Un , « signe cabalistique » ou sceau est une figure graphique qui représente, en magie, un être ou une intention magique. Le terme provient du latin sigillum qui signifie « signature ».

Dans les cérémonies magiques médiévales, le sigil était souvent utilisé afin de se référer aux signes occultes représentant les divers anges et démons que le magicien invoquait.

Au , les sigils magiques sont la plupart du temps des concentrations visuelles de la volonté du magicien. Le concept en fut créé par le peintre et occultiste Austin Osman Spare. Il mit au point une méthode par laquelle une intention magique basée sur un sort quelconque pouvait être rendue sous forme de dessin porteur de l'intention magique projetée en lui par la volonté du magicien. La volonté du magicien est chargée dans le sigil et devient alors efficace en tant que courant d'énergie.

La conception de sigils peut aussi être rapportée à une forme de magie personnelle, qui permet de mêler plusieurs symboles, de cultures et d'origines différentes. On peut y trouver également plusieurs alphabets magiques ou encore des signes astrologiques. La réalisation de sigils a été fortement mise en avant par plusieurs auteurs dans la magie du Chaos.

Usages historiques

Le sigil magique est une forme commune de travail magique parmi les pratiquants. Les symboles et signes ont toujours été des outils des magiciens et alchimistes.

Dans le cérémonial magique médiéval, le terme sigil était couramment utilisé pour désigner des signes occultes représentant divers anges et démons qu'un magicien pouvait invoquer. Les livres de pratique de la magie, les grimoires, listaient souvent des pages sur de tels sigils. Une liste particulièrement connue est contenue dans le Lemegeton dans laquelle les sigils de 72 princes de hiérarchie de l'enfer sont donnés pour l'usage des magiciens. De tels sigils étaient considérés comme l'équivalent « vrai nom » de l'esprit, et donc donnait au magicien un moyen de contrôle sur les êtres.

Les sigils sont aussi communément trouvés dans le mysticisme juif et la magie kabbalistique (qui est un point de vue particulier de Sefer Raziel HaMalakh et d'autres sources mystiques juives médiévales) sur lesquels une grande partie de la magie occidentale est fondée.

Medical Advancement
Florida Researchers Develop Bio-Ink to 3D Print Human Cornea
Researchers from Florida A&M University developed a bio-ink and 3D printed a human cornea which they believe could lead to huge advancements in the medical field.
Mandip Sachdeva is a Pharmaceutics professor at Florida A&M University who led a team of researchers to 3D print human cells and form a cornea. The work is heralded as a scientific breakthrough.
By 3D printing a cornea which contains very similar materials to a real cornea, the researchers realized that one application could be to reduce the need for animal testing for eye products such as gels and drops.
The team is now working on creating a blinking eye model which would be used for in vitro model to help understand the permeation of drugs in other research. Sachdeva explains:
"There is no good system to screen them… We simulate the human system. The cornea will have several of the cells lined up and you can study how much drug is going through and what's happening in a much more efficient manner and minimize animal testing."
The researchers hope that one day the 3D printed cornea could be transplanted. However, to get to this point requires a lot more research and testing.
The researchers used a Cellink Bio X bioprinter to 3D print a human cornea (Source: USA Today)
3D Printing Corneal Transplants
The US-based researchers aren't the first to 3D print a cornea. Researchers from Newcastle University in the UK published a paper about their 3D printed human corneas last year.
However, Sachdeva's work builds on this research. He explains: "They printed one cornea. One of my team members (Dinh) said it takes so much time, if you want to print six corneas, or 12 corneas, how do we do that? My team developed a high throughput printing system wherein about 10 minutes, you can print about six corneas."
To do this, the team developed a bio-ink which would simulate human characteristics. The team used human cornea stromal cells. This was then printed using a Cellink Bio X bioprinter.
The resulting bio-ink has "beneficial flow properties" which Sachdeva believes will help future scientists to repeat their work. The researchers are now working on a journal paper to be submitted this month detailing the breakthrough.

Proposed rubbish collection hours 'logistical nightmare' for Valletta shops
A proposed waste collection scheme at night in Valletta could turn out to be a nightmare for business owners, one restaurateur told MaltaToday
3 January 2018, 7:01am
by Maria Pace
A proposed waste collection scheme at night in Valletta could turn out to be a nightmare for café owners and restaurateurs.
Earlier this month, a public consultation was launched on proposed changes to the Litter Act to change collection hours for waste, as Valletta prepares to take up the mantle of European Capital of Culture in 2018.
Under the proposed changes, waste will be collected between midnight and 3am, and between 3pm and 5pm every day, including Sundays and public holidays.
But one restaurateur, who preferred to stay anonymous, told MaltaToday the proposed plan had various logistical problems.
According to this complainant, the allocated times for waste collection make no sense for both business owners and residents.
"It's totally ludicrous," she said. "Residents won't be home between 3pm and 5pm… and they won't be happy being woken up by waste collections happening between midnight and 3am."
One Valletta resident, Reuben Grima, agrees. "This proposal is a non-starter for residents like myself," he said in a comment posted on MaltaToday's comment-board. "We cannot be at home between 3pm and 5 pm, because we are at work, and we would rather not wait up till midnight to take out the rubbish." The restaurateur adds that waste collection cannot be seen as an isolated problem in a city like Valletta.
"Although Valletta is being reformed in the run up to Valletta 18, there are still various major issues which aren't being tackled. There is no form of recycling for businesses and there is no source for recyclable waste integrated in the new plan. Although the city is packed with retail shops and restaurants, all their waste, including cardboard boxes, glass bottles and organic waste is collected together," she said."
And while businesses in Valletta pay a separate fee for waste collection and have their waste collected separately from residents, business owners are never informed who the collecting companies are, which means that if a problem occurs they cannot contact anyone.
There are around four of five different waste collecting companies in Valletta just for restaurants owners, on top of different collectors for retail, a waste collector for residents, as well as the bulky services.
"It is polluting Valletta with a lot of unnecessary vehicles," the restaurateur said.
She believes such issues should not be tackled just by politicians, but also by experts in the area.
"Although the politicians tackling issues in Valletta are trying to create better systems, they do not properly know how to logistically manoeuvre the issues." This, she says, is evident in the idea that fines of up to €2,000 would fix such problems like waste collection.
"It's very hard for businesses to bring in deliveries and supplies throughout the week, not to mention the massive parking problem inside the city. These issues should all be tackled together, rather through than separate plans which create further problems."

New Delhi: Former India coach Gary Kirsten has wished the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) luck as it gets down to appointing the next coach after Anil Kumble stepped down, citing difference in 'style' of working with skipper Virat Kohli. Kirsten was coach of the Indian team from 2008 till 2011 and the team led by MS Dhoni did well across all formats under Kirsten.
The race for the next India coach is getting hotter with former team director Ravi Shastri now throwing his hat in the ring. The BCCI has officially extended the timeline for submission of applications for the post of the head coach of the Indian cricket team to July 9.
Shastri had been approached by the BCCI and he had told the Indian board that he will apply for the position only if he is assured of getting the job. And looks like the assurance has come as he answered in the affirmative when asked if he had finally agreed to apply for the coach's post. "Yes, for sure," Shastri told CricketNext over a message.
Five candidates had applied for the job — former India opener Sehwag, Afghanistan coach Lalchand Rajput, Sunrisers Hyderabad coach Tom Moody, former Pakistan coach Richard Pybus and former India pacer Doda Ganesh. These names were short-listed to be interviewed by the Cricket Advisory Committee comprising of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman.
The race was supposed to be between these candidates and Anil Kumble before the latter declined to take a two-week extension and ruled himself out of the running, the BCCI then decided to call for more applications.

Title: Court of appeal
Subject: Libya, Willy De Clercq, 1989 attack on La Tablada Regiment
"Court of appeal" and "Court of appeals" redirect here. For other uses, see Court of appeal (disambiguation) and Court of appeals (disambiguation).
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page.
The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. Please improve this article and discuss the issue on the talk page. (September 2010)
An appellate court, commonly called an appeals court or court of appeals (American English)[1] or appeal court (British English) or court of second instance or second instance court, is any court of law that is empowered to hear an appeal of a trial court or other lower tribunal. In most jurisdictions, the court system is divided into at least three levels: the trial court, which initially hears cases and reviews evidence and testimony to determine the facts of the case; at least one intermediate appellate court; and a supreme court (or court of last resort) which primarily reviews the decisions of the intermediate courts. A jurisdiction's supreme court is that jurisdiction's highest appellate court.[2] Appellate courts nationwide can operate by varying rules.
The authority of appellate courts to review decisions of lower courts varies widely from one jurisdiction to another. In some places, the appellate court has limited powers of review. "Generally speaking, an appellate court's judgment provides 'the final directive of the appeals courts as to the matter appealed, setting out with specificity the court's determination that the action appealed from should be affirmed, reversed, remanded or modified'".[3]
1.1 Institutional titles
Main article: United States Supreme Court
In the United States, both state and federal appellate courts are usually restricted to examining whether the lower court made the correct legal determinations, rather than hearing direct evidence and determining what the facts of the case were. Furthermore, U.S. appellate courts are usually restricted to hearing appeals based on matters that were originally brought up before the trial court. Hence, such an appellate court will not consider an appellant's argument if it is based on a theory that is raised for the first time in the appeal.
In most U.S. states, and in U.S. federal courts, parties before the court are allowed one appeal as of right. This means that a party who is unsatisfied with the outcome of a trial may bring an appeal to contest that outcome. However, appeals may be costly, and the appellate court must find an error on the part of the court below that justifies upsetting the verdict. Therefore, only a small proportion of trial court decisions result in appeals. Some appellate courts, particularly supreme courts, have the power of discretionary review, meaning that they can decide whether they will hear an appeal brought in a particular case.
Institutional titles
Many U.S. jurisdictions title their appellate court a court of appeal or court of appeals.[4] Historically, others have titled their appellate court a court of errors (or court of errors and appeals), on the premise that it was intended to correct errors made by lower courts. Examples of such courts include the New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals (which existed from 1844 to 1947), the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors (which has been renamed the Connecticut Supreme Court), the Kentucky Court of Errors (renamed the Kentucky Supreme Court), and the Mississippi High Court of Errors and Appeals (since renamed the Supreme Court of Mississippi). In some jurisdictions, courts able to hear appeals are known as an appellate division.
The phrase "court of appeals" most often refers to intermediate appellate courts. However, the New York system is different: the "New York Court of Appeals" is the highest appellate court; and the phrase "New York Supreme Court" applies to the trial court of general jurisdiction.
Depending on the system, certain courts may serve as both trial courts and appellate courts, hearing appeals of decisions made by courts with more limited jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions have specialized appellate courts, such as the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, which only hears appeals raised in criminal cases, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which has general jurisdiction but derives most of its caseload from patent cases, on one hand, and appeals from the Court of Federal Claims on the other.

Each year he's been in office, state Rep. Timothy Hill, R-Blountville, has hosted a town hall meeting at the start of the legislaive session to discuss issues of interest with his constituents, and this year will be no different.
Hill is inviting the public to participate in a town hall at 6 p.m. on Feb. 8 at the Johnson County Welcome Center, 716 S. Shady St., in Mountain City.
"I've actually had a significant amount of my legislation over my time in the House come from these town halls," Hill, chairman of the newly formed House Commerce Committee, said.
Hill expects to discuss and gauge constituent feedback on a number of issues that will likely be debated during the first session of the 111th Tennessee General Assembly.
As of Monday, Hill has yet to file any legislation as a primary sponsor, but he has co-signed onto four bills, including state Rep. Micah Van Huss' heartbeat abortion ban.
This legislative session, House lawmakers are limited to filing just 15 bills, while committee chairmen can file up to five extra bills. The filing deadline is Feb. 6, so by the time Hill hosts the town hall, he hopes to have a better grasp of what new laws will be up for debate.
One proposal that will surely be discussed is Knoxville Sen. Richard Briggs' Senate Bill 0015, which would prohibit someone from drinking raw milk from a "hoofed mammal" they partially own.
Briggs' bill comes in a response to an E.coli outbreak in Knox County that was reportedly caused by the consumption of raw milk.
However, Briggs won't be getting Hill's support, as the House Commerce Committee chairman has already voiced his opposition to the bill.
"I've had a tremendous amount of feedback on Senate Bill 0015, and the attempt to change the regulations on raw milk consumption," Hill said.
Even though it has yet to be filed, state Rep. Sam Whitson, R-Franklin, is expected to file legislation for TennCare to adopt a Katie Beckett waiver, an effort Hill has thrown his support behind.
Tennessee is currently the only state is the nation that has not adopted the waiver, which would provide TennCare coverage, regardless of parents' income, for children with severe disabilities so they can receive care at home instead of a medical institution.

'100 per cent' and other annoying ways to tell someone you agree with them
WHY agree by saying 'yes' when you could annoy the crap out of someone by saying '100 per cent'? Try these irritating affirmatives:
100 per cent
The word 'yes' is elegant, precise and performs its job perfectly. Why, then, do so many people feel the need to mumble out this five-syllabled monstrosity in its place? It is not more positively affirming than saying yes; it just makes you sound like a prick.
Okey dokey
'Okey dokey' is a phrase so twee that the only people who can get away with saying it are children's TV presenters and characters in Wes Anderson films. If you get into the habit of using it regularly it's important to be aware that your family, friends and lovers all want to punch you every single time.
Yasss queen
Sounds great coming out of the mouth of a drag queen at a New York ball in the 1980s. However, when your line manager shrieks it at you in an office in Nuneaton because you've managed to fix the jam in the photocopier, it's nails down a blackboard.
Accompanied by the incitement-to-violence 'amazeballs, this actually makes you even more of a twat if you say it ironically. It may save you the 0.07 seconds of your life it would have taken to say 'totally', but you can say 'yes' even quicker without shaming yourself, your family and your culture.
Are you Snoop Dogg rolling a blunt in the early aughts? Or is it a misguided attempt to steal his Just Eat cool? If it's the latter, you must never, ever let this escape your lips again. Just nod from now on. Language is off-limits to you.
Dad getting drunk for Father's Day
A FATHER-OF-TWO has decided to celebrate Father's Day by drinking from lunchtime onwards, he has confirmed.
Joe Turner of Aylesbury thanked his children for their homemade cards and rudimentary gifts, then explained that what he really wanted to do to celebrate eight years of fatherhood was to get absolutely wrecked by 6pm.
He continued: "Open me a can, Tyler. Fetch the gin, Ruby. Today's all about Dad.
"I may not like golf, racing cars or jet aeroplanes but, like all fathers, I love beer, sitting down and sloughing off all responsibility to get really, really mashed.
"I'll be in this chair here downing the selection of high-strength ales you've bought me and I expect to laugh, to cry, to weep, to curse God, to babble incoherently and to wind up slumped on the floor whispering 'Why?'
"Once I was a young man, carefree, unattached. Today I drink like that man and for that man, for he is long gone. Want to join me? Eight isn't too young to start."
Son Tyler said: "Dads are weird and useless generally. But this I think I can respect."

Three males ages 13, 15 and 16 are being prosecuted in connection to a stabbing in the Ithaca Commons on Friday in which a male victim who was "bleeding profusely from the face and back" after being stabbed several times had to be transported to a regional trauma center via helicopter.
According to an updated press release from the Ithaca Police Department, "further investigation has revealed that the victim and the perpetrators had some familiarity with each other previously," reversing a previous statement that there was no apparent connection between the perpetrators and the victim.
The names of the perpetrators are still being withheld because of their juvenile status, but one of the perpetrators is also wanted on two other warrants from another state, in connection with a homicide and a violation of probation in connection with a rape.
The perpetrators were arrested on charges of charges of gang assault in the first degree and assault in the first degree, and two of them have cases pending in the Youth Part of the Superior Court and the other in the Tompkins County Family Court.
The victim was previously reported to be in a "critical but stable condition," and the police are not releasing any additional information about the incident at this time.

If you are in search for spider vein treatment and the likes, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it prevention or cure? When do you draw the line between health concerns and vanity?
The answer lies on your kind of personality and, of course, the gravity of the situation. While some people are contented by flaunting such signs of aging, others try too much to conceal the situation through make-up and other tanning options.
When is the best time to see a doctor with regards to this situation?
1. The veins are causing pains that you find hard to deal with. Such situation causes trouble with sleep and other things which you could have done without or with only little effort had you been not bothered by the condition.
2. The condition hinders you from performing well or looking good with the line of work that you are in. Although make-up can help you conceal the veins, you are becoming tired of the process and you want some long-lasting solutions to your dilemma.
3. This has led to some more serious medical state.
While you are young and you still don't have to deal with the discomfort that this condition can bring, your best option is to find ways on how you can prevent such. Here are some tips that you can try for this advent.
1. If you can avoid it, do not stand for a long time. If you really have to, make sure that you shift your weight from one leg to another. Do this regularly after a few minutes whenever you have to stand for a long time.
2. Too much sitting down will also contribute to the development of the veins. So if you have to do this, make sure that you stand up every once in a while. Take a brisk walk and make sure that you move about. This can be done every 30 minutes or so. You must also avoid sitting with your legs crossed.
3. Protect your skin from too much exposure from the sun. This will cause spider veins to develop on your face. Find a suitable sunscreen to make sure that your skin is protected whenever you have to be out under the sun's rays even for a little while.
4. Eat right and exercise. Exercises like walking, jogging and running help your veins to become strong. These improve blood circulation and help you develop well-toned legs. The right food can help you keep your body fit and help you stay clear from different types of sickness.
Your diet must be composed of food that is high in fiber. Make sure that your diet will have whole grain, vegetables and fresh fruits. Constipation increases the possibility of varicose veins. So it will really help if you will be able to lessen the situation. You must also take a deep consideration with regards to your salt intake. This may lead to swelling that may also cause for your veins to appear.
5. Be mindful of what you wear. The stockings that you must choose should be the type with elastic support. Do not wear anything that is very tight and will cause too much pressure and squeezing on your groin, leg and waist part.
When you are mindful about how to prevent the situation, you may never have to worry about finding the suitable varicose and spider vein treatment.


After Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy won the hearts of the public, it would be intimidating job for any filmmaker to reboot the heroic Bat vigilante for the big screen. Zack Snyder accepts the challenge and returns from Man of Steel to take the directorial reins - adapting a script from Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer. The result is Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, a watch soaked in a brutal nihilism and stirring visual bleakness that toys with the ideology of superheroes from a contemporary perspective.
Left incensed by the destruction caused by Superman (Henry Cavill) in his battle with General Zod, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) attempts to stop the hero. Meanwhile young tycoon Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) attempts to take matters into his own hands to wipe out the Superman, whilst political and social unrest about the Kryptonian's unchecked powers rises.
Goyer and Terrio have not only the responsibility of continuing the Superman arc from Man of Steel, but introducing another iconic hero in the form of Batman. In doing this, we have the traditional Bruce Wayne origin story which is dealt with in the film's early stages in an efficient, moderately-emotive manner leaving them to put their unique spin on the Gotham tycoon - which picks up watching Wayne's perspective of the Zod attack and exploring the personal destruction he faces. With this Wayne's motives and disdain for Superman are quickly established leaving exactly how he is going to reek his own brand of justice to make up the bulk of the narrative, whilst also giving us time to settle into Affleck's take on the character.
Affleck's casting is one of the finest elements of Batman v Superman. The actor's take on the character feels reminiscent of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns' version - with this Batman feeling a little more world weary, but with an angry lust for vengeance. Affleck physically fits the bill and convinces as an almost weaponised Batman both armoured and versed in brutal physical combat. We also have a fresh take on Alfred with a cold and steely Jeremy Irons making the perfect partner for Affleck's darker Gotham Knight.
In Metropolis, Superman has been portrayed as a God and Synder does a commendable job at presenting the hero as a deity descending from the skys in an number of emotive rescue sequences. However, Goyer and Terrio unveil seeds of unease and growing dissent as citizens turn against the hero. This feels like it could have gained from further development with perceptions to the hero changing almost between scenes - however, a later sequence set in the Capital Building makes up for that. This is where some of the problems arise between Batman v Superman - with a runtime that spans 150 minutes there should be sufficient development between key scenes and narrative shifts - yet this can occasionally feel lacking. Through this character motivations can seem misjudged and scenes can have a distinct, standalone quality that fights against narrative cohesion. Within this, however, Snyder interestingly examines the value of the superhero in an age where social and political mistrust, terrorism and cruelty fill the media. This is a landscape where the likes of Luthor thrive and heroes struggle to do good.
Within this tenuous narrative thread we have introductions to Lex Luthor - with your opinion on the character likely to be dependent on your tolerance level to Jesse Eisenberg's snarky, nervous demeanour. More successfully we have our first look at Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman who appears throughout the narrative fleetingly, yet impresses enough to get us excited for her standalone film from Patty Jenkins.
Further issues arise in a third act which repeats many of the mistakes made in Man of Steel's chaotic finale. Whilst the battle between our titular opponents is done with a crushing brutality that ultimately satisfies, the threat which brings them together - in this case, Doomsday - sees proceedings turn into a chaotic attack of flames, crashing rubble and explosive destruction. Nonetheless, Batman v Superman still feels stylistically impressive and visually arresting - presenting a superhero film at its most refreshingly bleak and nihilistic (free from the Marvel sheen). Snyder's take is an unapologetically grim one - where Batman brands his victims and each blow feels like a hammering punch to the gut. It's a refreshing change of tone.
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is an unapologetically brutal welcome to a new DC universe that has us excited about its future - particularly one revolving around Affleck's gritty new Batman.

I was intending on posting about something else this week, but I was in Chipotle a few days ago and I had an experience that was disgusting and left a bad taste in my mouth since. I was reading their cup which displayed their company timeline, and in 2000, the company began buying pork from pigs that were raised with room to "root and roam" and not given antibiotics (their website specifically refers to "subtherapeutic antibiotics"), which in itself is a disingenuous and misguided pursuit of being ethical while slaughtering animals. But that's not even what affected me the most, below those meaningless words was the following: "No Animal Cruelty". This is probably one of the most ridiculous and misrepresentative thing I've seen in a long time, probably ever. Cruelty free is never something that can be used to describe animal agriculture and the fact that they tried has some serious and upsetting implications. That made me angry and upset, because it deeply and unfortunately misunderstands two fundamental principles.
First and most obviously, claiming there is no animal cruelty is just about as oxy-moronic as it is moronic. Words like "free-range" and "humane" are gimmicky, meaningless buzz-words, but even they are arguably more valid than claiming meat is cruelty free. It really is stupid to make such a claim. How can they declare their meat is free from cruelty? It is inherently cruel to harbor and harvest animals to see their meat, especially in a time when it is no longer necessary for the developed world. More importantly, who are they to even think something like that? The overseers and the people who carry out this practice of animal agriculture are in no place to even make such a repulsive and ignorant claim.
The audacity this company is exhibiting by making such a false and ignorant statement about their meat is disconcerting, because they don't just do it to make themselves feel like good corporate citizens, they also do it to make people feel good.
The second principle is that this deceitful language only bolsters peoples' consumption because they think the pigs were happy to be capitalized, held captive, slaughtered, and sold. Their cups and their website ignorantly boast that their pigs are happier and healthier that other pigs and the company is intentional about using pigs on farms with room to "root and roam"… Any degree of happiness or health these pigs have over others in factory farms, if even true, is negligible because they all share the same fate. And without knowing anything about their conditions, it's a safe assumption it's abhorrent and wrong. These pathetic appeals are a deceptive distraction from the reality that these animals are doomed to die for our food.
This principle reflects something a very sad and ugly tendency about people. If they can find justification, then they will eat meat and dairy. If the words happy and healthy are there, then it's okay to pay for the slaughter of those animals. If they can roam and root then it's okay that we pay for their captivity and inevitable removal from those so-called good settings. It's easy to refute this flawed logic: better than the worst still doesn't mean it's good; happier and healthier animals aren't happy or healthy. No animal is happy in those settings and they are unhealthy for them.
It's an arbitrary standard that belies reality for the sake of our diets and attempts to justify the unnecessary and cruel capitalization, captivity, slaughter, and sale of innocent and defenseless animals. I will be contemplating ways to engage with the company to have this period on the timeline removed, or at least to have them remove "No Animal Cruelty". I supposed they could always say "Less Animal Cruelty", but the hypocrisy becomes obvious with that. The reality is, again, that cruelty is inherent in harboring and harvesting animals, the only cruelty free choice is veganism.

Breaking Open the Digital Commons to Fight Corporate Capitalism
Michael A. Peters,
Radical Political Knowledge Economy
In this story, Michael A. Peters discusses the importance of pushing governments and the private sector to invest in public digital infrastructure. This is essential, he argues, to fight corporate capitalism and promote universal access to knowledge and education.
(Image: Global Circuit via Shutterstock)Jean-François Lyotard's (1984) major hypothesis in "The Postmodern Condition" stated that, "the status of knowledge is altered as societies enter what is known as the postindustrial age and cultures enter what is known as the postmodern age."[1] I focus on the political economy of postindustrialism as a history of the increasing spatialization of time, knowledge and education that takes the global form of integrated world capitalism (IWC), structured through emerging global information systems and new media networks. This is an approach that I first developed in "Poststructuralism, Marxism and Neoliberalism: Between Theory and Politics" (Peters, 2001) which focused on reinterpreting the culture of Western Marxism and contemporary neoliberal capitalism. One of the book's main arguments is that poststructuralism is not a form of anti-Marxism. Indeed, poststructural philosophers view themselves in some kind of relationship to the legacy of Marx: either they have been Marxist or still view themselves as Marxist. In a post-Marxist (postmodern) era, they have invented new ways of reading and writing Marx in order to contribute to the radical political economy of postindustrialism.

The other major argument of the book concerns a critical engagement with neoliberalism, an ideology that is committed to the revitalization of homo economicus where the social is re-described in terms of the economic, resting on three assumptions: the assumption of individuality (the individual as choice-making entity); the assumption of rationality; and the assumption of self-interest. In the age of information networks, these defining assumptions of homo economicus are no longer valid. If we follow Foucault (2008) in "The Birth of Biopolitics," homo economicus is what the two forms of liberalism, the "classical" and the "neo," share: the way in which they both place a particular "anthropology" of man as an economic subject at the basis of politics. The difference between the two forms is the shift from an anthropology of exchange to one of competition.
Where exchange was treated as natural in liberal political economy, neoliberalism considers competition as artificial – which necessitates a constant intervention on the part of the state to protect against the tendency toward monopoly. The shift results in a massive expansion of economics because if economics is a science that defines human behavior as relationship between ends and scarce means (Gary Becker's definition) then all behavior can be regarded as economic, and labor, or the worker, can be regarded as human capital. As Foucault (2008: 226) puts it, "Homo economicus is an entrepreneur, an entrepreneur of himself" (see Besley & Peters, 2008). Thus, Foucault takes neoliberalism to be a new mode of "governmentality," in which people are governed and govern themselves (Reed, 2009).
I view liberalism and neoliberalism as essentially modern forms of political economy (governmentalities of the modern era) in contrast to postmodern forms of political economy based on a cybernetic conceptions of global economy and society that focused on networks. This distinction is brought out clearly in the contrast between what Foucault calls disciplinary societies and what Deleuze calls societies of control. Cybernetic forms of (postindustrial) global capitalism, or IWC (Integrated World Capitalism), make problematic notions of multiple or alternate globalizations. Postindustrial capitalism differs from industrial capitalism in terms of five basic features of economic systems – the technological base, the relationship between time and space, the nature of commodities, the organization of business, and the model of development (Liagouras, 2005). The information revolution – by enforcing an amazing compression of the time-space equation – opens up new perspectives of economic integration. As Manuel Castells writes:
The informational economy is global. A global economy is a historically new reality, distinct from a world economy. A world economy, that is an economy in which capital accumulation proceeds throughout the world, has existed in the West at least since the sixteenth [century], as Fernand Braudel and Immanuel Wallerstein have taught us. A global economy is something different: it is an economy with the capacity to work as a unit in real time on a planetary scale (Castells, 1996: 92).
Lyotard's Critique of Capitalist Techno-Science
For Lyotard (1984) the history of globalization is above all a history of the way knowledge has become transformed into information, that is, into coded messages within a capitalist techno-scientific system of cybernetic transmission and communication that has dissolved epistemic and narrative coherence. In these terms, the history of IWC as an emerging global techno-scientific system is a history of both the increasing formalization, abstraction, and mathematicization of language and communication where 'space annihilates time' (the late modern), and there is a shift from closed to open systems (the postmodern) based on mathematical principles of non-linear and dynamic self-organization.
Kantian (modern liberal) culture was based on the categories of time and space inherited from the best science at the time (e.g., Newtonian physics) that treated them as the permanent and absolute framework of our cognitive schema, shaping the very sense impressions we receive from the world and making them intelligible. Before Kant, space and time were treated separately, although often interdependently. The concept of time as the single notion of spacetime only received its scientific statement in mathematics and physics at the turn of the century with Albert Einstein. In the "natural philosophy" of the modern period, from Descartes to Newton, time and space were posited as absolute entities. Only with Einstein's theories of relativity in 1905 and 1916 did the understanding that spacetime is relative to the observer begin to impact upon contemporary social theory, aesthetics and the succession of avant-gardes. The relation between the science of linguistics, mathematics and topology is one of the driving logics for the development of structuralism as an aspect of European formalism beginning in pre-revolutionary Russia (Peters, 1996). This spatialized mathematics spreads across the disciplines in physics, mathematics (especially, the Bourbaki group), biology, linguistics, poetics, art, cultural theory, genetic epistemology and education (stages of children's thinking) (Piaget, 1970). Spatial turns can also be witnessed in phenomenology with its focus on the body (e.g., Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre), in the geography-centered Annales school (Bloch, Febvre, Braudel), and in revitalized traditionally spatial disciplines such as architecture, urban planning and geography (Lefebvre, Harvey, Soja, Massey) (Peters, 2010).
Geographers such as David Harvey (1990) have been to the forefront, in particular, in examining and explaining time-space compression as part of the postmodern condition. The change in the human experience of space and time is for Harvey the most important cultural change in the transformation from Fordism to flexible accumulation – and from modernity to postmodernity. His analysis of time-space compression is linked to an analysis of the structural transformation of the capitalist system, and he argues that with the advent of the speed of faster telecommunications, the production of real commodities ceased to be essential to the system, and that the financial system simultaneously became global at the same time as becoming de-linked to the production of real commodities.
Lyotard (1984) was the first to suggest that for the last 40 years, the "leading" sciences and technologies have had to do with language: phonology and theories of linguistics, problems of communication and cybernetics, modern theories of algebra and informatics, computers and their languages, problems of translation and the search for areas of compatibility among computer languages, problems of information storage and data banks, telematics and the perfection of intelligent terminals, to paradoxology.
Later he uses the mathematicians Thom and Mandlebrot to point to "postmodern science [that] … by concerning itself with such things as undecidables, the limits of precise control, conflicts characterized by incomplete information, "fracta", catastrophes, and pragmatic paradoxes – is theorizing its own evolution as discontinuous, catastrophic, nonrectifiable, and paradoxical" (p. 60).
Lyotard (1984) combined the analysis of postmodernism with postindustrialism, reviving the sociological theory of (post)industrialism that can be traced back to the first critiques of industrial political economy around alienated labor (Marx), aesthetics of the arts and crafts movements (Morris, Ruskin), modern technology (Heidegger) and global ecology, and at the same time projected it into the future, anticipating discourses of the knowledge and creative economies that make higher education and research central "industries" or leading economic sectors. His account of the postmodern condition provided grounds for the critique of the knowledge/information economies at least in its neoliberal forms in terms of the logic of "performativity."
It should therefore come as no surprise that scholars have claimed that the philosophical roots of French (poststructuralist) theory and the techno-scientific foundations of cyberspace are born of the one and same cybernetic matrix that was formulated in the aftermath of the Second World War, essentially as an industrial-military project by the likes of Norbert Wiener, Claude Shannon and many others in the series of Macy conferences that focus on understanding language and communication as a informational system (Heims, 1991; Lafountaine, 2007).
From Disciplinary Societies to Societies of Control
Both Foucault and Deleuze discuss this spatialization of knowledge, history and education in terms of the global shift from disciplinary societies to societies of control, from spaces of enclosure exemplified by Euclidean geometry to open systems based on complexity theory emphasizing non-linear and dynamical progression. Derrida (1974) also emphasizes that the closure of metaphysics takes place with development of linguistics, mathematics and cybernetics where the written mark or signifier of the traditional logos has become purely technical, that is, a matter of function rather than meaning. Like Heidegger (1998) in "The Question Concerning Technology," he indicates that the metaphysics of presence dominating 2,500 years of Western philosophy has come to a closure (though not termination) in a kind of hyperreality – a network of images and signs without an external reference – which is the result of the technological mediation of experience (Baudrillard, 1993).
For example, in "Discipline and Punish" (1979) Foucault talks of disciplinary techniques in terms of "the art of distributions." The monastic model of enclosure became the most perfect educational regime and "partitioning" (every individual had his or her own place). "The rule of functional sites" refers to the ways that architects designed space to correspond to the need to supervise and to prevent "dangerous communication." Foucault argues "the organization of a serial space was one of the great technical mutations of elementary education" (p. 131) that made it possible to supersede the traditional apprenticeship system where the pupil spends a few minutes with the master while the rest of the group remains idle. He discusses the means of correct training in terms of "hierarchical observation", as he suggests "the school building was to be a mechanism for training" … a "pedagogical machine" (p. 172). Most famously, Foucault, discusses "panopticism" – a system of surveillance, based on Jeremy Bentham's architectural figure, that operates by permitting the relentless and continual observation of inmates at the periphery by officials at the center, without them ever being seen. "Discipline and Punish" is concerned with the operation of technologies of power and their relations to the emergence of knowledge in the form of new discourses, based around modes of objectification through which human beings became subjects. Bentham's "panopticum" became for Foucault that exemplary, utopian, transparent space that permitted the production of new knowledge by the human sciences that developed and enhanced disciplinary technologies of power and the objectification of the human subject in other institutions like schools and other domains outside the penal system. Educational "science" grew up in this historical environment as one such discipline that permitted the creation of a kind of control to be exercised upon children in order to render their bodies both docile and productive.
By contrast, Deleuze (1995: 174 ) suggests, "We're moving toward control societies that no longer operate by confining people but through continuous control and instant communication." New open spatial forms – open systems rather than closed systems – interconnected, flexible and networked "architectures" are supplanting the older enclosures. Forms of "lifelong education," "distance education" and "continuous training" have been conceived as part of a new educational "architecture" designed to support the global "knowledge economy." We are in a period of generalized crisis in relation to all environments of enclosure. Institutions built on the model of enclosed spaces, that is, the institutions of modernity – school, family, prison, factory, clinic – are finished, despite all efforts to reform them. The closed system, the enclosed space, and institutions built on its processes of concentration and distribution, are being replaced by the open system based on the control model of the network. These networks are both more malleable and more flexible.
At the point when a concept of difference seemingly makes room conceptually for "petit recits" (little histories, that is, mini-narratives), and on a grander scale, alternative and multiple modernities (Gaonkar, 1999; Eisenstadt, 2000), the shift from the industrial logic of one-way broadcast media systems to new global information systems presages a new monopolization and privatization of knowledge by the new info-utilities (Microsoft, Amazon.com., Google). Given an emerging world global communications infrastructure that has strong technically integrative and homogenizing tendencies, to what extent we can legitimately talk about "modernities," or indeed, "capitalisms" in the plural, and to what extent are there divergent development paths or Oriental and Islamic globalizations? (Keping, 2003; Bennison, 2002)
The Emergence of Global Information Systems
The emergence of global information systems and new media networks thus can be seen as the emergence of a global political economy that takes modernity as a central concept for understanding the development of the world in terms of the premodern, the modern and the postmodern, and projects globalization as a technical integration of the world economy driven increasingly by global informational capitalism (Castells, 2000; Featherstone, 2006; Fuchs, 2008). This is one reading of the history of postmodernism that anchors itself in the concept of the postindustrial and emphasizes the future of a global postindustrial economy in which the creation, distribution, diffusion and use of information is the central defining characteristic.
The history of postindustrialism is a conceptual history of the future, a description based on a recognition of leading "industrial" sectors within the most advanced economies. It is both a prescription for curing the ills of society and a radical political economy of contemporary capitalism. The information society has been seen as a successor to the industrial society and generated a range of terms that signal its deep structural transformation: "postindustrial" (Drucker, Bell, Touraine), "post-Fordism'"(Piore & Sabel), "postmodern" (Toynbee, Lyotard) and, more recently, "information society" (Machlup, Porat), "network society" (Castells, Fuchs), "knowledge economy" (OECD, Stiglitz), "knowledge capitalism" (Peters & Besley) and "cognitive capitalism" (Negri). The history of these terms' social theory exposes the ideological roots of the concept of globalization as it both describes and prescribes certain development trajectories. There are multiple competing historical narratives here, including those currently in vogue that begin with the decline of the West and the rise of the rest, and chart the shift of the center of economic power away from Euro-America to Asia – China, India and the other three BRICS countries, Brazil, Russia and South Africa.
In a variety of publications over the last couple of decades, I have attempted to chart both the significance of poststructuralism (e.g., Peters, 1996, 2001) as well as to adopt poststructuralist theory as a matrix for entertaining critical histories of postindustrial knowledge economies and the influence they exert on education systems (Peters & Besley, 2006; Peters, 2008; Peters et al, 2009,2010a, 2010b; Peters, 2010; Araya & Peters, 2010; Peters & Bulut, 2011). Significantly, the emerging political economy of education and knowledge under the development of global information and learning systems points to the dominance of a global informational (cybernetic) capitalism that threatens to engulf education by (1) providing the infrastructure and code for global education systems and (2) establishing processes that lead to the monopolization and privatization of both education and knowledge. This has been one of the fundamental facts of educational development in the late 20th and early 21st centuries (Peters, 2009). Postindustrial informational capitalism emerges as the third stage of capitalism – after merchant capitalism (where capital occupied the sphere of exchange) and industrial capitalism (where rationalization of labor becomes the main source of capital) – societal and individual symbolic resources (cognitive, communicative and aesthetic) become subordinated to the movement of capital.
Yet the same cybernetic paradigm that laid the foundations for an informational system of communication and global capitalism based upon it also encourages new forms of openness that simultaneously encourage an interactive participation and ethic of collaboration, creating and reconfiguring global public spaces and forms of open education (Peters & Britez, 2008; Peters & Roberts, 2011). As I have argued recently:
What I call "open knowledge production," certainly, is based upon an incremental, decentralized (and asynchronous), collaborative development process, but whether it transcends the traditional proprietary market model, as Benkler and others claim, is yet to be determined. While it is true that commons-based peer production is based on free cooperation and not on the selling of one's labour in exchange for a wage; and that it is not motivated primarily by profit or for the exchange value of the resulting product; still, it is not yet clear whether this constitutes an entirely new mode of social production, or the extent to which it exists independently or parasitically on existing capitalist modes of production. While it is the case that commons-based production is managed through new modes of peer governance rather than traditional organizational hierarchies, and that it is an innovative application of copyright that creates an information commons, it is still not clear to me that it transcends the limitations attached to both the private (for-profit) and public (state-based) property forms (Peters, 2009: 55).
In a time of crisis that follows the financialization of the world economy, its deregulation, new levels of corporate fraud and financial criminalization at the core of the system, [2] one of the most constructive responses is the openness movement that seeks to encourage governments and the private sector to invest in public digital infrastructures to protect knowledge diversity and promote universal access to knowledge and education.

Public Transportation in the Philippines: A Glimpse of the Future - JAPANESE-FUNDED RAILWAY PROJECTS
THERE IS HOPE IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT!
Watch: A glimpse of the future for the Public Transportation in the Philippines, as we unveil the ongoing JAPANESE-FUNDED RAILWAY PROJECTS of the Department of Transportation (DOTr).
Here's a sneak peek of the following ongoing JAPANESE-FUNDED RAILWAY PROJECTS of the Department of Transportation (DOTr):
http://www.build.gov.ph/
- North-South Commuter Railway Project
- PNR Clark Phase 1 (Tutuban to Malolos, Bulacan)
- PNR Clark Phase 2 (Malolos to Clark, Pampanga)
- PNR Calamba (Manila to Calamba, Laguna)
- Metro Manila Subway (Quezon City to NAIA)
- LRT-1 Cavite Extension (Baclaran to Niog, Cavite)
- LRT-2 East Extension (Pasig to Masinag, Antipolo)
- MRT-3 Rehabilitation and Maintenance
- Philippine Railway Institute
These game changing railways initiatives form part of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte's massive "Build, Build, Build" Infrastructure Program, as carried out under the visionary leadership of DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade.
These projects are now underway and are right on track for completion with their target deadline dates. Once operational, these mass transport systems will enable our dream of progress and development, as well as full connectivity and mobility, to become reality.
Exciting times indeed!

Rail transportation in the Philippines is currently used mostly to transport passengers within Metro Manila and the nearby province of Laguna, as well as a commuter service in the Bicol Region. Freight transport services once operated in the country, but these services were halted. However, there are plans to restore old freight services and build new lines

DuterteNomics or Dutertenomics is a catch-all term referring to the socioeconomic policies of Rodrigo Duterte, President of the Philippines. A significant part of the policy includes the development of infrastructure and industries.[1] The program also involves the continuation of some projects under the previous administration of President Benigno Aquino III

PHL, Japan meeting on Build, Build, Build projects
PHILIPPINE and Japanese officials are set to meet on Wednesday (October 28), to discuss the progress of Japan-funded infrastructure projects under the government's "Build, Build, Build" program.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Department of Finance said this meeting would happen via videoconferencing for the first time as travel restrictions remain amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
The 10th Japan-Philippines Joint Committee on Infrastructure Development and Economic Cooperation will also be the first time that the bilateral panel will convene under the new administration of Japan Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.
Chairing the Philippine side in the committee is Finance Secretary Carlos G. Dominguez III while Dr. Hiroto Izumi, the special advisor to Prime Minister Suga, is expected to lead the Japanese side.
Besides discussing the status of Japan-funded Build, Build, Build projects, this high-level panel will also provide updates from both sides on Japan's assistance to the Philippines's Covid-19 response efforts. Both sides will also tackle the impact of Covid-19 on the implementation of the Japan-supported projects and the safety of workers and other personnel involved in their construction.
For its part, the Philippines will share developments on the Mindanao peace process, the ongoing rehabilitation of Marawi City, and the new Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
On the other hand, Japan will provide updates on its ongoing assistance to Mindanao under the framework of the Japan-Bangsamoro Initiatives for Reconstruction and Development (J-BIRD) and other programs designed to help promote stability and economic growth in the new autonomous region.
Among the Japan-funded infrastructure projects that the committee is expected to discuss in the October 28 meeting are the Metro Manila Subway Project (Phase I), North-South Railway Project, Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) Rehabilitation Project, Davao City Bypass Construction Project, and the Cebu-Mactan Bridge and Coastal Road Construction Project.
Since the start of the Duterte administration, 15 loan agreements have been signed between the Philippines and Japan worth a combined JPY679.3 billion (approximately P317 billion or $6.24 billion), of which 11 involve the construction of big-ticket projects under "Build, Build, Build."
