Sudan's Leader May Be Accused of Genocide – NYTimes.com
Omar Hassan al-Bashir, the Sudanese president, waved his cane to a crowd last month in Yambio, in southern Sudan (Tim McKulka/United Mission to Sudan, via European Pressphoto Agency)
By MARLISE SIMONS
The president of Sudan, who is already facing an international arrest warrant, came under new legal scrutiny on Wednesday when appeals judges at The Hague reopened the possibility that he may be charged with genocide.
The Sudanese leader, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, became the first sitting president to face an arrest order by the International Criminal Court in March, when pre-trial judges said he should be tried for crimes against humanity and war crimes in Sudan's region of Darfur. But the judges rejected the prosecutor's request to charge Mr. Bashirwith genocide, arguing that the evidence presented was insufficient.The court's appeals chamber, in a short session on Wednesday, directed the judges to reconsider the prosecution evidence and to decide anew whether Mr. Bashir's actions could amount to genocide. They found that the judges had used far higher standards of proof than were needed for an arrest warrant, and that the dismissal of the prosecutor's genocide charges therefore amounted to an "error or law." …continue reading…

New 200CD Box Set is the Last Word on Mozart
September 13, 2016 By Mike Duquette 5 Comments
How much do you love Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? A mammoth box set from Decca is celebrating the composer this fall.
The Austrian composer lived just 35 years, from 1756 to 1791, but his impact on Western music is hard to deny. An acclaimed keyboardist and a composer from age five, Mozart's body of work–which spanned from symphonies to concertos, chamber and sacred music, and even operas like The Marriage of Figaro and The Magic Flute–remains the most influential of the classic period. It's a body of work that still remains fresh and vital, able to transcend generations thanks both to repeated performance and popular culture (notably the 1984 film adaptation of Peter Shaffer's play Amadeus, which took home eight Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director).
Now, 225 years after the composer's passing, W.A. Mozart: The New Complete Edition chronicles every last note of Mozart's many compositions over a staggering 200 discs. Limited to 15,000 copies worldwide, this box features 240 hours of performance, including five hours of new recordings, some done on instruments the composer personally used.
Here you'll find, arranged in chronological order by the famed Köchel catalogue used to collect Mozart's works, everything: original compositions, arrangements of Handel and Bach, fragments, works completed by other composers, and even the newly discovered solo cantana K477a, discovered only last year. Eighteen labels, including Decca and Deutsch Grammophon, will be represented, and 70% of the recordings are alternate to Philips Classics' 180CD box set The Complete Mozart Edition, first released in 1991.
The package includes two hardback books (one a new biography by Mozart scholar Cliff Eisen, one a 120,000-word series of essays and commentary from 30 additional scholars), five art prints, copies of Mozart's last authenticated portrait, a handwritten letter and score manuscripts; an updated Köchel catalogue and access to full scores and texts online.
Seriously, if you know someone who treasures Mozart, this is the box for them. It's available October 28 and can be bought at Amazon and explored further through this website.

A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his intended profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small, from vintage soul to stirring film scores. His passion for reissues turned into a profession in 2014 with co-producing credits on two best-selling vinyl singles for Sony's Legacy Recordings: a 30th anniversary "ecto-green" pressing of Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters" and a celebratory pressing of Wham!'s "Last Christmas" on red and green vinyl. Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of box sets and vinyl.

Release Round-Up: Week of October 28
Wow! I envy the people who have the time in their lives to listen to such collections. This is pretty impressive.
I'd like to borrow a copy from one of the many people who buy it to display in their summer oceanfront mansion. I doubt they'd miss it.
Michael Grabowski says
Thanks for the coverage of a classical collection like this! This one's a little much for me, but there are a lot of great affordable artist, composer, and label-oriented mega boxes (10-50+ discs at as little as $2 per CD) that are worth hearing about here.
Mark H. says
Even as the CD market seems to be fading, we are living in a golden age of large-scale, relatively inexpensive reissues. 200 CDs of Mozart. 100 CDs of Shakespeare. 60 CDs of remastered RCA Living Stereo albums. 50 CD sets of Christopher Hogwood's AAM. Wonderful times for lovers of classics.

Home Cryptocurrency Bitcoin Bitcoin ETF Won't Be Launched On BlackRock Until Crypto is Legitimate Says...
Bitcoin ETF Won't Be Launched On BlackRock Until Crypto is Legitimate Says CEO Larry Fink
The largest asset manager in the world and ETF provider, BlackRock, has slowly warmed up to cryptocurrencies. However, the firm will not be launching a bitcoin exchange traded fund. It may consider doing so if the industry becomes legitimate says CEO Larry Fink.
Bitcoin (BTC) Price Today – BTC / USD
Bitcoin(BTC) $9,119.29
Fink told CNBC at the New York Times Dealbook conference,
"I wouldn't say never — when it's legitimate, yes… it will ultimately have to be backed by a government. I don't sense that any government will allow that unless they have a sense of where that money's going."
Concerns about fraud and scams
The CEO expressed his concern about the high risk of money laundering scams and tax evasion. This is because of the decentralized nature of the currency. It is also anonymous and unregulated for the most part.
Fink said until it changes, the firm with more than $6.4 trillion in assets would not consider a crypto ETF.
He continued,
"I do see one day where we could have electronic trading for a currency that could be a store of wealth… But right now, the world doesn't need a store of wealth unless you need that store of wealth for things you should not be doing."
Index of money laundering
The asset management firm began to explore bitcoin futures as well as other ways to understand the Blockchain and crypto. This came after Fink tagged bitcoin an "index of money-laundering."
Even though Fink was skeptical about virtual currencies, he has been bullish about blockchain for a while now.
Fink said,
"We are a huge believer in blockchain," Fink said. "The biggest use for blockchain will be in mortgages, mortgage applications, mortgage ownership — anything that's labored with paper."
3 months ago, SEC rejected some bitcoin ETF applications and dashed the hopes of many crypto enthusiasts.
In the order rejecting the last bitcoin ETFs, the SEC reported that the applicants could not show how they could prevent market manipulation and potential fraud.
Meanwhile, VanEck, the ETF management firm wants to be a pioneer in the industry to launch bitcoin ETFs. The director of digital asset strategies of VanEck, Gabor Gurbacs, believes that SEC will approve it soon.
He told Fox Business,
"We are the closest that we can be… It is very clear to me that America wants a bitcoin ETF and we are here to build it."
Gurbacs long-term outlook is bullish despite the naysaying of many crypto skeptics.
"I say bitcoin is digital gold and we should not dismiss a potential opportunity for the next financial system".
Another former critic of crypto who recently joined the train is Ron Paul, the former US congressman.
Crypto could prevent recession
Paul is currently calling for tax exemption on cryptos saying that it could prevent a looming economic recession.
"It is likely that the next Fed-created recession will come sooner rather than later… This could be the major catastrophe that leads to the end of fiat currency."
He believes that the only way to prevent an economic crisis is to allow people use the alternative currencies. He also says all transactions in precious metals should be exempt from capital gains and other taxes.

Solar installation in Canada
Alliance-to-end-plastic-waste
Partnering-with-Adani-in-India
Ludwigshafen – January 10, 2019 – Climate protection is firmly embedded in BASF's new corporate strategy. A central goal of this strategy is to achieve CO2-neutral growth until 2030. To accomplish this, BASF is continuously optimizing existing processes, gradually replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources and developing radically new low-emission production processes.
The sky is the limit for Hiawatha's citizens as community hub goes solar
Bullfrog Power and BASF join the Hiawatha First Nation in unveiling a solar installation on the community's flagship business and gathering place
[f.l.t.r.] Leonard Allen, Solera; Anthony Santilli, Bullfrog Power; Chief Laurie Carr, Hiawatha First Nation; Councillor Slade McCalip, Hiawatha First Nation; Councillor Donald Paudash, Hiawatha First Nation; Marcelo Lu, BASF Canada
The Hiawatha First Nation is celebrating a new solar installation on the Old Railroad Stop, the community's flagship business and gathering place. The 22-kilowatt (kW) installation is made possible through support from BASF and Bullfrog Power, Canada's leading renewable energy provider.
"It is vital to do all that we can to protect Mother Earth and the air that surrounds her, and using solar energy is just one way to shift away from carbon-based fuels that negatively impact our world," said Hiawatha's Chief Laurie Carr. "We partnered with BASF and Bullfrog Power to do our part in switching to a renewable energy source. The use of solar energy at our Old Railroad Stop will not only reduce the emissions from carbon-based fuels but will also provide significant savings on energy costs. This is our first step in using renewable energy as a First Nation and the use of renewable energy sources will be included in all our future planning."
The Old Railroad Stop solar installation will generate enough carbon-free energy to meet approximately 14 percent of the building's overall electricity requirements annually. In addition to providing environmental benefits, the solar project is expected to save the Hiawatha First Nation community approximately $154,000 in energy costs over the next 25 years.
The Old Railroad Stop - flagship business and gathering place of the Hiawatha First Nation
Built on the location of an old train station and grocery store dating back to the 1850s, the multi-use facility sits in the heart of the community. It is a gathering place that houses a convenience store, gift shop, gas bar, restaurant and museum. Many members of the community worked their first jobs at The Old Railroad Stop, particularly during the busy summer months. The site essentially functions as a job-training center for local youth and continues to provide employment opportunities for many of them.
"Integrating renewable energy into the landscape of Hiawatha enables the community to craft their own vision for environmental sustainability," said Marcelo Lu, President of BASF Canada. "We're optimistic about the future and supporting innovations that help cities use less energy, make the air we breathe cleaner, and turn ideas into reality; especially when it comes to championing projects in communities where we live and work, and reinforcing our commitment to build lasting relationships with Indigenous communities."
BASF Canada has ties to the Hiawatha First Nation through an employee, Kirk Edwards, who also serves a Councilor for the Hiawatha community.
As part of its work as a social enterprise, Bullfrog Power has supported more than 140 green energy projects nationwide through its community renewable projects program. "With its focus on contributing to a world that provides a viable future with an enhanced quality of life for everyone, BASF is the perfect partner for this community-based renewable energy project," said Anthony Santilli, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Bullfrog Power. "By increasing awareness of the power and potential of solar energy, this project complements a significant landmark in southern Ontario and we are proud to be a part of it."

The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, a federally-recognized Indian tribal government that owns and operates Red Hawk Casino, last week won a permanent court injunction against Cesar Caballero, an individual who has falsely claimed affiliation with the Tribe and its Red Hawk Casino. The Tribe sued Caballero in late 2008, upon discovering that he had filed a fictitious business statement with El Dorado County, thereby holding himself out as doing business as the "Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians." Caballero filed a countersuit seeking, among other things, entitlement to revenues from Red Hawk Casino. U.S. District Judge John Mendez dismissed that countersuit with prejudice.
This issue and its associated legal battles have been ongoing for years, during which Caballero undertook a number of actions designed to confuse the public about his affiliation with the Tribe and his right and title to the Tribe's property and federally-recognized sovereign status, through misappropriation of the Tribe's federally-recognized name. Among other things, Caballero diverted the United States Postal Service's delivery of the Tribe's mail to his personal mail box by submitting false paperwork to the USPS. This was a crime for which Caballero was subsequently charged and convicted by the United States. Caballero has appealed that criminal conviction.
Judge Mendez granted judgment for the Tribe and issued the broad injunction on Friday, Feb. 7, 2013. The decision details a list of the names and combinations of words that Caballero may not use to create any more public confusion regarding his affiliation with the Tribe and its Red Hawk Casino.
Caballero claims entitlement to the Tribe's lands, and to Red Hawk Casino that the Tribe built there. It was only after the Shingle Springs Band cleared all legal hurdles to securing access for its then-landlocked reservation, and was in construction on Red Hawk Casino, that Caballero laid claim to the Tribe's heritage.
"We are pleased that this matter has come to an end," said Nicholas Fonseca, Chairman of the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians. "It was very important to our membership and our various enterprises that we set the record straight."
The permanent injunction will empower the Tribe to enforce its rights against Caballero for all time, should he try to confuse the public or third parties about his affiliation with the Tribe. "The case should stand as an example of the Tribe's intent to protect its fully legal rights against anyone who would take similar action against the Tribe," Chairman Fonseca said.

Museums and presentation of education, wars and the socialist period as problematic memories – experiences in Slovenia
Branko Šuštar, Museum Councillor, Slovenian School Museum, Ljubljana, Slovenia, and President, Historical Association of Slovenia
Institutionalization of traumatic memories is part of dealing with the history of the Second World War. In exhibitions of war crimes it is important to orientate toward humans. The individuals are to be lifted front and center and all hate-mongering should be prevented.
Branko gave an interesting speech about the turmoil situation his country has had in different wars. His countrymen were fighting in all sides of the world wars. How to build a coherent exhibition narration of war history in a country that has so many different narrations?
Sind wir noch Freunde? Displaying the difficult history of the German presence in Finnish Lapland, 1941-44
Mirkka Hekkurainen, Coordinator, University of Helsinki, Finland
The project Mirkka talked about was a multidisciplinary project of archaeology, anthropology, ethnology, history studies, criminology and sociology. The difficult history of Northern Finland in the Second Wold War was addressed by researchers from two universities. "Wir waren Freunde" was an exhibition about the Dark Heritage of Finnish-German collaboration in the Second World War.
The people who used to live during the difficult times of the Lapland war have already reached such an old age that researchers have now the last moments to collect these stories.

Living in New York, I am constantly reminded of the plight of the poor because they are all around me. I encounter panhandlers most days, and two men's shelters are less than a mile from my home. I've seen men and women, both young and old, camped out on busy streets holding handmade signs asking for help. One night as I waited for a subway train, the doors of a train going in the opposite direction opened and revealed several homeless people riding aimlessly to escape winter's chill.
Current budget proposals at the federal government level eliminate or reduce support of many social programs that assist the vulnerable. As women of faith, we must continue to advocate for the vulnerable and work to destroy the myths and falsehood that demonize "the other." But for the grace of God go any of us, no matter how secure we presently feel. The work we do remains very necessary, as the articles you're about to read attest.
In this issue we continue to explore the spiritual growth study Living As a Covenant Community. "Covenant Living With God and Community," on pages 8 to 12, looks at the role of deaconesses and home missioners. Use the study questions at the end to contemplate what you feel called to do to put faith, hope and love into action.
Pastor and professor Henri Nouwen considered flexibility a virtue. "It means moving a little with the winds of the time while remaining solidly anchored in the ground," he wrote. Bethlehem Center in Spartanburg, South Carolina, puts that virtue into practice, as Jessica Brodie reports in "A Solid Foundation" on pages 19 to 23.
For "Empowering Women Through Technology" on pages 27 to 34, photojournalist Nile Sprague traveled to the Dominican Republic and met young women who are gaining valuable computer training through a nonprofit organization that supports Haitian immigrants. With computers and smartphones so commonplace, it's easy to assume that everyone is connected. But a Pew Research Center study reports people of lower income are being left behind in a digitally dependent world. Make the digital divide a meeting topic in your group.
United Methodist Women has historical roots in the Red Bird region of Kentucky. Today, the Red Bird Missionary Conference very actively serves nine counties in the region and preserves their legacy by getting youth involved in their activities. Is this something you could do as well? Read about them in "United Methodist Women in the Red Bird Missionary Conference" on pages 36 to 37.
The case of Freddie Gray, a young man who died of injuries suffered in police custody, exposed the stark racial and socioeconomic contrasts that exist in Baltimore. But "Charm City" began to erode long before his death. Decades of urban flight coupled with the loss of thousands of jobs when its steel plant closed in 2003 have contributed to the city's high rate of poverty. "Manna House," on pages 38 to 41, tells the story of a Baltimore institution that's been feeding the community since the 1970s and now offers additional resources to help improve their lives.

My grand-daughter was over today with my great-grandson of 2 months. Well, I just had to sit at my computer with him, so he could see all of David's pictures (I have them as my screen saver). After a short time, I just had to play David's song Let's Talk about Love. The baby just sat there listening to the song, happy as could be. I said maybe some day you will grow up to be like David. One can only hope. But you never know my grandson is second cousin to Ryan Sheckler the skateboarder. Whenever he comes over, I will always tell him about my Idol David Archuleta.


text:
Реа́льность (от  — вещественный, действительный) — философский термин, употребляющийся в разных значениях как существующее вообще; объективно явленный мир; фрагмент универсума, составляющий предметную область соответствующей науки; объективно существующие явления, факты, то есть существующие действительно. Различают объективную (материальную) реальность и субъективную (явления сознания) реальность.

В диалектическом материализме термин «реальность» употребляется в двух смыслах:
 всё существующее, то есть весь материальный мир, включая все его идеальные продукты;
 объективная реальность, то есть материя в совокупности различных её видов. Реальность противополагается здесь субъективной реальности, то есть явлениям сознания, и отождествляется с понятием материи.

Понятия бытия и реальности изучается разделом философии — онтологией.

Связанные понятия

Истина

Гносеологическая характеристика мышления в его отношении к своему предмету. В разделах науки (физике, химии, истории, социологии и др.) категория истины обладает двойственной характеристикой. С одной стороны, истина есть в традиционном понимании цель научного познания, а с другой — это самостоятельная ценность, обеспечивающая принципиальную возможность научного знания совпадать с объективной реальностью, как минимум быть комплексом базовых решений теоретических и практических задач.

Факт

Термин, в широком смысле может выступать как синоним истины; событие или результат; реальное, а не вымышленное; конкретное и единичное в противоположность общему и абстрактному. Твердо установленное содержание сознания. В философии науки факт — это особое предложение, фиксирующее эмпирическое знание, утверждение или условие, которое может быть верифицировано. Факт противопоставляется теории или гипотезе. Научная теория описывает и объясняет факты, а также может предсказать новые. Утверждение, которое не может быть непосредственно подтверждено или опровергнуто, называется предположением или мнением.

Мировоззрение

Совокупность взглядов, оценок, принципов и образных представлений, определяющих самое общее видение, понимание мира, места в нём человека, а также — жизненные позиции, программы поведения, действий людей. Мировоззрение придаёт человеческой деятельности организованный, осмысленный и целенаправленный характер.

Бытие и реальность
Понятие реальность вступает в сложные отношения с понятием бытия:
 Бытие является совокупностью разновидностей реальности (когда понятие реальности предельно расширено и включает в себя такие понятия как, например, субъективная реальность)
 Бытие содержит реальность как составную часть (когда реальности противопоставлена ирреальность или сюрреальность)
 Реальность содержит в себе бытие (в экзистенциализме, где бытием обладает только человек).

Реальность и виртуальность
Понятия виртуальности и реальности изучаются философской онтологией и гносеологией, а также социальной философией, социологией, психологией, информатикой. При этом понятие реальности рассматривается через бытие в его сопоставлении с небытием, а также возможными формами бытия. Категория «виртуальности» вводится через оппозицию субстанциальности и потенциальности: виртуальный объект существует, хотя и не субстанциально, но вполне реально, в то же время — не потенциально, а актуально. Виртуальность не сводится к современным компьютерным программным артефактам, к ней относятся, например, сны, галлюцинации, транс, коллективные психозы, различные пограничные («сумеречные») состояния сознания, которые являются такими же формами виртуальности, как и образы (симуляции), смоделированные на современных IT носителях. Виртуальная реальность, как категория рядоположная действительности, есть «недовозникающее событие», «недорожденное бытие». В современной научной литературе такой подход, основанный на признании полионтичности реальности и осуществляющий в данном контексте рациональную реконструкцию виртуальной реальности, получил наименование «виртуалистика». Нередко понятие «виртуальности» психологизируется, а изучение феномена «виртуализации» переносится в плоскость проблем личности. Между тем, это социальный процесс, который меняет не только ментальность, но и саму личность. Современная тенденция такова, что виртуальность не только психологизируется и информатизируется, но и социализируется, а социальность — виртуализируется. Виртуализируется не только общество, но и порожденная им личность. Современное информационное общество постмодерна структурируется своим движением к виртуальности.

Виды реальности

Физическая реальность

Материальный мир Вселенной, в сущности — основной объект изучения естественных наук. На текущий момент нет единого мнения касательно понятия жизни, однако учёные в целом признают, что биологическое проявление жизни характеризуется организацией, метаболизмом, ростом, адаптацией, реакцией на раздражители и воспроизводством. Также можно сказать, что жизнь является характеристикой состояния организма. Свойства, характерные для земных организмов (растений, животных, грибов, простейших, архей и бактерий) следующие: они состоят из клеток на углеродо-водной основе со сложной организацией, имеют метаболизм, способность к росту, реагированию на раздражители и воспроизводству. Сущность, обладающая такими свойствами, как правило, считается жизнью. Однако не в каждом определении жизни утверждается, что все эти свойства необходимы.

Социальная реальность

Реальность социального мира. Социальная реальность отличается от когнитивной, биологической или индивидуальной, и состоит из тенденций социально принятых в обществе. Некоторые исследователи, как Джон Сёрль, считают, что социальная реальность может быть установлена отдельно от каждого индивидуума и от окружающей среды (в отличие от перцептивной психологии, в том числе Дж. Дж. Гибсона, и наиболее экологических экономических теорий).

Виртуальная реальность в информатике

Созданный техническими средствами мир (объекты и субъекты), передаваемый человеку через его ощущения: зрение, слух, обоняние, осязание и другие. Виртуальная реальность имитирует как воздействие, так и реакции на воздействие. Для создания убедительного комплекса ощущений реальности компьютерный синтез свойств и реакций виртуальной реальности производится в реальном времени. Объекты виртуальной реальности обычно ведут себя близко к поведению аналогичных объектов материальной реальности. Пользователь может воздействовать на эти объекты в согласии с реальными законами физики (гравитация, свойства воды, столкновение с предметами, отражение и т. п.). Однако часто в развлекательных целях пользователям виртуальных миров позволяется больше, чем возможно в реальной жизни (например: летать, создавать любые предметы).

Компьютерные игры
Интерактивные компьютерные игры основаны на взаимодействии игрока с создаваемым ими виртуальным миром. Многие из них основаны на отождествлении игрока с персонажем игры, видимым или подразумеваемым. Существует устоявшееся мнение, что качественная трёхмерная графика обязательна для качественного приближения виртуального мира игры к реальности. Если виртуальный мир игры не отличается графической красотой, схематичен и даже двумерен, погружение пользователя в этот мир может происходить за счёт захватывающего игрового процесса (см. поток), характеристики которого индивидуальны для каждого пользователя. Существует целый класс игр-симуляторов какого-либо рода деятельности. Распространены авиасимуляторы, автосимуляторы, разного рода экономические и спортивные симуляторы, игровой мир которых моделирует важные для данного рода физические законы, создавая приближенную к реальности модель. Специально оборудованные тренажёры и определённый вид игровых автоматов к выводу изображения и звука компьютерной игры/симулятора добавляют другие ощущения, такие как наклон мотоцикла или тряска кресла автомобиля. Подобные профессиональные тренажёры с соответствующими реальным средствами управления применяются для обучения пилотов. Несоответствие команд интерфейса пользователя осуществляемым в игре действиям, его сложность могут мешать погружению в мир игры. С целью снять эту проблему используется не только компьютерная клавиатура и мышь, но и компьютерный руль с педалями, целеуказатель в виде пистолета и другие игровые манипуляторы.

Дополненная реальность

Термин, относящийся ко всем проектам, направленным на дополнение реальности любыми виртуальными элементами. Дополненная реальность — составляющая часть смешанной реальности (), в которую также входит «дополненная виртуальность» (когда реальные объекты интегрируются в виртуальную среду). Самые распространённые примеры дополненной реальности — параллельная лицевой цветная линия, показывающая нахождение ближайшего полевого игрока к воротам при телетрансляции футбольных матчей, стрелки с указанием расстояния от места штрафного удара до ворот, нарисованная траектория шайбы во время хоккея и т. п. Сам термин предположительно был предложен работавшим на корпорацию Boeing исследователем Томом Коделом () в 1990 году.
Существует несколько определений дополненной реальности: исследователь Рональд Азума() в 1997 году определил дополненную реальность как систему, которая:
 Совмещает виртуальное и реальное
 Взаимодействует в реальном времени
 Работает в 3D
В 1994 году Пол Милгром () и Фумио Кисино () описали Континуум Виртуальность-Реальность () — пространство между реальностью и виртуальностью, между которыми расположены дополненная реальность (ближе к реальности) и дополненная виртуальность (ближе к виртуальности). Ещё одно определение: Дополненная реальность — добавление к поступающим из реального мира ощущениям мнимых объектов, обычно вспомогательно-информативного свойства. Иногда используют в качестве синонимов названия «расширенная реальность», «улучшенная реальность», «обогащённая реальность».

Консенсуальная реальность

Психологический термин, обозначающий такое описание реальности, в отношении которого достигнуто общее соглашение между людьми (осознанное или неосознанное). Чарльз Тарт в книге «Пробуждение» предложил альтернативный термин — «обусловленная реальность» (conditioned или ), указывая на неточность термина «реальность консенсуса», поскольку никто не спрашивает у индивида согласия, хочет ли он жить в «общепринятой реальности», ведь к ней его приучают путём «обусловливания» — выработки условных рефлексов в процессе воспитания и социализации.

Объективность

Научный подход к исследованию разнообразных явлений реальной действительности, один из основных принципов материалистической диалектики, которая противопоставила себя объективизму. В гносеологическом аспекте «объективность», обозначает возможность познания объективной истины, характеризует содержание знаний, как таковых что отвечают их настоящей природе. В логическом аспекте, предусматривает наличие логических способов для объективного рассмотрения познаваемого предмета.

Медиареальность

Реальность, которую производят, представляют и обособляют медиа. Исследуется медиафилософией. Структура медиареальности:
 Визуальный образ — имидж, мем, медиавирус
 Медиасубъект — участник медиареальности: медиамагнат, журналист, целевая группа.
 Медиатехнологии (логика медиа) — PR, реклама, зеппинг

Объективная реальность

Существование мира независимо от сознания человека (то есть субъекта). Понимание мира не с позиции субъекта, то есть реальности окружающего мира вне зависимости от представлений человека о нём, а с позиции того, что все существует вне нашего сознания и того, что отражается им
(сознанием). «Движение, пространство, время, жизнь и т. д. — всё это свойства или проявления свойств и взаимодействий различных по степени сложности видов материи, которые в совокупности и образуют мир в целом или всю Объективную реальность (Бытие)».

Субъективная реальность

В философии диалектического материализма: реальность идеального, то есть содержания мыслительных процессов. Представление о субъективной реальности возникло на основе ленинского определения материи как объективной реальности. Если есть объективная реальность, то логичным ходом стало предположение существования субъективной реальности. Однако в советской философии возник ряд проблем, связанных с существованием субъективной реальности. Так, например, дискуссионным стал вопрос о существовании подобной реальности у животных, внутри кибернетических систем, а также структура субъективной реальности.

Трактовки реальности
Существует две основные трактовки реальности: реализм, утверждающий объективное существование реальности, которая лишь открывается человеком в процессе познания, и феноменализм, утверждающий, что реальность зависит от познавательной активности человека и конструируется в последней. Например, с точки зрения антиреализма олимпийские боги для древнего грека были такой же реальностью, как и электрон для современного учёного.

Реализм

Философский термин, употребляемый для обозначения направления, постулирующего существование реальности, независимой от познающего субъекта. В философском значении термин Реализм употребляется в трех смыслах:
 реализм как направление противоположное номинализму и концептуализму (умеренному реализму) в средневековой философии (проблема универсалий);
 реализм служит для обозначения философского направления нового времени, противостоящего идеализму. Выразителем этого вида реализма был Гербарт со своими последователями; Эпистемологический реализм или объективизм рассматривает истинное знание независимым от знаний, представлений и верований отдельного субъекта познания. Эпистемологический реализм настаивает на идее, что наш чувственный опыт обеспечивает прямой, непосредственный доступ к объектам окружающего мира.
 реализм как направление противоположное антиреализму в современной философии науки второй половины XX в.

Феноменализм

Философское учение о том, что мы познаем не сущность вещей, «вещи в себе», а лишь явления. В основе феноменализма лежит исследование объектов познания с онтологической и гносеологической точек зрения. В первом случае объекты рассматриваются независимо от вопроса об их воспроизводимости в познании, исключительно с точки зрения взаимозависимости и относительного значения их свойств как известных форм и проявлений бытия. При этом оказывается, что одни свойства могут быть признаны постоянными и первоначальными, другие — сменяющимися и производными. Так, например, плотность или масса представляет постоянное свойство всех материальных объектов сравнительно с их цветом, формой и другими чувственно воспринимаемыми свойствами. Эти последние при известной точке зрения могут быть признаны лишь различными проявлениями массы.

Реальность как восприятие
В обыденной разговорной речи «реальность» может означать «восприятие, убеждения и отношение к действительности», как субъективный взгляд личности на окружающий мир, по принципу: «моя реальность не является вашей реальностью». Это выражение порой используется как разговорное в обсуждениях спорных вопросов, что реально, а что нет, когда дискутирующие стороны не могут достичь согласия. Например, в религиозном диспуте между друзьями, могут в шутку сказать: «Вы можете не соглашаться, но в моей реальности, все идут в рай».

Таким образом, реальность может быть определена, как взгляды, связанные с мировоззрением или его частью (концептуальными основами), отсюда: реальность — есть совокупность всех вещей, структур (фактических и концептуальных), событий (в прошлом и настоящем) и явлений, наблюдаемых и не наблюдаемых. Это то, что мировоззрение (будь то на основе индивидуального или общего человеческого опыта) в конечном счете, пытается описать или очертить.

Некоторые идеи из физики, философии, социологии, литературоведения, и других областей формируют различные теории реальности. Одним из таких убеждений является представление, что не существует иной реальности за пределами восприятия и убеждения каждого из нас о реальности. Такое отношение к реальности представлено в популярном на Западе заявлении, «Реальность — есть восприятие» или «Жизнь — это то, как вы воспринимаете реальность». В эти фразах указывается на антиреализм — то есть, считается, что нет никакой объективной реальности, признана ли она явно или нет.

Многие из концепций науки и философии часто определяются в культурном и социальном аспектах. Эта идея была разработана Томасом Куном в его книге «Структура научных революций» (1962), а в 1966 году вышла книга о социологии знания — «Социальное конструирование реальности» («The Social Construction of Reality») за авторством Питера Бергера и Томаса Лукмана.

Взгляды на реальность в истории философии
Определение реальности играло важную роль уже в античной философии. По учению Демокрита, лишь в общем мнении существует цвет, в мнении — сладкое, в мнении — горькое, в действительности же существуют только — атомы и пустота. «В общем мнении» у него означает то же, что «согласно с общепринятым мнением» и «для нас», не по природе самих вещей; природу же самих вещей он, в свою очередь, обозначает выражением «действительность». Это различение совпадает, таким образом, у Демокрита с различием между «природой вещей», которая существует объективно, и формами её чувственного восприятия субъектом.

Для Платона действительно реальными были только идеи (эйдос). Всё что находится вне мира идей (Гиперурании), Платоном провозглашалось лишь тенью, иллюзией. Аристотель тоже признавал реальность идей, но только в вещах. Подобные мысли характерны также для многих школ классической индийской философии, в которых утверждалось, подлинную реальность имеет только Брахман, тогда как известный людям мир, и даже боги — иллюзия, майя.

Среди важных вопросов средневековой философии выделяется спор о реальности универсалий между реалистами и номиналистами. Реалисты отстаивали тот взгляд, что общие понятия существуют в действительности, то есть являются реальными. Номиналисты считали, что общие понятия существуют только как названия, имена.

Рене Декарт, провозглашая принципы универсального сомнения, пришел к выводу, что единственное, в чём нельзя сомневаться — это в существовании, реальности самого исследователя — cogito ergo sum (думаю, следовательно, существую). Многочисленные философы и философские школы после Декарта стали рассматривать вопрос о реальности мира вне ощущения, перенося основной акцент в область гносеологии (эпистемологии), области философии, изучающий проблемы познания. Марксистско-ленинская философия относит таких философов и такие школы к субъективным идеалистам, хотя они сами себя так не называют. В частности, к ним относились Джордж Беркли и Дэвид Юм. Субъективные идеалисты не обязательно отрицают реальность мира вне ощущений, они либо провозглашают этот вопрос метафизическим, или, как Иммануил Кант, считают, что ответ на этот вопрос требует трансцензуса — выхода за пределы эмпирического опыта.

Гегель, развивая свои взгляды в духе Платона и средневекового реализма, провозгласил, что первичную реальность имеет абсолютная идея, которая порождает эмпирическую чувственную реальность. Марксистско-ленинская философия классифицирует подобные взгляды как объективно-идеалистические.

Сторонники материализма утверждают не только реальность, но и первичность внешнего материального мира, поэтому для них по вопросу о реальности акцент смещается к вопросу о реальности идеального, сознания. Вульгарный материализм решал этот вопрос кардинально, утверждая, что сознание не только существует, но имеет материальную природу.

Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) has updated its premium hatchback offering, the Baleno, for 2019 by giving it a redesigned front fascia, an updated safety kit and a new infotainment system.
Shortly after opening the order books for the new Baleno, MSIL has launched the updated model here at a starting ex-showroom price of ₹ 5.45 lakh for the base petrol variant. While the changes on the 2019 iteration are a part of the model's mid-cycle refresh, they were much-needed to enhance the car's ageing look and appeal.
Well, the most noticeable change up front is the reworked front fascia. It has been redesigned to offer a bolder, wider stance with a new 3-D design grille. Even the fog lamp housing has been revised, and the lamps themselves now sit away from the air dam in the newly sculpted pockets of the bumper. The LED projector headlight units also seem to have undergone a layout revision with a larger presence of smoke-black components. The front bumper has been given a chiselled look, with an aggressive-looking lower lip, similar to the international-spec Swift Sport. Another notable change in the exterior comes from the new, precision-cut 16-inch two-tone alloy wheels. Customers can avail two new colour choices for the 2019 Baleno – Phoenix Red and Magma Grey.
The interior of the 2019 Baleno, too, gets significant upgrades. The seats are now finished in a new seat fabric, carrying a dual-tone combination of blue and black. The dual-tone interior theme has also been carried over to the door cards. In terms of feature offerings, the 2019 Baleno gets Maruti's new Smartplay Studio infotainment system, which recently made its debut in the 2019 WagonR. The new infotainment system gets a 7-inch touchscreen, which also doubles up as the integrated display for the rear parking camera and features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Other than this, the occupants also benefit from the presence of convenience features like Voice Recognition and the Smartplay Studio App (offers navigation aid and live traffic updates).
Mechanically, the 2019 Baleno remains the same as its predecessor and carries over the same engine and transmission choices.
While the Baleno was the first model from MSIL to feature its safety-oriented Heartect platform, for the 2019 model, it gets safety features like dual airbags, ABS with EBD & Brake Assist, pre-tensioner and force limiter seat belts with reminder, ISOFIX child restraint system, speed alert system and rear parking sensors, which are standard across all variants. Recently, the Baleno became the fastest car in its segment to breach the five lakh sales mark.
Here's a look at the variant-wise price breakup of the 2019 Maruti Suzuki Baleno (all prices mentioned below are ex-showroom, Delhi).


The room is located 2 minutes by walk from Esplanaden (bus stops). Very close to bus stops and supermarkets.
The room and the house are furnished. There is everything you need.

Prominent Rochester Jewish Couple Die in Mystery Plane Crash
Larry and Jane Glazer, who died in crash off the coast of Jamaica, are being remembered for their extensive contributions to the community in their home town.
Send me email alerts for new articles by Haaretz
Members of Jamaica's Marine Police leave the port to join in the search for the plane that crashed off the east coast of Jamaica, September 6, 2014. Reuters
The Jewish couple who died in a plane crash off the coast of Jamaica Friday are being remembered for their contributions to the local community in Rochester, New York.
Larry and Jane Glazer, both 68, died when the small plane they were piloting crashed into the sea off the coast of Jamaica, some 2,735 kilometers from its starting point in Rochester. The couple was flying to Florida, where they had a home.
Officials suspect that the plane suffered a sudden loss of cabin pressure, rendering the couple unconscious. Glazer had twice requested to lower his flight path during emergency calls to air traffic control prior to passing out.
Larry Glazer, a prominent real estate developer, was called the "patron saint" of Rochester for his part in reviving the structural relics of the city's past.
The CEO and managing partner of Buckingham Properties, was at the forefront of downtown Rochester's resurgence, with a portfolio that included many of the city's most iconic buildings.
"My vision starts with the idea that downtown can come back and it will be vibrant. It will be different than it was," Larry Glazer said in a recent interview with Rochester's City Newspaper. "I've spent the last few years traveling around this country looking at downtowns, and I see what they've done. And I'm telling you that there's no reason why Rochester can't do it, too."
According to the newspaper, Buckingham Properties, either owns, co-owns, or manages nearly 13 million square feet (four million square meters) of real estate space, including some of downtown Rochester's best-known buildings: Midtown Tower, Xerox Square, and the Bausch and Lomb building.
Jane Glazer, meanwhile, was a math teacher before she setting up a thriving catalog business called QCI Direct, ABC News reported.
Lawrence Fine, Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of Rochester, said that the Glazers were very involved in Jewish and community life and were outstanding people, the Jewish Daily Forward reported.
"They were both leaders in the community and the business world," Fine said. "Both will be hugely missed.
Both Glazers served terms as members of the Jewish Federation of Rochester board. Larry Glazer had a successful real estate business and was also a member of the Jewish Home of Rochester board.
The couple left three children, Melinda, Richard and Kenneth, and six grandchildren.
The Glazer's plane, which took off from New York on Friday morning, triggered a U.S. security alert as it passed its Naples, Florida destination and stopped responding to radio calls about an hour after take-off.
It continued flying south for several hours at an altitude of 25,000 feet before entering Cuban airspace and heading towards the Caribbean, eventually crashing 14 miles North East of Port Antonio in Portland, Jamaica on Friday afternoon. In total, it traveled more than 1,700 miles.
Two U.S. fighter jets were sent to the plane after air traffic controllers were unable to make contact with the pilot. The jet pilots noted that Glazer was slumped over his controls, perhaps from oxygen deprivation.
One of the fighter jet pilots said he could see the pilot of the small plane, a SOCATA TBM 700, which has a pressurized cabin, was still alive. "'I can see his chest rising and falling," he said in a recording of his dispatch. "Right before I left... we could see that he was actually breathing."
The plane, the pilots said, had "frosted windows," an indication of a sudden loss of cabin pressure. Officials said they suspected hypoxia - a deprivation of oxygen - could have caused the couple to pass out.
The pilot requested to fly lower during two calls to air traffic control, according to reports. However, when they asked if he wanted to declare himself in a state of emergency, he said no.
Neither the wreckage of the plan not the bodies of the Glazers have yet been recovered from the sea.

ABOUT ELLINWOOD
Ellinwood is located in Barton County, just north of the Arkansas River on the plains of Central Kansas.
Ellinwood lies in the middle of the Cheyenne Bottoms and Quivira Wildlife Refuge, both natural wetlands that attract nature lovers and hunters.
The first claim was staked in 1872 when it was certain the railroad would be completed nearby. The railroad was finished the same year and the city was named after Colonel John Ellinwood, a civil engineer working for the Santa Fe railroad. Ellinwood became a fast growing community of mostly descendants of southern German/Austrians. Located on the Santa Fe Trail, the town was a social and cultural center of the 1890's.
German heritage is shown by the architecture of Main Street buildings and the underground shops of yesteryear, the tunnels of which are still a huge draw to the community by visitors. Brick streets are carefully maintained.
Today, a community of 2,100 and located in the center of Kansas, it provides a warm, small town environment with many features and services of much larger communities. The municipality has its own power and sewage plants, several water wells, recycling trailer, and compost area.
Ellinwood's schools are an outstanding feature of the city, as is St. John's Lutheran Child Development Center for pre-schoolers. Available are a senior citizen center, civic clubs, hospital, long term care facilities, doctors, clinic, EMT unit and municipal airport. Churches include five denominations.

Casey: 'Bipartisan Frustration Over Budget'
By Kevin Gavin & Associated Press • Dec 12, 2014
"It's hard to make predictions around here and be accurate," says U.S. Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) about the fate of the $1.1 trillion budget.
It's now up to the Senate to pass the huge spending bill to keep the government running through the end of the current fiscal year — Sept. 30.
The measure passed the House Thursday after a day of drama but by a relatively comfortable 219-206 vote. The vote came after GOP leaders sent the House into a seven-hour recess to give the White House time to lobby Democrats angry that the measure weakens rules on trading risky financial products known as derivatives and allows wealthy donors to pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into political parties.
In the end, 57 House Democrats voted for the bill, including two of the party's top three leaders. Democrats argued that there was too much good in the bill to scuttle it and get a worse deal next year when Republicans seize control of the Senate.
"Hold your nose and make this a better world," Rep. Sam Farr (D-Calif.) said.
The measure includes increases for health research, securities regulation, processing a backlog of rape kits and foreign aid. Republicans won cuts to the IRS and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said he hopes the measure will clear the Senate for Obama's signature on Friday, though a vote may not come until the weekend.
Casey noted the House did pass a stop gap funding bill to give the Senate another 48 hours to act on the overall budget.
"On our (Democratic) side, we're determined to stay here as long as it takes," Casey said. "I think there's time to get it done if folks are willing to work together."
President Obama quickly signed the 48-hour extension, and there were no threats of a government shutdown.
But Republicans scored many wins in the legislation, seizing on new leverage gained after their huge victories in last month's midterm elections.
One provision particularly galling to many Democrats would relax new bank regulations that force riskier trades in financial instruments known as derivatives into separate affiliates unprotected by deposit insurance.
The White House stated its own objections to the bank-related proposal and other portions of the bill in a written statement. Even so, officials said Obama and Vice President Joe Biden both telephoned Democrats to secure the votes needed for passage, and the president stepped away from a White House Christmas party reception line to make last-minute calls.
Opposition in the Senate is expected to be led by liberals such as Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who firmly opposes the banking provision, and conservatives such as Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who is incensed over the president's executive actions regarding immigration.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' 2016 Playoff Run Was Powered By Brutal VersaClimber Conditioning Workouts
Don't try this at home.
The Cleveland Cavaliers had a lot of downtime during their run to the 2016 NBA Finals. They swept the Detroit Pistons in the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs, then were idle for eight days before it was finally time to suit up against the Atlanta Hawks. They proceeded to sweep the Hawks, too, and were faced with a nine-day layoff before Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Toronto Raptors. Then, after dispatching the Raps in six games, the Cavs had to wait nine more days before the start of the NBA Finals.
Rest, especially in the postseason, can be a team's best friend, but too much of it can also be a team's undoing. In the first three rounds of the NBA playoffs, teams have no more than two days off between games, usually reserved for when the series switches cities to allow for travel. Sitting for eight or nine days can be a shock to the system, and can take a team both out of shape physically and out of rhythm on the court. The Cavs were determined not to let the former happen, so they engaged in what sounds like absolutely brutal workouts on the VersaClimbers in their practice facility.
In the most recent episode of "Road Trippin' With R.J. and Channing," the NBA-themed podcast hosted by Cleveland Cavaliers teammates Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye, the two players discussed the "killer" VersaClimber workouts the team used to ensure their bodies stayed in peak basketball shape during the layoffs between rounds of the playoffs.
"When we had to stay in shape in between each round with all those days in between, we did a VersaClimber workout," Jefferson said. "So we would go four rounds, basically four quarters, and we'd have teams of guys together, and we would just go 500 feet, 300 feet, 200 feet, etc. on the VersaClimber."
Each player was paired with a teammate, and the two would try to complete the challenge as fast as they could. The "Four Quarters" workout was essentially this: the Cavs had to climb 500 feet in the first quarter, 300 in the second, 200 in the third and 100 in the fourth. By the time it was over, they were exhausted.
"You go to a place where you're like, 'Do I love basketball?'" Frye said. "Because you don't look at the little number [that tells you how far you've gone], and you're like 'I'm starting to get this lactic acid in my legs,' and you're looking at that number and it's like only at 150."
LeBron James's love of the VersaClimber is well known, but it appears as if he gave his teammates a rude introduction to its many virtues.
