Liuwa Plain National Park
Liuwa Plain National Park, located in western Zambia, has a fascinating conservation history. It's one of the few parks in the world where communities and wildlife co-exist inside a national park. The communities are custodians of the national park, protecting and respecting the rich flora and fauna of the remote 3,660 square kilometres of revered park.
The flat topography of the vast floodplains is bound by two mighty rivers, that flood seasonally. The occasional interruption of tree-clad islands and pans of water provide a welcome break from the endless flat plains that disappear into the horizon.
The impressive wildebeest population migrating annually from Angola provides a wonderful wildlife spectacle for avid safari-goers, and is the main reason for visiting the park. The grasslands are favoured by the cheetah, wild dog, and lion, all of which thrive in the park's ecosystem. Hyena clans are in abundance and are often spotted in hot-pursuit of the latest predator action.
The closest town to Liuwa National Park is Kalabo, which is the gateway town. Visitors tend to fly into Kenneth Kaunda International Airport and board a small charter flight to Kalabo. From here there are road transfers to accommodation within the park. Self-drivers should be aware that there's a ferry water-crossing to get into the park.
Q Are there any cultural activities on offer?
The Kuomboka ceremony is held every year in April when the famed Litunga, the king of Barotseland, is moved from his low water palace at Lealui to the higher ground of Limilunga on a massive barge.
Q Do many people travel to the park?
Liuwa Plain is one of Zambia's most remote national parks, so safari-goers to this part of the world may sometime feel like they have the whole of the park to themselves.
Liuwa's greatest appeal is its abundant wildebeest herds that arrive with the rains in November. There are more than 30,000 individuals. Each year, the herds migrate from Angola, ensuring that Liuwa retains its title of being the second largest wildebeest migration in Africa. Red lechwe, oribi, zebra, tsessebe and roan are just a few of the ungulates to spot while on safari in Liuwa.
The hyena clans appear to be thriving in Liuwa National Park (numbering 350) and are the most commonly spotted predator. Cheetah populations are on the rise, and so are the prides of lion. African wild dogs, serval, jackal and wild cats are also well-represented within the park.
Avifauna is prolific. Notable species include white-bellied bustards, Hottentot teals, martial eagle, pink throated longclaw, secretary bird, crowned and wattled cranes, and various species of kingfisher. In total, there are over 330 species of bird.
May to December is the best time to visit the park. November/December tends to be quite hot, but it's also the best time of year to witness the wildebeest migration. In November, the intermittent rains begin, replenishing the lands.
January to April is the heavy rain season, and many of the roads are unnavigable. During the rainy season, the landscape turns into a shimmering shade of green and the pans fill up. Wildlife is more dispersed, making it trickier to spot big game.
This isolated national park is often compared to the Serengeti because of its abundant game and similar landscapes. Safaris are centred around game viewing, in particular game drives. The ultimate way to cover vast terrain is on a game drive led by an expert guide with local knowledge.
Day game drives can be booked with on-the-ground operators, and visitors staying inside the park can enjoy game drives courtesy of their chosen accommodation. Game drives are the most exciting way to take in the exquisite beauty of the remote landscape.
4x4'ing through the park is a popular activity for adventure seekers. Self-drivers are given a map with a network of roads guiding drivers to various wildlife traffic areas. Plenty of 4x4 experience is required for this thrilling activity.
Unique excursions such as traditional boating and fishing trips can be arranged through the local community. The best way to explore the national park is with a local guide.
There are a few seasonal camps located inside the park, perfectly situated along the wildebeest migration route. These camps tend to be mid-range and built using either Meru-style or dome shape tents. Communal dining areas, boma campfires and alfresco sundowner spots are the order of the day at these types of camps.
There are plenty of community-owned and managed campsites that hold great appeal for 4x4'ers. These campsites are well-maintained and provide all the necessary facilities for a comfortable camping experience.
There is one premier lodge located inside the park, which is considered five stars. The lodge offers a helicopter transfer from the gateway town to the grounds of the lodge. Premier lodges offer high tea, gourmet dining and all the frills expected from luxury lodgings.

Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive bacterium responsible for the foodborne disease listeriosis. This bacterium thrives in diverse habitats from soils to food products, where it adapts to inhospitable temperatures, pH, and salt concentrations. Once ingested by humans and many animal species, L. monocytogenes uses sophisticated strategies to infect and proliferate within a wide diversity of host cells. Clinical manifestations of listeriosis range from mild gastroenteritis in healthy adults to life-threatening septicemia, meningitis, and encephalitis in elderly and immunocompromised individuals. In pregnant women, this bacterium can cross the placental barrier causing miscarriage, stillbirth, and severe infections of the newborn. L. monocytogenes is recognized as an important public health problem due to the very high rate of mortality (25%) and the frequency of listeriosis outbreaks.
L. monocytogenes has long been used as a model pathogen in infectious disease research. These studies have led to important discoveries and paradigm shifts in immunology and cellular microbiology. In particular, the development of the mouse model of L. monocytogenes infection has made a critical contribution to the discovery of cell-mediated immune response against intracellular bacteria. Analysis of the L. monocytogenes intracellular lifecycle in cultured cells has revealed fundamental mechanisms that orchestrate bacterial internalization into host cells, exit from the endocytic vesicle, intracellular proliferation, and motility leading to bacterial spread from cell to cell. Not only has L. monocytogenes enhanced our understanding of bacterial biology, but also it has been instrumental in studying eukaryotic cell biology. This is well illustrated by advances made in the identification and elucidation of the mechanisms of action of noncoding RNAs in bacterial and eukaryotic cells during infection, as well as in understanding the mechanisms that control cytoskeletal assemblies in eukaryotic cells. One of the most important challenges now is to elucidate molecular mechanisms that control the L. monocytogenes interaction with the gut microbiota and the pathogen-host cell interplay in vivo during pathogenesis. In this line of investigation, the use of animal models of L. monocytogenes infection confirmed some molecular pathways that were initially discovered in cell culture models, and also led to the discovery of unexpected routes used by the pathogen to infect its host. Finally, the advent of "omic" technologies is providing comprehensive information on the regulation of the host-pathogen interplay during pathogenesis. Given the fascinating biology of L. monocytogenes and its intricate interplay with its hosts, there is no doubt that studies on this pathogen will generate many more discoveries.
This research topic aims to broadly address the biology and pathogenesis of Listeria monocytogenes. Original research manuscripts, methods, opinions, reviews, and mini reviews will be received until September 2013.

Kevin Hart Just Publicly Asked Beyoncé, Jay-Z and More to Send Money to Houston
Andrew Flanagan
Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images
Harvey is the strongest hurricane to hit Texas in decades, killing at least two, flooding thousands of homes and causing damage reminiscent to that of Katrina 12 years ago, with FEMA administrator Brock Long telling CNN the agency is "gearing up for the next couple years." With the National Weather Service calling the situation unprecedented and "beyond anything experienced," the U.S. Coast Guard conducting urban search and rescue in Houston and more rain still to come, people are volunteering to help in rescue operations and pitching in wherever possible.
Comedian Kevin Hart asked his famous friends with ample financial means to join a donation daisy chain he began Sunday evening. "I think we've participated in a lot of challenges on the Internet, some meaningful some meaningless," Hart said in an Instagram video. Hart urged eight famous friends — The Rock, Steve Harvey, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Jerry Seinfeld — to donate $25,000 each and to call on others to pitch in as well, in order to supply much-needed resources (boats, dry shelters, hygiene kits and food, among many other supplies needed) to those on the ground.
Beyoncé, a Houston native, shared a message of sympathy on Instagram late Sunday evening for those affected. Many others have expressed emotional support for residents of affected areas as well, including Drake, Kelly Rowland (also a Houston native), Sean Combs, Common, Meek Mill and others.
Amazon announced it would match donations made through its website up to $1 million. Apple is also accepting donations through its iTunes Store, halting the 30 percent commission the company usually takes from sales on the platform.
Country musician Chris Young began a GoFundMe campaign for Harvey relief efforts with a $100,000 donation of his own, which has since drawn more than $43,000 more from 595 additional donations. Lady Antebellum also announced it would be donating merch profits to relief efforts.
"I have friends and family there and I'm almost certain my house down there may have to be torn down as it was in one of the areas that was hardest hit by winds and flooding," wrote Young.

life crippled in Downtown,Shut down observed
A complete shutdown is being observed in the downtown area of the Srinagar city on Saturday the "forcest highhandedness," after congregational Friday Prayers.
The shutdown call had been given by the Jamia Traders Federation against "desecrating" of historic Jamia.
All the shops, business establishments and other offices are closed in Nowhatta, Gojwara, Bohrikadal, Rajourikadal and Khwaja Bazar areas of Srinagar.
Reports said that around 2500 shopkeepers and locals have assembled in Jamia Masjid Nowhatta and are protesting against the high handedness of Police.
Reports quoted traders saying "they won't open their shops unless police won't stop the harassment".
Soon after the Hurriyat (M) Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq addressed the congregation inside the Jamia Masjid, nearly a dozen youth took out a protest rally. The large contingents of police and paramilitary CRPF, deployed outside the mosques' gates, responded by firing tear smoke canisters and pellets. Chased, the protestors took refuge inside the compound of the mosque.
The clashes intensified, resulting in injuries to several among the protesters and shopkeepers, many of them hit by pellets in their faces, chests, and eyes.
Several women were left unconscious after the forces fired PAVA shells inside the mosque, pellets even hit the wooden pillars of the historic Mosque.
As per the traders, scores of the tear-smoke shells and pellets landed inside the mosque and injured the people offering prayers.
The Hurriyat (M) says that the historic Jamia Masjid will be closed for further prayers until the blood spilled on its floors is cleaned.
"The mosque has been closed for further prayers, as there is blood spilled all over the floor. The same blood which has oozed from the wounds of those youth who were hit by pellets," the Hurriyat (M) spokesman said.
He said that blood of the injured is spread all over the mosque and needs to be cleaned first, adding that boys were only protesting when police started firing pellets and tear gas canisters at them.
Reacting strongly to the action of the police inside the Jamia Masjid, Hurriyat (M) Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq condemned the deployment of police in and around Jamia Masjid.
"Heavy deployment of Govt forces around JamaMasjid even in this holy month leading to tension & agitation. Dozens of civilians injured after forces resorted to pellet &teargas shelling! Large numbers of people unable to come out of the mosque. Condemn the deployment and forces action," Mirwaiz wrote in a tweet.

"Footloose"
The Company Theatre's Teen Conservatory of their Academy's first show of 2010 is "Footloose", a musical based on the 1984 movie. This show tells the story of Ren,a fun-loving boy from Chicago, who finds himself having to move to Bomont, Oklahoma, a small, conservative, town with his mother. Dancing and rock'n roll are banned in this town until this teenager opens their eyes with his zest for life. Breaking every taboo, Ren brings dance to the heart of a town held back by the memory of a tragedy. Although most dance musicals have almost no plot, this one has a serious side to it which helps to give it a wonderful blend of upbeat numbers and meaningful ballads."Footloose is a show with a lot of heart, boasting many Oscar nominated songs in its score and with insightful direction by Zoe Bradford and Jordie Saucerman who also creates the gorgeous sets, brilliant musical direction by Michael Joseph and his six piece orchestra and fabulous choreography by Sally Ashton Forrest, this talented young exuberant 30 member cast with five adult cast members sell this show to a very appreciative audience.
. Zoe works her magic with this script by infusing it with the needed depth to give the characters more than one dimension. Jordie's beautiful sets consist of easily moved set pieces and slide projection backdrops. Michael conducts his 6 piece orchestra, plays one of the keyboards and makes these young people excel whether in the group numbers or the emotionally charged ballads. Sally works wonders with this enormous cast with the group numbers which include the title number that opens and closes this show, "Let's Hear It For the Boy" where Ren teaches Willard how to dance, "Holding Out for a Hero", and "Dancing Is Not a Crime" the rap song where the kids try to convince the town council to overturn their ban on dancing, the boys dance in "Mama Says".
Leading this cast is Darren Bunch as Ren McCormack and Kayleigh Brennan as Ariel Moore. Darren opens the show with a rousing rendition of "Footloose". His dancing is astounding as he moves around the stage like a whirling dervish not only in this song but in all of his numbers. explains why dancing is important to Ren in his "I Can't Sit Still" song and convinces his classmates to bring life back to Bomont in "Heaven Help the Man" song which closes the first act with an excellent group dance. Darren shows off his most dramatic moment in his final confrontation scene with the minister while his funniest moment comes while he is roller skating and bumps into Willard. Kayleigh is a gorgeous raven haired gal who gives this girl a backbone whether she is standing up to her parents or her thug boyfriend. She displays a fantastic singing voice when she belts out "Holding Out for a Hero" with Rusty, Wendy and Urleen who hold ice-cream cone microphones in their hands and with Darren in the duet "Almost Paradise". Kayleigh shows off her wonderful dancing talents in this show, too. and make you want to cheer when they finally get together after all their trials and tribulations.
Steve Shannon plays the pivotal role of Reverend Shaw Moore who convinced the town to ban dancing after his son was killed in a tragic car accident years ago. He shows this man's devastation of losing his son and shows off his powerful singing voice in "On Any Sunday and "Heaven Help Me". He shows the realization of having to let go of the past to bring his family close together again by living life to the fullest. Steve is fantastic in this role where he shows off his dramatic side, having played comic roles in "The Music Man" and "Arsenic and Old Lace", The two sympathetic mothers in this show, Vi Moore and Ethel McCormack are played by Emily Arsenault and Karen Cavallo. Emily's voice soars in her song, "Can't You Find It in Your Heart" a tear jerker song where she wants to be loved as she was years ago.Karen's acting as the long suffering mother of this teenage boy is wonderful. She makes a strong impression as this underused character in the show and shines while doing so. Some of the other adult roles include Ryan Barrow as the constantly yelling coach while James Valentin is the strict by the rules principal. He is a hoot in this role stealing many a scene.
The biggest scene stealer in the show is Nathan Pacheco, an eighth grader who plays country bumpkin, Willard Hewitt who is always itching for a fight. His southern drawl and comic line delivery are fantastic. Willard can barely string a sentence together around girls and is also embarrassed because he never learned how to dance. But when Nathan does dance he does a superb job. His comic song which is a hoot, is called "Mama Says" which is about the dumb things his mother told him to do including never bring a toaster into a bathtub. When Willard finally confesses his love to Rusty, she picks him up and carries him offstage. Rusty, his girlfriend is played by pretty brunette, Madison Rockwell who has a powerful voice which she uses in her solo number, "Let's Hear It for the Boy" and in the trio number called "Somebody's Eyes'' where she warns Ren to be careful because there is always someone in town keeping track of his activities. Her two sidekicks Urleen and Wendy Jo are wonderfully played by Allison Abate and Rebecca Dickinson who get many laughs with their antics. The show's bad boy, Chuck Cranston is played by Matt McCarty who plays this thug-like character very convincingly. He shows off his dancing and singing with the boys in "This Girl Gets Around". Another topnotch vocalist in this show is pretty blonde Caitlin Ford who has a gorgeous soprano voice which she uses in the scat song "Let's Make Believe We're in Love" with a wonderful quartet backing her up. Kudos to the cast and crew who make this a show to be very proud of. So for rip-roaring return to 1984, be sure to catch "Footloose" at Company Theatre performed by their Teen Conservatory, who show off their talents in this show.

Doctor Who Survived Ebola Describes Disease's Aftermath on the Body
Researchers isolated this Ebola virus from patient blood samples collected in Mali.
(Image: © NIAID)
SAN DIEGO — Ebola survivor Dr. Ian Crozier says he continues to experience long-term effects of the disease, including hearing loss and seizures.
In a speech Wednesday (Oct. 7), Crozier provided his unique perspective on the devastating illness, from the point of view of a doctor who treated patients in West Africa who also became a patient himself. He described his struggle with not only the viral illness but also the numerous health complications that have appeared in the months since he was declared Ebola-free.
"It ain't over, even when it's over," Crozier said here at IDWeek 2015, a meeting of several organizations focused on fighting infectious diseases. [10 Deadly Diseases That Hopped Across Species]
Crozier also discussed unanswered questions about post-Ebola complications, and the need to develop ways to diagnose and treat these problems.
Crozier, who was born in Zimbabwe and later became a U.S. citizen, volunteered to treat Ebola patients in Sierra Leone in August 2014. But in early September, he developed a fever and headache, and tested positive for Ebola. Crozier was soon evacuated to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, where he spent six weeks fighting for his life. His organs were failing, and he required a ventilator to breathe and kidney dialysis, according to Emory University.
After more than 40 days of treatment, Crozier's condition improved, and he was released from the hospital after doctors no longer detected Ebola in his blood.
But soon, he developed other symptoms, including severe back pain, hearing loss and tinnitus (a constant ringing in the ears).
Crozier also experienced cognitive symptoms, including problems with his short-term memory, he said. Two months ago, he had a seizure while attending a wedding in England, and started taking an anti-epileptic drug.
"I added this to a long list [of symptoms] in my survivor's portfolio," Crozier said.
One of his most notable complications was serious eye problems — his vision was blurry, he saw halos around objects, and felt pain and increased pressure in his left eye. At one point, his eye even changed color, from blue to green.
Doctors found Ebola virus in the aqueous humor — the fluid between the eye's outer covering and the lens. Even 100 days after he was released from the hospital, "the virus was teeming in the anterior chamber of my eyes," Crozier said.
Today, his vision has improved, although it's not back to where it was before his illness, Crozier said. (Although the virus was found in a part of his eye, Crozier, along with other Ebola survivors, would not be able to spread the virus to other people through casual contact.)
Questions remain, including how Ebola is able to "hide" in certain parts of the body, including the eye, without being detected by the immune system. "How does a pathogen hijack that space?" he said.
Crozier has since returned to West Africa, where there have been reports of survivors experiencing a range of eye problems. "There's an immediate need" to develop ways to diagnose and treat people who have eye problems after Ebola, he said.
An upcoming study called PREVAIL III aims to look at the health consequences of Ebola, including the burden of eye disease in survivors. "I hope you're thinking about West African eyes," Crozier told the audience.
After the conclusion of his speech, Crozier received a standing ovation.

Gen-Fed Program for 2018 Released
Posted on January 20, 2018 by mruffner@gmail.com
David S. Ferriero, Archivist of the United States, gives welcoming remarks to begin week-long Gen-Fed at the National Archives in Washington, DC, on July 10, 2017.
The Genealogical Institute on Federal Records has announced its 2018 list of lecturers and topics for the week-long course to be held at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and College Park, Maryland, from July 16–20, 2018. Among those presenting are NARA staff members (current and retired), and expert genealogists, researchers, and historians from a variety of backgrounds. The Innovation Hub at NARA-DC, on Pennsylvania Avenue, located within the Robert M. Warner Research Center on the first floor, offers proximity to archivists and records and serves as the institute's home base.
Records from all three branches of governments will be studied during the institute—legislative, executive, and judicial. The program's opening day immerses attendees in multiple strategies for on-site and remote research with lectures focused on solving genealogical problems scheduled later in the week. Informal access to reference archivists, a hallmark of the institute, has been expanded.
Although NARA is now closed on Saturdays, longer hours on Monday through Friday result in more time for research during the week. An orientation to genealogical research at the Library of Congress on Monday evening prepares attendees to take advantage of LC evening hours throughout the week. On Saturday, July 21, participants may attend an orientation at the Daughters of the America Revolution (DAR) Library and spend a full day exploring one of the top genealogical libraries in the country.
Online registration for the 2018 Genealogical Institute on Federal Records will open on Saturday, February 24, at 1:00 PM EST. Details on registration will be released on Thursday, February 15th. For more information on the institute and its history, visit www.gen-fed.org.

The North Carolina Genealogy Society Proudly Presents… "Black and White Southern Families in Antebellum Plantation Records" featuring Ari Wilkins
North Carolina Genealogical Society
The North Carolina Genealogical Society is delighted to present:
Ari Wilkins"Black and White Southern Families in Antebellum Plantation Records"
A LIVE webinar on 7 March 2018, 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm EST
This live webinar is available to NCGS members only. You must be logged in to access registration.The handout for this presentation will be posted on the NCGS website at least one week prior to the webinar.

The box at the top right of that page has a link to "Member Webinar Handouts", which is arranged in alphabetical order.
About the Webinar:
The Southern Antebellum Plantation Records are an invaluable resource to Southern and African American researchers. This extensive collection encompasses business and personal papers from numerous slaveholding families of the South. For white Southern families, the collection can uncover decades of genealogical history along with details such as the dynamics of personal relationships, communication, and the entanglements of associated families. For African American research, these records can potentially list enslaved persons by name and include other significant information such as family relationships, dates of birth and death, and bills of sale.
This presentation will demonstrate the breadth of the collection, how to navigate and apply the records to personal research.
Ari Wilkins, a graduate of Louisiana State University, has been actively researching family history since 1998. Ari worked with the esteemed genealogist, Dr. James Rose, for many years on his final project Generations: The WPA Ex-Slave Narrative Database. She is the owner of the genealogical consulting company, Black Genesis. Ms. Wilkins also works as a contributor for Proquest's African American Heritage database.
Ms. Wilkins has spoken nationally at the National Genealogical Society, Federation of Genealogical Societies, Texas State Genealogical Society, Ohio Genealogical Society, Samford Institute of Genealogical and Historical Research, American Library Association, and a multitude of local societies.
Ari has been a Library Associate at Dallas Public Library since 2007. She teaches a series of basic research classes using popular genealogical websites. She specializes in African American research.

Manumission Records of Slaves in Jamaica
February 12, 2018 By africanamericanancestrydna in Blog Post Tags: African American Genealogy Research, African-American Genealogy, Ancestors, Carribbean Genealogy, Family Historical Records	5 Comments
Resource: Genealogia Nuestra – Our Ancestors access 2/11/2018
One of the terms that many of us that descend from enslaved ancestors know is the word manumission. Manumission is the term used when referencing the freedom of those that were enslaved. The term is used when individuals managed to attain their freedom, whether through the slaveholder freeing them or through the enslaved person purchasing their freedom or a family member do thing for them.
While many of us would like to find these records, it isn't an easy task. It becomes harder for those of us who have ancestors that come from the Caribbean. Many records have been destroyed or lost due to fire, hurricanes, the humidity, and the insects that enjoy eating through the records.
Many times when books were found to be in poor condition, they would wind up being burned as trash. Preservation is not a priority when many face struggles in feeding their families and maintaining homes.
While records are disappearing, many have taken on the mission of preserving these records, which helps many in the genealogy world discover records that were not previously available to them. Many of these preservation projects are taken on via grants through universities around the globe.
One such project is based out of the United Kingdom but easily accessible in the USA. While the project has identified that there are 70 registers but the first 4 volumes are missing. The volumes that are available are Volumes 5 through 12, contain people who were manumitted in the following parishes across Jamaica covering the time period of 1747 through 1838:
St. Dorothy
St. Thomas in the East
St. Thomas in the Vale
The volumes are as follows and if browsing from a computer, they will open in a new tab:
Volume 5 – 443 Images
Volume 10 – 363 Images

"Called in at the last minute to score this bizarre and fascinating black comedy out of the Netherlands, Zorn responded to the stark black and white cinematography by turning in this intimate and moody score for piano trio. Brilliantly performed by Rob Burger, the fabulous pianist from Alhambra Love Songs, along with the dynamic rhythm section of Trevor Dunn and Kenny Wollesen, they capture the mood beautifully, bringing a subtle depth to Zorn's lyrical and evocative compositions. Touching upon Debussy, Glass, Guaraldi and Satie, this is a fabulously enjoyable installment of the popular FilmWorks series!"


We have age-appropriate ministries for kids and students (birth through grade 12) so they can experience Jesus on their level.
We have ministries for kids and students (birth through grade 6) so they can learn the basics of the Christian faith in an age-appropriate environment. These engaging, participatory experiences for kids are tailored specifically to help them grow mentally, socially, and spiritually. They'll have a chance to interact with kids their age, have lots of fun, and learn about God, all in a safe setting.
Catalyst is a high-energy student ministry, where students come together to learn more about Jesus through worship, teaching, and groups. Groups are based on age and gender so students feel comfortable seeking the growth and direction they need from peers and trusted adults. Catalyst meets every Sunday night at each of our Indy-area locations.
Traders Point Special Needs Ministry supports families with kids, students, and adults with special needs. These environments are designed specifically to help all people with special needs experience Jesus on their level. Our team is ready and available at each location to assist your kids during all weekend services and even for students at Catalyst.
Each week, photographers capture moments from TPCC events and programs. If you would like to request that your photo or your child's photo not be used in print materials or on the web, please email us at .


Gender: BOY!! Still not sure on the name yet. We have it narrowed down and I definitely have a favorite, but I think we'll wait and meet him first.
Weight gain: At my appointment last week it showed I had gained 31 pounds, which is how much I gained throughout my entire pregnancy with Asher Wade. Yikes! Still have 8 weeks to go too.
Maternity clothes: Oh yeah. And they have to be comfortable maternity clothes. I feel like I'm carrying around a little heater, so the less fabric on me, the better. I recently bought several summery dresses from Pink Blush Maternity that are made of super lightweight fabric, and they have been my favorite. I've had to retire most of my heels and wedges thanks to swollen feet.
Sleep: Not great, but not terrible. It's starting to get a little harder to fall asleep, where before I was pretty much passing out as soon as I turned my Kindle off. Then a lot of nights I wake up once or twice to use the potty, or if I sleep all night I'll end up waking up really early. I'm tired, but I know I'm about to be really tired in 8 weeks or so!
Movement: Yes, still lots of big movements, like he's stretching in there or something. He often turns "sunnyside up" which is not a good feeling on my lower back, but I can usually get him to flip back around with some cat-cow yoga moves. Exercise puts him to sleep for awhile.
Cravings: Nothing out of the ordinary. I have noticed that my appetite has gone down, maybe because I don't have as much room in my belly. Still loving sweets, like cakes and pastries. Lately I've been on this scone kick and our cafeteria at work happens to have some tasty ones, which is a good thing and a bad thing. Also craving protein. I love to have anything cold, like fruit (especially pineapple), frozen yogurt (I've even been sticking a Chobani Greek yogurt in the freezer for an afternoon snack most days) and popsicles. I'm eating a lot of cereal for dinner as well. Lunch tends to be my most well rounded and filling meal of the day. I'm not overly hungry in the evenings and like to just snack or have cereal.
Symptoms: Well, I wouldn't say I'm terribly uncomfortable, but I'm definitely not comfortable. He's really bearing down and I have a lot of pressure in my lower belly and sometimes in my lower back. I've Google'd "premature labor" on multiple accounts. There's been several times where I'll be walking through the hallways at work and I have to stop and grab the wall because the pressure takes my breath away, and kind of scares me for a second. Still having a lot of Braxton Hicks, and often my belly gets so tight I have to lie down to get it to relax. The swelling in my feet has gotten a little worse, and I'm still having a lot of pain in my ankles, shins and calves, although it's primarily on my left side. This is also the ankle where I have the most swelling and spider veins. I try to wear compression socks to bed at night, but they make me even hotter than I already am, so I usually end up stripping them off at some point during the night. They do help though. I sweat a lot more, probably a combo of carrying around a mini furnace and the fact that it's getting hotter outside. I'm also so tired as of late, and I don't think this is entirely due to my inconsistent sleep. Yesterday at work I literally had to shut my door and lay my head down on my desk for a little bit. I contemplated going to my car, turning the AC on and taking a nap. I literally struggle to keep my eyes open. Otherwise though, just peachy, lol! Believe it or not, I'm still going strong at Orangetheory Fitness 4-5x per week. I've completely retired the treadmill, but I use the strider or spin bike and am still using the rower and doing most of the weight training, with a few modifications. Staying active makes me feel so much better.
What I miss: Wine and sleeping on my belly. I've treated myself to my allotted 4 ounces a few times so far and it was fabulous. I also miss being able to jog outside, or even walk more than 10 minutes for that matter, without the stupid pain in my ankles and shins. And I miss being able to get dressed and put my shoes on with minimal effort!
What I'm looking forward to: We have three showers this month that I am looking forward to. I know…how blessed are we?!
Best moment of the week: The 4-D ultrasound we got last week was pretty awesome. They even gave us some short little videos, which were really neat. Also happy to see a healthy, growing baby.

New Iron Man VR bundle announced, launches July 3rd and comes with two move controllers
While some people claim that PSVR doesn't have any good games, those who own one know that this simply isn't the case. Iron Man VR is boosting its way exclusively to the platform this 3rd July just to prove it, releasing simultaneously alongside this new bundle. Announced today over on the PlayStation Blog, it comes with a copy of the game and two move controllers - there's no longer an excuse for PSVR players to miss out.
Setting players in the shoes of their very own trillion-dollar superhero suit, Iron Man VR casts you as the metal-clad hero needing to master the art of high flying as part of an original Marvel adventure. This is your chance to become Tony Stark and replicate his moves in a way never experienced before, facing off against his greatest foes. The new Iron Man VR PSVR bundle will retail for £84.99, and is quite clearly aimed at PSVR owners that own a headset, but not necessarily the move controllers.
Iron man VR's unique style of play will see players use the move controllers to navigate the skies, shooting down enemies with these built-in repulsor jets. Plus, in addition to this bundle, a new demo has just gone up on the PSN store, so if you already have the controllers and want a taste of what to expect on 3rd of July you can.
Iron Man VR is one of 2020's most high-profile virtual reality games of the year, coming exclusively to PSVR on 3rd July. Get the game on its own for the best pre-order price below:

HOUSTON (AP) — Patrick Carr ran for a career-high 139 yards and two touchdowns and Houston rolled to a 48-17 victory over Tulane on Thursday night.
D'Eriq King, who entered the game accounting for a nation's-best 290 points and 35 touchdown passes, combined for 164 yards of offense with two touchdowns. He completed 11 of 15 passes for 82 yards and had 10 carries for another 82 yards. King threw an 11-yard TD pass to Romello Brooker and ran for a 3-yard score, each in the second quarter, to help the Cougars build a 31-9 halftime lead.
Applewhite told ESPN that Oliver reacted to being told by the coach that he was not permitted to wear a long, heavy coat on the sideline because they were reserved for starters. Oliver hasn't played due to a knee injury.

Q: Make my turtle-based game exit button work I want to make an exit button in my code, but it won't work. I would prefer to use exit() but if it is not possible with exit() then you could use an other way to make it work. Also please explain to me how you fixed it -- thanks in advance! My code:

I hope this gives you some useful ideas.  The next thing I'd do is eliminate the while True: call, which has no place in an event-driven world like turtle, and make the body of it a function invoked by ontimer().

José Brasanelli (Milão, 6 de janeiro de 1659 — redução de Candelária, 17 de agosto de 1728) foi um sacerdote jesuíta, arquiteto, pintor, cenógrafo e escultor italiano..

Antes de tornar-se padre jesuíta já tinha recebido completa formação em escultura e arquitetura em Roma, granjeando o respeito dos seus colegas. Com 37 anos é encontrado já na redução de São Borja, de que foi o autor da planta do aldeamento e suas construções, inclusive a igreja. Segundo relatos era um artista consumado em várias especialidades, construindo, esculpindo, entalhando altares e criando cenografias sacras, além de ser professor dos índios aldeados. Embora tenha atuado em outras reduções, sua presença foi mais marcante na de São Borja. Dentre suas obras reconhecidas estão a estátua de São Francisco de Borja em tamanho natural e a de São Luiz Gonzaga. A estátua de São Francisco de Borja se encontra na Igreja Matriz da cidade de São Borja e a de São Luiz Gonzaga na Igreja Matriz da cidade de São Luiz Gonzaga, ambas no estado do Rio Grande do Sul.

Q: SSAS processing timeout at 60 minutes we are facing an issue on our production SSAS server : any process is timeouting after 60 minutes. I cannot find the root cause of why it is happening - in the properties, there is not (anymore) any configuration value set at 60 minutes - most notably, the ExternalTimeoutCommand property is increased from the default 3600 seconds to 7200 seconds.
It is not one query running for 60 minutes, it is xmla batches. On our integration server they are working, and I see no legitimate reason why it shouldn't run on production (i.e. why should the timeout be 60 minutes and not for example 64 minutes? it doesn't have any practical justification), I just cannot find where/how to change the configuration to make it work on there as well. Somebody please advise:)
Thank you,
Aleš


Hvar island still cherishes tradition which brought out one of the most original Croatian souvenirs. Lace made of agave leaves strings has been made on Hvar island since the 19th ct when Croatian seafarers brought it there from Tenerife. Hvar town since then has a lace tradition at its Benedictine monastery where crocheting was taught at Girls' school. The whole procedure begins with agave leaves gathering and extracting strings one meter long. They are being processed after that and then the lace making begins. With this souvenir Hvar got a place on UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Croatia is European leader in the number of elements on that list. Hvar lace, together with the lace from Pag and Lepoglava is one of the 7 intangible cultural heritage elements having UNESCO recognition.

The Republic and Canton of Neuchâtel () is a French-speaking canton in western Switzerland. In 2007, its population was 169,782, of whom 39,654 (or 23.4%) were foreigners. The capital is Neuchâtel.

History

The only part of present-day Switzerland to enter the Confederation as a principality (on May 19, 1815), Neuchâtel has a unique history. Its first recorded ruler, Rudolph III of Burgundy, mentioned Neuchâtel in his will in 1032. The dynasty of Ulrich count of Fenis (Hasenburg) took over the town and its territories in 1034. The dynasty prospered and, by 1373, all the lands now part of the canton belonged to the count. In 1405, the cities of Bern and Neuchâtel entered a union. The lands of Neuchâtel had passed to the Zähringen lords of Freiburg in the late 14th century as inheritance from the childless Elisabeth, Countess of Neuchâtel, to her nephews, and then in 1458 to margraves of Sausenburg who belonged to the House of Baden.

Their heiress, Johanna of Hachberg-Sausenberg (Jehanne de Hochberg), and her husband, Louis I d'Orléans, duc de Longueville, inherited it in 1504, after which the French house of Orléans-Longueville (Valois-Dunois). Neuchâtel's Swiss allies then occupied it from 1512 to 1529 before returning it to its widowed countess.

The French preacher Guillaume Farel brought the teachings of the Protestant Reformation to the area in 1530. Therefore, when the house of Orléans-Longueville became extinct with Marie d'Orléans-Longueville's death in 1707, Neuchâtel was Protestant, and looked to avoid passing to a Catholic ruler. The rightful heiress in primogeniture from Jeanne de Rothelin was Paule de Gondi, Duchess of Retz, who was Catholic. The people of Neuchâtel chose Princess Marie's successor from among fifteen claimants. They wanted their new prince first and foremost to be a Protestant, and also to be strong enough to protect their territory but based far enough away to leave them to their own devices. King Louis XIV of France actively promoted the many French pretenders to the title, but the Neuchâtelois people in the final decision in 1708 passed them over in favour of the Protestant King Frederick I of Prussia, who claimed his entitlement in a rather complicated fashion through the House of Orange and Nassau, who were not even descended from Jeanne de Rothelin.

Frederick I and his successors ruled the Principality of Neuchâtel () in personal union with Prussia from 1708 until 1806 and again from 1814 until 1857.
Napoleon Bonaparte deposed King Frederick William III of Prussia as prince of Neuchâtel and appointed instead his chief of staff Louis Alexandre Berthier. Starting in 1807, the principality provided Napoleon's Grande Armée with a battalion of rangers. The rangers were nicknamed Canaris (i.e. canaries) because of their yellow uniforms.

After the Liberation Wars the principality was restored to Frederick William III in 1814. The Conseil d'État (state council, i.e. government of Neuchâtel) addressed him in May 1814 requesting the permission to establish a special battalion, a Bataillon de Chasseurs, for the service of his majesty. Frederick William III then established by his "most-supreme cabinet order" (Allerhöchste Cabinets-Ordre, A.C.O.), issued in Paris on 19 May 1814, the Bataillon des Tirailleurs de la Garde following the same principles as with the Neuchâtel battalion within the Grande Armée. The Conseil d'Etat of Neuchâtel had the right of nomination for the battalion's officers. The commander was the battalion's only officer chosen by the monarch.

A year later he agreed to allow the principality to join the Swiss Confederation, then not yet an integrated federation, but a confederacy, as a full member. Thus Neuchâtel became the first and only monarchy to join the otherwise entirely republican Swiss cantons. This situation changed in 1848 when a peaceful revolution took place and established a republic, in the same year that the modern Swiss Confederation was transformed into a federation. King Frederick William IV of Prussia did not cede immediately, and several attempts at counter-revolution took place, culminating in the Neuchâtel Crisis of 1856–57. In 1857, Frederick William finally renounced the monarchy's claim on the area.

Geography

The canton of Neuchâtel is located in Romandy, the western part of Switzerland, it is also located in the Jura mountainous region. To its northeast it borders the canton of Bern, to the northwest France (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté). Lake Neuchâtel lies southeast of the canton, while the canton of Vaud is southwest of the canton of Neuchâtel. The canton lies in the central area of the Jura Mountains. Lake Neuchâtel drains the lands in the south, whilst the river Doubs drains the northern areas.

The canton is commonly divided into three regions. The viticultural region is located along the lake. Its name derives from the many vineyards found there. The region called Les Vallées lies further north. The two largest valleys of the canton of Neuchâtel lie in this region: the Ruz Valley and the Val de Travers. Both valleys lie at about . The highest region of the canton, however, is the Neuchâtelois Mountains at  to . This region is made up of a long valley home to La Chaux-de-Fonds, Le Locle and La Brévine.

Government

Neuchâtel was one of the first cantons in Switzerland to grant women the right to vote (1959) and also to grant the vote to foreigners holding a residence permit and who have been domiciled in the canton for at least five years (2002), as well as to lower the voting age to 18.

The legislature, the Grand Council of Neuchâtel, has 115 seats distributed in proportion to the population of the six districts that make up the electoral constituencies: Neuchâtel (35 seats), Boudry (25), Val-de-Travers (8), Val-de-Ruz (10), Le Locle (10), La Chaux-de-Fonds (27). The State Council (cantonal government), five "ministers" who assume the annual presidency in turn and manage the departments of justice, health and safety; finance and social welfare; public economy; regional management; education and culture. The cantonal authorities, which have their seat in the castle (the Château de Neuchâtel), are elected every four years by universal suffrage.

The people also elect their representatives to the federal parliament every four years: five of the 200 members of the National Council (lower chamber) and two of the 46 members of the Council of States (upper chamber).

Districts

Until 2018 the Canton was divided into six districts. On 1 January 2018 the districts were dissolved and all municipalities were placed directly under the canton.

Le Locle with capital Le Locle
Neuchâtel with capital Neuchâtel
Val-de-Ruz with capital Cernier
Val-de-Travers with capital Val-de-Travers

Municipalities

There are 27 municipalities in the canton ().

Demographics

The population is almost entirely French-speaking. The canton has historically been strongly Protestant, but in recent decades it has received an influx of Roman Catholic arrivals, notably from Portugal and Italy. In 2000, its population was closely split between Protestants (38%) and Roman Catholics (31%).

The  inhabitants () are fairly evenly distributed with many small towns and villages lining the shore of the Lake of Neuchâtel. The average population density is . Neuchâtel ( population: ) is the canton's capital while La Chaux-de-Fonds ( population: ) is the canton's largest settlement. Some 38,000 of the inhabitants, or a little less than a quarter of the population, are of foreign origin.

Historical population
The historical population is given in the following table:

Economy
The canton is well known for its wines, which are grown along the Lake Neuchâtel shore, and for its absinthe. The Val-de-Travers is famous as the birthplace of absinthe, which has now been re-legalized both in Switzerland and globally. There are dairy farming and cattle breeding in the valleys, but it is for the breeding of horses that Neuchâtel has a fine reputation. Watchmaking is well-established in the canton, with fine mechanics and microchip production being established more recently. Higher educational institutions include Haute école Arc (representing Bern, Jura and Neuchâtel) and the University of Neuchâtel.

May 10 Lousy & Lazy Sports Writers/Reporters Make Me Angry
Boiled Sports
One of the things I do a lot of on Twitter (and on here, too, to a lesser extent) is go after those in the mainstream media who I feel are doing less than a good job. I'm then sometimes told I shouldn't for a variety of reasons, including: 1) I shouldn't waste my time on idiots. 2) I'm not qualified to criticize. 3) I'm not as established as them so I should shut up. 4) The idiot in question is saying something about your favorite team so thus you automatically side with them like a brainless lemming.
Last week, I was in a particularly surly mood after seeing some of the latest nonsensical crap coming from Dick Weiss' Twitter. On Thursday, in the wake of Gary Williams retiring from Maryland, Weiss puts up this:
"so who's next at md? Mike brey? Jay wright? Shaka smart? The list is starting for this plum acc job."
Uh, what? As I said to him in reply, just throwing sh-t at the wall to see what sticks, huh? This assclown is nicknamed "Hoops"? Sorry, but it's time to rescind that nickname. But if his personality is any indication, he's one of those George Costanza types that gives himself his own nickname. Jackass.
Yes, maybe Mike Brey or Jay Wright are going to Maryland. For as much as we attack the nonsense that the Big East is far superior to the Big Ten, well, it is far superior to the ACC, at least these days. Brey hasn't really taken Notre Dame anywhere, so why would a team that just lost a legend and national championship winning coach want him? And as for Wright, even the most casual observer can tell he is entrenched at Villanova. Has he given indications he wants to leave? No, but Hoops Weiss wants you to think he knows something you don't.
And then, of course, he mentions Shaka Smart, mainly because Smart's name has been in the news in recent months. Prior to March, do you think Weiss even knew where Smart coached? We'll never know, but I doubt it.
Dick Weiss reads the headlines on ESPN.com and then makes things up. That's his routine. And he's learned in his 70 years in the business that people forget things you say five minutes after you say them, unless you turn out to be right. He's also learned this sly little trick employed by lazy-ass people all over the world, and that is to pretend you're "in the know" and you have some kind of "insider information" on something that "might" happen. Of course, it might not, too, and he'll want you to think you'll never know just how close Shaka Smart was to taking the Purdue job and hiring Barack Obama as a consultant. Shut up, Dick.
He also tweeted on Saturday that Sean Miller of Arizona was the "emerges as leading candidate for md job." Really? Weird. Not even close.
Remember, this is the colossal jackass who reported Matt Painter had agreed to coach Missouri when he had done no such thing. He tweeted it out because he obviously misheard someone else and wanted to jump on it, all without realizing how many people were paying close attention to the situation. We questioned his sources that evening, to which the candystriped clown who runs the ESPN 1450 Lafayette Twitter feed lectured us on not questioning someone with the reporting pedigree of Dick Weiss.
This is exactly the problem. There's this misconception out there that if you've done some job for a certain period of time, you're not obligated to be good at it any more. You're entitled to just say whatever you want and be wrong more than you're right, etc. This is NOT okay. And it's a slippery slope.
People like Dick Weiss are paid to report and know these things. Paid..to..know. We're lowly bloggers who don't get paid a dime and yet did a better job reporting from our homes than clowns like Dick Weiss did from their JOBS. This is not okay. And it's even less okay to act like we're out of line for asking someone to do their job more carefully and with more effort.
Changing to a new target, most people who are under 45 know that Rick Reilly is a hack. He has, over the years, written a few really good columns. But he has also rewritten the same columns on more than one occasion, as documented by Deadspin, and he has become more and more of a prick as he has aged.
Witness last weekend, where he gave a commencement address to Colorado's school of journalism and ripped people who "write for fee" and basically bloggers in general. (Thanks, Awful Announcing.)
The two sections being skewered in the blogosphere the most are the following:
"When you get out there, all I ask is that you: DON'T WRITE FOR FREE! Nobody asks strippers to strip for free, doctors to doctor for free or professors to profess for free. Have some pride! What you know how to do now is a skill that 99.9 percent of the people don't have."
He told graduates that journalism will always be relevant, and the "digital house of cards will fold" without trained professionals to dig up documents, check facts, interview people and write well. Bloggers who hold down couch springs in their mothers' basements and write for a few people, he said, aren't carrying out those duties.
Indeed, doctors don't work for free. Except those at free clinics. And professors don't "profess" (clever) for free. Except those giving free lectures, which does happen believe it or not. As for strippers, well, I'll leave that one to Rick's expertise, but I do like that strippers were the first profession he thought of.
It's also hilarious to me that Reilly isn't smart enough to understand how he looks when he refers to the "digital house of cards" and how it will "fold." Yes, Rick, we understand you're scared and technology is something you simply cannot understand. How do all these people get to share their opinions? It's not right! Somebody stop them! (This leaves aside the pesky fact that Rick Reilly left SI to churn out his tired content on ESPN.com -- which is part of the "digital house of cards," genius!)
That's right, only hack writers with moldy journalism degrees from Colorado (oooooh, Colorado! What a pillar of higher learning!) are entitled to make hackneyed jokes about bloggers in their mothers' basements.
You stupid, arrogant 'bag.
These are just two, high-profile examples of sports writing and sports reporting going off the rails. I do have hope that this is going to change, though, as younger guys who embrace social media and interacting with the fans are out there and are getting more and more prominent. Guys like Jerry Palm, Jeff Borzello, Andy Glockner, Luke Winn, Derek Schultz, Mike Hall, Brent Yarina, Mike Miller, and a host of others are doing a great job and, as I said, give me hope.
It's not that hard, as those guys (and others – that list was by no means exhaustive) have realized. You interact and listen and respect others' opinions. Yes, there are jerkwads out there who try to ruin it for everyone, but just like the rest of us, you need to learn how to ignore them.
It's the people like Seth Davis who worry me. Seth has a thin skin and is a complete prick if he decides he doesn't like your questioning or challenging him. He's far too sensitive and believes that he is smarter than everyone else, simply because he gets a paycheck from CBS Sports, I guess. This is always disappointing, and I've told him directly that being obnoxious to the people who are passionate about the topics you cover is…kind of stupid. One of my personal rules/quotes to live by is this: "Until you admit you don't know everything, you'll never learn anything."
My point in all of this rambling is that it's okay to expect more from guys like this. It's also okay to question them and it's NOT a waste of time.
Nobody says you need to first be elected to public office in order to criticize or question politicians, so why do so many talentless hacks in sports writing/reporting act as though you need to be paid by ESPN to have an opinion that matters?

Conflict and Destruction
History records the tedious and repetitious details of human competition, conflict, destruction and killing. Students of world affairs will have little difficulty identifying recurrent problems in the conduct of business and governments and the interaction of countries. Human conflicts and killings are deeply troubling but at the same time, much has been accomplished in reaching for a sustainable, good life for some privileged humans. The rapid development of science, communications and culture exchange is unprecedented in the history of the planet. A smart, kind-hearted subtype of humans flourished despite the persistent presence of crude-thinkers and killers. The smart kind-hearts developed powerful tools of communication to shape the future in a constructive manner.
Since 1946 there have been an estimated 145 armed conflicts, and a "cold war" consisting of a competition between the USA and Soviet Union (Russia)who accumulated massive military organizations and enough nuclear weapons to destroy each other in a matter of minutes. The right to employ and train killers is assumed by police, military and other government organizations. In the 20th century the scale of war escalated to involve most countries of the world and millions of combatants. The destructive scale of world war two has left surviving humans with a legacy of doubt and fear that will not be easily overcome. While in Canada we remember and thank soldiers who fought and died in World War 2 (WW2), there is a curious dissociation between the celebration of victory and the horrors of mass destruction and killing. Every country wants its citizens to view soldiers favorably in case they are needed to fight another war to "defend freedom", but at the same time we celebrate peace and distain people who kill close to home. The aggressions of Germany and Japan in WW2 were so manifestly evil that other implicated nations were motivated to fight against them..
We are developing an understanding how humans have moved from a primordial existence, living in small groups to a social existence that involves living in enlarging cities that are part of larger economic and political organizations. The tendency in most academic and media discussion is to relate current events and then explain the causes of events in terms of local conditions. News reports attempt to emulate scholarly discourse, but only gather a few casual opinions which vary from trivial gossip to somewhat informative but brief explanations out of context. You can argue that none of the best academic systems of commentary on current events such as history, economics, sociology, anthropology, and political science really explain what is going on.
Human nature is the substrate for all events and human action tends be monotonously recurrent. The innate rules of association built into our brain pertain to small groups and tend to become dysfunctional when individuals try to relate as members of large and anonymous groups. Groups less than 150 members strong can often self-regulate using innate behaviors that have evolved over tens of millions of years.
As groups grow larger, humans require regulation using a system of rules and physical constraints that are an external form of behavior coding. The external behavioral coding requires systems of enforcement, capture, judgment and punishment of individuals who break the rules. The external system is ephemeral and must be renewed continuously. The external system grows in scope and complexity as populations increase in size and density. No single human can know let alone obey all the rules of a modern society.
One confusion arises when we believe an idealistic proposition that progress is being made toward a more rational and consistent world. The evidence for a more rational world is limited to specific places for limited periods of time. I live in a rational and consistent community that I consider to be almost utopian. I assume that the privilege of living so well is limited in time and space. My privileges could be suspended at any moment by any number of events natural and manmade.
A realistic appraisal of human events must consider that enlarging populations may lose self-regulation and may become ungovernable at specific times and places. The history of civilization is characterized by recurrent cycles featuring the growth of cities and empires and their dissolution thorough natural disasters, draught, famine, war, disease and the excesses of tyranny. These cycles are also manifest in individual lives and have similar patterns on a miniature scale.
The idealist may fantasize egalitarian societies that coexist peacefully and honor universal rules of human rights. However, humans have a deep tendency to form groups, to develop and defend boundaries and to treat outsiders as enemies. This tendency is expressed in every aspect of human life and dominates the modern world despite concerted attempts to modify this tendency and create just societies. All groups have interests, privileges and costs of membership. All groups have hierarchies and competition for privilege and prestige. The effort to create tolerance and an ideal, egalitarian state counters these deep tendencies and probably will never be stable and enduring
Social organization appears to be basic to animal life. Coherent social organization is achieved by a metabrain- thousands of individual brains coordinated in a network of interacting individuals. One of the functions of social organization is the distribution of individuals in spacetime and the regulation of the interactions. Humans are used to social regulation through speech and written rules and tend to overlook the more basic and pervasive social controllers that operate from innate properties in the brain.
The view that the good and the bad are products of a society is now yielding to the deeper insight that the dialectical nature of the human mind is built it; this dialectic generates culture not the other way around. A well-meaning coalition of humans in Vancouver, for example, held a rally to "eliminate racial discrimination". Their premise was that racial discrimination is a learned behavior and can be eliminated by social policy and education. Human history overwhelmingly contradicts this idealistic notion. Discrimination is an essential feature of the human mind and is not going to disappear.
A more realistic philosophy of human life emerges as we recognize that it is impossible to permanently change human nature by social and political means, by education, persuasion, coercion and law. The practical question that continues to face policy makers is how much external regulation and what kind is required. As the numbers of humans increase and larger numbers live oppressed, in poverty with little hope, the need for external regulation will increase, but no-one knows how to manage such large numbers of unhappy and uneducated humans.
We can argue that a good civilization is based on some form of democracy, full employment, affluence, tolerance for diversity, education, health care, and support for the needy. An educated, participating middle class is essential for democracy to work. The society must seek people with advanced education, highly developed skills and the ability to apply current knowledge.
