Seeing Through the World: Jean Gebser and Integral Consciousness

24. Mutations, Imagination, Futurability
November 25, 2021 November 25, 2021 JDJLeave a comment
This week's podcast is up! A reading of my essay from October's Gebser Conference. "Mutations, Imagination, Futurability."
I'm tempted to describe it as a kind of "evolutionary triptych" for consciousness efflorescence. Tempted.
It's also a taste of the forthcoming Mutations journal due out Feb. 2022, and hints at some of the new conceptual legwork developed in my own next book, Fragments of an Integral Future (Spring 2022).

23. The Web of Meaning with Jeremy Lent
In episode 23 of Mutations, I talk with Jeremy Lent about his new book: The Web of Meaning: Integrating Science and Traditional Wisdom to Find Our Place in the Universe.
Lent's newest work proposes an integrated worldview very much in the philosophical spirit of the scholars and teachers we explore on Mutations (integral philosophy, theory, etc.). At the time of recording this, I was just coming down from the whirl of regenerative possibilities explored in the Integrales Forum panel, "Becoming the Planetary", where Lent and others talked about framing a new narrative around a "regenerative turn."
Part of this turn, however, means important breaks from traditional narratives in Western culture concerning evolutionism and progressive societal development. Lent's book articulates this regenerative narrative wonderfully, and I had to agree with Tyson Yunkaporta's blurb:
"It is hard to build new regenerative narratives that honor the old without being in extractive relation to non-western lands and peoples, but this book is a damn good start. This book is a good place to sit for anybody interested in binding the wounds of thoughtless progress and allowing for the emergence of new patterns of being."

I was also delighted to share some of my thoughts on the interrelationship with Lent's writing and my own research with Jean Gebser. We discussed the convergence points across the conversation. Thanks for listening, and stay tuned with me: Mutations has a back log now, and as I continue to work on my next book, more conversations should be going up over the next few months.

Integral as Participatory and Phenomenological
July 5, 2020 July 23, 2021 JDJ1 Comment
I'm listening to Daniel Thorson's conversation with Zak Stein today and feeling deeply receptive to it.
Zak's mention of McLuhan was particularly revelatory. It made me think of the loss/gain character of any new medium. New media extend us, but they also cut us off—like the car replacing the foot. Social media extends communication, but it also replaces the important, sensemaking embodiment of voice and presence.
…And so, when we open our mouths, we Tweet. We Facebook Status (as verb). We project a virtual world to side with. To text, to tweet, is to have a prosthetic voice. What other options are there? Zak analogizes this to smoking even when we know it's bad for us. In this case, to speak, to reach out and in turn be received, we must inhale the toxic fumes of memetic polarization. And this is by design.
The recent "Stay At Home" episode on Jacobin with Amber Frost and Matt Christman also speaks to this problem:
But I think Zak offers some helpful ways to "seeing through" the media and orienting it toward "down to Earth" sensemaking ground, which may require use to get offline to rediscover. Voice, connection, communication, love.
I share Daniel's frustration with meta-narrative discussions and framing—which, looking back, I think I partly expressed in our Emerge conversation over a year ago now (concerning meta thinking and metamodernism in general, which I've since come to appreciate in a more complex way):
Daniel might also appreciate the essay I contributed to @TheSideViewCo on this subject of going meta as participatory and phenomenological; not needing to climb higher heights of abstraction but rather to work at becoming more present to the felt-sense of what is happening to us and our involvement in the changes this world is undergoing. I would add today that the felt-sense of this planetary crisis (which the social media issue is but one, if not predominant concern), this structure of feeling, can itself become deeply instructive and re-orienting. The crisis is teaching us what has the potential to emerge. But as Zak and Daniel express so well in their podcast episode, it requires a turning toward uncertainty and liminality; Le Guin's "nusuth" 1 in The Left Hand of Darkness.
And finally, Jason Snyder and Jared Janes talked with me about the "Meta, Modern" essay and going meta/integral in a more participatory and phenomenological way on Both/And podcast.
Certainties don't seem to be yielding themselves— but that would merely be information, as Daniel mentions at the beginning of the episode. When we move beyond knowing or unknowing I think we can begin the process of mutual learning2 with the crisis, and so our certainties become replaced by transparencies, which invite us not to know but to participate.
Entangled Myths for Planetary Flourishing, ft. Gordon White
May 29, 2020 September 6, 2020 JDJLeave a comment
In this episode, I was joined by Gordon White, host of Rune Soup podcast, a show about magic, culture and the paranormal. Gordon is the author of The Chaos Protocols, Star.Ships, and Pieces of Eight: Chaos Magic Essays and Enchantment.
Note: This episode was recorded before the new year, in December 2019. A "pre-COVID-19 tape" if you will. If you listen until the end, however, you'll notice some oddly prescient comments about health and wellbeing in 2020.
I begin my discussion with Gordon exploring the historical rise of communities of magical practice during a time of planetary crisis, and naturally, we roll into a discussion on imagination and storytelling.
What are the kinds of stories – the planetary myths – we need to be tuning into right now, in the epoch of the Anthropocene/Chthulucene?
Gordon talks about how to be "a pacifist in a living universe," and living artistically through a "non-tyrannical way of being in the world." Authors like Ursula K. Le Guin and her Taoist-anarchic heroes (Georg Orr as depicted in The Lathe of Heaven, or Ged in A Wizard of Earthsea), or J.R.R. Tolkien's Sam and Frodo in The Lord of the Rings, can teach us something about living this way.
Gordon was an absolute delight to speak to – and there's much more in the conversation. Thanks for tuning in.

#11. The Meta-Crisis and Transitioning to a "Steady State" Civilization – Q&A [Friday Solo Show]
April 3, 2020 April 3, 2020 JDJLeave a comment
Mutations truly go on! As we wade further into the murky complexities of the meta-crisis, I bring you an update from COVID-19 quarantine. This is a recording from 4/2/20. Part riff, part Q&A discussion with viewers as we explore how to navigate the "meta-crisis," including helpful ways of looking the current world state and navigating to (latent), more beautiful futures. Themes of liminality, metaxis ("betweenness"), and integral ontology come into the picture right now, as we collectively attempt to find our way to a new mode of sensemaking and culture building that is more akin to Teilhard de Chardin's planetization, or Jean Gebser's integral aperspectivity. Do tune in. This one definitely felt like climbing on a pulpit.
PS: There's now a backlog of interviews, some recorded before the COVID-19 epidemic–from another era! But they are coming. Thanks, listener, for your gracious patience.

10. Talking Owen Barfield and the Evolution of Christianity with Mark Vernon
January 6, 2020 January 6, 2020 JDJLeave a comment
An episode for the Epiphany.
I spoke with author, philosopher, and psychotherapist Mark Vernon about his 2019 book: A Secret History of Christianity: Jesus, the Last Inkling, and the Evolution of Consciousness.
You may have already listened on Mark's YouTube channel. Great, but also be sure to tune in below for a new introduction.
Mark has a PhD in ancient philosophy, with two other degrees in physics and theology. What brought us together was a mutual interest in the evolution of consciousness; Mark, by way of the Oxford Inkling Owen Barfield, and myself by way of the Swiss cultural philosopher and poet Jean Gebser. Mark read my book and I read his. We agreed that we simply needed to have a chat.
To my knowledge, Gebser and Barfield never actually talked with one another in life, even though their ideas find many significant convergences; the theme of participation, for instance, plays a prominent role in both of their works.
Mark's A Secret History of Christianity is also a history of religion, which is to say the history of consciousness. His documentation of pivotal transformations in the evolution of religion were highly illustrative.
Take Pneuma, for example:
"Consider the words "wind" and "spirit." It turns out that in ancient Greek, as in many other old languages, there is a single word that means both "wind" and "spirit." It's pneuma in Greek and it's a relic from previous times. It's a linguistic fossil from the undifferentiated consciousness of original participation because back then, the material world mingled with the immaterial; outer with the inner; mortal with the immortal; wind with spirit. One word captured what we now think of as two distinct things. It's why, today, verses like John 3:8, "the pneuma blows where it wishes," are almost impossible to translate."
Passages like this one highlight an important recognition that some of the most fundamental assumptions about how human beings encounter, inhabit, and experience the world can undergo creative transformation. This realization, alone, underscores a view of history where the ground itself shifts from time to time. These insights also dovetail quite a bit with what I generally describe as an "integral etymology" equally present in Gebser's work.
Barfield, by way of Mark's compelling writing, provides us not only with a history of our consciousness but some important words about its future. Anyone seriously interested in the meaning crisis (via John Vervaeke), or the evolution of religion (like Ken Wilber's The Religion of Tomorrow) is strongly encouraged to pick this book up.
(For a direct reading of Barfield I recommend starting with Saving the Appearances: A Study in Idolatry).
I mentioned earlier this year in the episode with Dr Becca Tarnas that J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth cosmology also has interesting synergy some of Gebser's ideas, particularly how the consciousness structures unfold (a series of gains and losses as we move further "away" from spiritual origin in time and becoming).
We need a general "The Inklings and the Evolution of Consciousness ft. J. Gebser Remix" episode. Roundtable scholarly nerd-out imminent. Mark, Becca, and I are talking about making it happen. Stay tuned.

Talking Temporics, Gebser on Integral Life
January 6, 2020 January 6, 2020 JDJ1 Comment
A little synchronicity happened to me the other day. Corey W. Devos, of Integral Life, posted about a livestream happening at the top of the hour.
The subject matter was concerning time, featuring Dr. Keith Witt, and so being something of a Gebserian (wink-nod), of course my interest was peaked. I joined the Zoom call.
It was after 5 p.m. here on the gulf, so I thought sure, why not, my wife and I have time before dinner.

8. Building a Case for an "Integral Futurism" [Solo Show]
The difficulty with talking about time is knowing when to begin. So, I might as well start with this, here.
I'm working on a new book for Integral Imprint called Fragments of an Integral Futurism (202o), and have begun curating a humble bookshelf exploring, first of all, the origins of futurism itself.
Franco "Bifo" Berardi's After the Future (2011) and Futurability: The Age of Impotence and the Horizon of Possibility (2017) have both been illuminating.
For the curious, Berardi was recently interviewed on Conner Habib's podcast (AEWCH) talking about "breathing in the end of the world."
In my book, "Bifo" Berardi's work, alongside Mark Fisher's (Capitalist Realism), is brought into conversation with Jean Gebser's cultural phenomenology (kulturphilosophie)—and integral philosophy in general—to help us understand the crisis of sensemaking and civilization. I know. Tall order. But, this is where my writing and reading takes me.

Well over 40 people of all ages turned out last Saturday afternoon, to take part in the formal opening up of the site in Sleat on Skye where building of a multi-purpose community hub is about to begin.
Donnie MacKinnon, former chair of the Camuscross and Duisdale Initiative, joked as he cut an entrance in the fence that it feels strange for a crofter to cut through a fence, but this is one exception worth making.
Then a group of pre-school children took up the spade to turn the first sod to cheers from all around.
Inverness-based contractors, Compass Building and Construction Services, appointed after competitive tendering, will be responsible for the whole contract. They expected to be on site from Monday (11th January), with the intention of opening the building in time for Easter 2017 when locals and visitors alike will be able to enjoy facilities which include a cafe, shop and hall. It also means the local post office, which would close under current regulations on the retirement of the postmistress, will be retained as part of the hub.
The highly attractive-design, chosen through community consultation, is by award-winning WT Architecture, and will sit beside the main A851 Sleat road with stunning views over Camuscross and the Sound of Sleat to Knoydart from a site made available by Camuscross grazings shareholders.
In total, the project will cost around £1.9 million.
Mark Wringe, as current chair of CDI – the community group which developed the project – thanked the many individuals and bodies, including past and present directors of CDI, who had worked hard over several years to make the project a reality.
The bulk of the £1.9 million total cost is being met by awards from the National Lottery and the Coastal Communities Fund, with significant support also from Highlands and Islands Enterprise, the Robertson Trust and Highland Council.
CDI is currently advertising for a self-employed project development officer.


It was originally made as a concession to the UK importer, who wanted a scooter that could show up the Vespa GS in that very competitive market. It was a hit from the beginning, and Innocenti always had a 200cc model on tap from then on. The TV200 was also sold in respectable numbers in the US. However, not many have survived. We've only come across a handful of them in the many years we've been riding scooters - they are rare. When this one came up for sale, we knew there would be no second chances. If a TV200 is rare, finding one in original paint is virtually impossible.
This scooter most certainly has the warm patina of age but wears it well. Our preference would be to leave it in its original condition, but if one chose to go the restoration route, it would be an excellent candidate. It has all of its original parts and is in good condition overall.

Mining Responsibility
Canadians like to think that our international image is of a flag on a backpack or a blue beret. The real image we've created in some parts of the world is of toxic waste and thugs with guns.
The behaviour of some of our mining companies abroad has been to Canada's shame. It has made this country a party to environmental destruction, corruption, displacement of poor people, child labour, oppression and war. At last, the industry has smartened up and is working with its critics to create rules for social responsibility.

India, EU must jointly ensure Afghan soil doesn't become terror breeding ground, says envoy
By Sahil PandeyNew Delhi [India], December 3 (ANI): India and the European Union (EU) jointly need to keep a close eye on Afghanistan and ensure that its soil is not used for terrorism, EU special envoy Tomas Niklasson said on Friday.
While speaking with ANI, special envoy Niklasson said it's not only India that has concerns about Afghanistan soil being used for terrorism.
"It's one of the issues we are discussing. It's one clear commitment by the Taliban-appointed interim government in Kabul to prevent this from happening. But we also see varying developments on the ground," special envoy Niklasson told ANI here.
"So this is something that we jointly need to continue to raise in dialogue, and to keep a close eye on," he added.
Niklasson travelled to India after holding talks in Doha over the weekend with a Taliban delegation led by acting foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi.
Niklasson met Foreign Secretary Harsh Shringla on Wednesday and exchanged views on the "current situation in Afghanistan" and agreed to "continue the ongoing coordination between India and EU on Afghanistan".
These talks come as Afghanistan is facing economic hardships following the Taliban's takeover in August, resulting in a financial crisis of great proportion.
Over the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, the envoy said the world needs to ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches people.
"We have international staff on the ground in Kabul. We've increased our humanitarian assistance from 60 million to 300 million Euros," said the EU envoy on drought and harsh winter staring at Afghanistan.
He also said, "EU is distributing aid via international organisation and we have experience in working on providing humanitarian assistance to Afghan people for last two decades.
"So while the scale is different, urgency is there, this isn't something new for uswe have solid experience to build on." (ANI)

Going Beyond Climate Change: The Cost of Biodiversity Loss
By postMigrator October 16, 2008 October 16, 2008 RT Newswire
Published on Wednesday, October 15, 2008 by Inter Press Service
by Ramesh Jaura
BARCELONA – While the financial mayhem continues to draw the headlines, the cost of
persistent biodiversity loss has yet to be established. But it is believed to be
bigger than that of the meltdown, and in many cases also irreparable.
While the financial mayhem continues to draw the headlines, the cost of persistent
biodiversity loss has yet to be established. But it is believed to be bigger than
that of the meltdown, and in many cases also irreparable. (Image: BBC media)The
International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) now plans to gather
incontrovertible evidence on the value of preserving biodiversity and the cost of
losing it. The world's oldest and largest global environmental network will task its
scientific commissions for this.
This is one eminent pillar of the immediate and strategic priorities of the IUCN as
spelt out by the organisation's new president Ashok Khosla.
The idea, backed by IUCN's ten-day world conservation congress that concluded
Tuesday (Oct 14) in Barcelona, is to protect the biosphere, with particular focus on
the conservation of biodiversity in all its manifestations.
"This means that we must do what is necessary to bring the issue of biodiversity
right into the centre stage of public awareness, media concern and decision-making
at the local, national and global levels," Khosla told delegates at the closing
Discussions at the congress revealed that there are indeed definite lessons to learn
from the debate about climate change. While many doubted the scientific basis of the
connection between climate change and human activity, it was the authoritative and
unambiguous view of the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reflecting
the combined scientific work of over 3,000 scientists that more or less put an end to
the debate. Clearly, IUCN is the body that can and must do what IPCC is doing with
"The clear message coming out of this (Barcelona) meeting is that biodiversity underpins
the well-being of human societies and their economies," said IUCN director-general Julia
Marton-Lefèvre. "But conservation can only succeed if we attack the underlying causes of
biodiversity loss, and action is taken at the same time to reduce the impacts of that loss."
The IUCN programme for 2009-2012 on 'Shaping a Sustainable Future' says the IUCN
will contribute directly to targets agreed internationally by governments to reduce
the rate of loss of biodiversity.
It will also add an environmental perspective to the achievement of the Millennium
Development Goals (agreed in 2000 by 189 countries), the plan for implementation of
the World Summit on Sustainable Development (agreed in September 2002 in
Johannesburg) and other relevant international commitments.
Established in 1948 in Fontainebleau (Switzerland), three years after the United
Nations was founded, the IUCN with about 1,000 members from across the world,
including governments and international NGOs, is indeed poised to adjust itself to
the changed and fast-changing realities of the globalised world.
Not only does it face the most challenging environmental issues ever in history —
climate change and diminishing biodiversity — but IUCN members are also asking for
fundamental changes in its working.
It is against this backdrop that the election of Khosla is of vital significance. He
chairs the India-based Development Alternatives Group, a non-profit organisation
established in 1983 "for creating large-scale sustainable livelihoods. He is also
president of the Club of Rome, a global think-tank and centre of innovation and
initiative.
One of his top priorities is to set up a world commission in collaboration with WWF
and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) to investigate the deeper implications of
'green carbon' such as sequestration, REED (a mechanism for compensating countries
for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation) and biofuels.
The proposed commission would, like the World Commission on Dams, bring together
people from different walks of life and of different viewpoints who are in a
position to look at where the action on climate change and on biodiversity can take
place in the most meaningful way.
Another important point on IUCN's agenda in the coming years is to "form new
partnerships among the best institutions to bring together their different insights
and to generate meaningful solutions that deal effectively with the inter-related
issues of population, natural resources, environment and development."
The IUCN will also bring clarity into the basis for establishing appropriate relationships
with business. Judging from the debates on several motions on this subject at the Barcelona
congress, there would appear to be a considerable consensus that the IUCN must engage with
corporations, large, medium and small.
However, the terms of such engagement must be such as to lead to positive
conservation outcomes, and ensure that at no time is IUCN's integrity or capacity to
fulfil its mission compromised in any way.
Marton-Lefèvre confirmed that perception. "My view has always been that IUCN was set
up to influence, encourage and assist society in dealing with nature and natural
resources in a most sustainable and socially equitable manner — and business is a
part of society, whether some of our members like it or not. So my feeling is
strongly that we must engage, but we don't lose our voice in this engagement," she
told IPS.
But Khosla went a step ahead, when he said in his closing remarks: "The national and
regional committees will have to be mandated to perform both expert and watchdog
roles at the grassroot levels."
A task force to define the terms of such engagement and the changes in function
required is expected to be set up by the 32-member council that serves as the board
of directors of the organisation.
The congress did some important work to promote improvements in governance on the
high seas. As an area outside of national jurisdiction, these are often exploited by
all and managed by none.
The rights of vulnerable and indigenous communities received high priority at the
Barcelona congress as IUCN members called on governments to take into account human
rights implications in all conservation-related activities.
The congress saw the beginning of an ethical framework to guide
conservation activities where poverty reduction, rights-based approaches and 'do no
harm' principles can be applied to help redefine relating with nature.
With an eye on the UN climate change conference in Poland in December, the IUCN
called for more specific goals in line with the Bali Plan of Action — calling for a
50 to 85 percent reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050 and keeping a rise in
temperature below 2 degrees Centigrade.
Several high profile commitments were made during the congress to support the IUCN
mission: the MacArthur Foundation will invest 50 million dollars in climate change
mitigation and adaptation, and the Mohammed Bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund will
invest 25 million euros for worldwide biodiversity.

Beyond the Numbers: Why Metrics Don't Tell The Whole Story About DEI
This is Becoming Inclusive from The Kaleidoscope Group, where we're thinking differently about diversity, equity, and inclusion. For more empowered people at work. We're committed to real change and that begins with real conversations. Welcome in.
*to request the transcription, please email jodi.matas@kgdiversity.com*
Measuring diversity, equity and inclusion is an important, vital, part of implementing a robust strategy that delivers desired outcomes. But as organizations accrue data to qualify and quantify their efforts, they need to think beyond the organizational data points to ensure that their efforts not only focus on the business in the macro sense but also at the micro level to understand better the impact DEI has on the team level. At least that's the point made by two senior DEI experts with the Kaleidoscope Group.
In today's episode of Becoming Inclusive Podcast, host Reggie Ponder welcomed The Kaleidoscope Group's COO Chris Georgas and Juan Luis Betancourt, CEO of Humantelligence, a software provider and culture management platform that helps organizations operationalize culture, improve collaboration, and drive team performance.
Drilling Down on DEI
According to Betancourt and Georgas, the focus in data analytics related to DEI is on groups rather than individuals. That's not wrong, but it's not enough. Both make the valid point that measuring groups of workers based on limited dimensions of diversity like race or gender may be off the mark because those populations aren't monolithic. Within every racial or ethnic group, there is also a great deal of diversity and conscious and unconscious biases. These have to be tackled from the standpoint of the individual and how included those individuals feel on their teams—so that they're able to contribute in meaningful ways that improve the employee experience for everyone.
Changing and building culture is complex, but we can't simply focus on the C-Suites and succession plans, both agreed. Betancourt goes on to say that understanding how people show up in terms of workstyles and motivations informs project managers and also gives the team members critical insights into their peers for a more cohesive team structure that can lead to higher-performing teams and greater degrees of inclusivity and equity.
Optimizing Team Wellbeing
When we shift from a top-down approach to a team focus, we can understand the human connections among teams in more depth. Betancourt referred to this approach as the "UCC Framework": reflecting "understand, connect, collaborate." Georgas says that this type of thinking allows organizations to demonstrate care for employees in a meaningful way, which also provides an opportunity for organizations to distinguish themselves from competitors to gain an advantage in the quest to hire and retain unique talent.

Attorneys for the State University of New York (SUNY) and advocates for Long Island College Hospital (LICH) announced on Thursday at state Supreme Court in Brooklyn that they had worked out a settlement so sweeping that history was being made.
After more than 30 hours of round-the-clock negotiations, lawyers for both sides declared before state Supreme Court Justice Johnny Lee Baynes, "We have a settlement!" but added that their clients had to formally vote to finalize the process before exact details could be publicly announced on Friday.
Update: Clink here to read details of the agreement.
A few of the details of the proposed agreement were described, however, in a somewhat dryly-worded joint release from Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, SUNY Chairman H. Carl McCall, and Mayor Bill de Blasio on Thursday afternoon.
According to their statement, the settlement includes "an expedited RFP [Request for Proposals] submission process" to find a new operator for LICH.
A new RFP taking the health needs of the community into consideration, rather than LICH's real estate value, was one of the core requirements of the coalition of community groups, unions, and others who have been fighting SUNY's attempts to close LICH.
The expedited RFP would turn around in a matter of weeks, with involvement from the community and elected officials, "followed by a seven-day selection period." Unlike SUNY's original RFP process, the community and elected officials would be allowed to hear bidders' proposals and have a voice in the final outcome.
"Today's agreement is a victory for all parties involved and paves the way for putting a long-term, sustainable health care facility in place for the residents of Brooklyn," Governor Cuomo said in the statement.
The Governor, who has worked to obtain Medicaid waiver funds for teetering Brooklyn hospitals, is aiming to cut back on hospital beds — which he called, "yesterday's costly, inefficient models of delivering service" — and replace them with primary care facilities as part of a health care redesign plan.
Mayor de Blasio and Public Advocate James planned a press conference for Friday after Justice Baynes' court session.
SUNY Chairman H. Carl McCall said the settlement "ensures New York's system of public higher education can once again return to its core academic mission.
"We have agreed to an expedited reopening of the RFP process because it was clear that this was the only way to end the costly and unproductive legal proceedings and was therefore in the best interest of SUNY," he said.
McCall urged the previous bidders in the two original RFP rounds "to resubmit their proposals," but at least one developer, the Peebles Corporation, was not sure it wanted to sign on for another go-round. "We aren't sure we are going to participate in a third round as we are losing confidence in the process," Peebles spokesman Robert Ford told the Brooklyn Eagle. "Our proposal, as it currently stands, combines the best healthcare and overall benefits for the community.
A participant close to the case told the Brooklyn Eagle late on Thursday that significant details were not fully discussed in the official statement, and re-iterated that stakeholders and the court had not yet approved the agreement.
Jim Walden of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, told the Eagle on Thursday, however, that the deal "achieves the core principles" that his clients have listed as priorities. Walden represents six community groups suing SUNY for its attempts to close LICH in the face of seven court orders issued by Justice Baynes. The groups include the Boerum Hill Association, Brooklyn Heights Association, Cobble Hill Association, Riverside Tenants Association, Carroll Gardens Neighborhood Association and Wykoff Gardens Association, Inc. Other parties to LICH lawsuits include NYSNA, 1199SEIU, Physicians for LICH and patients.
While details were not discussed on Thursday, attorneys in the courtroom sounded almost awestruck with the settlement, described as so "groundbreaking" that none of them had ever experienced anything like it in careers that stretched, in some cases, as far back as 40 years.
Walden, along with New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) attorney Richard Seltzer and SUNY attorney Frank Carone are among the attorneys who have been working on the massively complex case since it began a year ago.
They all expressed profound gratitude to Justice Baynes and credited him with guiding the parties to an ending that none could have predicted when the legal battle broke out.
For his part, Justice Baynes said he had not seen a case like this in all his years as a judge. "You train lawyers to try a case, not necessarily to settle a case – that's where the intangibles come in.
Adding a note of caution, he added, "Not to be premature, but I've been around 21 years . . . I'm hoping this is it." He everyone to get back to court at 2:30 p.m. on Friday.
LICH supporters leaving the courtroom after the proceedings were both jubilant and unsure of how complete their victory had been.
LICH coalition members heaped praise on Thursday on the elected officials representing LICH's service area — Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez, State Senator Daniel Squadron, Assemblywoman Joan Millman, and City Councilmembers Brad Lander, Steve Levin, and Carlos Menchaca – who have worked over the course of the year to preserve LICH.
"We've long urged SUNY and the State to agree to a new, more open RFP process for LICH, to make sure our community and all of Brooklyn have the best possible healthcare outcome.
"And, finally, SUNY has come to agreement with the community and healthcare providers on a process that achieves this basic goal, while offering added transparency and community input.
Community, union members and other LICH supporters have seen babies born, jobs lost, political reputations made, and lives transformed over the course of the long battle, which united neighborhoods from Red Hook to DUMBO in a remarkably cohesive coalition.
Adam Cohen, an associate at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, mused about his experience working on what has turned into an epic case.
"I feel very proud of this case, and of our firm," he told the Eagle. "Our commitment is just exemplary." Cohen said that Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher started on the case on July 19 for then-Public Advocate de Blasio. "It's been quite a ride – it's been spectacular," he said.
Updated at 10 p.m. with a quote from the Peebles Corporation.


Fresh produce, brilliant flowers, mouthwatering food, and live music.
The City of Rogers purchased an auto repair shop in 2015 on Cherry Street, and has renovated the space to be home to the new Downtown Rogers Farmers Market, managed by Main Street Rogers. The market opened April 30th of 2016, the market opened with over 40 vendors in drive-up bays. The indoor-outdoor facility is very unique and vendor friendly, and is expected to attract some of the best vendors from Northwest Arkansas to sell their goods.
The new market will not only be a place for farmers to have a permanent home to sell their goods, but also a gathering place for the community with space for food trucks and access to the Razorback Greenway trails which goes through the market itself and continues down to the new Railyard Bike Park. Families will now be able to ride their bikes to the market together, shop the market, dine together, and enjoy the activities of a revitalizing and growing Downtown Rogers district.


Two teenagers were injured when they were hit by a vehicle Friday morning in the western valley.
The crash happened about 5:20 a.m. at Tropicana Avenue and Durango Drive, police said.
Metro Lt. Peter Kisfalvi said both pedestrians appeared to be about 14 or 15 years old. One had minor injuries. The other was taken to University Medical Center with nonlife-threatening injuries.
The driver who hit the teenagers remained at the scene after the crash.
Westbound Tropicana was closed at Durango while police investigated but has reopened, according to the Regional Transportation Commission.


You may experience performance management as a chore.
We help you make it work.
We conduct Board and CEO evaluations which provide three unique advantages: an organisational psychologist and a governance and legal expert as evaluators; rigorous assessment instruments; and the SCARF interview model. The measures we employ focus on the strategic culture of the Board as well as Board member performance.
In parallel with the normal assessments about performance of members and effectiveness of committees, we measure the specific culture of the way the Board operates and interacts. It is a dynamic evaluation and allows for the Board to identify the type of culture it believes it has and the type of culture it believes it should have given future challenges.
Recent research establishes that Boards and CEOs are most effective when they have a strategic culture that mirrors and shapes the organisation's strategic goals.

Stephen Fry has performed another fact-based assessment of what Britain really wants in his latest Brexit video.
Calling out mainstream politicians for peddling inaccurate polling data he takes aim at Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and Ian Duncan Smith in an honest appraisal of the current political landscape.
The majority of polls suggest that Britain has changed its mind on Brexit since the referendum, yet that hasn't stopped Brexiteers using polling data to support their cause.
Fry calls Ian Duncan Smith out for saying leaving without a deal "gets the highest scoring of the lot" even though remaining in the EU is actually the clear favourite option.
He then delivers a final zinger towards the prime minister, saying that Theresa May has "mastered the art of lying with a grain of truth".

About 2 weeks after you sign up with any of our CPMFITness memberships you will receive an email introduction about our Nutrition Check-In Protocol. It will discuss why we do this appointment, what to look forward to, and we will provide you with some important info/links to look over prior to meeting with us.
Next we ask you record everything you eat for a week. This will give us a chance to take a look at your eating habits, what you eat, don't eat, your patterns, etc… It is encouraged to journal your food just like you journal your workouts.
Part 1 Recon: The Interview, Questions and Backstory = It's all about YOU!
Have answers to these questions ready for us.
Describe to us why you eat the way you do?
What is your background with nutrition and dieting?
What specific questions do you have about food/nutrition?
A misconception with these types of appointments is the coach tells you what to do and whether you like it or not you need to follow it. This is very far from reality. We work for you. You are our boss. We want to be very clear with what you want to accomplish with CPMFITness. Through your current habits and your goals you desire we canter the conversation, plan and how we help hold you accountable.
Lastly, what do you need help/advice with? (We find people fall within 3 categories of help).
Motivation: I'm just not motivated to eat better? I have no time? I hate cooking? I think I eat really well. Can someone just YELL at me?!?!
Accountability: I am a yo-yo dieter. Tips? Tricks? Can someone just YELL at me again?!?!
At this point we will talk and give you the back-story behind Paleo, Primal, Zone, and all the diets out there. We cover what we personally follow and why. What the typical American eats and why the current health stats are the way they are. How that can change and how important it is for you to change. Our aim is to educate and empower you on what's available, why they work and how it would apply to you. It all about providing you with the awareness (aka. truth) behind the methods and helping you make an educated decision for yourself.
We will then present you with a quick handout and guide explaining protein, carbs and fats: why and how to eat them. This will help you on what foods to add in and avoid. We will then provide more info on a food matrix, 30 day plans, shopping lists, great blogs to follow and learn from, tips and tricks on recovery, hydration, sleep and longevity. Everything you need to arm yourself with the information to succeed!
After your initial nutrition check in it is really the beginning not the end. All of the coaches at CPMFITness practice what they preach. We have all traveled a long road with nutrition in our FITness journey's and we are here for you. We have years of information, advice, ideas, tricks, tips, etc. all of which you literally have access to whenever you need or want it. Talk about Cliff Notes! They say a great coach is the best student. All of our staff read, experiment and have seen changes in not only themselves but hundreds (if not thousands) of other clients over the years. And, if we don't know the answer to your question, I bet we can find the answer. Depending on the member we will do regular follow up's, audits and check in's. In addition we provide gym wide nutritonal challenges multiple times each year.

Seminar Youth Participation in Internet Governance
Category: Council of Europe, Internet, Internet literacy
Youth participation in Governance, credit globalplatform.org
On 24-26 October the Youth Department organises the seminar Youth participation in Internet Governance at the European Youth Centre Strasbourg.
The seminar explores how youth participation in Internet Governance can be ensured in a meaningful and inclusive manner and will formulate recommendations for future action to be taken by the Youth Department and the Council of Europe to support youth participation. The seminar invites 35 representatives of national youth councils, local national and international youth organisations, public authorities and various sectors of the Council of Europe secretariat involved in Internet governance,
Draft conclusions and recommendations
Draft Conclusions Seminar Youth participation in Internet Governance 20.12.2017
Background to the seminar and draft programme
European Youth Centre Strasbourg, France
Participation of young people in decision making is a structured process which, if done meaningfully and ethically, can bring social inclusion of young people and further support society develop. Youth participation in society at all levels and in all its areas has been always at the core of the mission of the youth sector of the Council of Europe as also reflected in the recent Recommendation CM/Rec (2016)7 on access to rights of young people and in the revised European Charter on the Participation of Young People in Local and Regional Life.
The Council of Europe youth sector has a unique model of youth participation in decision making at political and programme level, the co-management, where representatives of youth organisation (gathered in a body called Advisory Council on Youth) and representatives of the states-party to the European Cultural Convention (European Steering Committee on Youth) take decisions together by consensus.
Young people are the main users of Internet among population groups in Europe. They experience online and offline life as a continuum and reportedly make use in high numbers of the Internet on a daily basis. They are also more skilled than older generations and this gap is likely to increase in the following years with more digital natives entering youth. However, there are significant numbers of young people that currently cannot enjoy access to the Internet and that are more likely to experience an ever increasing gap with more public services becoming available mostly online.
Protection from hate speech, credit Nicolas Vadot
The Council of Europe has recognized early on the importance of the Internet as both a tool and a public space for democracy, highlighting the fact that human rights should equally apply online and offline. The Convention of Cybercrime and the increasing inclusion of Internet dimensions in other standard setting documents of the organisation (i.e. Convention on Preventing and Combating Domestic Violence), together with the Guide to human rights for Internet users show a constant concern. The Committee of Ministers has also adopted an Internet Governance Strategy (2016-2019) further articulates the aims of the organization in this respect focusing on further developing Internet's function for democracy and participation, ensuring the respect of human rights online, and on ensuring security and online safety for all.
The Youth Department of the Council of Europe has developed a significant level of expertise and experience through the No Hate Speech Movement Campaign (2013 onwards) in engaging young people online and developing their capacity and competences in combatting discrimination and racism online. Through the campaign, young people and their organisations have also become involved in matters of Internet Governance through participation in the Internet Governance Forum and EuroDiG in the past 5 years.
The priorities of the youth sector for 2018-2019 place a strong emphasis on the development of competences of young people and youth organisations in influencing decision making processes, especially in respect to e-forms of youth participation and promotion of human rights online. This is seen as part of the follow-up to the No Hate Speech Movement campaign.
The seminar "Youth participation in Internet Governance" will explore how participation of young people in shaping the Internet can be ensured without reproducing and creating new patterns of exclusion. It will critically review how youth participation shapes currently Internet Governance processes, as well as how it is currently reflected in and through youth policy. The seminar will formulate recommendations for future action to be taken by the Youth Department of the Council of Europe, but as well as at national level through youth policy and youth work in order to support young people and their organisations meaningful participation in Internet Governance processes.
The objectives of the seminar are:
to develop a shared understanding of youth participation in Internet governance and analyse the achievements and pitfall of current youth participation in these processes;
to critically review the ways youth participation in Internet Governance is reflected in youth policy and envisage ways it should be;
to further explore what are the rights, the means, the spaces, the opportunities and the support required by young people in order to meaningfully participate in the shaping of the Internet;
to share experiences of youth participation in Internet governance fora and online youth participation at local/national/ international level, and reflect on the successes and pitfalls;
to elaborate policy and programme recommendations for the Youth Department and the Council of Europe that aim to support and enhance youth participation in Internet Governance.

Jeep says it might drop Cherokee name in response to Cherokee Nation objections
By Chris Isidore and Peter Valdes-Dapena, CNN
Chief of Cherokee Nation asks Jeep to stop using tribe's name
Jeep's new boss says the company is open to dropping the name "Cherokee" from its vehicles in response to objections from the Cherokee Nation.
The company is engaged in talks with officials from the Native American tribe, according to Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis, the recently merged automaker that includes the Jeep brand. Tavares made the comment in an interview with the Wall Street Journal and his comments were confirmed by the company, CNN reported.
"We are ready to go to any point, up to the point where we decide with the appropriate people and with no intermediaries," he said when asked about dropping the name. "At this stage, I don't know if there is a real problem. But if there is one, well, of course we will solve it."
RELATED: Chief of Cherokee Nation asks Jeep to stop using tribe's name: 'It's time to retire use of Native American names'
The objections to the name were raised by Chuck Hoskin Jr., principal chief of the Cherokee Nation.
"I think we're in a day and age in this country where it's time for both corporations and team sports to retire the use of Native American names, images and mascots from their products, team jerseys and sports in general," he said in a statement last month.
The Grand Cherokee is one of the best-selling models any of Stellantis' brands in terms of global sales. It is No. 2 in the company's US sales, behind only the Ram pickup, and the Cherokee is No. 4 in US sales. The Cherokee name was first used on a Jeep SUV in 1974, and has been in use by Jeep on either the Cherokee or Grand Cherokee ever since.
The discussion around the Cherokee name comes as many sports teams and companies are rethinking logos that rely on racist or stereotypical representations of minorities.
The Washington Football team last summer dropped its "Redskins" name, and the Cleveland Indians baseball team followed suit a few months later. Land O' Lakes butter last year removed an image of a Native American woman from its label. Other food brands including "Aunt Jemima," have also begun rebranding amid a national reckoning over institutional racism.

Councillor Angela Hooper CBE, 1937 - 2010, champion of Westminster's heritage and built environment for 25 years.
Most if not all of Victoria Street has been rebuilt over recent years and Westminster Council has taken the opportunity to name a space after one of their own. One wonders what Hooper, with her conservation and heritage background, would have thought of what's been done to Victoria Street, here, literally, in her name.
Ian Visits gave us the precise date that this station was opened: 10 March 1932.


This is a vastly improved version of a classic ALT activity involving a plane crash and subsequent escape from the jungle.
The original can be found in various places and guises, including this one here. It invariably looks 40 years old, so I spent the last half an hour making it more modern.
And here it is. You can use it for both the regular "I will..." form, and the question form.
As you can see, I gave it an amusing backstory of traveling to England to punch David Beckham in the face. you can change this if you want, but it's not relevant. The plane crashes and everyone else died. They must fight their way out of the Burmese rainforest Rambo style.
The first sheet has a load of items which are remnants of the plane crash. Students must select six items which they think will be the most useful/humourous for them to take with them.
On sheet two they write the sentence for their item e.g. "I will take a torch" and, why.
NB: Usually students have not yet studied the "to (verb)" form e.g. "to fight a gorilla". I usually just let them to it anyway, because it's simple enough for them to just use it straight away. However, a teacher once asked me to let students write that part in Japanese. So check fist.
When all students have finished the sheet, they stand up, make pairs and janken.
The winner asks "Will you take an AK47?" etc.
They ask about the items which they themselves have chosen. If the answers match their own, then can tick that item off their list.
Tick off all the items and you can sit down.
That's it. If you try it, let us know how it goes.
I also tell them I know what they need to survive. If they pick the same 6 items as me, they WILL survive, if they have 5, maybe, 2 or 1, oh dear, and 0 they WILL die...not like I am trying to kill off my students or anything.
Perhaps it can be adapted for survival of a boring grammar lesson ...!
OK OK - what are the 6 that will actually ensure survival?!
My worksheet is actually a little different to Dom's.
A mirror - To reflect light to tell the rescuers where you are!


A new tab 'Results' has been added.
It will include all overall standings from State and TT series.
A copy of the full results, including individual heats can be found in the Paper Trail.
A copy of the VS Handbook is now available in the Paper Trail.
In this you will find key information, e.g Sail Plans, Class Restrictions and Measurements.

Q: How to integrate e-commerce or shopping cart into website without using a template? An associate of mine wants me to add simple e-commerce functionality into their website.  I have researched the possible solutions to this project for some time now and everything I have seen, including Magnento/osCommerce/BigCommerce/zendcart/etc., all seem to be storefronts and templates you have to style to look like your website.
I do not wish to use the storefronts or templates which may or may not become difficult to style using CSS. I'm looking for some open source PHP solutions I can add into already existing website pages for instance My Bag, Add to Cart, etc;
I don't necessarily need fancier functions such as coupon redeeming and tax calculators especially if I can extend a current platform on my own.
Is there any shopping cart solution I can use which will not force me into an entirely new template I'd have to further style?

A: E-commerce is a lot more complicated than you think. Even something as simple as a persistent shopping cart that allows your user to add a bunch of items takes a fairly significant amount of code. Then there is the whole checkout process and order tracking/fulfilment thing as well. Any true shopping cart is going to include shipping options, payment options, a cart of some sort, a check out process, order generation, etc. If you just want to sell a couple products then just use Paypal or Google Checkout.

A: Jcart can do it, and it seems really basic :
http://conceptlogic.com/jcart/install.php

A: Just code one, its far simple than find out one, configuring it to suit your taste

A: A little late but you could integrate Moltin with your frontend via the API. However it's a SaaS platform and it will require a little work to integrate. Should give you flexibility by allowing you to choose which components you use without the templates.
