BOJANA ŠALJIĆ PODEŠVA Bojana Šaljić Podešva, a composer of electroacoustic music, music for acoustic instruments, contemporary theatre, puppet theatre, film, and dance, is not only one of the few female makers in these areas, but also one of the few composers of electroacoustic music following the tradition of musique concrete in general in Slovenia. She is a member of the Society of Slovene Composers – Section for Electroacoustic Music and is, along Bor Turel, also one of the most visible representatives of this genre in Slovenia. Šaljić studied music in secondary schools in Maribor and Ljubljana and later at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana. Already during her studies, she was the recipient of many awards and scholarships, which brought her, among other, also to the Gaudeamus Music Week in Amsterdam. She completed her postgraduate studies in electroacoustic music in Vienna and later received many scholarships and attended numerous international residencies, for example, in Switzerland, Sweden, and France. Her work has been widely presented in international festivals and on home stages. Šaljić readily says about her work in electroacoustic music that it is committed to ‘allowing a certain Music to be born, music that wants to bring colour to a piece of this world. I find ways to do this by immersing myself into Sound that I form and which forms me, purely physically and with the energy it gives’. This slightly romantic aspect can be identified, for example, in the electroacoustic composition for accordion and magnetic tape ‘Meditation on Presence’, performed by the young accordionist Luka Juhart. ‘Meditation on Presence’ by Bojana Šaljić Podešva addresses us with a subtle fusion, intertwinement of live instrumental sound and electroacoustic sounds, which are blending into a soft sound language, in itself characterised as a meditation on presence, on that elusively intangible, unnameable tissue that binds us together in an inevitable gap between the subjects. This language is full of ‘unusual’ instrumentalist procedures, which pull the accordion away from its historical sound landscape and transform it into a sound object, on and over which sounds and noises are produced using different manoeuvres. Juhart, responsively and susceptibly ‘tracing the sound’, succeeded to bring out of this intertwinement a hidden, but shimmering emotive layer of the piece, which evasively radiates from the composition. And this quality is scarcely ever to be found in electroacoustic music. This insight can be attached to many Šaljić’s compositions, for example, to a more recent work, ‘So Close’, performed by Bojana Šaljić Podešva and a young saxophonist Maja Lisac. In 2006, Šaljić presented nine of her electroacoustic compositions from the period from 2000 to 2005 in an album ‘Welcome to the Dushaland’: some are rounded compositions; others originate from sound or multimedia installations. A programme-like writing on the cover of her album reads: ‘With what can I reach the events which will shake foundations and make the axioms questionable? … There are still a lot of potential combinations. Undoubtedly, information is still coming’. We can understand this as a unique ethos and a wager, which is like a breath of fresh air in the undernourished space of contemporary music in Slovenia. Bojana Šaljić Podešva industriously puts this wager into action by collaborating with younger Slovene musicians, video artists, dancers, theatre directors, and electronic music makers. In the music area, she has collaborated with a colleague, composer Aldo Kumar on the one hand, and with a member of the duet Random Logic and the author of the project Medvedek Robotek (Teddy-bear Robot) Gregor Zemljič on the other. In theatre, she collaborated with Silvan Omerzu in many of his performances, also with Janez Pipan; in dance, with Katja Kosi, Ann Adamović, and Mojca Klemenčič; and in multimedia, with Boštjan Bugarič and Miloš Bartol. The latter three and Bojana are memb

Do You Know Your Holiday Dinner Vocab?

A slice of pumpkin pie with a crimped crust.
Don’t wing it when it comes to your holiday dinner.

There are a few holiday meal camps, including the Tried and Trues and the Let’s Do Something News. (There’s no shame in sampling from both plates.) For those interested in traveling the culinary road not taken, we’ve collected some cooking vocabulary that can help clear the path to Destination Yum.

Au gratin vs gratin dauphinoise: Au gratin includes slices of precooked potatoes cooked in cream and topped with cheese; dauphinoise includes slices of uncooked potatoes cooked in cream. (Don’t go the boxed route for au gratin potatoes; fresh is best, especially for the holidays.)

Braising: uses wet and dry heat with food sautéed or seared and finished in a covered pot in low temperature with a liquid

Brine: a salt solution, typically featuring fresh herbs and fruit, used to marinate turkey, for example, to provide for moist, flavor-infused meat (Trust us; it’s worth doing to give your turkey an extra trot to the table.)

Compote vs chutney vs coulis: Compote features fresh or dried fruit slowly cooked in a sugar syrup; chutney is a combination of fruit, vinegar, sugar and spices; and coulis is simply a fruit (or veggie) puree.

Crimping: the technique of pleating or adding a ruffled edge to pie dough, along the upper edge of the pie plate (It’s all in the presentation, so mastering this is half the battle of making homemade crust.)

Crumble vs buckle vs betty: Crumble is typically stewed fruit, topped with a mix of butter, flour and sugar; buckle is fruit and cake with a streusel topping; and betty includes fruit layered between or on top of bread crumbs/cubes.

Duchess baked potatoes: fancy-pants mashed potatoes, which are prepared, piped into decorative, individual swirls and browned (Impress the mother-in-law with these numbers!)

Galette: a flat, round pastry or bread that holds a sweet or savory filling.

Giblets: liver, heart, gizzard (part of the stomach) and neck of fowl (used to flavor gravy, stuffing and soup)

Gremolata: made with chopped parsley, garlic and lemon zest (accompanies a protein)

Hasselback potatoes

Hasselback potatoes: arrived thanks to the Hasselbacken Hotel’s restaurant in Sweden; spuds are sliced (not all the way through the potato) into thin slices (presentation grade: A+)

Kabocha squash: winter squash, also known as a Japanese pumpkin

Minced meat: a finely chopped mixture of boiled meat, suet and apples with spices and raisins (Calm yourselves; not all versions include meat.)

Roux: typically equal parts fat (We like butter!) and flour to start sauces or gravy.

Sorghum: used by cooks as a sweetener (Ask your Southern friends about it.) and can be ground into flour and used as substitute for wheat flour

Spatchcocked vs butterfly: Same thing! You just sound more “chefy” if you refer to splitting a chicken by removing the backbone to flatten it for better cooking as spatchcocking.

Spoon bread (typically a soft cornbread served with—a spoon!) vs bread pudding (slices of bread baked with dried fruit, sugar, spices and eggs)

Stock (made from bones) vs broth (made from meat or veggies) So if you want to feed your skin, nails and hair, stick to stock—it’s full of collagen.

Stuffing vs dressing: Here’s where the dinner table arguments begin. The ingredients for stuffing and dressing are basically the same. What’s different is how they’re cooked. Stuffing goes IN the bird; dressing hangs out in a casserole dish in the oven or a pot on the stove.

Tian: finely chopped vegetables that are cooked in olive oil then baked au gratin.

Yam vs sweet potato: We’re betting 90 percent of us have been calling these holiday staples by the wrong name. Often, an item labeled “yam” is actually a soft sweet potato (copper skin and orange flesh); items labeled “sweet potato” are firm sweet potatoes with golden skin and light flesh. Will the real yams please stand up? Real yams have black/brown skin and white, purple or reddish flesh. When in doubt, does it really matter?

It was only a week ago that hackers were able to gather personal information from billions of Facebook and LinkedIn accounts and were put for sale on the internet. It now seems as if Clubhouse had fallen prey to a similar attack. The audio-only chatting platform oversaw more than 1.3 million users having their records stolen and posted online on a popular hacker forum.

This means that consumers had all the data from their Clubhouse profiles leaked which consisted of their:

Full Names
User ID and username
Number of followers and followings
Other social media account handles
Account creation dates
Invites sent and who they were invited by on the app
Is Clubhouse’s API Susceptible to Allowing Mass Scrapes of User Data?
Clubhouse later came forward with a statement regarding the issue, claiming that they did not observe any form of a security breach in their systems. They went ahead and stated that the leaked data was already public information available to anyone and easily accessible through their API(Application Programming Interface).

These comments did little to ease the general public’s concerns and their user base, as this event showcased the position of Clubhouse with regards to their privacy policy. Public information was obtainable for a large number of accounts through Clubhouse’s API, which can have severe ramifications for user privacy.

Mantas Sasnauskas, a senior information security researcher at CyberNews, called this policy into question, stating that the platform allowed anyone with a token or an API to collect the entire library of public profile information from the Clubhouse app without an expiration period in place for said token.

He further added that despite Clubhouse having a privacy policy in place which does not permit unauthorized data mining and data scraping, they should take measures to make it difficult for anyone to scrape user data, rather than just writing a few sentences against it in their policy.

How Can This Impact Users?
The consequence of the public data being leaked online is that cybercriminals can use it to carry out attacks such as phishing and social engineering attacks. On the hacker forum mentioned above, the SQL database posted revealed only public Clubhouse profile information. There were no signs of sensitive data, such as credit card information, present for any user. However, for certain cybercriminals, this basic public information is sufficient and useful in their efforts to commit heinous acts against innocent individuals using these apps.

These individuals are able to compare information found in the leaked SQL database with other data breaches through which they create comprehensive profiles of their targets. This sets a platform for them to conduct identity theft against the people whose information they can find readily available on the hacker forum.

Next Steps
There are a few necessary steps that you must undertake if you are fearful that your Clubhouse profile information has been leaked and published online. This includes:

Avoid accepting Clubhouse connection requests from dodgy people who you do not know.
Going forward, create strong passwords and use a password manager tool to help you remember them.
Begin enabling two-factor authentication for all your accounts.
Be wary of suspicious emails and messages you receive online, as these can contain links that may lead to your privacy being compromised.

Envy and Resentment Often Lurk Just Below the Surface

Envy is one of the most pervasive human emotions, yet it’s rare that you find someone who admits to it. But someone just did. In a WSJ article the author, Lee Siegel, compares the rise of Asian-Americans with that of Jewish-Americans. He writes,

Some of the more vehement attacks on Amy Chua’s deliberately provocative 2011 memoir of child rearing, “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,” were perhaps fueled by resentment of Asian-American ascendancy, especially in the context of raising “perfect” children. Confession: I was one of the book’s more vocal detractors. Was I, a Jewish-American writer, driven to pique, in part, by a member of a group that threatens Jewish-American cultural domination, just as American Jews once threatened the WASP mandarinate? Well, maybe.

Wow. Thank you Mr. Siegel for your honesty in admitting that your earlier criticism of Amy Chua’s style of child-rearing was partly fueled by a resentment (i.e. envy) of Asian-American ascendancy. (And it’s a bit ironic that this is coming from someone who’s part of a group that often itself is a target of envy and resentment.)

This is so revealing – and not just in Siegel’s case. One extrapolates that many opinions and observations that one comes across in the media and elsewhere actually derive from selfish and petty human foibles, rather than from substance. It shows that everything should be taken with a grain of salt. The next time one comes across a scathing criticism of Mitt Romney or whoever, one should ask whether the person doing the criticizing has too much envy running through his or her veins.

* * * *

On another but related subject, the article points out that Asian-Americans, to their credit, enjoy the highest incomes of any racial group in the United States. And as well they should, thanks to their admirable focus on education and hard work. (One example is that, in my local area and I’m sure elsewhere, Asian-Americans far more than Americans of other extractions send their children to academics-focused summer school. And that makes perfect  sense. Three months of summer vacation is an anachronism – based on the desire to let children work on the farms back when we primarily were an agricultural society. America never fixed that, and now it’s practically impossible because the teachers unions would be so resistant. Even though they mostly enjoy good salaries for working only nine months of the year — like Chicago where they earn $75K — were we to propose a 10 or 11 month school year, the unions would of course demand a big salary increase to compensate for it. And that would be too expensive so it’s unlikely that it ever would fly.)

The statistic in the article that Asian-Americans enjoy the highest incomes reminded me of a class-warfare-laden “infographic” about a year ago in LiveScience focusing on the top 1 percent (yes, it was class warfare in what should be a science-focused publication), which I wrote about previously. It included a bar graph of average incomes of racial groups in America: white, black, and Hispanic. It showed that whites had the highest incomes – and the tone of the graphs did not put people with high incomes in a favorable light. But it conspicuously left out average incomes of Asian-Americans.

That no doubt was because the writers and editors of the publication wanted to convey the impression that the inequality and other ills of America stem from the actions of upper-income white Americans. In the context of that infographic, it would have been very politically incorrect to show that a minority group actually has higher average incomes than those of European extraction. So they simply left out that inconvenient fact. It was one of the most blatant examples of journalist malpractice I had ever seen.

Vehicles of Human Consciousness

“The plain fact is that the materialist picture of the body and brain as the producers, rather than the vehicles, of human consciousness is doomed.”

Stirring words from Dr. Eben Alexander, M.D., a neurosurgeon who contracted a rare bacterial meningitis four years ago and was in a coma for a week, with a non-functioning neocortex. Medically, he knew that there’s no way a person can experience consciousness when the neurons of one’s cortex are reduced to complete inactivity. Prior to his experience he was like most other scientists, who just think that science, not faith, is the road to truth. “Before my experience I strongly suspected that this was the case myself,” he writes. Yet during that coma he experienced consciousness – a consciousness so profound that it completely changed his outlook on life. Read about his account here.

It’s ironic that the number of atheists are swelling. Because they’re bumping up against more and more compelling accounts of persons who’ve experienced what it’s like on the other side. I suspect that such accounts are going to slow the march of atheism in America.

Meantime, all I can say is you’d better be good. Because there’s probably someone watching your every move.

The Internet is Bad News for Tax Raisers

Bad news for tax-and-spenders. The Internet is making it harder to raise tax revenue.

Governments can still raise taxes, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to raise revenue they had hoped to raise. And for leftists, it doesn’t mean they’re going to inflict the punishment on the rich that they had hoped to inflict.

That’s because thanks to the Internet and the information economy, many businesses can be run from anywhere. Business owners can simply set up shop in another country or jurisdiction whenever the government wants to take more of their money.

A case in point is France. The new president there jacked up the top tax rate from a whopping 48 percent to a whopping 75 percent.

A recent article reports that “Start-up entrepreneurs (are) looking to move their headquarters out of France and taking their families with them.”

With the Internet “it is now possible to work in any corner of the world and come and spend one week a month in France,” said Thibault de Saint Vincent, president of Barnes France, the principal competitor to Daniel Feau.

You can tax people more, but you can’t make them stick around.

It’s yet another reason why cutting the budget deficit calls for spending cuts, not tax increases.

Romney/Ryan the “True Progressives”?

The Economist magazine has an article on how to reduce inequality while maintaining economic growth. They call it “True Progressivism”. Among their prescriptions are:

* Eliminating tax subsidies for the wealthy like the mortgage interest deduction
* Means testing of entitlements, which Republicans always propose but Democrats always shoot down
* Cracking down on teachers unions
* Ending government bailouts of big companies

Wow – who would have thought Romney/Ryan are the “True Progressives”?

Not unexpectedly, in the article The Economist doesn’t t admit that the above prescriptions are much closer to the Romney agenda than the Obama agenda – in fact they’re anathema to the Obama agenda.

What’s wrong Economist? Can’t you bring yourself to say that in order for these things to have a shot at happening, Romney/Ryan are the way to go?

Waiting with baited breath to find out who The Economist endorses this time.
Update: Wouldn’t ya have guessed it: they endorsed Obama.

Don’t Sweat the Red-Blue Switch

There was a WSJ op-ed where the author laments the media’s labeling of all things Republican with red and Democrats with blue:

“Perhaps the most brazen language diktat has been the mischievous switch of political colors. … The change came in 2000 courtesy of MSNBC and NBC’s “Today” show. …Saddling your political rivals with a symbol to which they have been historically opposed is an even better and naughtier joke. Either it was that or numbing cluelessness.”

The red-blue switch used to somewhat bother me but not anymore. Want to know why the use of “red” and “blue” is so much more common now than it was pre-2000? Because the Dems must have hated the “red” label due to its association with communism. They were insecure with that, and didn’t want people to think they were that far to the left. Now that Repubs have been annointed with the “red” label, no one’s going to associate Republicans with communism.

So let the pundits have their fun. The switch has freed the media (who of course lean left) from that insecurity. Using the terms “Democrat” and “Republican” all the time can get boring, so why not liven things up a bit – add some color to the conversation – by throwing “red” and “blue” into the mix?

Any Economists at The Economist?

I wonder who The Economist magazine is going to endorse for president this time. Four years ago they endorsed Barack Obama. Puzzlingly, The Economist thought Obama would be good for The Economy. If makes one wonder if there are  any economists on staff at The Economist. Now, four years later, I wouldn’t be surprised if they endorse Obama again, because from what I gather, that publication has become decidedly left-leaning. (Though you never know – they went for Bush in 2000.) Compared with other left-of-center publications they can occasionally say a sensible thing or two when it comes to economics, but overall they usually seem to be colder toward U.S. candidates that lean free-market and warmer toward those who lean otherwise.

Case in point was yesterday. In the aftermath of the first Obama-Romney debate, everyone seems to think Romney eviscerated Obama – which may be so but I think Romney could have presented even better arguments. In any event, The Economist’s “Lexington” columnist put in his or her (their columnists go unnamed) two cents on the issue. It prompted me to write this:

It’s noteworthy that the writer of The Economist article points to Romney’s “repeated false claims about Mr. Obama cutting hundreds of billions from Medicare programmes for the elderly”. The writer seems to think that because the $716 billion is to be cut from providers rather than beneficiaries, that it’s not a cut. Try getting treatment from someone if they’re not being paid. Even Obama didn’t dispute the $716 billion transfer from Medicare to Obamacare.

Meanwhile Obama repeated the patently false claim that Romney plans to raise taxes on the middle class, basing that on some “study” where the authors think Romney should raise such taxes in order to fund his promises. That’s a far cry from Romney proposing to raise those taxes, which is what the Obama people want everyone to believe. It’s the biggest, most outrageous falsehood of this campaign and gets repeated over and over, which should make anyone think twice about the integrity of the Obama people. Not to bring up that falsehood in The Economist article is journalistic malpractice.

They will not only have respect for you but also for your friends and family.

Loyal and Loving

What are you looking for in a woman if it is not unconditional love? Once you win their heart, they will love you wholeheartedly. They will put you above everything. If they were to choose between spending time at the cosmetic to make themselves look more attractive and spending time with you, they would choose the latter. It doesn’t matter what challenges you face. They will always stand by your side in good and bad times. Their undoubting love makes them have no eyes to any other man. They will remain faithful to you at all costs. What they require from you is to reciprocate their love and loyalty and do the same thing.

They do not try to compete with their men.

Tips for Dating a Polish Woman

When dating these ladies, there are things you should expect.

Polish Women Are not Materialistic

Many women are from other countries are more focused on material things than the one she is dating. They want you to buy them the fanciest things and take them to the most expensive restaurant. It has made many men assume that the only way to win a girl’s heart is by having a fat wallet. If you are planning to use this tactic with polish ladies, you better back down. These ladies are very different. They are contented with what they have or the simple gift you give to them. During your first date, they don’t expect you to take them to fancy places or buy them expensive things. They only need you to love them wholeheartedly and respect them.

Be a Leader

Due to their utmost respect, they recognize the man as the leader of the relationship. Be it big decisions or small; the man should have the final say. Therefore, if you are those men who wait for women to do everything and make every decision, then you don’t fit in dating these ladies. They also want the man to have a mastery of their life and know what they want. They also expect you to understand their feeling and know how to handle them in different circumstances. As much as they also want to have decision-making authority, you have to take control of things.

Be ready to manage family topics

For polish ladies, as their relationship grows, they start thinking of having a family. Unlike other women, these brides do not look for a short-term hookup. When dating a polish girl, you should be ready for such conversations. You should know about managing these conversations to avoid conflicts. Not only their parents but also their friends and relatives put pressure on them to have their kids. These conversations especially emerge when most of them attain the age of around twenty-five years.

Older Men Have no Luck

If you are from the age of thirty and above, then you are unlucky to find a younger single. Most young women are looking for men who are in a similar age bracket. It is hard to find a girl in her twenties dating a guy who is in his thirties. But, if you are in your twenties, you will get attractive singles who are in search of a long term hookup.

Holiday Is an Important Aspect

No woman doesn’t like going on vacation. If you are looking for a recipe to spice up your marriage or relationship, this is the best tool to use. Polish women expect you to portion your time and go on holiday with her. According to them, the best way to spend their holidays is by spending quality time with their family. For your relationship with these ladies to be successful, you need to avail yourself of these events and show that you are interested in bonding with their family. The families of these brides are known to be the most hospitable. Therefore you should not worry about the treatment you will get.

Hand Kissing and Kissing on the Cheeks

The aspect of hand-kissing can do miracles for you when it comes to polish single ladies. However, it can become your nightmare if done wrong. Many people think that doing this aspect is easy, but most of them fail to do it well. You should not raise the hand of the girl and bring it to your mouth to kiss it. Instead, you should bend downwards to her side. Another aspect that can give you an upper hand is kissing each other on the chicks. You may think that you are doing the wrong thing, but you are not since they don’t take it to be intimate.

‘Souad’: Ayten Amin’s Provocative Portrait of Social Media Isolation Is Empathetic & Sometimes Underformed [Tribeca Review]

Reading now: 315

Social media as a way of hiding ourselves and assuming a new identity is an increasingly familiar cinematic concept, and in most genre films, that flexibility can introduce a kind of threat.

In Gia Coppola’s recent “Mainstream,” Jan Komasa’s “The Hater,” and Leo Gabriadze’s “Unfriended,” Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram allow for a veiling of users’ true identities.

Personality defrag

The Write 31 Days prompt for today is: The struggle is real. What’s yours?

For nearly the last two years, I’ve been doing the work of pulling myself together. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a chameleon, and I hate it. There was an art to being safe in my childhood home. It was mostly Bad to be noticed. It was Good to be helpful. It was Good to be quiet. It was Bad to let anyone outside the family know what was going on inside the family.

Awesome, right? Right. I’m not alone in this experience, but I sure felt alone at the time. I think that isolation was part of the point, looking back.

All six of my siblings and I learned to give different faces to different people. It was a survival thing.

Our senses of reality were f*cked with. I’ve continuously kept a journal since I was twelve, because I was told so many times that something happened that didn’t, or didn’t that did. My siblings and I still, still sometimes check in with each other, just like when we were kids. “Did that happen? Do you remember? Mom says it did/didn’t.”

A journal was unchangeable. Ink on paper was reliable. I still sometimes go back and check an old journal, and sometimes I remembered it right, and sometimes I didn’t.

We all learned to wear carefully crafted faces, different for each person watching us. We learned different sets of memory, different for each person we were presenting to. We fragmented for survival.

The thing is, we are our memories.

It’s like I took a dozen different jigsaw puzzles, and shook them together in a box, and nothing goes together quite right, even though some of it does. Sometimes. Kind of. The story the puzzle tells makes no sense. Memories don’t quite work together, and it takes some outside help to make sense of it all, and sort out the stories we were told to remember, and the ones that actually happened.

So I’ve been doing some head chiropracty, trying to pull everything as straight as possible. It will probably never all quite fit, but it can be better aligned. My therapist was worth twice his weight in gold, for having the patience of a god. EMDR and therapy has changed my life, y’all. It’s dangerous to go skull spelunking alone. And thank goodness for modern medicine to correct my brain chemistry so I could start therapy.

During this 31 day challenge, I had a real thunderbolt moment. I’m a whole, fully integrated person when I’m writing. All the fog clears. The puzzle pieces make sense. I can think more clearly. I can remember more clearly. I knew this, but I didn’t know it, you know? Since you’re taking part in the Write 31 Day October blogging challenge, it’s even money that you do know this. I don’t know if it’s because I originally began writing to track my own reality, or if that’s just how brains generally work.

My continuing struggle with integrating and with running a personality defrag is made easier by writing, and writing is easier when I’m less isolated. I’m grateful you’re here with me, traveling through this writing challenge like we’re all on the yellow brick road, waving to the pixels as we skip past.

Thanks for being here with me.

In case you need something to smile about, here is a Corgi in a scarf.

My own private Ida-nope.

Today’s post is short1. I’m going to go to bed early. I’m going to get up later than I’ve been getting up this week, because I’m writing this ahead of time. I’m scheduling it.

In the morning, I’m going to take a longer shower than necessary. I’m going to have two, two cups of coffee.2 I’ll take the dog on his constitutional, and then I’ll go to work. After work, the doggo and I are going for another walk. How decadent!

That’s what my self care looks like, today. That’s how I’m going to take care of myself. That’s how I’m going to protect my self, today. I may come back later and post pics of the walk, or I may not. It will be a surprise for both of us.

So I’m not writing a proper post today, because I’m opting in for a little nonproductive time spent taking care of myself.

Are you doing anything intentional this month to look after or protect your own wild and precious self?

This blog has been taken over by the 2018 Write 31 Days challenge. Here’s the sweet, sweet index of all my posts of nope.

It’s my first ex-anniversary, and boy are my arms tired

Twelve years ago today, I made some vows with and to another adult human. The vows were real flippin’ easy ones, and they were the same for both of us. They were so easy, and the ceremony was so fast, that the photographer missed the kiss for the first time in his 50 year career.

You wouldn’t think they’d be that hard to remember then, right? Alas.

To be honest, I had originally planned something heartbreaking and angry for today, but after processing so much this month, I just… don’t need to. Thanks for helping me work through so much, y’all. The set up costs of blogging are much cheaper than therapy.

I woke up this morning with a giddy thought. I CAN UNPACK ALL THE THINGS. All the boxes we never unpacked when we moved here years ago, because every time I started to clean or set our home up, I was met with a wall of resentment and silence, and I was afraid of the repercussions of that anger, so I did everything I could to avoid it.

I stopped living, I stopped being me. But… now? I can unpack my stationery and pens. I can unpack my quilting supplies and embroidery supplies and all the activities I’ve loved since I was a wee bairn. I come from generations of makers and builders. I was working in my mom’s wood shop as soon as I could handle a tack hammer and had enough dexterity to unravel rope.

I don’t think I can be me and not be making something. So instead of griping today, and doing something largely symbolic, I’m unpacking. I’m taking up space. I’m going to create. I’m going to make. I’m going to rebuild, stronger, faster, better.

This is going to be glorious.

So that’s why I’m not writing, today. It’s my first ex-anniversary, and I’m celebrating by finding myself amongst the boxes and bubble-wrap. No time to write! Things to do!

In case you could use a smile today, here is my teacup chupacabra in his Halloween costume.

Weekend Link Love #2

Time to share a little love, this weekend.

Things I’ve listened to this week: Radio drama and the like is life.
Wolverine: The Long Night (FREE PODCAST, people!)
The X-Files: Cold Cases

Here are a few of my favorite people:

* Penny, who is stumbling along in the most interesting way possible.
* XKCD, which pretty much always makes me smile.
* Post Secret, for breaking my heart weekly, in the best way possible.
* The Coffee Snob, who wrote this gorgeous and devastating piece that might or might not be about a hat.

And shout out to the US Postal service, just because mail carriers are my heros. And also because I love working in the mail room every chance I get, and I only get that chance when the usual mail person has a vacation. RACK UP THAT PTO AND TAKE A VACATION, ALREADY.

OK, fellow Write 31 Day-ers and Five Minute Free Writers, we’re nearly at the halfway point. C’mon, we can do this! Everybody pull!

Close enough.

This blog has been taken over by the 2018 Write 31 Days challenge. Here’s the sweet, sweet index of all my posts of nope.

I’m not writing today because I need to clean. There are dishes to do, meals to prep, carpet to be de-furred (three cats + one dog = pet hair tumbleweeds overnight), and basically everything looks important and more fun than writing, right now. It’s great to avoid writing by being productive at something else. It’s such a convenient reason! Thanks, dog footprints on the carpet. You’re the best.

Yes, there are definitely more important things I need to do today than write.

Look! Look over here! The bathroom sink clearly needs a good scrub. Maybe a baking soda soak, while I’m at it. Look. Go on. It’s all so fascinating.

It’s self-care! That’s what it is. Self-care. It’s not procrastination or fear of failure at all. I’m just taking good care of myself. And, really, who can write with a sink full of dishes staring at them? Not me, that’s who. No siree.

When was the last time I washed the cat beds? Too long ago, that’s when. I have time for a load of laundry while the dishes run. It’s not like I need to watch it. I just need to get it started. There will be plenty of time to write after that. Plenty.

Should I run the carpet shampooer? I mean, maybe I should? I did already vacuum three times, to make sure I got up all the pet hair. If I’m going to do that, maybe I should go ahead and run the shampooer. Might as well, right? I’m halfway there, already.

Oh, oh! I could sweep! The entry way needs a tidy up. Groceries? How am I for groceries? If I’m going to pick up groceries, I’d better clean the fridge, first, and if I’m going to clean the fridge, I need to take the trash out, and if I’m going to take the trash out, I might as well empty all the trash cans.

And… and… and….

So that’s why I’m not writing today – I need to vacuum.

Absolute credit where absolute credit is due. Besides, “Hyperbole and a Half” is hilarious. She said it first, and the internet was never the same again.

In case you’re having a bad day, here is an emergency Hank.

Malaysia-based yacht builder Grand Banks reported an increase in revenues and significant uplift in profitability for its third quarter ending 31 March.

With a preliminary report on the first nine months of its fiscal 2021 year, Grand Banks announced a 12-year high for the company’s order book with 10 new custom yachts sold in the third quarter, along with two trade-in boats.

“Reflecting good market response to new designs such as the Grand Banks 54 and Palm Beach 55, the net order book rose to S$87.9m from S$50.4m a year ago,” stated the company. The Group manufactures yachts ranging from 42ft-85ft under the Grand Banks, Eastbay and Palm Beach brands out of its facilities at Pasir Gudang, Johor, Malaysia, with service yards in Stuart, Florida, USA and Newport, New South Wales, Australia.

Despite Covid-19 challenges which have caused the builder to temporarily halt production two times already, Grand Banks said fiscal year revenue to date is up 4.4% to S$75.6m from S$72.4m for the same period last year. At the same time, Net Income (before tax) jumped 42.4% to S$5.8m from S$4.0m a year ago – a record since the global financial crisis.

In 2020, group revenues totalled S$103.2m, with 84% generated in the United States and the remainder in Australia. Grand Banks was publicly listed in 1987 on the Singapore Exchange Limited and upgraded to the Main Board in 1993.

Basics of Java #7

In this article we are going to learn about Arrays.

alt 7_arrays1

Examples of arrays:
stdNames = {"Edward Cullen", "Jacob Black", "Isabella swan", "Alice Cullen"}
primeNumbers = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19}
vowels = {'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'}
bookSeries = {"Twilight Saga", "Harry Potter", "Hunger Games", "After"}

Given above are few examples of arrays. Let's see how we can implement them in java.
First you need to know that we have to import a library named java.util.Arrays to perform array oppertaions. Without that you can not use Arrays in your program. After importing that library we can declare array variables as follows;

import java.util.Arrays;
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] primeNumbers = new int[5];
        primeNumbers[0] = 2;
        primeNumbers[1] = 3;
        primeNumbers[2] = 5;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here line int[] primeNumbers = new int[5] is where we declare the array. Here we are declaring an array named primeNumbers which can store 5 elements in it. After that I have stored the numbers by calling the indexes. In the zeroth index I have stored the number 2. First index with number 3 and second index with number 5. When you call primeNumbers[1] it will return the number at the index '1' which is '3' and print it.

Task 01

Tryout these print statements with the given array and see the outputs. Reason why they give those outputs.

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

I will reason the last print statement. You might have thought that System.out.println(primeNumbers) would print the elements of the arrays. However, your output would looks something like this '[I@1b6d3586'. What is this output? Any guesses?

Here, by default java returns a string which is calculated based on the address of the object 'primeNumbers' in the memory, when you called the System.out.println(primeNumbers) statement. Is there a way in which we can print the elements of the array? Yes, for that you have to use the predefined methods in the Arrays class.

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The toString() method will converts the array to a string and will give the output '[2, 3, 5, 0, 0]' as the result. Why do the last two elements are zeros? That is because we have not yet stores any values in 3rd and 4th indexes. How can you get the number of elements of a particular array?

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Above code gives the length of the array. Here it prints '5'. In other words it prints the size that we have allocated when we first initialized the array. It includes the last two zeros as well.

There's another way to initialize arrays.

int[] numbers = {2,3,5};
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The above code will create an array named numbers with size '3' and stores elements 2, 3, and 5 in it.

Just like in strings, Class Arrays also has many predefined methods. I will leave them for you to explore and practice ;)

Task 02

Given an array evenNumbers = {4, 2, 10, 200, 144, 50, 24, 96} print the

  1. maximum number
  2. minimum number
  3. summation of all the numbers
  4. average of all the numbers

Multi-dimensional Arrays

Arrays may not always be one dimensional. You also may want to declare two dimensional arrays (like matrices). Let's see how we can do that.

int[][] matrix = new int[2][3]; // line 1
matrix[0][0] = 1; // line 2
matrix[0][1] = 2; // line 3
matrix[1][2] = 3; // line 4
System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(matrix)); // line 5
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In 'line 1' we have created an array object named 'matrix' which is of integer type. We have given int[2][3] as the size. So this creates a 2x3 matrix (2 rows and 3 columns).
In line 2 we have stored the value '1' in the place of [0][0]. You know indexing does not start with number '1'. So this 00 represent the joining position of first row first column.
The numbers 3 and 4 have also been stored in the matrix and the elements of the matrix are printed by the line 5 with the use of 'Arrays' class.
The output will look like;
[[1, 2, 0], [0, 0, 3]]

The matrix can be displayed as follows in a tabular form.

Row index\Column index 0 1 2
0 1 2 0
1 0 0 3

Just like one dimensional arrays, 2D arrays can also be declared as follows.

int[][] matrixTwo = { { 1, 2, 3 }, { 4, 5, 6 } };
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This code generates a 3x3 matrix which is [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]].

With that we can wrap up this article. Let's learn more about java in upcoming articles :)

South Florida hits record $5B in residential sales volume in December

Residential sales continued to soar throughout South Florida in December, with median prices of both single-family homes and condos on the rise.

A boost in high-end sales, which has occurred throughout the pandemic, led to double-digit year-over-year increases in sales volume in the tri-county region, according to reports from the Miami Association of Realtors.

In Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, a record $5 billion worth of residential real estate sold in December.

The results continue the trends found in November, October and September.

Miami-Dade County

Residential sales rose by 23.3 percent, year-over-year, to 2,990 closings in Miami-Dade County. Single-family home sales increased by about 17 percent to 1,372, and condo sales jumped 29.4 percent to 1,618.

Sales volume totaled $704 million for single-family homes, up nearly 86 percent, and condo dollar volume increased 68 percent to $854 million, for a total of $1.6 billion.

Median single-family prices rose 20 percent to $455,000. Condo prices grew 12 percent to $274,500.

Residential sales jumped 26.5 percent, year-over-year, to 3,413 in Broward County. Single-family home sales rose by 24.5 percent to 1,645, while condo closings increased 28.5 percent to 1,768.

As a result, sales dollar volume surged, rising nearly 50 percent to $977 million for homes and up 48 percent for condos to $469 million.

Median single-family prices increased 13.2 percent to $430,000. Condo prices grew 11.1 percent to $200,000.

Palm Beach County

Residential sales totaled 3,079 closings in December, a 16.5 percent year-over-year increase for Palm Beach County. Single-family home sales continued to shine, rising nearly 26 percent annually to 1,784. Condo sales rose only 6 percent to 1,295.

Closed dollar volume increased 117 percent to a whopping $1.5 billion, and condo dollar volume jumped 14 percent to $499 million.

Single-family home prices increased 16.8 percent year-over-year to $425,000. Condo prices rose 21.1 percent to $230,000.

I am one of those historians that has a really hard time sticking to just one thing. In my undergraduate degree, I did an honors in history at Dalhousie University, where I mostly focused on Medieval and Early Modern English history.  Working with Dr. Cynthia Neville, I wrote my thesis on Masculinity in Medieval Scotland, expressed through the images on wax seals, and now I am officially an expert in blobs of wax, and I get very excited about it.

I did my Masters degree in Public History at Carleton University, graduating in 2016. This is where my interest and excitement for museums was allowed to catch fire and get a little bit out of control. I worked with Dr. John Walsh, and studied the Newfoundland Folk Music Revival of the 50s and 60s, examining the role of collector Kenneth Peacock. This story is the first series of posts on this site, and is the culmination of my fascination with museums and their role in creating the historical narrative, as well as my constant attempts to understand how history is being used and reused in our own lives on a daily basis.

PresentingPast is the culmination of my unending desire to learn about our past, uninhibited by theme or period, and that strange lull after grad school when you haven’t quite found a job in your field yet, and have a little too much time on your hands, time which I much prefer to spend writing about how we write history.

  • News UK alleges breach of agreement and unlawful access by Met
  • Met denies both claims, and says News UK 'caused' 20m emails to be deleted

The Metropolitan Police unlawfully accessed journalistic material contained on News UK's "back-up tapes" containing 20m emails, the company has alleged.

News UK, formerly known as News International, is suing the Met for "breach of confidence", claiming it broke an agreement by accessing the material as part of its investigations into journalists.

The publisher of the now-defunct News of the World, The Sun, Times and Sunday Times also alleges that the Met's access to the tapes breached the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) and the Criminal Justice and Police Act.

News UK alleges in legal papers, seen by Press Gazette, that the Met was given physical possession of a zip-tied box of the tapes for "political" reasons at the height of the phone-hacking scandal in the summer of 2011.

But it said the force needed permission from the company in order to access the materials.

In its response, the Met has denied breaching an agreement between the parties and said its actions were within the law.

The 500 or so tapes, which are the subject of a claim made by News UK in the High Court, contain 50 terabytes of data from around 2,000 News UK systems.

News UK claims the data was deleted automatically from its systems via an "ageing off" process and that it made efforts to recover the material and inform the Met of this.

But the police force has alleged that the company "caused to be deleted" the data, which included 20m emails from before January 2008.

According to News UK's account, between 29 June and 1 July 2011 the company discovered that the data could be recovered and informed the Met.

On 11 July, it alleges that a legal representative for the company was asked by the Met's Detective Inspector Barney Ratcliffe "that for reasons which he agreed were 'stupid' — namely that there was a public and political need for the MPS to demonstrate that the MPS had control of the material (referring to the data on the 'backup tapes') — which would 'add grief' to the process of getting access to the material, the MPS wished the tapes to be kept in the physical custody of the MPS and, if necessary, taken back to NI (at Thomas More Square, Wapping) on a daily basis".

News UK said this was the case for a period, where the tapes were transferred between premises, before they came to rest with the Met.

The company claims that under a "protocol" and then a "memorandum of understanding" between the parties, the Met would need permission to access the tapes.

It said: “The MPS expressly recognised that issues might arise under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, the Contempt of Court Act 1981, Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights… and in relation to legal professional privilege when material was made available by NI and NoW.”

News UK said it never consented to the Met being allowed to access the tapes or the data within them. It also said no agreement was made for the company to "waive any of its legal rights including those relating to journalistic material… legal professional privilege or the confidentiality of business information”.

According to News UK’s legal submission, the Met “could only lawfully secure access to the data on the ‘backup tapes’ with the written consent of NI”.

It claimed the Met’s access to the tapes breached agreements between the two organisations and the law under PACE and the Criminal Justice and Police Act.

“The MPS has no statutory or common law legal power to gain access to that data,” the claim form said.

“The MPS has wrongfully and egregiously interfered with the rights of NI in the ‘backup tapes’ and in the information contained thereon and has converted the ‘backup tapes’ to its own use. Further or alternatively has acted in breach of the terms agreed between the parties and referred to herein.”

News UK added: “At no stage in the history of these events has the MPS sought to obtain judicial authority to gain access to the data held on the tapes pursuant to the statutory framework provided by the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 or at all.”

The Met is accused, “without lawful right, authority or the consent of NI accessed or attempted to access the data on the ‘backup tapes’ on at least three occasions and possibly, as will only become apparent on disclosure, more”.

News UK said it became aware of police accesses to the tapes during the hacking trial, in correspondence with the Met and in another legal case.

In its defence, the Met denied that News UK had made it aware of the existence of the back-up tapes and alleged that the company had deleted 20m emails.

The Met denied it had breached any agreement with News UK, saying that the company itself had "fundamentally breached" the "memorandum of understanding", which superseded the "protocol", in March 2013 by withdrawing its co-operation.

The Met said in its claim form that the company "had… waived legal rights, including journalistic and legal professional privilege, that it had disclosed to the MPS".

The police force also denied breaching PACE and any other laws. It said the Met had not taken possession of the tapes wrongfully, that this was done with the co-operation of the company and that the force now had a "duty" to retain the data.

It said: "The common law recognises the power (duty) of a constable to retain for use in court things which may be evidence of crime and which have come into possession of the constable without wrong on their part.

“Here, the backup tapes came into the possession of the Operation Weeting officers without any wrong on their part. They were seized by police officers on 12th July 2011 and afterwards for the purposes of the criminal investigation that they were then conducting.

“Even on the claimant’s case the backup tapes came into the possession of the officers without wrong on their part.

“The backup tapes were handled by the MPS thereafter as exhibits in the criminal investigation with a view to them being used for the purposes of criminal proceedings.”

The Met admitted that it had not sought "judicial authority" to access the documents. "But PACE and the common law, as is set out above, provide rights to constables that are exercisable without prior judicial authority.”

The current legal action was started by News UK in February this year with a letter to the Met. The company submitted a claim form to the High Court on 28 October.

News UK is seeking the return of the tapes, damages and costs from the Metropolitan Police.

Free «Prison Break» Essay Sample

Prison Break

The well-known drama, “Prison Break”, has a fabulous story line and images. Individuals can remember impressive scenes of Wentworth Miller’s body. Most individuals would agree that huge tattoos were shown and that they were unforgettable. The beautiful tattoos in the drama did not represent a criminal act as gang members; in fact they represented Miller’s determination. His tattoos also create an undeniable connection between his expression and viewers today. Individuals also want to express emotions or memories of connections between us, and they may choose one of best ways for explaining themselves by drawing pictures, writing words, or recording. These are fundamental expression methods as well. These days, personal expression has become a very important skill in certain areas such as job interviews and self-introduction. As personal expression becomes a unique method in describing personality, there are also various ways to reinforce personal expression. For instance, wearing adaptable clothes, taking speech class, and wearing makeup are all forms of unique personal expression. Ironically, individuals may not choose tattoos to describe their personality as their first choice. Tattoos are still considered bad and cause people to horribly judge those who are tattooed. We are scared of people who have tattoos on their body, and we quickly judge them from our perspective. However, if we go back to our ancient histories, tattooing was considered divine and used by many cultures to describe religious beliefs, declarations of love, and adornments. Moreover, in modern days the tattoo still has been used by individuals to express their personality or fashion. Tattooing is not dirty or fearful; it has become the new mainstream in our society.

Although we often see tattoos these days, individuals claim that tattooing is still dirty and dangerous. There is always an argument why tattooing is not safe. The lack of understanding in tattooing is one of the reasons people have the argument. Many uneducated individuals believe that all tattoo shops are not clean, and shops always use the same needles for performing tattoos repeatedly. Individuals also believe that all tattoo artists use uncertified materials. However, tattoo artists typically show the new needle package and approved inks to the customer before starting the tattoo. Although tattoo artists provide all safety materials for tattoos, anything containing chemical material has risks. For instance, blood- borne diseases, skin infections and disorders, allergic and MRI complications are all potential results of getting a tattoo. However, as the demand for tattoos increases, the U.S. FDA bans harmful materials and provides relevant information for the individual who wants a tattoo such as confirming banned materials, and listing the best steps for receiving tattoos. Tattoo shops also provide the customer with the comfort of knowing their facilities are clean. Tattoos are not only given in dirty prisons or sidestreets, but also in safe environments. Certified tattoo studios follow a strict procedure in administering tattoos. The strict procedures are provided by the government to keep the recipient safe. For instance, before receiving tattoos, the recipient must complete paperwork that includes the recipient’s name, age and address. Tattoo artists explain the ossible side effects of the tattoo to the recipient. By pre-drawing the design before beginning the tattoo, the artist can minimize the dissatisfaction of the tattoos. Tattoo studios follow the applicable state and local regulations and laws. Tattoo studios have a license that qualifies them under state requirement to perform tattoos. When certifying a license the studio takes into account the customer’s safety.

American flags, religious images, and tattoos of names are common types of tattoos these days. It is not difficult to find these tattoos from one person to the next. We also can easily see visible tattoos on TV shows or celebrities. Well- known English soccer player, David Beckham, has multiple visible tattoos on his body. Individuals say that David’s tattoos are very beautiful, and it makes him very sexy. Many tattoo artists say that since individuals have seen David’s tattoos, they want to have the same tattoos. According to a fall 2006 survey by the Pew Research Center, thirty-six percent of people ages 18 to 25, and 40 percent of people ages 26 to 40, have at least one tattoo. Although, as the number of people with tattoos has been increasing, visible tattoos are still a social issue these days. One thing is certian-- there will always be people who stereotype against those who have tattoos. They insist that having tattoos means that person has a bad reputation and it is a bad visual influence too. This, of course, could be true, but they should take the time to fully understand the meaning of the tattoo, and they should know that people with tattoos are hurt by impersonal judgment. It seems that there is no shelter for people with tattoos.

The work place is no exception. According to CNN News author, Michelle Goodman, there still have been unacceptable issues in the work place in regard to tattoos. Sara Champion used to be a project engineer for one of the country’s top construction firms. She was fired because her visible tattoos were against company policy. In general, tattoos and body piercings are not recommended attire in the workplace. According to Washington Post writer, Jennifer Harper, “Body art can lead to stereotyping, stigmatization and prejudices in the workplace.” They surveyed 150 people, some with body art, some not, and the vast majority was put off by body art. It’s wise to conceal body art when at work.”By having a dress code, strict company policy prevents people from receiving tattoos, even for their religious practice, or freedom of expression. This is definitely discrimination. As some companies make the statement of policy for maintaining their legal movement, their statement should be confronted with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission standard (EEOC). According to EEOC, “the law forbids retaliation when it comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term of condition of employment.” There was a remarkable lawsuit case in 2005. EEOC claimed a new restaurant manager refused Edward Rangel, a server employed at the restaurant, to keep working. Edward has tattoos for this religion. Since he began working at the restaurant there were no complaints from customers or another employees. Once new manager, Red Robin, came to the restauraant, Rangel was fired because he had tattoos for religious reason. Rangel was rewarded with $150,000 in damages, according to (2005). The unequal compromise in the work place and stereotyping has biased individuals against getting tattoos in our society. However, the popularity of tattoos has been continuously increasing with little interruption. Individuals must know that tattooing is not illegal. It is a fashion code as well as company dress code.

Although, there are huge rumors of the tattoo being dangerous, dirty, and creating a bad image, one thing everyone agrees on is that for thousands of years, humans have marked their bodies with tattoos, for many reasons. Many cultures use tattoos to express religious belief, adornments, and declarations of love. According to, JoAnn Fletcher, researcher in the department of archaeology at the University of York in England, describes “ the history of tattoo and cultural significance from the iceman, a mummified human body dating back to 3300 B.C, to today’s Maori, who are the indigenous people of New Zealand, they are Polynesian and make up at least 14 percent of the country’s population. Tattooing was a traditional affair and was a part of a cultural metaphor for leadership. When a young chief got a tattoo, it was a meaningful moment. The pain and risk of death in tattooing gave the young chief controllable power by the tribal.

As ancient people used tattooing for different purposes, modern people also ascribe meaning into a tattoo such as memory, decoration, and self- expression. A tattoo is not a holy terror of something surprising popping up in our society. It has already existed in human life as history. As self – expression has become an essential part of modern society, the tattoo is truly just an old-fashioned means of expression rising in popularity again. Moreover, individuals have already used the tattoo to remind them of a valuable memory. For instance, my grandfather got a tattoo when he was in army during the Korean War. When I was young, I really hated to go swimming with my grandfather. People looked at me and his big tattoo. I felt separated from society. But everything has changed. I still remember a saying my grandfather told me before he pased away: “To record makes memories.” I have no idea about the Korean War, but I am able to feel a part of what my grandfather felt and learned from the War. One of the best things of human existence would be a memorial of one’s life or experience. Now, I am really proud of my grandfather because he gave me a memorable image. As I have experienced, if someone left a message, men and women could learn valuable information or life lessons. It also passes down through generations. For example, for a person who lost a family member or friend, a tattoo can represent a memorial and remind them of valuable lessons that person taught them. The memorial and valuable lesson is not only meaningful for people who have them, but it is also educational to others forever. It really does not matter what type of tattoos individual have because all types tattoos are able to represent meaningful questions and answers. By tattooing we are able to begin our own journey, like Columbus.

Free «The Basis of Religion Fate » Essay Sample

The Basis of Religion Fate

Paul: I Corinthians 15

Paul discusses a number of issues regarding the Christian faith in his letter to the Corinthians. In his address, he acknowledges Jesus Christ’s resurrection, delves into matters concerning death and eternal life in heaven, discusses the confidence and faith of Christians as well as the human body and the spiritual body. According to Paul, those who labor in the Christian faith would not be disappointed by the Lord. That by being unmovable and standing steadfast in the Christian faith one would be changed and would acquire victory, even in death, through the Lord Jesus Christ.

The death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ according to the Christian faith is what leads Paul to the conclusion that there’s life after death. If Christians fail to accept that the dead are resurrected, then he says that they lack faith in Christ’s resurrection and this is tantamount to claiming that the preachers have lied and are thus false witnesses of God in support of his conclusion on the resurrection of the dead. If the dead are not resurrected, then it means that Jesus Christ was not raised from the dead and such a person who does not believe in the resurrection of the dead lacks faith and is therefore a sinner and would as a result perish.

Simply put, Paul’s analogy about the body that dies and that which resurrects means that when one dies, it is the natural body that is gone, the resurrection of the dead simply imlies life in the form of a spiritual body: that is a different life from that before death.  Through the use of an analogy, Paul has been able to convey the message in an explainable way. It would have been difficult to explain matters of mortality and immortality as well as resurrection, especially to unbelievers. The use of analogy is thus an effective way of elucidating this point. By contrasting Adam with Christ, Paul acknowledges the fact that Adam was the first born of God’s creation of human beings, whereas Christ was the first born from the dead. That analogy previously used is unfit for this explanation and that’s why it has been dropped. Paul unites the two points together by informing that Jesus was a spiritual being whereas Adam had a natural body implying existence of both the natural body and the spiritual as before death and after death respectively.

Thomas Henry Huxley: From Agnosticism and Christianity

Thomas Henry Huxley asserts that the principle of Agnosticism implies that unless one can give evidence to logically support or justify certainty of a given proposition, it is wrong to claim that that is the objective truth. He goes ahead to differentiate Theology from Ecclesiasticism; he says that Theology is in part scientific and in part involves the championship of assumed conclusions regarding how true a given form of Theology is. This aspect of championing foregone conclusions is what he calls Ecclesiasticism. Huxley holdds that whether the ecclesiastical hypotheses are discovered to be untrue, the causes for the development of morality among the human kind would continue to operate.

C.S Lewis: What Christians Believe

Lewis talks about the various conceptions of God in his writing. He discusses Pantheism and a separate view held by the Christians, Mohammedans and the Jews.  Pantheism is the view that God is beyond good and evil, whereas the view held by Mohammedans, Jews and Christians is that God is righteous, good and is a hater of hatred and a lover of love.  My take on his argument on God’s existence is that he fails to convince that God is inexistent. This is because he says he bases this argument on his idea of just and unjust which he admits is a flop. Dualism refers to the belief in the existence of two powers that are equal and independent; good and bad, that fight on the universe an endless war.

In his arguments against dualism, Lewis says that the bad power ought to be someone who appreciates badness just for the sake of it if dualism is to be held true. However, in reality no one loves badness just for the sake of it. Secondly, under dualism, the bad power is unable to supply himself with either the good impulses required to pervert or the good things that are desirous. He is thus supplied these things by the good power, hence the lack of independence. Lastly, everything that makes a bad man effective in being bad are all good things.

Review: From Here to Eternity by Caitlin Doughty

I follow Caitlin on youtube, she’s hilarious and so intelligent, and those are some pretty good reasons to read her books! Are her books just as great as her videos?

Fascinated by our pervasive fear of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty embarks on a global expedition to discover how other cultures care for the dead. From Zoroastrian sky burials to wish-granting Bolivian skulls, she investigates the world’s funerary customs and expands our sense of what it means to treat the dead with dignity. Her account questions the rituals of the American funeral industry—especially chemical embalming—and suggests that the most effective traditions are those that allow mourners to personally attend to the body of the deceased. Exquisitely illustrated by artist Landis Blair, From Here to Eternity is an adventure into the morbid unknown, a fascinating tour through the unique ways people everywhere confront mortality.

I love books about death, because death scares me. I don’t believe in a God (I consider myself agnostic), I don’t believe in a Heaven and Hell (though I wish I did!), so what happens after death freaks me out. I love watching Caitlin’s videos because she approaches it all with science, wit, and complete acceptance. And this book is exactly the same!

This is the most respectful book I’ve ever read. Most books about ‘different’ cultures, only feature about one non-white culture, and are all like: “LOok how strange and different and weird this is!!1!!!” and this book isn’t, at all. Caitlin gives everyone the same love and same respect and it’s amazing. Nobody is weird, it’s all just a way to deal with grief and it’s amazing.

I love the stories that were chosen and I wish there were more! And it’s so inclusive, it isn’t just about America or Europe, like most books are,  but actually different cultures and their ways to deal with grief and how we can learn things from it.

I don’t know how to describe this amazing book without talking about the entire book and spoiling it. I highly recommend you watching the youtube series and if you like her, you will 100% like her book. If you want to learn more about death and the way people deal with it, I highly recommend this book. If you are a person I highly recommend it!

I gave this book 5 stars on Goodreads and you can get your copy here!
