"Preparatory to anything else Mr Bloom brushed off the greater bulk of the shavings and handed Stephen the hat and ashplant and bucked him up generally in orthodox Samaritan fashion, which he very badly needed. His (Stephen's) mind was not exactly what you would call wandering but a bit unsteady" (U16.1)
"and on his expressed desire for some beverage to drink Mr Bloom, in view of the hour it was and there being no pumps of Vartry water available for their ablutions, let alone drinking purposes," (U16.5)
"hit upon an expedient by suggesting, off the reel, the propriety of the cabman's shelter, as it was called, hardly a stonesthrow away near Butt bridge" (U16.7)
"where they might hit upon some drinkables in the shape of a milk and soda or a mineral. But how to get there was the rub." (U16.8)
"For the nonce he was rather nonplussed but inasmuch as the duty plainly devolved upon him to take some measures on the subject he pondered suitable ways and means during which Stephen repeatedly yawned. So far as he could see he was rather pale in the face so that it occurred to him as highly advisable to get a conveyance of some description which would answer in their then condition, both of them being e.d.ed, particularly Stephen, always assuming that there was such a thing to be found. Accordingly after a few such preliminaries as brushing, in spite of his having forgotten to take up his rather soapsuddy handkerchief after it had done yeoman service in the shaving line, they both walked together along Beaver street or, more properly, lane as far as the farrier's and the distinctly fetid atmosphere of the livery stables at the corner of Montgomery street where they made tracks to the left from thence debouching into Amiens street round by the corner of Dan Bergin's." (U16.11).
"But as he confidently anticipated there was not a sign of a Jehu plying for hire anywhere to be seen except a fourwheeler, probably engaged by some fellows inside on the spree, outside the North Star hotel and there was no symptom of its budging a quarter of an inch when Mr Bloom, who was anything but a professional whistler, endeavoured to hail it by emitting a kind of a whistle, holding his arms arched over his head, twice.
This was a quandary but, bringing common sense to bear on it, evidently there was nothing for it but.put a good face on the matter and foot it which they accordingly did." (U16.24)
"So, bevelling around by Mullet's and the Signal House, which they shortly reached, they proceeded perforce in the direction of Amiens street railway terminus," (U16.33)
"they proceeded perforce in the direction of Amiens street railway terminus," (U16.34)
"Mr Bloom being handicapped by the circumstance that one of the [lost] back buttons of his trousers had, to vary the timehonoured adage, gone the way of all buttons though, entering thoroughly into the spirit of the thing, he heroically made light of the mischance. So as neither of them was particularly pressed for time, as it happened, and the temperature refreshing since it cleared up after the recent visitation of Jupiter Pluvius, they dandered along past by where the empty vehicle was waiting without a fare or a jarvey." (U16.35)
"As it so happened a Dublin United Tramways Company's sandstrewer happening to be returning and the elder man recounted to his companion á propos of the incident his own truly miraculous escape of some little while back. They passed the main entrance of the Great Northern railway station, the starting point for Belfast, where of course all traffic was suspended at that late hour and passing the backdoor of the morgue (a not very enticing locality, not to say gruesome to a degree, more especially at night) ultimately gained the Dock Tavern and in due course turned into Store street, famous for its division police station." (U16.42)
"Between this point and the high, at present unlit, warehouses of Beresford Place Stephen thought to think of Ibsen, associated with Baird's, the stonecutter's, in his mind somehow in Talbot Place, first turning on the right, while the other, who was acting as his fidus Achates, inhaled with internal satisfaction the smell of James Rourke's city bakery, situated quite close to where they were," (U16.51)
"the very palatable odour indeed of our daily bread, of all commodities of the public the primary and most indispensable. Bread, the staff of life, earn your bread, O tell me where is fancy bread? At Rourke's the baker's, it is said.
En route to his taciturn and, not to put too fine a point on it, not yet perfectly sober companion Mr Bloom who at all events was in complete possession of his faculties, never more so, in fact disgustingly sober, spoke a word of caution re the dangers of nighttown, women of ill fame and swell mobsmen, which, barely permissible once in a while though not as a habitual practice, was of the nature of a regular deathtrap for young fellows of his age particularly if they had acquired drinking habits under the influence of liquor" (U16.56)
"unless you knew a little juijitsu for every contingency as even a fellow on the broad of his back could administer a nasty kick if you didn't look out." (U16.67)
Japanese martial arts became popular with the Japanese prominence during the Russo-Japanese war. This ad is from Pearson's Magazine (1905)
"Highly providential was the appearance on the scene of Corny Kelleher when Stephen was blissfully unconscious but for that man in the gap turning up at the eleventh hour the finis might have been that he might have been a candidate for the accident ward or, failing that, the bridewell and an appearance in the court next day before Mr Tobias or, he being the solicitor rather, old Wall, he meant to say, or Mahony which simply spelt ruin for a chap when it got bruited about. The reason he mentioned the fact was that a lot of those policemen, whom he cordially disliked, were admittedly unscrupulous in the service of the Crown and, as Mr Bloom put it, recalling a case or two in the A division in Clanbrassil street, prepared to swear a hole through a ten gallon pot." (U16.69)
"Never on the spot when wanted but in quiet parts of the city, Pembroke road for example, the guardians of the law were well in evidence, the obvious reason being they were paid to protect the upper classes. Another thing he commented on was equipping soldiers with firearms or sidearms of any description liable to go off at any time which was tantamount to inciting them against civilians should by any chance they fall out over anything." (U16.79)
"You frittered away your time, he very sensibly maintained, and health and also character besides which the squandermania of the thing," (U16.85)

We'll be posting some of the cool pictures posted by fellow fans who were in attendance at the show. It was apparently quite difficult for our beloved East Coasters to fly out to the West Coast for a variety of very understandable reasons (many thanks to the ECrs who did).
Many stayed up late to catch the live updates and tweet about the night. We quickly saw that "Plaid is Back." Roland sported one of his cool plaid shirts from his swank wardrobe and Curt wore a stylish Ben Sherman t-shirt which has been recognised by the Ben Sherman brand on several occasions. Live updates showed many travel fans and loyalists from the West Coast doing their 'Soldiers of Sound' duty. KT, KZ and some new people peppered social media with great shots which were tweeted and highlighted by our travel fan account @papasfans and posted to our corresponding FB page. Band favourites like 'Head Over Heels' and 'Shout' were included in the set list of course.
Absent fans expressed their sadness of not being there as this was a sold out show with tickets being swept up by the venue's mailing list members and third party vendors. We're so grateful for our fans on-the-ground taking pictures and relaying the magic that is Tears for Fears for all to enjoy.
Many thanks to the band for their time!

tears my heart out and tears are flowin freely as another concert passes by me.. One concert in 2011 was just a teaser when your this hooked and feel such sadness in , shall I say 'my cockles'??


I'm and experienced Hypno-Band practitioner, having used the program for five years. I work in my consulting rooms at Clipsham LE157SE , or The Feathers Holistic Centre, Deeping St James. Home visits can be arranged for those who sign up for the whole program. Most of my clients have achieved sustained weight loss and changed their eating habits forever!
People suffering with Diabetes have done particularly well, with blood glucose tests showing steady improvement as the weight comes off. The medical professionals supporting them are delighted!
My clients stop snacking after the first session and they feel so, so good. Their lives chance completely in 6-8 weeks. They acquire the eating habits of a slim person. They do this without dieting, although they do cut right back on bread, white rice, pasta and potatoes. They are happy to eat small portions of healthy nutritious food.
Have a look at this Video It explains the whole Hypno-band process.
In your first session we will look at the feelings you have which cause you to over-eat. This enables me to customize the program to fit your precise needs. The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in determining the success of the treatment. So if our first session goes well the chances of achieving sustained weight loss are very high indeed.
There are four main sessions, session three being the "hypno-band operation" itself. Each one lasts about an hour and costs £95 (£360 if all four sessions are paid in advance). You will be given some "homework" to do, on your own, between sessions. This takes the form of a CD which you must listen to several times before the next session.
You will start to lose weight after the first of the four sessions, because your eating habits will have changed. You will continue to lose weight between sessions. By the time you have completed session four you will be losing about three pounds a week. The change in you will be amazing to see. You will feel calm and confident and you will continue to lose weight.
If you want to know how well the Hypno-band program will work for you, please enter your details below (this information is held in absolute confidence and will not be disclosed to any third party).
Will it work for you? Results in 24 hours.
How worried are you about your health?
How likely are you to gain the same amount of weight in the next 12 months?

Aerostar will pay a further
estimated $550 million over the
40-year lease. This includes an
annual lease payment of $2.5
million for the first five years of the
contract, 5 percent of gross airport
revenues during the following
25 years, and 10 percent of gross
airport revenues during the final
10 years of the lease. Aerostar has
also agreed to a significant $1.2
billion capital plan that covers the
remodeling and renovation of the
terminal facilities. Since then, a
number of other airport P3 projects
have been active:
These projects (discussed in
detail below), while significant in
scope, do not involve a private party
taking over the operation of an
entire airport, thus avoiding some
of the regulatory hurdles that have
hampered airport P3s in the past.
LaGuardia Airport Central
Terminal Project
The ongoing LaGuardia Airport Central Terminal Building P3 project is sponsored by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey.
It involves the replacement of the
existing Terminal B, which opened
in 1964, with a new, state-of-the-art
airport facility, as well as various
other airport improvements. In
June, the New York Transportation
Development Corp. issued $2.3
billion of tax-exempt bonds and
$150 million of taxable bonds to partially finance the project. This was the largest bond financed P3 so far in the U.S.
The project is being undertaken by the private sector LaGuardia Gateway Partners (LGP), a joint venture made up of Vantage Airport Group, Skanska ID and Meridiam.
LGP was selected by the port authority after a lengthy competitive procurement process. The port authority and LGP have executed a P3 lease agreement, which runs through December 2050.

As you get ready for the Application and Interview preparation, we encourage you to actively research all the coaching providers, including us. We don't want you to pay us without talking to us. So pick up the phone and call/text/WhatsApp.
Many IMGs unfortunately don't do enough due diligence and are scammed by companies looking to make quick money playing on the IMGs' fears, shyness and lack of knowledge of the process or their red flags.
You should plan to ask us and others the following questions at the minimum.
Start by checking how transparent the company is. Ask questions like "Which physicians do you have on your panel? Who will be guiding me? Where do they work? Are you a physician?" Many companies brand themselves as being run by some doctor "X" or "Y". Don't fall for it. Make sure the "Dr. Who" does not take you for a ride.
We at USMLEsarthi take pride in transparency. Unlike some other companies, our panel members' details are available on the website- their undergraduate college, residency training, fellowship details and where they work. As you are evaluating us and our competitors, be sure to ask them similar details. Chances are they won't provide any!
This is one of the most important factors you should consider. Don't be fooled by the marketing gimmicks. Ask each company the names of their recent alumni who matched - talk to them, get their feedback & satisfaction. You will get a clear picture of the quality of guidance, the duration of attention, the resources you will be able to access.
We understand the resource constraints that IMGs face - dividing their funds between observerships, externships, living expenses and exam fees. We strive to offer very affordable plans depending on your needs. You should compare the exact features and prices to those of the competition and you will quickly realize how others are exorbitantly overpriced.
You don't want to pay thousands of dollars for a week's worth of classes. If you are like other IMGs, you want support and guidance regularly up to Match Week. Find out who will be your point person. Do they have only email support? How long do they take to return your call, if at all? Do they answer your questions effectively? Are they "All Talk, No Action"?
Our team is always available on email, Facebook, call/text and WhatsApp. We run a closed group on WhatsApp for all our students and are always available to answer your queries. This group is led by our panel members and welcomes all our students in need of help or support.
This is a long, hard and tiring journey and many students prefer a group to discuss their doubts, questions or ask clarification and simply to make friends for support. Our students had a great time while interviewing together in many programs. Peer groups are important part of our students' success. Groups are not limited to the classes you will have. Our closed Whatsapp group is a vibrant platform where for the entire journey you will learn from and share ideas with IMGs of different backgrounds- more than 10 countries, recent graduates, those will home country residencies, older graduates, US Citizens and so on. With our family growing, you will meet our alumni when you go to their programs for interviews.
Ask us, as you should ask other companies, if they have anything similar.
Why do you need to take a course for interview preparation? At USMLEsarthi, you will not be simply taught a course. You will be guided through the whole process with us being your sarthi. Interviews are a critical point in your journey to residency. You receive interview invitations based on your scores, academics, clinical experience and the way you present your CV and Personal Statement. But, in order to be ranked NRMP shows evidence that the top most important factors are interview skills, interview skills and interview skills. Did I mention interpersonal skills? Well, that is part of the interview day!
At USMLESarthi, you will be given guidance throughout the process by our physicians. You will be given support by our group of peers. Most of your interaction with the physicians will be one on one with the exception of didactics which will be done in groups. We are here to help you ace your interviews and match into residency!


Tucked in at the end of the shopping craze spurred on by Thanksgiving, Giving Tuesday celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy. Highly dependent upon social media and the power of a hashtag, non-profits worldwide are supported through businesses, organizations and the communities they impact. With a 57-year-long tradition of fundraising within Federal workplaces, the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) has raised over $8 billion for charitable organizations in 36 CFC zones across the world-- they're clearly doing something right. In addition to the relentless marketing that most of us experienced while we were on active duty, the social media marketing campaign developed by the CFC helps promote the deserving non-profits that are eligible for donations, most of which ultimately impact the military and veteran communities.
With a digital campaign meant to be accessible anywhere in the world, it seems only fitting that Facebook's activist nature finds a way to fill the demand and make donating even more accessible. In 2017, 473,000 people donated to over 46,000 organizations-- 75% of whom were first-time donors. For the organizations that benefit the veteran and military community, those funds cover everything from the cost of a new home or training a service dog, to helping a veteran suit up to transition into a civilian workplace.
In case you weren't already thinking of donating on #GivingTuesday, maybe Facebook or the Gates Foundation will inspire you. Facebook is eliminating their 5% processing fee for the day, in hopes that their total from digital donors exceeds the $45 million processed last year. Both Facebook and the Gates Foundation are also matching donations: their cap is $2 million with $1,000 max per individual fundraiser page and $50,000 per non-profit. Both the fee elimination and gift matching begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. (EST).
Many companies also match their employees' donations, check here to see if yours is one of them.
Which leaves only one question, on the largest day of giving, which organization will you choose?
The campaign season started September 10 and runs through January 11, 2019. Funds raised in that time benefit eligible nonprofit organizations that provide health and human service benefits throughout the world.
For a breakdown of organizations to safely donate to through the Combined Federal Campaign (and vetted by Charity Navigator), click here. To find local organizations campaigning near you, click here.


Dad: Johnny, what did you learn in catechism today?
Johnny: We learned about gays.
Dad (alarmed): What? What did they tell you about gays?
Johnny: What does that mean?
Dad: The catechism says gays are "intrinsically disordered. In-trin-si-ca-lly.
Dad: That means fundamentally disordered. Very seriously disordered. The Church teaches that what gays do is very seriously disordered.
Johnny: What do they do?
Dad: They do disgusting things that you're too young to know about.
Johnny (wide-eyed): Really? (pauses to think about this) Really bad things?
Dad: Yes, very bad. Evil things.
Dad: Sometimes it means "sick," too.
Johnny: I think I get it. Like the zombies in the movies. (pause) Dad? I think there are some gay kids at school.
Dad: I don't think so. We chose your school very carefully.
Johnny: But Mikey says Charlie Cox is gay. And Susie has two moms and no dad. Maybe she's gay too.
Dad (pensively): I see…. Well, you just leave this to me and your mom. Don't worry about it.
Johnny: But what should I do if they talk to me?
Dad: Just stay away from them.
Johnny (making an angry face): But Mikey and I can fight them and make them sorry!
Dad: No, Son, the Church teaches that you should love them.
Johnny: Love them? But Dad, you just told me they were sick and mean and horrible. Like zombies.
Dad: I know, son, but you have to try.
Johnny (looking confused): Do you love them?
Dad: Well, … not exactly. But … Look, Johnny, I think it's your bedtime. Now, off you go, and I don't want to hear anything more about this.
This amazing video from The Thinking Atheist may help us understand why Richard Dawkins calls religious indoctrination of the young a form of child abuse. Progressive Christians may see this depiction as an exaggeration, and it certainly applies to some faith groups more than others. However, it corresponds very closely to my own childhood experience of indoctrination, and I've no doubt millions of others would recognize it as well.


This volume analyses, from a computational point of view, how culture may arise, develop and evolve through time. The four sections in this book examine and analyse the modelling of culture, group and organisation culture, culture simulation, and culture-sensitive technology design.
Different research disciplines have different perspectives on culture, making it difficult to compare and integrate different concepts and models of culture. By taking a computational perspective this book nevertheless enables the integration of concepts that play a role in culture, even though they might originate from different disciplines.
Culture is usually regarded as something vague and qualitative and thus difficult to deal with in a computational and formal setting. Taking a computational approach to culture thus encompasses a twofold risk: taking a too simplistic approach to cultural influence on behaviour; or trying to capture too much, hence not leading to useful computational tools. However, the approaches and insights in this collection show how different perspectives by leading researchers described in thirteen chapters still can form a coherent picture. The book thus illustrates the potential of using computing systems to better understand culture.
By describing methods, theories and concrete application results about the integration of cultural aspects into computer systems, this book provides inspiration to researchers of all disciplines alike and presents the start of an interdisciplinary dialogue on culture.

Campaign highlight: b Persei
Some of the best opportunities for contributing to astronomical research come through the AAVSO's Observing Campaigns, which are observing projects requested by individual researchers with a specific goal in mind. Some Campaigns are designed to last for a long time, and the results aren't known until well after the campaign concludes. But some campaigns pay off immediately. Our campaign on the bright star b Persei is an example of the latter, with a handful of AAVSO observers getting exactly the right data, at the right time, right away!
The bright star, b Persei is a known triple system. The inner pair of stars are locked in a close orbit about one another, with an orbital period under two days. They're close enough that they exhibit ellipsoidal variations, and precise photometry (1-2 percent) can detect the rapid, sinusoidal variation of this pair. But it wasn't clear what the third star in the system was doing. Optical interferometry by Robert Zavala at the US Naval Observatory and Jason Sanborn of Lowell Observatory clearly showed the third component in the system, and also suggested a possible eclipse of the inner pair every 700 days. AAVSO observer Don Collins (Professor Emeritus, Warren-Wilson College) has consistently observed this system over the past few years beginning with a DSLR camera, and contributed to the observations of the 2013 eclipse. Continuing observations by Collins with a CCD camera have developed an up-to-date light curve for the ellipsoidal variation of b Persei. Collins, Sanborn, and Zavala presented these results at the 2014 joint AAVSO/SAS meeting in preparation for the predicted January 2015 eclipse. In AAVSO Alert Notice 507, we issued a request for observations of b Persei on their behalf, in hopes of catching it in the act of eclipsing.
The results of the AAVSO campaign are already in, and they are spectacular! Six different AAVSO observers obtained data during the two and a half days that the system was in eclipse, including all of the eclipse ingress and part of the egress. The participation of the world-wide community was critical to obtain data at multiple longitudes, filling in important parts of the light curve. Collins used out-of-eclipse data from six different AAVSO observers to determine zero-point offsets for everyone to create the eclipse light curve shown below. The solid red line is the predicted light variation of the inner pair, and the data between JD 2457033 and 7036 clearly show an eclipse of nearly two-tenths of a magnitude. Collins, Zavala, and team member Jason Sanborn (Lowell Observatory) are now analyzing the photometry and developing models that explain what the observers saw, but we can already say that the observing campaign was a clear success, thanks to the AAVSO community.
AAVSO Observers data showing the eclipse of b Persei beginning on JD 2457033 (January 10, 2015). The solid red line is the model light curve for the ellipsoidal variation. All observers were normalized to the same zero-point based on their measurements of b Persei's ellipsoidal light curve. Analysis & image credit: D. Collins (Warren-Wilson College)
We'd like to extend our thanks to all of the observers who responded to this campaign, and to all of our observers who consistently participate in AAVSO campaigns, and help drive astronomical research forward. This research couldn't happen without you!

Latest On Ron Rivera
December 8th, 2019 at 4:08pm CST by John Mazzaro
According to numerous executives and agents who will be involved in the upcoming coaching searches, Jason La Canfora notes that recently fired Panthers head coach Ron Rivera will have a robust market of suitors in 2020, and could be in position to choose between several options for next season.
Despite this, however, sources who know Rivera tell La Canfora that the two positions that would most closely appeal to Rivera on a personal level would be the Chargers, with a chance to return to his Southern California roots, or the Bears, where he played and coached, may not be available. While those teams have sputtered badly at times this season, it's nowhere close to certain either of those jobs will be opening up any time soon. Coming in to today, the Chargers are 4-8 and are in last place in the AFC West, while the Bears are 7-6 in a competitive NFC North that has them in third place.
La Canfora notes that Rivera also has strong ties to Giants general manager Dave Gettleman and some members of that staff, and if the Giants make a coaching change it is expected they will pursue candidates who have a proven history of winning as a head coach. The Falcons, with an aging but talented core, may prize experience as well, with owner Arthur Blank not inclined or positioned to do a rebuild, and with Blank's recent hires coming with no previous head coaching experience. According to La Canfora, some NFL executives believe Rivera would be a fit with the Cowboys as well, although it remains to be seen if Rivera would be able to mesh with owner Jerry Jones, who is known to be heavily involved with personnel and other decisions.
Rivera has made it clear by his recent comments that he plans to continue coaching, and is excited to start a new chapter in his life. Although the destination is currently unknown, it is clear that Rivera will be coaching somewhere next season. In eight-plus seasons, Rivera coached the Panthers to a 76-63-1 regular season record, a 3-4 playoff record, along with a Super Bowl Appearance.

Why was he fired to begin with? Wouldn't want to be McCaffrey.

He's not settling for a defensive coordinator job when he'll very easily get a head coaching job.
crosseyedlemon • 2 months ago
Falcons have won 9 of the past 10 meetings against the Panthers so they probably owe Ron at least a job interview.
What about Cam and Ron heading to cincinatti ?
Rondon • 2 months ago
Worst owner in football. He'd never go there.
captainchaos55 • 2 months ago
Bengals will give Taylor as long as they gave Lewis. I may not live to see another Bengal coach. Your absolutely right as he is not only the worst owner in football, he's the worst owner in professional sports.
Sincerely, always disappointed, rarely happy, always settling for mediocre football, Bengals fan.
Perksy • 2 months ago
Well it is Cincinnati , what do you expect.
Not sure where that was directed. I've already pretty much said our team sucks. If that was directed at the city itself. It's a great city to live in. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

You honestly can't think of one other city you would rather be in? I can think of over at least 100.

Worst owner?
Martha Ford: "Hold my beer."
Newton would take one look at the Bengals current OL and run the other direction. Cincy just made a HC hire so they won't pursue Ron.

Cleveland?
mitchrapp • 2 months ago
The owners in Clev will hire one of the beer vendors who was really good at madden on PlayStation and think they did good.
ohiodevil • 2 months ago
Mike McCarthy would be the first choice in Cleveland based on his past relationships in the Browns front office….that's if they are smart and move on from Kitchens.
jb19 • 2 months ago
No to McCarthy. He's no good. Stefanski fromVikings please.
If the rumors are true that Patricia's job in Detroit is in jeopardy, then I'd like to see Ron coach there for a few years before making a return to the Bears.
Steven Juris • 2 months ago
Detroit is the worst organization in pro sports. Hasn't been relevant in 60 years.
Not enough money in the city to visit Detroit let alone coach there.
vtncsc • 2 months ago
Why will teams bend over for RR? It's not like he came from a non-talent team. He hasn't delivered results the last few years.
It's not always about wins or losses. Ron started as a player and came up through the ranks so he has varied perspectives and lots of experience to draw on. Equally important is that he works well with others and knows how to handle the media in a way that won't embarrass the organization he works for.
Would you consider his time in Carolina successful? He's not exactly over .500 by a wide margin. I'm sure he'll get a job, but as someone living in the Carolina's, his media ability is about the only good thing going for him.
His defense has been pretty paltry that last year or two.
I just don't see the love affair
As I said, it's not always about the W/L record. Look at Belichick's record in Cleveland. I think that Ron was able to work with a player as temperamental as Newton is another strong selling point for him.
Because he has a career winning record in 9 seasons. That is rare for a coach like that to be available still in his coaching prime.
Eh, .541 isn't glamorous. Let's not think it's sexy.
playicy • 2 months ago
Better than other bozo coaches like Garrett

Rivera maybe join the brown! With a one and done coach, because him wilks are best of friends

Have 3 straight razors to unload after some car bills came up.
Prices are shipped CONUS and Canada. They include G&S fee in this.
I will ship to Europe but is about $10 more shipped DHL with no tracking.
All razors are shave ready. The first 2 razors I honed with the following progression: Naniwa 1k-3k-8k, Okudo JNAT, Nakayama JNAT. Stropped on Kanayama cordovan strop. The edge is on the smoother side.
Was NOS when I got it. Not 100% sure on the maker but it's either Tanifuji or Nirichi, both are great razor makers.
15/16" ALE Damascus - 1/4 Hollow - Cocobolo scales.
This is made by a Canadian blade maker outside of Montreal, Quebec. Hand forged, very heavy grinds and just mows down heavy growth like nothing is there. This was his early attempt at Damascus and that's why the price is low because I was given it at a low price.
Bump and price drop. Take $10 off each price above, I need these gone.
ALE and Hikari sold. Just the Frameback left.

Summary, Analysis & Review of Ray Kroc's Grinding It Out with Robert Anderson by Instaread
By: Instaread
Narrated by: Sam Scholl
Length: 21 mins
Categories: Biographies & Memoirs, Business Leaders
3 out of 5 stars 3.0 (2 ratings)
Grinding It Out: The Making of McDonald's is Ray Kroc's rags-to-riches story of how he built the fast-food behemoth McDonald's from the ground up. His book has been widely recognized as a business executive's bible for how to succeed. Kroc narrates his life story and demonstrates how the grit and determination he used as a paper cup salesman led him through a series of twists and turns to meet the McDonald brothers, Richard and Maurice, who were running a successful hamburger stand in San Bernardino, California. From there, he constructed one of the world's most successful franchise systems and built an empire that continues to dominate its industry even now, decades after his death.
Kroc initially met the McDonald brothers at their San Bernardino restaurant in 1955. At the time, Kroc was running a business selling commercial milkshake machines.
Please note: This is a summary, analysis, and review of the book and not the original book.

China says UK citizenship pathway for Hong Kong residents violates international law
FILE PHOTO: Anti-national security law protesters march at the anniversary of Hong Kong's handover to China from Britain, in Hong Kong, China July 1, 2020.
SHANGHAI: A new British policy allowing Hong Kong residents to claim British citizenship is a violation of international law and interferes with China's internal affairs, China's embassy in London said on Thursday (Jul 23).
British Interior Minister Priti Patel said on Wednesday that Hong Kong people with British National Overseas visas would be able to apply for citizenship starting from January 2021.
Britain had made that decision despite opposition from Beijing and China would respond strongly if it was not reversed, the Chinese embassy said in a statement.
The move "severely violated (Britain's) own commitments, seriously interfered with the internal affairs of China and seriously violated international law and the basic norms of international relations", it said.
London's decision, which could allow nearly three million Hong Kong residents to settle in Britain, came after Beijing imposed a national security law on the former British colony that democracy activists said would end the freedoms promised in 1997 when the territory was returned to Chinese rule.
Britain says the law breaches the terms of the handover treaty agreed in 1984. China accuses Britain of interfering in Hong Kong and Chinese affairs.
"The Chinese side urges the British side to recognise the reality that Hong Kong has returned to China, to look at the Hong Kong national security law objectively and immediately correct its mistakes," the embassy said.

PERSONAL DETAILS OVERALL RESEARCH INTERESTS
PROFILE PUBLICATIONS
FURTHER INFORMATION TEACHING
Philip Jones: Professor of Economics
E-mail Address: P.R.Jones@bath.ac.uk
Department of Economics & International Development,
University of Bath, Bath
BA2 7AY, United Kingdom
Philip Jones was awarded a BA (Economics) degree by the University of Wales and subsequently awarded an MA (Economics of Public Policy) and a Ph D from the University of Leicester. His Ph D research focused on an economic analysis of collective behaviour. Before arriving at Bath University, Philip lectured for six years at the University of Hull.
At Bath, Philip has been responsible for teaching courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. At present, he is responsible for the final year undergraduate courses ECOI0034 International Trade; ECOI0035 Public Choice and Public Expenditure and ECOI0036 Economics of Taxation. He is also responsible for ECOI0079 Economics of Politics which is a second level course and which applies economic analysis to questions which are more often considered by political scientists. Formerly, he has been responsible for teaching Principles of Microeconomics and Principles of Macroeconomics at first and second year levels. For Postgraduate programmes (e.g. M. Sc. in Fiscal Studies) he has taught courses on Microeconomic Theory of Taxation; Cost Benefit Analysis and International Taxation.
Philip adopts a range of pedagogical styles. Lectures are accompanied by seminars in which students engage present solutions to questions and engage in discussion. The emphasis is on understanding how analysis 'works' and on how it can be applied. At the same time, the sensitivity of analysis to underlying assumptions is stressed and students are encouraged to recognise the limitations associated with theoretical work.
Research informs teaching in different ways. Philip researches in areas of mainstream economics and is also interested in interdisciplinary issues. He publishes in political science journals as well as in economic journals. He has research interests in behavioural economics and is a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Economic Psychology. He is also a member of the Advisory Board of the European Centre for the Study of Public Choice (based at the University of Rome).
For courses such as ECOI 0035 Public Expenditure and Public Choice and ECOI0036 Economics of Taxation Philip's text book (co-authored with John Cullis) is used as one of the key texts. The book, Public Finance and Public Choice, second edition, Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1998 provides a basis from which further analysis is developed. It has been used widely in UK universities and also in universities in other countries. In former years, John Cullis and Philip Jones, Microeconomics of the Public Economy A Defence of Leviathan Basil Blackwell, 1987, has also proved an important reference.
Philip has taught and examined at the University of Hull, the University of Bristol, and Cranfield Institute of Technology. He has examined externally for Glasgow Caledonian University, for the Civil Service Commission and for the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators. He has been advisor to the International Baccalaureate and has held the position of Chief Examiner in Economics for the International Baccalaureate. He has acted as consultant for the British Council.

I try to implement plane detection in my AR experience. I have a subclass of ARSCNView with an ARSCNViewDelegate extension.
My cameraDidChangeTrackingState delegate method is called. However, I've never ONCE see my renderer(_:didAdd node:, for anchor:) method being called. Any idea?
EDIT: I can find ARPlaneAnchors session(_ session: ARSession, didAdd anchors: [ARAnchor]) but I am not sure if I should use this one, because in most (also Apples) examples they add objects to the node of the anchor like shown in my code above. Or do I have to trigger that didAdd node:, for anchor method myself?
This function is an instance method. You need to set the delegate of the session to an object and after that save the anchor in an array. And if you need to use any anchor just search through the array and find which anchor is useful for you.

Jenny Broome
Jenny Broome studied the harp with Daphne Boden and later with Renata Scheffel-Stein while reading Architecture at Cambridge University. As a student she had some wonderful musical experiences, including performing the War Requiem in King's College Chapel as part of the chamber orchestra conducted by David Hill, appearing at the Aldeburgh Festival in a chamber opera by Matthew Best, and at the Edinburgh Fringe in Britten's Rape of Lucretia. Jenny now has a busy freelance career as a harpist. Highlights have come from surprising directions: working for the Royal Shakespeare Company for Richard Jones' production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, with music by Jonathan Dove, and much later giving the first public performance at very short notice of Dove's opera Seven Angels for two voices and harp; working with composer Ed Lambert on various chamber works; collaborating with violinist Frances Mason; working with Andrew Parrott to record Berlioz' trio from the Childhood of Christ; being part of the team for Stowe Opera's magical production of Rusalka; emotional performances of Peter Grimes with Richard Hickox at the Endellion Festival.
Jenny delights in playing chamber music and works regularly with Trio Sospiroso (flute,cello and harp), Arpatagora (strings and harp) and Arcangeli (harp duet). It is always a particular pleasure to be asked back, and Jenny has been invited to perform at the Harp on Wight Festival in 2014 and 2016, and is delighted to be back at the Buckingham Festival this year. She has appeared as a soloist in concertos by Mozart, Handel, Debussy, Frank Martin, Bruch, and Ginastera.
Recordings include So Sweet a Melody for Somm, with the Hildegard Choir and soprano Emily van Evera; "Summer was in August", with flautist Rachel Smith, for Campion Cameo; music by Paul Carr for Claudio Records; Francis Grier's oratorio 'Around the Curve of the World' for Somm and Britten's Ceremony of Carols. Jenny's most recent project is a recording with Frances Mason of Victorian music for violin and harp written for the Eissler sisters.
Jenny is keen to encourage the composition of new music for the harp and has worked with various composers, especially Edward Lambert, who has written three exciting new harp works: Concerto Cubico, for trombone, marimba and harp, Short Story, for flute viola and harp, and Speed Matters for violin and harp.

Fiona Hosford
'A gifted and experienced harpist, Fiona is based in the South East of England but her work takes her throughout the UK and abroad.
She performs at a huge range of functions - weddings, corporate events, car launches and other social and private events have all been entertained by Fiona and her Harp.
Specialising in "playing outside the Harpbox of tunes" - Fiona is well known for putting the extra effort into making sure that a client's taste in music is adhered to. Her repertoire is vast and ranges from recognisable Classical pieces (ie: from films and adverts), Jazz standards (such as Gershwin, Carmichael, Porter and Kern) through to more contemporary pieces - Coldplay, Sting, Elton John, Norah Jones, Massive Attack, Radiohead, Guns n Roses and many more!
Having studied the piano, violin and singing, she settled on the Harp at 6 years old, and it soon became apparent that the other instruments were secondary to her interest in the Harp.
Over the years she has gained extensive experience performing throughout the UK and abroad, including residencies in Cyprus and aboard cruise ships.
Her varied repertoire has delighted a wide range of clients and her soothing and uplifting music played on her Harp has added an air of refinement and relaxation.
Fiona also performs for a number of talks and afternoon teas in her local area for a wide genre of clientele and also is a supporter of the Macmillan Cancer Charity and performs for fundraising Concerts on their behalf.
Affectionately described as the most friendly, 'normal' Harpist about, Fiona is blessed with a strong sense of humour and a personality to match. With this coupled up and a sympathetic musical ear, this ensures that the client is given a first class musical service with regards to their special occasion.
Her professionalism is evident throughout her attitude to playing and providing a first class service for each event.
Whether it be playing for your Ceremony, Drinks Reception, Wedding Breakfast or the 'Whole Day' option, Fiona prides herself on providing a personal and friendly service.
(Amplification is also available with her Harp, which then gives the Harp an extra boost of musical power over any noise - this is particularly good for over 120 guests!)
So - you've chosen the date and venue, what could be more atmospheric and romantic than having a Harpist to entertain you and your guests?
A harp provides a fantastic romantic atmosphere and also makes a great focal point as well amongst guests.
Once booked for an event, Fiona suggests to then have a chat about any musical preferences that the client may have, or she can suggest items to listen to. Classic FM and borrowing CDs from your local library are a good cost effective idea, as buying wedding CDs can be expensive and not all pieces are suitable to play on the Harp!
She offers Skype consultations and also invites clients to hear her her play at her house (by appointment only).
On Fiona's website, you will find a plethora of information, including video clips, sound bytes, Hotels that use her as a preferred supplier, reviews from Clients an enquiry form and much more – she's more than happy to help.

I love her and hope not but Kandi is looking AMAZING lately and lost a lot of weight.
bethenny has no fat to lose.
Teresa actually goes to the gym and eats sensibly, this has to be crazy Shannon!
Vile Kyle Richards was in the DM yesterday with an entirely different body. When the show started years ago she looked dumpy.
What is up with all the adderrall dieting blinds? Did stars only just find out it's a quick way to lose weight if you're cool with potentially losing your mind?
Losing weight is the hardest easiest thing I ever did.
If you Count Calories, Exercise and Fight off the between meal hunger pangs, you will lose weight slowy!
Plus, junk food is nothing but empty calories! Stay Away!
Definitely Shannon Beador debuting a skinny look and she actually does look terrific. Fellow housewife Tamra is claiming to be training her so now we know they BOTH get a paycheck out of this!
Beador. She's exercise-averse and unwilling to put down the fork and the vodka. Fat is fine, unless the fat person whines endlessly about being fat.
I don't know who's that crazy, because Adderrall (sp) can also cause you to speed, break out with acme, and among other things it causes some to rage at others.. Housewives in the best zip codes, it's their breakfast, lunch, an apple and a dry salad at night.
What a miserable life.. I gained weight when I went through three family members drying with 3 months of each other and they were healthy.
I couldn't express the pain I was feeling and having to always be the one who handles the arrangements for them..
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup with a kick, ginger and red pepper flakes, chicken, celery, carrots, peas, potatoes and noodles..
Parsley and a 1/2 teaspoon of fresh grated Parmesan cheese with fresh parsley on top, 5 eat crackers..
I ate it for breakfast and dinner, for lunch I ate whatever I wanted.. I lost 40 lbs in 2 months and now it's 60 lbs..
up my favorite thing to have is a nice cold Coke Cola.. I dranked 4 cola a day..
Lent is coming up and I need to quit smoking badly, I hate the taste and smell of smoking, but it's calming to me..
I can't give up cokes because I really don't need to lose anymore weight and I will lose weight no drinking any sodas at all.
How on earth are all these people getting prescribed adderall? Surely the docs know they are not ADD??
You can buy it from college students.
@trapped that is one hell of a diet. congrats on the weight loss. give up the smoking for lent & put everything else on the backburner (weightloss, coke). seriously. focus on one at a time.
Are people actually watching this junk?


There are many ways to gauge the vitality of your business. One popular means of measurement is the Net Promoter Score (NPS). This metric determines how likely your current customers are to recommend your business to someone else. Why is this so important? Most basically, it tells gives you an idea of how happy your customers are with the products or services you're currently providing. On a deeper level, it gives you insight into your business' potential for growth.
As shown in the infographic below from the referral marketing gurus at Ambassador, 65% of new business comes from referrals. Yowza. So it follows that if your NPS is low, your potential for growth in the near future is not terribly bright.
You then divide the responders into groups based on their 1-to-10 rating: Promoters (9-10), Passives (7-8), and Detractors (6 or below). Subtract the percentage of Detractors from the Promoters, and there you have it. Some businesses express this as a percentage, some as a 'score'.
So what kind of score should you be shooting for? That depends entirely upon your industry. For example, according to a 2012 Satmetrix study, USAA had the highest NPS in the banking industry at 83%, while Verizon had the highest NPS in the internet industry at just 18%.
To sum it all up, there are two ways things you need to do to make use of the metric. First, find out what the average benchmark is for your industry, and see how you measure up. Next, look at your own NPS and simply try to out-do yourself each year.
How it can help start a business?
Very informative post ! It's very helpful for new starter of business.Thanks.

Causal determinism is not a threat to freewill.
Causal (or nomological) determinism is the thesis that future events are necessitated by past and present events combined with the laws of nature. Such determinism is sometimes illustrated by the thought experiment of Laplace's demon. Imagine an entity that knows all facts about the past and the present, and knows all natural laws that govern the universe. Such an entity might be able to use this knowledge to foresee the future, down to the smallest detail.
The key word in the above paragraph is "necessitated". It's this term that gives the argument its weight. It's also this term that is decidedly unscientific. There's no possible way to test if an event is necessary i.e. it has to happen. You could flip a coin once a second and have it land on heads for the next 1,000 years but you still wouldn't have observed anything necessary. There's no possible way to test between something that has to happen vs. just does happen. In all cases we can only observe what happens. Even if something always happens that doesn't therefore mean that it must happen.
If the following statement is true...
1. You will wear a yellow shirt tomorrow.
...then it is true only because, tomorrow, you, in fact, wear a yellow shirt.
Likewise, if the following statement is true...
2. Nothing accelerates faster than the speed of light.
...then it is true only because, at all times and places, nothing, in fact, ever accelerates faster than the speed of light.
Statements take their truth from the world. The statement "the cat is on the mat" is true iff the cat is on the mat.
Though, some people have it curiously twisted. They think that, in fact, nothing accelerates faster than the speed of light because the statement "nothing accelerates faster than the speed of light" is true! Instead of the statement being true because it corresponds with reality, reality conforms itself to the truth of the statement. That sounds much like the way chanting a magic spell such as "open sesame" can make the world conform to its power.
At this point, most people would say...
"But if it's true that nothing accelerates faster than the speed of light then I can't accelerate faster than the speed of light!"
This is a retreat to logical determinism and this is also a form of the modal fallacy. Strictly speaking, it's not that you can't. It's that you won't. Let's go back to a mundane example. If it's true now that..
3. Tomorrow I will wear a yellow shirt.
...then it seems like I have no choice but to wear a yellow shirt. I can't change my mind. That's false though. The solution to the problem is that (3) is only true because I don't change my mind. If I do change my mind then (3) won't be true. By saying (3) is true we're also implying "I will change my mind and wear blue instead" is false.
If we take this further and make it a law-like statement...
4. Night Ripper only wears yellow shirts.
...then (4) is true only if I never decide to wear a different color of shirt. If one day I decide to wear blue then (4) is false. However, we're already taking (4) as true now. Therefore, I don't (not that I can't) ever change my mind.
The universe isn't governed in the sense that the universe has to behave a certain way. It's rather that the universe can be described with law-like statements. The truth of these statements don't thereby force us into doing anything, however.

@Night Ripper,
That's right. This is basically what Swartz wrote too.

Your thoughts on this have triggered me to think about cause. And that has led me to the notice the nature of questions.
When I ask a question, I've created a blank space. Something needs to fill it. I go on a quest to fill the blank.
If I ask why the man climbed the mountain, and you say: because he climbed the mountain, I'm not happy. I was looking for something beyond the basis of the question. It's actually amazing to me all of the sudden that people can do that: create a blank space.
Why can be taken in two ways: efficient and final cause. If I ask why the heart beats and I mean what triggers it to beat, the answer is: a nerve. If I ask why it beats, and I mean as in Spanish, por que? For what? The answer is: to make blood pressure. This is what Aristotle called the final cause... the purpose. In either case, we see that the blank space created by why is filled by something outside the heart. (Or so it would seem.)
So, as folks have commented, when you ask for the cause of everything... you need to notice something. You just posited something outside of everything. What's the definition of everything? It can't have a cause.
On the other hand, we could notice that if we delete the sympathetic nerve and blood pressure from reality: there is no heart. There couldn't be. That situation warrants a little pause for thought.
We start with a discreet object: the heart. We create a blank space for something we will then draw into a causal relation to the heart. But hello... this isn't just any kind of relationship where they meet and have a chat over coffee. This is a relationship where the parties can't exist without each other. So aha! This sheds light on the real situation with that blank space.
What actually happened with the blank space is that I'm expecting a widening of my field of understanding. (!) I'm not looking to just link another car on my choo choo train. The question is actually an expansion from one car (the heart) to the bigger train (nerve, heart, and blood pressure).
This is why Regularist are onto something. They're drawing our attention to a sort of error. We might think cause must be something outside of the effect. While the blank is still empty, the two are distinctly different. One we know, the other we don't. But once the blank is filled, we don't actually have two separate things. We have one bigger picture. :Glasses:

I thouroghly enjoyed your post.
I have always seen it as thus: The functionality of free will qua the agent.
As mortal agents we, as you have pointed out, cannot fully fathom or even design a cogent test for causation, especially ultimate causation. This makes the concept of our actions being determined moot. We do however function as if we had free will. Our behavior and perception hinges on us acting as if we have free will. This also renders the the abstracted concepts of determinism and causation moot. Theologically this thread of thought concerning free will throw a bit of a wrench into the workings of some doctrines concerning sin and punsihment, but I suppose that is a a topic for another thread.

The perplexing nature of the puzzle is clearly revealed when the gold-sphere generalization is paired with a remarkably similar generalization about uranium spheres:[INDENT]All gold spheres are less than a mile in diameter. All uranium spheres are less than a mile in diameter.
[/INDENT] Though the former is not a law, the latter arguably is. The latter is not nearly so accidental as the first, since uranium's critical mass is such as to guarantee that such a large sphere will never exist (van Fraassen 1989, 27). What makes the difference? What makes the former an accidental generalization and the latter a law?
(Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Notice that there are (both) no gold spheres spheres that are a mile in diameter, and there are no uranium spheres a mile in diameter. But still, it is true that there could be a gold sphere a mile in diameter (since there is no physical law of nature that prevents this) but there could not be a uranium sphere a mile in diameter, since there is a physical law that prevents this. So while it does just happen that there is neither a gold nor a uranium sphere a mile in diameter, the first is an accident since there could be; but the second is not an accident, since it is physically impossible that there should be such a uranium sphere. And, if it is physically impossible that there should be such a uranium sphere, isn't it physically necessary that there isn't such a sphere, whereas it is not physically necessary there there is no such gold sphere?
By the way. I also think there is no conflict between determinism and free will. But not because there is no nomic causation. Since the above argument seems to show that there is.

So, are you saying that it is false that you can't fly (without the aid of any devices), it is only that you do not fly? Why, though, do you not fly?
And what has this to do with free will?
As for free will, I think the first step is to decide what is being asserted when someone says that we have free will, as different people mean different things by such an expression:

I think the above begs the question. A regularity theorist does not accept that there is a difference between the two cases. How would you show that there is? The above is really only convincing to necessity theorists.
For a short introduction to a regularity theory, see Swartz's page here.

That it would not convince a regularity theorist doesn't (I think) show it begs the question. Maybe it should convince a regularity theorist, in which case it doesn't beg the question.

And, if you think it is the second, what is your explanation of the difference. I don't understand why you would not think there is a difference between the two cases.
But still, it is true that there could be a gold sphere a mile in diameter (since there is no physical law of nature that prevents this) but there could not be a uranium sphere a mile in diameter, since there is a physical law that prevents this.
The fact that all uranium spheres above a certain critical mass happen to undergo a nuclear chain reaction is not evidence that they have to and couldn't have done otherwise.
I confess to not having read the long version, and only read part of the short introduction (skipping down to the parts that seemed most relevant), but how can one establish that the regularity theory is true? It seems to my rather slipshod reading of it that it is merely omitting the word "can" (and synonyms) and leaving us with "is" only. So it appears to be claiming that it is a myth that people cannot fly without the aid of any devices. What is true, according to the theory, is that people simply do not fly without the aid of any devices. But it seems to leave no answer to the question, why do people not fly without the aid of any devices? Or am I misunderstanding the theory?

All explanations must come to an end. You can ask "why?" forever and at some point you have to say "that's just the way it is". These are called brute facts and I've never seen a convincing argument that doesn't appeal to them at some point. The only question is, which view is more empirical i.e. scientific, that the universe is controlled by magical laws that come from nowhere (or God if you're a theist) or that the universe isn't controlled at all? It's completely contingent.
Well, to begin with, uranium spheres don't do things. People (and maybe animals) do things. Second of all, gold happens not to undergo a chain reaction above a certain critical mass, but (as we see) uranium does. Third of all, what makes you think there isn't a covering law that explains why uranium does?
The fact (if it is one) that "all explanations come to an end" does not mean that they come to an end right at the beginning, does it? There is an explanation for why water freezes a 0 C., even if there is no explanation for the whole universe.
Do you have any evidence that it could do otherwise? If not, how is your position any better?
Well, to begin with, uranium spheresdon't do things. People (and maybe animals) do things.
Uranium spheres explode. That's doing something. Either way that is a pedantic point to make and doesn't advance your argument at all.
Second of all, gold happens not to undergo a chain reaction above a certain critical mass, but (as we see) uranium does.
It sure does. Looks like you've already forgotten your first point. But how does that show that it must?
Third of all, what makes you think there isn't a covering law that explains why uranium does?
Does or must? What does that have to do with proving physical necessity? Gresham's Law explains something but does that make what it explains necessary?
The fact (if it is one) that "all explanations come to an end" does not mean that they come to an end right at the beginning, does it?
Explanations come to an end (or at least should) when there is no more evidence. Since there is no evidence that anything is necessary that's where I stop. You're welcome to keep going, just remember you're leaving the realm of empirical evidence behind.
In other words, I can't prove God doesn't exist.
Right but if you think my position requires that then you don't understand my position. My position is that such beliefs (God, physical necessity, whatever) are untestable and superfluous. You're right that I don't know that such things aren't the case but I don't need to be certain something isn't the case to disbelieve it.
But I thought we did have evidence that it could not do otherwise, anyway. It was that although neither kind of sphere exists, nevertheless, it would be physically possible for the gold sphere to exist, but it would not be physically possible for the uranium sphere to exist. Isn't that evidence against his position, and evidence for our position?
But I thought we did have evidence that it could not do otherwise, anyway.
That sounds like a mistake.
With two exceptions, since 1840, U.S. Presidents who have been elected in years ending in zero have been killed or have died of natural causes while in office. And one exception literally came within an inch of death.
According to your logic, if this pattern had no exceptions until "the end of time" then that would be evidence that it was necessary. You don't believe it would be though. Then why do you believe things are necessary with equally shaky evidence? There's nothing different in principle between the evidence for the death of presidents and the fission of uranium spheres except that, with the former, the pattern was broken and therefore less regular.
