross is hope for all mankind. It's grace, freedom, peace, life and everything that is good about God. I absolutely love that picture."

Track listing

Reception

Critical response

Allmusic's Jared Johnson gave the album four out of five stars, saying: " Aftermath shows that Hillsong continue to set the bar high and blur the lines between studio albums and live worship. Lindsay Williams of Crosswalk.com described the album as "a compilation album with singers trading lead vocals from song to song" and pointed out the title track ("Aftermath"), "Like An Avalanche", "Father", and "Awakening" as highlights of the album. She added: "Hillsong combines the musical prowess heard in mainstream music—even borrowing soundscapes from British bands like Coldplay at times—and pairs this atmospheric aura with reverent lyrics. Yet, Hillsong goes beyond the congregational-friendliness common to modern worship anthems by adding their own artistic flair." John Brandon of Christianity Today pointed out "Take Heart", "Go" and "Search My Heart" as the highlights of the album and summarized it saying: "More textured than previous releases, the new Hillsong United is also more experimental." Writing for Jesus Freak Hideout, Ryan Barbee concluded: "this offering definitely shows glimpses of brilliance, pure worship and a broadening of the creative horizons. For churches it might not offer what previous releases did, but it might influence a little bit of change." Jono Davies of Louder Than The Music wrote: "Creativity spills out on this album. [...] Overall this is another stunning album from Hillsong United, but is it the best album they have ever made? I don't know, but it's up there. Today's Christian Music's Matt Conner called the album "a testament to a mature, talented ensemble coming together to forge their best work yet".

Aftermath was nominated at the 43rd GMA Dove Awards for Praise & Worship Album of the Year.

The cupcake flavors were ET Phone Home, Eat Your Greens, Pink Velvet and something we devoured before it had a chance to tell me its name.
I can't take credit for this lovely picture. I've borrowed it from the Cupcake Girls website.
The Cupcake Girls, energetic bakers of creatively flavored (and named) cupcakes, have just opened a store at E. Platte and N. Weber. I've been waiting for this store since they described the concept at a DivaDOM (Dessert of the Month Club) outing last year. The Cupcake Girls have only been in business for a year or so. They rapidly built their business through smart marketing, beautiful cupcakes and what I believe is sheer force of will.
The shop is cool, uncluttered and has wifi, making it the perfect spot to linger over a cupcake and a cup of Colorado Coffee Merchants' coffee with your laptop. It caters to its urban clientele and the interior acts as an extension of the neighborhood. Andrea and Lisa, the owners, found lovely secondhand pieces of furniture, which they've used to create a shop that invites you to linger. It's a comfortable space, like an old house, which makes sense since most of their cupcakes come from family recipes.
They feature four flavors each day, which you can buy as mini or full size cupcakes. They also have cupcake shaped cookies and brownies. Want specific flavors? Not only will they take orders for your party, but they'll rent you a cupcake stand to display them!
I walked in and the conversation went like this.
It's true. I admit it. A person my size can't taste every cupcake in town without the risk of needing a new wardrobe, but I promise I carefully savor those single bites. I'm just saving room for the next visit and the next batch of cupcakes. Next time I'll get all their names before biting into them.

A clique is a complete graph, in which there is an edge between every pair of the vertices. Given a graph with N vertices and M edges, your task is to count the number of cliques with a specific size S in the graph.
The first line is the number of test cases. For each test case, the first line contains 3 integers N,M and S (N ≤ 100,M ≤ 1000,2 ≤ S ≤ 10), each of the following M lines contains 2 integers u and v (1 ≤ u < v ≤ N), which means there is an edge between vertices u and v. It is guaranteed that the maximum degree of the vertices is no larger than 20.
For each test case, output the number of cliques with size S in the graph.

An unrelenting struggle between impassioned egos for a dominant position on the social stage in an original project by Vosto5. The dramatic format is based on the structure of the classic condo board meeting.
The production is built around a typical condo board meeting, i.e. an association of apartment unit owners, thousands of which take place every year. All of the participants are apartment owners, which gives them the right to make decisions about how the building's common spaces are used with the authority and sense of security that their property grants them. These several square metres of personal ownership therefore provide them with a simple quantity – power. Power which they otherwise cannot demonstrate and fully express anywhere else but here, at the meeting of the condo board.

On-air since 1969, it's been called the quintessential children's educational show, the loveable creation of Jim Henson.
Sesame Street is an educational television program for young children. It was first broadcast on November 10, 1969 in the U.S. on the National Educational Television network which later became the Public Broadcasting System.
The program uses a mixture of puppets, animation and live action to teach young children basic reading and arithmetic, for example, colors, letters, numbers and the days of the week. It also has segments focusing on basic life-skills, such as how to cross the road safely or the importance of basic hygiene. It is also famous for its use of the Muppet characters created by Jim Henson.
Parodies of popular televison ideas, programmes or cliches have also been a feature of the show over the years. Most famous of these would be the Cookie Monster as 'Alister Cookie' presenting 'Monsterpiece Theatre'. Sesame Street's format of themed segments and sketches within a daily theme and on going characterisation was revolutionary when introduced and has been copied, adopted and built upon by much of contemporary children's educational television.
Another deliberate and strong feature of the show has been its commitment to multiculturalism. From the start the actors hired have covered a wide spectrum of age, colour and disability - almost as wide ranging as the muppets. A Spanish-language version called Plaza Sesamo is produced jointly by Sesame Workshop and the Mexican TV station Televisa, and is estimated to reach 84% of Spanish-speaking households in the US. Alternate versions are also produced in exist in Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Mexico and South Africa.
The programme has not been afraid to court controversy. When the long-serving actor playing Mr.Hooper died in 1982, rather than write him out, the producers decided to have the character die on the show. The episode where Big Bird has to come to terms with the loss of his friend earned the show an Emmy. The South African version of the show now has a character called Kami who is HIV-positive.
Now an institution, Sesame street continues to entertain and educate children the world over and seems likely to do so for some time.

Years before Marion Crane made the unwise decision to spend the night at the Bates Motel, young Norman and his mother Norma (still very much alive at this point) were already getting up to all kinds of adventures.
Why we're looking forward to this: About to kick off its fourth season, Bates Motel has been consistently entertaining and true to the original Psycho mythology, while managing to update it to the present day. A large part of its appeal lies with the two leads. Freddie Highmore as the teenage Norman brings both intensity and likeability to the role, making the viewer actually sympathise with the emerging monster that we know he will become, and Vera Farmiga is just amazing as Norma, as she tries to look out for her little boy as his behaviour becomes stranger and stranger.
The rest of the cast shine too, with Max Thierot piling on the charm and charisma as Norman's dashing, roguish half-brother Dylan, and Olivia Cooke bringing a sweetness and vulnerability to the girl caught between them as Norman's best friend and Dylan's potential love interest.
With Norman having finally embraced his inner mother at the end of season three, Bates Motel is sure to keep us checking in for another ten episodes to see how things develop.
Bates Motel season four premiered in the US this week and hits UK screens on April 5.


Hartpury took on Yorkshire Carnegie this afternoon at the Gillman's Ground with that game being followed by Gloucester-Hartpury Women taking on Wasps Ladies.
This is the place to be for a recap of both games with our reporter Ellis Lane in situ at the college throughout the afternoon.
Hartpury were looking to back up their win over Rotherham Titans last weekend with a Yorkshire double and that game will kick-off at 2.30pm.
At 4.30pm that was followed by the women, who were be playing their first home game in the Tyrrells Premier 15s. They beat Darlington Mowden Park Sharks in their first game in the top flight last weekend.
Mike Wilcox has taken a heap of pressure off his side with a long raking kick into the Yorkshire 22 from his own 22. Big moment.

What's Coming to Disney Parks – D23 Recap
July 15, 2017 Janice Brady Leave a Comment
All images via Disney Parks Blog.
The announcements out of Anaheim at D23 were overwhelming! Some rumors were confirmed, some rumors not even mentioned and some new and unexpected surprises surfaced. Here's a recap of all that was announced concerning Disney Parks:
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Announced as Name for Star Wars Lands at Disney Parks
Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts revealed the official name of the Star Wars-inspired lands that are currently under construction at the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts, and shared details on the immersive experiences guests will be able to enjoy when the lands open in 2019.
The lands, both called Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, will allow guests to visit a remote trading port on the edge of wild space, where Star Wars characters and their stories come to life – and where guests will find themselves in the middle of the action.
The lands will feature two major attractions that put guests in the middle of a battle between the First Order and the Resistance. Each attraction – and even the land itself – will offer guests the chance to immerse themselves in the Star Wars universe like never before.
One attraction will make you feel like you're on a Star Destroyer inside a hangar bay. It's an attraction built on a scale we've never done before.
The second attraction will give guests the opportunity to fly the Millenium Falcon, piloting the ship, shooting blasters or preparing for hyperspace – all while completing a critical mission. But how you perform on the mission holds even bigger stakes: perform with skill and you may earn extra galactic credits, while bringing the ship back banged up could put you on the list of a bounty hunter. End up on Harkos's list and you may face a problem if you show up at the local cantina!
Guests will also encounter many familiar faces inside Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, including BB-8, Chewbacca, members of the First Order and – among many others – Rex, the troublesome pilot you may remember from the previous version of a certain Disney attraction who takes on a new role in this land as the DJ at the cantina.
And speaking of the cantina, here guests will be able to try unique concoctions like blue milk. Nearby, they'll also be able to acquire trinkets and treasures from across the galaxy.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will open in 2019, first at the Disneyland Resort and later in the year at the Walt Disney World Resort. (No further opening dates have been announced yet.)
First Mickey-Themed Ride-Through Attraction, Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios
A new attraction featuring international icon Mickey Mouse is coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort! Details for our first Mickey-themed ride-through attraction, Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, were just unveiled during the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts presentation at D23 Expo 2017 – and we think you're going to love it.
On Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, you'll step through the movie screen and join Mickey and his friends like never before. The attraction will put you inside the wacky and unpredictable world of a Mickey Mouse Cartoon Short where you're the star and anything can happen. This zany out-of-control adventure features surprising twists and turns, dazzling visual effects and mind-boggling transformations that happen before your very eyes.
The attraction is inspired by the Mickey Shorts that you can see on the Disney Channel. And the people who bring you the shorts at Disney Television Animation are partnering with us to help bring the attraction to life.
Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway will feature a new story and a new singable attraction theme song as well as a new experience we're calling "2 1/2 D." No glasses required. Walt Disney Imagineer Kevin Rafferty said teams are inventing new technologies that turn the flat world of a colorful cartoon short into a "dimensional display of amazingness."
"This is one of the boldest…most impossible things I've ever worked on in almost 40 years of being an Imagineer. And you know what? That's what I love about it. Well, that, and Mickey," Kevin said. "This is not going to be a small attraction, it's going to be game-changing."
As you plan ahead, we also wanted to let you know that in order to begin to prepare the new home of Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway at the Chinese Theatre in Disney's Hollywood Studios, August 13, 2017 will be the final day of operation for The Great Movie Ride presented by Turner Classic Movies. Until August 13, you can still relive some of the greatest movie moments in history on the Great Movie Ride attraction.
'Guardians of the Galaxy' & 'Ratatouille' Attractions Coming to Epcot
Epcot fans, rejoice! Plans were just unveiled at the D23 Expo that the park will receive not one, but two new attractions inspired by popular films.
First, a "Guardians of the Galaxy"-inspired attraction will be added to Future World, adhering to the original vision of Epcot's Future World as the place to experience the excitement and adventure offered by space travel.
This is an addition we're really looking forward to, as a "Guardians of the Galaxy" attraction – Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! – debuted at Disney California Adventure park earlier this year to rave reviews from guests. Epcot's brand new E-ticket attraction will be based on the rockin' and action-packed world of "Guardians of the Galaxy" and is the next step in how guests can encounter these characters at the Walt Disney World Resort. Epcot just may be the perfect place for a "Guardians"-inspired attraction as you can see in the photo above – Peter Quill (aka Star Lord) actually visited Epcot as a kid! (Note: This new attraction will replace the current Universe of Energy attraction, which will close August 13, 2017).
Second, a Disney•Pixar's "Ratatouille"-inspired attraction will also be added to the France Pavilion in World Showcase. The attraction will expand the pavilion. Similar to the 4-D attraction Ratatouille: The Adventure that opened at the Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris in 2014, guests will be able to shrink to Remy's size and scurry to safety in a dazzling chase across a kitchen with the sights, sounds and smells of Gusteau's legendary Parisian restaurant.
According to Disney leaders, both attractions will open in time for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort in 2021.
New Tron Attraction Coming to Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort
Tron – the highest-rated attraction at Shanghai Disneyland– is coming to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida!
The new Tron attraction will sit in an entirely new area right next to the Space Mountain attraction at Magic Kingdom Park. Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts, made the announcement during the Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts presentation at D23 Expo 2017.
Regular Disney Parks Blog readers know that the TRON Lightcycle Power Run attraction at Shanghai Disneyland is a coaster-style attraction where riders board a train of two-wheeled Lightcycles. It offers access into the energy, lights and excitement of TRON's high-tech universe and is one of the most thrilling adventures at any Disney park.
Also, during today's presentation, Bob said the plan is to open the Tron attraction in time for Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary in 2021.
First Look: New Space Restaurant to Offer 'Out-of-this-World' Dining Experience at Epcot
Disney unveiled exciting plans to create a new restaurant at Epcot that'll offer amazing meals with spectacular views high above Earth – from space!
The restaurant, which will be located adjacent to the park's Mission: SPACE attraction, will invite guests to travel into space for amazing dining experiences in the stars. Walt Disney Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald shared a first look at the restaurant during the Walt Disney World Parks and Resortspresentation at D23 Expo 2017.
"We know our guests love dining at Epcot – and the restaurants really are out of this world," Tom said. "Now we're about to create one that takes that literally."
The new space restaurant will be operated by the Patina Restaurant Group. Patina Restaurant Group operates several other restaurants at Walt Disney World including Tutto Italia and Via Napoli at Epcot and Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs.
Disneyland Paris Brings Favorite Marvel Characters to Disney's Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel
Disney's Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel is coming to the resort!
As a part of his presentation to the tens of thousands of fans at the D23 Expo in Anaheim today, Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Bob Chapek announced the "reImagination" of the Disney's Hotel New York into a new Marvel-themed wonderland.
"We're going to create a hotel at Disneyland Paris that would make Tony Stark proud," Bob said. "I'm thrilled to announce that Disney's Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel will transport our guests to the action-packed, inspiring world of Super Heroes including Iron Man, The Avengers, and Spider Man among others!"
Plans Unveiled for Star Wars-Inspired Themed Resort at Walt Disney World
Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts, just confirmed that a Star Wars-inspired resort will debut as part of the new Disney 360 vacation concept.
According to Bob, this revolutionary new vacation experience will be a living adventure that allows guests to immerse themselves in an entirely new form of Disney storytelling.
"It's unlike anything that exists today." Bob said. "From the second you arrive, you will become a part of a Star Wars story! You'll immediately become a citizen of the galaxy and experience all that entails, including dressing up in the proper attire. Once you leave Earth, you will discover a starship alive with characters, stories, and adventures that unfold all around you. It is 100% immersive, and the story will touch every single minute of your day, and it will culminate in a unique journey for every person who visits."
Disney Skyliner, New Minnie Vehicles to Transport Guests Around Walt Disney World Resort
A brand new transportation system is coming to the Walt Disney World Resort to add even more magic to your future vacation experiences. Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resortsjust announced that the Disney Skyliner will soon give guests a bird's-eye view of Walt Disney World Resort.
The transportation system will connect Disney's Art of Animation, Pop Century and Caribbean Beach resorts and other locations with Disney's Hollywood Studios and the International Gateway at Epcot. And many of the gondolas with Disney Skyliner will feature favorite Disney characters
Another new transportation service featuring vehicles themed to the one-and-only Minnie Mouse was also announced during the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts presentation at D23 Expo 2017.
"Since we're all about exceeding guest expectations and making every aspect of your vacation uniquely Disney, we're creating a new point-to-point transportation service in a way that only Disney can do," Bob said.
The Minnie vehicles will take you everywhere you want to go at the Walt Disney World Resort, and you'll ride in Minnie's classic style.
New Theater Inspired By Kansas City's Willis Wood Theater To Debut at Walt Disney World Resort
A new venue for world-class entertainment is coming to Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom Park in Florida. And a first look at the new theater was just unveiled minutes ago at D23 Expo 2017.
If the image of the theater looks familiar, that's because the new entertainment venue will be based on the iconic Willis Wood theater in 1920s Kansas City, where Walt lived after he left Marceline. And as you can see from the design, it'll fit well right off Main Street, U.S.A.
"Across Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, we've been upping the game in Entertainment with shows like Frozen Live at the Hyperion," Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts said. "It's been a huge hit at the Disneyland Resort, and I'm sure many of you have seen it. This new theater at Walt Disney World continues that streak by bringing a new venue for world-class entertainment to the world's biggest park."
Toy Story Land to Open at Walt Disney World Resort in Summer 2018
Many of you know that Toy Story Land is coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios – we've shared several updates on this exciting project. Today, Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts announced that the land will open next summer!
In 2018, you'll find yourself shrunk to the size of a toy to explore the world of Andy's backyard with your favorite Toy Story characters, including Woody and Buzz. And Toy Story Land will feature two new themed attractions.
Slinky Dog Dash will be a family coaster attraction where you'll zip, dodge and dash around many turns and drops that Andy has created to really make Slinky and his coils stretch to his limits.
Alien Swirling Saucers will also be a new attraction at Toy Story Land. It's designed as a toy play set that Andy got from Pizza Planet, inspired by the first "Toy Story" film. Aliens are flying around in their toy flying saucers and trying to capture your rocket toy vehicle with "The Claw."
New Pixar Pier to Bring Favorite Pixar Stories to Life at Disney California Adventure Park; Limited-Time Pixar Fest Celebration Coming Throughout Disneyland Resort
In addition to the amazing experiences for Disney Parks around the world announced today at D23 Expo by Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts, a new immersive experience was just announced for Disney California Adventure park in California! In 2018, more of your favorite Pixar stories will come to Disney California Adventure park with the new Pixar Pier.
Pixar Pier will feature a brand-new look for the area now known as Paradise Pier, as some of your favorite characters come to life on this seaside waterfront. You will discover whimsical neighborhoods filled with your friends from "The Incredibles," "Inside Out" and even more of your pals from "Toy Story." Building upon the evolution of Disney California Adventure park that began in 2007, we are building more new worlds for you to step into and enjoy your favorite stories.
This permanent addition to the park will open during a new limited-time celebration taking place throughout the Disneyland Resort in 2018 — Pixar Fest! Experience the magical worlds of Pixar in brand new ways as the entire resort comes alive with some of your favorite stories.
At Disneyland park, this incredible celebration will feature a brand-new fireworks spectacular as well as the return of the guest favorite, Pixar Play Parade. That's right! This popular parade is moving across the Esplanade, which could only mean …
The popular "Paint the Night" parade returns — this time, to Disney California Adventure park! And if you're as excited as I am by that news, then hold onto your jet packs, Space Rangers — because we've also learned that there may even be a new float joining this already amazing nighttime parade.
Disney Cruise Line Planning Not Two, But Three New Ships
Disney fans attending D23 in Anaheim got a huge surprise today. They were the first to hear that Disney Cruise Line is planning not two, but three new ships in the next phase of expansion. By the time these three ships are sailing, we'll have nearly doubled the size of our fleet! That means more families than ever before will be visiting spectacular destinations around the globe and creating magical memories at sea!
Last year, we told you that two new ships were going to be built at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany with scheduled completion dates of 2021 and 2023. This additional ship will be built at the same shipyard and is scheduled to be completed in 2022.
"We decided two ships wouldn't be enough to hold all of the exciting new experiences we have been dreaming up to take family cruise vacations to a whole new level with immersive Disney storytelling, world-class family entertainment, and imaginative innovations that are fantastically fun and uniquely Disney," Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, said.
All ship names, design plans and itineraries are still in development, with each of the ships expected to have their own unique experiences. The three new ships will be powered by clean-burning liquefied natural gas and be the same size – approximately 135,000 gross tons with about 1,250 guest staterooms planned – which is slightly larger than the newest Disney Cruise Line ships, the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy.
With a legacy of revolutionary design, Disney Cruise Line's new ships will usher in the next generation of innovative cruise experiences designed especially for families that will transform the art-of-cruising and take guests on adventures in a way never dreamed of before.
Immersive Super Hero Experience Coming to Disney California Adventure Park
Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts, gave a hint at what's to come next for some of your favorite Super Heroes at Disney California Adventure park. Soon, the Guardians of the Galaxy will be joined by Spider-Man and the Avengers in what will become a completely immersive Super Hero universe at the park.
These new stories will build on the success of the new and already popular Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: BREAKOUT! and create a place where you can team up with your favorite Super Heroes like never before. We don't have more details to share just yet, but keep an eye on Disney Parks Blog as we reveal more about this one-of-a-kind experience.
So – there you have it folks – all that is in the works for Disney Parks. It looks like the 50th Anniversary in 2021 will be HUGE!

Situated on a gentle hillside, is at the center of an area that offers a rich natural heritage and food and wine. The paths and roads white to allow those who travels to duck out of the hectic city life, walking or cycling in freedom among hills and fields.
The origins of Orciano, already documented in the eighth century medieval castle, are uncertain. The most widely accepted opinion has it that it is built as a manor belonging to a family of Lombard origin.
It is easy to assume that Orciano has followed the fate of the other villages of the Pisan Hills, falling under the dominion of Florence with the final defeat of Pisa and then adapt to the grand ducal regime. On 14 August 1846 the country was devastated by a violent earthquake that affected the whole area of the Pisan Hills.
Quattrocentensca to visit the Church of San Michele, in which there is a copy of the canvas hagiography of St. Michael the Archangel Raphael.


I'm trying to make use of the built-in http server. For making requests I use curl (the one built in php). The text is encoded with urlencode() before "posting" (content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded).
The problem is that LanguageTool doesn't seem to recognize new lines (CRLF) and treat them as spaces, which obviously produces errors (typographical).
What exactly is the text you're checking? Could you also post the PHP snippet that makes the call?
I have checked with GUI to compare results and it turns out that the newline isn't considered a sentence break. Only double newline (CRLFCRLF) does that. Strange, but I suppose it has something to do with language rules.
This is expected - also see the "-b" option at http://wiki.languagetool.org/command-line-options. However, for the HTTP API there's no setting to change the behavior, so you need to modify your text before you send it.

Emily is a muralist and painter who explores the relationship between humans and nature. She has exhibited her work in solo and group shows throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Emily has received many awards in International Juried Art Competitions for her watercolour series. In 2017, her painting 'Night Sun' was chosen for the 2nd Place National Prize from almost 1,500 entries by the Canadian Watercolour Society. In 2018 and 2020, her murals were chosen as the top ten murals in Montreal in 2018. Emily has had her work shown at the Louvre and projected on a building in Times Square. Most notably, her work can be seen on the covers of the Ottawa Arts Review 7.1 and Imminent Quarterly III.
A self-declared wallflower because of her quiet and reflective nature, Emily felt most at home as a young girl in the wild forests of Canada. As she developed her art during adolescence and young adulthood, she found herself speaking for those who could not speak up for themselves.
Emily has since become a world traveler and explorer. Having visited and lived in numerous countries abroad, she has developed her palette to incorporate a wide range of colours and textures that represent Earth's cultural and natural diversity.
Emily's allegiance has consistently been to nature. She has sought out remote and off-the-beaten path destinations and been most inspired by hopeful stories of people working for and with nature thereby contributing to the survival of our animal brothers and sisters.
Emily's artistic style is a melding and welding of her natural inclination towards realism and detail with the conceptual and abstract style introduced during her studies, and the freedom and spontaneity imposed through her experience doing street art.
The result for the viewer is a trance-like experience that stuns in its meticulous beauty and caresses the heart with its messages of hope and unity.

KULR To Present Battery Safety Solutions At FAA Fire And Cabin Safety Conference
, Announcements, Events
CAMPBELL, Calif., Sept. 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — KULR Technology Group, Inc. (OTCQB: KULR), (the "Company" or "KULR"), announced that CEO, Michael Mo, will present the company's battery safety research and solutions to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Ninth Triennial International Fire & Cabin Safety Research Conference.
The presentation by Mr. Mo is titled, "Lithium Ion Battery Thermal Runaway Propagation Mitigation with Carbon Fiber Thermal Runaway Shield (TRS)."
Thermal runaway is a rare but dangerous and often explosive condition that can occur in battery packs. KULR's TRS technology, when configured in bag form (used for safe storage and transport of batteries), is a proprietary solution that has been proven in multiple government-run laboratory tests to be the most effective solution for mitigating the explosive impact associated with a thermal runaway event and preventing thermal runaway propagation. KULR's TRS bag was selected by NASA to transport and store batteries onboard the International Space Station.
The presentation will take place at:
11:00 ET (local)
FAA Ninth Triennial International Fire & Cabin Safety Research Conference
Resorts Hotel, Horizon Ballroom
1133 Boardwalk
Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401
The KULR presentation will enlighten aviation regulators, designers and safety experts on how the TRS technology may be adapted to contain and extinguish an explosive event caused by thermal runaway in consumer products such as smartphones, laptops, vape pens, and battery packs during commercial airline travel. Since 2017 (thru July 31, 2019), the FAA reported a total of 121 air/airport incidents involving smoke, fire, extreme heat, or explosion due to lithium ion batteries.
"Battery failures are a clear and present danger in many areas but especially in airline travel where spaces are confined and response and assistance resources are limited," said Mo. "That's why we're excited to present our proven solutions, the same ones NASA and other partners are using, to aviation and aircraft experts at this conference. I am hopeful that, together, we can make air travel safer for everyone."
The conference, themed "Improving Safety Through Data Driven Innovation," will also feature presentations from United Parcel Service, Boeing, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Airbus, NASA, GE Aviation, Northrup Grumman, the FAA and others.
About KULR Technology Group, Inc.
KULR Technology Group, Inc. (OTCQB: KULR) develops, manufactures and licenses next-generation carbon fiber thermal management technologies for batteries and electronic systems.

Reading Fractured Times by Eric Hobsbawm I find him putting into words something that has often smoked around my brain. This is the idea that the traditional methods of judging art simply cannot be applied to modern cultural output. He makes a characteristically striking comparison between traditional bourgeois High Art and the horse. Once that animal had a very central and useful role in society but that has been displaced by the internal combustion engine. The horse lives on now only as a luxury for the rich. Similarly the traditional handmade arts have been made redundant by technological change. The defining characteristics of creativity now are mass production and mass demand. What distinguishes this modern creation is its multiplicity – the endless stream of sound, image and text. Where once the single work would be the unit of attention or critique, what developed in the twentieth century and on was simply endless commentary on that endless production. It is possible to talk about a photograph in the same way as a painting say, but to what end? The single work is a thing of the past. EH does not suggest for a moment that popular culture has no value. He simply says that it is to Art what the motor car is to the horse. It creates what he calls an entirely new landscape of the mind. (This seems to be a remarkably accurate description of the effect of photography.) In a wonderful phrase EH says that cultural commentators are unwilling to admit this general truth "because no class of people is enthusiastic about writing its own obituary". Cracking!

Readings & Talks
newyorker.com
Documentaries by Les Blank
Photograph courtesy the Criterion Collection
In the course of five decades and dozens of films, the documentary filmmaker Les Blank redefined the core of Americana to include Black, indigenous, and immigrant cultures and artists—as in "A Well Spent Life," from 1971, his portrait of the blues singer and guitarist Mance Lipscomb. (It's included in an ample batch of Blank's films streaming on the Criterion Channel.) The movie, filmed in Lipscomb's home town of Navasota, Texas, is a deeply contextualized, community-centered vision of the musician (who was born in 1895), beginning with his recollection of working as a sharecropper at a time when white bosses treated Black farmhands like beasts of burden. Discussing in detail his hard-won philosophy of love and equality, Lipscomb also shows it in action—at home with his wife, Elnora, whom he married in 1913, and among friends and neighbors, including at a local dance where he plays. The movie is dominated by the majesty of Lipscomb's performances, which Blank films with a luminous poise; Lipscomb sings in a high, haunted voice, strumming and plucking his guitar with graceful authority, evoking the spiritual dimension of worldly sorrows and joys.

Health Care professionals (HCPs) are widely considered to be the champions of healthy habits and, on the whole, demonstrate healthier lifestyles than the general population, including lower rates of smoking and higher rates of exercise.1 However, substance misuse and addiction rates are no different among HCPs than they are in the general population, and HCPs demonstrate significantly higher levels of opioid abuse.1,2 These problems are particularly troubling in a provider population, as they can lead to serious safety issues for the patients HCPs treat while under the influence.
HCPs struggling with substance abuse and addiction face significant consequences if they remain untreated, not only for themselves but also for the patients they treat. The implications for patient safety require HCPs to receive more intensive treatment than the general population, but specialized HCP treatment programs meet these stricter requirements, while also helping HCPs maintain (or regain) their medical licenses and reduce the potential for negative professional and social consequences related to seeking help.
The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation offers comprehensive addiction treatment programs designed specifically for HCPs, including a first-of-its-kind specialized program for nurses. These programs follow evidence-based best practices for addressing the unique problems faced by HCPs as patients and recovering addicts and have been highlighted in the scientific literature for their effectiveness.1 The programs also offer help with issues related to professional licensure, employment, and medical reputation.
Why are specialized programs necessary for HCPs?
HCPs have a variety of unique risk factors, including higher access to prescription drugs, high levels of workplace stress, and sleep deprivation that make them very susceptible to substance abuse and relapse. State boards also require more intensive treatment because HCP drug use is considered a health and safety risk to the patients substance-abusing HCPs treat. Specialized treatment programs provide these more intensive interventions to ensure that HCPs are able to safely return to practice without relapse.
If I am an HCP and seek help, won't I lose my medical license?
Health Care Providers: Addiction is a disease just like any other that requires treatment in order to improve. While the fear of social and professional ramifications can be daunting, the PHPs in many states allow physicians and other HCPs to voluntarily enter treatment programs while remaining anonymous and facilitate a successful return to practice after treatment is completed. Contact your state's PHP at fsphp.org for information on how you can get treated and return to work.
Family Members and Colleagues: Identifying substance abuse behaviors among HCPs can be difficult, and fear of negative consequences can make them hesitant to admit that they have a problem. State PHPs have been designed to minimize negative consequences that HCPs may face by helping them get the treatment they need. If you suspect that your loved one or colleague is exhibiting substance abuse or addiction behaviors, contact your state's local PHP to have them facilitate an intervention.

When is Married at First Sight Australia on in 2023? Season 10 release date
Mark your diaries for the return of one of Australia's most popular dating shows
By Ellie Hutchings
The hotly anticipated tenth season is almost here - so when is Married at First Sight Australia on in 2023?
Reality TV fans were left directionless when the final episode of MAFS UK aired back in October 2022. Many have been keeping up to date with who is still together from Married at First Sight UK (opens in new tab) as well as who is still together from MAFS Australia (opens in new tab) to get their fix, but it's not quite the same as the drama and scandal of the dinner parties.
Luckily, the reality show is back, with a whole new Married at First Sight cast (opens in new tab) of brides and grooms hoping to find the love of their life. And with the show's tenth season about to hit screens, fans are wondering is Married at First Sight legally binding (opens in new tab), and where can they watch season 10...
When is Married at First Sight Australia on in 2023?
Married at First Sight Australia starts on Monday 30 January 2023. The show will see 10 new brides and 10 new grooms meet for the first time while at the altar, and it's likely that the usual drama and scandal will ensue.
According to Yahoo Lifestyle (opens in new tab), this season sees the show's "biggest ever scandal", as a source told the publication that one groom is "exposed at his wedding for hooking up with another woman hours before walking down the aisle".
A post shared by Married At First Sight (@mafs) (opens in new tab)
The source went on to say: "As soon as the groom arrived at the ceremony the maid of honour knew she recognised him from somewhere.
"She couldn't believe it when she eventually realised it was the guy her friend was hooking up with. This all then came out at the wedding leaving the bride humiliated and confused. This season is chaotic from the very start."
Where can I watch MAFS Australia season 10?
Viewers in Australia can watch the 2023 season of MAFS Australia on Channel 9 and 9Now. However, UK viewers might have to wait a little longer before they get access to MAFS Australia season 10.
Last year, the ninth series of Married at First Sight Australia premiered in the UK on E4 on 21 February, just a few weeks after it was released in Australia. Channel 4 are yet to announce if they will be showing the tenth season this year, but in the meantime you can watch series four to nine on catch-up on the Channel 4 website (opens in new tab).
However, if you can't wait to join in on the MAFS Australia action, then there is a way you can start streaming the latest series as soon as it premieres.

MAFS Australia 2023 trailer
The MAFS Australia trailer first dropped on December 10, and since then a few teaser clips of the upcoming series have been shared on the Married at First Sight Instagram (opens in new tab).
One of the trailers teases a dramatic exchange on a wedding day, as the voiceover says "From the very first wedding... a bomb of trouble, like nothing you've every seen."
We then hear one of the brides say "He's so lovely, like he's so nice, I'm actually just genuinely blown away," before one of here wedding guests says "I need to tell you something."
We don't hear what the guest tell her, but a furious bride says "you're lying," before we see the guest show proof on her phone.
Fans shared their excitement for the latest series in the comments, with one writing "Can't wait 😜 here we go again 😂", while another said "OH MY WORD!!!! Can't wait for this!!!! 😬😱🤣".

Neighborhood Centers Inc. is a not for profit organization that brings resources, education and connection to over 400,000 people throughout Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast region every year.
The goal of this project was to find a way to intimately tell the story of a massive organization with a very broad scope. Rather than tell the history of how Neighborhood Centers came to exist and explain all that they do, we decided to take the approach of telling personal, individual stories about people they come alongside everyday.
Through intimate, cinematic narratives revolving around the people that Neighborhood Centers serves, "H Town Stories" was born.
With this story we wanted to show the circumstances and trauma that refugee families go through on their journey to the United States and what that dream means to them. We wanted Syed and his family to be a representation of the refugees that have found their way to Houston and are being supported by NCI.
Client: Neighborhood Centers Inc.
This film created a unique set of challenges mostly related to working with a family from a different cultural background with different social norms and customs from our own and on top of that a story that was extremely sensitive in terms of the safety and well being of our subjects.
Our main character, Syed, spoke very little English. We debated at great length whether or not to conduct his interview in English or in his native language Urdu. We loved hearing him speak in English and seeing how proud he was to do so, but also knew that we weren't getting the depth and detail that we wanted out of his story and with something like this where the backstory is so important to the overall narrative we knew we had to have a great interview.
Another challenge was in filming our main character's wife Sadia. Saida preferred to be filmed with her face covered. This was something that was especially important to Sadia while on camera and we wanted to respect her wishes but at the same time she had such a happy smile and we knew viewers would connect better with her if they could see her face.
Also along these lines was the issue of having a man film a woman alone in an intimate setting like their home. This was something that the family had an issue with and we wanted to respect that.
And possibly one of the greatest challenges in covering this story was finding the right material and having enough of it to cover an extremely detailed and intense backstory because a large part of their story had already happened and we obviously weren't there for it.
For the interview we decided that it needed to be done in his native language, Urdu. There was just too much nuance and subtlety about his story that we didn't want to lose because he couldn't communicate as clearly in English. This created a lot more work in post, but we feel it ultimately paid off in a big way. And it also made it nice to hear him speak English in his daily life. It stood out and was endearing.
Having a second shooter that was a woman really helped us deal with the sensitivity towards male and female interactions in their culture. We were able to have our Producer on this project, Caitlyn Greene, conduct Sadia's interview and film the intimate scenes we wanted in her and her daughter's bedrooms as they went about their day.
There ended up being a few scenes that we captured in which Sadia's veil was not present. Both scenes were really nice moments that we felt were crucial to allowing the viewers to get to know her and see her infectious, happy spirit. In the end we were able to have an honest conversation with them about why we wanted to show those few moments without her veil and ultimately they agreed with the motivation and purpose behind showing those shots and allowed us to use them.
And finally, in order to cover the intense and detailed backstory of the events that took place in Pakistan and throughout their journey to America, we found great stock footage from inside the prison as well as TV news broadcasts and home video that really helped paint a picture visually of what this family endured to find their way here.
Neighborhood Centers Inc. brings resources, education and connection to more than 400,000 people throughout Texas each year.

Great blogpost by Shanna van der Hulst of New Age Earthlings with great Tips for Those Who Wander.


"Brussels En route" is part of a photographic search for a description of this city. Brussels is a metropolis and at the same time a "Hamlet in a swamp". However, do not expect unambiguous statements or an all-encompassing definition for this urban collection of 19 municipalities that is neither my motive nor the ultimate goal of my journey.
What do these scenes tell us about this city and our society? For years, that question kept popping up in my mind. During an everyday metro trip on April 21, 2010, a man on a unicycle rode into a metro carriage. The idea became an image. The journey truly began in October 2016. For a year and a half, I travelled through the entire city with every bus, tram, and metro line at least once, from terminal to terminal.
This journey has left a lasting impression, certain situations and images are forever etched in my memory. The mundane isn't ordinary, the best proof is this memorable one and a half year ride.
...Is a blanket term for a very heterogeneous group of people: wallflower and eccentric, fashionista and Muslima, early bird and night owl, helicopter parent and business woman, expat and Brusseleer, man and woman, cis, trans, and nonbinary. Without realising, these and countless other people cross our paths every day. Often we can only guess what a person is really like. Even when a small puzzle piece of information reaches our ears, they mostly remain a mystery, a blank canvas tthat fills our imagination.
...is the trip through a cross-section of the city. The scenery is constantly changing, past neighbourhoods full of gaudy villas, grey blocks of apartment buildings, and stately manor houses. The traveller is treated to a mishmash of architectural styles and people, a 'sight-seeing tour' worthy of its name. Each time you come to a to a stop short scenes can be seen around the bus or tram. At first sight, these everyday situations may seem ordinary. But nothing could be further from the truth. This collection of fragmentary images gives the viewer a look into the daily life of this metropolis.
...pilot their vehicle past impatient and honking cars, many of them demanding their place in the traffic jam. My respect for these men and women has only increased. All too often, they are unfairly used as a wailing wall. At all times, they must remain calm to navigate through traffic. They all share the same wish, which can be reduced to a single phrase: 'Good day'. To them, this simple greeting is a term of recognition, but for some of us, it's apparently too complex to pronounce.
...One spring morning in 2016, Brussels unwillingly became the focus of the world news. In the departure hall of the airport, and an hour later in the subway tunnel near Maelbeek station, three suicide terrorists set off their bombs. 32 passengers had their most important possession stripped away: their lives. 340 others were rushed to the hospital with severe injuries. The shock wave of horror and grief shattered what would have been an ordinary morning. The whole city seemed to hold its breath, the deafening silence only punctured by the sounds of sirens.
Countless of inhabitants of Brussels shared their feelings of horror and disbelief, no matter their age, religion, or background. Flowers and personal messages covered the stairs of the old stock exchange building at the Place de la Bourse.While the scars will stay, Brussels is a resilient city.
The next day, the metro cars rolled out again. The flowers on the steps of the old stock exchange building were taken to be composted, the personal messages went to the city archives. Maelbeek metro station is just one of the metrostations. But this dark day will always be etched into our collective memory.
This journey nears its end, but the terminal hasn't been reached quite yet. While Brussels was by no means unfamiliar to me, I feel like I've rediscovered the city through these many journeys. The bustling metropolis is constantly moving, sometimes in an aimless fashion and sometimes full speed ahead. People can abhor this fickle dynamic. Especially when Kafka, Magritte, and Godot take turns at the helm. Still, I cherish the quirky nature of this city. Where mushrooms are grown in a slaughterhouse and an abandoned construction site can be turned into a swamp out of pure boredom.
I'd like to use this as a way of thanking the STIB (the Brussels Public Transit System) for granting permission. I'd also like to express my gratitude and respect to all the drivers, for the entertaining conversations as well as the occasional cup of coffee. Under the hood of public transit, a small army wages a daily battle to ensure everything runs smoothly. These welders, dispatchers, and webmasters might not have gotten their chance to shine in this series, but that doesn't make them any less crucial. My sincerest thank you and hopefully au revoir!
The photo book is the cumulation of a year and a half journey on Brussels' public transport. The images and text in this book show a cross section of Brussels, while also managing to give a brief glimpse into the lives of the mysterious fellow passengers that cross our path every day.

Isaiah Berlin: Liberty and Pluralism
Author: George Crowder
Isaiah Berlin was one of the leading political thinkers of the twentieth century, and his work continues to attract admiration and debate. In Isaiah Berlin: Liberty, Pluralism and Liberalism, George Crowder provides both an accessible introduction to Berlin's ideas and an original contribution to political theory.
Berlin's range of interests and learning was vast but united by a single overarching project: the uncovering of the conceptual roots of twentieth-century totalitarianism. He traces these through three levels of analysis: the distortion of the concept of freedom by thinkers such as Rousseau, Fichte, Hegel and Marx; the scientism of the Enlightenment and irrationalism of the Counter-Enlightenment and romanticism; and moral monism, the idea that all ethical questions can be answered by reference to a single moral law. Against monism, Berlin asserts the claims of value pluralism, which he aligns with a politics of liberal moderation.
In this new assessment, Crowder argues that Berlin's critique of the modern enemies of liberty is exciting and powerful, but also that the coherence of his thought is threatened by a tension between its liberal and pluralist elements. Crowder goes on to suggest how that tension can be resolved by appeal to arguments that go beyond the case actually presented by Berlin but which remain within the spirit of his general outlook.

Les Pampas fut le nom que les conquérants espagnols donnèrent aux indigènes qui peuplaient la Pampa argentine, plus précisément ceux qui occupaient les provinces argentines actuelles de Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Santa Fe et San Luis.
L'origine du mot est quechua. Pampa ou bamba signifie plaine et plus exactement plaine située entre des montagnes. Ainsi les Espagnols du , descendant des montagnes des Andes donnèrent ce nom quechua aux grandes plaines sans forêts importantes qui occupaient une bonne partie de l'Argentine actuelle (y compris l'Uruguay). Par extension ils en vinrent à donner ce nom aux aborigènes qui les habitaient.

On doit différencier les "anciens Pampas" et les "Pampas du ". Les premiers correspondent à l'ethnie Het, tandis que les seconds ou "Pampas du " correspondent aux groupes araucanisés ou plutôt "mapuchisés" de survivants des Hets mélangés et métissés avec les Tehuelches septentrionaux. De ce fait les Indiens Pampas du  correspondent en gros à ceux qu'on a également appelés durant ce siècle Puelches, et en particulier aux Ranqülche ou Ranquels.

Comme on le comprend, l'usage de ce terme peut donner lieu à des équivoques, mais il ne faut surtout pas croire que ces peuplades parlaient quechua. Il est certain que les "anciens Pampas" étaient de la famille linguistique dite Macro-Pano, tandis que ceux du  utilisaient des dialectes mapudungun, langue des Mapuches.
