Architectural feature
A single-story house with three gables, although only two can be seen (highlighted in yellow). This arrangement is a crossed gable roof
Gable in Finland
Decorative gable roof at 176–178 St. John's Place between Sixth and Seventh Avenue in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City.
A gable is the generally triangular portion of a wall between the edges of intersecting roof pitches. The shape of the gable and how it is detailed depends on the structural system used, which reflects climate, material availability, and aesthetic concerns. The term gable wall or gable end more commonly refers to the entire wall, including the gable and the wall below it. Some types of roof do not have a gable (for example hip roofs do not). One common type of roof with gables, the gable roof, is named after its prominent gables.
A parapet made of a series of curves (Dutch gable) or horizontal steps (crow-stepped gable) may hide the diagonal lines of the roof.
Gable ends of more recent buildings are often treated in the same way as the Classic pediment form. But unlike Classical structures, which operate through trabeation, the gable ends of many buildings are actually bearing-wall structures.
Gable style is also used in the design of fabric structures, with varying degree sloped roofs, dependent on how much snowfall is expected.
Sharp gable roofs are a characteristic of the Gothic and classical Greek styles of architecture.[1]
The opposite or inverted form of a gable roof is a V-roof or butterfly roof.
Front-gabled and side-gabled
Front-gabled buildings in Tübingen in Baden-Württemberg in Germany
Side-gabled buildings in Bautzen in Saxony, Germany
While a front-gabled or gable-fronted building faces the street with its gable, a side-gabled building faces it with its cullis (gutter), meaning the ridge is parallel to the street. The terms are used in architecture and city planning to determine a building in its urban situation.
Front-gabled buildings are considered typical for German city streets in the Gothic period, while later Renaissance buildings, influenced by Italian architecture, are often side-gabled. In America, front-gabled houses, such as the gablefront house, were popular between the early 19th century and 1920.
Wimperg
Amiens Cathedral in northern France, showing three portals with wimperg and pinnacles and a rose window.
A Wimperg, in German and Dutch, is a Gothic ornamental gable with tracery over windows or portals, which were often accompanied by pinnacles.[2] It was a typical element in Gothic architecture, especially in cathedral architecture. Wimpergs often had crockets or other decorative elements in the Gothic style. The intention behind the wimperg was the perception of increased height.

The gable end roof is a poor design for hurricane or tornado-prone regions. Winds blowing against the gable end can exert tremendous pressure, both on the gable and on the roof edges where they overhang it, causing the roof to peel off and the gable to cave in.[3][4]

Glass. How to make sharing more contextual.
Well at least that's what I think it does. When I first read about this Firefox/Chrome plugin I thought it would be something similar to Weblin, a service I blogged about in 2007. Luckily it's not the same. For one Weblin wasn't as cool and interesting as I first thought and is in de deadpool by now and Glass has a different offering so let's give that a try.
Glass is still in beta (invitation only) but I could still use the invitation code offered by The Next Web in their post about Glass so can you (code = thenextweb). If that doesn't work anymore, I have 5 invites left so give me a shout if you need one of those.
That way we can both find out if this is a keeper or not.
Ik heb me ook net geregistreerd. Lijkt me wel leuk, maar binnen mijn Gmail contacts zitten er geen gebruikers.
Ik dacht even jou te zoeken maar blijkbaar is dat geen optie. Misschien moeten we eerst wat e-mailen?
Ok, dus toch kunnen zoeken op naam.
Contacts van Twitter importeren zou wel leuk zijn.


Each week we take the buses off campus to venture around the Portland area. From breakfast to shopping to concerts and shows to museums, we do it all! Make sure to sign up for the excursions you would like to participate in and then just show up! It's fun, fabulous and full of friendship!


Purchased by St. Michael the Archangel Parish in 2009 as a "temporary" instrument until a larger, permanent organ could be commissioned, this modest 12-stop tracker organ serves admirably in our new church. The organ was built in 1971 by John Brombaugh & Associates for St. James Episcopal Church in Columbus, Ohio.
Besides being one of the first organs of a pioneer of late-20th century historically-informed organ building, it enjoys an even more remarkable pedigree in that several of the world's great organ builders that followed in Brombaugh's footsteps have a had a hand in improving the instrument over its 40-year life. Early additions were made by Taylor & Boody Organbuilders. When the organ was relocated in June 2009 by Paul Fritts & Co. from Ohio, Bruce Shull made tonal alterations (with John Brombaugh's permission) using new lead pipes from the shops of Paul Fritts and Martin Pasi. The organ was one of the first in modern times to be tuned in the historical Werkmeister III temperament, in which it remains today.


You, the reader, have a moral responsibility to verify the truth when it comes to news. Fake news is everywhere and much of it has to do with the fact that the average person can be a journalist these days. Millions of bloggers and social media users distribute biased, inaccurate and partial information. Add bipartisan news organizations to the mix and we have ourselves a flood of conflicting information inundating our lives every day.
A good journalist aims to report objective information that has been carefully verified. Readers should do the same. If you dig deep enough, you're likely to discover that the source of a story has media bias. By understanding the motive behind the story, the reader can make a better decision about sharing information. To put it another way, don't immediately accept news for its face value.
It's also worth mentioning that objectivity does not necessarily mean taking a neutral stance.
Verifying the truth is one way to combat fake news. Go over the Code of Ethics on the Society of Professional Journalists website to gain a better understanding of ethical journalism.
When I began reading this article, I was thrilled because I thought it was going to turn into an apology for the many errors that this publication has made over the last year or so. As a reminder, last academic year, The Lumberjack began making outrageous claims then censoring comments that corrected them. They then posted an absolutely shameful article on lead poisoning in Eureka that was ultimately removed from this site because the premise was completely false. They then failed to publish information on the Lawson homicide that was delivered to their office before the preliminary hearing in April. The information turned out to be true. This semester, the article titled "Frustration is not Hostility" was published along with a false timeline. A comment was made calling for a correction and was met with no response. How dare you write an article calling out the readers for not correcting your publication. Take some accountability, apologize for your errors and don't make the same mistake twice.


Julia can host up to 2 dogs per day for day care.
Julia and her boyfriend Jackson were so wonderful with my two dachshund puppies! They walked and played with Frankie and Karlsson all weekend! Their love for all animals truly shows when they take care of your pets! Their home is a perfect place for a doggy vacation!
Julia took such great care of my 5 year old pup. I met her a few weeks before she was caring for him and her place was very clean and very dog friendly. My dog mowgli was instantly at home. When I dropped him off for a weekend, my dog was so happy to see Julia and she says he was great all weekend home and he made himself at home right away. I would trust Julia with my dog anytime and would highly recommend her. Thanks again!
Julia is a wonderful pet sitter with amazing attention to detail. Julia wanted to make sure that she knew Cosmo's (my dog) routine, does he enjoy walks, playing, his feeding schedule etc. Cosmo my little guy doesn't have any teeth and has a special diet. I never worried a minute while he was in her care because she had everything under control and that was a big comfort to me. I would HIGHLY recommend Julia to my friends with pets as it is so obvious that she is a big animal lover and wants to take the best care of him. Don't even worry about stressing or planning for a trip to a kennel, just let Julia do her thing. Julia will update you as often as you'd like regarding your pets and how they are doing in her care.
I have been friends with Julia for a little over a year and in that year I have learned that she is an incredible human being. Her love for animals is an indisputable fact and she often talks about her desire to have her own dog in the near future. As someone with two dogs at home, I wouldn't hesitate an instant to entrust her with their care.
I'm an avid walker, petter, and plant and pet mom :) I'm available any time before/after school and on weekends!(I'm usually in school from 11-3:30). I care deeply about dogs and their wellbeing, live an active lifestyle and can provide adequate care for any pooch! Feel free to contact me about special needs/requests for your dog- I don't mind going above and beyond to help both of you feel comfortable☺ I have experience caring for more than one dog at once, and helping with specific dietary needs- I would love to get even more experience here and there when I can! Thanks for considering my profile, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns! P.S. I do only live in an apartment but I go outside very frequently and there are parks nearby to my location.
No breed preferences whatsoever! If they're comfortable in a smaller area until we get outside that's wonderful; overall hyperactivity could be a nice warning but I'm up for challenges too!

Wanted to Share….I achieved my Spring Semester Goal!
No Monday show, I'll make it up to you!
I wasn't able to get to recording an episode for today for many reasons that I will discuss in the next show. Look for it a little later this week. Sorry guys!


Posted on February 11th, 2013 By Scott Milnes in Circle of Love Coaching™ Program with 2 comments.
I have always found it fascinating how we as a nation will, in my opinion, interchange words into places they clearly don't belong. It's as if we come up with several words for the same definition. The only problem is- these words often don't really convey equal meaning.
For example, after a person has gone through an extensive amount of education, hands-on training, and passed a litany of exams, he or she would be given the title of pilot and be given a pilots' license.
The implication is that they have demonstrated the skill and can be trusted with an aircraft. And while most of us may not be pilots, I think we can all remember learning to drive a car, taking the exam, and the rush of freedom we felt when we first got our drivers license. Whooo-hooooo!!
So, from those two examples, we can assume that when someone receives a license, they are qualified for the job at hand. So far, so good- that makes sense.
Hmmmmmm……but what about the word permit. A licensed general contractor- seeking to build an addition to a home- would in fact contact a specific office and apply for a permit to perform such work. With permit in hand, he would then proceed with the project.
If you're licensed- you know how to do it.
If you've got a permit- a governing body is going to let you do it.
I don't know about you, but the next time I get on an airplane, I want my pilot to have a license- not just a permit!
The way I see it, a marriage license isn't a license at all- it's a permit. Unfortunately, there are more than a few couples out there that don't know anything about what it takes to have a great marriage. This is easily seen from the sky-high divorce statistics.
Truth is, they've never taken class, attended a workshop, or worked one-on-one with a coach or counselor. However, with some brief paperwork and a few bucks, they've got a marriage license.
I realize that I'm throwing around semantics here, but my goal is to really get people to stop and ask: Am I truly qualified to go through with this project?
In a perfect world (wow, I'm really stretching now), when a couple applied for a marriage license, there would be some type of mandatory marriage class or workshop series that would need to be fulfilled before a license would be issued. I know, I know- I'm dreaming again…..
Marriage is a big deal. I mean, we're talking about spending the rest of our lives with this person. And as one of my mentors shared with me a long time ago- the rest of your life could be a very long time (I can assure you, it'll definitely feel longer in a funky marriage).
Action Item: Forget about what the state thinks you need to get married (i.e. the marriage license) and get involved in anything that could fortify your relationship!
Sign up for some classes or workshops.
Read a book (or books!).
Or get enrolled in private coaching or group coaching.
The point is that we have to go above and beyond if we really want a marriage that not only survives- but thrives!!
Thanks for sharing this article. I never thought about marriage in terms of license vs. permit. Marriage is probably one of the biggest milestones in a person's life and if we took pause to improve ourselves maybe we would have less divorce and be better parents.
Thanks for your comment, Sandra. And yes, you hit the nail right on the head- we absolutely need to become more self-aware and do the work to become our best selves well before attempting a marriage. The truth is, no matter how much work we do on ourselves, we'll never be perfect. It's impossible.
However, in doing this much needed soul-work, we realize that being perfect is a complete delusion and we therefore release that fantasy. The miracle really happens when that spiritual mindset carries over and we stop expecting our spouse to be perfect.

The injury continues to heal, but there is no date for his return.Then getting rested I still think helps you.So is the wait for the big play.It should be said that Irving is averaging 24 points and 5 assists per game on 48 percent shooting in these playoffs.You start by helping with body marking, transition set-up, and course set-up.
We mostly liked the original, handsome version, but we felt it needed a little bit more fermentation to make it what it should be.To search for players who were born on a certain date, for example all players born on December 25, choose the month, day and year with the drop down boxes and then choose the 'Full Date Search' option.Yes, Beckham's quarterback situation is better with Baker Mayfield under center, but let's not pretend Eli Manning did a poor job setting Beckham up with tons of fantasy production.It would be great if the Sabres' best-case scenario came true, but there is zero reason for Botterill to press the issue, making this a long-shot at best.
The second-year gunslinger did manage to extend his multi-touchdown streak to nine games, and he's now completed over 70 percent of his passes in six of his last eight games.A silent but deadly pass-catcher for the Indianapolis Colts, Harrison spent the entirety of his 13-year NFL career as one of the most prolific receivers in NFL history.To learn more, please contact one of folks below: Race Director Chris Reese Email: Phone: Event Director Tom Gildersleeve Email: Phone: Group & Team Coordinator Lagenia Clark Email: Phone: This program has quickly become one of the hallmarks of the Houston Texans Kids Triathlon.It's hard not to ogle it, and most judges praised its attractive sheetmetal.The first person I called was my mom, Williams said.
Boyle, who signed a two-year contract with the Devils prior to the season, was a veteran leader in Authentic Huston Street Jersey the locker room and helped New Jersey to a record and its first Stanley Cup Playoff berth since 2012.Use the entire clock if you need to.Before catching up with Red Sox President Dave Dombrowski , Buster & Keith Law discuss the Hall of Fame election, what it means for the future and more .The Bucs are going to be a pass-first offense, but they have a lot of weapons beside Godwin, so I'll take the under on 100 catches.
Michael Miller had 18 points and seven rebounds for the Mean Green .The Lakers also feature a group of players that nicknames themselves The Meme Team.I maybe wouldn't bank on the plus minus again, but the rest of the stats should be bankable for this duo.North Texas made just 6 of 26-pointers.Clearly, consistency is the key to getting into the playoffs, whereas the ability to raise one's level of play is often what translates into postseason success.I Womens David West Jersey had to play better and deal with it.
To find all players born within a certain month and year, for example all players born in December of 1985, choose the month and year with the drop down boxes and then choose the 'Month and Year Search' option.We are not going to forget this year, we're not going to forget all that we have been through.Raiders DT Treyvon Hester, OT Jylan Ware and the Raiderettes paid a visit to Kennedy High School to congratulate Coach and his team.The 192 http://www.goldenstatewarriorsonlinestore.com/Official-David-West-Jersey should serve as a simple guide to help http://www.authenticlosangelesangelshops.com/Huston-Street-Jersey you maximize the value of your starting lineup while making the best possible decision every They have a lot of great players.

I first had this sandwich many years ago over a long lunch with an old friend and my mum. The sandwich completely summed up our mood – light, happy and healthy, yet still with a hint of naughtiness. You won't often catch me eating a sandwich but, when I do, you can almost bet that it will be this one!
Heat the plant-based oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the artichoke hearts and cannellini beans. Using a masher, very lightly press down to lightly smash but not mash the ingredients. Add the lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper and let the mixture heat up for 3–5 minutes.
Place 4 slices of the gluten-free bread in a sandwich press. Spread on 1 tablespoon of the cashew 'goat's' cheese (or you can serve this on the side), 1 teaspoon of the vegan mayonnaise, a quarter of the sprouts and some extra lemon zest on each slice.
Divide the bean and artichoke mixture onto each of the slices and top with the remaining bread slices. Let the sandwiches cook for 5 minutes until golden. Serve with a wedge of lemon.

One of the really puzzling phenomena, for example, has been the habitual reference to Clinton's run as "the first serious campaign for president by a woman." That is how I heard it described on a cable news program half an hour ago. Chances are, a similar formulation is being used by someone in media-land right this very second. It is hopelessly ahistorical, yet now practically inescapable.In her examination of press coverage between 1872 and 2004, Falk finds that this pattern – what she calls "the novelty frame" – has recurred time and again. The important exception, it seems, was the one time when it was literally true. While reporters were amused and/or appalled by Victoria Woodhull, they evidently never took her bid seriously enough to consider it a real campaign.
Each subsequent woman running for president, however, has been portrayed as an anomaly — someone making an experiment untried ever before. And so when Margaret Chase Smith sought the Republican nomination in 1964, a newspaper columnist wrote that she enjoyed "the distinction of having been the first woman in the country to bid for [the presidential] office." (Actually she was at least the third.) Eight years later, Shirley Chisholm became, as another reporter put it, "the first black woman to seek a major-party nomination."
In 1987, when Pat Schroeder began her campaign, commentators had to stretch a bit: "If Schroeder gets into the race," went one account, "she will be the first woman to seek a major party presidential campaign since 1972." And now, a two decades later, it seems that Hillary Clinton, too, is boldly going where only men have gone before.

I've been getting irritated about the same thing with Obama. The "first time" coverage is just as annoying, especially after Iowa when newscasters were getting all emotional over it. Yes, he's doing better than any African American candidates have before, but that doesn't mean he's the first. It's ok if you don't want to give Al Sharpton or Alan Keyes any credit, but Jesse Jackson, anyone? Anyone?

A first turn of the screw, pt. II: retelling as reliving
2014/03/14 dyssebeia	Leave a comment
The time has come to fulfill yesterday's promise of an exploration of the manner in which retelling is a form of reliving in Henry James' The Turn of the Screw. I have already explored this idea in the case of Beckett (links in yesterday's post), and perhaps one day I will be able to synthesize Beckett and James, but today I hardly remember my thoughts on Beckett, and so will stick to James.
My first realization that the second narrator, in retelling her story, is reliving it came when she wrote, "I find that I really hang back; but I must take my horrid plunge. In going on the record of what was hideous at Bly I not only challenge the most liberal faith—for which I little care; but (and this is another matter) I renew what I myself suffered, I again push my dreadful way through it to the end." (60, this volume) My realization was no great leap: she is quite explicit what is occurring. Moreover, not only does she state this idea, but she exemplifies it. The first words of her section of the story—"I remember the whole beginning as a succession of flights and drops" (11)—are echoed here in her speaking of her writing as taking a "plunge".
There is also a disparity between these two quotes. The second speaks of memory, of remembering, not of reliving. At the outset of her tale, there is more of a distance between her and her writing. It is only gradually that her writing, as it were, takes on a life of its own. I think we see this best in the steady increase in prominence of the language of submission and mastery, of the narrator's increasing tendency to insist upon being in the dominant position. (Tracking this increase helps me, at least, to understand why the story ends as it does.) This language conflicts with that of virtue: her self-presentation, from the start, is of herself as a virtuous person. She is desperate to be seen, publicly, in her virtue. Insofar as her writing is a form of remembering, this need dominates it: she remembers her own virtue so that others might remember it after her—writing gains her virtue an audience. But as the story goes on, we start to suspect that, however much she tells herself she is motivated by her (mostly self-imposed) duty to the children, her real motive lies in the need for domination. It is no accident that she refers to an instance in which Mrs. Grose provides her with information that "justifies" her as a "submission of memory" (74-5, my emphasis). The less her story becomes self-presentation, and the more it becomes reliving, the more her true motive shines through.
Considering this theme, of retelling as reliving, forces me to return to my thoughts of last night. There, in reflecting on the publicity of writing, and especially of its self-insufficient virtues, I worried a great deal about how I, as a reader, do not "believe" the governess, desperate as she is to be believed. Yet, insofar as retelling is a form of reliving, this problem vanishes, or at least splits. Now there are two stories to consider. One is the tale of the governess at Bly, struggling with apparitions of evil for the soul of a young boy and girl. The other is the story of the governess writing, a story that I do not receive secondhand, but watch unfold for myself. For the second story, there is no question of believing or not believing—do I not see it directly? And insofar as I am concerned with this story, the question of whether I may believe the first becomes subsidiary. Perhaps that story involves the "submission of memory" to the vicissitudes of the governess' psychology—but these submissions bring me no sense of having been lied to. Rather, they are honestly presented phenomena, events in the second story I watch unfold.
Insofar as retelling is a form of reliving, it may be self-sufficient—that is, it may require no audience for its completion. Once the governess has written her story, her act is done, and she may die. There is nothing that requires a reader, an audience. In yesterday's post, the reader was required because the virtues of writing were not self-sufficient. Today they are. But what, then, of the reader? What am I?

A first turn of the screw, pt. I: writing and publicity
2014/03/13 dyssebeia	1 comment
These thoughts will inevitably be partial, as I have read Henry James' The Turn of the Screw but once, and have hardly digested the closing pages, but I venture them nonetheless. For I do not pretend that a second reading will leave me with thoughts any less partial, only I know it will drive these thoughts I have now from my view. Better, then, to put them forth, that they might one day converse with my future.
I have been teaching, this semester, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. Aurelius shares with the Stoics, with whom he might justifiably be lumped, the commitment to valuing only what is within one's own control. Only one's own virtue meets this strict criterion; hence, only one's own virtue is an appropriate object of concern. Toward external events, indifference—and indifference especially toward reputation. Virtue is self-sufficient. It requires no audience. In this vein I recall also, from my Jewish upbringing, Maimonides' teaching on charity: that the greatest gift is the one given by one who does not know the recipient, and received by one who does not know the giver. To publicize virtue spells trouble: it lets society in, with its petty demands for repayment, with its imposition of the sense of being in debt.
I find much admirable in this view, as I suspect anyone must, and much right in it, but as I read The Turn of the Screw I could not help but question it. The story is told in two parts, an introductory chapter by a first unnamed narrator, and the remainder of the novella by a governess at Bly, a haunted estate. The second narrator reveals throughout her need for an audience. She has a conception of herself as heroic, as struggling to save a human soul, as fortified in the face of danger, and she needs an audience for it. Within the text, she needs the belief of Mrs. Grose—the emotional nadir of the tale comes when she fears she has lost this belief, when Mrs. Grose does not see the apparition she sees.
But more than that, it comes out in the fact that she is writing. Sometime after the fact, she puts her story to paper. Part of this speaks to her need to be believed, her need to publicize her self-attributed virtue. That is what gets her over the activation barrier to start—and to continue—writing. (She makes it clear that her retelling of the story is a form of reliving it in all its dread, an idea that I have already explored in the case of Beckett's trilogy. I have given this post the hopeful appellation "pt. I" in anticipation of exploring this further.) She writes this story in order to be read, in order for others to see what she has done. Her need for validation permeates the language throughout: how often she brings in the language of science—justification, confirmation, proof, falsification—and the language of the courtroom—judge, witness, trial, arraign! She needs objective support (science); she needs the vindication of a jury of her peers (court).
With this thought, we may compare her intensely serious self-presentation with the presentation, in the introduction, of her story as a bit of entertainment, to be judged by its gruesomeness and its dreadfulness, not its truth. It is received, not as something to be believed, but as something to be enjoyed. This reveals, almost comically, the extent to which she failed, but at the same time throws her intent in writing into sharper relief. (I will return to this disparity.)
But perhaps a greater part of it speaks to the very act of writing, which presupposes an audience, or at least the hope of one. The virtues of the writer cannot be private virtues, at least not without sacrificing the inherently public function of writing. Even in private writing such as journaling, one's future self is an audience. Thoughts are not recorded to no end. One person writes, and another reads. Another way to put this is that the virtues of the writer are not self-sufficient in the way the Stoics conceived virtue. Even when they have been manifested in the writing of a text, they remain uncompleted. The act of reading, with its virtues, is yet to be done.
Moreover, this brings with it an element of instability, of risk. The most apt self-reflection in the novella comes after little Miles has been "bad", and the governess finds that this equally puts her in a predicament. "I was confronted at last, as never yet, with all the risk attached even now to sounding my own horrid note." (p. 71, this volume) She is not here speaking of writing, but she may as well be, for in writing down her story, in sounding her "horrid note", she takes on a great risk: she cannot control how she is read. We already encountered this in the painful disparity between the way she so dearly wishes to be read and the way her story is presented in the introduction. But it comes out also, perhaps even more so, in how I read her. I do not take the story quite so crassly as the first narrator, yet neither do I take it in any way like that which the governess desires. (These very reflections are, I hope, ample proof of that.)
The Stoics were prudent in taking virtue to lie entirely within an individual's control, in excluding from the domain of virtue anything that depended on others—for they aimed at tranquility of mind, a tranquility so perfect it could not be disturbed by any external event, so long as one maintained perfect virtue. If they were right to do this, and insofar as one aims for tranquility I believe they were, we must conclude that writing cannot aim at tranquility. One gets the sense, in reading Aurelius' Meditations, that Aurelius perceived a vast gulf between individuals. Virtue, though it aims at the good of the whole, of which each individual is a part, is nonetheless a purely individual affair. Not so with writing, whose virtues submit themselves to the mercy of their readers. Writing takes a risk: it trusts its completion to people it has no basis for trusting. The virtue of our governess is out of her hands.

Practical solipsism
Is there, perhaps, some truth in solipsism? Beyond our basic ability to empathize with sensations (pleasure, pain, etc.) and basic emotions (happiness in the vulgar sense, annoyance, fear, etc.), do we not lack the ability others as persons, as possessing an open-ended self to which they might be honest? Must we not see them as Cartesian feeling automatons?
The unnamed narrator of Henry James' The Sacred Fount experiences only a ring centered about himself, into and out of which other people, or at least bodies, move. Interaction within this ring is ineluctably hierarchical. Conversation, if it can be so called, is a sadistic power game: the narrator directs his captive in performing the socially acceptable number of somersaults before he lets her ago, or he attempts to keep a man within this ring as long as possible, while the man struggles to—and eventually does—escape.
This is solipsism, a practical solipsism that must be confronted head-on and not theorized away in some dark alley of thought. James' narrator can no doubt empathize to the extent required for competence in basic etiquette—he does, after all, quite explicitly let his captive go—empathize in the sense described above—but there is no sense of others as they exist for themselves and not for him.
Such a solipsism must be overcome before any conversation is possible.

Inference to the best
The posts on this blog are not carefully constructed essays, not official papers; rather, they are my attempts to marshall the thoughts I have in reaction to the various works of art (and philosophy) I encounter. Everything is partial, and I commit myself to the opinions expressed only tentatively and temporarily, as giving me a starting place to work with, which hopefully I may develop into something better as I continue to live and reconcile my existence with the thought and visions of some of history's greatest individuals. They are clay, to be molded and improved. I put them in public for two reasons. First, it motivates me to write them in the first place, and writing them motivates me to think about the issues more carefully. Most of these posts originate in small, inchoate ideas which get modified in the writing process. My arguments are not constructed beforehand; they emerge as the act of writing brings contradictions and overstatements forcefully to my attention. Second, I always hold out the hope that these posts will initiate a discussion with another enquiring mind—confrontation with other perspectives is the most effective method of "testing" my positions.
If there is one piece of philosophy I take as gospel in everything I write here, it is Nelson Goodman's exquisite essay, "Merit as Means", in whose all of two pages he defends the thesis that value judgments about a work of art are of only secondary importance. What is of primary importance are the features of the work itself, and how they interact to create meanings. A value judgment, ideally utilized, basically amounts to saying, "look closer!" (or, less happily, "don't look closer!"). I hope here to discuss the features of works of art, and how they interact to create meaning. I am not interested in defending value judgments, and as such I don't plan on including reviews, lists, etc. One last note of business: my calling Goodman's essay "exquisite" above is my way of saying, "go take a look!"

Three Half-Baked Predictions: Detroit Tigers
With Opening Day less than a week away, I felt that some kind of general AL Central preview was in store on this blog. Thus, I wanted to do short preview posts of the different outlooks for the teams in the AL Central (with culminating one being the Royals shortly before Opening Day). Because of time constraints (yay grad school!), I am going to simply keep these posts pretty brief, and thus, limit them to "three half-baked" predictions in regard to each team. (Of course, I say short, and then "short" becomes 1,700 to 2,000 words).
So in this first post, I am going to take a look at the Detroit Tigers, who finished in last place in the AL Central in 2020 with a record of 23-35. Here are my predictions in regard to the "Motor City Kitties" and what their outlook is as a club for 2021.
The Tigers will probably finish in last place again for a third-straight season
The Tigers are probably a better club on paper than they were a year ago. They got a pretty good performance from rookie infielder Willi Castro last year, and he's off to a good start this Spring, as he is hitting .318 with a .975 OPS that includes three home runs in 18 games and 47 plate appearances. I imagine the Tigers have been looking for someone to bump Niko Goodrum out of the starting lineup for quite some time, and it looks like the Tigers have their guy in Castro, who could be a key player for them, especially in the transition to a 162-game season.
Furthermore, the Tigers lineup is boosted by the return of second baseman Jonathan Schoop, who had a pretty strong year at the keystone in 2020, and third baseman Jeimer Candelario, who finally lived up to his once hyped prospect status last year. Lasstly, the Tigers have an interesting outfield composition with Robbie Grossman in left, Jacoby Jones in center field (Jones was a Royals-killer early in the year), and Nomar Mazara in right field (whom I wrote about at Pitcher List). All three could be really solid players, but they also could be busts as well, which is why they find themselves in Detroit on reasonable deals financially, and not on more competitive clubs in 2021.
In addition to upgrading their lineup slightly, general manager Al Avila also boosted the rotation with some "veteran-ish" arms in Jose Urena and Julio Teheran, both former top prospects with other clubs. The Tigers do have a bevy of talented arms in their system, as MLB Pipeline ranked the Tigers with the 2nd best farm system in baseball, primarily due to their high upside arms in Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, Riley Greene, and Matt Manning. However, it feels like the arms in their system are a year away from seriously contributing at the MLB level, despite Mize and Skubal debuting a year ago. Thus, will Urena and Teheran hold the fort for the Tigers in 2021 until their talented pitching prospects make their way to D-Town? Maybe, but I feel like they have more "Ivan Nova" upside, i.e. they are decent starters, but probably barely above replacement level at the end of the day.
An influx of veteran talent in the field and in the rotation, as well as a new managerial change with AJ Hinch, should make this Tigers club better than a year ago. However, the Tigers still feel a year away from making any serious gains in the Central, and didn't do more than other clubs as well in terms of getting better. Hence, it is hard to see the Tigers escaping the basement for a fourth-straight season, though they should be more fun to watch, and should give Tigers fans hope that better days are on their way soon.
2021 will be a rough year for Casey Mize
Mize is the consensus No. 2 prospect in the Tigers system behind Spencer Torkelson, who was No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft. Mize, the No. 1 overall pick in 2018 out of Auburn, made his highly anticipated MLB debut in 2020 during the COVID-affected season. However, he failed to impress in his rookie campaign, as he posted a 6.99 ERA and -0.3 bWAR in 7 starts and 28 innings, according to Baseball Reference.
This Spring, though he is coming off a good outing on Thursday, his Grapefruit League numbers have been pretty lackluster. In five appearances and four starts, Mize has posted an 8.36 ERA and has allowed 17 hits and 13 runs in 14 innings of work. While he has struck out 21 batters, demonstrating his strong ability to make batters swing and miss, he also has walked 10 batters, which has produced a BB/9 of 6.4 this Spring. Mize had a BB/9 of 4.1 last year, so the fact that it has increased this Spring is not an encouraging sign, though Spring Training numbers always have to be taken with a grain of salt.
There is no question that Mize has the profile of an elite pitching prospect, and has the tools and skill set to be at the top of the rotation in Detroit at some point in time. However, I think his struggles this past Summer and Spring should be noted, and the fact that this rotation is pretty crowded may not be a good sign for him to break in early this season. While Mize did earn a spot in the rotation to begin the season, it would not be surprising to see Mize yo-yo between Triple-A Toledo and Detroit this year, especially with so many options available to the Tigers (Teheran also made the Opening Day roster, but things will get interesting once Spencer Turnbull returns off the IL).
As of now, it would not be surprising to see the Tigers rotation get production from Mize or Skubal, but not both, during the first couple of months of the season. Unfortunately for Mize, Skubal has looked much better this Spring (12 innings, 15 strikeouts, 1.50 ERA, though he does have 8 walks).
Thus, while Mize has promise and still could turn into the pitcher he was drafted to be nearly three season ago, I think 2021 will be another growing season for the right-handed pitcher.
Miguel Cabrera will regress a bit after a promising 2020
After a -0.4 WAR season where he posted a wRC+ of 96 in 2019, Cabrera saw a little bit of a bounce back at the plate in 2020 during the shortened season. The 37-year-old Detroit franchise player posted a fWAR of 0.3 and a wRC+ of 102, according to Fangraphs. Furthermore, Cabrera also led the Tigers with 10 home runs, and also saw his ISO increase to .167, his highest mark in this category since 2016 (when it was .247). Thus, there may be a handful of Tigers fans who are hoping that this could be a sign of a second renaissance for Cabrera, who has been on the decline since signing his eight-year, $248 million deal in 2016. While Cabrera won't offer anything in the field, Tigers fans are banking that Cabrera can at least be closer to the power hitter that he was during his prime, even if it may come at the expense of other metrics such as batting average.
Unfortunately, I am not sure if Cabrera will be able to build on his promising 2020, as many of his plate discipline metrics paint a more concerning picture for Tigers fans. His contact rate in 2020 was 70.4 percent, and his swinging strike rate was 14 percent. Comparatively, in those categories, that was nearly an eight percent drop in contact rate, and nearly a four percent increase in swinging strike rate, according to Fangraphs data. Furthermore, while he saw less contact at the plate, there wasn't a substantial increase in regard to crucial batted ball and Statcast metrics. His barrel rate did increase from 5.4 percent in 2019 to 9.7 in 2020, but his GB/FB rate was only 1.33, which demonstrates that Cabrera still hits way too many ground balls for a cleanup hitter (which Roster Resource is projecting him to be). While he did see his exit velocity in batted balls go from 90.3 MPH in 2019 to 93.2 MPH in 2020, it will be interesting to see if that exit velocity regresses back to those 2019 numbers, especially over the course of a full 162-game season.
To see Cabrera show flashes of the pre-2016 self was nice to see, especially since he was one of the best hitters in the American League for so long (and he always happened to be a thorn in the side for Royals pitchers and fans at the plate). However, Baseball Prospectus is projecting Cabrera to post a 99 DRC+ and 0.7 WARP for 2021, and honestly, that seems about right, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him slightly below that, perhaps in the 96-98 DRC+ range. He hasn't seemed to age as gracefully as fellow AL Central DH Nelson Cruz, and I am not sure if he'll be able to carry the Tigers as their main run producer in the cleanup spot in 2021.
And if he doesn't produce similarly in 2021 like he did in 2020, that could spell doom for the Tigers' chances of escaping the AL Central cellar this season.
In addition, a Cabrera regression in 2021 could also make the next two guaranteed years of Cabrera's contract (which totals $64 million, according to Roster Resource) even more painful for Tigers fans as well.

            scanf("%d",&n);
        }
        if (n == 0) break;

        MPI_Bcast(&n, 1, MPI_INT, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD);

If you enter '0' on rank 0, then rank 0 breaks, but all the other ranks have whatever they had in n last time around (or, in the case of the first iteration, whatever random stuff was in that memory location).  So ranks 1-(N-1) enter the MPI_Bcast, patiently waiting to participate in a broadcast to find out what n is, and meanwhile rank 0 has exited the loop and is sitting at MPI_Finalize wondering where everyone else is.
You just need to flip those lines:
        MPI_Bcast(&n, 1, MPI_INT, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
        if (n == 0) break;

Now everyone decides whether or not to break out of the loop at the same time.

A: you have a endless while loop, so MPI_Finalize() can't execute.

Autonomous Vehicles: Disrupting Transportation Obstacles for Americans with Disabilities?
Oct. 2, 2018 by Samuel Lillard
For those who live in large cities, the transformation of the automotive industry to a new era of autonomous vehicles and computer-aided transportation has already begun. By performing a quick search on YouTube, you can watch video of the first riders on driverless buses in Las Vegas and Detroit. In Columbus, Ohio, a low-speed driverless shuttle will soon begin operating on a specific downtown route.
And these cities are not alone. They join a growing number of municipalities with driverless buses: Lausanne, Switzerland; Trikala, Greece; Zhengzhou, China; Wageningen, Netherlands; Lyon, France; and Milton Keynes, UK, just to name a few. This new technology is being met with praise and excitement on one end, and, as we have seen in Columbus, bus driver union protests on the other.
Automated vehicle and other emerging transportation technology is popping up with surprising speed and often without advance regulation. The goal for businesses that pioneer new advances in transportation is often to fill an undiscovered niche for financial gain, whereas others are striving to transform the entire transportation infrastructure.
For example, one interesting effort that is expanding and worth watching is the Whim app. Whim is a mobility service currently based in Helsinki, Finland, that allows commuters to use all available transportation options, including rental cars, to travel around and within the city for one online monthly plan. Whim's plan is to supplant individual car ownership itself and proclaims this boldly on its website:
At Whim, we believe owning a car doesn't make much sense anymore for most people. Whim is a more affordable alternative for car ownership without all the hassles. Every journey is covered – whether it's taxi, public transport, a car service or a bike share. Simply pay as you go or travel even smarter with a monthly plan.
Disruption is in the air, and it is easy to imagine that self-driving vehicles will help Whim's vision. Some of the other emerging technologies have or are likely to create transportation monsters. If you have them in your city, electric scooters may come to mind. For others, this technology may prove to be a godsend.
One community that is certainly hoping to be transformed by changes in technology are those with disabilities. On November 2, 2015, the National Council on Disability issued a 50-page report regarding its recommendations to ensure that people with disabilities will have full access to self-driving cars of the future. For people with disabilities and our expanding senior population, self-driving cars are seen as creating a potential great leap forward in providing independence, inclusion, and greater economic opportunities, because inaccessible transportation has been one of the biggest barriers to employment and community involvement. During the last census, it was reported that nearly one in five people in the U.S. has a disability, about 56.7 million people. In 2016, the U.S. reached a milestone of having, for the first time, a population of over 50 million people aged 65 and older.
Further, for epileptics, those with vision impairments, and others who cannot obtain a driver's license, self-driving cars will likely open new opportunities for employment. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), certain employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to workers with disabilities in order to allow the employee to perform the essential functions of the job. For many positions, the ability to drive and possess a driver's license has been an essential function.
With the advent of self-driving vehicles, the ability to drive may no longer be essential, thus requiring new workplace modifications by rewriting job descriptions. Further, it is anticipated future employers may be asked to allow the use of, or even provide self-driving vehicles as a form of workplace accommodation, limited by reasonableness and undue costs. Although this may be a future burden to employers and spawn litigation in the future, it may also assist employers who are currently struggling to fill entry- level positions by giving them access to an expanding workforce.
Moving a little farther in the future, it is not hard to imagine that this technology may decentralize the workplace altogether. For example, if you run a business that requires light assembly jobs, one can imagine outfitting buses to serve as mobile workspaces with all the inventory and equipment on board. The employer could then send the self-driving vehicle to its employees, who enter the mobile workspace, complete the work, and leave. The self-driving vehicle then returns to the employer with completed work. Although this may appear farfetched, one thing is clear: the technology is here and it is rolling down the street.
The bottom line is that employers need to begin thinking about these issues because their employees are thinking about them. In the near term, employees unable to drive may turn to AVs as ADA accommodations. As AVs and alternative means of mobility drive the cost of transportation down, the question of whether such an accommodation presents an undue burden is sure to be litigated. Careful forethought and analysis is worthwhile.
