Unreflexive common sense thinks of sense-perception as a direct grasping of the nature of the physical world. But when we are confronted with facts about sensory illusion, about the physical and physiological causes of perception, and with modern scientific views of the real nature of matter, it is hard to maintain such a "Direct Realist" theory of perception. We tend to substitute a Copy or Representative theory which puts sense-impressions between ourselves and physical reality. Some philosophers overwhelmed by the difficulties of the Copy theory, retreat into Phenomenalism, which identifies the physical world with our sense-impressions. – The author contends that there are insuperable difficulties for the Representative and Phenomenalist theories. He re-examines all the traditional objections to a Direct Realist theory, and tries to show that they can be overcome. – Part One, «Are the sensible qualities subjective ?» : 1, Arguments to prove the sensible qualities subjective (from sensation, from the relativity of sensible qualities, from illusion); – Part Two, «The argument from illusion» : 2, What are the immediate objects of awareness in perception ?; 3, Refutation of the representative theory of perception (We have no reason to believe in the existence of the physical objects postulated by the representative theory; On the representative theory, there can be no resemblance between sense-impressions and physical objects; The conception of a physical object which cannot be immediately perceived is illogical); 4, Some features of sense-impressions (Can there be sense-impressions nobody has ?; Are sense-impressions just as they appear to be ?); 5, Refutation of phenomenalism, 1 (The phenomenalist gives unperceived physical objects a merely hypothetical existence; The phenomenalist must admit that a universe that contains no minds contains no matter either; Physical objects, which are determinate, cannot be constructions out of indeterminate sense-impressions); 6, Refutation of phenomenalism, 2 (Difficulties for the phenomenalist account of space and time; Phenomenalism can give no account of the numerical difference of minds that exist at the same time; Phenomenalism can give no satisfactory account of the nature of a mind); 7, An analysis of sensory illusion (Sensory illusion as false belief that we are perceiving; "Perception without belief"; Is "perception without belief" essentially belief-inducing ?; A psychological explanation of the occurrence of some sensory illusions); – Part Three, «The argument from verification» : 8, The argument from verification; 9, The nature of perception (Perception always involves the acquiring of knowledge of particular facts about the physical world, by means of our senses; Perception is nothing but the acquiring of knowledge of particular facts about the physical world, by means of our senses); 10, Consequences of our account of the nature of perception (The existence of unconscious perception; Are there intermediate cases between veridical and illusory perception ?; Reformulation of the empiricist theory of the way we acquire empirical concepts; The distinction between sensory illusion and hallucination; The nature of sense-impressions; The argument from verification answered); – Part Four, «The argument from causation» : 11, The argument from causation (The argument from the time-gap); – Part Five, «The argument from science» : 12, The argument from science (Scientific phenomenalism; Difficulties for scientific penomenalism); 13, Direct realism without scientific penomenalism (Can scientific findings undermine perception ?; The argument from paradigm cases); 14, Problems about the secondary qualities (The apparent simplicity of the secondary qualities; Are the secondary qualities really simple ?; Can the secondary qualities be reduced to primary qualities ?); 15, Can physical objects have nothing but the primary qualities ? – Conclusion.

Bloomberg BNA is once again our generous sponsor for the PLLIP Summit Opening Reception on Friday, July 14 from 6:30 – 9:00 pm at The Market & Tap Room, 319 Colorado St.
Built in 1902, The Market & Tap Room is a classic cocktail bar with a vintage feel in the heart of Austin's Warehouse district. The venue is just a short walk from the Convention Center and conference hotel.
Professor Gabriel Teninbaum will explore the legal innovation landscape and describe how that is impacting (and will impact) law librarians. Hear how large and small law firms are incorporating technology, responding to client demands and feedback, and how AI and other technologies and trends continue to impact the competitive legal landscape. Delve into the roles of librarians in innovation, efficiency initiatives, and development of potential new revenue streams.
Data science is a growing field within the legal industry. As organizations within the legal industry attempt to become more data driven, the skills held by law librarians are well suited to help law firms, corporate legal departments, courts and non-profits craft and execute a legal data strategy. After some introductory comments, the session will begin with a hands-on session where teams will help draft a legal data strategy in response to a specific vignette. After working through the specific scenario, Professor Katz will conclude with a general discussion of how to bootstrap a data strategy within your organization using a blend of experts, crowd-sourcing and algorithms.
A moderated panel of your peers will share real life examples of how they work with the IT department to achieve and promote an agenda that leverages technology and knowledge to further the goals of the organization.
Are you a Change Guerilla or Guru? Guerillas work tactically to shape change from the middle. Gurus work strategically to lead change. Both approaches are useful (and sometimes necessary) when your law firm is undergoing change. In this interactive session we will explore key methods used by change guerillas and gurus that can enable you to survive and even thrive in the midst of change.

The Liberty Girls
Imprint: Arrow
Fiona Ford
***THE SECOND NOVEL IN THE COMPELLING LIBERTY GIRLS SERIES. Perfect for fans of Nancy Revell, Elaine Everest, Nadine Dorries and Mr Selfridge.***
March, 1942: new mother Alice Milwood is itching to return to her job as a shop assistant at Liberty's.
Despite her husband still being missing in action, Alice is determined to give baby Arthur the best possible start. She soon settles back into the rhythm of life on the shop floor, and the Liberty Girls rally to help keep everything on an even keel.
But when the American GIs start swarming into London, there are more complications to come. And each of the Liberty Girls has their own impossible storm to weather.
As they each fight their battles on the home front, only their close friendship will give them the strength they need to carry on.
Wartime at Liberty's
Christmas at Liberty's
Fiona Ford is the author of the Liberty Girls series, which is set in London during the Second World War. Fiona spent many years as a journalist writing for women's weekly and monthly magazines. She has written two novels under the pseudonym, Fiona Harrison, as well as two sagas in her own name in the Spark Girls series. Fiona lives in Berkshire with her partner.


If a person was blind from birth but had their vision restored, would that person be able to recognize by sight the objects they knew by touch? This is Molyneux's problem, and it's been a minor thorn in philosophers' sides since 1688. Modern medicine, however, may have come up with an answer.
The thing about philosophy is that the questions that keep thinkers up at night are the ones on the fringes of what can be known at the time. In the late 1600s, Newton was pushing the boundaries and optics were all the rage, so it's not surprising that William Molyneux found himself obsessed with the ramifications of a cure for blindness. For him, the problem was more personal, however, as his wife was struck blind by an illness. He first posed the question to John Locke in a personal correspondence, and in doing sparked several centuries of debate.
Locke believed that the answer was no. He believed interpreting sensory data was a learned experience, so a person who had known what a cube was only through touch would have to learn to recognize a cube by sight separately. Other philosophers, especially those in the Rationalist tradition such as Gottfried Liebniz, disagreed. The only thing that was missing? Any kind of empirical evidence.
The thing is, these days the prospect of curing lifelong visual impairment is not merely hypothetical. It's still not super common, however, so a definitive answer was not forthcoming until M.I.T. professor of vision and computational neuroscience Pawan Sinha founded Project Prakash, a program to restore sight to children in India.
Between 2007 and 2010, Project Prakash restored sight to five children who had been visually impaired from birth. After their surgeries, the children a test using small, Lego-like blocks. First, they were asked to match identical blocks by touch, and then to match identical blocks by sight. It was found that they could achieve both of these tasks—but they ran into problems when they were asked to match one they knew by touch to one they knew by sight. Over time, however, their ability to do so improved, and they also began to develop other visualization skills as well. In short, the verdict is in—Locke was right.

Learn more @ http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/hell-on-earth/
Time Magazine notes that the film "traces how the bloody crackdown on youth dissent in March 2011 metastasized into the intractable conflict that today has left an estimated 500,000 dead and millions uprooted."
"Syria became a civil war in response to the violence of the government; eventually Iran got involved through Hezbollah to support the Assad regime. The Kurds got involved. Turkey got involved. The Arab Gulf states got involved. Eventually all the world powers and all the regional powers had some investment in the war in Syria and in many cases were actively involved in the fighting."
Hell on Earth: The Fall of Syria & the Rise of ISIS – which featured at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival has been screened to wide acclaim by critics and audiences around the world – debuts on National Geographic Channel on Sunday, 11 June at 9 PM EST.

Dr. Ivan Sascha Sheehan, Associate Professor of Public and International Affairs, and Dr. Raymond Tanter, Emeritus Professor of Political Science and former National Security Council Staff in the Reagan-Bush administration, take to the pages of Foreign Policy to issue a call for bipartisanship in the context of congressional oversight of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran.
Foreign Policy was founded in 1970 by prominent Harvard University professor of political science, Samuel Huntington, to give a voice to alternative views about American foreign policy at the time of the Vietnam War.
Since this time it has grown into one of the leading foreign policy magazines in the world with a readership of millions:
"Over the course of almost half a century of award-winning journalism, design, and the presentation of important new ideas from the world's leading thinkers, Foreign Policy has established itself at the forefront of media organizations devoted to the coverage of global affairs. Through Foreign Policy Magazine, our website ForeignPolicy.com, and FP Events, the FP Group reaches an international audience of millions and has become a trusted source of insight and analysis for leaders from government, business, finance, and the academic world."

PRESS RELEASE: Iran Nuclear Deal & Congressional Oversight (Honoring the Legacy of Paul L. Leventhal) | National Press Club | Washington, D.C. | August 4, 2015
WASHINGTON, July 31, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The following is being issued by the Iran Policy Committee Publishing and Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Project:
WHEN: 10:00am-11:00am, Tuesday, 4 August 2015
WHERE: Murrow Room, National Press Club, 529 14th St. NW, Wash. DC 20045
WHY: Nuclear talks with Iran touched off a fierce debate in Washington over the nature of the accord and its review by Congress. Honoring the legacy of Paul Leventhal, a pioneer of Congressional oversight of nuclear nonproliferation who later highlighted the threat of Islamist Iran and its pursuit of nuclear weapons, this panel will critically examine key aspects of the accord that Congress is to assess under the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015.
As a Senate aide, Leventhal organized hearings leading to the 1978 Nuclear Nonproliferation Act. He then created the Nuclear Control Institute, and subsequently joined the board of the Iran Policy Committee, which Raymond Tanter heads, at its debut conference on 23 February 2005. After Leventhal's passing in 2007, NCI's papers were archived at the University of Texas, which established the Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Project and the Leventhal Fellowship.
The NPPP is coordinated by Prof. Alan J. Kuperman, who has written most recently on breakout and proliferation consequences of theIran deal.
Prof. Ivan Sascha Sheehan directs graduate programs in Negotiations and Conflict Management/ Global Affairs and Human Security. The author of several critiques of preemptive force, Sheehan writes and speaks on matters pertinent to congressional oversight of theIran deal, including regime change from within, the Iran threat, and the main Iranian opposition to a nuclear-armed Iran. Sheehan will assess future scenarios and contingencies for the congressional review.
Writings of Tanter include Arab Rebels and Iranian Dissidents, Iran's Breakout and Sneakout, and Appeasing the Ayatollahs and Suppressing Democracy.

In response to Nicholas Kristof's recent column in The New York Times, Dr. Ivan Sascha Sheehan weighs in at Townhall.com on why scholars should examine policy issues and inform the public discourse.
As Washington looks for fresh ideas on Iran policy in the lead up to the next round of nuclear discussions in March, policymakers would be wise to examine some of the sharpest thinkers on Iran and adopt policy prescriptions informed by scholarly analyses.
The unfortunate decision to investigate banality may be the characteristic that distinguishes the contemporary ivory tower from the public forum.
But not every intellectual suffers from the affliction and some have ideas that could inform policy decisions.

Fire crews are working to extinguish a 100 metre by 100 metre grass fire in the BX near Swan Lake. (Jennifer Smith - Morning Star)
UPDATE: Grass fire near Vernon 'well under control'
Fire near L&A, McLennan Road was estimated to be 100 metres by 100 metres in size
Parker Crook
Mar. 28, 2019 3:13 p.m.
UPDATE: 4:15 p.m.
It may be the first grass fire of the season, but that may have been this fire's saving grace, the incident commander said.
BX Swan Lake Fire Department captain Braydon Jones said that 10 firefighters were able to control fire fairly quickly despite the challenge of reaching the fire from McLennan road. By 4 p.m. Thursday, March 28, only an hour after arriving on the scene, crews had the fire "well under control."
"We didn't need to call any additional resources since we got it under control rather quickly, but any later in the season and we would have had a different story," Jones said.

Firefighters were dispatched to the 100 metre by 100 metre grass fire on McLennan Road in the BX near Swan Lake at around 3 p.m. March 28. Jones said the cause of the blaze is not yet known.
"The homeowner was trying to get it under control. We stretched some lines, got a guard around it, got it under control and we're just in the mop-up stage at this time," Jones said.
While it may be early in the season, Jones said the conditions are deceptive.
"It's drier than we think out here – a lot of dust and a lot of dry fuels on the ground still."
Neighbour Tanna Doyle saw the blaze but didn't think anything of it given the time of year and nearby snow.
"It was just little. It didn't look like anything," Doyle said. "It definitely gives you the shivers."

UPDATE: 4 p.m.
The fire has been extinguished.
Firefighters have knocked down most of the Rank 1 grass fire to a ground smoulder and are working on hotspots, a reporter on the scene said.
Three trucks are currently battling the blaze.
There are houses near the fire.
Multiple engines have been dispatched to the grass fire north of Vernon.
The blaze is estimated to bee 100 metres by 100 metres in size.
Fire personnel is on the scene of a visible grass fire on at 7616 McLennan Road.
Two BX Swan Lake Fire Department engines were dispatched shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday, March 28, after the blaze was reported to be near a structure.

Are not their days like those of hired laborers?
and nights of misery have been assigned to me.
The night drags on, and I toss and turn until dawn.
my skin is broken and festering.
my eyes will never see happiness again.
you will look for me, but I will be no more.
so one who goes down to the grave does not return.
his place will know him no more.

Why Did Starbucks Fail In Australia? (9 Reasons Why)
Starbucks is the second largest coffee store in the world, and Australia's market is relatively small.
The company realized that it needed to find a way to get the attention of its Australian customers–and it found it in a surprising place.
Starbucks tried to make a comeback in Australia. They opened 61 stores, but they failed. They opened a lot of stores, but the business environment in Australia was not welcoming.
Why Did Starbucks Fail In Australia?
Starbucks failed because it didn't research the Australian market and didn't take into account the current culture of coffee shops in Australia. It opened a lot of stores quickly without researching the Australian market.
The Australian dollar is higher than the American dollar, which means that a cup of coffee from a McDonalds in Australia is about 25% more expensive than if you purchased it in America.
The average price of a cup of coffee in Australia is significantly higher than in the U.S. (even after adjusting for the difference in currency).
Most Australian coffee shops do not accept credit card payments, and even if they do, it can take days to process a credit card payment for your coffee.
1. Starbucks Didn't Research The Australian Market For Coffee
Starbucks didn't research Australia's markets for coffee before opening up the stores in Australia.
Questions with the same intent can be phrased in an ambiguous way.
Australia's coffee market is small and diverse unlike the US. Australia has more than 100 different types of coffee, in addition to strong specialty brands. There are large amounts of small coffee bean lots, which are less processed, so the taste is very different. Additionally, people are used to the taste from many different sources, such as French press, espresso, and drip coffee.
Starbucks started marketing their products in Australia, but didn't have the cultural awareness to realize that Australians are very different people and didn't drink much coffee.
The problem was that the French coffee chain had overstayed its welcome in France.
2. Starbucks Opened Too Many Stores Too Fast In Australia
The rapid boom of Starbucks came after 2000-2001 when the company began opening stores rapidly across Australia. They opened stores in both urban centers as well as regional locations and suburbs.
Starbucks had a problem with this rapid expansion. It didn't give them enough time to establish themselves within the market and connect with the customers.
 The growth of Starbucks in Australia was not natural and has not created a large customer base to sustain stores.
3. Starbucks Couldn't Compete With The Existing Coffee Culture In Australia
Because Starbucks failed to research the Australian coffee culture before launching its stores, it failed to consider that Australian coffee culture is already well established.
The Great War made the world a more dangerous place. There were increased tensions between the United States and the rest of the world, and immigrants wanted to flee to somewhere safe and stable.
In the US, coffee shops came to fill a need for a space where you could be alone with your thoughts.
With that, coffee houses in Paris and London were filled with Germans, Austrians and the British (and I remember one in particular on Shaftsbury Avenue, near Victoria Station, with a large sign outside: "German coffee and cake").
4. Australians Didn't Warm Up To The Starbucks Culture
Australia has its own coffee culture, and people are not interested in Starbucks's coffee culture. They'd rather pay $4 a coffee than make it at home.
So, they got really annoyed at me, being a coffee snob, and took away my rights to buy coffee and even coffee pods.
5. Starbucks Coffee Was Priced Too High
It's more expensive than the coffee from the shop because of all the things you have to pay for.
What a disaster for coffee chain Starbucks!
But in all seriousness, this does make a pretty solid point about Australia's coffee culture.
The average coffee price in Australia is $3.30.
So the cost of coffee doesn't really seem like a large deterrent to people drinking coffee.
6. Starbucks Drinks Were Too Sugary For Australian Tastes
Australians already have a lot of choice for good coffee, because they love sophisticated drinks like cappuccinos and lattes.
7. The Starbucks "Fast Coffee" Model Was Too Impersonal For Australian Tastes
Starbucks introduced the "fast coffee" model where the espresso shot takes less than 5 seconds and the customer has to wait for 30-60 seconds before being able to have their latte. If this is not fast or fresh enough for you, then you simply have to wait longer.
Not only does Australia have a highly developed coffee culture, but they also are able to make a more personalized experience for their coffee drinkers.
Therefore, Australians are loyal to their local coffee shops, where the staff and clientele are friendly.
The most common use of the comparative are "more", "less", and "most" as in the following example.
Local coffee shops are a place to spend time with friends, chat, play pool, and relax. People can spend anywhere from 30 minutes to three hours at a local coffee shop.
8. Starbucks Tried To Import Its Business Model Directly From The US To Australia
The Australian government was also in a hurry to get the new tax implemented before the election.
Australia does not have many coffee shops as compared to the USA. As a result, Starbucks does not have the same effect in Australia as it does in the USA.
Additionally, the Starbucks people didn't take into account the cultural preference of Australians to side with the little guy.
We decided to support local coffee companies instead of the giant world company.
9. Starbucks Coffees Did Not Appeal To Australian Taste Buds
Australian people like to drink coffee. They like it served in a glass or mug with a teaspoon of coffee grounds in it. They also like it served in a brown paper bag.
While Starbucks had its share of problems, like how its beverages were different from others and how expensive it was, its biggest problem was the fact that its coffee was not good.
The second paragraph is the most common one used to introduce a paraphrase.
What Has Starbucks Learned From Its Mistakes In The Australian Market?
Starbucks decided to close down most of its outlets in Australia. It shut down 61 of its 87 stores.
Starbucks never stopped selling their coffee in Australia. They didn't give up on the Australian market, they just found ways to save money, such as cutting out the coffee chain stores and relying more on the drive thru.
Starbucks is planning to move their new stores to mall locations where they will be able to get an eye-catching, more accessible atmosphere.
Starbucks wants to get ahold of a good amount of tourists, and one way it's doing that is by being more visible. They might even be planning to have a few locations a little closer to the popular backpacker areas and tourist-heavy parts of Australia. The company also wants to be close to universities and places where people are likely to go when they're looking for a place to study or work.
When it comes to coffee, Starbucks is the favorite brand of many people from around the world.
We also have a separate post on whether or not Starbucks is a franchise, why is Starbucks really expensive, and if Starbucks has boba.
In our article "Why Starbucks' Coffee Will Never Be Australia's Favorite Drink", we talked about the key lessons Starbucks learned from failing to make coffee an Australian favorite drink.
This quote was from our article "Why Starbucks' Coffee Will Never Be Australia's Favorite Drink".
Instead, Starbucks made the critical mistake of assuming that just because they know how to sell coffee in the US, they could apply the same formula in Australia.
Starbucks is not going to give up on the Australian market just yet and is positioning their stores carefully to avoid competing directly with existing neighborhood coffee shops.

Q: Stop bash echoing command text I have been given a personal profile on a linux project server running bash 3.2.15. Every time I run a command it echoes the text of the command to screen. This isn't a serious issue, but it bugs the crap out of me. I can't find any specific command in .profile or .bashrc that sets this up, and everything I find through google is how to enable it. Not how to disable it. Anybody got any ideas?

A: It sounds like debugging has been enabled (using set -x). You can disable it using set +x.

Q: JavaFX TableView Sort Policy I have a tableview which has an observable list of custom class objects attached to it (Class type: SalesInvoiceNetSale). The data all displays fine within the table. The last item in the observable list is a totals row (Class type: SalesInvoiceNetSaleTotal which extends the SalesInvoiceNetSale class). I simply wish to make my table not sort the last record within the array if the user tries to sort the table by column. I have found another post pretty much asking how to do the same thing but can't seem to figure this out, I suspect it's my non understanding of Java 8's Lambda Expressions. TableView exclude bottom row (total) from sorting
public ObservableList<SalesInvoiceNetSale> applyTableTotalsToSalesInvoiceNetSaleList(ObservableList<SalesInvoiceNetSale> data, TableView table) {

    // Adds A Total Row To The Table View & Disables The Sort Policy
    double netValueTotal = 0;
    double netDelivery = 0.0;
    double netOversize = 0.0;
    double netDeposit = 0.0;

    for (SalesInvoiceNetSale i : data) {
        netValueTotal += i.getNetValue();
        netDelivery += i.getNetShipping();
        netOversize += i.getNetOversize();
        netDeposit += i.getNetDeposit();
    }

    SalesInvoiceNetSaleTotal rowTotal = new SalesInvoiceNetSaleTotal();
    rowTotal.setNetValue(netValueTotal);
    rowTotal.setNetShipping(netDelivery);
    rowTotal.setNetDeposit(netDeposit);
    rowTotal.setNetOversize(netOversize);
    rowTotal.setLabel("Totals");

    data.add(rowTotal);

    table.sortPolicyProperty().set(t -> {
        Comparator<Row> comparator = (r1, r2)
                -> r1 == TOTAL ? 1 //TOTAL at the bottom
                : r2 == TOTAL ? -1 //TOTAL at the bottom
                : t.getComparator() == null ? 0 //no column sorted: don't change order
                : t.getComparator().compare(r1, r2); //columns are sorted: sort accordingly
        FXCollections.sort(table.getItems(), comparator);
        return true;
    });

    return data;

}

Am very new to JavaFX and can't seem to find by way of example of a sort policy...

A: You can try something like this, for your case :
table.sortPolicyProperty().set(t -> {
    Comparator<SalesInvoiceNetSale> comparator = (r1, r2)
            -> r1 == rowTotal ? 1 //rowTotal at the bottom
            : r2 == rowTotal ? -1 //rowTotal at the bottom
            : t.getComparator() == null ? 0 //no column sorted: don't change order
            : t.getComparator().compare(r1, r2); //columns are sorted: sort accordingly
    FXCollections.sort(table.getItems(), comparator);
    return true;
});

Incase you don't understand what is happening here, a snapshot without lambda expression :
table.sortPolicyProperty().set( new Callback<TableView<SalesInvoiceNetSale>, Boolean>() {
    @Override
    public Boolean call(TableView<SalesInvoiceNetSale> param) {
            Comparator<SalesInvoiceNetSale> comparator = new Comparator<SalesInvoiceNetSale>() {
                @Override
                public int compare(SalesInvoiceNetSale r1, SalesInvoiceNetSale r2) {
                if (r1 == rowTotal) {
                    return 1;
                } else if (r2 == rowTotal) {
                    return -1;
                } else if (param.getComparator() == null) {
                    return 0;
                } else {
                    return param.getComparator().compare(r1, r2);
                }
            }
        };
        FXCollections.sort(table.getItems(), comparator);
        return true;
    }
});

There are a million cute videos of soldiers coming home and the joyous reunions they have with the dogs who remember them, even after long deployments.
But for Staff Sgt. Kevin Brady and his dog Bailey, it was the other way around.
Brady met Bailey when he was serving in Afghanistan. Bailey had started following some local Afghani troops, and Brady's American unit grew attached to the dog.
Brady said that Bailey, an Anatolian shepherd mix, helped comfort his fellow homesick soldiers who were away from their families, including their own pets.
But when his unit went back to the U.S., they had to leave Baily behind.
That's when Guardians of Rescue stepped in. The organization which rescues and finds homes for animals in need helped reunite the two.
Brady contacted the group's vice-president, Dori Scofield, three months ago, asking for her help in bringing Bailey to the U.S.
Scofield agreed. For someone who risked their life serving their country 'the least we can do is help them get their war buddy home,' Scofield told the Port Times Record.
The organization fund-raised $5,000 to reunite Bailey with her master. While bringing Bailey back was a comfort to Brady, it also got the dog out of a potentially dangerous situation. Some people have been known to kill dogs in Afghanistan who were left there by American soldiers.
So Bailey was kenneled up and put on a flight home. She made a stop in Dubai before continuing onto JFK where Scofield picked her up on July 2.
Precious cargo: Scofield picking up Bailey from the airport. Her organization was responsible for raising the funds to bring Bailey to the U.S.
Bailey was taken to Save-A-Pet, another of Scofield's organizations, where she waited a few days before being reunited with her master.
On July 4 Brady finally arrived to pick up 'his battle buddy Bailey,' and take her home with him to Sacramento, California where he is a deputy sheriff and has two sons.
The last time Brady saw Bailey she was still a puppy.
'She got a lot bigger,' Brady said when the two were reunited.
Their reunion was filmed and it's obvious that even though they were separated for months, living in different countries, the two never forgot each other.
Happy together: Bailey seems to be adjusting well to her new life in the U.S.


Spicy Snacks? What's The Deal With Those Things?
There's something about eating a snack that strays away from the sweet side and offers a more tangy and spicy side to the munchie spectrum. However, when it comes to spicy snacks, these few take it to a whole new level of flavor! ...and pain.
Whether it be a challenge or just a love of spicy food, there is no end to what kind of snacks in which you can indulge (or maybe test yourself as well).
Undoubtedly the most popular spicy snack as of today, these noodles take your mouth to a whole new pinnacle of pain! If the regular heat wasn't spicy enough for you, there are multiple levels of intensity, including 2x Spicy, Volcanic, Nuclear, and Cheesy--for the not so daring. Many YouTubers and Instagrammers alike have taken this spicy noodle challenge, and while some easily manage the heat, others are quick to reach for the nearest glass of milk!
The Fire Noodle Challenge began in February 2014, and since then has gone internationally viral. From Korea to the other side of the world in Canada, these noodles have fascinated those looking for a real challenge.
This video is interesting in that the people who tried the food were given a test run with a "mild" version of the rice cake. While the men thought it was no problem, the women already began to tap out! Then, the real test began.
The men said they could smell how strong it was from where they were sitting, which usually means the pain level is a lot higher once it gets to your mouth. Sure enough, the moment they began to eat rice cake their mouths literally began to melt, and their words began to slur.
When I think of spicy food, seafood chips usually don't come to my mind; however, these chips will add a little kick to your life! The first chips are called Bul Jjangppong and are a crunchy alternative to the soup sold by the same chef. While these are definitely not as hot as the fire noodles, I wouldn't be carefree either. The Jjangppong chips have a hard kick to them, and some have said they are the chips from hell, but I'll let you decide that for yourself.
The other seafood-flavored chips are the ever popular shrimp-flavored variety. These are definitely not too hot, but the garlic and chili mix can give you a tingly feeling on the tip of your tongue. These chips aren't usually for everyone so I suggest to eat them with caution if you're not a seafood fan.
While not a K-snack, many Koreans did take to the "One Chip Challenge." This challenge is unique in that the package literally only comes with one chip, but the Scoville level is off the wall with a massive 1.9 million Scoville units! The chip is made out of a Carolina reaper chili, and well, let's just say for most this chip is enough to send you to the hospital if you can't take the heat.
I'm not too brave to try all of these snacks, but I recommend you try your own spicy challenge and tell us at what point you had to tap out and grab that tall glass of milk. Happy eating!

British Gas… worst place to work…in Algeria
Days ago, while I was surfing the net, I came across this info about British Gas. It says that, for 5 consecutive years, British Gas is ranked among the top 50 places to work in UK. The ranking was based on a survey among British Gas employees. Considering the results, one would think it must be great to work for this company… not so sure, I thought…not in Algeria at least.
Obviously, those who rewarded British Gas didn't know about the case of Meriem Mehdi.
This Algerian lady was an employee at this same company and now she is fighting for life as she is entering her second month of hunger strike to protest against her wrongful dismissal by the "good place to work" company. She is suffering from different health problems and had already been admitted to emergency service at hospital. She spent there, her New Year eve… in coma state. She can die anytime…nobody seems to care in British Gas…nobody seems to care in UK.
The SNAPAP, an independent Algerian trade union following Mehdi's case, has issued a statement, accusing British Gas of breach of contract and calling for her immediate reintegration.
So far, British Gas Algeria has refused to meet the SNAPAP representatives for mediation talks in an attempt to resolve the dispute. Expecting nothing from a legal action against her employer that would drown her case within the maze of the Algerian legal system, Meriem Mehdi preferred to go on hunger strike to publicize her case for a fair resolution.
Actually, Meriem Mehdi has publicised more than her case. This issue shed light on the poor working conditions Algerians are enduring at multinational companies based in the oil-rich-south of Algeria. Newspapers are talking about different cases of wrongful dismissals and workplace harassments. In this part of Algeria, against the prevailing laws in our country, trade unions are simply banned and whoever may protest would be fired with no further consideration as it was the case of Zaid. Strange how these multinational companies in the south of Algeria seem to live in an independent zone, out of Algeria….out of law.
May be that is why Meriem Mehdi has chosen an uncommon way to protest.
Every day, I visit the facebook page of Meriem Mehdi as if I would go to visit a sick person at hospital. Wondering how she is today. Hoping she is getting well …somehow…and still alive. Hoping an issue, a fair one, has finally been reached… And every day I leave her weaker, alone under her blanket with nothing except her great determination to get her rights back. I leave her with this bitter feeling of guilt that I cannot do anything to help her….and with this feeling of anger against British Gas and all those oil companies that profit from the wealth of my country (oil and human beings alike) depriving our people from their rights with the shameful silent approving of our dear rulers.
I have to admit that I admire this lady. Meriem Mehdi's struggle is not just against British Gas, it is also, in a sense, against: the giant UGTA (Algerian National trade Union), the Algerian legal system, the Algerian authorities… too much for one lonely woman…
I hope the end of this issue won't be the end of Meriem Mehdi. I hope it would be the beginning of a time where all workers rights are fully respected in my beloved Algeria, especially in the region of the so wealthy…and so inaccessible south of Algeria.

Fall is a beautiful time to be here in Wichita, Kansas. We love to take a few moments during this season to think about all the things we are thankful for, including our awesome patients! Sometimes it can be difficult to enjoy your regular holiday traditions when you have braces, as your diet is restricted for safety reasons. However, we have some good news! Most traditional Thanksgiving foods are actually braces friendly. We have put together this guide to give you some information about which Thanksgiving dishes to indulge in and which ones to save for next year, when your braces are off.
While you're waiting for dinner to be ready, of course you're going to snack! You'll want to avoid crunchy raw veggies, overly crusty breads, and other foods that are difficult to chew. Try snacking on cheese and crackers or fresh fruit before dinner!
Once the plates come out, salads are a great way to balance out some of the heavier traditional Thanksgiving treats you'll be enjoying. Leafy salad greens are awesome for your teeth, but be cautious of crunchy toppings like raw veggies and croutons that can damage your braces.
Most of the traditional main dishes at the Thanksgiving table are already perfect for eating with braces! Meats like turkey, ham, and chicken can all be tender enough to chew if you have braces. Of course, you'll want to cut up your meat, and any other tough foods, into bite-sized pieces. Avoid eating meat directly off the bone, which requires a harmful tearing action that can damage your braces. Sorry, no turkey legs this year!
Most typical Thanksgiving side dishes are already braces friendly, which is great! Orthodontic patients are able to easily enjoy sides like potatoes, corn bread, rolls, stuffing, steamed veggies, and soft casseroles. One side dish that you'll need to watch out for is corn on the cob, as the same tearing action that makes turkey legs a bad choice is required to bite the corn off the cob with your front teeth. However, you can still eat corn as long as you scrape it off the cob first!
A lot of Thanksgiving desserts are also braces friendly! Pies like pumpkin, chocolate cream, and apple are all soft enough to chew. If you have braces, you'll want to avoid desserts with nuts, (like pecan pie), and sticky foods like caramel apples. If you're looking to order some pies for your holiday celebration, check out our local favorites like Spear's Restaurant and Pie Shop or Oak and Pie!
Be sure to bring your toothbrush and floss with you to dinner so that you can clean your teeth and braces after enjoying your delicious Thanksgiving meal. We are so thankful for our awesome patients and their beautiful smiles. Happy holidays!

Q: bad substitution running ${ls ... | sed ...} with bash I got the following error:
./assemblyDB.116.las
test.sh: line 9: ${ls $filename | sed 's/assemblyDB.//' | sed 's/.las//'}: bad substitution

and this is the script:
for filename in $(find . -type f -name "assemblyDB.*.las"); do
   echo $filename
   no=${ls $filename | sed 's/assemblyDB.//' | sed 's/.las//'}
   echo $no
done

A: ${ ... } (curly braces) marks several sorts of parameter expansion, the simplest of which is just expanding the value of a variable. The stuff inside braces in your code isn't a valid parameter name, or any other expansion, so the shell complains.
You seem to want command substitution instead, for that, the syntax is $( ... ) (regular parenthesis).
Also, the ls in ls $filename | sed... seems a bit unnecessary, the variable expands to your filename, and ls just passes it through. You could just use echo "$filename" | sed ... instead.
That said, you could do those modifications directly in the shell:
no="${filename/assemblyDB.}"   # remove first match
no="${no/.las}"

or, using the standard operators:
no="${filename#assemblyDB.}"   # remove from start of string
no="${no%.las}"                # remove from end of string

If you do run sed, you may want to note that . matches any character in regular expressions, so it would be more correct to quote it with a backslash. Also you can give one sed instance both commands: sed -e 's/assemblyDB\.//' -e 's/\.las//'.
And then for filename in $(find . -type f -name "assemblyDB.*.las"); do has all the issues parsing ls has, mostly the fact that whitespace and wildcards in file names will break it. In ksh/Bash/zsh, you could do that whole loop in the shell:
shopt -s globstar         # in Bash
for filename in **/assemblyDB.*.las; do
    ...

A: Instead of ${} use backticks ` [The button below Escape on your keyboard.]

A: Command substitution (line 3)
for filename in $(find . -type f -name "assemblyDB.*.las"); do
   echo $filename
   no=$(ls $filename | sed 's/assemblyDB.//' | sed 's/.las//')
   echo $no
done

is equivalent, as already pointed out, to (line 3, no ls)
for filename in $(find . -type f -name "assemblyDB.*.las"); do
   echo $filename
   no=$(echo $filename | sed 's/assemblyDB.//' | sed 's/.las//')
   echo $no
done

or shorter (line 4 gone, now echo directly)
for filename in $(find . -type f -name "assemblyDB.*.las"); do
   echo $filename
   echo $filename | sed 's/assemblyDB.//' | sed 's/.las//'
done

and the sed command can be reduced to (line 3)
for filename in $(find . -type f -name "assemblyDB.*.las"); do
   echo $filename
   echo $filename | sed 's/assemblyDB.//;s/.las//'
done

or maybe extract the middle part with sed: (still line 3)
for filename in $(find . -type f -name "assemblyDB.*.las"); do
   echo $filename
   echo $filename | sed -r 's/.*assemblyDB.(.*).las/\1/'"
done

now find-iterator instead of for-iterator: (line 1 to 3, 4 gone)
find . -type f -name "assemblyDB.*.las" -printf "%f\n" -exec sh -c "
   echo {} | sed -r 's/.*assemblyDB.(.*).las/\1/'"  ";"

assemblyDB.11.las
11
assemblyDB.9.las
9
assemblyDB.10.las
10

If your filenames are in such or a similar order, the following might work too:
for i in {8..12} ; do ls assemblyDB.$i.las && echo $i ; done 2>/dev/null

assemblyDB.9.las
9
assemblyDB.10.las
10
assemblyDB.11.las
11

(8 and 12 included, to demonstrate missing files in the sequence).


It's a new week and today your TV news includes a look at Fringe's second season; Superman will be teaming with Chuck; The Alien Nation is rising again; True Blood takes a big bit of DVD sales; Patton Oswalt talks life on Caprica; and could Supernatural rise from the grave?
Got a few pics from Fringe's upcoming second season. The pics include The Bishops (Joshua Jackson, John Noble) and Astrid (Jasika Nicole) up to their usual hijinks in the lab, as well as guest star Meghan Markle, who will play junior FBI agent Amy Jessup - I'm guessing while Sr. Agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) is hanging out with Leonard Nimoy in alternate dimensions.
Should I even ask what's up with the cow in a birthday hat? Of course not! It's Fringe!
For the full gallery head over to Sci-fi Wire.
Fringe Returns on September 17 (Thursdays now) @ 9pm ET/PT on Fox.
Superman Returns star Brandon Routh will be joining the cast of Chuck for a multi-episode story arch in the upcoming season. Routh will join the show during its fourth episode where he will be playing a new spy named Shaw who takes over Operation Bartwoski and naturally starts competing for Sarah's affections.
Chuck returns this spring on NBC.
Alien Nation is still making its way back to television. Syfy (and parent company NBC Universal) are working with Twentieth Century Fox to reboot the 80s-90s cult hit show, under the creative direction of Tim Minear, a TV vet with shows like Firefly and The X-Files under his belt.
Minear has claimed that he was the new Alien Nation to be 'The Wire with aliens,' and after seeing all the great stuff that director Neil Blomkamp milked out of the premise for District 9 (a film undoubtedly inspired by shows like Alien Nation), I'd say a retooled Alien Nation definitely has potential.
As for contemporary relevance, Minear claims that examples like the culture clashes happening in many European countries would be a good starting point for the series (transplanted to the US of A, of course).
Head over to Earth's Mightiest for the full interview with Minear. Alien Nation hopes to be in production sometime next year.
True Blood has "glammed" the masses! The DVD of the HBO Series' first season is slowly gaining on Flight of the Concords as the best-selling TV DVD. True Blood has sold almost $46 million in DVDs as of the middle of August.
If you still haven't seen True Blood season 1 (shame on you!) you can snag the DVD for cheap by going here.
Well... Kripke at least makes a kind of concession do Supernatural die-hards out there, claiming that is finale for the series will leave room for a whole new installment of the show, with a whole new mythology to build on, in case it gets an eleventh-hour stay of execution. As Kripke points out, Buffy did it, The X-Files did it, so can Supernatural.
The show returns on September 10th @ 9pm ET/PT on the CW.
Wanna hear actor/comedian Patton Oswalt talk about his role on the upcoming Battlestar Galactica series, Caprica? Oswalt will play Baxter Sarno, a talk show comedian who snags an interview with Cylon creator Daniel Graystone and his wife. There are a couple of good tidbits of the series for you BSG fans who have been wondering what's coming your way.
Caprica starts with a two-hour premiere on January 22, 2010, @ 9 p.m. ET/PT and will air Fridays at 10 p.m. on Syfy.
Check out the interview with Oswalt over at AV Club.
