Iran sanctions may be lifted – Russian Deputy FM

As diplomats arrive in the Kazakh capital for the start of P5+1 negotiations with Iran, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said a breakthrough is possible if Tehran proves its nuclear program is peaceful.
Ryabkov is leading the Russian delegation in Almaty and said the success of the negotiations require "the political will" and the commitment necessary for the negotiations to "enter this stage."
The Russian diplomat expressed Moscow's growing frustration over the progress of the talks, which have produced few breakthroughs in a series of fits and starts.
"We are calling upon all participants to stop wasting any more time," the Deputy Foreign Minister told reporters as negotiators prepare for their latest attempt at resolving the Iranian nuclear standoff.
"It is simply uncivilized when we make pauses of eight or 15 months," Ryabkov added.
Iran has been subject to international sanctions over Tehran's refusal to fully cooperate with officials from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The UN nuclear watchdog wants full access to Iran's suspected nuclear sites in order to prove it is not conducting nuclear weapons research.
Tehran says its nuclear program is restricted to a civilian energy program.
The Russian diplomat also had some tough words for the Iranians.
"We count upon Iran to arrive in Almaty better prepared from the point of…finding a real common platform, not the repetition of what everyone already knows," he emphasized.
Ryabkov admitted the negotiations will require a lot of give and take on both sides of the table.
"The hard part is how to agree on the balance of interests," he acknowledged. "It is obvious that no one wants to disclose one's internal affairs for nothing."
They need to get something in exchange, Ryabkov said.
Although the Russian diplomat predicted there would be "no breakthrough, no joint decisions or sensational results as far as the settlement as a whole is concerned," he said the negotiators may make enough progress to say that the Almaty round of talks was not "held in vain."
The negotiations in Almaty, scheduled for February 26-27, will include Iranian National Security Council Secretary Saeed Jalili, who attended the June meeting in Moscow, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton, Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu, French Foreign Ministry Director-General for Political and Security Affairs Jacques Audibert, British Foreign Office Political Director Simon Gass and German Foreign Ministry Envoy Hans-Dieter Lucas.
The latest round of negotiations between P5+1 (five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany) was held in Moscow on June 18-19.

Xinhua Headlines: A miracle I witness -- China in the eyes of long-time observers
Source: Xinhua| 2019-09-30 17:49:04|Editor: huaxia
Over the past 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the country has grown into the world's second largest economy, the largest manufacturer, and the largest trader in goods. Its per capita GDP rose more than 500 times that of 1949.
by Xinhua writer He Fei
BEIJING, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- "Never in the world has a developing country (leaped) to an economic wonderland at such a pace," observed German journalist Martin Kummer.
In an interview with Xinhua, the veteran reporter, now in his eighties, recalled the changes he had witnessed in China in his lifetime, and lauded the significant improvements the Asian country has made in quality of life, technology, infrastructure and global governance.
Like Kummer, who has put on several photo shows on China, numerous China observers have recorded China's development process in photos, travelogues and essays, telling the stories behind China's sound and fast development in seven decades.

OPENING UP TO CHANGES
In April 1976, Kummer recorded with his camera various facets of China and the lives of its people during a three-week visit to China, then a mysterious land of the East to many in the West.
People wore "the same black or gray Mao suits," led "poor lives" and had "scarce" recreational activities, he recalled.
In 2006, Kummer retraced the same route of his previous visit, shooting pictures at the same place and from the same angle. He was amazed to see that the cities had developed like mushrooms after the rain.

Over the past 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the country has grown into the world's second largest economy, the largest manufacturer, and the largest trader in goods, with its gross domestic product (GDP) exceeding 90 trillion yuan (about 13.4 trillion U.S. dollars) last year, and its average annual growth rate reaching 9.5 percent. Per capita GDP hit 64,644 yuan (about 9,624.8 dollars) in 2018, more than 500 times that of 1949.
Unveiled in 1978, the reform and opening-up drive has "produced the greatest economic achievement in human history," said John Ross, a British academic and senior fellow with the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, Renmin University of China.
Through persistent endeavors to strengthen its reform and opening-up, China has ushered in a stage of high-quality development, and leapfrogged as an innovator of mobile payment and a sharing economy.

As unilateral and protectionist measures roil the global markets, China has been working to optimize its business environment by passing a foreign investment law and implementing a negative list management system to shore up investors' confidence and create a stable, transparent, predictable and fair market environment.
Economic productivity is fundamentally determined by the performance of the human capital market, and with the vibrant development of a market for ideas, "China will then stand not only as a manufacturing center of the world, but also as a lively source of creativity and innovation," said Ronald Coase, a late Nobel laureate in economics, in one of his books.
William Brown, a U.S. professor of business management at Xiamen University in Southeast China's Fujian Province, has been living with his family in China for more than 30 years.
This summer, he retraced the journey he took in 1994, a 40,000-km drive to inland and coastal areas, and noticed that changes were going on in "every province, every town and every corner."
Rural areas have embraced new technologies, he said in fluent Chinese, citing an example that when he bought some specialties from local farmers, the latter used mobile payment apps to finish the transactions.

Kummer has similar feelings. He said he was impressed by "the dramatically improved everyday lives of people and their ever-increasing prosperity -- first in the east of China, then on to the west."
Compared with 1949, the Chinese people's average life expectancy rose from 35 years to 77 years in 2018, and the education level leaped from an 80-percent illiteracy rate to having nearly one in every three people with a high school diploma or above.
China has created the miracle of lifting over 700 million people out of poverty, which is unprecedented in human history and has set an excellent example for other countries that still struggle with poverty, said former UN General Assembly President Maria Fernanda Espinosa Garces.
The country had 16.6 million rural people living below the national poverty line at the end of 2018, and is striving to make all-out efforts to wipe out absolute poverty by 2020.
"China still has a long way to go" and faces "great internal and external challenges," but the Chinese people and their leaders have been able to discern the road to harmony and prosperity in an increasingly convulsed and uneven world, said Peter Nolan, director of the Center of Development Studies at Cambridge University, in an article published in July in Spanish news outlet Rebelion.

OFFERING POSSIBILITIES TO WORLD
While achieving progress in its domestic development, China has been shouldering responsibility as a major country to make this world a better place.
"We will continue to pursue a win-win strategy of opening-up, share our development opportunities with other countries and welcome them aboard the fast train of China's development," Chinese President Xi Jinping said at the UN Office at Geneva in 2017.
China served as a stabilizer and driver of the world economy in both the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the 2008 global financial crisis, contributing about 30 percent of global growth for many consecutive years.
Facing headwinds of unilateralism and protectionism, the country has been playing a key role in global production and value chains, further opening up its market to foreign investors and injecting fresh vigor into the global economy.

Meanwhile, drawing from its rich development experience, China is trying to shed light on effective global governance to achieve lasting global peace and prosperity.
Thoughts and visions such as practicing the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, fostering a new model of major-country relations, and building a community with a shared future for mankind have resonated with many in the international community.
The contribution of a nation to the world and humanity lies not only in how much it creates materially, but also in the ideas it proposes, Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos said in his state visit to China in May.
Martin Jacques, a senior fellow of politics and international studies at Cambridge University, said China has done unprecedented pioneering work and offers "a new possibility" to the world, and the country is abandoning "the law of the jungle," hegemony and power politics and replacing them with win-win cooperation and sharing.

Kummer, as an accredited journalist to China, was affected by the generosity and warmth of the Chinese people during his many visits, saying it is his "greatest luck" that the number of his Chinese friends continues to increase.
He and his Chinese friends enjoy "a warm friendship with each other till today," Kummer said.■

Olympic Aspirations Hit Home in North Huntingdon 🥇🥋
Karate made its Olympic debut last week in Tokyo, Japan the birthplace of the sport, but for one local dojo it's been a long time coming. Students filled the parking lot of Allegheny Shotokan "Viola Karate" in North Huntingdon to watch the games live on a 20 ft. screen like a drive-in movie theater. While Judo and Tae Kwon Do have been part of the Olympic program for years, this the first time in history for karate. The event was special for Bill Viola Jr. and his father Bill Viola Sr. who have been dreaming of an Olympic berth since the 1980s. Viola Sr. helped spearhead the grassroots Olympic movement in Pennsylvania decades before. Viola Jr. said, "It's taken over 40 years for Karate to make its way to the Games, and we've been cheering every step of the way."
The Viola's have been instrumental in the sports development and were part of a big push to get karate included in the Pan-American Games in 1999. Doug Selchan, a member of Team USA, began his training with Sensei Viola and was able to win a Gold Medal at karate's PAN-AM debut in Winnipeg, Canada. Sensei George E. Anderson was responsible for getting the Olympic Karate movement started in the United States, and he enlisted Sensei Viola to oversee Pennsylvania and help coordinate national events for USA Karate. The USA Karate Federation (USAKF) was the National Governing Body for Karate from 1985-1995 in the United States and member of the US Olympic Committee. In 1986 Viola was appointed Regional Administrator for the USA Karate Federation and promoted the Allegheny Mountain Championships, a qualifier for the USA National Championships. In 1992 Viola hosted the USA Karate Junior Olympics at the University of Pittsburgh Field House. Viola's tournament experience lead him to be named to the USA Karate Organizing Committee, responsible for coordination of the USA Karate National Championships. Today that group has transformed into the USA-National Karate Federation (USANKF) under the banner of the World Karate Federation (WKF) which oversees Olympic karate. On March 9, 2019 Viola Sr. was inducted into the USA Karate Hall of Fame as a "Pioneer of USA Karate" specifically for his contributions to the Olympic karate movement.

Viola Jr. was a multiple time USA Karate National Champion and Team USA Member. He has since passed the torch to his students, namely his daughter Gabby. At just 10-years-old, she is highly accomplished already winning Gold at the WKC National Championships and earning a spot on WKC Team USA. She has been recognized as a 5x State Champion and currently ranked #2 in North America by North American Karate Association (NASKA). This month Black Belt Magazine published her as "Top 5 Female" competitors in the country. At the 2021 US Open in Florida she was awarded Competitor of the Year" by Point Fighter Live. The honor, dubbed as a "Power Award" was voted on by coaches, competitors, and promoters from across North America. After a nationwide poll, Viola not only won her category (edging out a talented competitor from El Paso, Texas) but was the highest vote getter of the show. However, her biggest inspiration is training with the best athletes in the world, including the first Olympic champion in karate history. Six-time defending European Champion Sandra Sánchez of Spain became the first-ever Gold Medalist in the sport on August 5th 2021. Gabby has had the rare opportunity train with Sandra, and that experience has left a lasting impact. She even named her special edition Olympic Barbie "Sandra," touting it as she claimed Olympic glory.

As for the United States, they won their first-ever and "only" karate medal of the games when Ariel Torres secured bronze for Team USA in kata. Torres, from Hialeah Florida, works with 20-year-old Viola Karate student Cameron Klos. Torres is like a big brother to Cameron, mentoring him in the ways of International Competition. Klos a student at Saint Vincent University, is a 2020 North American Sport Karate (NASKA) World Champion, WKC Team USA Member, and Kumite Classic Champion. He travels to train with Ariel and studies remotely via Zoom weekly with him for private lessons. Ariel is preparing Cameron for a bid to make the USA Karate National Team. The same team Ariel represents and competed for in the Olympics.

Sensei Bill Viola Sr. says, "I've trained thousands of students, many who have had Olympic aspirations and skill. It was satisfying to see the Olympics on television, knowing my students have personal connections to these champions. I know all the hard work has finally paid off." Viola Karate has been serving Western Pennsylvania since 1969 and is a member of the USA-NKF under the auspices of the United States Olympic Committee. Their sister program is the award-winning Norwin Ninjas.

The US is in the grip of weather-related disasters from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Coast.
UPDATE: PEOPLE who fled the most destructive fire in Colorado's history have visited the most devastated neighbourhood, and many found their homes among the nearly 350 burned to the ground.
Two bodies were found in the ruins lifting the death toll to 17.
Residents marvelled at the random path of disaster.
Nothing remained of CJ Moore's home but the concrete, but the letters in her mailbox were unscathed.
''It's just unreal. Unreal,'' she said.
Nearby cars were burned to nothing but charred metal, but three neighbours' homes were untouched.
Melted bowling balls were scattered in Moore's front yard.
About 7000 people will be allowed to return to their homes for good on Sunday night local time.
That would leave about 3000 still evacuated, down from more than 30,000 at the peak of the Waldo Canyon fire in Colorado Springs.
The fire was 45 per cent contained late on Sunday night local time after a long week of shifting winds that frustrated firefighters.
It was one of many burning across the West, including eight in Utah and a fast-growing blaze in Montana that forced residents in several small communities to leave.
Authorities at the Colorado Springs fire said they are confident they have stopped flames from spreading.
''We're cautiously optimistic,'' incident commander Rich Harvey said on Sunday.
The two victims' names haven't been released.
Police Chief Pete Carey said on Saturday an estimated 10 people who had been unaccounted for had been located.
Investigators were still trying to determine the cause of the fire that broke out on June 23, and which so far has cost $US8.8 million ($A8.61 million) to battle.
Dangerous conditions had kept them from beginning their inquiry.
Meanwhile, more than three million people in the eastern US are facing a second day of 40 degree temperatures without electricity after storms ripped through the region.
It could be several days before all power outages in Washington, DC, and elsewhere are restored, officials say and the National Weather Service says more thunderstorms are possible.
"Unlike a polite hurricane that gives you three days of warning, this storm gave us all the impact of a hurricane without any of the warning of a hurricane," Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley said.
Mobile phone and internet service remain affected, petrol stations were shut down and residents have been urged to conserve water. Some major online services also saw delays and disruptions.
In Colorado, firefighters have contained about 45 per cent of the Waldo Canyon fire outside Colorado Springs, according to the Denver Post.
Temperatures shot back above 37C in many areas, prompting the US National Weather Service to warn of the prospect of severe thunderstorms including large hail and damaging winds.
"Cities from St. Louis, Missouri to Washington DC are forecast to approach or break daily record high temperatures for yet another day and there may be more all-time records broken," added AccuWeather, a private weather service.
Pepco, the utility that serves Washington and some of its suburbs, said it may be a full week before service is restored to all its customers by teams of linesmen that included reinforcements from as far as Oklahoma and Florida.
"The devastation is extensive and while we expect to have the vast majority of customers restored by the end of day Friday, restoration for some customers may extend into the weekend," Pepco regional president Thomas Graham said.
Local authorities in Washington put out a hyperthermia alert, saying the heat index - which is the thermometer reading adjusted to take humidity into account - in the afternoon was 101 degrees fahrenheit (38C).
"Cooling centers" remained opened in many urban areas as refuges for those - notably the elderly - unable to cope without air conditioning, and at least one major supermarket chain gave away free ice to all comers.
The District of Columbia's emergency management agency suggested going to a movie or a museum in order to beat the heat. "Bottom line is, stay (as) hydrated and cool as possible," it said on its Twitter feed.
Some 3.7 million homes lost power in Friday's storms and four states - Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Ohio - declared states of emergency.
"The power is slowly coming back on line," West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomlin told CNN on Sunday, adding however that "we still have over half a million people without power."
"We just once again ask people to be patient," he said. "It's going to take a few days."
In Baltimore, Maryland, the local Baltimore Gas and Electric utility said it had deployed 1,000 trucks to restore power to 306,000 customers in and around the major port city.
Storm debris was gone from major highways in the region, but downed branches and trees still littered secondary routes.
Responsible for the extreme early-summer weather has been a high pressure area parked over the southeastern United States - the same slow-moving weather system blamed for a fatal wildfire in Colorado earlier in the week.
Firefighters supported by water bombers managed over the weekend to contain much of the Waldo Canyon inferno that killed three people, destroyed nearly 350 residences and left many hundreds homeless.
Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, speaking Sunday on CNN, said it felt as if the worst was over. "But we also know that Mother Nature will be fickle out here," he added. "We're keeping ourselves very alert."
President Barack Obama visited Colorado on Friday to see the devastation first-hand and to praise "the courage and determination and professionalism" of those fighting the flames.

Es coneix com a cas Pujol el procés judicial que se segueix el 2014 contra Jordi Pujol, llavors líder de Convergència Democràtica de Catalunya, pels diners que presumptament va dipositar en paradisos fiscals, procedents d'una herència no declarada del seu progenitor, Florenci Pujol.

En saber-se aquest fet Pujol va ser apartat de tots els seus càrrecs honorífics a Convergència i els nous dirigents cridaren a una refundació del partit, que va refundar-se en l'actual Partit Demòcrata Europeu Català (Pdcat).

El cas implica la seva dona, Marta Ferrussola i els seus fills. Un d'ells Jordi Pujol i Ferrussola, va passar vuit mesos en presó preventiva, fins que va sortir en llibertat el desembre de 2017 després de dipositar una fiança de mig milió d'euros.

Història
El 25 de juliol de 2014, Jordi Pujol i Soley reconegué mitjançant un comunicat personal l'existència de diners no regularitzats a comptes a l'estranger des de 1980, que tenien origen en la deixa del seu pare Florenci i que havien sigut gestionats durant anys per Delfí Mateu i Sayos. Segons el document, els fons s'acolliren a la regularització extraordinària promoguda pel Govern d'Espanya el 2012. Fins al comunicat, l'expresident havia negat la possessió de diners a paradisos fiscals i havia interposat una querella contra el diari El Mundo després de la publicació que la Policia Nacional havia informat de l'existència de 137 milions d'euros en comptes de la família Pujol a Ginebra. L'endemà de fer-se públic el comunicat de Jordi Pujol, El Mundo afirmà que la família podia acumular a paradisos fiscals uns 600 milions d'euros, segons les investigacions policials.

La confessió de Jordi Pujol generà una controvèrsia política que motivà l'anunci de la retirada de l'oficina institucional, la pensió vitalícia i el tractament de Molt Honorable per la Generalitat de Catalunya així com la renúncia als títols de president fundador de Convergència Democràtica de Catalunya i de Convergència i Unió. En aquesta mateixa línia, des de l'alcaldia de Barcelona se li reclamà el retorn de la medalla d'or de la ciutat, que Pujol feu efectiva l'agost del mateix any.

El 29 de gener de 2015, Jordi Pujol declarà davant del jutjat que no tenia cap document que acredités l'origen de la fortuna. L'expresident digué que no volia saber res dels diners «per por».

Si bé es xifra aquesta quantitat entre els 5 i els 8 milions d'euros, el cas continua obert i centrat en la figura del seu fill, Oleguer Pujol, per blanqueig de capitals i en Jordi Pujol i Ferrussola, qui fou detingut de manera preventiva el 2017.

The Dodgers are taking a swing at a World Series Championship for a second year in a row. They won at home Friday night in the longest postseason game in baseball history. Then lost on Saturday, which puts them down 3 – 1 in the seven game series against the Boston Red Sox. They'll take the field again tonight at Dodger Stadium, located just north of downtown in the neighborhood of Elysian Park.
The area has a population of just 2,000. Most crimes that happen in Elysian Park happen on game days when thousands more people enter the small neighborhood.
However, World Series games draw even larger and rowdier crowds, so we looked into last year's crime data from home games at Dodger Stadium.
In the 2017 World Series, the Dodgers faced the Houston Astros four times at home from October 24 to November 1, 2017. Within that week, 19 crimes were reported in Elysian Park. That's the equivalent of an average month of crime in Elysian Park, but in a single week.
The top crime in Elysian Park during last year's World Series was simple assault, which is an unlawful attack on another person that doesn't involve weapons or serious injuries, according to the LAPD Crime Statistics Glossary. A single punch, for example. There were also multiple counts of petty theft and two counts of simple assault that specifically involved intimate partners.
So far, there have been on average about 20 crimes per month reported this year in Elysian Park. As you might expect, the months with the lowest numbers of reported crimes are the first two and last two months of the year, during Major League Baseball's off season, when Dodger Stadium is quiet.
These are the top three so far this year.
As for the Dodgers players, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is working with them to make sure their homes are protected during the Series. Last year, outfielder Yasiel Puig's home was targeted by burglars during Game 7.
If you're heading to a game and need to contact Dodger Stadium security, call, 323-224-2611 or text a message to 69050 using the keyword LADFAN.
And for the love of Vin Scully be kind to your fellow baseball fans!

The philosophical problem of knowledge of other minds is rational justifiction. this paper covers n malcolm, h h price, j mill, strawson, hamshire, l wittgenstein and a j ayer's controversial thought. philosophical scepticism holds that it is logically impossible to know mental experiences.

The T-Schema is Not a Logical Truth.R. T. Cook - 2012 - Analysis 72 (2):231-239.details
It is shown that the logical truth of instances of the T-schema is incompatible with the formal nature of logical truth. In particular, since the formality of logical truth entails that the set of logical truths is closed under substitution, the logical truth of T-schema instances entails that all sentences are logical truths.

It is often held that God cannot be timeless if presentism is true, but can be if eternalism is true. R. T. Mullins draws on recent work in the philosophy of time as well as the work of classical Christian thinkers such as Augustine, Anselm, and Aquinas to contend that the Christian God cannot be timeless in either case.

What is Wrong with Cantor's Diagonal Argument?R. T. Brady & P. A. Rush - 2008 - Logique Et Analyse 51 (1):185-219..details
We first consider the entailment logic MC, based on meaning containment, which contains neither the Law of Excluded Middle (LEM) nor the Disjunctive Syllogism (DS). We then argue that the DS may be assumed at least on a similar basis as the assumption of the LEM, which is then justified over a finite domain or for a recursive property over an infinite domain. In the latter case, use is made of Mathematical Induction. We then show that an instance of the (...) LEM is intrumental in the proof of Cantor's Theorem, and we then argue that this is based on a more general form than can be reasonably justified. We briefly consider the impact of our approach on arithmetic and naive set theory, and compare it with intuitionist mathematics and briefly with recursive mathematics. Our "Four Basic Logical Issues" paper would provide useful background, the current paper being an application of the some of the ideas in it. (shrink)
Logical Consequence and Entailment in Logic and Philosophy of Logic
Divine Temporality, the Trinity, and the Charge of Arianism.R. T. Mullins - 2016 - Journal of Analytic Theology 4:267-290.details
Divine temporality is all the rage in certain theological circles today. Some even suggesting that the doctrine of the Trinity entails divine temporality. While I find this claim a bit strong, I do think that divine temporality can be quite useful for developing a robust model of the Trinity. However, not everyone agrees with this. Paul Helm has offered an objection to the so-called Oxford school of divine temporality based on the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. He has argued that (...) this form of divine temporality entails Arianism. In other words, divine temporality suffers from an inadequate doctrine of the Trinity. In this paper I shall first articulate the so-called Oxford school of divine temporality. From there I shall develop some of the Oxford school's theological benefits that help flesh out the doctrine of the Trinity, and assuage the charge of Arianism. Then I shall offer an examination and refutation of the Arian charge to divine temporality in order to show that the divine temporalist can maintain a robust Trinitarian theology. (shrink)
The Trinity in Philosophy of Religion
Hasker on the Divine Processions of the Trinitarian Persons.R. T. Mullins - 2017 - European Journal for Philosophy of Religion 9 (4):181-216.details
Within contemporary evangelical theology, a peculiar controversy has been brewing over the past few decades with regard to the doctrine of the Trinity. A good number of prominent evangelical theologians and philosophers are rejecting the doctrine of divine processions within the eternal life of the Trinity. In William Hasker's recent Metaphysics and the Tri-Personal God, Hasker laments this rejection and seeks to offer a defense of this doctrine. This paper shall seek to accomplish a few things. In section I, I (...) shall first set the stage for a proper understanding of the discussion. Section II will articulate the basic Trinitarian desiderata that must be satisfied by any model of the doctrine of the Trinity. This will help one understand the debate between Hasker and the procession deniers. Section III will offer an articulation of what the doctrine of divine processions teaches. Section IV will examine Hasker's defense of the doctrine point by point. I shall argue that his defense of the doctrine of the divine processions fails. (shrink)

Divine Perfection and Creation.R. T. Mullins - 2016 - Heythrop Journal 57 (1):122-134.details
Proclus (c.412-485) once offered an argument that Christians took to stand against the Christian doctrine of creation ex nihilo based on the eternity of the world and God's perfection. John Philoponus (c.490-570) objected to this on various grounds. Part of this discussion can shed light on contemporary issues in philosophical theology on divine perfection and creation. First I will examine Proclus' dilemma and John Philoponus' response. I will argue that Philoponus' fails to rebut Proclus' dilemma. The problem is that presentism (...) is incompatible with divine simplicity, timelessness, and a strong doctrine of immutability. From there I will look at how this discussion bears on contemporary understandings of divine perfection and creation, and argue that there are at least two possible ways contemporary philosophical theologians can try to get around the dilemma. One option is to adopt four-dimensional eternalism and maintain the traditional account of the divine perfections. I argue that this option suffers from difficulties that are not compatible with Christian belief. The other option is to keep presentism and modify the divine perfections. I argue that this option is possible and preferable since our understanding of the divine perfections must be modified in light of divine revelation and the incarnation. (shrink)

God and Emotion.R. T. Mullins - 2020 - Cambridge University Press.details
An introductory exploration on the nature of emotions, and examination of some of the critical issues surrounding the emotional life of God as they relate to happiness, empathy, love, and moral judgments. Covering the different criteria used in the debate between impassibility and passibility, readers can begin to think about which emotions can be predicated of God and which cannot.
The Aloneness Argument Against Classical Theism.Joseph C. Schmid & R. T. Mullins - forthcoming - Religious Studies:1-19.details
We argue that there is a conflict among classical theism's commitments to divine simplicity, divine creative freedom, and omniscience. We start by defining key terms for the debate related to classical theism. Then we articulate a new argument, the Aloneness Argument, aiming to establish a conflict among these attributes. In broad outline, the argument proceeds as follows. Under classical theism, it's possible that God exists without anything apart from Him. Any knowledge God has in such a world would be wholly (...) intrinsic. But there are contingent truths in every world, including the world in which God exists alone. So, it's possible that God (given His omniscience) contingently has wholly intrinsic knowledge. But whatever is contingent and wholly intrinsic is an accident. So, God possibly has an accident. This is incompatible with classical theism. Finally, we consider and rebut several objections. (shrink)

Flint's 'Molinism and the Incarnation' is Still Too Radical — A Rejoinder to Flint.R. T. Mullins - 2017 - Journal of Analytic Theology 5:515-532.details
I greatly appreciate Thomas Flint's reply to my paper, "Flint's 'Molinism and the Incarnation' is too Radical." In my original paper I argue that the Christology and eschatology of Flint's paper "Molinism and the Incarnation" is too radical to be considered orthodox. I consider it an honor that a senior scholar, such as Flint, would concern himself with my work in the first place. In this response to Flint's reply I will explain why I still find Flint's Christology and eschatology (...) to be too radical. Below I shall attempt to address various issues raised by Flint in his reply. (shrink)

How 'Decent' Is a Decent Minimum of Health Care?R. T. Meulen - 2011 - Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 36 (6):612-623.details
This article tries to analyze the meaning of a decent minimum of health care, by confronting the idea of decent care with the concept of justice. Following the ideas of Margalith about a decent society, the article argues that a just minimum of care is not necessarily a decent minimum. The way this minimum is provided can still humiliate individuals, even if the end result is the best possible distribution of the goods as seen from the viewpoint of justice. This (...) analysis is combined with an analysis from the perspective of solidarity, particularly of reflective solidarity, as a way to develop decent care, which is care that does not humiliate individuals and maintains their dignity.

The Moral Dimension of Children's and Adolescents' Conceptualisation of Tolerance to Human Diversity.R. T. Witenberg - 2007 - Journal of Moral Education 36 (4):433-451.details
This study examined the kinds of justifications children and adolescents used to support tolerant and intolerant judgements about human diversity. For the tolerant responses, three main belief categories emerged, based on the beliefs that others should be treated fairly , empathetically and that reason/logic ought to govern judgements . Fairness emerged as the most used belief to support tolerant judgements and the most commonly used combination of beliefs was found to be fairness/empathy, linking tolerance to moral reasoning, rules and values. (...) Specifically noticeable was that 6-7-year-olds appealed to fairness more often in comparison to the 11-12 and 15-16-year-olds. Older students used a larger repertoire of beliefs to support tolerance, indicating developing cognitive maturity. There was also a tendency for females to appeal to fairness/empathy more often than males. The major constraint to positive tolerance was not prejudice toward the target groups but the adolescents' beliefs in freedom of speech as a democratic right, pointing to a conflict in values between tolerance and other human rights.

The Metaphysics of Natural Right in Spinoza.John R. T. Grey - forthcoming - Oxford Studies in Early Modern Philosophy 10.details
In the Tractatus Theologico-Politicus (TTP), Spinoza argues that an individual's natural right extends as far as their power. Subsequently, in the Tractatus Politicus (TP), he offers a revised argument for the same conclusion. Here I offer an account of the reasons for the revision. In both arguments, an individual's natural right derives from God's natural right. However, the TTP argument hinges on the claim that each individual is part of the whole of nature (totius naturae), and for this reason inherits (...) part of the natural right of that whole. Using several analogous cases from the Ethics, I show that this form of argument from division is not compatible with Spinoza's considered metaphysical views. The revised argument, by contrast, avoids the pitfalls of his earlier efforts. It also better reveals the deep roots by which the monistic metaphysics of the Ethics feeds into Spinoza's conception of natural right. (shrink)

New Consecution Calculi for R→T.Katalin Bimbó & J. Michael Dunn - 2012 - Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic 53 (4):491-509.details
The implicational fragment of the logic of relevant implication, $R_{\to}$ is one of the oldest relevance logics and in 1959 was shown by Kripke to be decidable. The proof is based on $LR_{\to}$ , a Gentzen-style calculus. In this paper, we add the truth constant $\mathbf{t}$ to $LR_{\to}$ , but more importantly we show how to reshape the sequent calculus as a consecution calculus containing a binary structural connective, in which permutation is replaced by two structural rules that involve $\mathbf{t}$ (...) . This calculus, $LT_\to^{\text{\textcircled{$\mathbf{t}$}}}$ , extends the consecution calculus $LT_{\to}^{\mathbf{t}}$ formalizing the implicational fragment of ticket entailment . We introduce two other new calculi as alternative formulations of $R_{\to}^{\mathbf{t}}$ . For each new calculus, we prove the cut theorem as well as the equivalence to the original Hilbert-style axiomatization of $R_{\to}^{\mathbf{t}}$ . These results serve as a basis for our positive solution to the long open problem of the decidability of $T_{\to}$ , which we present in another paper. (shrink)

In a series of papers, Thomas P. Flint has posited that God the Son could become incarnate in any human person as long as certain conditions are met (Flint 2001a, 2001b). In a recent paper, he has argued that all saved human persons will one day become incarnated by the Son (Flint 2011). Flint claims that this is motivated by a combination of Molinism and orthodox Christology. I shall argue that this is unmotivated because it is condemned by orthodox Christology. (...) Flint has unknowingly articulated a version of the heresy called Origenism that is condemned by the Fifth Ecumenical Council. After arguing that Flint's account is unmotivated because it is condemned, I shall offer some reflections and prolegomena on the relationship between contemporary analytic theology and the ecumenical creeds.

Conway's Ontological Objection to Cartesian Dualism.John R. T. Grey - 2017 - Philosophers' Imprint 17:1-19.details
Anne Conway disagrees with substance dualism, the thesis that minds and bodies differ in nature or essence. Instead, she holds that "the distinction between spirit and body is only modal and incremental, not essential and substantial". Yet several of her arguments against dualism have little force against the Cartesian, since they rely on premises no Cartesian would accept. In this paper, I show that Conway does have at least one powerful objection to substance dualism, drawn from premises that Descartes seems (...) bound to accept. She argues that two substances differ in nature only if they differ in their "original and peculiar" cause ; yet all created substances have the same original and peculiar cause; so, all created substances have the same nature. As I argue, the Cartesian is under a surprising amount of pressure to accept Conway's argument, since its key premise is motivated by a conception of substance similar to one endorsed by Descartes in his Principles of Philosophy.

Skateboarding on Snow; New Design Lets Skateboarders Ride and Do Tricks On the Snow Just Like They Do on the Street
PHOENIX, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ — RAILZ, a manufacturer and supplier of skateboard and snowskate products, is introducing a line of boards that allow enthusiasts to skate on snow. This winter, skateboard and snowboard shops across the country will be introducing RAILZ, "The Snowskate that skates." The RAILZ snowskates will allow skateboarders to ride and do tricks on the snow just like they do on the street, and with zero learning curve.
The RAILZ snowskate is different than snowboarding or other snowskates, because it utilizes standard skateboard trucks with four skis instead of wheels. This allows the RAILZ snowskate to skate on snow just like a skateboard on pavement. In short, if you can skate on pavement, you can ride a RAILZ snowskate on the snow.
RAILZ offers a short board, a long board and a conversion kit that allows you to convert your existing skateboard into a snowskate. The short board is a 32″ Tech board for street and vert-type skating. These boards can ollie, kick-flip, grind and board slide just like their wheeled cousins. The long board is a 46″ cruiser intended for bombing and carving down anything from packed snow-covered streets to runs at your favorite ski resort. The conversion kit allows you to convert your own skateboard into a RAILZ snowskate just by replacing the wheels with RAILZ skis.

Visitor's Rally
Over the 31st August – 2nd September weekend the Society hosted its annual rally for visiting locomotives.
In spite of the published dates the rally seems to get underway earlier each year. This year several of our own members were already set up with their caravans by the Wednesday. On Thursday morning the first of our visitors arrived and after settling in began to unload their engines on the steaming bays. In the evening we enjoyed a social get together with a coffee in the Clubhouse.
Friday saw more visitors arriving and unloading a good variety of locomotives. Steam was raised, batteries charged and tanks fuelled so that track running commenced. During the day the new urn remained in constant use supplying copious quantities of tea and coffee for all. Around 6pm all eyes turned towards the road awaiting the arrival of the fish and chips which were pre-ordered on the booking form. These duly arrived and were despatched in short order. Once the remains of this meal were removed everyone settled down for a presentation by Peter Woods. This was followed by more social chat and discussion.
Saturday dawned bright and clear and once again locomotives were prepared for running. More visitors arrived and the steaming bays were soon full and smoke and steam gushed into the Haynes air. A fine variety of stock was soon travelling the tracks of Summerfields and Springfield from rakes of coaches to demonstration goods. Due to a mistake in press advertising some public turned up expecting the railway to be open. Not everyone wanted this but all passengers were accommodated and received their rides. By late afternoon the Clubhouse had been transformed into a restaurant and the bar opened which was well patronised. Our caterers arrived and it was time for everyone to enjoy the food they had ordered which arrived hot and on time. Once everything was cleared away a night run was proposed and a train was made ready. The two ladies from the caterers were the first to board as one of them had been before and insisted that it was one of the perks of the job. A packed train departed and soon the rear red light disappeared over the bridge towards Hammer Hill. The social atmosphere continued throughout the evening as people enjoyed a chat over a beer or coffee.
With public running officially on Sunday it was great that, once again, the weather co-operated with no rain in the forecast. Most trains were operated by our visitors, which was much appreciated by our regular customers. Thanks to all who made the day successful and memorable.
BMES would like to thank all who made the rally a success – our visitors, our organisers, our members and we look forward to doing it all again in 2014.

Alitalia Introduces Hi-Tech Bag Drop-Off Kiosks at Rome???s Fiumicino Airport
The check-in process for Alitalia passengers flying from Rome Fiumicino airport is now faster and simpler. The Italian airline has introduced 40 self-service check-in kiosks at Terminal 1 and for the first time in Italy, 10 new self-service bag drop-off kiosks for the automatic delivery of checked-in baggage. This means that passengers with luggage for the aircraft's hold can check-in their bags on the web, mobile phones or self check-in and then drop off their suitcases in just a few seconds without having to queue at check-in desks.
Aubrey Tiedt, Alitalia's Chief Customer Officer, said: "The new service aims to make the travel experience with Alitalia even more innovative and comfortable and provide the best technological solutions available to our customers. Alitalia is committed to making excellence its benchmark, and to stand out among European airlines for its efficiency, innovation and hospitality. This is why we have made check-in faster, especially for passengers with baggage to drop off. At the new kiosks, travellers will be greeted by Alitalia staff, who will provide them with any assistance they may need to check-in smoothly and rapidly.???
At the new self check-in kiosks, passengers will be able to print boarding passes and tags for luggage to be dropped off at the self-service units.
The kiosks will also allow passengers to purchase additional services such as extra baggage allowances, weight or size excess fees, on-board seat selection, upgrades to a higher class of travel, fast-track for security checks and purchasing of day tickets for the airline's recently opened Casa Alitalia lounge.
Digital check-in such as web, mobile and self-service, is becoming increasingly popular with Alitalia passengers, and according to the airline???s latest data, there were nearly 2.6 million digital check-ins between January and April this year, accounting for 52.3 per cent of the total check-in transactions, up 7.9 per cent on the same period last year.

The above picture is what it usually looks like. • I downloaded a few apps including Google Talk • The free Google Talk downloaded ok. But when it rebooted my system, my Bold started spewing error messages like "java exception." Lots of them! See next slide.
This is not a good user experience ... where's the [Not OK] button? After I downloaded/installed Google Talk, my Bold had errors & reset to default Rogers O/S footprint. Background is gone as are all my photos. Icons are moved (some programs are missing). The keyboard #'s wouldn't work, only the QWERTY letters. The "airplane" mode icon is missing. SMS's and Emails in both inbox and sent items are gone. Email config is gone. Kept my contacts, WiFi and weather settings intact, though. WARNING!!! PAINFUL!!! Who should I blame?
(He's just being honest ... and all vendors face the same issue) "Expect more bugs" Companies of all shapes, sizes, Paraphrased from RIM co-CEO: talent and resources are are Jim Balsillie, Jan 2009 struggling with fragmentation; this is a hard problem to solve. http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/ rim-ceo-buggy-smartphone-software-is- But customers don't care! the-new-reality/ They just want it to work.
What about Mobile 2.0? It's not Web 2.0, but it is browser based, just like your PC internet surfing. Sort of. And, it's not going to fix fragmentation. Just change it a bit.
With apps, Apple has shown the way. But it's still V0.9 • Released July, 2008 • In less than one year, 1 Billion downloads. • 10,000 apps downloaded every 2.2 minutes. 50M apps downloaded in one week. Per week. Every week. • Total of 25,000 apps ... our prediction: 100,000 apps by end of 2009 • Plenty of room in the pool for other handset manufacturers, carriers and web off-deck app stores.


Outsourcing software development can be a positive option but has major downsides. I've been badly burned with outsourced developers so here are 3 lessons that might help you.
First of all, realize that the more valuable the software you want to create, the less likely you are to successfully outsource its development. In other words, if your software might generate a gazillion dollars of revenue and you're outsourcing its development for a few thousand dollars, then the developer will have very little incentive to perform miracles for you. How would you feel coding for dollars a software that might make someone else a few million dollars? This is especially true if you're outsourcing the first version of a software: specs kill creativity because it's only AFTER seeing the coded result of a spec that you realize that such and such functionality should actually be done differently. If you're creating something new, the spec should be a roadmap to the discovery of the final product, as it's being built. I don't think you can outsource the creative process that goes into the first build of a new software. On the other hand, if you're porting an existing product to another platform and everything is already figured out, then outsourcing might work. So in my opinion, don't outsource software development that requires lots of creativity or that's critical to your business. That's why for startups, outsourcing is usually a terrible idea.
Third, if you outsource development, you MUST remain in control of the Q&A. As you know, there are many ways of writing code and some ways might be undesirable shortcuts that may come back and haunt you later. Be involved in the major architectural decisions and make sure that the code is at all times testable. If you hear "waterfall methodology", run for cover; if you hear "agile test-driven development" or "source control access", stick around. In other words, only outsource what you could yourself do so that you can supervise and understand what's happening, in a clear and transparent process.
Hope these help you with your dilemma and good luck with your business.


I have to admit that the weather doesn't help to motivate us to finish the Great Neverending House Renovation - who would choose sanding and painting over curling up by the fire with something hot and candles lit??
Your home and garden look sooooo cozy! I love snow too, and I also hope NEVER to grow out of it :) Enjoy till it melts!
What wonderful photographs - thanks for sharing them they take me back to growing up in East Yorkshire. I've been having many a hot chocolate and hot toddy this winter, especially after getting a foot of snow the other week. Think i've seen enough for this year haha.
Oh I love Yorkshire! Such a beautiful place, even more so when covered in snow.
A bit late but they are some seriously beautiful photos!


Undefeated featherweight prospect Toka "T-Nice" Kahn-Clary (16-0, 10 KOs) may be the best, relatively "unknown" prizefighter in the country, at least outside of New England.
A decorated American amateur who had a 131-11 record, highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 National Golden Gloves Tournament, Kahn-Clary returns to the ring this Friday night (Nov. 20) at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas against Mexican opponent Sergio "Cuatito" Lopez (19-9-1, 13 KOs) in what is supposed to be Kahn-Clary's last scheduled eight-round bout before he graduates to 10-rounders.
Lopez is a serious test for any prospect. His last three fights include a loss to 18-0 Alejandro Luna (KO4) this past August, 10-round split draw with 24-7-1 Joksan Hernandez, and a stunning fifth-round technical knockout of 16-0 Victor Betancourt.
Kahn-Clary, fighting out of Providence, is coming off his most notable victory as a professional last June, in which he stepped up in class to take on 33-11 Jonathan Perez, the former Colombian super bantamweight and World Boxing Council (WBC) champion. Kahn-Clary stopped Perez in the sixth round of their fight on a card headlined by Timothy Bradley's interim world welterweight title win over Jessie Vargas at StubHub Center in Carson, California.
The 23-year-old, who was born Toka Kahn, will never face obstacles in the ring more difficult to overcome than his early life experiences. Now a blue-chip prospect, he was born in Liberia and came to America with his younger sister to join their father when he was only six. He lived in Philadelphia only one year before his father was killed in a shooting. Toka's arduous journey continued as he and his sister moved to Providence, where they lived with foster parents who, frankly, didn't care what happened to them.
All signs pointed to Toka getting in trouble on the Providence streets as a youngster, particularly at times, when he was homeless. Fortunately, though, a friend brought him to Manfredo's Gym in Pawtuckert, RI. Boxing truly saved his life. Manfredo, USA Boxing New England president Jim Perella and the couple that eventually adopted him, Andrea Watson and Ron Clary, dramatically changed his life.
Kahn-Clary signed a promotional contract with Top Rank, which, along with manager Mike Criscio and Manfredo, have moved Kahn-Clary at a steady, upward pace. Kahn-Clary, incidentally, will be fighting for the third time this year, after having five last year.
"Top Rank has done a good job keeping me busy," southpaw Kahn-Clary commented. "I know that it takes time to climb the ladder and I still need to improve a few things. I need to beat a top fighter to get into the world rankings. I'll be ready when I get that call.
Quality sparring in New England is at a premium, especially for a smaller-weight fighter such as Kahn-Clary, who has gained invaluable experience sparring with WBA super featherweight Javier Fortuna (29-0-1, 21 KOs), three-time US Olympian Rau'shee Warren and his fellow New England and friend, New Haven's Luis "KO King" Rosa (21-0, 10 KOs).
Meanwhile, Toka Kahn-Clary plans to make his name in boxing next year. First, though, he has to get past Lopez this Saturday night to keep his momentum going.
Follow Kahn-Clary on Twitter and Instagram @TokaKahnClary, or friend him on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/tokakahn.

Selena Gomez is Our Kind of Girl, She Ranks Her Hotness on a Scale of 1 to 10 so Honest & Sweet
photo: Instagram/ E! Online
On Monday, Selena Gomez called into Boston's The TJ Show and one of the coolest things is how she answered the question of how she ranks herself on a scale of 1 to 10.
"On a good day, I would say—like a premiere day—I would be a good 9. And then, on my every day, I feel like a 6. Gosh, that sounds so bad! I feel like a 6 or a 7." Gomez admitted that like many women, "you have your days" where you don't feel even remotely close to a 10.
Gomez felt so awkward when the radio host said she is more than just a 6 or 7:
"It is so awkward...That's so weird," the "Good for You" singer explained. "Why would I want to say something like that?" she asked. "It's awkward enough answering."
"Let's say, like, 9.75," the co-hosts pleaded.
"Deal!" Gomez said with a laugh.

Ariana Grande Apologizes for "I Hate America" Comment as Police Investigate Grande's Donut Licking Video
Ariana Grande has had a rough week. The Pop star allegedly drops out of performing at the MLB All-Star concert this weekend in Cincinnati (July 11th) due to health issues (she tweets she had 3 wisdom teeth pulled) and now a video was leaked to TMZ showing her and one of her dancers licking doughnuts that were sitting on the shelf in a doughnut shop.
The video not only shows the singer licking doughnuts she does not purchase, she goes on to say that she, "hates America".
Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com
California police said Wednesday they are investigating a video that appears to show pop superstar Ariana Grande licking doughnuts.
Police in Lake Elsinore, where the donut shop is located, say they and Riverside County public health officials were investigating the leaked video, which appears to show the 22-year-old and a man with her "maliciously lick" the doughnuts on top of a counter.
Mayra Solis, 22, a cashier at Wolfee Donuts who was on duty when Grande went into the store, said the singer didn't purchase any of the doughnuts she appears to lick.
"She was really rude," Solis told The Associated Press.
Sheriff's Deputy Michael Vasquez told the Los Angeles Times, they don't believe a crime was committed, so Grande may not be investigated.
In the same video, which was posted by TMZ on Tuesday, also shows Grande blurting out "What the f--k is that? I hate Americans. I hate America."
If that seems bad, just wait, the doughnut clerk revealed that the doughnut that were licked were sold to customers because they did not know that Grande and her friend licked the doughnuts. Ugh, that's nasty!!!!
Ariana has since apologized for her comments and claims that it was all taken out of context. Um sweetie just remember who made you rich, the Americans that you say you hate who work hard every day to make their money so they can buy your music.
Transgender Model Responds to Tyga's Comments
Transgender Model, Mia Isabella responds to Tyga's recent Twitter comments about the cheating scandal between the two.
First here is one of Tyga's tweets whose lawyer admits the photos of his private parts are his but the actual text messages are fake:
Smh. The devil is working hard today. Lol
— T-Raww (@Tyga) July 7, 2015
Mia Isaella told VH1, "It's very sad that the idea of a man loving a trans person has to be considered a scandal when all people are equal — love always wins doesn't it? I live in a world in my mind where everything is a fairy tale of love. Saddening to see small-minded thoughts travel so quickly like wildfire not knowing if it's true or not. It's like wave crashing over me washing over me to see masses of humanity rise with pitch forks blindly following."
Mia doesn't deny the rumors but she does go on to say:
"This person is not the man that I love but I have loved a few incredible and celebrated men in my life. I live my live in the open courageous and brave in my truth. I've been blessed to live in a time where my freedom has allowed me to create the woman I am today in my own image. If only everyone could be so brave. Unconditional love is godlike spreading hate simply a set back for humanity itself," Mia said.
The actress also spoke out on Instagram saying, "Dealing with gossip, hate & threats- they bet against you when they raise the bet."
According to the grapevine, Tyga has been having a relationship with Mia for 3 years. So, is it true? Did the rapper keep another relationship secret while he was dating his baby's Mama Black Chyna? No surprise here, because Tyga, 25, has also been dating Kylie Jenner, 17, for almost a year and kept that a secret as long as he could until the mess hit the fan and Black Chyna dumped him.
According to reports, Kylie is totally distraught over Tyga's sex scandal. Dear Kylie, a leopard never changes his spots. So, once a cheater always a cheater.

The Unknown Person Who Created the Pretty Little Liars Reddit AMA is the Real Liar
Wednesday - someone decided to make trouble by creating a Reddit AMA claiming that they had recently been a PA on the set of Pretty Little Liars and that they were fired for failing a drug test. The unknown person claims that because of this they decided to reveal some major spoilers from the show's season 6 finale, which is suppose to reveal the real identity of "A".
The person as since deleted the post and a long with their identity.

Story: Quality Schools United States
Charter School Growth Fund Bolsters High-Performing Schools
Children learn at their best when schools consider their academic, social, and emotional needs. Yet many U.S. public school students do not have the opportunity to go to schools that address their robust needs. Black and Latino students in particular are more likely than their peers to attend schools that do not match their values or life experiences.
The Charter School Growth Fund (CSGF) identifies, funds, and supports talented education leaders who are launching and scaling public charter schools in communities with few high-quality public schools. CSGF supports these high-performing charter school operators so they can serve more students and expand their impact on young people from historically underserved backgrounds.
With the Charter School Growth Fund, I know I have people working with me who are aligned with me on wanting my scholars and my schools to succeed.
Dr. Charlene Reid, co-CEO of Excellence Community Schools (ECS).
People — especially leaders — are at the heart of change. That's why CSGF helps strong school leaders create customized growth plans to further expand their impact. Some leaders may be in the process of replicating their high-performing public charter schools for the first time. Others may already be leading networks of charter schools and are taking on new challenges. No matter the next phase for these leaders and their schools, CSGF wants to ensure they have the funding, resources, and mentors they need to achieve their vision.
Rooted in the belief that all families should have access to great public schools that prepare them for long-term success, the CSGF portfolio schools serve K-12 students through a variety of focuses, including STEM, foreign languages, and social-emotional learning. More than 90% of the students in CSGF-supported schools are students of color, and more than 70% are students who qualify for free- or reduced-price lunch.
Research shows that students are more successful in learning and connected to their schools when their principals and teachers share their backgrounds. This is why CSGF prioritizes growing charter networks that are founded or led by people of color. To date, CSGF has supported more than 110 charter network founders of color. In approximately 80% of CSGF-supported schools, Black and Latinx students show proficiency at higher rates than other Black and Latino students in their states.
Over the next decade, CSGF plans to help the charter schools and networks in its portfolio grow to serve one million students, enabling more young people to attend high-quality schools.

Devizes Branch News: 6 November 2012
Devizes Branch's major late summer focus was the Celebration on Devizes Wharf on 23rd September to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Trust. A great deal of work and planning went into the event, and we were encouraged by the number of friends in canal-based organisations, voluntary and commercial, who took part. We had representation from Wiltshire Council, the CRT, the Wilts and Berks Trust, and the event was opened by the Mayor of Devizes, supported by David Bruce and Mike Rodd.
There was entertainment from the Regency Dancers, Roses Morrismen and Devizes Town Band. Victoria from the Wharf Café fed us from a delicious barbeque, and Alan Smith's family manned the beer tent.
Exhibitors included author Esther Smith and local artists Alan and Sarah Padwick. The Trust was represented by the Museum, the Archives and a display by the Crofton branch. The Residential Boat Owners Association were present, and Elaine Stanley from CRT provided children's activities.
The Bruce Trust's boat Rachel was moored alongside and welcomed visitors, as did White Horse Boat's Moonraker.
Devizes own radio station, Fantasy FM, provided a running commentary as well as live hook-ups into their programming, and interviews with key participants. The event was covered by the Gazette and Herald, and made it to the BBC news website.
The disappointment of the day was the appalling weather, however, and very few people not directly involved attended the event. This was an obvious disappointment to all those who had made the effort to contribute to it, though there were benefits in terms of the 'profile' of the Trust in the Devizes area, and the positive feeling of teamwork among the committee and others involved.
Kenavon Venture has had a very successful season, with more trips and more passengers despite the inclement weather.
The Wharf Café is up and running, and provides very good food and drinks. There is a discount for Trust members. A new monthly social, "Canals and Coffee" is an informal get-together in the café at 2.30 on the first Sunday in every month. Much of the work to upgrade the Wharf building – and there is much more to be done – was achieved by a tiny group of members, to whom our thanks are due.
We are now into the winter season, and various events are now planned. Details are on the Devizes Branch page under Events Calendar which can be accessed here. Our next more formal Branch event is Carols on the Wharf on Saturday 8th December, led by Rev Sue Rodd, and accompanied by Devizes Town Band, to which all are welcome.
Given the cost of postage, most branch correspondence is now by e-mail. Please let us know your up-to-date e-mail address. Information on this website will also be updated regularly. Devizes residents can also check the notice board outside the office on the Wharf.
Further details from the Branch Secretary, Val Noviss on 01380 813227 or at kactdevizesbranch@hotmail.co.uk
Ho, Ho, Ho! Santa Trips on the Kennet and Avon Th...

title: Useful Digital Marketing Learning Resources
header-img: img/google-algorithms.jpg
meta-description: A quick little list of useful Digital Marketing Learning Resources that I rate
categories:
- Blog
- Marketing
---
Thought I'd share this with everyone just in case there are any nuggets that might be useful for others.

Any of the blogs for the tools that are used can be great especially Moz and their Whiteboard Friday video:
[moz.com/blog](https://moz.com/blog)

Also the following tools, bearing in mind their content will skew towards using their tools but can be widely applied[
[www.semrush.com/blog/](https://www.semrush.com/blog/)
[ahrefs.com/blog/](https://ahrefs.com/blog/)
[blog.majestic.com/](https://blog.majestic.com/)

The Official Google Webmaster Tools Blog is the source for many new updates [
[webmasters.googleblog.com](https://webmasters.googleblog.com)

Many official updates, plus things that are being widely noticed by the community but not being talked about officially by the search engines  will come out on the following closely related sites:[
[searchengineland.com](https://searchengineland.com)
[www.seroundtable.com](https://www.seroundtable.com)

If you can make it up to town, Search London is worth attending. They have regular speakers such as Aleyda Solis, Lukas Zelezney, Russell McAthy, etc. as well as the founders/directors of many of the other agencies and toolsets – good opportunity to network, normally paid ticket but you get a load of content and normally a couple of free drinks[
[www.meetup.com/search-london/](https://www.meetup.com/search-london/)

Also Brighton SEO, tickets can be sourced for free if you are lucky, as well as paid for with additional benefits such as premium sessions and round tables.
If you can't make it stream the main session live for free.[
[www.brightonseo.com](https://www.brightonseo.com)

Look for the regular authors/speakers on any of the above, especially guest authors, and check out their twitter feeds for content they write or share.

If you want to get a wide overview on all digital marketing topics spend £11 on the following course on Udemy 19 hour course with video and specific tasks to do.[
[www.udemy.com/learn-digital-marketing-course/](https://www.udemy.com/learn-digital-marketing-course/)

That should get you started. I haven't touched outreach, social or local there (saying that Greg Gifford is good for local SEO albeit with a US skew – definitely watch his content its brilliant).

Finally, look to the wider marketing field as well especially as digital marketing becomes more just marketing. Marketing Week is good in this respect and especially the content from Mark Ritson who is a very straight shooter (plus adjunct professor or marketing for Sydney University and marketing advisor for LVMH) – he is not a social media marketing fan though! [

Have any suggestions for me, tweet me [twitter.com/seanreillyesq](@seanreillyesq)

Q: Why is xdg-mime using so much CPU? Every time I start Discord, I see four processes called xdg-mime appear in the System Monitor, each consistently using somewhere between 20-25% of a CPU.
What are these processes, and what are they doing? It seems odd that they're using so much more processing power than discord itself is.

A: I had the same problem, as did the people here.
One of them posted this link to a workaround to our problem.
Type which xdg-mime in the terminal. If the output is /usr/bin/xdg-mime then create a file called xdg-mime in /usr/local/bin/, containing the following:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ "$@" == *"x-scheme-handler/discord"* ]]; then
    /usr/bin/true
else
    /usr/bin/xdg-mime $@
fi

Make the file executable.
If xdg-mime is not installed at /usr/bin/ then, instead, report back and I will try to help.
I hope the people at Discord fix the problem for real, but for now, this is good enough.
