The virtues of interdisciplinary research: Psychological and philosophical inquiry into self, motivation, and virtue
Blaine J. Fowers, Bradford Cokelet
Education and Psychological Studies
The authors discuss how deep integration shaped their interdisciplinary collaboration and the creation of their STRIVE-4 Model of traits to guide their own and possibly others' empirical research on virtue. As they note, the criterion of psychological realism was a constant influence on their theorizing, and was especially evident in the incorporation of the ideas that virtue traits (1) come in degrees (i.e., they are scalar), (2) are role-sensitive, and (3) interact with situational factors. They conclude that virtue research has been fruitful in ways that are not possible when working with the resources of either philosophy or psychology independently, and that conceptual and empirical results have added depth and nuance to the field that builds on decades of scholarship in both disciplines.

Leo's World – Page 2 – Riding this strange torpedo all the way to the end!
I lost my grandmother this month. She succumbed to cancer on July 19. She was 89 years old, just a few months shy of her 90th birthday. Though logically I realize that the longer she held on the more pain she would be in, I am saddened by her death.
I am a very analytical person. Therefore, I have been thinking about things. My cousin made a speech about my grandmother at the funeral. Listening to him reminded me of some things that I take for granted now without even thinking about.
My cousin talked about how nobody ever went into her house through the front door. Everybody knew to come in through the side door that led to the kitchen. When we heard a knock on the front door we knew that someone was visiting from somewhere else. There were no strangers at my grandmother's house, only visitors.
My grandmother welcomed everybody. One of the first thing she always did was to ask if you were hungry. Didn't matter who you were or where you came from, she would try to feed you. And my cousin also reminded me that my grandmother welcomed anyone when they needed a place to stay.
He reminded me that she could be pretty tough at times. If you did something wrong, she was quick to scold you or spank you depending on the severity of the wrong. She was always a tough woman.
My grandmother survived many tragedies during her lifetime. None of these tragedies ever seemed to slow her down or change her ways. She was always the same loving and welcoming person no matter what was going on in her life.
I guess the biggest lesson I can take from my grandmother's life is that it is possible to be tough and loving at the same time. There is no contradiction between these terms. My grandmother was always tough with us. She never babied us. But never in my life did I ever doubt her love.
This is my first attempt at podcasting. Don't be too harsh, I am still learning. Comments, critiques, and concerns are welcome.
I have seen the news about an off-duty Los Angeles Police Department Officer firing a shot from his firearm while confronting a group of teenagers near his home. I watched 2 different versions of a video that documented; one that ended as the officer pulls out his firearm and fires, and one that continues after the shot and shows the scattering of the crowd; they both appear to be from the same source though one is edited to achieve a particular reaction. I observed a couple of things about this event, some from the video itself, but mostly from the reactions of the people who watched the video on social media.
Both of the videos I saw started after the altercation started. I noticed that the officer was seemingly surrounded by hostile teens and what seemed to be a large number of watching bystanders. Neither version shows how the altercation started. When the videos start they both show a teenager being manhandled by an adult male.
I am unaware of there being any sound attached to the video. I remember only the video of what happened. An obviously exasperated adult, surrounded by hostile teens, is trying to gain control of a situation that he clearly has no control over. His actions are predictable. He is reacting to hostility with hostility.
The actions of the surrounding teens, seeing one of their own being assaulted by an adult, are also predictable. Several teens tried to pull the teen being manhandled away from the adult. I saw the adult punched solidly at least once. They too were reacting to hostility with hostility.
What I was unable to tell from the video was whether the adult was a police officer. There was nothing I could see that showed whether the teens knew this was a police officer or not. I wouldn't be surprised if he were announcing that fact to the teens. However, given the circumstances, seeing their peer being manhandled by an adult, I will not pretend that the teens were obligated to believe a man who has his hands on one of them.
I suppose the reactions were what shocked me the most. I presumably watched the same video that others were watching, but I did not react the same way. I saw people assigning blame to one party or another. Ascribing guilt and motive to either side from the same basis of information. The kids must have been doing something wrong. The cop is a monster who can only communicate with his gun.
I don't know how it started. I don't know who started it. I saw bad behavior on both sides. That teenagers lack impulse control hardly needs to be stated; this does lead to bad behavior. Without the full context, however, it is hard to blame the teenagers for the way they acted.
The police officer could also be held blameless for feeling the hostility being hurled at him. However, I would expect that the police officer should have some tools to help him deescalate these situations. His manhandling of a teenager is what caused the problem. I cannot say that he was not within his rights as a citizen and a peace officer because I do not know what really happened. What I did see was someone who looked like a civilian pull out a gun and fire it to scare off a bunch of teenagers.
As a specialist in conflict resolution I am not trying to assign blame. What happened was the result of poor decision making on both sides of the confrontation. It does not surprise me that a large group of teenagers might lack the skills necessary to deal with conflict, though it is saddening. What shocks me is that a police officer, a person who presumably deals with people and conflicts on a daily basis, also lacked those skills.
I was very young when I first heard the word Chicano. I asked my mother what the word meant and she explained it as a term for militants. Apparently this explanation was sufficient because I didn't question it even though I was far too young to understand what a militant is.
It did not come until several years later when I was a teenager in high school. That was then when I first read Hunter S. Thompson's book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream. The book is a recounting of a drug addled weekend Thompson spent in Las Vegas with his attorney Dr. Gonzo. I was fascinated by this book and wanted to learn everything I could about it.
One thing I did learn was that Dr. Gonzo was a stand-in for Oscar Z. Acosta, a Los Angeles based civil rights attorney who was investigating the death of journalist Ruben Salazar with Thompson. Then I read Acosta's books Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo and The Revolt of the Cockroach People. These books introduced me to Chicano activism without necessarily motivating me to involve myself in that activism.
I then joined the army where I went into a militaristic phase and forgot all about the idea of Chicano activism. The idea of activism did come back to me after I left the service. This next phase of interest was more encompassing. I read Rodolfo Acuna's Occupied America: A History of Chicanos, though instead of going deeper into the Chicano literature I turned to books like Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States. I read authors like Victor Villasenor, Ilan Stavans, and Luis Rodriguez, but I was also fascinated by the work of Joseph Campbell and the translations of Thomas Cleary.
When my eldest daughter Annette was born I became more pragmatic (I did read William James). Activism was then more of an interest than an activity. I again forgot about the idea of the Chicano for many years. Then, while I was in grad school, I learned about identity theory. Identity politics plays a very definite role in identity theory. Though I did not yet apply identity theory to the idea of being a Chicano, those theories were available to me when the Chicano concept came back to me.
After I earned my master's degree I took some Chicano studies classes at East Los Angeles College. I was looking to learn enough to generalize my graduate thesis to Hispanic, mainly Mexican, communities. I found something that was not quite what I was looking for.
I found that many of the young people I encountered were trying to establish their own identity. Though I am not sure that they saw what they were doing this way, I recognized it because of my studies of identity theory. They were attending these classes to get a degree in order earn themselves a better income and position in life. They are also, generally speaking, still trying to learn how to learn. I saw a lot of my younger self in those faces. I found much I could identify with in their yearning to better themselves.
I have since learned that Chicano identity is not simply tied to demographics. Technically speaking, as the American born child of American born parents of Mexican descent, I am by definition a Chicano. However, the adoption of a Chicano identity also relates to political militantism as my mother described to me.
I learned from these classes is that I am a Chicano regardless of whether I claim it as my identity or not. I grew up not interested in claiming Chicano as a factor in my identity; that I am Mexican has always been sufficient to explain my origins to anybody who had an interest. The truth is that I am not really a Mexican except, perhaps, in an atavistic sense.
I am an American citizen. I watched American TV growing up. I listened to the Beatles and The Rolling Stones and heavy metal music growing up. I loved Star Wars and Indiana Jones. I served in the US Army.
Physiognomy, however, betrays my fundamental Americanness, at least in the context of United States citizenship. My brown skin invites the question, "Where are you from?" In certain circumstances my command of the English language draws confusion and inquires into how I learned to speak so well. Some people are incredulous when I detail my educational accomplishments. I have never really been the type of person who can abide this kind of contempt. I fight back.
This is where the identity politics comes into play. The color of my skin, my belligerent nature, my interest in politics, and my education all suggest that in American (US) society I do not know my place. That I participate in politics and can stand up for myself when necessary mark me as a militant. I never thought so, I just thought I was exercising my rights as a citizen.
I do know I am stepping out of my place because I have been told so by political rivals. I have been told what is appropriate to discuss and what is inappropriate to civil political discourse. What amuses me about these conversations is that my heritage, that which makes me what I am, is always inappropriate to civil discourse. I have been told time after time that we do not have race or class in the United States. To bring these issues up makes me sound like a militant. Even without trying, it seems that I am a Chicano.
My dislike of Donald Trump is no secret. I have been openly railing against him for over a year and a half. I have disliked him far longer, though I cannot recall the origins of my spite for him.
So yesterday this buffoon was elected President of the United States. His running mate is a blithering right-wing moron. In my estimation, maybe the best thing that happens is Trump goes down in infamy (which seems likely) and Pence runs the country over the next four years.
In either case, whether Trump continues to rule or Pence does so in his stead, they got to this office because of their overtly racist attitudes. I will not make any claim that they won the election despite their racism because I am not an apologist for the system; I am a political pragmatist and it is my job to view the political system in the light of reality and acknowledge its ugliness when I see it.
Trump has attacked many constituencies: the disabled, African-Americans, and women come immediately to mind. I am sure there are more that I can speak to, but my big concern is his attacks on Mexicans and Americans of Mexican descent. This is not to imply that I think Mexican identity is more important than anything else, though I have no trouble admitting this concern comes down to self-interest. I am an American citizen of Mexican descent.
Trump began his campaign by villainizing Mexican immigrants. Though his rhetoric has since grown to encompass immigrants in general, he started out specifically targeting Mexicans. When Scott and Steve Leader assaulted a homeless Hispanic man in Boston on August 19, 2015, Trump stated "the people that are following me are very passionate." He later issued a perfunctory disavowal of the incident on Twitter (21 August 2015).
Trump's attacks on Judge Gonzalo Curiel earlier this year are what I find most repulsive. In his statements Trump implied that Curiel's heritage (born in Indiana to Mexican immigrant parents) made him unqualified to be a judge. Trump actually stated that dispite Curiel's "Spanish" and "Hispanic" heritage he had not asked the judge to be recused.
The promise to "Make America Great Again" means what? It harkens to the days when minority populations in the United States were second class citizens.When minorities were attacked and beaten by groups of white men and then arrested for disturbing the peace. The rhetoric against immigrants, Mexicans, African-Americans, has energized the overly racist thorughout the nation.
At this point we can only wait and see what happens next. I will pour my energy into making sure that any attempts to remake second class citizenship are met with stiff and effective resistance. I want to make one particular point explicit: do not think your citizenship or ideological perspective will save you from the racism that Trump and his cronies promote. White supremacy means that if you are not white, you belong to the underclass.
I like writing. I suppose that one must write occasionally to become a successful writer. For my part I have not been writing on any of my blogs for a long time now. Part of this can be attributed to laziness, part of it to life getting in the way of things, and the largest part to thinking about what I want to do with my life and my writing. I still do not have a definitive answer to what I want to do with my life. However, I do know about a few things I am interested in pursuing. Writing is one of those things.
I have this blog, Leo's World, that I will use to comment on things generally. My views on conflict resolution and public policy will greatly influence the things I write about. I suppose my love of movies will play a part as well, though I have not been to a theater to watch a movie in a very long time; there is very little that interests me in the theaters these days. That still leaves DVDs, or Blue Ray discs. I guess we will all see what interests me at any given moment. I also have my other blogs, The Digital Guerrilla Project, The NCR 594 Project, and my Photoblog. I will be attempting to add to each of those over the next many years.
The point of this is to get into the habit of writing. Hopefully I will write things that people like, though I do not mind if they don't like it. Indifference is what I would like to avoid. Wish me luck.
I have been thinking about how I got to this point. I discovered the idea of information asymmetries while I was working on my blog The Digital Guerrilla Project. I thought it was a perfect way to describe the situations I was trying to write about: where one party is able to take advantage of another party due to a lack of information on the part of the latter party. This worked for a while.
Then I started working on a master's degree. There I discovered structural violence, which is a system with information asymmetries built in so as to protect a particular interest. The study of structural violence worked out for me because it is in line with my idea that I would like to help people learn how to overcome power asymmetries and, as I later found out, structural violence as well.
As it stands, this is a thoroughly academic interest as far as I know. When I say academic interest I do not mean to imply that there is much interest in my chosen subjects in academia; I mean only to say that there seems to be zero interest in these subjects outside of academia as far as I know. I am studying obscure subjects hoping to unlock some secret that might help someone overcome power asymmetries and structural violence, or in other terms, oppressive and/or dictatorial powers. I feel very much like I am alone in this interest, but not really sure about that solitude either.
I know the work I do has academic merit. One of these days I will get published. Later, I will be used as a reference in the work of some other academic, and we will all be able to pat each other on the back. This is not my interest, however.
I want to write something that will inspire people to fight back, overcome, change the world. I want to write something that people can use to get them through tough times, to make decisions that help them toward their goals. I do not want to write some self-help crap urging people to believe in themselves, I want to write the self-help book that urges people to stand up and fight for themselves. It doesn't seem like too much to ask for, does it?
The point of all this is that I think I finally see a way forward that could be useful to people outside of the world of academia. I am trying to figure out how to make it come together in a coherent fashion. I am enthusiastic about the possibilities, in a way that I haven't been before.

The predilection to stereotype and label people by blaming the conduct of one person on an entire group he or she belongs (age, class, religion or ethnicity) is for me the central message in Tunde Kelani's movie, 'Magun' (Thunderbolt). It speaks to a time like this in our nation when some Yoruba and Igbo irredentists are promoting hate speech in the name of a meaningless superiority war that glorifies some distorted accounts of the past.
The cast of the movie, written by Professor Akinwunmi Isola, included seasoned professionals like Adebayo Faleti, Bukky Ajayi, Uche Obi-Osotule, Lanre Balogun, Wale Macauley, Ngozi Nwosu and the Dr. Larinde Akinleye. The story is woven around Ngozi, (played by Uche, one of Nigeria's most adored actresses who for some inexplicable reasons, doesn't feature much in Nollywood) and Yinka (played by Lanre Balogun). The duo met and fell in love at the NYSC orientation camp.
With the insinuation that an Igbo woman could not be trusted and feeling rather insecure and jealous—notwithstanding the fact that he actually met his wife a virgin—Yinka eventually sought the diabolical power of 'Magun', the mysterious chastity control which instantly terminates the life of any man who dares to 'climb' a straying wife. The snag though is that if the woman played no 'away game' within a specified period while still being laced with 'Magun', she stood the risk of death. Being a faithful wife, it was Ngozi's life that was in danger in the movie.
'Magun' is fatal and remedies are rare and often not foolproof. So the efforts to break its life-threatening effect on Ngozi provided the entertainment and the drama of existence captured in the movie. But in the final analysis, Ngozi's redemption came from the family of her irresponsible Yoruba husband, the Yoruba native doctors, her local Yoruba guardian and finally the love-struck Yoruba medical doctor who offered himself as a guinea pig to test the efficacy of 'Magun' on the altar of a five-minute enjoyment. He was lucky to survive with an experience he would never forget!
When her tribulation was over and she was confronted with the prospect of another Yorubaman as suitor, Ngozi, quite naturally, was hesitant but her father, who started out as a Yoruba antagonist, saved the day by advising her to follow her heart. He said it would be wrong to blame a whole ethnic group for the misconduct of one man, before giving us that memorable line: "A man is a man; and a race is a race".
Eventually, sanity prevailed but the madness resurfaced after the 2015 presidential election. With the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan who was heavily backed by South-east voters and the public declaration by President Muhammadu Buhari that the distribution of opportunities would be according to the number of votes he got in each region, there was always going to be trouble. Then came Nnamdi Kanu who, as I said on Monday, was "egged on by the mob, comprising mostly okada riders with online support from several of his kinsmen in the Diaspora" and was "allowed to take hate speech to an unprecedented level, even by the standards of our country".
Before I go further, let me commend the Senior Pastor of the Covenant Christian Centre, Pastor Poju Oyemade for his vision in bringing critical stakeholders together every year on the anniversary of our independence so that we can share our fears and aspirations while provoking national engagements for the peace and progress of our country. Every year, people look forward to 'The Platform' where I was privileged to speak for a record sixth time on Monday. Meanwhile, some sympathisers of the so-called Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), who were evidently not happy with my presentation, have asked me to explain what I meant by saying Kanu is spreading hate speech.
Hate speech, as I understand it, is any verbal or written statements deliberately meant to offend, insult, intimidate or threaten a person or group of individuals based on ethnicity, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation etc. In case that sounds a bit vague let me try to be more direct. Basically, if I say 'I hate this Yoruba man because he is a thief' that does not qualify as hate speech but if I say 'because this Yoruba man is a thief all Yoruba people are thieves', then I am on a slippery slope. That is the kind of things Kanu has been saying about non-Igbo Nigerians. For instance, when Kanu says "anybody attending a Pentecostal church with a Yoruba pastor is an idiot, a complete fool and an imbecile" before adding, "if your pastor is Yoruba, you are not fit to be a human being" or "Pastor Kumuyi should be stoned and dealt with thoroughly if he comes to Aba for his planned crusade", am I expected to clap for him?
Whatever may be the disposition of anybody to this government, it was bad politics to have allowed Kanu to run riot the way he did, saying unprintable things about several people, including the president. So, when some grandfathers under the aegis of Arewa Youth issued an ultimatum for Igbo people in the North to quit the region, it was obvious that they were responding to the fact that Kanu was allowed to abuse, malign and threaten other Nigerians without anybody in the South-east restraining him.
I read with dismay President Buhari's independence message where he premised the recent calls for secession to be based on calls for restructuring. Unfortunately, Nigeria is missing another opportunity to truly evolve into a nation by refusing to answer the Biafra question sincerely; not by brute force but by serious engagement, with a genuine intention to repair and reconcile.
To be clear, I am not in favour of Nnamdi Kanu's method or message but any objective observer cannot deny identifying with his sentiments on the place of the Igbo in Nigeria. For perspective, the US after their bloody civil war engaged in deliberate healing which included accurate history of events regardless of who would be portrayed as the villains and heroes especially since the events leading to the civil war pertained to slavery. Regardless of their intentional efforts, the flashpoints of the civil war still remain as we have seen recently with the controversies surrounding the confederate monuments that defined that era. We are talking about resurrecting an event that occurred over 150 years ago!
Last month, Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, stood before the UN general assembly, not to advertise Canada to the world or promote her contribution to international fights against terrorism or humanitarian crisis but rather to apologize for the ill-treatment meted out to the indigenous people when the Europeans first arrived Canada. Trudeau apologized for an event that occurred over 150 years ago because the hurt is still being felt among the indigenous population and has always haunted the country since. Germany only healed from the World War II because of deliberate efforts at reconciliation and reconstruction but even at that, we are seeing a gradual resurgence of such sentiments from the results of the last parliamentary elections. The agitation of the Scottish people from the larger UK is rooted in hundreds of years of acrimony between both peoples.
Therefore, the premise that the hurt from the Nigerian civil war will dissipate with time is simply childish and whoever subscribes to that idea has failed to learn from history – our own history and the history from elsewhere. The civil war is only 50 years old and we somehow expect the emotions from it to be overtaken by events without any deliberate efforts to address both the factors that led to the war and the fall-outs thereof. And it is most expedient for Nigeria to confront this monster because there seems to be no unbiased documentation of that dark history.
Unfortunately, the history will still be passed on from generation to generation with the added consequence that such oral transmission will be mixed with emotions on both sides thereby deepening the hurt. Little wonder, unarmed IPOB members, most of who did not witness the war will stand and confront armed military men during the last Operation Python Dance. That many Igbos have moved on to establish businesses and residences across the country does not negate the emotional hurt they still carry.
While it seems more convenient and lazy to ignore this past and pretend it did not happen, the consequences will be greater for future generations to handle. The blanket statements and ideological underpinning of non-negotiable Nigeria may ultimately result to her implosion. Therefore, it is incumbent on Nigeria to summon the courage to sincerely heal this hurt and build a nation from there. Incidentally, genuine truth and reconciliation does not necessarily equate to secession or even confederation as the authorities seem to equate; that is just shallow reasoning. When genuine efforts are made, it will be surprising that what is needed to bind Nigeria together may be very simple after all.
Dear Bright, thanks for your mail. In as much as I do not want to discuss President Buhari because I hold him partly responsible for this problem by not rallying the nation together after he was elected, I must also point out that I am worried about the damage Nnamdi Kanu has done to the Igbo cause within a multi-ethnic Nigeria and the fact that many Igbo people do not see it. If you notice, you will realise that the Igbos are practically carrying their cross alone at this period without much sympathy from the rest of Nigeria, save for a few opposition politicians in the South-west and South-south who are using him (Kanu) as a proxy to fight President Buhari. Talk about an enemy's enemy being a friend!
The answer is simple: Many people have the tapes of what Kanu has said about other ethnic groups so you can easily situate their resentment against him and those they consider his enablers. For instance, I have watched several of Kanu's videos because I know those who have the collections and I cringe at the kind of bitterness and hate spewing from the mouth of the young man. He abuses, maligns, curses and threatens Yoruba and Hausa people as well as their leaders. And when I see Igbo people following and hailing such a person, how do you think I would feel?
Even if Kanu hates Yoruba and other ethnic groups, he ought to understand that he cannot fight everybody at once. But in his folly, that is what he tried to do. And with that, especially when he was being hailed by those who should call him to order, he brought resentment against his kinsmen from other Nigerians who feel injured by his violent outbursts and hate rhetoric. And that is why many people, including those sympathetic to the Igbo cause, also do not want to hear any talk about Biafra or IPOB, especially if what it means is to demonise them and their leaders.
Believe me, I speak to a lot of people across a broad spectrum of the Nigerian society, including those who may appear quiet, so I know what I am saying. Kanu is damaging, not promoting, the Igbo cause, regardless of the anger that may make some people to think otherwise, and I say that with every sense of responsibility.
I have always fought the Igbo cause not only because, for some inexplicable reasons, some of my closest friends as well as mentors (professional and spiritual) happen to be Igbo, but also because I can see the injustice, especially in the distribution of opportunities by this administration. But when I see respected Igbo people venerating Nnamdi Kanu not only do I get offended, I take it as an endorsement of his hatred against other Nigerians, including Yoruba people of which I am one.
Thanks for the reply and for your perspective. You are right about how Nnamdi Kanu's comments have affected the mood of other ethnic groups and based on his actions and utterances, we may be tempted to 'leave him to his fate'. However, I have since adopted Michelle Obama's catchphrase, "when they go low, we go high". I think Nigeria should rise above Nnamdi Kanu's irresponsibility and provide leadership for the future of her country. Besides, Nnamdi Kanu only tapped into a hidden sentiment that has not healed.
Before him, there was Ralph Uwazurike and his MASSOB movement and government's intimidation and arrests of his members didn't erase the sentiments. Nnamdi Kanu came with a different approach, a disgusting approach I must confess, but an approach nonetheless and tapped into that sentiment. We may spend a lot of time trying to analyze all the factors that led to his successful mobilization of such a huge following but that is a topic for another day. In a nutshell, I think his success at mobilizing supporters is a consequence of government's immediate and progressive failure over the years in properly educating her citizens beyond paper qualifications and ability to read and write. Similar argument can be made on why USA elected Donald Trump and why Zimbabwe is comfortable with Robert Mugabe despite a so called 97% literacy level.
My fear is that after Nnamdi Kanu, someone else will rise. It is not a matter of 'if' but 'when'. When such person arises, s/he will tap into the hidden sentiments again and mobilize supporters. Therein lies the problem. We have seen how advances in technology helped fuel the crumbling of the dictatorships in Algeria, Egypt and Libya. We have also recently seen the sonic attacks in Cuba. We do not know which direction technology is going years from now and it is scary to imagine that a future Kanu might have access to technology that can cause serious damage to Nigeria should s/he go that route.
The direction of spending of the US military indicates there is a gradual shift away from brick and mortar type of warfare. In that regard, Nigeria is not future-proofing herself by addressing the most uncomfortable but necessary questions now, but is rather delaying the seeds of discord to a future date. That is my worry and that is why standing aloof and watch Kanu implode is not very helpful to Nigeria's future. This is compounded by the fact that we seem not to care about objective and accurate accounts of events, which is was why I was happy you documented the 2015 presidential election into a book.
I remember raising this same concern with you when President Buhari's biography was published and the half-truths therein. Lack of accurate account of event promotes room for distortion with an emotional slant. That I believe is what gave IPOB supporters the conviction to stand up to armed military and the Arewa Youths the conviction to issue quit notice. These are people who most likely did not witness the civil war but can recount it based on the emotions that came along with what they were told. The history of the civil war is still being passed on but from an emotional stand point on both sides and that is driving the wedge even further. By delaying a sincere and genuine truth and reconciliation, Nigeria may inadvertently be preparing for her demise.
NOTE: This conversation shall continue.
Your presentation at this year's edition of 'The Platform' was, http://wp.me/p7LdSh-z0R, as usual, engaging and very insightful. However, I think you misunderstood the point raised by the Health Minister, Professor Isaac Adewole, regarding the disparity in the number of doctors working at the Federal Medical centre, Zamfara compared to those in the employment of the state government. Unfortunately, you cited it as an example of some of the maladies of Nigerian state and I believe you misled your audience. Please permit me to elaborate.
120 medical doctors working in the ONLY tertiary hospital serving a population of about three million people is grossly INADEQUATE. A modest number should be 300. I should know because I work in the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe. Until the last two years or so, it was also a medical centre like that of Zamfara. For any given population in the underdeveloped world, 5% will have a health challenge at any point in time thus needing a physician's attention and about 10% of that number will require specialist care. That comes to about 15,000 people in Zamfara needing specialist care at any point in time. Now, how is it humanly possible for these 120 doctors to provide such care? And remember, these 120 are not all specialists.
Just in case you do not know, the mandate of tertiary hospitals is to provide healthcare, train new medical personnel and engage in research. So a typical unit in the Federal Medical Centre you mentioned OUGHT to have at least two consultants, a few residents, perhaps six to 10 at various levels of specialist training, and about three house officers undergoing internship. That gives you a minimum of nine doctors in a unit. This is the minimum number and I am dead sure it is not being met.
Meanwhile, Tertiary hospitals are made up of five major departments and each, give or take, will comprise of several sub specialties and may have several units. For example, in Surgery, there must be: Orthopaedics, General Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Paediatric Surgery, ENT, Ophthalmology and others while in Medicine, you have Neurology, Respiratory, Gastroenterology, Cardiology, Endocrinology, Dermatology, Nephrology and many more.
Now, you must understand that these are just two departments. Therefore, if we assume that each of these sub specialities has two units (they usually have more) with the minimum number of nine, it means that these units will require 81 doctors. You can see that the 120 doctors are not enough since I have not elaborated on the other three (Obsterics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics and Laboratory Medicine) that a single tertiary hospital catering for a population as large as Zamfara State ought to have.
I do not want to believe you were quoting Professor Adewole when you said these doctors were idle. Having spent much of his professional life practising in a tertiary hospital, I find it hard to believe he would say that since he knows the set-up of such hospitals. That must be your assumption, given your limited knowledge of the field of medicine. What the minister was drawing the attention of the state government to was the fact that they needed to employ more doctors. Why would the Federal Government with a single hospital in the state employ 120 doctors while the state government, with 24 hospitals, have only 23 doctors? That I believe was his point.
A situation where 23 doctors were manning 24 general hospitals should indeed worry all of us. Only God can save the patients accessing healthcare in such hospitals. It will be a harvest of unnecessary deaths and complications that are all avoidable. Segun, how can a single doctor man a general hospital day and night, 24/7, 365 days of the year? Such a doctor, who is not a magician, will definitely not save many lives and may in fact take some, through negligence that comes with overwork.
As I said, your presentation at Platform was spot on except for the inference to the number of federal medical doctors in Zamfara. I believe it is an entirely different issue if you want to raise the impropriety or otherwise of the Federal Government running such hospitals in the larger debate about the need to reorganize this country. But the fact is, as things stand today, the 120 doctors running that health institution compared to the 24 of the state government has nothing to do with the larger wallet of the Federal Government. Well, at least not in the sense you alluded to it. Like I pointed out earlier, that number is insufficient.
The disparity in the number of doctors working in Federal health institutions and those in the State Governments is what obtains in a significant majority of states in Nigeria but it is particularly worse in the north. The State Governments have all abdicated their responsibility in providing health care to the centre, and as we all know, the tertiary hospitals have become overburdened and cannot cope (like Zamfara even with their 120 federal doctors).
The pertinent question here is: Why is this so? It is so because these Governors simply do not care and would rather appoint hundreds of special advisers and assistants and pay them salaries and allowances in the hundreds of thousands for doing practically nothing. A fraction of what they pay these so called advisers and assistants is more than enough to pay the salaries of enough doctors to man their hospitals. Let me also draw your attention to the fact that even if the Zamfara State government has 300 doctors in its employment, the 120 in the tertiary hospital will still be insufficient. Remember, the health institutions in the state are secondary health institutions and are not equipped to do the task of tertiary hospitals.
Have you or anyone you know ever sought for an appointment to see a specialist in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria? If yes, I do not need to tell you how long you probably have to wait if you follow due process, without anyone pushing you up the appointment list of course. This delay is occasioned primarily (I admit there is the typical "Nigerian attitude" contributing) by insufficient numbers of doctors in the health institutions. Therefore, the malaise afflicting our health sector, like every other sector in this country, are very challenging indeed.

You may have noticed that I'm basically alone in trying to moderate this forum. This is a very low volume forum so you wouldn't think that it's a problem, however, I get hundreds of notifications from spammers daily that clog up much of my view of the forum. Luckily, the measures Ironman put in place keep you from seeing them all. As a result, I may miss important messages so if you see something that needs my attention, please PM me.
Also, any post with a generic title like "Help Me" or some other unhelpful title will be assumed to be a troll and deleted. Please don't respond to any you see. There seems to be a lot of these lately. It can't be a coincidence.

Virginian station restoration on track for completion in 2013
Published October 8, 2012 | By Evan Jones
The first big step in restoring the former Virginian Railway station is now complete, and plans call for the work to be completed sometime next year. Phase one involved stabilizing the century-old building that was heavily damaged by fire in 2001 and replacing its roof. The second phase will restore the station building's interior. WFIR's Evan Jones has the latest.

Game ten of the World Chess Championship Match between Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana ended in another draw. This does not sound like big news. Yet, it was one of the most exciting games of the match so far.
Fabiano Caruana, playing White, went for the Open Sicilian again and tried to prove an edge against Magnus' Svshenikov Sicilian (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e5).
In round eight, Fabiano already came up with a rather new and fashionable idea to play with White. This time, he was again superbly prepared. He repeated the opening from game eight until move 11 and then came up with the novelty 12.b4 (see the diagram on the left).
Magnus was the first player to have a deep think and countered Fabiano's idea with very dynamic play. As in game eight, the position soon became very double-edged. Whilst Fabiano had a huge initiative on the queenside, Magnus launched a very threatening kingside attack.
The position was far too complicated to give a definite evaluation. While the engines claimed that the position was dynamically balanced, any move could have decided the game in the one or the other direction. Hence, both players had to play accurately.
Fabiano defended well against Magnus' kingside attack but also lost his huge initiative on the queenside. Finally, in the late middlegame, queens were exchanged and the players entered an unbalanced but objectively equal rook endgame.
Just like in round two, Fabiano emerged with an extra pawn (3 vs. 2 pawns on one wing), but soon agreed to a draw.
Game eleven of the World Chess Championship Match between Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana ended in another draw.
Magnus, playing White, went for 1.e4, but was again surprised by a line which Fabiano chose in the Petroff Defense. Hence, the World Champion did not go for the most critical lines in the game and played a lot more safely.
With his very precise and accurate play, Fabiano had little problems to secure the draw with the Black pieces.
With eleven out of twelve classical games played, it can be clearly stated that Fabiano Caruana and his team had the upper hand in the opening preparation so far. In all his six games with White, Magnus did not manage to put real pressure on Fabiano. Fabiano, in contrast, got several promising position with White so far out of the opening. Yet, he did not manage to convert them.
This already brings us to the last classical game of the match which will be played on Monday. Fabiano has the White pieces and thus the chance to go for a fight. As Fabiano was very consistent with the White pieces so far, we'll very likely see him playing 1.e4 again.
Yet, it will be highly interesting to see what Magnus will play. If he goes for the Sicilian Defense again, Fabiano will definitely have a chance to go for a complicated struggle in the opening. If Magnus changes his opening in the last round in order to avoid Fabiano's preparation, he goes a huge risk of running into another line which Fabiano prepared for the match.
Round twelve starts on Thursday. Fabiano will have the White pieces this time. With only one round remaining, the pressure will be extremely high for both players.

That's the sentence that appears under the link to Johnston's website that a friend posted on Facebook Sunday afternoon, announcing the death of feminist icon and American writer, Jill Johnston. It's the kind of thing Johnston might have written herself, and I imagine she is amused—deeply, highly, and now celestially amused.
I pointed to her feet.
"There's a photograph of Jill Johnston wearing boots just like that," I said.
Seven years later, I met Jane at Anne's funeral, and we got to laughing about the days that became known as the Sexual Revolution, a term probably coined by Time magazine.
Then Jane told me that a publisher had once approached Jill to write a book about those years, the 60s and 70s, in New York, but Jill had lost interest. She was on to something else and asked Jane if she would write it for her.
Besides, the revolution was over.
My friend Kris introduced me to Jill Johnston's column in The Village Voice in the 70s. We were students at Webster College outside St. Louis. Sometimes we couldn't even get it out of the bookstore. She'd start reading it out loud, and we'd have to sit down on the floor and finish it—laughing and in awe. With titles like "The Genius I've Squandered in Bed," "R.D. Laing: The Misteek of Sighcosis," and "Tender Gluttons," her column was an event in our lives. Food for thought dropped by helicopters into a cultural famine. She was an ally. A big sister. A real sheroe, as Kris put it.
I bought a copy of Johnston's Gullible's Travels, a selection of her columns, before I left to teach in France in 1975, and I carried it with me for two and a half years all through Europe—dog-eared, coffee-stained, with tiny black burns on some of the pages where bits of burning tobacco had landed. Well read. Well loved.
Feisty, irreverent, difficult, incomprehensible, surreal, as one critic put it, she was "part Gertrude Stein, part E. E. Cummings, with a dash of Jack Kerouac thrown for good measure."

Power outages, network issues, human error, and natural disasters can all contribute to system downtime. To minimize the impact of any disruption, VMware delivers a comprehensive, integrated portfolio of business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) solutions. VMware BC/DR solutions increase the availability of your workloads and your data, and, in case your primary data center fails, replicate your data to a secondary site and orchestrate recovery quickly and reliably.
VMware solutions for business continuity and disaster recovery can protect you from planned and unplanned downtime simply and affordably.
VMware Site Recovery offers efficient, simple, and on-demand site protection for VMware Cloud on AWS.
What are the Benefits of a Robust BC/DR Solution?
It's natural for hardware to fail. A robust BC/DR solution ensures your applications continue to run even if the hardware fails.
Data replication and frequent, non-disruptive testing ensure your systems are protected even in case of a disaster.
Automation, familiar tools, and efficient infrastructure help reduce spending without compromising protection.
VMware offers a broad spectrum of products and services that help you protect your vSphere environment.
With VMware vSphere vMotion and Storage vMotion, you can move workloads, without disruption, across the data center to perform the maintenance necessary to maximize the life of your hardware.
VMware vSphere High Availability reduces application downtime by automatically restarting VMs on available servers upon detecting application, guest operating system, or server hardware failures.
VMware vSphere Fault Tolerance provides continuous availability for applications in the event of a server failure by creating a live shadow instance of a VM that is in lockstep with the primary instance. Should any failure happen, then the shadow instance seamlessly takes over where the primary instance left off.
vSAN Stretched Clusters synchronously replicates data across geographically distinct sites, so that applications will not be affected, even if one site fails.
VMware vSphere Replication is an asynchronous replication solution that copies data from users' primary site to secondary sites. It is fully integrated in the hypervisor, enabling customers to protect VMs regardless of the underlying storage solution, with an RPO ranging from 5 minutes to 24 hours. vSphere supports a wide range of storage array-based replication for maximum choice and flexibility.
VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) automates and orchestrates the failover process to a secondary site, in case your main site fails. Using recovery plans, SRM enables you to decide the sequence in which VMs power up, and to set up relevant network and storage properties. SRM also supports non-disruptive testing and detailed reporting, to help ensure your protection plans meet your targets, and to meet DR compliance requirements.
VMware Site Recovery offers disaster recovery as-a-service (DRaaS) for VMware Cloud on AWS. VMware Site Recovery delivers on-demand protection with all the benefits of vSphere Replication and SRM, including non-disruptive testing and reporting, without the need to maintain a secondary data center.


Rana stresses on storytelling ability rooted in Indian culture..
Hyderabad, Dec 6 (IANS) Actor Rana Daggubati, whose "Baahubali" redefined Indian cinema in many ways, says there is value in building a franchise out of a movie nowadays.
The "Baahubali" universe has been expanded with comics and video games.

Official Says Russia Already Has Black List For U.S. Citizens
Aleksei Pushkov, head of the Foreign Affairs Committee in Russia's State Duma
The head of the Foreign Affairs Committee in Russia's lower house of parliament, the State Duma, said on December 7 his country already has a "black list" of U.S. citizens who would be denied entry into Russia.
Speaking one day after the U.S. Senate passed the Magnitsky Act that would impose targeted sanctions on Russian officials who violate human rights, Aleksei Pushkov said Russia's Foreign Ministry has already compiled a list of U.S. citizens who, "in our opinion," are guilty of violations of human rights and will not be allowed in Russia.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said earlier on December 7 that Russia planned to deny visas to U.S. officials who violate human rights.

In addition to a health care power of attorney, one may also execute a financial or general power of attorney, which may be combined with or executed separately from the health care power.
Powers of attorney (both general and health care), executed while the adult is mentally competent, often allow for the conduct of all business and personal affairs of the adult once incapacitated without the necessity of guardianship.
However, in the event a guardian of the property is appointed for the principal, the power of attorney is terminated by the entry of the order appointing the guardian.

The story of the Mountain Lodges of Peru
Buying land and building things on it is a fairly surefire recipe for trouble with the locals. Kris Tompkins of the Patagonia Land Trust can tell you all about that. Saying that, even when you're from the area it's not easy. So it was for Enrique Umbert when he decided to build a series of remote lodges in the Salkantay valley of the Peruvian Andes.
A couple of decades ago, when Enrique visited the region he figured that a lot of people would come see it if they were only provided with a higher level of comfort and hospitality. He also had the magnificently ambitious aim of eliminating poverty in Salkantay.
Of course, many locals were suspicious of his motives. The rumours ranged from him building a dam to charge locals for their water to his building a brothel! At the same time, he was fighting Peruvian bureaucracy to get permission for the construction. Through sheer determination, and thick skin, Enrique persevered and the lodges which were built are now a highly successful social and economic project.
Mountain Lodges of Peru consists of a series of six well-appointed lodges on the Salkantay route to Machu Picchu plus two very nice hotels in Cusco - a new lodge is also due to open in Patacancha very soon.
More importantly, the lodges are a big part of the local economy having effectively eradicated poverty in Salkantay. They did this a few ways, first is that they prioritised employment of women thereby ensuring that the money was better distributed. All of the lodges are managed by women. In addition, the lodges source as much produce as they can from women's co-operatives locally. For instance, they taught the local women to make jam and now buy that jam for the lodges.
Enrique and his team also increased wages in the region, much to the delight of his employees and annoyance of other tourism companies. Decent wages are paid to the guides, drivers, cleaners, porters, etc, far higher than was traditionally paid.
But it is certainly not only about women, in fact, anyone and everyone who wanted to work was given a job as part of the Mountain Lodges team. It is for this reason that the project stands as the best example of integration and social responsibility in South America.
Nor is it just about doing good, the lodges combine traditional Inca building techniques and modern creature comforts including hot tubs, down bedding and gourmet food and wines. Nothing really beats arriving after a long day of hiking in the high Andes to find warm welcome, glass of wine and big bed. You even wake up in the morning to find that your boots have been scrubbed!
Next time you plan a trip to Peru, you might like to consider experiencing this unique lodge-to-lodge experience on the way to Machu Picchu, you won't regret it.

A: Post model is missing user_id attribute, at least this is what your error means.
rails g migration add_user_to_posts user:belongs_to
rake db:migrate

You migration file shows you have user id in posts table, but it might be missing in db if you didn't run the migrations.
As a quick fix, if you don't care abou your data in db, I would run:
rake db:reset

Or
rake db:drop db:create db:migrate
