chair and table design. Friday , November 17th , 2017 - 20:58:01 PM
Quote from Compact Bistro Table and Chairs :
French design for bistro chairs and table is one of the most popular designs that are created for home interior design. The design is simple and focused on simplicity and functionality. Additionally, we can also see colorful design implemented in the furniture just like other types of modern French furniture design. This furniture design is especially good if used in a home with contemporary home interior design. The reason of this is because a French bistro table and chairs will make the home interior design looks more colorful and attractive due to its unique and simple design.

Press Note
Nirmala Institute of Education is offering a M.A. Degree Program in Wellness Counselling approved by the Goa University for training professional counsellors for Education and Industry.
In his Inaugural Address as President of the American Psychological Association, Professor Martin Seligman proposed the idea that the ultimate goal of a professional psychologist is to help people attain happiness in their lives. They have been generally doing it by helping people to overcome mental disorders and dysfunctions through a variety of therapies, or, more positively, by teaching them to get to know their strengths and to make use them to achieve a happy life.
Prof. Seligman says that happiness has three dimensions that can be cultivated: the Pleasant Life, the Good Life, and the Meaningful Life. We achieve the Pleasant Life by learning to savour and appreciate such basic pleasures as companionship, the natural environment, and our body needs. We can remain pleasantly stuck at this stage, or we can move on to experience the Good Life which is achieved by getting to know our unique talents and strengths and by using them creatively to enhance our own lives and those of others. Modern psychology tells us that life is only genuinely satisfying if we discover value within ourselves, and this we can do by developing our unique strengths and contributing to the happiness of our fellow humans. The final stage is the Meaningful Life in which we find a deep sense of fulfilment by employing our unique strengths for a purpose greater than ourselves.
The Wellness Counselling approach brings together the apparently conflicting views of human happiness, the individualistic approach which emphasizes that we should nurture our own strengths, and the altruistic approach that involves commitment to a greater purpose.
Occupational wellness entails seeking personal satisfaction and enrichment in one's life through work. The occupational wellness psychologists contributes one's unique gifts, skills and talents to a work that is personally meaningful and rewarding. Being occupationally well allows the counsellor to find personal self-fulfilment and to make a contribution to the well-being of the community at large. Research indicates that having a satisfying work life positively impacts physical and emotional health.
The Wellness Psychologist, working in an industrial organization, helps workers to:
- Develop skills that are functional and transferable
- Choose careers which are consistent with their personal values interests and beliefs
- Learn to accurately assess their strengths and weaknesses
- Explore their talents and interests
- Maintain healthy work-life balance
- Seek professional development opportunities
- Participate in an internship
These functions are similar to those performed by the Human Resource Manager, but the outcome is often more effective because of the person-oriented approach of the wellness psychologist which is different from that of a "manager" who focuses more on completing the job than on the wellness of the person. The Wellness Counselling Program will help you to identify your strengths and talents and to develop them, and to guide others to do the same.

You can change the spacing between words and letters using InDesign's kerning and tracking features. You can also control the overall spacing of text in a paragraph by using the single-line or multi-line composers.
About tracking and kerning
Kerning is the process of adding or subtracting space between specific pairs of characters. Tracking is the process of loosening or tightening a block of text.
You can automatically kern type using metrics kerning or optical kerning. Metrics kerning uses kern pairs, which are included with most fonts. Kern pairs contain information about the spacing of specific pairs of characters. A sample of these are: LA, P., To, Tr, Ta, Tu, Te, Ty, Wa, WA, We, Wo, Ya, Yo, and yo. InDesign uses metrics kerning by default so kern pairs are automatically honored when you import or type text.
Some fonts include robust kern-pair specifications. However, when a font includes only minimal built-in kerning or none at all, or if you use two different typefaces or sizes in one or more words on a line, you may want to use the optical kerning option. Optical kerning adjusts the spacing between adjacent characters based on their shapes.

text: More of a sandwich and deli place than a bakery. This is a tiny, charming, sun-filled eatery in Mendocino Village. Only about a half-dozen stools along with window across from a cooler filled with delicious deli offerings (sandwiches, salads, baked goods, wraps, etc). My husband and I split a great chicken salad sandwhich ($5.50) n locally made wheat bread. Chicken salad had lots of tasty chunks of chicken, celery, raisins, nuts, apples. Potato salad ($3/lb) was also delicious with a little celery seed to give it extra flavor. Extremely nice people own the shop and gave us lots of suggestions on what to do around town. A perfect break from the expensive, formal options in Mendocino.

Christmas at Chapter one, Manchester
I had a last minute call to cover a Christmas party in Manchester at quite possibly the nicest book shop I have ever visited, the food is great and the staff are lovely. If you are in the area I'd highly recommend a visit here.
They used a room at the back of the store, that was decorated very simply but created quite an intimate feel. Stunning is the only word to describe it, Dana the organiser did a very good job and surprised us all with a song on stage, shortly before the sultry sirens put on a Christmas show, organised by Jay.
As I said it's well worth a visit!

No abortion outside of extenuating circumstances should be permitted
|Voting Style:
|Point System:
|7 Point
|3 years ago
|Post Voting Period
|2,705 times
|Debate No:
Myself and Envisage have agreed to have this debate on whether or not abortion should be permitted.
First, let me clarify the resolution:
Abortion: The deliberate termination of a human foetus
Extenuating circumstances: Pregnancies that are life-threatening to the mother
Permitted: Allowed to take place by the governing body of the society in which the person resides. In cases of abortion, this will be the government.
- No over-reliance on semantic arguments
- No sociological kritiks (e.g advocacy of the abolition of government)
- No new arguments in round 4, only rebuttals
R1: Acceptance
R2: Constructive case, no rebuttals yet
R3: Rebuttals
R4: Final rebuttals and closing statements
If Envisage disputes any of the above terms of this debate, I invite him to voice his concerns in the comments section.
I thank Philocat for accepting my challenge to this topic. *Cracks neck*
This will be fun!
What is Government? - The ethical foundation for what is and isn't permitted.
Goverment is defined as 'the group of people with the authority to govern a country or state; a particular ministry in office.' (1)
It goes without saying that the government's purpose is to create a stable society - otherwise it has no substantial role. Therefore, we are justified in saying that the government ought to create a stable society [a]. It can only do this by instigating laws.
What phiosophical basis is behind these laws? Considering that the government ought to create a stable society, it follows that the principles that are most conducive to a stable society are the principles upon which the government ought to create its laws.
I propose that laws based upon the principle of utility are the most conducive to a stable society. This is because utility is essential to all human existence and living, and hence it is the most prudent principle upon which to make laws. [b]
To clarify what this principle is:
'the principle of utility is meant that principle which approves or disapproves of every action whatsoever according to the tendency it appears to have to augment or diminish the happiness of the party whose interest is in question: or, what is the same thing in other words to promote or to oppose that happiness. I say of every action whatsoever, and therefore not only of every action of a private individual, but of every measure of government.' (2)
In other words, when the government makes laws, it ought to maximise the happiness and minimise the unhappiness of all beings that are affected by the law. If a law both increases happiness and increases unhappiness for different people, the net-happiness should be calculated to ascertain whether the law ought to be introduced.
Therefore, I can conclude that the principle of utility is the philosophical basis for what the government should or should not permit.
Consider the following law:
'Abortion is not permitted (apart from extenuating circumstances)'.
I argue that this law ought to be enforced by the government because its existence promotes a greater net-happiness for the parties involved than what would otherwise be promoted if this law did not exist.
The implications of this law are as follows:
The law exists: Hundreds of (illegal) abortions take place
The law does not exist: Millions of (legal) abortions take place
Therefore, more abortions will take place if it is permitted by the government.
So now let's do a utilitarian calculation.
With the average abortion scenario, the following happiness/unhappiness is generated:
1. The foetus loses ~80 years of happiness [c]
2. The mother loses ~9 months of happiness [d]
3. Society is negligibly impacted. The average abortion does not impact society, as the average child-born does not impact society in a significant manner.
From this analysis, we can see that the net-happiness is +~79 years worth of happiness if abortion does not occur, whereas it is -~79 years worth of happiness if it does.
It is clear that, on balance, abortion should not be permitted because permitting it would cause a net-decrease in happiness.
P1: The government ought to promote a stable society.
P2: Laws based upon the principle of utility are most conducive to a stable society.
C1: The government ought to base laws upon the principle of utility
P3: The banning of abortion would be cause more happiness to the parties involved than the permitting of it.
C: The government ought to not permit abortion.
Hence I affirm the resolution
[a] This does not commit the is/ought problem because the purpose of something contains what that something ought to do. For example, a clock's purpose is to tell the time; therefore a clock ought to tell the time. If one does not understand what a clock ought to do then they do not really know what a clock really is. If X's purpose is to do Y, then X ought to do Y.
[b] Every justification for human actions eventually rest upon the maximising of happiness and the minimising of unhappiness, and as the government is a group of people it can only really justify its actions by appealing to the maximisation of happiness as well. To deny this is to deny a fundamental part of human nature. Furthermore, society will be most stable if the laws are based upon the same foundation as people's personal morality (which is based upon the principle of utility)- since there would be less dissension.
[c] The average lifespan for a child born in the UK is 81 years (4). If it is aborted, it will lose all the happiness contained within those 81 years. Note that this rests upon the fair assumption that life generally contains more happiness than unhappiness, as otherwise we would have no reason to not all commit suicide right now. Even if one envisions an unhappy future, that future is still valuable insofar as it has the potential to contain happiness.
[d] This is an overestimation, since it assumes that an expectant mother does not experience any happiness during pregnancy (which is evidently false). Moreover, it assumes that having an abortion would make the mother happier than if she did not have it. This may be the case, but not necessarily so.

I thank Pro for his opening arguments.
Thank you Envisage :)
I am in agreement with Con when he states that 'we cannot allow infinite liberty for all people, and a limited government, which rules when one's liberty impinges on another'. This is essentially J.S Mill's Harm Principle:
'The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilised community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.' (1)
The disagreement in this debate it whether abortion constitutes significant 'harm to others' and hence whether power can be rightfully exercised upon women to prevent them from having an abortion.
Women's Bodily Rights
I accept Con's premise that bodily autonomy is a genuine right, although I dispute that this is applicable to human pregnancy to the extent that it justifies the killing of a human foetus.
If we define bodily autonomy as the liberty to control one's body, then clearly we recognise that this is a right. However, in accordance to the harm principle, this liberty cannot be extended to the point at which it harms others. For example, I have the bodily autonomy to control my fists, but not to the extent where I can punch someone (since this causes harm). As Zechariah Chafee wrote:
'Your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins' (2)
Does abortion harm the foetus? Consider the definition of harm:
'Physical injury, especially that which is deliberately inflicted' (3)
Clearly, a foetus is physically injured (since it is killed) and it is deliberately inflicted (as defined in R1).
Therefore, according to the Harm Principle [a], the right to abortion is not entailed by the right to bodily autonomy.
Con likens being prevented from having an abortion to being forced to donate organs. Clearly, in the latter scenario, someone has the liberty to withhold the use of their organs and hence the government ought to not enforce it even in cases where it would be life-saving.
However, I argue that abortion-prevention is not analogous to forced-organ-donation. For multiple reasons:
1. There is a difference between declining to donate an organ and hence causing someone's death, and directly killing that person. If I refuse to donate my organ to someone I probably won't even be reproached by society, yet if I was to slit that person's throat I would be most likely be jailed. Clearly therefore, the government places a significant distinction between the two actions, even if the outcome is the same. This is because people don't have a right to have organs donated to them to sustain their life, but people do have a negative right not to be killed. Since abortion is the direct killing of the foetus, this infringes upon this latter right, not the former (because the former is not a genuine right). The fallacy within the bodily-autonomy argument is that it wrongly presumes that pro-lifers appeal to the foetus's right to be sustained by the mother, whereas in reality we appeal to the foetus's right not to be killed.
2. In a stable, civilised society, the mother has obligations to ensure the welfare of her offspring, whereas she may not have these obligations to those who are not her offspring. This is why it is illegal to neglect your child whereas it is not illegal to neglect a complete stranger. Therefore, motherhood ascribes certain obligations on a mother to ensure the welfare of her children. Abortion is the ultimate form of neglect, and therefore should be illegal on the same grounds that it is illegal to neglect a born child [b].
Absolute/selective bodily autonomy
For those who advocate bodily autonomy, there are two views:
1. Bodily autonomy cannot be infringed, it is an absolute right
2. Bodily autonomy is a right, but is subject to reasonable parameters (e.g the harm principle).
Abortion can only be justified via bodily autonomy if bodily autonomy is held to be absolute, as otherwise it would fail the reasonable parameters of a selective right to bodily autonomy [d].
However, the view that bodily autonomy is absolute is absurd. When someone says 'I have a right to X', they are essentially saying that 'my body has a right to X', since we are essentially the same as our bodies.
Therefore, if one is to say that they have a right to bodily autonomy then this is synonymous with saying that they have a right to autonomy. If this right is absolute, then it would follow that we have an unalienable right to do whatever the hell we want. Clearly, we have no such right [c] so therefore (reductio ad absurdum) bodily autonomy is not absolute.
Since the bodily-autonomy argument presupposes that bodily autonomy is an absolute right, it is an invalid argument because the presupposition is patently false.
Health Risks
Whilst it is true that childbirth is riskier than abortion, it is still very unlikely that childbirth will be fatal. If it looks like it will, then abortion is justified because it is classed as 'extenuating circumstances'. But the other health risks of pregnancy don't justify abortion either, since we are not justified in killing others in order to improve our health. For example, bringing up a toddler can cause stress, anxiety and other health issues, yet it does not follow that the mother is justified in killing her toddler in order to improve her health [d].
The foetus
Con attempts to distinguish why society disapproves of killing an adult human but not a foetus by appealing to identity and memory. However, I will now demonstrate that neither identity or memories affect the morality of killing.
Con postulates that a 'sense of identity' is necessary for having freedom and liberty. However, numerous counterexamples exist. For example, this criterion would mean that comatose/unconscious people have no liberty (including the freedom not to be killed). Yet clearly the government maintains the liberty of unconscious people.
Therefore, neither identity, rationality, thought or intelligence remove one's liberties. Since an unconscious person retains their liberty despite having no sense of identity or rational thought.
Memory & Values
Con seems to imply that killing is justified before the age of two years old, since we do not retain memories before that age. Aside from this justifying infanticide (which is illegal), Con does not demonstrate the connection between the permissibility of killing and the remembering of past events (memories).
What he also implies is that abortion is justified because a foetus does not value its liberty. However, it is not demonstrated that one can only have liberty if they value it. It is a bare assertion.
I would argue that the valuing of liberty is not a prerequisite to having liberty itself. For example, a slave born into slavery does not know the concept of autonomous living or being free from slavery, and hence would not value freedom. However, it does not follow that the slave owner is justified in keeping this slave simply because the slave does not value the liberty of freedom.
Therefore, one does not have to value their liberty in order to have liberty; therefore a foetus can still qualify as a being that has human liberties.
Both of Con's attempts to remove a foetus's liberty are invalid, and hence the foetus retains basic liberties [f] (namely the liberty not to be killed).
Con argues that abortion in cases of rape is justified because it will otherwise force a woman to carry her rapists child to full term and then be forced to raise the child for two decades.
Firstly, the latter is simply false (it can be put up for adoption). Furthermore, Con makes the false assumption that having an abortion in these cases would increase the welfare of the woman.
David Reardon interviewed over 200 women who became pregnant via rape, and found that out of all of those who chose to birth their child, the majority thought that it was the right thing to do. In contrast, more than 80% of those who chose to abort felt that it increased their pain. (4).
Therefore, abortion is not justified in cases of rape because there is no reason to suppose that it actually helps the rape victim, and it even suggests that it negatively affects them.
Illegal/legal abortion
There are multiple problems with this argument:
1. Women are not forced to have an illegal abortion (if they are, those who are forcing them ought to be arrested), and hence they accept the risks of abortion by choosing to have one. In short, they take responsibility for their own welfare so it is no longer the government's concern.
2. Banning abortion would deter most women from having one. (5)
3. Most illegal abortions are done by 'reputable physicians in good standing in their local medical associations' (6), not shady people in back alleys with rusty coat-hangers.
4. Legalising abortions has little causal effect, if any, on their safety. From this graph (http://prolifeaction.org...), you can observe that the safety of abortions was increasing due to better medical technology, with legalisation having little effect.
[a] Which is essential to a stable society; it clearly defines the extent to which the government can infringe upon out liberties.
[b] Whether a child is still in its mother's womb is irrelevant to the parental obligations of the mother.
[c] If we did, then there would be no such thing as a just law or a stable society.

Defence of utilitarianism
Utility is essential to all human existence because everything we do, we do it for utility. The single reason why a person does something is that he believes that doing so will increase the happiness of himself or others. We simply cannot act without justifying our action by appealing to utility.
Even the existence of rights and liberties only serves to maximise peoples' happiness. If people would generally be more happy without rights or liberties, then we would not value them. Hence Con is misguided in implying that rights and liberties form the basis of a governmental ethic. Instead, rights and liberties are extrinsically valuable insofar as they lead to a happier end. Therefore, it is happiness that forms the basis of a governmental ethic.
Note that, by affirming utilitarianism, all I am asserting is that the government ought to make laws on the basis of maximising happiness for all parties involved. I am definitely not asserting that the government ought to maximise happiness on a case-by-case basis, since this goes beyond the government's role as a legislative authority. This is essentially rule utilitarianism, where we make laws on the principle of maximising peoples' happiness.
Con states that:
'a utopian society with maximal happiness for all is not possible'
Which I agree with, but it does not follow that the government is wrong to attempt to maximise happiness. To use an analogy, it is not possible to totally eliminate poverty, but it does not follow that we ought not to attempt to eliminate poverty.
Next, he writes:
'political devices, such as human rights (of which I affirmed liberty is one of the most fundamental) are required, which does not entail maximising happiness on a case-by-case basis.'
Whilst they (rights) do not entail maximising happiness on a case-by-case basis, they entail maximising happiness if a rule is instigated that enforces them. If we have a law that states 'everyone shall have human rights', then the presence of this law will cause more net happiness for the people involved than the absence of the law. This is the reason why human rights exist, because their existence maximises overall net utility.
If legally-enforced human rights caused a net decrease in happiness for the people involved, then there would be no reason to have them. This is because human rights only exist because their existence causes an increase in net happiness, even if this does not happen in each individual situation where rights conflict with utility.
Quantifying happiness
Although we cannot exactly define happiness, we can still recognise both the presence and magnitude of it. Generally, there are things that we almost universally find to be conducive to happiness; such as life, liberty, love and knowledge - so even if we cannot exactly quantify happiness, we can still recognise an increase of happiness as well as compare people's happiness.
Furthermore, most humans are involved in the 'pursuit of happiness', viz. the existential drive to seek happiness. Since the pursuit of happiness will most likely lead to some form of happiness, it follows that we can also maximise happiness by maximising one's opportunity to pursue happiness. This is where liberty comes in as a concept that serves to maximise happiness. So utility does not necessarily have to know what happiness is defined as, it just needs to allow the maximising of happiness indirectly by allowing the pursuit of happiness.
Con presents two scenarios.
Scenario 1 has a greater net happiness, yet is far more imbalanced than scenario 2. Con argues that this presents a case where stable society =/= more net happiness.
The fallacy here is that this examines specific scenarios. This is classical utilitarianism whereas I argue for rule utilitarianism. Whilst it is true that scenario 1 would have more happiness in the enclosed bubble of that scenario, if this scenario was applied to everyone throughout wider society [a] then the lack of equality would lead to an unstable society. An unstable society would lead to overall unhappiness and hence have negative utility.
As we can see yet again, everything comes back to happiness at the end of the day. In individual cases, enforcing equality can lead to less happiness, but for a whole society, the overall happiness is maximised by having equality.
Transplant Surgeon objection
Again, this objection only rebukes classical utilitarianism. This is a straw-man fallacy because my tenet of a utilitarian-based legislative body emphasises rule utilitarianism.
Whereas classical utilitarianism ignores rights and privileges (because there are cases where happiness can be increased when we disregard rights), rule utilitarianism upholds them because it recognises that a society will generally be happier if we establish certain rights.
Rule utilitarianism would disallow the killing of a man to harvest his organs because if this was allowed throughout society, people would not trust doctors, be afraid to go to hospital and consequently have poor health. This would cause an overall decrease in happiness.
'Rape culture' reductio
Con misunderstands the principle of utility, it is not:
'Maximise happiness'
instead, it is:
'Maximise happiness for all parties involved'.
The former has absurd conclusions because it includes potential beings as well (of which there are near-infinite amount of) which would render it impossible to pragmatically assess the utility of a certain law. The latter only considers actual beings, which is much more pragmatic because there is the ability to know (roughly) the resultant utility of our actions by seeing how it will affect those involved.
Con's argument is actually a rebuttal of the principle of 'maximise happiness', yet this is not what I argued for. I argued for the latter principle. Hence this reductio is another straw man fallacy.
Happiness Per Person
I affirm that the principle of utility I support concerns happiness per person (HPP). This applies to abortion in the way I presented.
In cases of abortion, there are two persons significantly affected. The mother and the foetus. With a law based on the principle of utility, we should consider the comparative HPP of the foetus and the mother. It just so happens that the foetus stands to lose a greater HPP than the mother if the abortion is carried out, so it follows that the law should ban abortion.
This does not, as Con implies, entail the growth of the population. This is because potential human beings are not actual human beings, and hence are not considered when comparing HPP. In contrast, a foetus is an actual, not potential, human being (1). Therefore when we consider HPP, a foetus should be considered in this.
So my argument definitely does not entail that we ought to maximise the population, all it entails is that we ought to maximise the happiness of each person within the population.
When Con states:
'When applied to Pro's argument, it no longer follows that by allowing an "extra 71 years of utility" by adding a new person to the population is most concoctive to a stable society, and nor can it.'
He demonstrates a fatal misunderstanding. This is because not-aborting doesn't add a new person to the population. The person already exists in the population! [b] Hence the government ought to consider their happiness when making laws.
Illegal/legal abortions
Con states that I haven't provided 'a shred of evidence' to support my claim that prohibiting abortion would reduce the frequency of abortion. This is completely false. My source in Round 3 stated that banning abortion would deter most women from having one. (R3 source 5).
Furthermore, a study concluded that the number of abortions decreased by 22.22% from 1990 to 2005, and wrote that 'one factor that played a role was the increased amount of anti-abortion legislation that was passed at the state level.' (4)
Liberty of the foetus
Con continues to present differences between adult humans and foetuses, yet fails to demonstrate why these are relevant differences.
Con moves the goalposts here from 'sense of identity' to 'subconscious memory of identity'. Again, he has yet to explain why this is relevant to the liberty of a person. He presents a modified analogy where someone is both comatose and amnesiac. Oddly, Con thinks that it would be okay to kill this person. Although if Con was comatose and amnesiac, I imagine he wouldn't be happy with being killed!
I accept that a foetus is presently just a cluster of cells. But we must consider the future of the person in a utilitarian calculation (since the past is irrelevant and the present infintesimal). It is a fact that a foetus will feel pain/pleasure in the future. A rodent, which may be more sensous in the present, has little capacity to develop in the future.
Con makes the comparison with how the government supports the killing of brain-dead patients. But this is only in cases where there is no chance that they will live a future life. If it is known that a brain-dead patient will recover and live a long life thereafter, then the government certainly wouldn't be justified in killing them. Yet the latter scenario is more analogous to a foetus.
Whilst it is true that we value identity, we also value having identity in the future (I value having identity next year). Since a foetus has future identity, society should value a foetus.
(out of characters)
[a] As a rule utilitarianism-based government would do.
[b] Population is defined as 'the body of inhabitants of a place' (2) and 'inhabitant' is defined as 'a person... that inhabits a place'(3). Since a foetus is a person (1), it is an inhabitant and therefore a member of the population.

Bridesmaid Polly
This week Polly is being a bridesmaid in her friend's awesome wedding. It's a fun garden wedding where everyone will do rock and roll dancing and drink lots.
Converse shoes are a must for comfort plus the colour is perfect with the green dress. A petticoat is a must for comfort and to bring the dress really out. Bright coloured flowers, false eyelashes, pearl necklace, pearl skull earrings and bright red lips and nails really complete the outfit.
She's going to have one nasty hangover tomorrow but some awesome memories!
Wanna play along? It's fun, a little bit mean (limitless, free credit card anyone?), perfect procrastination and if you are anything like me you won't be able to stop at just one!
Check out other Polly Dollies at Danimezza. While you're there check out Danimezza's other posts. She is one happening woman!

Preview: Magic at Bucks
The Orlando Magic look to carry over their solid play from before the All Star break with six of the next seven on the road, starting with a visit to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. The Magic won three of their last four games, including home victories over conference leaders Indiana (East) and Oklahoma City (West), but own the league's worst road record (3-23). Injury-ravaged Milwaukee has lost four in a row and 19 of its last 21 to stand last in the NBA with nine wins.

FRENCH ISLAMIST Who Shot 4 Dead at Brussels Jewish Museum — WAS ISIS GUARD
On Saturday May 24, 2014, a gunman killed four people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels.
The man filmed his attack with a camera mounted on his chest.
The shooter was was later captured in France.
He reportedly had ties to radical Islamists in Syria.
Mehdi Nemmouche was carrying a rifle, handgun and a video camera when he was arrested stepping off a bus in Marseille. (Telegraph)
Now this…
A former ISIS hostage says Mehdi Nemmouche was an ISIS guard.
FOX News reported:
A French journalist who was held hostage by ISIS until his release earlier this year has identified one of his torturers as the suspect in the deadly shooting at the Jewish Museum in Brussels.
The Daily Telegraph reported that Nicolas Henin had confirmed the identity of Mehdi Nemmouche as one of his captors in an article written for the French magazine Le Point. The Telegraph reported that Henin had decided to speak up about his experience after the French newspaper Le Monde quoted French intelligence sources naming Nemmouche as an ISIS member.
Nemmouche is currently awaiting trial in the May 24 shooting, in which he is accused of killing an Israeli couple and a French woman who were visiting the museum, as well as a Begian man who worked there. Nemmouche was arrested six days later in the southern French city of Marseille.
Henin was released from captivity in April along with three other French journalists. His lawyer, Marie-Laure Ingouf, told the Telegraph that the other three men had also recognized Nemmouche from their time in captivity. The Telegraph reports that the four were at one point held alongside American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, both of whom were beheaded by ISIS in recent weeks.
In the article, Henin describes Nemmouche as sadistic, saying "When Nemmouche was not singing, he was torturing. He was part of a small group of Frenchmen whose visits would terrify the 50-odd Syrian prisoners held in the cells nearby." The journalist adds that the jihadist used to taunt him, saying "You see these motorbike gloves? I bought them to hit you. Only for you. Do you like them?"

Growing numbers of patients, clutching Internet printouts and timely new studies, are marching into their physicians' offices around the country, sometimes knowing more about their disease and ways to treat it than their doctors. In 1999, more than 25 million adults reported going online to find health-related information. This explosion of medical knowledge is changing how medicine is practiced. It enables patients to make more informed decisions and gain more control over procedures and treatment options.
One such example is men with prostate cancer. "We're seeing a unique phenomenon happening here where men have become the shoppers for treatment options while women with breast cancer waste no time getting aggressive procedures," explained Dr. Jerry D. Slater, vice chairman of radiation medicine at Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC) in southern, California. " The men we see with prostate cancer are very motivated, they want to learn everything they can about their disease and possible treatment side effects. There's a ton of research information on the Internet and we're finding that men learn quickly that they face an array of treatment options. Sometimes it can be confusing. But a majority of those who do come here seeking proton therapy for their prostate cancer were detected early, have done their homework, sorted out the alternatives, and primarily are looking to avoid surgery. Having some peace of mind about their quality of life is a priority."
Why? Because if detected early, prostate cancer is curable. But it is also the most common male cancer, striking more than 180,000 American men each year. It's the second leading cause of cancer death in men and is expected to take the lives of some 32,000 Americans this year.
With early detection, the odds are very high the disease can be controlled or cured. Especially when the cancer is confined to the prostate gland. Yet, many men won't have the gland surgically removed. The fear is facing sexual impotency and urinary incontinence. Which is why many men are opting for non-invasive proton therapy.
Recently, one of the largest surveys of men who had their cancerous prostates removed found that nearly 60 percent were impotent and more than 8 percent lacked bladder control more than 18 months later. The study, reported in the January issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, was done by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. The study noted that "it's important for men to know the full range of outcomes. Quite a substantial portion of the men studied are impotent. It clearly has a large effect on their quality of life. Its important that men know that before going into surgery."
The new study looked at a broad population of men treated at community medical centers across six states. Researchers also asked the volunteers -1,291 black, white and Hispanic men aged 39 to 79 years old - to assess their own function, rather than relying on the doctor's report. The new study seems to suggest that the results reflect the true incidence of side effects in the population as a whole.
The primary advantage of proton treatment is the precision of the proton beam and control of the dosage delivered to the tumor site. The proton beam can be delivered directly to the cancer site with significantly reduced or no damage to surrounding healthy cells, tissue or organs. When dealing with the prostate gland, that's a considerable advantage. A recent five-year study of men with early-to-late prostate cancer at LLUMC's Proton Treatment Center tracked nearly 600 men with localized prostate cancer and after five years researchers found that the overall disease-free survival rate was 89 percent with far fewer risks of life-style changes and activity-diminishing side effects commonly associated with x-ray radiation or surgery.
Since it opened its proton center in 1990, Loma Linda has treated nearly 6,000 patients with proton therapy. About half are prostate cancer patients. More information on proton therapy is available by calling 1-800-PROTONS (776-8667). Additional information can be obtained from the LLUMC Web site, www.llu.edu/proton .

CHASE the Jais in the 3.05 at Kempton.
JAISALMER (nap) has improved in leaps and bounds over hurdles. A couple of mistakes found Mark Bradstock's runner out at Plumpton last time in a race that has produced a stack of subsequent winners.
This firmer surface should suit him well.
There are few horses more consistent than EURATO (5.25 Southwell, nb).
He won over course and distance last time and Finley Marsh takes off the valuable 7lb again. He should cope with the 2lb rise for last month's win.
GENERAL TUFTO (3.50 Southwell, treble) is a 13-time winner over track and trip. The 12-year-old proved he was in great heart when not beaten far over 7f here last time and the step back up to a mile is in his favour.

Most Christians agree that Jesus defeated Satan 2000 years ago. So why are believers so pre-occupied with continuing the war on a subjugated force?
- 16
Jesus Never Mentioned Eternal Torment in Hell
Greek mythology has had a detrimental effect on Christianity over the centuries. Let us remove the myths surrounding the Doctrine of Hell by examining in context what Jesus actually said.
- 5
Jesus is 'The Branch'
The Lord Jesus Christ has many descriptive titles. Not only would 'The Branch' build the temple; He would be both High Priest and King.
- 12
Jesus Never Mentioned a Millennium Temple
In my opinion, the spiritual temple described by the Lord Jesus Christ and the New Testament writers is suffering neglect due to Christian infatuation with the building of a temple in Jerusalem.
- 32
Ezekiel's Temple will not be Built in a Future Millennium
To insist on Ezekiel's temple being erected in the millennium, with the re-introduction of animal sacrifices, Levitical priesthood, circumcision, separation of Jew and Gentile, is beyond the pale.
- 11
The Deity of Christ: Jesus did Claim to be God
Only through the perfect and sinless sacrifice of 'God the Son' can we obtain salvation. Contrary to popular opinion, Jesus clearly proclaimed His divinity.
- 36
The Elect, the Remnant, and the Israel of God
There is a popular misconception in Christendom today that God has two separate 'peoples '. In my opinion, God has one people, the Israel of God.

There Never was a Pre-Adamic Race
The Gap Theory was a vain attempt to harmonise the Scriptures with Science. However, problems arose when scholars took Scriptures out of context in an attempt to prove their theory.
- 33
Who is the Bright and Morning Star? Jesus or Lucifer
In my opinion, many scholars have misconstrued Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 in an attempt to explain the origin and character of Satan.
- 20
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath
Why should believers return to a type and shadow while possessing the reality? Jesus is the anti-type of the Sabbath; He is the Lord of the Sabbath.
- 12
Jesus was not Smitten of God
On numerous occasions, I have read articles and heard sermons proclaiming Jesus was smitten of God. After investigation, I was shocked to discover the opposite was true!
- 8
The Atonement: Nothing but the Blood of Jesus
For Dispensationalism to teach the re-establishment of animal sacrifices during a millennium reign of Christ on earth, is totally contrary to the Scriptures.
- 7
Heaven and Earth Will Not Be Destroyed by Fire
Why do many today believe that the New Heavens and a New Earth will arrive at the end of the millennium? Peter wrote this event would take place at the return of Christ...2 Peter 3:11-13.
- 31
The Ascension of Christ and the 'In Like Manner' Question
Many believe Jesus must return 'in like manner' to His ascension, yet in the Scriptures His return is described dramatically different.
- 44
Jesus Never Mentioned a Millennium Reign
Prior to His ascension, Jesus spent 40 days teaching the disciples more on the Kingdom. Yet, during His ministry He never mentioned a millennium reign on earth, or a 2000 years delay. I wonder why!
- 47
The Resurrection and the Heresy of Hymenaeus and Philetus
Did the 1st century Church hold the same beliefs about the Resurrection and the Day of the Lord as mainstream Christianity today?
- 10
New Jerusalem Will Not Physically Descend From Heaven
So much emphasis is on current events surrounding 'earthly' Jerusalem that it is detrimental to our understanding of New Jerusalem.
- 114
The Book of Revelation Was Written Before AD 70
Although 'The Revelation' is the last book in the Bible, it does not mean it was the last book written. It is important to take this into consideration when studying the 'last days'.
- 6
Daniel's '70 Weeks' Prophecy was Fulfilled by AD 70
Studying Daniel's '70 Weeks' prophecy without the baggage of preconceived ideas or unsubstantiated concepts, many may find it is not as difficult to comprehend as first imagined.
- 6
Elijah the Prophet Was Not Taken up to Heaven
If Elijah was 'raptured' to Heaven around 852 BC, how did he write a letter to King Jehoram whose reign did not begin until 848 BC?
- 115
Elijah the Prophet will not Return
Many believe Elijah will return in these so-called 'last days', but this view is contrary to the Scriptures. Jesus said 'Elias is come already, and they knew him not'...Matthew 17:12.
- 19
Adam Died the Day He Ate the Fruit
Do you believe Jesus when He said, 'whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die'? Yet Christians have continued to die over the past 2000 years!
- 30
Nicodemus and the Transforming Power of the Gospel
By no other means but grace, through faith in Christ, are sinners reconciled to God. This article explains the reason why.
- 4
The Great and the Terrible Day of the Lord
The prophets of the Old Testament used metaphorical language to describe Day of the Lord judgement. Jesus also used prophetic language when He described His return!
- 26
Jerusalem Was Babylon the Great, the Mystery Is History
There are many theories as to the identity of Babylon in the Book of Revelation. The Lord expected the 1st century Church to understand the Revelation, so why should it be so difficult today?
- 10
What Jesus Meant by 'This Generation Shall Not Pass'
Jesus often used 'this generation' when warning His evil generation. Many teach that on one of those occasions He referred to a generation thousands of years in the future, but is it true.
- 73
We Are Not Living in the Last Days
Jesus lived during the 'last days' 2000 years ago! The biblical 'last days' applied to the Old Covenant Age prior to the 'Church Age'. So why do people believe we are in the 'last days' today?
- 30
Jesus Never Mentioned a Physical Rapture of the Church
Are you 'rapture ready'? Paul told believers to wait diligently for the 'day of the Lord', which is the return of Christ. Why, if he believed the 'rapture' would occur seven years earlier?
- 4
Jesus Is King of Kings
Jesus preached the Kingdom of God was 'at hand' 2000 years ago, did He get it wrong? Of course He didn't! The Kingdom has come and Christ is on His throne. So why do many today teach otherwise?
- 9
The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus
By reading this parable in context, we may be surprised by its simplicity.
- 6
There Is No Difference Between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven
Many commentators claim the Kingdom of God is spiritual, while the Kingdom of Heaven will be a future kingdom on Earth. In my opinion, there is one spiritual Kingdom.
- 50
Jesus Fulfilled the Promise of His Second Coming
All the New Testament writers mentioned the imminent return of Christ. Jesus said the time was 'at hand', should we therefore conclude Jesus got it wrong?

It was supposed to be the year the Alexei Leonov was sent to rescue the Discovery mission, completely destroyed by the very deranged super computer HAL.
But no. We didn't send any spaceship towards Jupiter in 2001. Probably because we didn't find any monolith on the Moon.
But at least we can use Europa's water if we want to.
Cars are not flying, no inhabited spaceship will be send in the next few years. And we will have to deal with Mars before thinking going to Jupiter anyway, unless a big Monolith appears there.
The Chinese sent a taikonaut on a short trip around earth.
The Indians (the dot, not the feather) are planning something like this for 2030. Who cares? The world is suppose to come to an end by 2012 (if we tell you so).
At least we've avoid the Blade Runner scenario. Not to mention Cosmos 1999.
And we've overpass many of Asimov's expectation in matter of computer sciences. Haven't reach the stage of useful robot though. But I have good hope for the next decade.
2010, that's 10 years after The Bug. We've survived that.
The last 15 years have seen Internet going supernova. This network that William Gibson gets so well in Neuromancer, the first Cyberpunk book ever.
This network and its extension (the infosphere, still waiting for it!) that have been though through by Dan Simmon in Hyperion.
2010, Shanghai will be the showcase of the world for few month. The world expo. The biggest ever. "Better City, Better Life".
Well, if you ask me I can think of few things to make that city slightly better.
No, really. And that without actually removing the Chinese people.
But that could be the subject of another post.
Let's stick to 2010 for now.
2010, that's the year Zenzoo, the company, was founded.
It looks like a promising year after all.

Practical ways to live better on less.
How do you survive on a small salary? Can you get by and even have some fun by following a few tricks and tips? When living on a limited budget, you really need to focus on cutting out major expenses. Just cutting out simple expenditures like coffee isn't going to make that huge of a difference in your available funds.
While difficult, living on a small salary is not impossible. In fact, you can even live good if you find strategic, intelligent ways to stretch your income, such as: setting up a budget, cutting out unnecessary extras, and finding free things to do. Check out my top 15 tips for surviving on a limited income.
1. Cook at home – Dining out several times a week can quickly diminish your paycheck. Giving up going to restaurants several times a week is easily the fastest way to bump up your disposable income. Restaurants are pricey; if you treat them as special occasions you will enjoy the experience more and save yourself a lot of money!
Treat yourself to a nice restaurant on special occasions only and always look on Groupon and LivingSocial for discount vouchers! Cooking at home saves money and is much healthier for you. Finding unique recipes for free online will keep things interesting. I will be offering a healthy, budget friendly, quick & delicious new recipe each week. When heading out for the day, bring with snacks and/or pack a cooler with sandwiches to avoid those pricey restaurant visits.
2. Set up an entertainment budget – Next to dining out, entertainment is often the next priciest luxury that we spend our hard earned money on. Designate a certain % of your income each month towards entertainment and stick to the budget. Once you run out of entertainment funds, you are done for the month. Save money by visiting discount theaters, visiting local parks for free, and having potluck dinners instead of dining out at restaurants.
3. Cut out all bad habits – Get rid of bad, expensive habits like smoking, drinking alcohol, and buying coffee out. All of these habits are not only extremely unhealthy, but they are also very expensive. I don't know about you, but I would rather not spend my money on vices that are damaging my health. Why pay to get sick!
If you can't go without coffee, brew your own at home for a fraction of the cost! Try limiting coffee to one or two cups a day and replacing some cups with a mug of antioxidant packed green or white tea!
4. Find free things to do – Most of us forget how many free activities we really have access to everyday. Stop wasting all your money paying for movies, bars, and shopping! There are plenty of wonderful free things to do such as: going out for a walk, taking a bike ride, or just relaxing at the park. I would rather be out exploring nature any day over walking around a stuffy overcrowded mall.
5. Shop for deals – When living on a small budget, a thrift store can be your best friend. Thrift shops offer great prices on housewares, decor, appliances, and clothing. Not everything in these stores is junk like many people assume; most of it is actually pretty well maintained. Also, visit online shopping sites to compare prices before committing to a purchase.
6. Shop at your local dollar store – I don't care what anyone else thinks, but I have made great use of my local dollar store over the years! Dollar Tree is my favorite as they carry a great selection of gift bags, cards, miscellaneous housewares, cleaning supplies, and other random items. If you need something quick, you can usually find it at your dollar store. Not everything in the store is junk. Check out my Top 10 Buys at Dollar Tree article.
7. Downsize your apartment – Find a cheaper apartment if your rent is taking up more than 30% of your income. You will have more disposable income available at your leisure if you stick to this figure. Finding an apartment below this figure might even help you put a little bit into savings or pay off some debt.
8. Use your bike – I try to get around most places in town by using my bike. I get exercise in while also saving money; what could be a better deal?! Gas (as the prices exist now) often takes up a sizable portion of anyone's monthly expenses. You can really cut this figure down by biking as much as possible.
9. Take public transportation – Public transport is the next best way to get around besides a bike or your own 2 feet. You will save yourself a lot of money, hassle, and parking fees by taking a bus or train. Check around to see if anyone offers a monthly or weekly deal pass.
10. Live without cable – Save a bundle each month by only ordering the local channels. Do you really need 200+ TV channels? You can watch most programs for free on the network's website. Another options is to sign up for a monthly subscription to Netflix. At only $8 per month, Netflix is much cheaper and offers a great selection of full TV series, movies, documentaries, and more!
11. Skip the fancy cell phone & packages – Do you really need internet on your phone and fancy text messaging plans? I hate trying to use the internet on a phone! I would rather just get on a computer and see a full size screen if I need to use the internet. You really don't need to waste money on this extra fee. And who needs the fancy phones & accessories – who cares what your phone looks like!
12. Save money by DIY projects – You can learn to tackle many projects yourself and save money in the process. Car repair, electronic repair, furniture set up, and household design are all DIY projects which you can do yourself to save on major labor costs. If you search online, you will find plenty of how to tutorials. As an added bonus, if your learn enough, you may be able to set up your own side business to make a few extra bucks.
13. Save by using student services – No one wants to give up hair and beauty care when they are struggling. Luckily, student services such as salon and massage allow you to save over 50% on the traditional costs. This is a great way to keep up your monthly personal care without blowing your budget. Find a student massage near you.
14. Spend smart – Don't use credit cards – always carry cash with you. You tend to spend less when you are holding the cash in hand. Don't go crazy around the holidays as overzealous spending can easily cost you the rest of the year. Make your friends and families personal gifts to save money – get creative! Most importantly, always research and budget for big purchases. Ask yourself 3 questions: Do you really need the item/service? Can you find it cheaper? How will you budget/pay for the purchase?
15. Find extra sources of income – If all else fails and you still find yourself coming up short each month, you can always seek new ways to make money. Try finding a second job. Have a garage/yard sale. Sell stuff on eBay. Perform odd jobs on the weekends. Whatever you decide to do will likely provide you with more disposable income each month.
