Ying Ying and Le Le Celebrate 5th Birthday at Ocean Park
Hong Kong Home to World's Third Oldest Panda under Human Care
OPCFHK Plants 160,000 Bamboo Seedlings in Sichuan Panda Habitats
(8 August 2010 – Hong Kong) Ocean Park today hosted a pan-tastic birthday party for its four giant pandas. The 5th birthday of Ying Ying and Le Le marks a new milestone in their development as they are now ready to take up the solitary lifestyle natural to giant pandas and enjoy their icy birthday cake within the comfort of their individual homes for the very first time. Also celebrating their birthday are the Park's two elder pandas, An An and Jia Jia—the latter being the third oldest giant panda under human care—which have thrived under Ocean Park's world-class panda care and played the role of ambassadors to inspire conservation awareness among Park guests over the past eleven years. In recognition of the importance of sharing panda conservation messages with the younger generation, Ocean Park invited six children, with the exact same birthdate as either Ying Ying or Le Le, who were among the first to register with the Park by phone to join in the festivities.
Dr. Allan Zeman, Chairman of Ocean Park, said "Hong Kong is blessed with having these wonderful giant pandas that continue to bring joy and conservation awareness to our guests at Ocean Park. And with Jia Jia being the 3rd oldest giant panda under human care—a true grande dame in the panda world—Ocean Park is particularly proud of having provided the exceptional care that enabled Jia Jia to enjoy her 32nd birthday in good health. Ocean Park and the Wolong Nature Reserve have also been important partners in raising Jia Jia over the years. Although she exhibits various conditions typical for an ageing animal, she is still enjoying her good health at this age. With well equipped veterinary facilities in place, we will continue to monitor her situation in anticipation of any normal health issues that may arise with ageing. To encourage everyone to come say 'Happy Birthday' in person to their best panda pals, we are introducing a series of promotional offers effective today until the end of August. Most significantly, local children between 3-11 years of age visiting Ocean Park will receive one free child daytime admission ticket, valid throughout September 2010. In addition, guests who are celebrating their birthday today or on August 16th at the Park will each receive a special panda souvenir on top of their free birthday admission. Special dining and retail offers also await all our guests."
As a technical advisor to the HKSAR government on Wolong rebuilding efforts, Ocean Park contributes to giant panda conservation by assisting the Development Bureau in the design of the Wolong Panda Centre rebuilding project and the world's first disease control centre in Dujianyin. The Park also directs significant resources to panda conservation and inspires public support for the important cause through Ocean Park Conservation Foundation, Hong Kong (OPCFHK).
Ms. Judy Chen, Chair of OPCFHK, said "Over the past two years, our Giant Panda Base Rebuilding Fund has received over HK$6.4 million in donations and allocated HK$6.3 million for panda reserve rebuilding efforts. Last year, we approved over HK$2.1 million in funding for various conservation projects, including a habitat restoration project in Wolong Nature Reserve, a conservation study of red panda distribution in the Yele Nature Reserve, as well as the acquisition of new equipment for giant panda reserves in the provinces of Gansu and Shaanxi. The habitat restoration project, in particular, involves planting 160,000 Fargesia robustas seedlings in areas surrounding Sanjiang Field Station in the Wolong Nature Reserve to recover some 4,700 hectares of bamboo plantation. We look forward to receiving continued support from the people of Hong Kong so that dislocated giant panda can return home as soon as possible."
To ensure its resident giant pandas can best help guests connect with the world of pandas, Ocean Park has always endeavoured to provide them with exemplary care by sharing experience and expertise with other facilities worldwide. And through its education arm, Ocean Park Academy, Hong Kong (OPAHK), Ocean Park instills concern for panda conservation in the younger generation by providing a wide range of interactive and engaging courses.
Ms. Suzanne Gendron, Executive Director, Zoological Operations and Education, said, "Ocean Park has been engaging in collaborative exchanges with experts in Wolong and other zoological facilities around the world, including Macau, Taiwan, Singapore and San Diego, to ensure we adopt best practices in giant panda care and husbandry. We also send our panda caregivers to Yaan, Sichuan for training on how to provide the best care to giant pandas in advanced stages of life."
She added, "Since the arrival of An An and Jia Jia eleven years ago, our panda related educational programmes have remained the most popular among guests and students. Of the over 46,000 students that benefited from OPAHK's interactive and fun-filled courses, about 20% attended one of the six giant panda related courses that we offer for levels ranging from kindergarten to secondary school. Students in 'Animals Super-stool' for secondary 1-3, for instance, get to make recycled paper out of giant panda wastes. And in 'Conservation Ambassador', primary school students play the role of conservationists helping to rebuild a bamboo corridor. According to students who have taken our educational programmes, they came to realize that 'endangered species like giant pandas and red pandas could eventually go extinct if we did not engage in conservation' and that 'protecting the environment starts with us.'"
As part of this year's panda birthday promotion, guests will enjoy buy-one-get-one-free offers on designated panda souvenirs and anyone who purchases a food item at Panda Café is entitled to a free panda longevity bun.
Note to editors: Ying Ying and Le Le's birthdays are on 16th and 8th August respectively.

How I became a constructivist.
Looking back, I had constructivist inclinations long before I heard of constructivism. I was reading a Dutch textbook on Euclidean geometry, and came to the point where they were proving that the bisector of the top vertex of an isoceles triangle bisects the base. They first supposed that it intersected to the right of the midpoint and derived a contradiction; then they said similarly assuming it intersected to the left would lead to a contradiction; therefore the only remaining possibility was that it intersected at the midpoint, q.e.d.
This bothered me. It seemed to me that they talked all around the midpoint, but that they hadn't actualy managed to target the bisector at the midpoint. True, I couldn't think of an alternative, but still.... I talked to my father about it -- after all, it was his book I had borrowed -- and he explained that there were no more alternatives so it had to be that one. I had already understood that argument and felt uneasy about it, but I couldn't really say what it was that bothered me. It was as if I thought the proof had to *make* the bisector reach the midpoint rather than just talking about what might happen to happen in various conterfactual situations, but at the age of about ten or twelve, I realy couldn't exress that. I decided to accept it provisionally in order to go on reading the book, which I had much fun doing.
(By the way, I looked this theorem up in Euclid a few days ago, and it turned out that Euclid had a constructive proof, except for failing to prove that the intersection point was actually in the triangle. Euclid often fails to prove this level of obvious proof. This kind of thing wasn't actually put in the axioms for geometry until approx 1900. (TODO: look for reference about this.)).
When I tell this tale to my children, they tell me I must have been bored out of my skull to have been reading that kind of stuff for fun. Well, I didn't have such a plethora of competing media in the 50's as we have now. I didn't even have access to a television. Maybe I would have turned out very different if I had grown up in the 00's this century instead.
Later. I read Rosenbloom; my father had bought a copy. I learned about Boolean algebra, predicate clculus, and heard about alternative logics for mathematics, such as intuitionism that rejected proof by contradiction, and such as negation-free logics. Not much was said about these, just enough to make me curious.
It wasn't until after my masters' degree in math that I encountered a notice about a conference on Intuitionism and Proof Theory, in 1968. I could have gone there on the way to starting my Phd studies at Waterloo, but I didn't. An opportunity missed.
It was at the University of Waterloo, in Fisher's course on computability theory, that I encountered my next nudge toward intuitionism. At the beginning of the course, to show how counterintuitive and tricky computability was, he announced that there was an algorithm for telling whether there were seven consecutive sevens in the decimal expansion of pi. I thought, interesting, I'd like to see that, until I saw his proof. He presented two algorithms, "print true" and "print false" and pointed out that there either were or were not seven consecutive sevens, and so one of these was correct. Therefore there was an algorithm, but I still had no way to figure out whether there were seven consecutive sevens.
I realised that this was indeed a proof, according the all the rules of logic I had learned hitherto. But it wsa profoundly unsatisfying, and failed to convince me. Instead it led me to a deep suspicion of the very rules of logic. There seemed to be no way to say what I meant by existence of such an algorithm that couldn't be subverted by a proof of this form.
From then on I tried to make sure that, whenever possible, I would use constructive proofs, just as a matter of explicitness. But I really wasn't a constructivist yet. Maybe a potential constructivist. Maybe a closet constructivist.
It wasn't till years later, at the Mathematical Centre in Amsterdam, that I made my next step. Amsterdam was a hotbed of intuitionism, and I had many chances to discuss these issues with Lambert Meertens, who understood constructivism and took it seriously. He explained how it made sense, how the constructive interpretation of the logical primitives could be explained in an informal metatheory. And that metathory was also constructive. He showed me how you could recognise that "not false" isn't necessarily "true" even though there is no third logical value that is neither true nor false. Intuitionism isn't a three-valued logic.
One day I was pondering these matters while walking outside the Academische Boekhandel near het Spui, a well-known canal, and I realised that intuitionistic logic was easy to justify using intuitionistic metareasoning, just as classical logic was easy to justify using classical metareasoning. And although each could be used to prove various well-behavedness theorems about the other, such proofs seemed overly complicated and unnatural.
In one way classical logic appears to be just a superset of intuitionistic -- you just drop proof by contradiction and a whole lot of theorems, so evidently you still have consistency. But this doesn't account for one controversial property of intuitionism -- that you could rely on any specific theorem having a proof, and that you could perform induction on the structure of that proof. This is used in proving, for example, the fan theorem. But because it was a controversial piece of constructive logic, one could kind of ignore it. Anyway, it's trivial to prove the fan theorem classically by a completely different method that doesn't use proof-induction.
In the other direction, it was possible to translate classical logic into constructive logic by the so-called double-negation interpretation. Statements were translated into statements, proofs into proofs, showing that classical logic was consistent relative to constructive. But it wasn't equivalent. There were lots and lots of contructive theorems that were never touched by this translation, so it almost seemed as if constructive logic was richer than classical, rather then being a cut-down version.
It took a while to realise that the real difference between classical and intuitionistic logic was the meaning of the logical operations. Intuitionistically, P or Q means that P is true or Q is true, and you can know which. Classically it just means that P is true or Q is true, even though there may be no way whatsoever of determining which.
But in the translation, lots of classical theorems become convoluted and unintuitive.
It's decades later; I'm still a constructivist. But I understand classical logic. It's perfectly valid, even to me, when talking about things about which one can in principle determine truth of falsity. Most finite situations are of this kind; in particular most practical problems in computer programming. It is after all the assumption that every assertion is true or false that distinguishes classicall reasoning. But when a classical mathematician goes on to talk about set theory with large cardinals and things of that sort, things for which they hypothesize new axioms for lack of a way to determine the truth value, I stand in awe of the results, much as one can stand in awe of a well-written fantasy novel.

Designs revealed for V&A East buildings by O'Donnell + Tuomey and Diller Scofidio + Renfro
Tom Ravenscroft | 2 November 2018 Leave a comment
London's V&A has released details of its plans for V&A East, a new outpost at the Olympic Park featuring a five-storey museum designed by O'Donnell + Tuomey and a research centre created by Diller Scofidio + Renfro.
V&A East is being developed at two sites within London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. A design museum is planned for Stratford Waterfront, while a collection and research centre will be built within the Hawkins\Brown-designed Here East complex.
O'Donnell + Tuomey's V&A East museum is designed as a stand-alone pavilion within the Olympicopolis development
The O'Donnell + Tuomey-designed museum will form part of the £1.3 billion Olympicopolis cultural quarter, which will include a Sadler's Wells Theatre, BBC studio, as well as London College of Fashion and University College London (UCL) campuses.
Visuals show an angular, multi-faceted structure with huge triangular windows.
"We imagine the building as a freestanding pavilion, closely connected to its surroundings, its faceted form active on all sides, easily accessible from different directions," said Sheila O'Donnell and John Tuomey, founders of O'Donnell + Tuomey.
The museum will have views across the Olympic Park
According to the V&A, the museum will "provide a panoramic view of the designed world". It will contain two galleries to showcase the museum's collections and have three outdoor terraces with views across the Olympic Park.
"Inside is a multi- level sequence of gallery spaces, connected by flowing stairs and big elevators, with display galleries and social spaces in between," continued O'Donnell and Tuomey.
Kengo Kuma unveils cliff-like V&A Dundee museum
"This vertically-organised museum will open up the diversity of the V&A collection to new audiences – accessible and welcoming, designed from the ground up and from the inside out."
One of the museum's gallery's will be jointly curated with the Smithsonian Institution, with the museum's inaugural exhibition in 2023 set to be the first co-production from the two institutions.
Diller Scofidio + Renfro's research centre will be placed within Here East. Image is by Diller Scofidio + Renfro
Around 10 minutes walk from the museum, Diller Scofidio + Renfro's research centre will be located within the former Olympic Broadcast Centre, now refurbished and renamed Here East.
It will house 250,000 objects from the V&A's fashion, textiles, furniture, painting, sculpture, ceramics, glass, design, architecture and digital collections.
The research centre will contain a space for performances and events. Image is by Diller Scofidio + Renfro
"V&A East will be a new model for collection storage and public display," said Elizabeth Diller, partner at Diller Scofidio + Renfro.
"Planned from the inside out, this project will be like stepping into an immersive cabinet of curiosities – a three-dimensional sampling of the eclectic collection of artefacts, programmed with diverse spaces for research, object study, workshops, and back-of-house functions."
The ceiling of the Altamira Palace near Toledo will be installed at the research centre. Image is by Diller Scofidio + Renfro
Also included in the centre will be several large-scale installations, including the plywood interior of an office designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1930s for Edgar J Kaufmann, and a 15th-century ceiling from the Altamira Palace near Toledo, Spain. These will sit above a new space for displays and events.
The V&A also recently opened an outpost in Dundee designed by Kengo Kuma. The architect described the building as "a conversation between nature and artefact" in an exclusive interview with Dezeen at the building's opening.

Each expression in C (an operator with its arguments, a function call, a constant, a variable name, etc) is characterized by two independent properties: a type and a value category.
Every expression belongs to one of three value categories: lvalue, non-lvalue object (rvalue), and function designator.
Lvalue expression is any expression with object type other than the type void, which potentially designates an object (the behavior is undefined if an lvalue does not actually designate an object when it is evaluated). In other words, lvalue expression evaluates to the object identity. The name of this value category ("left value") is historic and reflects the use of lvalue expressions as the left-hand operand of the assignment operator in the CPL programming language.
as the operand of the address-of operator (except if the lvalue designates a bit field or was declared register).
as the operand of the pre/post increment and decrement operators.
as the left-hand operand of the member access (dot) operator.
as the left-hand operand of the assignment and compound assignment operators.
If an lvalue expression is used in any context other than sizeof, _Alignof, or the operators listed above, non-array lvalues of any complete type undergo lvalue conversion, which models the memory load of the value of the object from its location. Similarly, array lvalues undergo array-to-pointer conversion when used in any context other than sizeof, _Alignof, address-of operator, or array initialization from a string literal.
The semantics of const/volatile/restrict-qualifiers and atomic types apply to lvalues only (lvalue conversion strips the qualifiers and removes atomicity).
A modifiable lvalue is any lvalue expression of complete, non-array type which is not const-qualified, and, if it's a struct/union, has no members that are const-qualified, recursively.
Only modifiable lvalue expressions may be used as arguments to increment/decrement, and as left-hand arguments of assignment and compound assignment operators.
Colloquially known as rvalues, non-lvalue object expressions are the expressions of object types that do not designate objects, but rather values that have no object identity or storage location. The address of a non-lvalue object expression cannot be taken.
As a special case, expressions of type void are assumed to be non-lvalue object expressions that yield a value which has no representation and requires no storage.
Note that a struct/union rvalue that has a member (possibly nested) of array type does in fact designate an object with temporary lifetime. This object can be accessed through lvalue expressions that form by indexing the array member or by indirection through the pointer obtained by array-to-pointer conversion of the array member.
A function designator (the identifier introduced by a function declaration) is an expression of function type. When used in any context other than the address-of operator, sizeof, and _Alignof (the last two generate compile errors when applied to functions), the function designator is always converted to a non-lvalue pointer to function. Note that the function-call operator is defined for pointers to functions and not for function designators themselves.

Q: Run java.exe through ProcessBuilder leads to application hanging? I have the following code:
    ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_111\\bin\\java", "-cp", "project_folder\\target\\classes", "package.ExternalProcess");
    Process p = pb.start();
    OutputStream processOutputStream = p.getOutputStream();
    IOUtils.write("1" + System.lineSeparator(), processOutputStream);
    InputStream processInputStream = p.getInputStream();
    System.out.println("--1--");
    System.out.println(process.isAlive()); // outputs true
    String result = IOUtils.toString(processInputStream, "UTF-8"); //<-- hangs here
    System.out.println("--2--");
    p.waitFor();
    System.out.println(result);

ExternalProcess source:
public class ExternalProcess {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        String input = null;
        try {
            input = br.readLine();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        System.out.println("processed[" + input + "]");
    }
}

The first code produces
--1--
true
and hangs on
How to correct program and why does it hangs on?
P.S.
When I just try to write
java -cp project_folder\target\classes package.ExternalProcess

from cmd it waiting when I write something to the console and returns expected result

A: The problem is buffering, in particular, buffering of Process.getOutputStream(). If I add:
processOutputStream.flush();

after:
IOUtils.write("1" + System.lineSeparator(), processOutputStream);

it works as expected. IOUtils.write writes to processOutputStream, which just saves the data in a buffer in the parent process, but the data isn't actually sent across the connection to the child process, so the child process hangs in br.readLine(), waiting for data that's never coming. The flush() call sends the data from the buffer in the parent to the child where it can be read.
(You can see in the javadocs for Process.getOutputStream() it says:

Implementation note: It is a good idea for the returned output stream to be buffered.

While that doesn't specifically say the standard implementation is buffered, it's reasonable to assume Oracle will follow their own implementation recommendations.)
If you don't want to have to call flush() after every write, you can wrap the OutputStream in a PrintStream with autoFlush on:
PrintStream processPrintStream = new PrintStream(processOutputStream, true);

Then instead of using IOUtils.write, just use the PrintStream methods:
processPrintStream.println("1");

Because autoFlush is on in the PrintStream, whenever one of the println methods is called (or a byte array or newline is written), the PrintStream calls flush() on the underlying OutputStream for you.

and behavioral inhibition (go/no-go) tasks. Cross-sectional age-related changes were seen on all 3 tasks. Gender differences were seen in IGT deck preference and attentional variables (i.e., go/no-go hit rate and forward digit span). After age, gender, and general intellectual abilities were controlled for, IGT performance was not predicted by working memory or behavioral inhibition scores. Findings suggest that the ventromedial prefrontal cortex or its connections are functionally maturing during adolescence in a manner that can be distinguished from maturation of other prefrontal regions. Development of these functions may continue into young adulthood. Intact functioning of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is thought to be necessary for many higher order cognitive functions, such as working memory, set shifting, behavioral inhibition, decision mak-ing, and cognitive control of behavior (e.g., Braver & Barch, 2002; Goldman-Rakic & Leung, 2002; Krawczyk, 2002). Many of these functions are deficient in young children but emerge in a gradual fashion from late infancy onward (Luciana, 2003). These behav-ioral developments may have a parallel in PFC maturation. Indeed, there is considerable evidence to suggest that the PFC continues to develop throughout adolescence and into early adulthood (Giedd et

This study tests the hypothesis that psychopathy-prone adolescents show reduced anticipatory skin conductance responding. Electrodermal activity was recorded while participants anticipated and re-sponded to a 105dB signaled or unsignaled white-noise burst. Using an extreme groups design, the authors used Child Psychopathy Scale (D. R. Lynam, 1997) scores from a community sample of 335 male adolescents (age 16) to form control (n 65) and psychopathy-prone (n 65) groups. Significantly more psychopathy-prone participants were nonresponders in the signaled anticipatory ( p .014), signaled responsivity ( p .037), and unsignaled responsivity ( p .003) conditions compared with controls. Anticipatory hyporesponsivity of psychopathy-prone adolescents similar to the electrodermal hyporesponsivity found in psychopathic adults suggests that this autonomic impairment is present by adolescence and may predispose individuals to adult psychopathy. The behavioral and criminal consequences of psychopathy may be the most remarkable and ostensibly harmful to society, but personality features are at the crux of the classic definition of the disorder (Arieti, 1967; Cleckley, 1964) and may hold the key to early identification and intervention. Personality is highly stable
Executive functions in preschool children with aggressive behavior: Impairments in inhibitory control

Abstract The question whether executive function (EF) deficits in children are associated with conduct problems remains controversial. Although the origins of aggressive behavior are to be found in early childhood, findings from EF studies in preschool children with aggressive behavior are inconsistent. The current study aimed to investigate whether preschool children with aggressive behavior show impairments in EF. From a population-based sample, 82 preschool children who were showing aggressive behavior as indicated by scores at or above the 93rd percentile on the Aggressive Behavior Scale of the CBCL 1 1/2-5 were selected. These children with aggressive behavior were matched on IQ to a group of typically developing control children (N=99). Six neuropsychological tasks were ad-ministered to assess set shifting, inhibition, working memory and verbal fluency. A factor analysis was conducted which yielded one clear factor: inhibition. Aggressive preschool children showed poorer performance on this inhibition factor than control children and boys performed worse on this factor than girls. This association between aggressive behavior and inhibition deficits was maintained after con-trolling for attention problems. In addition, gender differ-ences in all EFs measured were found with boys exhibiting more impairment in EF than girls. These findings demon-strate that preschool children with aggressive behavior show impairments in inhibition, irrespective of attention problems.
...sociated with ADHD, but also with conduct disorder (CD). In addition, children and adolescents with DBD have been found to show a dysfunction on EF tasks in which motivational processes are involved (=-=Blair et al. 2001-=-; Matthys et al. 1998, 2004; Van Goozen et al. 2004). In conclusion, EF impairments are to be expected in children and adolescents who show aggressive behavior disorders, irrespective of ADHD. It is u...
Autism spectrum disorder and psychopathy: Shared cognitive underpinnings or double hit

Background. We measured psychopathic traits in boys with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) selected for difficult and aggressive behaviour. We asked (i) whether psychopathic tendencies can be measured in ASD independent of the severity of autistic behaviour; (ii) whether individuals with ASD with callous–unemotional (CU) traits differ in their cognitive profile from those without such traits; and (iii) how the cognitive data from this study compare with previous data of youngsters with psychopathic tendencies. Method. Twenty-eight ASD boys were rated on psychopathic tendencies, autistic traits and a range of cognitive measures assessing mentalizing ability, executive functions, emotion recognition and ability to make moral–conventional distinction. Results. Our results indicate that psychopathic tendencies are not related to severity of ASD. In addition, such tendencies do not seem to be related to core autistic cognitive deficits, specifically in 'mind-reading ' or executive function. Boys with co-occurring ASD and CU tendencies share some behaviours and aspects of cognitive profile with boys who have psychopathic tendencies alone. Conclusions. Callous/psychopathic acts in a small number of individuals with ASD probably reflect a 'double hit ' involving an additional impairment of empathic response to distress cues, which is not part and parcel of ASD itself.

# The Author(s) 2010. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Of all psychiatric disorders, the disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) are the most likely to predispose to substance dependence (SD). One possible underlying mechanism for this increased vulnerability is risky decision making. The aim of this study was to examine decision making in DBD adolescents with and without SD. Twenty-five DBD adolescents (19 males) with SD (DBD+SD), 28 DBD adolescents (23 males) without SD (DBD-SD) and 99 healthy controls (72 males) were included in the study. DBD adolescents with co-morbid attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were excluded. Risky decision making was investigated by assessing the number of disadvantageous choices in the Iowa gambling task. DBD+SD made significantly more risky choices than healthy controls and DBD-SD. Healthy controls and DBD-SD did not differ on risky decision making. These results suggest that risky decision making is a vulnerability factor for the development of SD in a subgroup of adolescents with DBD without ADHD.

Intentions and emotions arise together, and emotions compel us to pursue goals. However, it is not clear when emotions become objects of awareness, how emotional awareness changes with goal pursuit, or how psychological and neural processes mediate such change. We first review a psychological model of emotional episodes and propose that goal obstruction extends the duration of these episodes while increasing cognitive complexity and emotional intensity. We suggest that attention is initially focused on action plans and their obstruction, and only when this obstruction persists does focal attention come to include emotional states themselves. We then model the self-organization of neural activities that hypothetically underlie the evolution of an emotional episode. Phases of emotional awareness are argued to parallel phases of synchronization across neural systems. We suggest that prefrontal activities greatly extend intentional states while focal attention integrates emotional awareness and goal pursuit in a comprehensive sense of the self in the world. 2 People and cats can stare vacantly out the window and watch the world go by: until

Abstract: Psychopaths are renowned for their immoral behavior. They are ideal candidates for testing the empirical plausibility of moral theories. Many think the source of their immorality is their emotional deficits. Psychopaths experience no guilt or remorse, feel no empathy, and appear to be perfectly rational. If this is true, sentimentalism is supported over rationalism. Here, I examine the nature of psychopathic practical reason and argue that it is impaired. The relevance to morality is discussed. I conclude that rationalists can explain the moral deficits of psychopaths as well as sentimentalists. In the process, I identify psychological structures that underpin practical rationality. Psychopathic individuals are perhaps best known for their flagrant disregard for social and moral norms. A number of psychopathologies are connected with violent and amoral behavior—such as schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder—but the profile of the psychopath is unique. Psychopaths are not subject to the profound disturbances of thoughts characteristic of these other conditions, but appear lucid and rational, yet peculiarly incapable of sustaining adult socialized

text: Q: Looking for synonyms for fitness enthusiast In my native language, there's a term for a person who works out and enjoys it, but does not incline towards extremes. Works out regularly, but in moderation, to stay healthy and also because they enjoy the process. No dictionary can help me with this. Fitness enthusiast is the best fit I could find so far by googling around this term, but doesn't it carry a slightly negative connotation, like a "fitness freak"? Do you have a positive word for this kind of a person in English?

Review: Darkest Hour Probes Depths of Political Courage
Sam Staley • Wednesday January 31, 2018 3:00 PM PST •
Darkest Hour probes the depths of political courage under overwhelming odds, focusing on the first few months of Winston Churchill's leadership as Prime Minister during World War II. The movie also presents a dilemma. On the one hand, Churchill experts have challenged the historical accuracy of several broad themes and characterizations (see here and here). On the other hand, the movie is excellent, in no small part to the stellar (and award-winning) performance of Gary Oldman (Harry Potter series, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) in the role of Churchill.
The specific events were real enough. Europe was collapsing under the weight of Hitler's military in 1940, including the occupations of Poland, Denmark, and Norway . The diplomatic tactics of Neville Chamberlain (Ronald Pickup, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The Time of Their Lives) had done little more than enable Hitler's boldness, prompting him to resign as Prime Minister. Churchill is recommended by Parliament as the compromise candidate. No one else seemed acceptable to the major parties. At the time, Churchill was the First Lord of the Admiralty, the politically appointed head of the Royal Navy.
Churchill, however, carried a lot of political baggage. A staunch advocate for the British Empire, he resisted self-government in India. He supported the abdication of Edward VIII from the English throne. He carried the responsibility for the fall of Norway to German occupation. He still hadn't shaken the political legacy of the disastrous military defeat at Gallipoli during World War I.
This context helps make Darkest Hour a compelling drama. After all, how did Churchill—the man who would become Time magazine's "Man of the Year" in 1940 and 1949—navigate all this history and political baggage to emerge Prime Minister?
Darkest Hour provides very little background on this long, circuitous journey and instead starts with the decision by Chamberlain to step down. The preferred replacement was Edward Wood, Lord Halifax (Stephen Dillane, Zero Dark Thirty, Game of Thrones, The Hours), a member of Parliament's House of Lords and foreign secretary. But he declined, and, in fact, believed Churchill was better suited by temperament to lead the nation in war. King George VI (Ben Mendelsohn, The Dark Knight Rises, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Mississippi Grind)) reluctantly does his duty and appoints Churchill Prime Minister to form a new government. On May 10, 1940, the day Germany invaded France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, Churchill assumed his official duties as head of the the U.K. government. Churchill forms his War Cabinet and includes both Halifax and Chamberlain despite their dovish positions on the war.
The meat of the story surrounds Churchill's leadership amid the tense infighting and virulent disagreements that brewed outside the public eye and within the War Cabinet. Britain's top elected officials and generals sparred heatedly whether to sue for peace with Hitler, before it was too late, or continue fighting even though defeat seemed inevitable. Chamberlain and Halifax pushed for peace while Churchill stubbornly insisted on continuing the fight. Moreover, Churchill deliberately misleads the British public about the war's progress to bolster public support. Churchill begins to waiver, however, as he rallies England for the evacuation of Dunkirk. He orders, against the advice of his War Cabinet, the annihilation of a section of the British Expeditionary Force trapped in Calais (France) as a diversionary tactic to aid the Dunkirk operation.
Darkest Hour, however, plays loose with history. Churchill advocates argue the movie does a disservice to the Prime Minister's bold leadership and decisive decision making during what was the lowest point of the war. Indeed, historically, Churchill was supported by many precisely because his leadership skills were seen as essential for carrying out the war. The creative attempts to convey the emotional toll of the island nation facing its "darkest" hour may have the effect of undermining Churchill's leadership role.
For example, the movie stages a scene in which Churchill, racked by doubt and uncertainty, escapes onto the London subway (the Underground) on his way make a major speech on the war to Parliament. As he interacts with common Londoners, he is emboldened by their resolve to continue the fight. The peace negotiations with Hitler are then projected as a compromise by political elites who, unlike Churchill, had lost faith in the English people. The entire scene is fabricated, and belies much of what is known, or at least commonly believed, about Churchill as a man and political leader. (Steven Hayward's Churchill on Leadership: Executive Success in the Face of Adversity is an excellent, readable counterbalance to the movie's fictional view of Churchill as Prime Minister.)
Nevertheless, the movie effectively conveys the desperation that gripped the United Kingdom under Hitler's relentless advances, what appeared to be an inevitable invasion of Britain, and the shear isolation of the country as the U.S. failed to come to its aid. Gary Oldman's performance is outstanding, as is the remainder of the cast including Kristin Scot Thomas (Sarah's Key, I've Loved You So Long, Gosford Park) as his supportive but straightforward wife Clementine, Ben Mendelsohn as King George VI, and Lily James (Baby Driver, The Exception, Downton Abbey) as the secretary who receives the brunt of Churchill's mercurial personality and enigmatic behavior.
Controversy and historical accuracy aside, Darkest Hour is a compelling reminder of the role courage and leadership play when facing overwhelming odds. Paired with 2017's earlier contribution to this period of England's history, Dunkirk, viewers may get a sense of just how close Europe was to complete capitulation to Hitler's totalitarian vision for the continent. Fortunately, in this case, freedom won. Just remember: Darkest Hour is a narrative film, not a documentary.

UPMC Stofman Plastic Surgery Group provides Eyelid Surgery to patients from Pittsburgh and the surrounding area.
For Eyelid Surgery, there are different options for anesthesia: local, as an office prodcedure, intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. During your initial consultation, our skilled surgeons will discuss which medications will work well for your particular procedure.
Incision lines for eyelid surgery are designed for scars to be well concealed within the natural structures of the eyelid region. Droopy conditions of the upper eyelid can be corrected through an incision within the natural crease of the upper eyelid allowing repositioning of fat deposits, tightening of muscles and tissue, and/or removal of excess skin.
Eyelid surgery may not be an option for dark circle removal under the eyes and in some cases may exacerbate the condition.
Your final results will appear within several weeks, but it may take months for incision lines to fully refine.


A $350 million "pop-up" stadium in a Brisbane field. Beach volleyball in front of San Francisco City Hall. Table tennis in Chinatown.
San Francisco is officially bidding on the 2024 Olympics, organizers have disclosed to The Chronicle, and their pitch for the Summer Games will focus on the Bay Area's distinctions, ingenuity and character.
"We have a lot of reverence for the Olympics ... but there may be some ways to modernize the Games or do it a little differently," said Giants President and CEO Larry Baer, who is leading the bid committee with venture capitalist Steve Strandberg and Olympic gold medal swimmer Anne Warner Cribbs.
Plenty of uncertainty remains, however, including whether improvements to housing, transportation and other infrastructure are worth the cost of hosting the Games.
Baer acknowledges that their effort is still in "the first inning," even after a months-long exploratory process that included meeting with U.S. Olympic officials in July.
Previous attempts to host the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Games fell short. This time around, San Francisco is competing against Los Angeles, Boston and Washington, D.C., for the backing of the U.S. Olympic Committee, which is expected to decide early next year whether to pursue the 2024 Olympics and which city to put forward.
If the U.S. Olympic Committee names a city, that candidate would face an international field of competitors. The International Olympic Committee is expected to name the host in 2017.
But there also are recurring questions about whether hosting the modern Olympics is even worth the expense.
The 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing are estimated to have cost $44 billion. Last winter's Games in Sochi, Russia, may have cost even more. Last month, Norway withdrew its bid for Oslo to host the 2022 Winter Games, following at least four other cities that dropped out. Munich was considering a bid for that Olympics, but decided against it after voters rejected the idea in a referendum.
Host cities or countries are often left with large, expensive venues that have little use after the Games have left town and depleted coffers from major transportation and infrastructure projects.
Mindful of those criticisms, the IOC this week released 40 recommendations to shape the future of the Olympic movement. Among them, an emphasis on reducing the bidding cost for cities, embracing sustainability and emphasizing the use of temporary or existing facilities.
Those points align with the San Francisco vision, which relies heavily on existing venues and temporary structures similar to some used in the London 2012 Summer Olympics.
San Francisco would be the official host city, but putting on the Games would be a regional undertaking. Organizers are looking to use venues like an expanded Moscone Center, the new Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, the Earthquakes' soccer stadium being built in San Jose and Stanford Stadium and Memorial Stadium at UC Berkeley, both recently upgraded.
The proposal for a "Coliseum City" in Oakland, including a new stadium for the Oakland Raiders, could also play a prominent role if that development gets built, Olympic bid organizers said.
The organizers want to build as the centerpiece a temporary stadium on part of a 540-acre parcel just west of Highway 101 along the Caltrain line in Brisbane known as the Baylands. It would hold the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, as well as track and field events.
The Brisbane property is owned by Universal Paragon Corp., which is planning to build office and research facilities as part of a new technology hub, along with an entertainment district, retail and housing. Local bid officials said they were in talks about using the property.
If San Francisco is awarded the Olympics, the current plan is to have the stadium built in the southern portion of the Baylands and then dismantled afterward and replaced with a park. Part of Lennar Urban's huge development at the nearby Hunters Point and Candlestick Point would provide the Olympic Village for athlete housing.
Private funding from international corporate sponsorships, ticket sales and local sponsorships would cover operating costs that Baer projected at about $4.5 billion.
"Some of this budget could potentially fund and accelerate projects that are in the pipeline for transportation links (and) housing," Baer said.
Public funds are anticipated to go toward transportation upgrades, including ones already planned, such as the electrification of the Caltrain line and extending it to the Transbay Transit Center now under construction.
"They don't know what they're talking about," Zimbalist said.
San Franciscans in recent history have been averse to shelling out public dollars for major sporting events. Last year's America's Cup was a boon to certain businesses but cost the city $11.5 million, and Mayor Ed Lee was unwilling to make the financial concessions regatta organizers sought to bring back the event.
Olympic bid leaders aren't touting the Games' economic benefits, but rather the ability to rally a region around tackling some of its major problems — transportation and housing — while improving San Francisco's marginalized southeast corner.
"The Olympic Games could give us the economic and civic will to do some things that maybe we should have done a while ago in terms of reconnecting parts of our city," Strandberg said.
They also just might inspire the next Anne Warner Cribbs, who won a swimming gold in the 1960 Olympics in Rome at age 16.

Donor honors her mother through support of groundbreaking tool to aid in early detection of ovarian cancer.
For several years, Dipanjan Chowdhury, PhD, chief of the Division of Radiation and Genome Stability at Dana-Farber, has been working to improve early detection tools for ovarian cancer. Often referred to as a "silent" disease, ovarian cancer is typically asymptomatic in its earliest, most treatable stages. As a result, most women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer when it is at an advanced stage, at which point only about a quarter of patients will survive for at least five years.
For Veronica de Piante Vicin, these statistics are personal. Her late mother, Ana Maria Lolla, faced advanced ovarian cancer twice in her lifetime, and the disease unfortunately runs in the family. Her mother was treated overseas, with consultations from the Dana-Farber care team, and during this time, de Piante Vicin resolved herself to helping spare others from the pain of ovarian cancer if she could.
When Ana Maria ultimately passed away in 2014, that desire to help grew stronger. And when de Piante Vicin was introduced to Chowdhury and his research at Dana-Farber, she knew right away that she wanted to get involved. In 2016, she established the Ovarian Cancer Early Detection Fund in honor of Ana Maria Lolla.
"Dipanjan is just so passionate. He really believes he is going to get there," said de Piante Vicin. "He believes he'll actually get the results that are needed to help so many women."
Chowdhury and his colleagues discovered a specific set of 14 circulating microRNAs (miRNAs)—a type of molecule that helps cells control the kinds and amounts of proteins they make—in the blood of ovarian cancer patients. Over the last few years, his team has been using this knowledge to develop a highly sensitive blood test that can detect early-stage disease.
"Ovarian cancer detected early is more curable, so the development of accurate and sensitive tests is an enormous priority for high-risk families," said Chowdhury, who also serves as co-director of the Center for BRCA and Related Genes at Dana-Farber. "We have seen tremendous progress over the last few years, and that's thanks in large part to supporters like Veronica who believe in this work and what it could mean for countless women."
Early detection is a major priority of The Dana-Farber Campaign, and Chowdhury's research is the kind of approach that could make that goal a reality. But the faith that de Piante Vicin has in Chowdhury as a person represents what makes Dana-Farber so special to so many: the brilliant, compassionate people behind the mission.
"There's a positivity about Dipanjan that's infectious, that's tangible, and my mother had the same positivity, even throughout treatment," said de Piante Vicin. "I think she would be immensely proud to know that it's in her name and that this test could avoid a lot of the pain. She'd be very, very happy."


Yea I know, the video is awful and there is wayy too much algae in the tank.
Best part is I havent lost a single fish in the 8-9 months the tank has been set up. Thinking about making one of the racks in the fishroom marine.
Not by your mad video skills... hehe, but the tank and fish look great!

Colossians 4:5–6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Christine has been recognized by the Missouri House of Representative for outstanding civil service in the state of Missouri. She is an advocate for Mental Health Champions.
Human trafficking is a topic that has been making its way into the mainstream over the last several years. The awareness of this issue is greatly rising, and that is certainly good. As awareness about human trafficking and other marginalized populations—such as the homeless, addicted, and mentally ill—has risen, so has the impulse to address these real problems. People want to know how to help. They want to make a difference.
I have read a number of books about how to help the homeless, the commercially exploited, the prostituted, and those generally marginalized. Some have been written by authors who share their own journey out of these places of darkness and hopelessness. The majority, however, have not.
Most of the literature that exists in this field fails to inform and educate people from an insider perspective. The authors of most of these books do not write from personal experience. They haven't felt the desperation of trying to find something to grasp hold of to continue living. They haven't faced the barriers put up by service providers that prevent them from receiving services. They haven't experienced the social and spiritual disenfranchisements that can occur. While they are well–meaning, I haven't found these particular books accurate in their depictions, nor were their "helping" suggestions all that helpful.
The need for something more true–to–life has stirred in my heart. It is something I have prayed about often. Perhaps a book on this subject should be written by someone who has walked in the very shoes of those we are trying to help. If we can see and understand the journeys the forgotten and overlooked have walked, then we can better understand the rejection, hurt, and struggles they face when people attempt to reach out to them.
And so I find myself writing this book, sharing pieces of my journey and the stories of others I encountered on my journey, to help the world better understand the thoughts, feelings, and struggles of those who have been exploited and marginalized in our society.
Be thankful every day. Show your thankfulness to others with appreciation for them. Give thanks to God every day for what He provides for you. Count your blessings instead of your wants. A thankful heart is a happy heart.
I start each day by giving thanks for what I have & thanks for moments in my life. Having a thankful heart sure makes my days a lot better. Be happy & content with what you have & where you currently are in life. It could always be worse.
Have a thankful week my friends!!!
Be thankful & enjoy this day God has given you. So many reasons to be happy & thankful. That's where your focus should be. It's definitely gonna be a good day!
Ecclesiastes 2:24 There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat & drink & find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God.
Someone who is thankful will be more blessed than someone who feels entitled. Someone who is thankful is more pleasant to be around. Someone who is thankful attracts the right people. Someone who is thankful leads a happier life. Be thankful.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Know Your Gym's Mission Pt. 3
It's not just about what you think the identity of your gym or fitness center should be. It's more than that. It matters what all of the other people think: the employees, contractors and other stakeholders. The way to guide their understanding is by having a clearly stated, present-focused, mission statement.
This is another in the set of articles I've been writing about values, vision and your mission. The overarching theme here is getting your business to work as smoothly as possible and for this trifecta to become a shared idea.
My exact point here, is to have a statement of your present mission, so that everyone knows what they should be doing on a daily basis. You can never assume that the people around you, the staff and trainers you employ, really know what it is that they are supposed to be doing.
The Mission Statement Differentiated
Don't assume that your people know the big picture or what is actually their place in it. In the second part of this blog series I wrote about the vision statement and how that can guide you on the path as a point of focus in the future. They appear to be very similar. So, what's the difference between the two?
Do your employees understand your gym's values, mission, and vision?
Mission Statement — What you are doing today.
The mission statement should clearly state the service that you provide, how you are to provide it and for whom you should provide it. The clearest, simplest way you can state it is always the best way.
Vision Statement — What you ultimately want your enterprise to do.
It's really important to have a clear and differentiated expression of both mission and vision. They are essential for your business to function as a well-rounded and organized business culture. The impact of their presence, or lack, can be felt throughout the structure of your organization.
The company Orangetheory Fitness provides an example of a fitness related mission statement. It is present-focused, knows the people it is supposed to serve and relates directly to the values of the organization.
Gym Management Battleground
If your operation is running smoothly and the staff works like a team, there is probably a good general understanding of the mission. If there are conflicts and clashes then there might be crossed purposes, in the form of differing ideas of the mission and of personal agendas getting in the way. The flow, or lack of it, that goes with the alignments or divisions is the result of how well your people understand their places within the mission.
Another thing to consider is that it's better to do this early in the business life rather than later. You might think that it would be something to put off until you have grown into a larger enterprise. I would advise against that, for the simple reason that the larger the business, the more likely it will be run by committee. The more factions that have to buy into a decision to make it happen, the more internal politics is going to make it difficult to do.
Define your company culture early.
Expressing Intent in The Present Tense
The best thing to do is put your stamp on the company culture and do it while you still can. The more people you bring in the tougher it will be to do. But if new hires come into a company culture that already has a clear statement of the mission, the more easily they will be able to accept that mission and make it their own. If you haven't addressed values, vision and mission yet, I would strongly suggest you do it now and do it right.

The Street division is responsible for the construction, repair and maintenance of 90 miles of municipal streets and 17 miles of alleys, also storm drainage and street sweeping. The division repairs all signs, city owned traffic signals, curb and gutter and driveways. New driveway aprons require a $40.00 driveway permit, which can be obtained at the Public Works office.
Residential roll-outs are collected once per week at the street or alley. Collection days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Each residential home is provided with one 96 gallon roll-out cart. Each additional cart may be purchased for $49.50, and an additional annual fee of $204.50. Small businesses may purchase a roll-out for $49.50 plus a monthly fee of $17.05.
Public Works defines refuse as yard waste, limbs, shrubs, leaves, grass clippings, white goods, brown goods and junk. These items are to be placed at the streets and alleys for collection on the same day as the roll-out cart. For collection services of refuse over the minimum load, and for such items as construction and building materials, the Public Works Department will charge a fee of $10.00 - $35.00, depending on the truck size, plus the cost of disposal at the county landfill. Please call the office for scheduling of this service.
The Public Works Department maintains the City Cemetery. The existing cemetery is made up of 17 acres, and an additional 20 acres expansion is in the future. The cemetery services and fees are available upon calling (252) 533-2846.


Since Cordova versions 1.5+ the cordova.plist file has been replaced with the config.xml that you find in the root directory of your Cordova project. This is where you set the configuration property to inform iOS to disable web view bouncing.
Instead of editing a plist file in XCode, instead we will add the configuration to the /your-project/config.xml file. Open this file with a text editor and add the line to the end of the <widget> block, before the final </widget>.
Now rebuild the iOS application from the terminal.
When you next run the application in XCode on a simulator or device, the bouncing problem will be solved.


Every owner knows that innovation is vital to building and maintaining water and wastewater infrastructure. If you're looking at design-build delivery, you're already moving in the right direction. Design-bid-build siloes engineers, contractors and owners in traditional roles. Design-build teams achieve a better final product with higher value and greater innovation, because engineers, builders and owners are given the agility to collaborate in an integrated process.
United Water New Jersey was facing a number of challenges: growing consumer demand, new stringent drinking water regulations from the New Jersey Department of Environment Protection, taste and odor issues in the treated drinking water, and aging water treatment plant equipment.
Prior to 2008, the city of Dania Beach, Fla., USA, had exceeded the capacity of its nanofiltration plant on several occasions, requiring the city to purchase water. Additionally, while the city had always complied with increasingly stringent disinfectant by-product (DBP) rules, monitored DBP levels in the distribution system were higher than the city desired. To meet increased drinking water demands and improve finished water quality, the city partnered with Water Design-Build Council member CDM Smith on a new treatment process-based expansion that integrates with the city's existing 3-mgd lime stabilization water treatment plant.
Congratulations to the new executive leadership team at Water Design Build Council member CDM Smith!


This week marks a historic event for our fraternity. For the first time since its dedication on October 27, 1928, the Gamma Chapter at 401 East Daniel is starting anew. I am excited to bring you the first photos in what will be a weekly publication on the progress of our restoration. I want to first take this opportunity to introduce a few of the key players. I am T.J. Blakeman '99 and I will be your eyes and ears on the ground at Gamma during the course of the project. Our team is led by Chris Disher '77. Our general contractor is Hibernian Development of Chicago and they are led by their principal owners Peter Dinneen and Niall Brophy. We have contracted with Ratio Architects of Champaign and the primary architects overseeing the project are Bill Devine and Ed Scopel. Together our development team has been hard at work for over two years to bring you the house you are about to witness being built. Thank you for your continued involvement and enjoy this time.... it is a very good day to be a man of Alpha Kappa Lambda.

Terre Haute, Ind. — With 4.9 seconds left in the fourth quarter and the game tied, the Drake Bulldogs' Sara Rhine stood at the free-throw line.
Down by 12 at the beginning of the fourth quarter against the Indiana State Sycamores, the Bulldogs' perfect record of 45 straight wins in the Missouri Valley Conference was on the line.
Rhine made both of her free throws to give her team their first lead since the second quarter.

With 0.8 seconds left, Indiana State's Daijah Smith was fouled and given the opportunity to send the game into overtime.
She missed both of her free throws and the Drake women extended their record to 46 straight conference wins. The Bulldogs remain first in the MVC with a 6-0 record
Undaunted by their third-quarter deficit, Drake propelled their comeback by starting the fourth with a 7-0 run that began with guard Becca Hittner hitting a three and the Bulldogs forcing back-to-back turnovers.
Rhine brought the team that was once down by 15 back within two points with a layup a the 5:13 mark. Maddie Monahan then tied the game.
It was fitting that Rhine sealed the game with her free throws as she led the Bulldogs in scoring with 19 points with seven of 10 field goals made. She was followed by Hittner who scored 15 points on 6-16 shooting and Sammie Bachrodt who scored 12 points with three of four shots made.
Indiana State was led by guard Alexis Delgado with 16 points on 5-12 shooting. She was closely followed by forward Ty Battle, who scored 15 points on 5-7 shooting, and Daijah Smith, who scored 14 points on 4-8 shooting.
The Bulldogs next face the Evansville Purple Aces on the road at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
