For a moment I am confused. This happens more often when you take language literally, and yet that is what I want to do; the words do not seem to be meant ironically. Sharing everything with everyone in your life. That must be hell, if you ask me. A world in which you constantly have to be on your guard, because this sharing of information usually happens without your knowledge or permission.
Strictly speaking the app did not break any rules, but it is not surprising that it was soon informally labelled the ‘stalker-app’. And it remains a fact that Facebook keeps its privacy settings carefully hidden and changes them regularly. Facebook wants you to share everything with everyone in your life; bad luck if everyone happens to include someone with evil intentions.
And even if you are aware of what information you are sharing, and are cautious and alert, other people can still share things on the network that you would rather they did not, for example, by tagging you in photos. Going online, logging in, means becoming visible and relinquishing your privacy.
‘In the future everyone will be anonymous for 15 minutes,’ says David Darts, inventor of the PirateBox. He holds one up in the air, a small white box, hardly bigger than the palm of your hand – to use Darts’ own words, ‘basically internet-in-a-box’. It turns out to be a mini router with a USB flash drive sticking out.
And indeed, for the time being it is a tiny internet, not just in view of its hardware, but also of its software. The USB flash drive contains a bare, completely stripped website, a chat box and a file-sharing mechanism. Exchanging files takes place anonymously. The PirateBox does not keep account of who logs in. This anonymity is an important criterion. In fact, Darts originally conceived the PirateBox to by-pass the firewall of his university network so that he could freely exchange files with his students.
Anyone who happens to find himself in the vicinity of a PirateBox can access it freely via WiFi. Initially, an occasional user will perhaps be irritated by the limited possibilities of the network. He cannot use it to check his mail. But then he will possibly become charmed by what he finds. Which could in fact be all manner of things.
I think the PirateBox is charming! I see it as a prop in a nostalgic spy movie. Cold-war romanticism. Which reveals that I do not live in a country ruled by a dictator, where the possession of certain documents is dangerous, where censorship abounds, where there is no freedom of expression and no free internet.
And yet I think: charming. If without being asked I dump something into the mailbox of people I do not know, I am guilty of spreading spam, but if, again without being asked, I place something valuable on the street and see someone bend over and find something he was not looking for, is that not magic? In a time in which everything can be found at the click of a mouse, and in which internet is always on, scarceness and coincidence are appealing.
Of course, the fact that I found mainly MP3 files in the PirateBox demonstrated by Darts, and no shocking WikiLeaks documents, says very little about the potentially revolutionary nature of the PirateBox and everything about man and his circumstances. Just supply him (= Western man) with some advanced tools with which to produce and distribute knowledge (internet) and before long he will be putting silly cat films online.
Nevertheless, the PirateBox provides plenty of food for thought. In fact, behind the two symbols that Darts has attached to his PirateBox – a copyleft sticker and the Jolly Roger – is the idea, the ideology, that the internet should be open and free. Free as in free speech, not free beer. Free because nobody owns it. Free because the user is free.
Contrary to what we might think, currently this freedom simply does not exist. ‘We don’t own stuff, we purchase it,’ says Darts. Apple does not supply a screwdriver with its hardware. It does not want you to unlock and jailbreak your iPhone in order to install other than its own permitted software. Apple does not want you to install a new battery yourself when within a year the old one fails or starts to function badly; it wants you to buy a new iPhone.
‘But if you can’t open it, you don’t own it,’ argues Darts. At least a book made of paper is really yours, you can do what you want with it and need not fear that someone will sneak into your house at night and steal it from your bookcase, like Amazon did to a few Kindle users with George Orwell’s 1984.
Listening to Darts has made me realise: the new reality has materialised long since, piracy will only keep on increasing, it will spread from films and music to the world of things. Technology is unstoppable. Soon I will be able to print designer sunglasses and vases by Hella Jongerius at home. The BREIN Foundation is going to be busy.
I do not know whether this is a bad thing. It all depends on the way you look at it – which is true of everything. Copyright was conceived at a time when it took a huge investment to print books, press gramophone records, and make films. Now tools are cheap. Anyone can make something and put it online. This undermines the old earnings models. You can get angry about this or take a different view and see illegal downloads as free viral marketing. Putting it more existentially, ‘How can you own the sound of music?’ (Aram Bartholl). And in fact, what is happening is not that new at all. Before the invention of the radio, the gramophone record and the CD, all musicians earned their money by performing live.
Just as the PirateBox, Dead Drops is also an anonymous, offline, peer-to-peer file-sharing system, created in October 2010 by the Berlin-based media artist Aram Bartholl when he began to cement USB flash drives into all sorts of walls. Dead Drops form as it were an extra memory in the nooks and crannies of a city. Or extra letterboxes.
With a Dead Drop– just as with the PirateBox – you can upload and download files, even though you have to place your laptop a little awkwardly against a wall to do so. And the project is not entirely offline; if it were, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. A map can be found on deaddrops.com, a database showing all the locations of all the Dead Drops. Among other things, this site also relates how Bartholl placed a few Dead Drops in the MoMa building, so that anyone who owns a laptop containing a few works of art, could upload one and claim that one of his works is at MoMa.
The strength of Dead Drops is that, unlike the PirateBox, the system does not need a source of energy. Because however liberating the new communication technology may be, we are dependent on energy. All these wireless devices, laptops and smartphones devour energy. ‘Every rechargeable device I own is like a new pet that must be fed,’ writes John Maeda inThe laws of simplicity.
The PirateBox has to be plugged in, which hampers its use – even though during the masterclass Darts managed to dismantle a light bulb and tap its energy source in order to feed his PirateBox like a parasite. Dead Drops do not have this disadvantage. But they do have another: from day one, every technology, every storage medium, is doomed to become obsolete. Is anyone still using floppy discs, zip discs or DVDs? Within the foreseeable future, Bartholl will have left behind a world full of unusable protrusions.
The provocation emanating from both projects – PirateBox and Dead Drops – is an interesting one. After all, what do we really want to share? With whom? And who is to be allowed to know? Are we willing to surrender ourselves just like that to a few American companies: Apple, Google, Facebook?
‘True anonymity is too dangerous,’ says Eric Schmidt (former Google top man). ‘If you don’t have anything to hide, you have nothing to fear.’ But what if that is precisely the development that scares us? Imagine that one day you would really like to hide something – but this has suddenly become impossible.
You can click but you can’t hide.
There are alternatives. There is software that allows you to browse anonymously (Tor). There are social networks that are controlled by the users themselves (Diaspora). And, in the words of Maarten Doorman, we do not need to join the herd that obediently eats the fodder dished up by Google. We can place PirateBoxes on windowsills, or take them with us, and see what we come home with. We have a choice. We can participate and hide.

Due to the very poor housing market in California, homeowners in Carlsbad are choosing to upgrade their properties rather than buy a new home. And they’re discovering their need to dump the resulting debris, a problem they hadn’t expected.
The solution for people residing in Carlsbad is to rent a dumpster, which is a big metal container that can hold all the garbage one would collect during a remodeling project such as wood, brick, or drywall.
The type of dumpsters that one would typically find behind malls and are emptied on a weekly basis are called permanent dumpsters. This dumpster demands specially-designed trucks that empty them by raising them over the front or rear of the truck.
Temporary dumpsters are often seen at construction sites and are also referred to as roll-off dumpsters simply because they can be rolled off specially designed trucks. When the dumpsters are filled to the top, they are taken away.
Given that a roll-off dumpster is typically bigger than a permanent dumpster, it is the better option for a home improvement job. Roll-off dumpsters are available in 10, 20, 30, or 40 yard storage units.
The dimensions of the dumpster you’ll need will depend on the type of job. If you are getting into an easy, do-it-yourself project, you will in all probability need a 10 or 20 yard dumpster. If you’re having big work done to your Carlsbad residence (adding a spare room, etc.), you might need something much larger.
It is suggested by 1 Stop Dumpster Rental that you be aware of the various rules and regulations in Carlsbad, CA before you rent a dumpster. There will be different restrictions regarding the usage of a dumpster in different places in California. Some locations may have restrictions on the dimensions of the dumpster that you can utilize in a neighborhood, or may not let you put a dumpster on the street.
After that, get a certified dumpster rental company such as 1 Stop Dumpster Rental in Carlsbad, CA. This is very important because an experienced dumpster company will hold insurance to safeguard from any damages to people or property, will show you in how to correctly dispose of different types of garbage, and will make sure you are in accordance with all Carlsbad policies related to items that can cause an environmental danger and need to be disposed of in a certain way.
The wonderful staff at 1 Stop Dumpster Rental will help you discover the proper dumpster for your Carlsbad do-it-yourself job. Give them a call directly at 888-279-5557 so you can get the correct dumpster for your home remodeling project.

A dog walker sabotaged survey equipment “out of rebellion” for the mess a fracking firm has made of the countryside, a court heard.
Fiona Radford, from Langwith, snipped a cable linking underground probes to a seismic monitor with secateurs, while walking her dog in a field, off Devonshire Drive, on January 20.
Prosecutor Simon Rowe said INEOS, which owns the device, put CCTV footage of the incident on social media and tracked down Miss Radford because she was wearing a distinctive hoodie.
“She had been visited by an elderly lady the day before who was upset because the fields had been damaged by vehicles going on and off the field,” Mr Rowe said.
She contacted INEOS, Derbyshire County Council and landowners, the Welbeck Estates, to complain, but received no response, he said.
“She said she did it out of rebellion for what INEOS had done,” Mr Rowe said. “She wasn’t hiding her actions, she did it in daylight.
INEOS intend to pursue her for the £570 cost of repairs through civil means, the court heard.
He said Miss Radford had seen red when her elderly friend told her she couldn’t use her disability scooter because of the “unfortunate mess” the countryside had been left in by INEOS.
Police initially contacted her daughter because the hoodie seen in CCTV belonged to her, but she was at university, and when Miss Radford found out, she contacted police.
The bench was shown pictures of the area which showed it was “a mess, without a shadow of a doubt,” Mr Little said.
FIona Radford, 49, of Devonshire Drive, Langwith, admitted criminal damage when she appeared at Mansfield Magistrates Court, on Friday.
She was given a six month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £20 government surcharge.

NEW research by the Daily Express shows that as David Bernstein takes over as chief executive of the FA, barely a third of the players starting games in the Premier League are English.
Despite the Premier League introducing the “home-based” rule in the summer, ensuring that at least eight out of the 25-man squads named spent their formative years in England, there is now a record low quota of players appearing regularly in the top flight.
Wigan and Arsenal are the worst culprits. Arsene Wenger has used three English players in his starting line-up (Jack Wilshere 15 times, Theo Walcott 6, Kieran Gibbs 1) to Roberto Martinez’s four (Tom Cleverley 10, Ben Watson 7, Chris Kirkland 4 and Victor Moses 1).
The Premier League’s own rules are hampering the chance of up-and-coming talent to get experience.
While managers can make only two loan signings from Premier League clubs in a season, this January the hordes will arrive from abroad completely unrestricted.
Wigan boss Martinez warned: “In a club like ours, it would help if certain English youngsters from big clubs came here and had some playing time.
“The restriction of two loans forces you to bring in loan players from abroad.

4:1 And he made a brazen altar: its length was twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits, and its height ten cubits.
4:2 And he made the sea, molten, ten cubits from brim to brim, round all about; and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it round about.
4:3 And under it was the similitude of oxen, encompassing it round about, ten in a cubit enclosing the sea round about, two rows of oxen, cast when it was cast.
4:4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
4:5 And its thickness was a hand-breadth, and its brim like the work of the brim of a cup, with lily-blossoms; in capacity it held three thousand baths.
4:6 And he made ten lavers, and put five on the right and five on the left, to wash in them: they rinsed in them what they prepared for the burnt-offering; and the sea was for the priests to wash in.
4:7 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to the ordinance respecting them, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left.
4:8 And he made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left. And he made a hundred golden bowls.
4:9 And he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors thereof with bronze.
4:10 And he set the sea on the right side eastward, over against the south.
4:13 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were upon the pillars.

I understand why that phrase would lead folks to this site, for on several issues of importance to me, I have found myself at odds with Nashville‘s mayor. Frankly, as one who voted for Karl Dean to be our mayor, I have been disappointed at times by a lack of engagement with the social safety net, and what I see as a resistance to engaging citizens directly in the business of governance. I likewise feel that Mayor Dean sold himself as a “progressive” (I hate that word, but I don’t have a better one right now) alternative to the other candidates, someone who would continue our previous mayor’s emphasis on neighborhoods and not forget the needs of the “least of these” in our community. My interpretation of his candidacy seems flawed in hind sight, and I have found myself again and again critical of the priorities that this administration seems to think are important.
But that bent toward critique doesn’t mean that I “don’t like” our mayor, nor that I am unwilling to support anything he suggests. We have honest differences in our visions for our city, differences that are important, but there are times when our visions align more closely, and we find ourselves in agreement.
One of those places is in a belief that the public transit system of Nashville has to be improved, either through the additional of light rail, or through a revamping and renewal of the bus system so that the entire system is more functional.
One of the greats sins of corporate American was the move by General Motors to buy out existing municipal trolley systems to remove competition against the automobile. For many years, Nashville had a vibrant and functional trolley system that efficiently moved folks throughout the city, but as happened in so many cities, these trolleys were shut down in favor of roads. The remaining bus system was kept in place primarily to provide transportation for underclass maids and cooks in North Nashville out to the western suburbs of Belle Meade. For many years Nashville’s bus system was a joke, and it’s only in recent years, with the subsidization of state employees to ride downtown, and the use of the system by magnet school kids, that the system has become more functional and ridership has increased. Even with the improvements, the fact is that the system continues to be difficult to access and understand, and doesn’t functionally work for most people who don’t have the time to take a bus all the way downtown before they can get anywhere else in the city.
Mayor Dean’s vision for improving public transit is spot on, and one that I can agree with. It understands that great cities not only have large public edifices, but also have an effective means of transporting citizens and visitors alike to those public monoliths, as well as to the services they need. This transportation has to be convenient, fast, and efficient in order to lure folks out of their cars. It’s something Nashville needs, and something that I will certainly support.
Yes, it ain’t going to be cheap, and given all of our other priorities, this is something that will likely be pushed to the wayside. As you might guess, my preference would have been to take the billion dollars on the MCC project and devote it to this, but that is not a possibility. Helping car addicted Nashvillians to see the importance of this project will be tough and perhaps impossible. But we need to do it anyway, for improving our transportation infrastructure is greatly needed.
See, I can agree with Karl.
Let’s see if he’s serious about this and can get something moving.

Have you ever been completely captivated by a beautiful setting — maybe a blood-red sunset on the seashore, freshly scented air after a soft summer rain, or a moonlit morning in the mountains?
This past Sunday morning I awakened just before dawn. The nearly full moon was hovering over the rugged Absaroka Mountains to the west. On the eastern horizon the sun, an orange-gold globe, was peeping over the foothills, bathing the summits of the western mountains in an otherworldly glow.
Puffy white clouds raced across the deep blue sky, pushed by a warm wind blowing out of the west.
Suddenly the whole valley around me was alive with a golden-amber light. Everything was glowing, transformed as if we’d moved into another dimension.
Even Daisy Mae, my neighbor’s big beautiful mule, halted her grazing and was uncharacteristically quiet. She just stood there gazing eastward as the sun rose higher and higher. It was as if she was transformed too.
I stood there amazed — how much beauty there is in our world! We don’t even have to look for it. It’s all around us. No matter where we live — in the city, at the seashore, or in the mountains.
But I still see many folks around me blind to the beauty, intently focused instead on all the world’s problems, and their own.
Beauty, as John said, is all around you. And within you — and within all that is.
You’ve heard it said “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” And that is absolutely true. But in our view, that doesn’t mean the beauty exists only in the eye of the beholder. As we see it, it means the beholder has a gift for seeing the beauty — the best — in the world, in him/herself. In all beings.
We once defined love as the choice to see the divinity in all beings. Not just human beings, but all beings, whether you consider them “conscious” or not. All things — all that is — have a consciousness. Even if you consider them inanimate — like a rock or a mountain.
All things — all beings — all that is — are part of God, Goddess, Great Spirit. You are all one — and one with us in our shared divine connection.
And so, if we are all God or Goddess, then we are all beautiful. The first step in shifting your consciousness to a higher level is to simply acknowledge there is beauty in all that is. Maybe you don’t see the beauty now. But it is there.
If you will but look for that beauty all around you, knowing in your heart it is there, you will find your life becoming more joyful and peaceful.
Look for the beauty everywhere — in the obvious places, as in the sunrise, the sunset, the mountains, the sea. But also get used to looking for it in unexpected places. Look for it everywhere.
Look for it in every thing, in every human, in every other being. And, most of all, look for it in yourself.
For when you can clearly see — and appreciate and love — the beauty you are, then you will be inundated by the beauty all around you. It’s always been there. You just haven’t noticed.

A ruling in Germany which has found Eisai’s epilepsy drug Fycompa to have no extra benefits to existing treatments has been heavily criticised by the company and leading specialists.
The company says it is ‘outraged’ at the decision, as it appears to pay no heed to data from open-label studies of thousands of people with epilepsy in Germany who have benefited from the drug.
Germany’s IQWiG (Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care) is the country’s health technology appraisal authority, and works hand-in-hand with another body, the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) to decide which treatments are recommended for use.
IQWiG’s role is similar to the UK’s NICE – and that includes its ability to cause controversy among pharmaceutical companies and others with its decisions.
Eisai is just the latest pharma company to object to what they see as IQWiG’s simplistic approach to appraising the clinical and cost effectiveness of new drugs.
IQWIG applies a strict rule that clinical trial data for a new drug must compare it no more than three standard comparator drugs. Trials of Fycompa (perampanel) fell foul of this rule because it was compared to more than three therapies – but Eisai says the regulator’s rule is entirely inappropriate in epilepsy.
IQWiG’s rule doesn’t acknowledge that combination or adjunctive therapy is integral to many therapy areas, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy. In epilepsy, two or three additional treatments are routinely used – so called ‘rational polytherapy‘ in order to control the condition when it becomes refractory, or non-responsive to monotherapy.
Fycompa (perampanel) is an adjunctive therapy, and can be used in combination with more than 20 standard therapies currently in use. These drugs have a range of different modes of action, which allow doctors to try out different combinations to control a range of symptoms in patients.
Eisai’s drug is licensed to treat partial onset seizures – these are less severe than a ‘generalised seizure’ but nonetheless very debilitating and unpredictable. Up to a third of people with epilepsy do not achieve seizure freedom despite appropriate therapy with anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs).
IQWiG says Eisai has deviated from the appropriate comparative therapy as defined by the G-BA. Eisai says IQWiG’s assessment carries no comment on the drug’s proven clinical efficacy and safety, demonstrated by studies via which it gained EU approval in September 2012.
“IQWiG has yet again failed to acknowledge the benefit of Fycompa based purely on methodological, rather than clinical, considerations” said Gary Hendler, president & chief executive of Eisai EMEA.
Professor Heinz Beck, president of the German Society of Epileptology (DGfE) added his voice to concerns about the ruling.
“It is becoming more and more recognised that treatments in epilepsy have to be individually tailored. Even though we do not understand how to predict who will benefit from a given medication, access to the full complement of new medicines that may help is of crucial importance for the future. This is particularly relevant given the relatively high percentage of people that remain refractory to treatment.
Eisai says that in addition to its standard clinical studies, it has much real world data on the drug’s efficacy and safety of adjunctive perampanel in the treatment of partial onset seizures.
A multi-centre, six-month observational study from nine epilepsy centres in Germany and Austria found that half of the 281 people with highly refractory epilepsy who took part in the study experienced at least a 50 per cent reduction in seizure frequency, and up to 15 per cent became seizure free with adjunctive perampanel.
Fycompa is a first-in-class drug selectively targeting AMPA receptors, which play a critical role in causing seizures. First launched in 2012, the company had hoped the drug would reach global sales of $1 billion within three years, but it is unlikely to reach this target within this timeframe.
GlaxoSmithKline’s (GSK) Trobalt (retigabine) is a rival adjunctive therapy launched in 2012, but it has struggled to make inroads into the market. IQWiG’s response in Germany has played a part in this – the regulator raised the same comparator-related objection to GSK’s drug. It then recommended the drug be included in a reference-pricing system which would have seen a price similar to generic drugs imposed on it.
The company was so incensed by the decision that it withdrew the drug entirely from the German market.
GSK was not the first company to make such a drastic move – it followed two others, Pfizer’s Xiapex and Novartis’ Rasilamlo. In addition, Boehringer Ingelheim decided not to launch its type 2 diabetes drug Trajenta in the country at all because of similar disagreement on the appropriate comparator.
The G-BA has the final say on the cost-effectiveness decisions, and is expected to make its decision on Fycompa by November 2014.
The process now enters a ‘question and answer’ consultation period in which IQWiG accepts written statements and holds oral hearings. Eisai says it is confident that the G-BA will make a “more flexible, patient-oriented approach to their decision making process” which it hopes will consider evidence of Fycompa’s clinical benefit and the needs of people with poorly controlled epilepsy.
However without changes to IQWiG’s comparator rule, it is certain that further clashes will occur over new drug launches in Germany.

Most of the questions I received were in the past couple of days and almost all of them dealt with gun control. But I think what I wrote earlier today is a good response to those queries.
First, I’m glad that someone else posed the question, because I wouldn’t be sure whether to ask “Are the media biased” or “Is the media biased.” I’m sure there’s a Grammar Nazi out there who knows the answer.
But back to the point of this post, I think the answer to both questions is yes. Conservatives and libertarians are whining, but that’s very understandable because the press does try to help the other side. And I have several examples.
But I want to emphasize a key point. Media bias very rarely involves dishonesty. Deception yes, but not inaccuracies. It’s almost always about story selection and what gets emphasized.
Even when there’s a clear-cut mistake, such as the jaw-dropping New York Times assertion about lower education spending, I suspect it’s the result of group-think rather than a deliberate decision to lie.
But there often are deliberate decisions to steer the debate in a certain direction, and I there’s a very good example in a new expose by the Daily Caller. They caught the folks at Bloomberg highlighting poll data that helped Obama and burying the results that might give aid and comfort to the GOP.
A poll conducted last week by an Iowa-based firm showed Americans are conflicted about whether or not to support raising tax rates on wealthy Americans to avert the so-called “fiscal cliff.” But that’s not how Bloomberg News, which commissioned the poll, reported the results Thursday. In a story headlined “Americans Back Obama Tax-Rate Boost Tied to Entitlements,” Bloomberg emphasized only that the poll showed most Americans support President Barack Obama’s insistence on increasing taxes for high-income earners. “A majority of Americans say President Barack Obama is right to demand that tax-rate increases for the highest earners be a precondition for a budget deal that cuts U.S. entitlement programs,” the story, written by reporter Julie Hirschfeld Davis, began. …But in the same poll, American adults were asked “whether it is better to raise the top tax rate the wealthy pay, or to limit the amount people can claim in tax breaks, such as mortgage interest and charitable contributions, so they end up paying tax on a bigger share of their income.” Fifty-two percent responded that they preferred limited tax breaks to a tax-rate hike. Only 39 percent said they would rather see tax rates on the wealthy increase. Nine percent indicated they weren’t sure. …Bloomberg mentioned the second question in the story’s 20th paragraph, and gave no indication that the results suggested support for Boehner or House Republicans.
Kudos to the Daily Caller for catching the folks at Bloomberg with the hands in the cookie jar.
Notice, though, that there are (presumably) no falsehoods or fabrications in the Bloomberg report. The bias shows up in terms of what gets prominent coverage and what gets buried.
Gee, what a big concession to fairness.
P.S. You can see a couple of good cartoons about media bias in this post, and another good one at the bottom of this post.
I don’t feel any buried aggression towards conservatives. Some of my best friends are conservatives.
Everette, Fox compared to all other cable news networks(outlets)? That certainly doesn’t level the playing field against the major networks, most magazines and most of the newspapers that all lean severely left.
Paul – I sense you have a little buried aggression towards conservatives. Do you believe that calling them such names is a good way to make them allies? Many conservatives are much closer to Libertarianism than regressives.
Fox News helps level the playing field. Did you know that more money is spent by advertizers for space on Fox News than all the other news outlets combined?
It’s funny that WaPo, NYT, and NPR are positioned slightly to the right of the fulcrum. Also funny is the appearance of “LIBS” on the shirt of an illiberal who is a leftist or a progressive. Why funny?
The cartoon is clearly meant to pander to rightwingers, and “LIBS” is even a rightwing pejorative. Yet most rightwing conservatives are too closedminded and too stupid to figure out on their own that leftists appropriated long ago the word liberal to disguise the radical illiberalism of leftism and progressivism. Further still, the right wing conservative is so pig headed that even when it admits what leftists did to political language, the rightwinger still refuses to stop aiding and abetting their illiberal cousins, who understand well enough the reptilian nature of rightwing talk radio and who could do a lot worse than to smother it with a crushing burden of regulations.
First, I can’t believe anyone even asks this question anymore. Media bias goes back at least to Walter Concrete and the Tet Offensive. And it’s not limited to the U.S. media, as evidenced in this wonderful little piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDw5a0_iFBk.
Now, the CBC later expressed ‘regret’ over the inadvertent juxtaposing of the two clips in Lawand’s report, but that in itself was BS. The report was an obvious attempt to smear Harper, and there’s no way to deny that.
Second, while technically “media” is the plural of “medium” and should take a plural verb, English usage has turned it into a singular (and the monolithic nature of the main stream media has added to that effect), so using the singular verb will only get you into trouble with the most prescriptive of grammarians.
Brent Bozell and the Media Research Center spend a lot of time trying to expose the bias in the media, and their website http://www.newsbusters.org is a great source for reading about it. And you’re right, most of the time the bias comes in the form of what gets reported.
However, I also notice a lot of bias in the WAY things get reported, including terms used (such as pro-choice vs. anti-abortion), ratios of liberals to conservatives interviewed, selective editing, etc.

Even when done well, the romantic comedy is easy to pick on. They’re so earnest and full of clichés and unrealistic fairy tale standards. Intelligent women have been taught that there should be a healthy serving of self-hatred with whatever enjoyment you might glean from a well-done makeover montage. You don’t have to look much further than the phrase “rom-com” (like chick-lit) to know that. The dismissive term seems to have been thrown at the genre to take it and its fans down a few pegs, as if to say, no no, silly girl, that’s not cinema or literature or even art.
This is the world we and Natalie, the heroine at the heart of ”Isn’t It Romantic ,” live in, where these addictively appealing and occasionally great films come our way that we have to relegate to guilty pleasures or couch with disclaimers. And it can get rather exhausting that the justification always has to come back to a comparison to Nora Ephron, the only purveyor of rom-coms who has undeniable crossover film snob appeal.
And that’s kind of the premise of “Isn’t It Romantic” in which a rom-com hating woman played by Rebel Wilson bonks her head and ends up in one herself. It’s written by Katie Silberman (who wrote the great “Set It Up”), Erin Cardillo and rom-com veteran Dana Fox (“The Wedding Date,” ″What Happens in Vegas”) and directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson.
Natalie is introduced as a young girl glued to the television in a run-down apartment where her mother is off to the side making an ice cream and boxed wine float. On the screen is a young Julia Roberts in a bubble bath in “Pretty Woman.” Natalie’s mother tells her not to expect anything like that out of life. They don’t and never will look like Roberts and so the fairy tale is out of the question. Pretty harsh, but her mom is right, “Pretty Woman,” unlike so many great romantic comedies, is actually evil.
Cut to adulthood and Natalie is a normal, messy adult. Her apartment is small and dirty. Her hair is a little frizzy. Her clothes are ill-fitting. Her co-workers at the very ordinary looking architecture firm where she works treat her like an assistant and she can’t seem to see that her friend with the 90s Jim Carrey haircut, Josh (Adam Devine), is in love with her.
Much like Amy Schumer’s underappreciated and thematically similar “I Feel Pretty,” it takes a traumatic head injury for her to wake up in rom-com land, where Manhattan smells like lavender, cupcake and wedding shops adorn her city street, her apartment is palatial and clean and looks like a magazine spread, a handsome billionaire named Blake (a wonderfully goofy Liam Hemsworth) wants to date her and everyone is very, very nice (except her best friend at work, Whitney, played by Betty Gilpin, who has turned into a rival).
“Isn’t It Romantic” stays pretty surface level, which makes for a fine and pleasurable viewing experience, but doesn’t exactly do anything to show that rom-coms would be better if the best friends had more of an inner life, for example. In fact, it just kind of redeems the formula in some ways. It’s fun to join a world with unrealistically glamorous jobs and apartments and wardrobes and cities, especially when there’s a good story to go along with it! And also that you can never go wrong with an upbeat song and dance scene. No guilt necessary.
I suppose if there is a message to be minded from “Isn’t It Romantic” it’s that perhaps in all of our skepticism and jadedness about rom-coms, we became ashamed to want nice things, both in entertainment and life.
“Isn’t It Romantic,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “language, some sexual material, and a brief drug reference.” Running time: 88 minutes. Three stars out of four.

A dependent personality disorder diagnosis can help people with dependent personality disorder (DPD) to find proper treatment for their issues. People with dependent personality disorder are preoccupied with a fear of abandonment, are easily hurt by criticism or disapproval, and avoid taking responsibility for tasks, projects, and decisions. This makes people with DPD very dependent of someone else, and can result in tolerating others to emotionally, sexually, and physically abuse them as long as they also get support and nurturance from that person. Having a dependent personality disorder diagnosis helps people understand why they behave the way they do and teaches them how to change their behaviour.
Because of the risk of getting dependent on the therapist, psychotherapy for dependent personality disorder should be as short as possible. This is contrary to most other personality disorder treatments, where long-term treatments are more effective than shorter ones. Another important note to keep in mind: in order to get a proper dependent personality disorder diagnosis some other mental disorders need to be ruled out, such as borderline personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder.
Here is a list of the dependent personality disorder symptoms as listed by the DSM V.

(1) The person has difficulty making everyday decisions without a disproportionate amount of reassurance and advice from others. This means that someone with dependent personality disorder feels a lot of insecurity, doubt, and anxiety when he or she needs to make an everyday decision, and that is why they (repeatedly) ask others around them for reassurance and advice.
(2) For most major areas of his or her life the person needs others to assume responsibility. Someone with dependent personality disorder experiences a lot of stress and anxiety when facing life changing decisions, because they are afraid others may disapprove of their decision, and because they are afraid to make the ‘wrong’ choice.
(3) The person has difficulty expressing disagreement with others because of an unrealistic fear of loss of support or approval. Just like everyone around you someone with dependent personality disorder has an opinion of their own. But they don’t dare to share their point of view, unless they are sure others share the same opinion. If people have a different opinion, they keep theirs for themselves, for the sake of not losing approval or support.
(4) He or she has difficulty initiating projects or doing things on his or her own. This is not because of a lack of motivation or energy, but because of a lack of self-confidence in judgment or abilities. Starting projects, or tasks is difficult for people with dependent PD, because they are afraid to make mistakes or to get criticism of others around them. They don’t dare to trust their own creativity, skills, and abilities, so it’s safer for them to wait for others to start.
(5) The person goes to excessive lengths to obtain nurturance and support from others, to the point of volunteering to do things that are unpleasant. Suffering emotional, physical, and sexual abuse is acceptable for someone with dependent personality disorder as long as these abusive people give nurturance and support.
(6) He or she feels helpless or uncomfortable when alone because of exaggerated fears of being unable to care for himself or herself. For someone with DPD being alone means to have to take care of themselves. And this is difficult, because they don’t trust their own abilities and judgment.
(7) The person urgently seeks another relationship as a source of care and support when a close relationship ends. Someone with DPD has a pervasive need to be taken care of. Being alone makes them feel very insecure and upset; feelings they really don’t like.
(8) He or she is unrealistically preoccupied with fears of being left to take care of himself or herself.
NOTE: Dependent personality disorder must be present for more than 6 months and can’t be diagnosed if the person meets the criteria of borderline personality disorder or histrionic personality disorder.

It's a week before Easter, my neighbor, and I are driving home from the local feed store with two baby ducklings. Socrates, whom we often called " Sock" was a Rouen, and Plato a White Pekin. For several weeks I kept them inside my home, first in a large bird cage, then, as they grew in size, the bathtub became their home, until I was able to complete their very large 6' x 4' cage. They imprinted with me right away, so whenever I left their sight they began peeping quite vigorously. They delighted in taking showers, then I would fill the tub, and watch them splash, and dive into the water.
After about 2 months they were ready to go outdoors, and live in the big cage. They also now had their own swimming pool with a ramp my neighbor had built which allowed them to climb up, and dive into the water. Everyone loved them, and watched over them as if they were innocent children. One morning around 5:30 am my neighbor came to my door with big tears in her eyes. She had been out on her patio when she heard " Sock" whimpering , so she went to their cage, and found Plato had, for some unforeseen reason, died during the night.
My heart was broken as I picked her up and carried her out to a grave site we had prepared for her. Socrates was beside herself with grief, running back, and forth, quacking, and quacking as if to say " Please make her better Mom", " Please don't take her away from me". We who are of the human kingdom understand all too well the heartache involved in the loss of someone we love, but never had I witnessed this same kind of grief coming from an animal. For days Socrates whimpered at night in her cage. My neighbor suggested I bring her in the house at night so she wouldn't be alone at night. I attempted to drape my bed with old sheets thinking she could sleep with me? She stomped all over me, quacking like crazy. I finally resorted to putting her back into the bathtub, her old homestead. My neighbor asked the next day how it went? I told her it was like sleeping with the enemy?? But still she, during the day, would just sit, and stare for hours, motionless, or she would run back, and forth in front of my door quacking until I would come out, and pick her up, and rock her in my arms.
She grew more, and more dependent on me. Every day she ran to greet me when I came home from work, immediately laying down in front of me whimpering until I picked her up, and rocked her. She quacked at every strange car that drove in, she would visit the neighbors during the day, quacking,and carrying on until she was acknowledged, or someone would come out, and play with her. In the back where her cage was I had strung white christmas tree lights all over the trees. She knew every night when the lights went on it was time for her to kennel into her cage. I would go out, and hold her, and kiss her good night. She loved having her tummy rubbed, and her bill stroked. One day I had come home from grocery shopping, and as always, she came running out to greet me. I picked her up to hold her, and she bravely climbed up on my shoulder, and perched herself, quacking, and looking around as I walked around the yard.
Later that day as I was looking out my window I saw her fly from the back of my yard clear out to the front of the driveway. My reflexes didn't kick in immediately, but within seconds I sensed her endangerment. It was a coyote. I flew out my front door, running, chasing, screaming, crying. I ran to the street, my heart was hurting so I couldn't breathe. She was gone------- For days I couldn't sleep. Why couldn't I protect her. I felt guilt beyond guilt. I would imagine holding her , and rocking her in my arms as I cried myself to sleep. One night I dreamed of her. It was as if I was seeing her essence, or an aurora around her. The colors were so vibrant, and beautiful---Deep purples, indigo blues, forrest greens, and a brilliant fuchsia.
Do animals have an individual soul as do humans? I'm not certain. Does the unconditional love we give to our pets extend beyond this physical plane. Does our love,and compassion help, or heal in some way the evolution of the animal kingdom? She will always be in my heart, she was my best friend. I love you Sock, I will always miss you.

More than 350 Primary Care health and social care professionals, including GPs, are due to meet at the Primary Care Partnership Conference in Croke Park on the 31st March & 1st April. The conference will bring 32 key national and international thought-leaders together with the single aim of finding a solution to Ireland’s health challenges.
Keynote speakers from Australia, Canada, Germany, the USA, Ireland and the UK will discuss the theme “Defining Primary Care in the 21st Century”. Find out about the speakers here.
Final tickets are on sale now. NAGP members can use the promo code GPI95 on Eventbrite to avail of tickets for €95. GPs will receive 11.25 CPD credits for attendance along with 2 GMS study leave days.
The conference, in its second year, will address health reform in the Irish system; utilising technology in health; Primary Care Resource Centres; transitional funding into Primary Care and keeping patients out of hospitals. A broadly representative audience of GPs, Practice Nurses, Physiotherapists, Dieticians, Podiatrists/ Chiropodists and many more will come together to address these issues. Read the full programme here.
At the inaugural conference in 2016, a submission document outlining a vision for the future of Primary Care was drafted. Last year, that document was the catalyst for a significant shift in the public discourse on health care reform. Now, all stakeholders recognise the necessity of a decisive shift to Primary Care for the benefit of patients. This year, the outcome of the workshops will, again, form the basis of a submission document which aims to influence public discourse to the same extent.
A satellite session on Technology in Primary Care will explore technological advances and best practice. Thought-leaders in digital and health technology will come together to share their vision for the future and the role technology will play in Primary Care. This session will take place on Friday, the 31st March in parallel to the main session.

What are some ways to hinder a seafaring ship that is pursuing your ship?
For those of you familiar with ancient seafaring, how do you stop a boat thats chasing you?
Re: What are some ways to hinder a seafaring ship that is pursuing your ship?
I warmly recommend you read Master and Commander - It's a great book and it'll answer your question, since there are a few chases.
You need to give us more details. What are the class of the ships involved? Is it a sloop being chased by a frigate?
But obviously that's not always possible (you don't want your masts ripped off the ship, so you manage with the wind). And if the ships go to similar speeds, then your goal is to keep your distances until night comes, then to change your path and shut your lights, in order to lose your chaser.
If a ship is catching on you and you want to absolutely avoid capture, you throw the cannons overboard, then the cannon balls, the food, everything that can be thrown over-board to lighten the ship.
Another option is to tack.
It allows you, if well done, to take your pursuer by surprise and cut through their line, though it will probably expose you to a full broadside.
Cut your brother Absyrtus up into little pieces and throw a bit of him over the side every so often so that the other ship will be ordered by the king to stop and pick him up.
Interesting reference, but the deep sea where limbs don't float won't work like a countryside dirt road. Or an amoral captain.
Also I guess I hadn't read the question properly, since another way of making a boat stop a chase is to turn it into splinters.
The problem here is that you rarely have a weaker running after a more powerful. Or else it'd be an easy problem to solve. If your crew is good and lucky they could even hit the magazine in the enemy ship and blow it up. Making it catch fire does the same, it makes cannons fire from heat, then the magazine blows the ship up.
In the Master and Commander film there was the scene where the French privateer ship was in pursuit of the Surprise. They rigged up some floating structure which copied the placement of the ships lanterns. Then they cut the rope connecting it to their ship at the same time extinguishing their own lanterns.
I've no idea if this was ever a recognised tactic though.
-If the pursued is a smaller ship, head into shallower waters where the pursuer ricks damaging their hull.
-Make it interesting, have a pursuit when there is no wind. Have the crew wet the sails and tug the ship with their launch boats.
-If they are identical ships, has one ship had it's hull scraped recently? Lots of barnacles etc attached to the hull can cause a lot of drag.
-Is one ship carrying more cargo than the other? More guns?
If the chase is important enough, cargo can be dumped, on either side. Not sure how much a hull scrapping makes in equal sized ships? But we also don't know what kind of ship we're dealing with. A well maintained ship would never be doing anything in enemy waters with a hull slowing down progress progress in such a disadvantageous manner.
Shallow water are a good idea, but dangerous, since a ship of any size can beach itself, and old sail boats obviously don't have radar technology to tell them more. A bigger ship in a chase could probably see fit to beech itself if it allows a crippling blow, or a boarding.
I'm not sure if a pursuit with no wind would be very interesting, but I love the idea of sea mines. It's very recent technology, but they're so ominous! Of course you've got a problem in designing them, since they need to be fully submerged, or else it'd be easy to avoid them.
So either a mixture of floater and weight to have them lurk a while under the water, or you could carpet the whole sea behind you just as your enemy gets too close to disengage.
That would give a little steampunk quality to a ship I guess. It's a lovely idea for close combat chase, beside having cannons fore and aft.
In Master and commander there also is a really cool scene (in the book) where Maturin (the dr) after seeing in dismay how plague ridden ships are scrupulously ignored, whether or not they might have survivors, tricks the enemy in thinking their own ship has the plague.
First off, (and that's another idea, but not for a direct chase) they repainted the hull and changed flags, to pass for a danish boat. You'd have to do that if you knew some other boat is chasing you somewhere, but hasn't spotted you yet.
I'm not sure if a pursuit with no wind would be very interesting, but I love the idea of sea mines.
It worked quite well in Sharpe's Trafalgar where the ship Sharpe was on was chasing after a French ship. They lost their wind and all the while the crew were thinking of ways to catch the wind again.
Yes, but it requires pretty sharp writing skills and works best as one of the solutions in a sea-related book. Since @Newway12 hasn't given us any detail, it's hard to know... But I reckon a chase like that would be the less impressive in a book that spends little time on a boat.
In Master and Commander, or Sharpe's Trafalgar, it's cool because it's offering variety from the other ship maneuvers.
Shot holes in the hull or sails of the other ship, launch oil and fire onto the other ship which will force them to slow and deal with the greater problem, if you ship is smaller it can go over shallower water, launch a net with floating posts behind your ship to slow the other by drag, add a substance to the water to create a thick material around the other ship, Give your ship and emergence sky sail (a sail launch into the air like a kite to catch stronger winds at a higher altitude). Hope this sparks a few ideas.
If you're in range to shot cannons at the other ship, or to make any spill efficient, then it's not a pursuit but a fight. If you're far away enough, anything you throw overboard can be easily avoided. A net would need to be sf/f enhanced to cause any serious drag.
The idea of a sky sail is just as problematic as studding sails : they need to be anchored down, and not be pushed so much by the wind that they'll rip off. It's only oiled cloth... When the winds are strong you take sails down, not the opposite.
The problem with a topsail like you describe is also that for it to be attached to the mast, you'd need it's mast in place at all times, and this mast will need support, big stays, futtock plates and shrouds. That's also additional weight you carry even when you can't get enough sail out.

Undoubtedly one of the UK's most instantly recognizable tourist attractions, Stonehenge is one of the top 'must see' sights for those visiting not just Bath and the West of England but the UK itself.
Whilst archaeologists still debate the reasons for its purpose (and how they actually managed to constuct it), Stonehenge is just one of several prehistoric monuments to be found in this area so stone afficionados can indulge themselves by visiting several sites with Celtic Horizons whilst those with tighter schedules can take in Stonehenge (and perhaps nearby Avebury or Salisbury) on either a guided tour, airport transfer tour or custom tour.
Stonehenge can be visited either on an airport transfer tour (when travelling to or from your Bath or West of England destination and a London airport), on one of Celtic Horizon's suggested tour routes or build it in to a custom tour around your own requirements - contact us for details and prices.

Life in camp was very different for officers and enlisted men. Officers were usually allowed more comforts and freedoms. Privates and non-commissioned officers led a more Spartan life.
Officers in the field lived better than enlisted men. They slept one or two officers to a tent. Since the officers provided their own personal gear, items varied greatly and reflected individual taste.
Each junior officer was allowed one trunk of personal belongings that was carried in a baggage wagon. Higher-ranking officers were allowed more baggage. Unlike infantrymen, who slept and sat on whatever nature provided, officers sometimes had the luxury of furniture.
Enlisted men, unlike their officers, carried all their belongings on their back. On long marches, men were unwilling to carry more than the absolute essentials. Even so, soldiers ended up carrying about thirty to forty pounds.
Each soldier was issued half of a tent. It was designed to join with another soldier's half to make a full size tent. The odd man lost out. The shelter halves were so useful that they were used after the war. As a result, very few remain today.
When suitable wooden poles were not available for tent supports, soldiers would sometimes use their weapons.

What senses do you prefer to use as you learn?
Which are your strongest intelligences?
Research by Dr Howard Gardner at Harvard University indicates that we have not a single fixed IQ, but several different forms of intelligence. They can all be developed, but it makes sense to use your strongest type of intelligence while you learn.
What are the main types of intelligence?
Traditionally, academic subjects have been taught in ways that largely emphasise two of these intelligences – Linguistic and Logical Mathematical – through lectures and logically formatted books and courses. So students who are naturally strong in these forms of intelligence will perform comparatively well at school.
Since Mathematical and Linguistic Intelligences are also the basis for IQ tests, IQ tests have become reasonably good predictors of school success – because that's the way children will be taught! It is a self-fulfilling prophecy – and indeed a self-perpetuating system as teachers will also have done well in the same school system.
"Multiple intelligence education is multiple chance learning."
It is only when we develop our complete range of intelligences that we are able to experience fully the richness of life's opportunities.
And it's only when people learn the techniques that best match their strongest intelligences that they have an opportunity to achieve their full potential.
Our courses take the latest concepts on intelligence and research on the brain and put them into practice.

Football is a rigorous and carnal sport, so I like my head football coaches fiery and passionate. When the chips are down, I want a leader who’s pacing the sideline, red-faced and emotional, motivating players, yelling at assistants, and arguing with refs. Show me someone calm and collected, reticent and reserved, tight lipped and poker faced, and I’ll show you a coach who looks as if he doesn’t give a damn. Give me Woody Hayes over Jim Tressel any day of the week. I’ll take an animated Pete Carroll over a stoic Bill Belichick just for the difference in energy level alone. Marvin Lewis in this day and age? No thanks! Enthusiasm, spirit, and zeal are what counts in my book.
For this reason, I like Mark Stoops. The fifth-year UK head football coach has always worn his emotions on his sleeve while pacing the sidelines of both Commonwealth Stadium and Kroger Field. He’s been known to give the officials an earful when he thinks his team’s been shafted. I’ve seen him toss a few headphones as the clock winds down and his team fails to execute. In the closing seconds of the Georgia loss last year, I thought seriously that he’d blow a gasket. When he stormed onto the field, shouting at the opposing sidelines during the bowl game against Georgia Tech, I fully expected fisticuffs to follow.
The fraternity of recent Wildcat football coaches hasn’t really been rife with outwardly demonstrative characters. Joker Phillips often appeared comatose on the sidelines and unfortunately his team usually reflected his demeanor. I don’t remember Guy Morriss being much more animated either. Bill Curry was just one notch above the walking dead while Hal Mumme was more flakey than exuberant. Rich Brooks and Jerry Claiborne would occasionally let loose, but in a grandfatherly kind of way. Fran Curci reminded me of a mafia don—too cool to mess with on the field of play.
The interesting thing is that as temperamental as Stoops appears on the sidelines, he’s completely different when he’s away from the football field. I’ve seen him at charity events and social functions and he’s as relaxed as my newly permed hair. You won’t see him stomping around the neighborhood kicking yard signs and scaring toddlers. When he’s around friends and family, he appears to be just another normal dude. Heck, I’ve even seen him shooting hoops with his sons and cuddling his puppy.
Take some poise, execution, and discipline, and mix in a heaping helping of passion, emotion, and fire—and you’ve got the ingredients for a winning football coach. Now toss in a generous serving of humility and a big dose of accountability just for good measure. That’s Mark Stoops, and that’s why I like him.
