LeBron heads west — now what for the Pacers?

Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James, 2018 NBA Playoffs

LAS VEGAS — The best thing to happen to the Pacers during NBA free agency was something they could not control. LeBron James choosing to play in the Western Conference, for the Los Angeles Lakers, makes the East a wide-open race.

For the Pacers, that means a LeBron-led team cannot eliminate them from postseason play, which has been the case in five of the last seven seasons, including two in a row. The Pacers were the better team in round one, but the other team had James — a three-time NBA Champion, three-time MVP, and 14-time All-Star.

‘It’s tough,” Larry Bird said on his final day as team president in 2017. “LeBron James is, no doubt, one of the greatest. I don’t think he’s Michael Jordan but you can put him up there close to him. He’s a dominant player. In our series, he made a difference every game.”

Boston is prohibitive favorite having won 55 games during the 2017-18 season without All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward due to injury. And they’re coached by one of the great minds in the game, Indiana’s own Brad Stevens. He finished third in Coach of the Year voting behind Dwane Casey and Quinn Snyder. (Nate McMillan finished sixth.)

Toronto had its best season ever, winning 59 games, but it was no match for LeBron’s Cavs. The Raptors were swept and lost by an average of 14 points per game, mostly because of a 35-point Game 1 loss.

After LeBron’s quiet announcement that he was bound for the Lakers, many basketball betting sites immediately shifted the Lakers’ odds, placing them right below the Warriors, who’ve won it all in three of the last four seasons. Oh, and they just added All-NBA center DeMarcus Cousins.

Something to keep in mind: Odds aren’t what the sportsbooks believe is going to happen, but rather are an indication of money being bet. Walking around Las Vegas for the last week, that’s something that has caught my eye. Although the books are rather quiet this month because only the World Cup is being played.

The Pacers worked quickly in free agency to bolster their bench after each of their top six players in terms of scoring, plus Cory  Joseph, would return for another year together. Pacers President Kevin Pritchard has been in professional basketball since 1990, a second-round selection (34th) by Golden State, and he has shared on the record that this was the “funnest team” that he has ever been around. The chemistry, while unexpected, was special and memorable.

While other teams in the East must work to integrate new players, the Pacers’ core remains the same. And we saw the value in continuity with the Pacers in 2013, when they sprinted out to a 33-7 start to the season.

The addition of Tyreke Evans, on a one-year deal, gives the Pacers another guard who can create on his own. Doug McDermott’s shooting should open up the floor and force defenders out of the paint.

“If y’all don’t respect the Indiana Pacers now, I have no respect for you,” Oladipo said after their game seven playoff loss. “And that’s just how I feel. Nobody thought we were going to be here. No one. Not one person, but us in the locker room. I feel like we’ve earned our respect from everyone.”

With LeBron out of the east, the conference will have a new representative in the NBA Finals for the first time since … wait for it … 2010! The Lakers won their 16th title by beating the Boston Celtics in seven games. Ever since LeBron has sat on the thrown in the east.

Odds to win the 2019 NBA Title:

Warriors +110
Lakers +325
Celtics +400
76ers +600
Pacers +8000

Classic Coastal Walking on Tenerife, to the Hidden Beaches

The truth is that in the past couple of months we haven’t managed to walk a lot on Tenerife. We’ve explored secret lakes on La Gomera, trekked to cheese-making shepherds’ cottages in the Picos de Europa in Asturias, explored coastal paths leading to sandy coves in Costa Brava and spent days hiking through the dry volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote…so Tenerife has taken a back seat.

In between exploring pastures new we did manage to get in one coastal walk on Tenerife. It was pretty essential preparation for four days of walking on Lanzarote as the world beating cuisine we’d eaten in Costa Brava had expanded bellies to stomach bursting proportions.

There are plans to create a coastal path that links much of the north west coast of Tenerife but for the moment walkers can only experience individual sections. We’re fortunate enough to have one of the nicest outside our front door.

We’ve written a number of times about routes through the banana plantations; however, the reality is that there are so many different paths that you could fill a walking guidebook trying to describe them all. Each offers something different, little things that illustrate the character and soul that is part of what we call the real Tenerife.

Our last route took us through the small hamlet at Rechazos where every Sunday evening a handful of local women gather to play a very community oriented version of bingo – eyes stayed down as we passed by as mouths whispered hola & adios whilst trying not lose concentration.

Along the way huge presas Canarias (mastiffs) livened up their day by barking furiously, their wagging bottoms betraying that it was all just a bit of fun.

For a change from our normal route we followed a direct route to Playa Ancon (the signpost that points the way down the easy-to-overlook track had mysteriously disappeared since the last time we passed). A narrow track wound downwards to the coast, passing small cottages with bleached woodwork window and door frames and peeling plaster walls decorated by the shadows of palm trees that added a distinctly Caribbean aspect.

Behind us Mount Teide, still with a spattering of snow on its northern face, reminded us why this valley is quite an incredible place to live. Eventually we reached a road that linked our path with the main route towards Playa Bollullo and Playa de los Patos – two of the trio of beaches that make up three of the most spectacular beaches on Tenerife.

There’s a curious thing about these three beaches that only people who visit them will discover. It’s almost impossible to access all three from the one point even though they lie in a row. To reach Playa Bollullo, the most developed of the three as it has a bar and a toilet (of sorts), you follow one path. It’s no stroll in the park if you’re not fit as it snakes down the cliff (okay on the way down, more taxing on the return trip). To reach Playa de los Patos involves more of a scrabble along the same path above Bollullo followed by a quite nervy descent to the long sweeping beach.

To reach the third, Playa del Ancón, involves going a different route altogether as it’s separated from Playa de los Patos by near vertical cliffs. The path we followed led us to what seems like a dead end at a metal gate to one of the plantations, but the narrowest of entrances to the left of the gate descends steeply between the banana plants to a viewpoint and path teasingly located above Playa de los Patos. I say teasingly because the cliff top path runs three quarters of the length of this lovely long beach and yet there’s no way of getting to it…except maybe by abseiling.

Our goal lay at the very end of the path, Playa del Ancón, hidden from view and unseen by most visitors and residents because of the effort required to find it.

As the low evening sun turned the sea silver we basked in its rays listening to the soothing sound of the surf crashing against the sand of this natural hidden beauty spot. It would have been exquisitely relaxing apart from one thing…the return trip had to be done and, to paraphrase the words of the song, the only way was up.

Still, it sorted out the leg muscles for the Lanzarote trip.

To experience the best of walking on Tenerife why not try our walking guides.

Ten of the best hikes on Tenerife

Recently I spotted a blog post about the best hikes on Tenerife. It occurred to me that, apart from in an appendix in our Walk this Way Tenerife hiking guidebook, we’ve never actually listed what we consider to be the best hikes on Tenerife.

Stating ‘the best’ of anything is purely a subjective business. On Tenerife it’s particularly difficult to choose between walking routes as there’s such a diversity of scenery and terrain (forests, coastal routes, volcanic badlands, desert, verdant valleys, deep ravines) that pitting them against each other isn’t comparing like with like. We have many favourites, but there are some which stand out more than others because they’re full of the ingredients we expect from a great hike.

Without further ado, these are our pick of ten of the best hikes on Tenerife, and why they’ve made it onto our top ten list.

Looking down on Teide National Park, Altavista Refuge, Tenerife

Climbing Mount Teide (10km), Teide National Park
It’s unique, simple as that. Climbing from Montaña Blanca to the summit of Mount Teide earns you the right to boast you’ve conquered Spain’s highest mountain. It’s not long, but the sparseness of air adds to the difficulty level. After many, many hiking experiences in various countries, watching sunrise from the freezing summit of Mount Teide remains one of the most exhilarating travel experiences we’ve had.

Afur route, Anaga, Tenerife

Afur to Taganana (13km), Anaga
We could pick from any number of routes in Anaga as it is our favourite area for walking on Tenerife. The first time we tackled the Afur-Taganana route was under gloomy skies. It didn’t register just how exceptional a route it was until our next time walking it when the sun’s rays filled that rugged Anaga coastline with colour. It’s remote, and the scenery is staggering – lush slopes, jagged peaks, white-washed villages in deep ravines, gurgling streams, ponds filled with singing frogs, lonely vineyards. It’s a route to make the soul soar.

Walking in Masca Barranco, Tenerife

Masca Barranco (6km), Buenavista del Norte
Yes, it’s still closed (Jan 2020), but it will open again. Summer 2020 is now the estimated date, although you never know with Tenerife. Masca might have been one of the busiest walking routes on Tenerife (that should change when it reopens – at least one upside) but it is another quite unique experience. A seasoned walker friend described it as more of an adventure trail than a walking route due to the need to scrabble down boulders, negotiate rock tunnels, balance on stepping stones across pools etc. It might lose some of that character after it’s been ‘made safer’, but it should still be a memorably atmospheric ravine walk.

Roques de Garcia, Teide National Park, Tenerife

Roques de Garcia (4km), Teide National Park
It’s short and near one of the busiest car parks you’ll find on Tenerife, yet the Roques de Garcia circuit isn’t particularly busy. The misshapen volcanic rock formations may look impressive from the coach-filled car park; however, from the Ucanca Plains level they are especially ancient and other-worldly in appearance; the best examples of twisted volcanic pinnacles you’ll find in the park. Plus there’s the imposing Cathedral which is sort of anonymous from car park level. There’s also a wheelchair-friendly route at Roques de Garcia.

Rock gate, Orotava Valley, Tenerife

Los Órganos (12km), La Orotava
This was the first decent-length walk we undertook on Tenerife and it remains a favourite. Victorian adventurers waxed lyrical about the Orotava Valley and the Órganos route illustrates why – a dense forest of pines sweeps across the valley to the base of Mount Teide, looming over the north like a giant. When the mar de nubes settles in just below Aguamansa, the more developed lower valley is totally obscured, creating a virgin landscape and a scene which is no different from the one travellers in other centuries wrote about.

Montana Guajara, Teide National Park, Tenerife

Montaña Guajara (11km), Teide National Park
In some ways ascending Montaña Guajara is better than climbing Mount Teide because the panorama from its summit includes the park’s centrepiece. But Guajara isn’t just about elevated views of El Teide, it’s a superb route in its own right; the path along Siete Cañadas climbing to the crater ridge where the slopes fall away toward the south east and the Atlantic, so you have contrasting views of inside and outside Teide National Park. The route was enhanced a couple of years ago when the authorities improved the path descending to the crater from the southern side of Guajara – it’s a spectacular return to crater level.

Teno Alto route, Teno Rural Park, Tenerife

El Palmar to Teno Alto (11km), Teno Rural Park
Almost the perfect walking route according to one of our friends at Inntravel in the UK after we took him on it. We wouldn’t argue with that description. It has everything we want from a walking route – epic scenery; quirks; mountain hamlets and valley villages, goat-trail paths above a shimmering sea; profusions of wild flowers in spring; a ‘you can’t be serious’ moment when the path seems to simply disappear at a knife-edge ridge; and mouth-burning cheese.

Walking to the Parador, Teide National Park, Tenerife

Vilaflor to the Parador (16km), Vilaflor and Teide National Park
This is one we pieced together for an Inntravel walking holiday starting in the south of Tenerife, designed to take customers from their hotel in Vilaflor to the Parador Cañadas del Teide via pine forest and the crater ridge. It has the most punch-in-the-gut pay-off of any walking route we’ve walked anywhere. I wrote about it recently as we consider it to be the best walking experience we’ve had on Tenerife. It’s not included in our own walking routes as it isn’t an easy one to do unless someone else is transporting your luggage from Vilaflor to the Parador.

Erjos Pools, Los Silos, Tenerife

Erjos Pools (6km), Los Silos
Short and sweet and included because walkers get to experience a sense of walking in ancient laurel forest without having too put in too much effort, the views are exceptional, and the Erjos Pools are a curio on Tenerife – great for birdwatchers and a good place to watch electrifying dragonflies. It’s our favourite short walk on Tenerife.

Toiling in the terraces, Anaga, Tenerife

Cruz del Carmen to Chinamada (13km), Anaga
We love this walk and would happily walk it over and over and over. It’s one of the more accessible Anaga walking routes; although, nowhere in Anaga is walk in the park easy – there’s still a 400m ascent/descent to tackle. It’s a trail which showcases why we rave about walking in Anaga – the misty, atmospheric forest opening out to reveal terraced slopes and plunging abyss after plunging abyss before the path reaches the halfway point at a troglodyte village. The return route includes views across one of my favourite landscapes on Tenerife which, if you walk it when the terraces are being worked, illustrates exactly why we named this route ‘Stepping back in time.’

Apart from Vilaflor to the Parador, all the walking routes mentioned above are included in our Real Tenerife Island Walks sets. Click here for more information about them.

  1. Hi Jack, I am really enjoying your site and learning a lot about Tenerife. We will be visiting in February for a month.

    We love to hike but I have an extreme fear of heights and do not want to be walking on cliff edges. Which hikes should I stay away from.

    I will be ok in a car, not great but I can handle it a bit better than walking on the edges.

  2. That’s a big question Dena. The problem with advising about hikes which are vertiginous or not is that different people have varying levels of vertigo. We’ve discovered over the years that trying to say which hikes might cause problems is impossible because of this. But, generally speaking and because of the nature of the terrain, walking in the western Canary Islands could be problematic for anyone with a serious fear of heights as the landscapes are rugged, mountainous, and many trails are on narrow goat tracks (one of the things we’ve learned is the wider the track, the less risk of vertigo).
    Saying that, there still should be enough walks for you to enjoy. Teide National Park alone has routes where there are no drops. We list what we consider to be the most vertiginous routes in our Walk this Way Tenerife guidebook.

How the war of words was won in Cairo

Ben Zimmer writes:

How do you tell a dictator to get lost?

The answer, in Egypt, was with poetry, tech lingo, hieroglyphics and more.

For weeks, in Tahrir Square and elsewhere, demonstrators were telling President Hosni Mubarak to leave, playfully using a variety of dialects and languages to get the idea across.

And on Friday, Mr. Mubarak finally got the message and resigned.

In countries under authoritarian rule, “speaking truth to power” typically takes the form of highly colorful and creative modes of expression. Playing with language is often one of the few ways to challenge an oppressive political system, and the pointed humor behind the linguistic ingenuity can create strong bonds of solidarity.

Indeed, there are strong parallels in the fall of Ceausescu in Romania or Suharto in Indonesia. Indonesian activists in the 1990s, for instance, turned their president’s name into a snarky acronym: “sudah harus tobat” (“should have repented by now”).

On their own protest signs, Egyptian wordsmiths transliterated “irhal,” the standard Arabic imperative for “depart,” into Egyptian hieroglyphics so that “the pharaoh” would understand. And a popular rhyming chant on Tahrir Square played with high and low forms of Arabic, explaining to Mr. Mubarak that “irhal” means “imshi,” a colloquial Egyptian word that might be best rendered in English as “beat it.”

Convicted Bahraini doctors, nurses urge U.N. to investigate their protest-linked jail sentences

The Associated Press reports:

Bahraini doctors and nurses convicted of links to anti-government protests and sentenced to long prison terms appealed to the U.N. chief Saturday to investigate their claims of abuse and judicial violations in the trial.

The medical professionals — whose sentences range from five to 15 years — are appealing the security court’s ruling and speaking out against the wider crackdown by the Gulf kingdom’s Sunni rulers against protests for greater rights by the Shiite majority.

The trial has been closely watched by rights groups that have criticized Bahrain’s prosecution of civilians at the special security court, which was set up under martial law-style rule that was lifted in June. The U.N. human rights office and the U.S. State Department are among those questioning the use of the court, which has military prosecutors and both civilian and military judges.

The doctors and nurses worked at the state-run Salmaniya Medical Center close to the capital’s Pearl Square, which became the epicenter of Bahrain’s uprising, inspired by other revolts across the Arab world. The authorities saw the hospital’s mostly Shiite staff — some of whom participated in pro-democracy street marches — as protest sympathizers, although the medics claimed they treated all who needed care.

“During the times of unrest in Bahrain, we honored our medical oath to treat the wounded and save lives. And as a result, we are being rewarded with unjust and harsh sentences,” said a statement released by the medics after the court’s ruling.

The group was convicted Thursday on charges that include attempting to topple the Gulf kingdom’s rulers and spreading “fabricated” stories. In a separate trial, the security court sentenced a protester to death for the killing of a police officer during the clashes that began in February.

Pembrokeshire is a fantastic holiday destination: it enjoys the UK's only coastal national park, with the famous Pembrokeshire Coastal Footpath (186 miles); and there are many miles of beautiful beaches, dramatic cliffs, the wildlife islands of Skomer and Ramsey; Norman castles that split the Welsh northern half of the county from the English "down below"; and the historic St Davids Cathedral and Bishops Palace.

Whitesands Cottages are all located on the western tip of the St Davids peninsula, next to the beach, surrounded by some of the most unspoilt countryside and coast in the national park.

Removing the Propeller Shaft

From Westerly-Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Remove the rudder on lift out or after lift out by digging a clearance hole underneath the rudder.

Shaft fouls rudder

Remove the propeller and cutless bearing and unbolt the gearbox coupling. In addition to four bolts there may be a set screw through the side of the coupler. If a clamp type of coupler is used inserting a wedge into the split of the clamp and tapping the wedge with a hammer will slide the coupler off the shaft allowing the shaft to be completely withdrawn for inspection.

Clamp removal

If a lip seal is fitted great care must be taken not to damage the lips whilst removing the prop shaft.

Samuel Benjamin Harris (born April 9, 1967[citation needed]) is an American author, philosopher, neuroscientist, and podcast host. His work touches on a wide range of topics, including rationality, religion, ethics, free will, neuroscience, meditation, psychedelics, philosophy of mind, politics, terrorism, and artificial intelligence. Harris came to prominence for his criticism of religion, and Islam in particular, and is described as one of the "Four Horsemen of Atheism", along with Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett.[3][4][5]

Harris's first book, The End of Faith (2004), won the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction and remained on The New York Times Best Seller list for 33 weeks. Harris has subsequently published six other books: Letter to a Christian Nation in 2006, The Moral Landscape: How Science Could Determine Human Values in 2010, the long-form essay Lying in 2011, the short book Free Will in 2012, Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion in 2014, and (with British writer Maajid Nawaz) Islam and the Future of Tolerance: A Dialogue in 2015. Harris's work has been translated into over 20 languages.

Harris has debated with many prominent figures on the topics of God or religion, including William Lane Craig, Jordan Peterson, Rick Warren, Andrew Sullivan, Reza Aslan, David Wolpe, Deepak Chopra, and Jean Houston. Since September 2013, Harris has hosted the Making Sense podcast (originally titled Waking Up), which has a large listenership. In September 2018 Harris released a meditation app, Waking Up with Sam Harris.

Early life and education[edit]

Harris was born on April 9, 1967 in Los Angeles.[6] He is the son of actor Berkeley Harris, who appeared mainly in Western films, and TV writer and producer Susan Harris (née Spivak), who created The Golden Girls among other series.[7] His father, born in North Carolina, came from a Quaker background, and his mother is Jewish but not religious.[8] He was raised by his mother following his parents' divorce when he was aged two.[9] Harris has stated that his upbringing was entirely secular and that his parents rarely discussed religion, though he also stated that he was not raised as an atheist.[10]

While his original major was in English, Harris became interested in philosophical questions while at Stanford University after an experience with the empathogen–entactogen MDMA (colloquially known as ecstasy).[11][12][13] The experience led him to be interested in the idea that he might be able to achieve spiritual insights without the use of drugs.[14] Leaving Stanford in his second year, a quarter after his psychedelic experience, he went to India and Nepal, where he studied meditation with teachers of Buddhist and Hindu religions,[14][15] including Dilgo Khyentse.[16] Eleven years later, in 1997, he returned to Stanford, completing a B.A. degree in philosophy in 2000.[17][18][19] Harris began writing his first book, The End of Faith, immediately after the September 11 attacks.[17]

He received a Ph.D. degree in cognitive neuroscience in 2009 from the University of California, Los Angeles,[17][20][21] using functional magnetic resonance imaging to conduct research into the neural basis of belief, disbelief, and uncertainty.[17][21] His thesis was titled The Moral Landscape: How Science Could Determine Human Values. His advisor was Mark S. Cohen.[22]

Harris's writing focuses on philosophy, neuroscience, and criticism of religion. He came to prominence for his criticism of religion (Islam in particular) and is described as one of the "Four Horsemen of Atheism", along with Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett.[3][4] He has written for a variety of outlets including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Economist, The Times, The Boston Globe, and The Atlantic.[23] Five of Harris's books have been New York Times bestsellers, and his writing has been translated into over 20 languages.[23] The End of Faith (2004) remained on The New York Times Best Seller list for 33 weeks.[24]

Debates on religion[edit]

In 2007, Harris engaged in a lengthy debate with conservative commentator Andrew Sullivan on the Internet forum Beliefnet.[25] In April 2007, Harris debated with evangelical pastor Rick Warren for Newsweek magazine.[26] Harris also debated with Rabbi David Wolpe in 2007.[27] In 2010, Harris joined Michael Shermer to debate with Deepak Chopra and Jean Houston on the future of God in a debate hosted by ABC News Nightline.[28] Harris debated with Christian philosopher William Lane Craig in April 2011 on whether there can be an objective morality without God.[29] In June and July 2018, he met with Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson for a series of debates on religion, particularly the relationship between religious values and scientific fact in defining truth.[30][31] Harris has also debated with the scholar Reza Aslan.[32]

In September 2013, Harris began releasing the Waking Up podcast (since re-titled Making Sense). Episodes vary in length but often last over two hours.[33] Releases do not follow a regular schedule.[34] The podcast has a large listenership.[35][36][37]

Meditation app[edit]

In September 2018, Harris released a meditation course app, Waking Up with Sam Harris. The app provides daily meditations, long guided meditations, and a selection of other lessons on various related topics. Users of the app are introduced to a number of types of meditation, such as mindfulness meditation, vipassanā-style meditation, and loving-kindness meditation.[38]

In September 2020, Harris announced his commitment to donate a least 10% of Waking Up's profits to highly effective charities,[39] thus becoming the first company to sign the Giving What We Can pledge for companies.[40] The pledge was done retroactively, taking into account the profits since the day the app launched 2 years ago.[39]

Harris is known as one of the most prominent critics of religion, and is a leading figure in the New Atheist movement. Harris is particularly opposed to dogmatic belief, and says that "Pretending to know things one doesn't know is a betrayal of science – and yet it is the lifeblood of religion."[41] While broadly opposed to religion in general and the belief systems religions entail, Harris believes that all religions are not created equal.[42] Often using Jainism to contrast other fundamentalist groups, Harris highlights the difference in the specific doctrine and scripture as the main indicator of a religion's value, or lack thereof.[43]

Harris speaking in 2010 at TED

While broadly critical of religion in most forms, Harris considers Islam to be "especially belligerent and inimical to the norms of civil discourse", insofar as it involves what Harris considers to be "bad ideas, held for bad reasons, leading to bad behavior."[44] Harris is especially critical of mainstream support of Islam as a religion of peace, and describes Islam as "all fringe and no center."[45]

Harris is critical of the Christian right in politics in the United States, blaming them for the political focus on "pseudo-problems like gay marriage."[46] He is also critical of liberal Christianity—as represented, for instance, by the theology of Paul Tillich—which he argues claims to base its beliefs on the Bible despite actually being influenced by secular modernity. He further states that in so doing liberal Christianity provides rhetorical cover to fundamentalists.[46]

Harris holds that there is "nothing irrational about seeking the states of mind that lie at the core of many religions. Compassion, awe, devotion, and feelings of oneness are surely among the most valuable experiences a person can have."[14]

Harris rejects the dichotomy between spirituality and rationality, favoring a middle path that preserves spirituality and science but does not involve religion.[47] He writes that spirituality should be understood in light of scientific disciplines like neuroscience and psychology.[47] Science, he contends, can show how to maximize human well-being, but may fail to answer certain questions about the nature of being, answers to some of which he says are discoverable directly through our experience.[47] His conception of spirituality does not involve a belief in any god.[48]

In Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion (2014), Harris describes his experience with Dzogchen, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice, and recommends it to his readers.[47] He writes that the purpose of spirituality (as he defines it – he concedes that the term’s uses are diverse and sometimes indefensible) is to become aware that our sense of self is illusory, and says this realization brings both happiness and insight into the nature of consciousness.[47][49] This process of realization, he argues, is based on experience and is not contingent on faith.[47]

Science and morality[edit]

In The Moral Landscape, Harris argues that science answers moral problems and can aid human well-being.[50]

Free will[edit]

Harris says the idea of free will "cannot be mapped on to any conceivable reality" and is incoherent.[2] Harris writes in Free Will that neuroscience "reveals you to be a biochemical puppet."[51]

Social and political views[edit]

Harris describes himself as a liberal, and states that he supports raising taxes on the very wealthy, decriminalizing drugs and legalizing same-sex marriage. He was critical of the Bush administration's war in Iraq, fiscal policy, and treatment of science. However, he also believes liberals dangerously downplay the threat posed by Islamic fundamentalism.[52] He is a registered Democrat.[53]

During the 2016 United States presidential election, Harris supported Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Party presidential primaries against Bernie Sanders,[54] and despite calling her "a terribly flawed candidate for the presidency," he favored her in the general election and came out strongly in opposition to Donald Trump's candidacy.[55][35] Harris has criticized Trump for lying, stating in 2018 that Trump "has assaulted truth more than anyone in human history."[35]

Artificial intelligence[edit]

Harris has discussed existential risk from artificial general intelligence in depth.[56] He has given a TED talk on the topic, arguing it will be a major threat in the future and criticizing the paucity of human interest on the subject.[57] He argues the dangers from artificial intelligence (AI) follow from three premises: that intelligence is the result of physical information processing, that humans will continue innovation in AI, and that humans are nowhere near the maximum possible extent of intelligence.[57] Harris states that even if superintelligent AI is five to ten decades away, the scale of its implications for human civilization warrant discussion of the issue in the present.[57]

Reception of Harris's ideas has spanned a range of topics and come from a variety of journalistic and academic sources.

Harris's first two books, in which he lays out his criticisms of religion, received negative reviews from Christian scholars.[46][58][59] From secular sources, the books received a mixture of negative reviews[60][61][62] and positive reviews.[63][64][65][66] In his review of The End of Faith, American historian Alexander Saxton criticized what he called Harris's "vitriolic and selective polemic against Islam," (emphasis in original) which he said "obscure[s] the obvious reality that the invasion of Iraq and the War against Terror are driven by religious irrationalities, cultivated and conceded to, at high policy levels in the U.S., and which are at least comparable to the irrationality of Islamic crusaders and Jihadists."[60] By contrast, Stephanie Merritt wrote of the same book that Harris's "central argument in The End of Faith is sound: religion is the only area of human knowledge in which it is still acceptable to hold beliefs dating from antiquity and a modern society should subject those beliefs to the same principles that govern scientific, medical or geographical inquiry - particularly if they are inherently hostile to those with different ideas."[63]

Harris's next two books, which discuss philosophical issues relating to ethics and free will, received several negative academic reviews.[67][68][69][70][71][72] In his review of The Moral Landscape, neuroscientist Kenan Malik criticized Harris for not engaging adequately with philosophical literature: "Imagine a sociologist who wrote about evolutionary theory without discussing the work of Darwin, Fisher, Mayr, Hamilton, Trivers or Dawkins on the grounds that he did not come to his conclusions by reading about biology and because discussing concepts such as 'adaptation', 'speciation', 'homology', 'phylogenetics' or 'kin selection' would 'increase the amount of boredom in the universe'. How seriously would we, and should we, take his argument?"[70] Philosopher Daniel Dennett argued that Harris's book Free Will successfully refuted the common understanding of free will, but that he failed to respond adequately to the compatibilist understanding of free will. Dennett said the book was valuable because it expressed the views of many eminent scientists, but that it nonetheless contained a "veritable museum of mistakes" and that "Harris and others need to do their homework if they want to engage with the best thought on the topic."[73] On the other hand, The Moral Landscape received a largely positive review from psychologists James Diller and Andrew Nuzzolilli.[74] Additionally Free Will received a mixed academic review from philosopher Paul Pardi who acknowledged that while it suffers from some conceptual confusions and that the core argument is a bit too 'breezy', it serves as a "good primer on key ideas in physicalist theories of freedom and the will".[75]

Harris's book on spirituality and meditation received mainly positive reviews[76][77][47][49] as well as some mixed reviews.[78][48] It was praised by Frank Bruni, for example, who described it as "so entirely of this moment, so keenly in touch with the growing number of Americans who are willing to say that they do not find the succor they crave, or a truth that makes sense to them, in organized religion."[76]

Harris has been accused of Islamophobia by journalist Glenn Greenwald and linguist and political commentator Noam Chomsky.[79][80] Greenwald claimed that Harris's Islamophobia is revealed by his statements such as: "the people who speak most sensibly about the threat that Islam poses to Europe are actually fascists," and "[t]he only future devout Muslims can envisage — as Muslims — is one in which all infidels have been converted to Islam, politically subjugated, or killed."[79] After Harris and Chomsky exchanged a series of emails on terrorism and U.S. foreign policy in 2015, Chomsky said Harris had not prepared adequately for the exchange and that this revealed his work as unserious.[81] Kyle Schmidlin also wrote in Salon that he considered Chomsky the winner of the exchange because Harris's arguments relied excessively on thought experiments with little application to the real world.[81] In a 2016 interview with Al Jazeera, Chomsky further criticized Harris, saying he "specializes in hysterical, slanderous charges against people he doesn’t like."[80]

Harris has argued that his views on this and other topics are frequently misrepresented by critics and has accused some of his critics of deliberately taking quotes out of context.[82] He has also criticized the way the term Islamophobia is commonly used.[83] "My criticism of Islam is a criticism of beliefs and their consequences, but my fellow liberals reflexively view it as an expression of intolerance toward people,"[84] he wrote following a disagreement with actor Ben Affleck in October 2014 on the show Real Time with Bill Maher. Affleck had described Harris's views on Muslims as "gross" and "racist," and his statement that "Islam is the Mother lode of bad ideas" as an "ugly thing to say."[85][86] Several conservative American media pundits in turn praised Harris and host Bill Maher for broaching the topic, asserting that it had become taboo.[86]

Harris's dialogue on Islam with Maajid Nawaz received a combination of positive reviews[87][88][89] and mixed reviews.[90][91] Irshad Manji wrote: "Their back-and-forth clarifies multiple confusions that plague the public conversation about Islam." Of Harris specifically, she said "[he] is right that liberals must end their silence about the religious motives behind much Islamist terror. At the same time, he ought to call out another double standard that feeds the liberal reflex to excuse Islamists: Atheists do not make nearly enough noise about hatred toward Muslims."[91]

In April 2017, Harris stirred controversy by hosting the social scientist Charles Murray on his podcast, discussing topics including the heritability of IQ and race and intelligence.[92] Harris stated the invitation was out of indignation at a violent protest against Murray at Middlebury College the month before and not out of particular interest in the material at hand.[92] The podcast episode garnered significant criticism, for instance from Vox[37][93] and Slate.[94] Harris and Murray were defended by conservative commentators Andrew Sullivan[95] and Kyle Smith,[96] as well as by neuroscientist Richard Haier, who stated that the points Murray claimed were mainstream indeed enjoyed broad scientific support.[97] Harris and Vox editor-at-large Ezra Klein later discussed the affair in a podcast interview,[98] where Klein criticized Harris for rebuking tribalism in the form of identity politics while failing to recognize his own version of tribalism.[99] Hatewatch staff at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) wrote that members of the "skeptics" movement, of which Harris is "one of the most public faces," help to "channel people into the alt-right."[100] Bari Weiss wrote that the SPLC had misrepresented Harris's views.[35]

Harris was profiled by Weiss in The New York Times as part of the "Intellectual Dark Web" (a term coined semi-ironically by Eric Weinstein). She described the group as "a collection of iconoclastic thinkers, academic renegades and media personalities who are having a rolling conversation — on podcasts, YouTube and Twitter, and in sold-out auditoriums — that sound unlike anything else happening, at least publicly, in the culture right now."[35]

In 2018, Robert Wright published an article in Wired criticizing Harris for his perceived ignorance of his own cognitive biases. He wrote that "the famous proponent of New Atheism is on a crusade against tribalism but seems oblivious to his own version of it." Wright wrote that these biases are rooted in natural selection and impact everyone, but that they can be mitigated when acknowledged, whereas he said Harris offered no such acknowledgement.[99]

The UK Business Insider included Harris's podcast in their list of "8 podcasts that will change how you think about human behavior" in 2017,[101] and PC Magazine included it in their list of "The Best Podcasts of 2018."[102] In January 2020, Max Sanderson included Harris's podcast as a "Producer pick" in a "podcasts of the week" section for The Guardian.[33]

Harris's first book, The End of Faith (2004), won the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction.[103]

The Waking Up podcast won the 2017 Webby Award for "People's Voice" in the category "Science & Education" under "Podcasts & Digital Audio".[104]

Harris was included on a list of the "100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People 2019" in the Watkins Review, a publication of Watkins Books, a London esoterica bookshop.[105]

Personal life[edit]

Harris is a martial arts student and practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu.[106][107]

Harris has been reluctant to discuss personal details such as where he now lives, citing security reasons.[108] In 2004, he married Annaka Harris, an author and editor of nonfiction and scientific books.[109] They have two daughters.[110][111]

In September 2020, Harris became a member of Giving What We Can, an effective altruism organization whose members pledge to give at least 10% of their income to effective charities, both as an individual and as a company with Waking Up.[40][39]

Missing in the Movement

Missing in the Movement
By Riaz Ahmed

Bol TV’s Aamir Liaquat recently attacked protesters and supporters of January 19 Karachi demonstration for Dr Salman Haider, four bloggers and all missing persons. Liaquat has branded Sheema Kirmani, Asad Butt, Zehra Khan and others for supporting the ‘blasphemous bloggers’. This attack has stunned the civil society. There is a real threat that the verbal attack will be picked up by some fanatics and the named people may be physically harmed. Pakistani media has certainly touched a new low.
Attacks on civil society have not been new. The bravest of them, Sabeen Mehmood, was murdered soon after she hosted a talk on Baloch missing persons last year on April 23. A year earlier a profound social sector activist Perveen Rehman was murdered in cold blood just outside her project office in renowned slum area of Orangi Town, Parveen was known for her work on regularization of village areas eyed by property tycoons. A whole host of other activists, lawyers, journalists have been attacked, maimed, forced to seek asylum or murdered for exposing violation of fundamental rights of the suppressed or for advocating their cause. Its not a matter of state institutions like military or police agencies only that they violate human rights. There are many on the loose, set loose and harboured militant outfits of various shades that outsmart state institutions to create chaos and confusion.
Aamir Liaqat’s attack should therefore not be seen merely as a conspiracy. Similar to Islamist outfits looking for opportunities in the form of sectarian killings, attacks on minorities and exploitation of laws against the weak, other institutions are seeking to optimize on attacking the vulnerable. A whole host of TV channels are daily attacking the lower-middle class in their quest to portray crime as something committed singularly by the powerless. Likewise, Aamir Liaquat has attacked the liberal-left as it appeared vulnerable in defending Salman and other bloggers. No doubt certain agencies are working 24hours behind the scenes on social media to create mischief against anyone challenging the state. Mere criticism of military operations on Balochistan, Pushtoonkhwa, Sindh, Karachi, Shia Genocide or mobilization of state-sponsered jihadi outfits are all considered threats to national security. Channels like BOL by picking on the vulnerable are maximizing their appeal towards the lower and middle class segments in a quest to become mainstream.
On the one hand portraying the attacks on Shias as Iran-Saudi conflict, use of discriminatory laws as protection of religious values, labeling those challenging mega projects like CPEC as Indian agents, justifying disappearances in the name of blasphemy and above all justifying military operations in the name of threats to the state and people has increased manifold in past few years. On the other the disappearance of Wahid Baloch, a writer and publisher of repute, followed by a small but effective movement by the liberal-left in Karachi, Hyderabad and Lahore and largely on social media led not only to the release of Wahid but gave a good boost to the otherwise ‘bound to disappear movements for the disappeared’, as it has happened in the past 12 years.
A young generation of activists, otherwise limited to the social media, led by artists, rights activists, committed leftists has taken great inspiration from the Wahid Baloch campaign. It is this confidence that is unbearable for the state and government institutions involved in disappearances of men and women form a whole cross section of the society. They fear a broader, mass movement involving youth, political and social activists. The letting loose of Aamir Liaquat therefore must be seen in the context of the mixture of state interests converging with a hate campaign of an otherwise shady isolated news channel.
Activists like Wahid, Salman and thousands are being missed because they are part of the movement against injustice. The movement for Baloch liberation continues largely because those in the movement never fail to express solidarity with the missing. Those in the movement for the recovery of missing persons one thing must be clear– there will be no movement without raising the issue of those missing from the movement. The state and non-state institutions will continue to attack the movement until it gives up the issue of the missing.
Since 2004 dissapperances have been challenged by the Baloch. Their movement demanding control of the resources split the nationalists in Balochistan. One section was brutally suppressed by the military. The other, like the National Party, Peoples Party and Muslim League, were coopted by the state through successive governments. This cooption was designed to weaken the movement, squeeze out those demanding political rights and clear the path towards greater projects like CPEC. But now Baloch are one example amongst the thousands missing across Pakistan. Therefore the heightened suppression has to be challenged by a greater movement of the suppressed, more united and more broad-based. At the moment this movement involves at its core the liberals, leftists and activists of various shades. It has to spread and embrace the marginalized Shias, brutally silenced Baloch, the missing of the missing Pushtoon, the horrified Sindhi speaking nationalists and the Urdu speaking families of the missing. There have been attempts in the past to divide the movement. A tragic expression of this was Dr Zafar Arif’s legal disappearance. The liberal-left was held back on this attack by the politics that sees Karachi from the vintage point of MQM. A broader movement for the missing persons therefore must not miss even a single person forcibly disappeared by the state and the government — missing the missing will divide the movement and this suits those behind enforced disappearances.
There is no doubt that there are various forces against peace and development in Pakistan. Many elements belonging to the commercial liberal segment influence the movement for the interests of their masters. However the liberal-left must ensure that the greater goals of the movement are not shrunk to suit the interests of vested interests. The more broader, democratic, all encompassing the movement the greater the chance that voices of the suppressed come out clear to impress upon the huge majority that is silenced by the noise created in the name of national interest and development.
All forms of protests, mobilization, propaganda and engagement must be used. Social media is a powerful medium and its use has allowed exchange of ideas amongst the lower middle to middle class youth. Its time we start thinking about moving towards campuses, forming missing person support groups via social media inside campuses, arranging speakers to speak at events in the campus, arranging relatives of the missing to speak to students so they get first hand details of their ordeal, and distributing leaflets and posters will add a real life touch to the otherwise shared, enjoyed and forgetten memes. On streets when attacked; at the workplaces and campuses in the meantime. In the end formation of a national coalition of activists for the missing persons should be able to give a greater call for protests. It will be at this stage that the society will appear to take sides more clearly and audience for the people like Aamir Liaquat will be limited to their core, the scope of state institutions involved in violations of human rights will then be limited enough to avoid alliances with the non-state actors.

Working group 1 (WG1) is dealing with both topics Economics and Marketing. The current board of WG1 doesn’t have any information on the organizers and activities of the period before 1985. In that year there was a (sub-) working group meeting in Zeist in the Netherlands. In 1986 Ole Winfridsson from Sweden became the chairman. In the 80s there were meetings in Paris and Brussels. The minutes of a meeting in Montreal in 1987 mentioned a 14th meeting of the working group. In 1989 there was a symposium combined with a WG meeting in Viborg in Denmark. At this symposium for the first time there was also attention for Information and Computer Technology (ICT) in the poultry sector. In the 90s WG1 had meetings during the European and world conferences. In 1997 WG1 organized a Symposium together with WG11 on knowledge transfer and extension. This symposium was held in Utrecht in The Netherlands. In 2004 Peter van Horne from The Netherlands became chairman and Alois Mettler from Switzerland was the secretary. The working group had a meeting at the WPC in Istanbul 2004 and at the EPC in Verona 2006 (this was the 21th meeting). From 2007 WG1 started organized a Round Table on Poultry Economics and Marketing. The first round table was held at the ITAVI institute in Paris in 2007 followed by Antwerp (2009), Barcelona (2011), Zollikofen (2013), Cambridge (2015) and The Hague (2017). At a round table the members have a discussion on actual topics in the Poultry sector directly related to Economics and Marketing. In recent years the working group combines the meeting with a public part with some invited speakers. This is organized in cooperation with the local WPSA branch.

At this moment the WG has around 23 members representing 14 countries. The WG plans to hold meetings during the EPC and WPC and, in the years between, organize a round table

Filming Rodney King’s Beating Ruined His Life

Shortly before 1 a.m. on Sunday, March 3, 1991, 25 years ago, the squeal of sirens and the buzz of helicopters woke George Holliday, the 31-year-old owner of a small plumbing company, living in suburban Lakeview Terrace in the San Fernando Valley, within Los Angeles. From his terrace, he saw Los Angeles police officers beating a big black man. Grabbing his new Sony camcorder out of its original packaging, he taped the incident.

“Something happens between the weddings and the birthday parties—it’s called the rest of your life,” Sony’s commercial for the nifty new technology proclaimed. “That’s why we created America’s most popular camcorder, the Handycam.” Indeed, Holliday would say he bought the camera for “home stuff.” During the ’90s, America was becoming Surveillance Central, the most photographed nation ever, thanks to proliferating personal devices and institutional security cameras. Today, we are all George Holliday, armed with digital cameras embedded in our cell phones, ready to videotape history, not just “the rest of your life”—and post it widely.

By Monday morning, Holliday submitted to KTLA-TV what is arguably the most famous home movie since the Zapruder film.

Symposium announcement

Symposium program

Date: November 11-12, 2014
Venue: Hotel Sainthill Nagasaki
Official language: English

The objective of the symposium is to provide an opportunity to discuss research priority areas on human impacts on the oceans, in particular of Asian and Oceanian regions. The symposium consists of four sessions; “Critical ocean issues in Asia and Oceania”, “Impacts of ocean pollution in Asia and Oceania”, “Impacts of climate change on the oceans in Asia and Oceania”, and “Impacts of human activities on fisheries in Asia and Oceania”. In the afternoon of November 12, a special talk will be given on “How science communities could help secure marine ecosystem and fisheries production in Asian and Oceanian countries” (tentative) by a special guest from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).Oceans and their services mean much to Asian and Oceanian countries where the people rely heavily upon fish and shellfish as protein source, and the cultures are tightly linked with the oceans. It is therefore very unfortunate that some of these countries suffer from serious pollution problems of the coasts, and several are predicted to be highly vulnerable to future oceanic environmental alterations, such as climate
change. Nevertheless, not much effort has been given to project potential alterations of ocean environment and ecosystem, and consequent impacts on fishery production of the regions. Adaptation measures against negative human impacts require accurate understanding of how marine environment 1ill be affected, how marine ecosystem will respond, and how fishery production could be optimized under predicted conditions. Our goal is to identify the most pressing issues on the oceanic environment, ecosystem and fisheries of the regions, to contribute to elaborating adaptation measures, and thereby to help protect livelihood of the people living in the regions.
