William Lane Craig Interview at Imperial College London
William Lane Craig student television interview
Time : 00:17:35
The student television station at Imperial College London (stoictv.com) conducted an interview with World renowned Philosopher Dr. William Lane Craig who speaks to us about how his interest in Philosophy began, his work on a rational defense of the Christian Faith, and his debates with the world's leading atheists.
STOIC Interviewer: So, Dr. Craig, firstly, thank you very much for coming on to speak to me. We really appreciate you taking the time to come and enrich the Imperial College students.
Dr. Craig: My pleasure.
STOIC Interviewer: I just want to find out a little bit of personal history about yourself, so when did you first become interested in philosophy?
Dr. Craig: I think my interest in philosophy developed during my university years. I took some courses on both Christian theology and then philosophy, and courses in literature as well, that really sparked my interest in questions that were philosophical in nature. What is truth, how do we discover truth, what is the truth of the Christian worldview? It would be during those upper classman years of university study.
STOIC Interviewer: Okay, so was religion always the focus of your philosophy, then?
Dr. Craig: Of my philosophy, yes. It wasn't always the focus of my life. I wasn't raised in a Christian home or even a churchgoing family. But my interest in religious affairs, you might say, preceded my interest in philosophy. I am a philosopher because I'm a Christian. My philosophy flows out of my Christian faith.
STOIC Interviewer: When did you decide that you wanted to make your philosophy and your religion a career that you wanted to pursue?
Dr. Craig: Well, I think this emerged gradually in the course of my university and then post-graduate studies. I saw that these deep philosophical questions needed to be addressed in order to commend the Gospel to thinking men and women today. In an increasingly secular culture, people have questions about the truth of the Christian worldview, and to ignore or turn aside from answering those kind of questions, I think, would be irresponsible. And so, it seemed to me that it was a natural thing to do—to explore the philosophical foundations of and justification for my own Christian faith.
STOIC Interviewer: You're on your UK Tour at the moment. What made you decide to come to the UK and do these kind of talks?
Dr. Craig: Well, you have to understand that I'm an Anglophile. (Laughs) I love this country. When my wife and I married, we honeymooned in London, and we always come back whenever we can. When I did my doctoral work in philosophy, I came to the University of Birmingham, and we lived here, and I did my study here. Since then, we've come back on sabbatical to do research. And so, when we got an invitation to do a university speaking tour in the UK, we jumped at the chance.
STOIC Interviewer: Obviously with the UK it's a more secular society in terms of the percent of people who don't have a religion. Is that evident to you in the way that, perhaps, you're taken in by the public or seen in the public eye? Is there a different reaction you get when you speak in the US than when you speak in the United Kingdom?
Dr. Craig: I don't think that I see this difference, personally, because the people who come to our meetings are very interested. We've been speaking to packed houses. And so, I don't see as much the indifferent, apathetic person who doesn't care about these things. By the very nature of the case, the people who come to hear me speak are interested in it, even if they're sceptical or agnostic or atheistic. So, there's a kind of self-selection that goes on here, and I recognize that in that sense we're not seeing, necessarily, the broader British public, but those who do care about these issues.
STOIC Interviewer: In a recent letter to the Imperial College London, I think you cited seven pieces of rational evidence to lead to the conclusion that the Christian God exists.
Dr. Craig: Yes.
STOIC Interviewer: Why do you think that, to many people who have learned the subjects—people such as Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris who know a lot about the subjects—why do you think that they don't accept these as rational?
Dr. Craig: Yes, now with respect to the two examples you named, with all due respect, I don't think they do know a lot about the subject. I have debated both of these gentlemen in public forums at universities, and Christopher Hitchens' lack of familiarity with the issues is just astonishing. And similarly, with Sam Harris, he was just impotent even to defend his view against criticism.
I think that so often, these folks are so deeply embedded in a kind of secular worldview, and interact so rarely with people from another perspective that they're utterly unaware of the literature. [1] They don't read people like me. They don't participate in conferences with people like me. They don't invite people like me to share the platform with them as I do when I invite them. And so, there really is a tremendous ignorance, I find. Many of these folks, I think, rejected the Christian faith as young people, 11 or 12 years of age, and they've never studied it again since.
Now, having said that, there certainly are many that are philosophically informed and have a different take on the issue, and I would say that a difference of opinion is possible on these deep questions. I have no desire to impugn the rationality of atheists or others who disagree with me. I respectfully disagree with them and I present my arguments and evidence, but then it's up to people to consider them with an open mind and accept or reject them.
STOIC Interviewer: With your rational pieces of evidence that you believe lead to the logical conclusion that God exists, that you've presented at such like the Imperial College lecture, do you believe that there is a place for faith in the Christian belief system? Because from my point of view—seeing that you believe that these are rational conclusions—that would lead to the conclusion that faith is not necessary for the Christian to believe in God. So, how important is faith, and does it have a part in the Christian belief system?
Dr. Craig: I think it absolutely does leave room for faith. In the New Testament, the concept of faith is not a way of knowing something; rather, it's a way of trusting in something, a way of committing yourself to something. So, for example, several years ago, I had corneal surgery on my eyes. Now, as you can imagine, before I let myself go under the knife, we carefully investigated who was the finest corneal surgeon in the United States. And then based on that evidence, I trusted him to cut on my eyes.
Now, similarly, when a person has come to the conclusion that God exists, then the decision of faith arises. Am I going to commit my life, now, to this person and trust him? And so, the evidence can actually bring you to the decision of faith.
STOIC Interviewer: Okay, and with the rational evidence, if it was shown in a hypothetical situation that the evidence could be refuted—say, if your arguments, for example, were refuted to a satisfactory level that you would recognize that they were refuted—would you still have your belief, or would it be a case where it became irrational to believe that?
Dr. Craig: I would still have my belief, because my belief in God is not based on these arguments. These arguments are confirmatory of my belief in God, but my belief in God is not based on the arguments. I think that my faith in God is based on the inner witness of God's spirit to my own heart. I have a personal relationship with him. His spirit lives within me. And while there are good arguments and evidence to confirm that, my faith is not based on that.
I think this is a wonderful thing, because most people in the history of the human race have had neither the time nor the education nor the library resources to investigate the philosophical arguments for God's existence, or the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. And so, they would be condemned to unbelief if this were the only way of knowing God.
But God, I think, in his mercy, has provided a sort of interior way of knowing that he exists, which is open to all persons, everywhere, regardless of their education, their time, or their resources. But, for those of us who have the luxury of leisure time, university education, and fantastic library resources, we have, as it were, a double advocate. In addition to the interior way, we have these exterior arguments that help to support it.
What's also good about this, is that it means, therefore, that I can hold these arguments lightly. If a refutation comes along, I don't have to go to the wall to defend these arguments. I can give them up easily. So, this helps me, actually, to be more objective, rather than less objective, about the validity or soundness of these arguments.
STOIC Interviewer: If you were faced with an atheist, and you were trying to convince an atheist that God exists, would you think it would be more effective to go from a rational standpoint, or would it be from the internal standpoint that you would use?
Dr. Craig: I think that it doesn't have to be either/or. I think it can be both/and. I would share with my atheist friend these arguments and evidences that I find compelling, but I would also advise him, "Remember that the search for God is not some sort of disinterested, academic discussion, like adding another piece of furniture to your view of the universe. [2] This is a deeply existential and personal quest that needs to be pursued in humility and with openness of heart and openness to God." I would encourage the atheist to pray, for example, that if God is there, he would reveal himself to him. So, I see it as a both/and.
STOIC Interviewer: You've debated with many prominent atheists—the flagship atheists, you might say. You've debated Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, Dan Dennett. What do you believe is the purpose of engaging in such debates? Is it to try and convert any atheists watching that debate, or is it to simply get your views across to the general public?
Dr. Craig: The purpose of these events is to illustrate to the university communities, in which these debates are typically held, that Christian faith is a viable option for thinking men and women today. So often, university students have been told that it's irrational to be a Christian—that Christianity is for old ladies and little children, but that no thinking adult can be an intelligent believer—and that is so patently false. And these debates help to illustrate that well. I could come onto a campus—well, as I did at Imperial—and give a lecture myself, unchallenged. But it's far more, I think, effective and credible when an atheist shares the platform with me, is given equal time and even the last word, and yet students still see that the Christian worldview comes out intellectually head and shoulders above its competitor. So, I welcome the open dialogue with atheists about this.
STOIC Interviewer: In contrast to when you're speaking at a university, when you're speaking at a predominately Christian event, what would you say is the purpose of that? Is it just to affirm the faith of those present, or do you have another motive for doing that?
Dr. Craig: It isn't just to affirm the faith of those persons. It certainly is, because, contrary to what atheists say, Christians are actually pretty open-minded and many struggle with real doubts. They hear these objections of the New Atheists, for example, and they're troubled by them. They think about them. Christians are not the brain dead people that atheists sometimes portray. And so, hearing that there are good reasons to believe, as well as good answers to the objections, can affirm the faith of Christians.
But there is a further reason I will sometimes speak to Christian audiences, and that is to equip them. If Christians can be trained to give good reasons for what we believe and good answers to unbelievers' questions, then they will be more effective in sharing with their friends and family members the good news of the Gospel. And so, I am interested in equipping Christians as well to be good witnesses to the truth of the Christian faith.
STOIC Interviewer: As well as doing the debates, you do a lot of writing. First of all, what do you enjoy doing more? Secondly, what do you think is a more convincing form of argument?
Dr. Craig: Ah, this is a really good question. I enjoy them both so much. When I'm home in my study writing, I'm very often thinking, "Gosh, I wish I could be out on the road speaking or debating." When I'm traveling and speaking and debating, I'm thinking, "Oh, I wish I could be in my study now, with peace and quiet and writing." They're both really wonderful opportunities, and I enjoy them both and do both equally.
In terms of which is most effective, I once would have said, and I'm still probably inclined to think that the writing and research is more effective in reaching people, because my circumference of personal contacts is so limited compared to the written word. My books get into the university libraries, where they will be there for generations. And so, my goal as a writer is to leave a legacy that outlives myself.
However, since the development of the internet and YouTube, what it turns out is that the number of people who hear me live, say, at Imperial College, turns out to be a tiny minority. There will be tens of thousands of people who will watch that YouTube video. I have never put a video on YouTube, but other people pirate them and put them up. I recently saw a Google stat that said that at these Dr. Craig video sites, they have had over four million views. [3] That is far more than I've sold in terms of books.
So, it may well be that the public speaking actually will reach more people, because it too is archived in this way and reaches far more people than I do in the actual live audience.
STOIC Interviewer: Okay, and just before we end I've got two more questions. The first one is about Richard Dawkins. Obviously there has been a lot of back and forth between you and Professor Dawkins, and I was just wondering if you've read his recent article in The Guardian that was published?
Dr. Craig: I have read it, but I want to say there has not been a back and forth between me and Richard Dawkins. I have not responded to any of this. All of this is generated by other people who invite him and me to be in these debates, who started this bus campaign in Oxford, who made these YouTube videos. I don't have anything to do with that. I have preferred to just stay out of this and watch as a sort of amused bystander. So, yes I have read the article, but I'm not going to respond.
STOIC Interviewer: Okay, fair enough then. Lastly, I just want to get your thoughts about the future of this whole atheist/theist debate. What do you think will be the questions we're asking in, say, a hundred years from now? Do you think they'll be the same questions?
Dr. Craig: I do. These are perennial questions. I think the problem of suffering and evil and the hiddenness of God will always be the primary reason for doubt about God's existence. And I think that modern science will continue to discover facts about nature and the world we live in, which point beyond itself to a transcendent creator and designer of the universe. The moral argument will always be with us, because we'll always be asking, "What is the foundation for moral values and duties? Do they even exist objectively, or is everything relative?" These, I think, are perennial questions that will be with us in a hundred years and more.
STOIC Interviewer: Well, once again, thank you very much for agreeing to speak to me. I really appreciate you taking the time.
Dr. Craig: Certainly, good to be with you.
STOIC Interviewer: And I wish you luck on the rest of your UK tour.
Dr. Craig: Thank you.
STOIC Interviewer: Thank you very much.
Dr. Craig: Sure. [4]

Former Bears QB McMahon: 'Medicinal marijuana has been a godsend'
By Kevin Boilard | FoxSports
A 15-year career with six different teams took its toll on former NFL quarterback Jim McMahon. Diagnosed with early onset dementia, the 56-year-old deals with headaches and several other debilitating symptoms of the disease on a daily basis.
When the prescription painkillers became too much, McMahon turned to medical marijuana -- something he considers a "godsend."
Via Robert McCoppin of the Chicago Tribune:
The Chicago Bears selected McMahon fifth overall in the 1982 NFL Draft. He made 61 of his 97 career starts with the Bears and guided them to a victory in Super Bowl XX. After seven seasons in Chicago, he became a journeyman with stops in San Diego, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Arizona and Green Bay.
McMahon's case could be an eye-opener for Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner and others who need a little convincing that medical marijuana should be considered an acceptable alternative to prescription painkillers in certain situations.

There's something that happens on a second consecutive morning of sunshine…Just last week I was ranting about the rude manners of Londoners on the sidewalks, but this morning's commute dazzled me with 3 random acts of kindness. What the heck is going on here? People helping people? In London?!
But it's true! As our mole eyes adjust to the brighter rays shining through our windows at dawn, they are apparently sharpening into clearer focus of others' presence and consequently cultivating an enhanced awareness of other people and, by golly, their needs beyond the immediate ones our own.
While these might sound unremarkable to you, again, I needs must direct you to my prior post on the usual ill street manners one encounters here. And I hope that every Londoner got to observe at least 3 random acts of kindness today to see the smiling "Thank you!"s that result from them; if each of us just went out of our way once each day for a stranger, think how those smiles and gratitude would multiply exponentially.

Top DJ's/EMD Producers Making Millions…Do they deserve it????
August 20, 2014 June 22, 2016 4 min read admin
Forbes recently produced the list of highest paid DJ's. Some people may question if these DJ's really deserve to get paid so much, given they don't play any instruments on stage, while there are many musicians that play instruments are struggling to make ends meet. Let's look at the list first and then I will add my own comments what I think about this and why DJ gig rates have sky rocketed.
Calvin Harris $66 million
David Guetta $30 million
Avicii $28 million
(TIE) Tiesto $28 million
Steve Aoki $23 million
Afrojack $22 million
Zedd $21 million
Kaskade $17 million
Skrillex $16.5 million
Deadmau5 $16 million
Hardwell $13 million
Armin Van Burren $12 million
(TIE) Steve Angello $12 million
First of all these DJ's are not just DJ's. Every single one of these guys on the list is also a music producer and several of them have had Top 10 tracks in US or other countries. Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Zedd… Zedd has amazing talent for only being 25 years old. Another guy to watch out for is Martin Garrix who is only 18. I think every single one of these guys on the list is well deserved the amount of money they get paid. These are the top guys in the industry and some of them have produced tracks for the likes of Madonna, Rhianna and Lady Gaga. John Legend got to #1 with Tiesto's remix of "All of me." It is a great song, but Tiesto took it to another level and made it radio friendly. It would probably not even been Top 10 without Tiesto's remix. Calvin Harris actually sings too! Personally I only like 3 of the producers on this list, but I give credit to the rest for making Top 10 pop tracks and bringing EDM to the forefront.
One main reason these guys make so much money is because of VEGAS. Vegas started paying insane money to these guys, like $100K to $200K per gig….in return they charge $50 a head for entrance. It is a competition…all the clubs in Vegas are competing to have the best DJ's, hence their rates sky rocketed. Most people attending these clubs probably don't even know who these DJ's are when they attend, they just want to party and have a good time. Many attending raves and these type of clubs are there to get high from drugs, but as a result more and more people are also starting to dig this type of music.
EDM music really started from the 70's with disco. Back then disco had many haters, but look at the number of top artists it produced, such as Bee Gees, Abba, Donna Summer and Michael Jackson. Today it is the same, many are hating EDM and calling it just beeps and blips, but with the recent increase of EDM tracks in the Top 10, it just shows that he whole world agrees that EDM is here to stay and it is not just beeps and blips.
To be a good electronic musician is not as easy as you may think. It is the same as recording a rock song and making it sound good. It takes many many long hours. These guys here have all worked hard to get where they are. I agree that there are some DJ's out there that perhaps do not deserve to get paid what they do, because all they do is mix other people's tracks. However, all the ones on this list deserve to get paid what they get paid.

Kell Watts: What Plymouth Argyle can expect from new recruit Adam Lewis
The on-loan Newcastle United defender was a team-mate of Lewis for England under-19s

Get Chris Errington's exclusive behind-the-scenes take on life at Argyle in his weekly Inside Home Park newsletter
There is one very familiar face among the Plymouth Argyle squad for Adam Lewis, the new loan signing from Premier League champions Liverpool.
His move to the Pilgrims has seen him reunited with former England under-19s team-mate Kell Watts.
Lewis and Watts, who is enjoying a successful loan spell from Newcastle United, were part of the Three Lions' squad at the European Under-19 Championships in Finland in 2018.
They both started the opening two group games, a 3-2 win against Turkey and a 1-1 draw with Ukraine.
Watts was then an unused substitute for a 5-0 defeat by France – with Lewis part of the defence again – as England finished third in Group B.
Lewis, 21, will spend the rest of this season on loan to Argyle, most likely playing at left wing-back, and Watts believes he will be an excellent addition to the squad.
Watts said: "We went to the Euros in Finland together so I have played alongside him a couple of times.
"He's a great player. He's a good Scouse lad so it will be good to have him in the group. I think he will fit in perfect.
"I spoke to him (on Thursday) and just made sure everything went well on his first day of training.
"Obviously, I was in his shoes, coming into a new club, so I know what it can feel like.

"But with the group of lads we have got, the staff and everything to do with the club, he will fit in no problem.
"He's quick, has got a great left foot and will put balls in the box. He will work hard. That's his game really."
With Watts lining up on the left of Argyle's three-man central defence, his previous experience and knowledge of Lewis could prove to be very useful.
Watts said: "It always helps to have good relationships off the pitch. You find it easier when you are playing alongside someone you are close to.
"With this group of lads everyone is in one big group, so I think that's why we always seem to be on the same page when we are on the pitch.

"We win together, we draw together and we lose together. That's the type of mentality we have."
Lewis could make his debut for Argyle in the League One game against Crewe Alexandra at Home Park tomorrow.
It is less than five weeks since the Pilgrims lost 2-1 away to the same opposition, so they will want to make up for that defeat this time.
Watts said: "You never want to get beat off someone home and away. Obviously, we have been beaten away to them and they are coming to Home Park now.
"I know there will be no fans in to get behind us but we will definitely be making sure that they have something to cheer wherever they are watching it."

Five Cool Things About Actor/Director/Writer Danny Strong

Danny Strong is unstoppable. As an actor, you might know him as Jonathan Levinson from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Doyle McMaster in Gilmore Girls, Danny Siegel in Mad Men or Todd Krakow in Billions. He also has a thriving career as a film and TV writer with credits that include Recount, Game Change, Lee Daniels' The Butler and the final two Hunger Games films. If that's not enough he co-created, writes and executive produces the hit TV series Empire.
And now Strong's career has expanded to directing. This month he made his directorial debut with the J.D. Salinger autobiographical film Rebel In The Rye from IFC Films. Based on Kenneth Slawenski's book, J. D. Salinger: A Life, the movie burrows into the world of a young J.D. Salinger — his early struggles as a writer longing to be heard and the brutal trauma of being a soldier in combat during World War II, landing at Utah Beach on D-Day.
The film, which stars Nicholas Hoult as J.D. Salinger, also provides context as to why this great scribe, a man who helped shape modern literature, became such an enigmatic genius. The Rebel In The Rye cast also includes Kevin Spacey, Sarah Paulson, Victor Garber, Hope Davis, Brian d'Arcy James, Eric Bogosian and Zoey Deutch.
Strong, who stumbled upon Slawenski's biography in a bookstore, instantly had a deep connection to Salinger's story. "He was a young ambitious writer in New York City who was pounding the pavement and desperately trying to sell stories. It reminded me not only of myself but of all my writer friends," explains Strong. "World War II transformed him into a master storyteller and writer. It was so profound and beautiful that Catcher in the Rye had been written by a veteran who had seen the horrors of war. What hooked me was the idea that art could be birthed through trauma."
Here are five more cool things about Danny Strong.
1. He was always curious. When he was 11, he loved visiting his local Manhattan Beach, California, video store where he could banter with a fellow film-obsessed clerk who worked there, a guy named Quentin Tarantino. "I spent so much time talking to him they nicknamed me "Little Quentin." I'd come in and they'd say 'Little Quentin's here!' I'd sit for an hour or more and talk to him about movies. I loved it," says Strong. Tarantino recommended films that typically an 11-year-old normally doesn't watch, like Hitchcock films and Year of the Dragon. "But I watched and loved them," Strong explains. "He was influential in my movie-going taste."
2. Big and little Quentin had a full circle moment. Cut to the 2013 Golden Globe Awards. Tarantino won Best Screenplay for Django Unchained. Strong, who wrote and produced the epic TV drama Game Change, won too. "We were at a Golden Globe party together both holding our Golden Globes," recalls Strong. "Quentin told the story to everyone at the party. He said, 'You people don't get it! This is Little Quentin!' He has been nothing but totally supportive."
3. He doesn't give up. In high school Strong began doing plays and was able to get an agent but didn't book any work. When he was a theater major at the University of Southern California he got a new agent and kept auditioning. "I didn't book any work and was ready to quit many times. I thought, it's been four years and maybe I need to get a real job now. I was going to quit but had a profound moment. I went on an audition for a goofy sitcom. Whenever I went on an audition, I asked myself: what are they looking for? But I decided this would be my last audition. Who cares what they're seeking! I'll do whatever I want. What would make this funny is if this guy was really weird like Kramer on Seinfeld. I walked into the room and they started laughing as soon as I began talking. I got the job. I did the same thing the following day and I got that job. A few days later, I booked another. After four years of auditioning, I booked three jobs in one week."
4. Even as a child his sense of determination was fierce. "I can't remember a time where I didn't want to be an actor. As a kid my mom was a telephone operator and worked the shift after school. Now this would never happen, but I would come home after school, be by myself and watch TV. I remember watching television and thinking I could do better — that I should be on television and would be really good. When I was eight-years-old I started sending letters with my pictures to agents. I'd mail them to the William Morris Agency and the Harry Gold agency. Then I would come home every day after school waiting for a letter to come back.
5. He is constantly challenging himself. "The amount I learned as a director was staggering. It's like going to film school, getting your master's degree and PhD all at once. Working with an amazing crew and artists it is unbelievable how much you learn. I will say it was very ambitious and almost hubristic to direct my first film about a guy trying to become a writer and to keep it interesting, engaging and emotional. It wasn't until I was deep in post-production where I just thought to myself, why didn't I do a movie about someone rescuing hostages or with a gun in a car or with helicopter chase? It could be easier than this very difficult, very challenging subject matter."


I opened Otito's box this weekend. It is a box where I stored away the clothes, toys and personal effects he used in the weeks preceding his death. I suddenly realised that the batteries were still in the toys and had to go through the torture of rummaging the box to sort out his toys. The thought that I would have felt worse if the toys got ruined powered me through the prospect. I built myself up for it all week. I was very aware that seeing Otito's stuff was always my greatest trigger. For this reason, I kept on putting off the simple task.
On Sunday, without even thinking about it after church, I just went for it. On one hand, i think that feeling very uplifted after what had been a lovely church service gave me the boost that I needed. From one trouser to the next, I sorted through. After that I brought out one toy after the other. Initially, I avoided setting any of the buttons off to avoid hearing the sounds of what were once the soundtracks of our lives. In my usual clumsy way I dropped one of the toys on top of the heap and that set off the cacophony I was desperately avoiding.
To my utmost surprise, the feelings I began to experience were anything but raw grief. I began to smile as one sound after the next took me back to my boy. To times when his little fingers set those same sounds off. Times long gone came flashing before my eyes. My grief was real but suddenly it felt kinder to me. It was not pulling at my heart but somehow, it felt like a dull ache. The sounds warmed my heart and I even found myself smiling through tears that seemed more like tears of joy at the time.
In less than a few minutes, the familiar sounds cajoled the boys from the different parts of the house where they were otherwise busily lost in their own worlds. The sounds lured them and as Mark walked into the room followed by Karl, I began to struggle to switch off the toys. I wished that I was alone in the house as I would have loved to indulge myself. Mark began singing along and It became a bitter sweet moment for us all. There was a serenity within it all as Mark sang that I cannot really explain. We were all together yet lost deeply within our individual thoughts. We began smiling at one another and enjoying the toy sounds while selfishly holding on to our individual thoughts.
"These are Otito's toys mum. What are you doing?", Mark asked me rather protectively.
" I am just taking the batteries out", I said.
So we spent the Sunday afternoon thinking about Otito. We also watched some videos from when Otito was a baby playing with Mark. It was just nice to see our boy again. I had forgotten how happy he used to be amidst all the pain.
I am so grateful for all the lovely videos we ever made and still make. It is so funny how much we forget over time and how quickly grief and pain replace every joyful memory when they strike. It is such a blessing to be able to revisit some old but beautiful memories.

This is a difficult question because the scriptures do not directly address this issue. We read about the Rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17, "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." When the Apostle Paul uses the word 'we' in these verses, he is speaking of those who "believe that Jesus died and rose again." He also speaks of those who were "dead in Christ." These are the believers in Christ who had passed away. So, we can say definitely that all those who have 'life in Christ', will be involved in the Rapture. Those who have died and gone to be with the Lord will return with Him, their bodies will be raised, and they will return with Christ back to Heaven. Those believers who are still living will be changed and ascend to Heaven with Christ and those who now have resurrected bodies. For more on this, I encourage you to read 1 Corinthians 15:51-57.
Some teach that the children of those who are saved will be caught up in the Rapture, and the children of the lost will be left behind, but there is no scripture to clearly justify that claim. It seems that the only thing the writers agree on is the fact that the scriptures do not address this issue directly.
With that being said, I will suggest that babies and small children will possibly be Raptured. In 2 Samuel 12, we have the account of King David's young son being stricken of God with a deathly sickness. David prayed and fasted continuously for his son. In spite of the earnest prayers of David, his son died. We then read David's reaction to his son's death in verses 20-23, "Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat. Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live? But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me." David, at that point, realized that his son had been taken to Heaven and that he would see him again one day when he would go to Heaven.

Q: How To Understand Mach-O Symbol Table I am currently learning how to disassemble Mach-O Binary Files and I am trying to figure out how to understand a 'Symbol Table' (in load cmd LC_SYMTAB).
How Do I Read / Interpret A Symbol Table and its entries?
I am not 100% of this but it appears that the entries are 8 bytes each? (correct me if I'm wrong)
I know that a string table is a group of strings separated by null bytes but what is a Symbol Table and its purpose?
Thanks.

A: Straight from <mach-o/nlist.h>:
struct nlist {
    union {
        uint32_t n_strx;    /* index into the string table */
    } n_un;
    uint8_t n_type;         /* type flag, see below */
    uint8_t n_sect;         /* section number or NO_SECT */
    int16_t n_desc;         /* see <mach-o/stab.h> */
    uint32_t n_value;       /* value of this symbol (or stab offset) */
};

struct nlist_64 {
    union {
        uint32_t  n_strx;   /* index into the string table */
    } n_un;
    uint8_t n_type;         /* type flag, see below */
    uint8_t n_sect;         /* section number or NO_SECT */
    uint16_t n_desc;        /* see <mach-o/stab.h> */
    uint64_t n_value;       /* value of this symbol (or stab offset) */
};

So no, that shouldn't be 8 bytes, but rather 12 bytes for 32-bit and 16 bytes for 64-bit binaries.

Book Corner: The how and why of self-deception and how to quit doing it
May 21, 2009 9:00 am by Inside Illinois | 217-333-1085Campus Life
Self-deception occurs because we often see the world the way we would like it to be, rather than the way it is, author Harry C. Triandis, professor emeritus of psychology, writes in his new book, "Fooling Ourselves: Self-Deception in Politics, Religion and Terrorism" (Praeger Publishers).
Across cultures and around the world, self-deception is a phenomenon that has subtle and profound effects on everyday life, said Triandis, also former president of the International Association of Cross-Cultural Psychology. In the book, he not only explains how and why self-deceptions occur in three areas – politics, religion and terrorism – but also how to recognize and reduce the frequency of fooling ourselves. Insights include consideration of personal and societal self-deceptions, as well as extensive understanding of how politics, ideologies and religions can frame "reality" for us in a way that it is, in our minds, warped so the stage is set for self-deception.
The book will be of special interest to general readers drawn to politics and religion, as well as scholars of psychology, anthropology and sociology.
This book presents a worldview that is universal: The purpose of life is to help as many people as possible be physically and mentally healthy, happy, long-lived and environmentally conscious. Actions that are inconsistent with these four criteria are considered to be "immoral." That makes much of what people do immoral, and Triandis presents evidence that materialism, the population explosion and the role of television in democracies create problems that need to be solved. He stresses the principle of "nothing in excess," which requires modest living – a lifestyle Triandis believes is going to be a necessity if Earth is to be preserved.
"A classic example of how self-deception can affect public policy is the debate on global warming where failure to acknowledge the importance of overpopulation leaves us with inadequate answers," Triandis said.
Triandis presents evidence to suggest that self-deception is universal and affects people from all backgrounds, and he reveals a simple test that allows anyone to know when they are fooling themselves.
"In my book I suggest that having too many cognitively simple self-deceptions is often not good for us. But on the other hand, research shows that it is all right to have them sometime," Triandis said. "Let us face it: The world is complex, but it is our hope, need and desire that it be simple."


The NBA's top shooting defense will be a 3-point favorite on the road at Staples Center, when the Milwaukee Bucks (9-2) take on the Los Angeles Clippers (6-5). The game's Over/Under (O/U) opened at 233 points and it will air on Fox Sports Net Wisconsin at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, November 10, 2018.
The last time the Bucks played, they blew out the Golden State Warriors, 134-111, as 5.5-point underdogs. The Clippers, on the other hand, were topped by the Portland Trail Blazers, 116-105, and were unable to cover as 5-point underdogs. The Milwaukee game finished 2.5 points over the projected point total of 242.5, while the Los Angeles game went 4.5 points under the projected point total of 225.5.
Milwaukee played a perfect game. They had a superb turnover percentage of 9.6 (better than their season average of 13.3) and an offensive rebounding percentage of 30.2 (above their season average of 22.6). Golden State recorded marks of 15.7 and 19.5, respectively, for those same stats. Los Angeles, on the other hand, held Portland to an effective field goal percentage of 0.464 (below their season average of 0.535).

Milwaukee, meanwhile, had a better free throw rate (0.193 vs. 0.116). This is the first time these teams will clash this year.
Bucks matchups have typically finished over the O/U total (72.7 percent). Milwaukee heads into the game with records of 9-2 straight up (SU) and 7-4 against the spread (ATS).
Contrary to Milwaukee, Clippers games have finished under the O/U total 54.5 percent of the time. Further, Los Angeles owns records of 6-5 SU and 6-5 ATS.
Lou Williams has taken his game to another level recently for Los Angeles, averaging 21.6 points and 4.0 assists over the last five games.
Second-chance points could be scarce for Los Angeles in this matchup. The Clippers rank 21st in offensive rebounding percentage (21.9 percent), while Milwaukee ranks third in defensive rebounding percentage (80.1 percent). Additionally, the Bucks' second-ranked offense (effective field goal percentage of 0.561) will battle against the Clippers' top-ranked defense (effective field goal percentage allowed of 0.478).
The Bucks rank first in rebounds per game (52.5) while the Clippers rank 14th in rebounds allowed per game (44.8).
Milwaukee ranks second in three pointers attempted per game (40.5) while Los Angeles ranks 27th (24.9).
The Bucks rank second in fast break points allowed per game (10.3) while the Clippers rank 22nd (15.6).

Milwaukee ranks 24th in steals per game (6.2) while Los Angeles ranks 26th (5.3).
Milwaukee ranks fourth in second chance points allowed per game (11.0) while Los Angeles ranks 24th (15.7).
In games where they allow below 100 points, Los Angeles and Milwaukee are both 2-0.
The Bucks are 9-2 when they reach 100 points, while the Clippers are 6-4.
Los Angeles is 4-1 ATS at home, while Milwaukee is 2-3 ATS on the road.
In 5 road games, the Bucks have 3 overs and 2 unders.
The Clippers have 3 unders and 2 overs in 5 home games.
The Bucks are 3-2 ATS over their last five games, while the Clippers are 2-3.
In their last five games, Milwaukee has 4 overs and 1 under, while Los Angeles has 3 unders and 2 overs.
The Bucks' average margin of victory in their last five games has been 10.8, down from 13.6 for the season.
During their last five games, the Clippers have scored an average of 113.6 points per game (1.6 below their season average) and allowed an average of 114.0 points per game (3.6 above their season average).

Hello Gregory Juarez! Thanks for taking some time to answer some questions for our readers. I'm so glad to share some of my thoughts with you, I guess our audience will find our conversation intriguing and maybe we'll inspire them to get into the business.
Q: How long have you been tattooing? What inspired you to start tattooing?
A: It's been 2 years and 7 months since I started in this beautiful field of art which has been a great experience of development and learning. Since I was a child I was always passionate about drawing and painting because my father loves to paint, I had the opportunity to see it at times and feel attracted to everything it entailed. It was a hobby of mine to draw and paint all the time. I never took it as a profession or very seriously, it was more an escape from reality towards something I liked to do.
As a teenager I was in the field of graffiti for a while from which I could learn a lot based on styles and creative development along with a cousin Jesus Alvarado and a friend Rohil Guerrero who then began started tattooing, they always told me, "you should start tattooing I know you'd do it very well!" Over time I made the decision to start this and it was something very special for me.
Q: Did you find difficult getting into the business? What was the main goal you've had back when you were starting?
A: It was a bit difficult because at that time the situation in Venezuela was complicated. My main goal was to be independent and dedicate all my time to tattooing, after about 3 month or so I was able to open a small studio, together with my friend Rohil.
I started buying only a machine and a friend lend me the rest of the equipment to start, it was then I made my first tattoo on my own leg, I did so because I wanted to know what it felt like to inject and feel what I was doing. After that, several friends offered to be "guinea pigs" and I did small things on them to learn a little more.
- Did you have any mentor?
My mentor was my cousin Jesus Alvarado, he was the one who taught me how to see the process beyond just a mark on the body, to inject, fill and shade. I practiced with him many times making a sleeve with only lettering (which I have not finished yet) because when I was into graffiti, I was good at making letters. I scolded myself when I did something I shouldn't and at the same time encouraged me to do better since I work with skins and it is not something that you can erase. I will always be grateful for all the knowledge he shared that led me to do what I do now.
Q: What's the best approach in order to get better knowledge of this type of art?
A: Discipline, perseverance and dedication are the fundamental bases to grow as a person and as an artist, patience is very important to get a good performance. It is a long journey we are taking on, we will never stop learning, so we must always be attentive to what we do in order to learn from ourselves.
Q: Your portfolio looks very professional. Every tattoo is done perfectly, makes me wanna love more black & gray tattoos now! Haha I don't believe I've seen any color tattoos, do you prefer this type of work or you plan to surprise us in the feature doing some color tattoos?
A: Thank you very much for appreciating my work, it is very pleasant to know that I inspire other people to get more tattoos. I really like black & gray due to the level of realism that can be achieved. I seek to perfect my technique every day to obtain the best result, always learning. I plan to start with color after I master what I'm doing, to start studying something different.
Q: Since there is no "undo" or "edit" option when it comes to tattooing, what parts of doing realistic piece you find as most difficult and time consuming?
A: Everything depends on the design and what's going to be done. I would say that each tattoo is a challenge and something that I have to face in the best way possible, the difficulties and time don't mean anything, everything depends on the performance of oneself.
Q: I really love how you combine more than one photo in one final tattoo design, very creative. How do you cope the first few ideas to the final, do you draw a bunch of sketches or do you allow your clients to bring some reference images? Tell me a little about the making process.
A: Thank you very much for appreciating it. I take into account the references that the client gives me, but for each design I interpret it my own way. Normally I don't make more than 2 or 3 designs. I seek to create something different and sometimes that can take time, as in other occasions I select a single image and the rest flows while I tattoo, it's something more authentic since the interpretation of each artist is very important.
Q: Many beautiful portraits, do you have any "dream" piece or just a favorite person you wanna put on someone's skin?
A: Lately I've been fascinated by portraits, it's a great challenge when you have to portray a family member and when you finish it, you feel a great satisfaction for the person to whom you fulfilled their dream. I've always wanted to tattoo celebrities whether they are singers, actors or musicians, I think they have a lot of impressive references with which you can create something very special.
Q: We all know that doing the final touch ups and the white ink at the end is the most painful part of the whole session, I've been there! How do you cheer up your clients in those moments? How much is important to have a nice, friendly attitude while still remaining professional?
A: It is very important to treat the client good, so they can trust you and your ability to work calmly with the best mindset. When it comes to tattooing the energy is very important as we should feel the best, to perform our best. White's always a bit painful but it is a very important part of the process. Sometimes I ask them if they swam so much to die on the shore? There are many things at stake and to give my client a good job is to see them happy, but that depends on both.
Q: Some artists give their clients some time for the skin to heal and then finish the process in a few weeks. This is most common when it comes to big tattoos, such as sleeves and back pieces. Do you remember the longest session but still having to book more sessions?
A: If it is normal to work in this way. I usually make large pieces in two continuous days of approximately 7 hours each session, the result is very good and quite fast. When making sleeves works that way, of course it also depends on the client's conditions but the normal thing is to go for sessions between periods of 7 to 10 days. I would say that the longest session I've done is about 12 hours.
- How we can book an appointment? What's the procedure?
Contact the studio via Instagram DM (@vasterortsblack on Instagram) and they'll help you with everything.
Q: What's the most rewarding aspect of being a professional tattoo artist?
A: Without a doubt, the pride of my parents that's my motivation. It is also nice to know that I can be a reference and inspiration for other artists who are starting in this field, this is what I love the most and what I dedicate all my time!
Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity! It is gratifying to know that my work is reaching new people in the world.


A "manual" store will have an automated point of sale and inventory system but will process accounts payable and payroll manually. Periodically the collected information will be forwarded to the accountant and then the financial statements will be returned to the store owner for review. There is nothing wrong with this process! In fact it may be the most reasonable of all back office solutions because you let the accountant worry about the details.
The down side of a manual system is timing. Today is the first of the new month, did I make a profit last month?
The next level of store is the general ledger aware operation. TransActPOS can be setup to release general ledger information in the following formats: Peachtree, Sage Pro ERP, Timberline, QuickBooks Pro, and CSV file. The posting of the general ledger release may be via an import or manual posting of a journal entry. Reports from TransActPOS can be run which assist the back office staff in the posting of payroll hours, purchase order receipts and similar information.
These general ledger aware systems work fine and are preferred by many stores because of familiarity and cost of the application.
A fully integrated solution incorporates a enterprise class back office accounting system with TransActPOS to provide seamless integration of general ledger, payroll time clock, management of purchase order receipts and other processes.
The enterprise solution back office is based upon the Sage Pro ERP accounting applications. The expandability of the Accpac product line is very extensive and will meet most corporate accounting needs.
For those wanting to push the edge of reporting and have a desire to truly understand their business, the Accpac has a Excel module, F9, which drills into the live data to refresh your spreadsheet information.
The enterprise integration also allows the free hand reporting into Microsoft Excel which give the management team a full range of functions that surpasses most other systems.
A fully integrated system provides up to the minute information to assist in your decision making process.

The Office of General Counsel issued the following opinion on August 1, 2003, representing the position of the New York State Insurance Department.
Re: No-Fault OBEL Coverage and Loss Transfer
Question Presented
May the No-Fault insurer of a policy issued to a pedestrian, who has been injured in a motor vehicle accident in New York, when the insurer has paid No-Fault benefits to the pedestrian under such person's optional basic economic loss coverage (hereinafter "OBEL"), assert a loss transfer claim against the No-Fault insurer of a truck which caused injury to the pedestrian, when the owner of the truck has not purchased OBEL coverage and the owner's policy maintains only the minimum amount of No-Fault coverage required to operate a vehicle in New York?
Yes, the eligible injured party's No-Fault insurer can assert a loss transfer claim for first party OBEL benefits paid to its insured against the No-Fault insurer of the at-fault truck.
The inquirer describes a situation where a truck strikes and injures a pedestrian in New York. The pedestrian thereafter received $50,000 in first party benefits from the truck's No-Fault policy, which maintained the minimum $50,000 in basic economic loss required under New York law. The pedestrian, who had purchased an additional $25,000 in optional basic economic loss coverage under his own automobile policy, received that additional $25,000 from his No-Fault insurer. As the truck involved weighed over 6,500 pounds, the pedestrian's No-Fault insurer is seeking to recover the $25,000 in OBEL benefits it paid from the No-Fault insurer of the truck through inter-company loss transfer.
N.Y. Ins. Law §§ 5102(a)(McKinney 2003) defines "basic economic loss" under No-Fault as "up to fifty thousand dollars per person…", which is the minimum amount of No-Fault coverage which every motor vehicle operating in New York is required to provide. In 1997, the Legislature enacted a new Section 5102(a)(5), which stated that basic economic loss "shall also include an additional option to purchase, for an additional premium, an additional twenty-five thousands dollars of coverage…", which coverage may be designated by the insured to provide specifically for lost earnings and/or psychiatric, physical or occupational therapy benefits. Pursuant to N.Y. Ins. Law §§ 5102(b)(McKinney 2003), payments to reimburse a person for basic economic loss are defined as "first party benefits".
N.Y. Ins. Law §§ 5105(a) provides for inter-company loss transfer between No-Fault insurers in very limited instances for first party benefits paid. This provision states that:
Any insurer liable for the payment of first party benefits…has the right to recover the amount paid from the insurer of any other covered person to the extent that such other covered person would have been liable, but for the provisions of this article (the No-Fault Law), to pay damages in an action at law. In any case, the right to recover exists only if at least one of the motor vehicles involved is a motor vehicle weighing more than six thousand five hundred pounds unloaded or is a motor vehicle used principally for the transportation of persons or property for hire
When first enacted, the loss transfer provision, where applicable, contemplated situations where both policies provided for basic economic loss of $50,000. However, when the Legislature amended the No-Fault law in 1991 to create OBEL coverage, it specifically provided that, when the option to purchase such coverage is exercised by an insured, the total amount of basic economic loss would rise to $75,000. Therefore, under current law, OBEL claims payments made by a No-Fault insurer constitute first party benefits paid under basic economic loss. As such, OBEL first party benefits would be eligible for loss transfer under Section 5105(a) when meeting the applicable requirements.
In the situation the inquirer presents, the truck injuring the pedestrian constitutes a vehicle in excess of over 6,500 pounds, thereby invoking the availability of loss transfer. The inquirer raises the question as to whether the truck's insurer, who makes available only $50,000 in basic economic loss under the truck's underlying policy, must now reimburse the pedestrian's insurer for the extra $25,000 in OBEL benefits to the pedestrian under the loss transfer provision. Because OBEL coverage is an element of basic economic loss and therefore a first party benefit, the insurer of an at-fault vehicle in excess of 6,500 pounds or for hire, is obligated under the statute to provide the full amount of first party benefits paid by the other No-Fault insurer under Section 5105(a) loss transfer, including instances where first party benefits paid include No-Fault OBEL coverage.

NASA will release spacecraft to study Venus in 2029
Posted by By Editor Team June 7, 2022
Everything you need to know about the 120Hz Refresh rate options on the Galaxy S20 – How to use, enable, and adjust
NASA announced that it will launch a spacecraft to explore Venus in 2029. The probe is scheduled to fly by Venus several times and travel through the harsh atmosphere of Venus to reach the planet's surface.
The atmosphere of Venus is very unfriendly to spacecraft, and the descent process is a hellish existence. The Venus exploration mission, named "Da Vinci" (DAVINCI), will explore the rare gases in the deep atmosphere of Venus, the specific chemical composition, and take pictures. It will be the first human spaceflight mission to explore Venus through flybys and landings.
The "Da Vinci" mission is expected to explore all layers of Venus' atmosphere and reach the surface of Venus in June 2031. Scientists have been eager to obtain Venus data since the early 1980s. If all goes well, the "Da Vinci" mission will be able to capture detailed detection data about Venus. Before that, only two NASA missions visited Venus, the "Pioneer" launched in 1978, and the early 1990s launch of the Magellan.
The da Vinci spacecraft is essentially a flight chemistry laboratory that measures Venus' different atmospheric and climate compositions and takes the first overhead images of Venus' highlands during its descent. Instruments on the da Vinci mission plan to map the surface of Venus and detect the distribution of Venus' mountain-like highlands.
NASA scientists say these features, called "tesserae," on Venus are similar to continents on Earth, suggesting that Venus may have plate tectonics."The combination of chemical composition, environmental and descent imaging data will paint a picture of the Get a picture of the layers of Venus' atmosphere and how it interacts with the surface of the Alpharegio Mountains, which are twice the size of Texas."
"These missions will allow us to assess the evolution of Venus' atmosphere and detect special rock types such as granite on the surface of Venus while looking for landscape features that can tell us what erosion or other formation processes have created on the surface of Venus."
The da Vinci mission will also investigate whether Venus had an ocean in the past by measuring the composition of gas and water in the deepest part of Venus' atmosphere. Venus may have been the first habitable world in our solar system, and scientists speculate that Venus previously had an ocean and climate similar to Earth, but something happened in the meantime that turned Venus into a planet hot enough to melt lead.
According to a 2019 study, Venus may have had a stable temperature for billions of years and liquid water before an event triggered dramatic climate change. The study's author is Michael Way, a physical scientist at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Science who co-authored a 2016 study of Venus' prehistoric climate and oceans.
Venus is now almost a dead star, with a toxic atmosphere 90 times thicker than Earth's and a surface temperature of 462 degrees Celsius. As the da Vinci mission will fly by Venus multiple times, the spacecraft will use two instruments to study the atmosphere and map Venus' highlands from orbit. The spacecraft will then release a descending probe carrying five instruments all the way to the surface of Venus.
The descent lasts about an hour, and the probe will use a heat shield to protect itself. When reaching an altitude of about 67 kilometers from the surface of Venus, the probe will discard the heat shield and sample and analyze atmospheric gases. The descending probe will also take hundreds of pictures after passing through 30,500 meters of high-altitude clouds on the surface of Venus.
Stephanie Getty, the deputy principal investigator at Goddard, said in a statement: "The probe will touch down in the Alpharegio Mountains, but it will no longer need to continue operations after landing, as all required scientific data will be The acquisition is done before reaching the surface of Venus." "If we can land at 11 meters per second, ideally the probe could be on the surface of Venus for 17 to 18 minutes."

What Is The Spiral Of Death In Figure Skating: Video
Video: What Is The Spiral Of Death In Figure Skating: Video
Video: Figure Skating - Death Spiral 2023, January
Pair skating is one of the most spectacular and risky types of figure skating. Supports and emissions make the audience hold their breath while watching programs. And today we will talk about one of the most elegant elements of pair skating - todes, or Death Spiral in English.
Todes is an element of pair figure skating, during the execution of which the partner, sliding on one leg, describes a spiral around the partner, and the partner is in the "compass" position.
Todes is an obligatory element of the short program, although it changes the type from season to season. In the 2020/21 season, for both seniors and juniors, a forward-inward todes is mandatory - when the partner slides forward on the inner edge of the blade.
In addition, in the free program, adult athletes must perform a todes that is different in type from the one that was performed in the short program. That is, for example, if in a short song it is performed forward-inward, then in an arbitrary it can be a todes back-outward.
How to read the notation of the todes in the protocol?
Todes is divided into four types, depending on the edge on which the partner slides. That is, it can be inside or outside todes, back or forward.
In the competition protocol it will be like this: the todes itself is designated Ds (deathspiral). Add a designation for back-outside Bo (back-outside), and then add level 2. It turns out BoDs2 - Todes back-out of the second level.
What are the main features of a todes?
During the execution of the todes, the girl should be in a position in which her head is at or below the knee of the sliding leg. If this requirement is not met, the element will not be counted. During the execution of the todes on the inner rib, the partner forms a large deflection of the body, while during the execution of the todes on the outer rib, the line between the knee of the supporting leg and the head may be more straight.
The man should be in the position of a compass: the knees are clearly bent, the free arm is extended, the tooth is stuck. The partner's buttocks should be no higher than their supporting leg.
These positions must be held for at least one full revolution to be valid. The countdown begins from the moment when the toe of the partner's supporting leg was stuck into the ice, and ends when either the girl or the man comes out of a low position - that is, begins to get up.
How can you increase the level of the todes?
After all the basic requirements are met, athletes tend to complicate the element in order to get high scores for it. In the case of a todes, this can be done in several ways.
The first is to increase the number of revolutions. Each turn gives an additional level. However, it is worth remembering that only full turns made in a low, correct position by both partners are considered. If a partner or a partner loses a position, the turnover count ends, even if after that the position was returned.
The second way is a difficult entry or exit from the element. The ISU Judges Guide defines a difficult run as a position that affects stability and balance.
It can be both creative and unusual elements, and such classic positions as a spiral, a boat or a pistol. However, it is important that the complicating element is performed directly on the curve of the approach to the todes, without pauses and gaps - otherwise it will not be counted.
The same is with the exit - "exit" starts to be counted when the partner begins to bend the holding hand, and ends when the partner assumes an upright position.
Changing hands and grabs during a performance is permitted in today's rules, but does not add a level of difficulty.
In which performance to watch?
Among the acting couples are the canonical todes of the Chinese - Wenjing Sui and Tsun Han, as well as the Russian couple Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov.
Todes performed by the 2018 Olympic champions Alena Savchenko and Bruno Masso are always full of original, sometimes on the verge of legal, entries and exits from the element. And Olympic champions Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov always perform this element with special grace and grace.

In Character: Artists' Role Play in Photography and Video
April 14 – July 31, 2012
This exhibition presents contemporary work in which the artist "performs" a role or "plays" a character. Referencing pop culture, art, and history, and appropriating such mainstream visual traditions as studio portraiture, the photo album, and TV and video, these artists use masquerade and performance to explore themes of individual and cultural identity as well as issues regarding gender and racial stereotyping. Featured artists include Kalup Linzy, Yasumasa Morimura, Laurel Nakadate, Tomoko Sawada, Lorna Simpson, and Gillian Wearing. To underscore Cindy Sherman's important influence on the practice of artists serving as performers in their own work, examples from her early projects are also included.
In concert with Making a Presence: F. Holland Day in Artistic Photography, an exhibition that similarly examines the artistic use of props and costume, In Character provides an invaluable context in which to examine the rich tradition of theatrical masquerade and self-portraiture in photography.
In Character is presented in collaboration with Harvard Art Museums and has been generously supported by the Mollie Bennett Lupe and Garland M. Lasater Exhibitions Fund and the Winton Family Exhibition Fund.

Q: Difference between research and résearch (with an accented e) Edit: to anyone who stumbles across this
It seems that this is a nonce word, and the intention, disappointingly, is unclear.
In the Wikipedia page on Josiah Willard Gibbs, a quote from one of his former students invokes a difference between research and résearch.
The full quote is:

Gibbs was not an advertiser for personal renown nor a propagandist for science; he was a scholar, scion of an old scholarly family, living before the days when research had become résearch ... Gibbs was not a freak, he had no striking ways, he was a kindly dignified gentleman.
  - E. B. Wilson, 1931

I have bolded the phrase, but the first part of the word is italicized in the original, not by me.
I've looked in a couple online dictionaries (including the OED), but I can't seem to find the latter word.
Is résearch an English word? If so, what does it mean, and what distinguishes it from research?

A: I suspect Wilson was using the accent mark as a stress indicator. The implied context, I believe, is that there had been a time when the noun "research" was normally stressed on the second syllable. Over some period of time before 1931 (the year in which Wilson wrote this), people began stressing the word on the first syllable. It's like referring, today, to someone "who lived in the days before dungarees had become jeans and pocketbooks had become purses".

A: 'Résearch' is a nonce word created specifically for that one occasion to communicate a new idea. Sometimes nonce words become neologisms and become used by others. Sometimes not.
The accent on the 'e' is not a native English spelling. It is presumably intended by the author to change the more modest sounding 'research', to give the feel of a French word, which in English writing has a connotation of higher class or fanciness or highborn.
Searching google books for occurrences of 'résearch' finds nothing:

Likewise, searching French sources finds no evidence of a French word. The actual French translation of 'research' is 'recherches'.

Just because google ngrams doesn't find anything doesn't mean it doesn't exist (it's not searching web pages). But it's a good indication that it is either rare or not accepted by most people as a repeatable word.

A: To my understanding, the writer means that Gibbs, who died in 1903, did research when there was very little history of physics research in the United States, before the physics revolution (relativity and quantum mechanics) of the early twentieth century, before scientific research became a full-fledged salaried career, before there existed a competitive job market for academic research, when scientific research had more in common with the natural philosophy of the 1600s and 1700s than it did with the modern-day research-industrial complex funded by government and private industry, and when science was still mostly a leisure pursuit of individual scholars rather than a professional endeavor of large teams.
The accent mark and italicization stands for an affected pronunciation that carries connotations of pretension, as opposed to the humbler, less self-referential enterprise of earlier generations.
The writer, Edwin Bidwell Wilson, wrote this in the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, to an audience likely to understand how the discipline of scientific research was changing at the beginning of the twentieth century. I don't think it's fair to say it's bad writing.
