CC: I found truth mapping to be feature-poor. For example, I can only add a critique, not a rebuttal. I guess that the thread starter can add premises and rebuttals, and everybody else can only add critiques. That makes for a me-against-you debate. But I don't see how it supports a collaborative environment. We need the ability for anybody to make contributions wherever they are relevant.

CC: if it has an advantage, let's see if we can instantiate that in QDL. Is it that you want the premises, critiques, and rebuttals clearly labeled (like issues, ideas, pros, & cons in Deliberatorium)? I was thinking of making the icons in QDL user-selectable. So you could go with the standard gear icon, or you could select a different icon, to designate what kind of item it is. (BTW, who trashed all of the stuff that I entered into the Deliberatorium?)

CharlesChandler wrote:I just think that their site is hard to read, and there are far too few features. Also, as a software developer with over 25 years in the business, I can tell you that software with an extremely rigid workflow (like TruthMapping) frequently makes a nice demo, but rarely survives in the real world. Unless you have a very specific task that you do quite frequently, and that requires specialized software, you don't need a purpose-built app. Rather, you need something that is flexible enough to bend to different types of problem-solving situations. To think that we could hammer the scientific discovery process into a rigid workflow is actually a bit far-fetched.
Do you notice the whitespace problem? Our vision system uses whitespace to delineate categories. This is a fundamental graphic design principle. Whitespace is not the enemy; it's the canvas which the mind uses to delineate things. The mind has to be trained to read text, but it can identify objects without any observable effort at all. So, as you have apparently noticed, it seems that what we need to be doing is attempting to emulate the way in which the mind actually represents and identifies concepts........
Peter Gardenfors has taken this idea of space between objects a step yet even further. His book Conceptual Spaces makes a case that the way that our mind encodes abstract concepts is actually just a manifestation of the way we do navigation. This is an appealing idea (which could nevertheless turn out to be wrong, of course) in terms of cognitive evolution. It's a very interesting proposition because much progress has actually already been made in understanding spatial cognition (in rats' brains, at least). The point is that, if Gardenfors is right, then conceptual typicality (for example, a bean bag is less of a chair than an office chair ...) could actually turn out to be function of the actual geometry involved with the encoding of the concepts in the mind. It would also suggest that we might learn some things about conceptual encoding by studying the empirical results that relate to spatial encoding
Lloyd wrote:It's pretty easy to break down a paper or theory into individual statements, using a Word program or the like. The next step would be to look for the vital statements of the theory and label them as Known, Disproven, or Unproven.
If we construct a library of scientific knowledge, all theories that are thus disproven go to Archives.
Theories that are Unproven go to the Unproven section of the library.
And the theories whose vital statements are all Known to be True go to Scientific Knowledge.
Independent vs Collaborative Evaluation
Most of us do Independent evaluation of theories along with inefficient Collaborative evaluation. The forum here doesn't have a way to do effective collaborative evaluation of theories. Everyone has their own ideas, but no collective evaluations. It seems that even the EU team has few collective agreements.
My suggested process above would require collaborative evaluation, so our ultimate Science Program should seek to make that efficient, I think.
Each collaborator could evaluate different papers/theories, finding the vital statements and labeling them as Known, Disproven, or Unproven. Then other collaborators could evaluate each of those evaluations and say Agree or Disagree.
Since science exhibits need states which, if permitted, can clash with one another, scientific dialogue should be viewed as a system-of-systems rather than one single coherent two-way broadcast system. The need for accuracy in claims, for instance, is plainly in conflict with the need for creative suggestions. If the technical number cruncher is permitted, he will take a shot at some whimsical suggestion made by the artsy guy. But, this is not to say that neither creativity nor the arts have no place in science -- especially in terms of how we convey and teach it.
The reason why I would not personally spend a whole lot of time trying to perfect a mailing list is that the competing need states will tend to obscure one another implicitly through the dialogue. One person might scold another, for instance, for some transgression -- and suddenly an implicit reactionary feeling spreads through the entire list that the scolded behavior was something which others will now actively avoid. The problem is that the reaction is almost always an overreaction which might only be temporal, but which generally creates inconsistency in the values that guide the dialog. However, from what I can tell, the values which are associated with thinking like a scientist should generally remain fixed and directed, and the way to do that is to create places where they permanently reside, without having to directly fight one another for survival.
The words we use derive much of their meaning from context. When two people disagree about a claim, the disagreement can be related to the claim itself; but oftentimes, the unique knowledge and experience which each person brings to the dialogue can also contribute to any disagreement. In discussions of science, I would propose that there exists four separate modes of dialogue which derive from the structure of science itself:
- There are discussions of concepts, since these meanings can vary over scales, domains of inquiry and based upon competing worldviews. For instance, the concept of wetness loses its meaning once the scale is only slightly shifted from that of water to its constituent, hydrogen. The concept level should perhaps be most friendly to the layperson's needs. Those who are willing to help others by mentoring them might, for instance, be most valued at this level.
- Relationships between concepts are called propositions. When a proposition applies to more than a single instance -- when it is generalizable -- we call it a principle. Propositions exhibit a continuum of certainty, from the least certain (focus questions) to most certain (claims & principles). The proposition level could, as an example, be designed to be a place where it's okay to ask questions. It's also where creativity (divergence) might be most valued.
- A model or "theory is a set of interrelated principles that enables explanations or predictions of interactions among objects & events" (The Art of Educating with V Diagrams, page 53). Thus, we can also have discussions about competing models within just one worldview, and we can choose to discuss these models in terms of either their conceptual propositions, or more precisely, their mathematics. Many science journalists, professors and textbooks today unfortunately cast these discussions as though they are the highest-level discourse we can have in science. The model level is meant to be a place where theories can be cultured by theorists, experimenters and promoters who are already largely fluent in the model. Therefore, it might be considered to be a place where consensus (convergence) is most valued and credentials can matter, but those same credentials might be socially meaningless from the perspective of a different worldview.
- And yet, look at the comments attached to scientific press releases today on popular science aggregator websites, and it's easy to see that discourse can also occur at a level beyond the models themselves. Models tend to originate within the belief systems -- the worldviews -- of scientists, and these worldviews are oftentimes taught by universities as part of the curriculum. These tend to be the most difficult conversations to have, for they require a deep familiarity with multiple competing worldviews. That said, there can be incredible value to discussing competing models which stem from differing worldviews, because even if it might be widely believed that a particular model is the best, there is still the possibility that a better model might originate from a competing worldview. In philosophy of science, this is called the problem of unconceived alternatives. It offers us a reason to believe that all scientific theories are provisional, and it is not necessarily a solvable problem. We are possibly forever stuck with the possibility of unconceived alternatives. The worldview level is a place where people of differing worldviews can critique each others' competing models. This is perhaps where most controversy should be situated. Those who demonstrate either a wide breadth or deep specialty in knowledge are most valued. Users are encouraged to detail their knowledge base coverage. But, notice that nobody can expect to know it all, and so this level must value both cooperation and competition (which some call "co-opetition")
"An Educational Model
'the sensible educator. . . will not expect or intend to produce an educated adult who has no beliefs, values, or attitudes, which he cannot rationally defend against all corners and who is incapable of settled convictions, deep-seated virtues, or profound loyalties. But neither will he treat his pupils in such a way as to leave them with closed minds and restricted sympathies. The process of being educated is like learning to build a house by actually building one and then having to live in the house one has built. It is a process in which the individual inevitably requires help. The extreme authoritarian helps by building the house himself according to what he believes to be the best plan and making the novice live in it. He designs it in such a way as to make it as difficult as possible for the novice to alter it. The extreme liberal leaves the novice to find his own materials and devise his own plan, for fear of exercising improper influence. The most he will do is to provide strictly technical information if asked. The sensible educator helps the novice to build the best house he can (in the light of accumulated experience). He strikes a balance between the need to produce a good house and the desirability of letting the novice make his own choices; but he is careful that the house is designed in such a way that it can subsequently be altered and improved as the owner, no longer a novice, sees fit.'Professor Basil Mitchell
The Durham Report
(excerpted from Beliefs and Values in Science Education" by Michael Poole)
Although dialogue within differing levels should be expected to refer to other levels, a particular dialogue should perhaps be fundamentally rooted within just one, based upon a person's needs -- be it learning, asking, creating or debating. By creating a system of weakly interacting systems (aka "channels" or "layers"), each with its own set of (possibly competing) values, no single such purposeful activity would ever be permitted to obstruct any of the other purposeful activities. The mind automatically recognizes that since each of these sets of values derives from an established channel, that those values should always be present. We simply choose which to pay attention to at a particular moment, based upon the context of our cognition.
Thus, I've identified at least four -- and there are possibly more (?) -- fundamental levels of discourse which we can have in science. In practice, mixing these levels of discourse can cause confusion or frustration. Trained scientists might, for instance, prefer to take for granted some set of assumptions in order to focus, at a particular moment, upon the creation of more predictive models based upon a particular worldview. At that particular moment, having somebody in the room who insists upon questioning the worldview itself could be an annoyance (and understandably so …).
A common problem arises in the reverse as well, however, when scientists refuse to mention to the public anything about the assumptions or hypotheses which might be associated with the worldviews upon which their models are based. At the point where such premises are widely taken for granted, then even though they lack scientific basis, they can nevertheless become culturally enshrined as facts -- which is counter to traditional scientific norms. Thus, there exists a cost associated with the rigor of our scientific methodology, as well as progress in science, when it becomes fashionable to pretend as though there exists no clash of worldviews in science worth discussing. The fact is that there exist many debates in science that have lasted for many decades outside of the textbooks that are used to train university students. In some cases, the Internet is the only place where such discussions continue on.
As an example, Tom Van Flandern points out that -- at least, when he checked -- the most frequently asked question on the topic of gravity in USENET groups properly reflects a question which has been asked in print "thousands of times in dozens of different ways over the years since general relativity (GR) was set forth in 1916". That question would be "What is the speed of gravity?" (See "The Speed of Gravity: What the Experiments Say"). Nevertheless, it would seem that this seemingly important question is apparently not generally explored within our science classrooms or textbooks. The question definitively demonstrates the importance of considering worldviews in science -- a practice which textbooks have generally not been designed to service -- since the answer is generally determined according to the constraints of the worldview itself.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Shirls from Candles They look lovely when lit. I bought 5 for the 5 gold candlesticks as displayed in catalogue. They weren't all delivered at the same time. My only disappointment is that the two shorter/smaller ones had scrapes and small gauges in the "wax". Also the gold application was uneven (making them not look as nice when lit) compared to the larger ones I received.The one thing that is also not that smooth is when inserting the batteries. There is also ribbon that goes between the batteries so that when you want to take them out you pull the ribbon. However, there was one where the ribbon was too short. Overall they do look lovely when lit. Oh, and getting the remote is a given!

According to Comicbook.com, Marvel has filed trademarks for Alpha Flight, Age of Ultron, Black Panther, Guardians of the Galaxy, Irredeemable Ant-Man, Journey Into Mystery, New Warriors, Rocket Racoon [sic] and Strikeforce: Morituri.
Obviously Marvel has already has films either in the works or in the can for Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers: Age of Ultron. While they are just about to film Ant-Man, it's been said that this film will NOT feature Eric O'Grady, the character most directly associated with the Irredeemable arc. Black Panther has long been in development and is a top choice to be one of Marvel's unannounced Phase 3 films. So, what about these other properties?
This is not the first time my eyes read Strikeforce: Morituri, so I did some digging to see if I remembered correctly that it was previously in development and found this 2011 story. At the time the film was being developed by another company, but it's possible the rights are back at Marvel and, maybe, the story that was being pushed into a film.
New Warriors, Journey Into Mystery and Alpha Flight all fall into the category of very interesting. Journey Into Mystery and New Warriors are either current or soon to be published comic series, while Alpha Flight, though a fan favorite, was canceled in 2011. With Marvel's recent announcement of their deal with Netflix and the addendum that they were shopping those series to other companies, the first thing that comes to mind is the possibility that Marvel may be developing these for series as well and, interestingly, they would all fit nicely into the Netflix model.
While it's entirely possible that this extension of trademarks could just be a yearly housekeeping procedure, we should be open to the possibility that Marvel is trying to aggressively expand its footprint in both film and TV.

As I put away my daughter's laundry several weeks ago, I came across a crumpled mass of glittery pink polka-dot splendor: her dance-recital costume. After three years of dance classes, our 8-year-old daughter informed us that she wanted to hang up her leotard and tap shoes. When Neva told us that she wanted to quit dance lessons, a part of me rejoiced. No more schlepping back and forth to the studio. No more cajoling on the days when she lacked the energy or desire to attend class. Even better, no more shelling out nearly $1,000 a year in tuition and costume fees. I began to picture myself curled up on a new couch.
But then Neva told me why she wanted to quit. "It's getting too hard, Mom," she told me. Suddenly, my vision of a microsuede sectional gave way to a vision of my teenage daughter dropping out of school and living in an old car as she followed the Phish revival tour, because it was all "getting too hard." When things start to get difficult, Neva's first inclination is to throw in the towel, and we often let her do it. She quit swim lessons once she mastered the dog paddle, showing no desire to learn the more challenging strokes. She abandoned soccer after one summer, because she didn't like all the running. And when she's on the losing end of a board game, she'll often suggest we just stop playing. (For the record, we don't.)
Although I realize that a part of her attitude is age-appropriate, another part of me doesn't want her to grow up believing that it's OK to just give up when things get difficult. I don't want to be the crazy tiger mom who pushes her child so hard that she burns out by the time she's a teenager. However, I also don't want to raise a kid that just gives up at the first sign of trouble. I want Neva to experience the satisfaction of overcoming challenges, of mastering something that isn't easy.
My husband, Clay, is less bothered by our daughter's love-it-or-leave-it attitude. He argues that at her age, Neva should be allowed to experiment, so she can figure out what she enjoys before having to commit. Quitting certain things now, he says, doesn't mean that she will become a quitter later in life. He also points out that when Neva truly wants something, she's usually willing to put in the effort, as she did with learning to ride a bike. If she really doesn't like dance, then forcing her to go is probably only going to turn her off to it even more.
My aunt, an elementary-school teacher and mom to two wonderful young men, offered several points. When she was raising her kids, the most important question that she would ask was, "Who else will be affected by your quitting?" If, for example, the rest of the team was counting on them, quitting was usually out of the question. Still, she said, parents have to teach their kids to develop and respect their own belief systems—and accept that sometimes that will lead to decisions that may conflict with our own desires or belief systems.
In this case, that means I have to ask myself how important is it to me that Neva continue with dance lessons. If it's truly important, then maybe it's worth taking a hard line. However, if it isn't something that is important to me, then I should perhaps trust her instincts in this case and just let it go. In the end, I have decided to let it go. For one thing, I doubt that Neva will suffer as an adult if she's not able to master a shuffle-toe combination. Also, she is definitely not letting other people down through her quitting: The dance season at the school starts in September and runs until early June, when they have the big recital.
However, Clay and I decided that we do want her to commit to one extracurricular activity and stick with it, at least for the school year. So far, she's narrowed down the top candidates to karate and voice. (Ideally, it will be both, and I could become mom to the world's greatest female singing ninja.)
We are also signing her up for a few more swim lessons. It's a life skill that she will need, especially given the amount of time we spend around the water during the summers. She doesn't need to become the next Michael Phelps, but she does need to master the crawl. Once she's done that, she can choose whether or not she wants to continue. Who knows? Maybe she will rediscover a love for it.
I understand all too well that our time with Neva will pass faster than we think. One day, she will venture out into the world, training wheels off, with all of the hills and valleys of life ahead of her. When she hits that inevitable pothole, rather than sitting down and weeping in defeat, I hope that we will have taught her how to get right back up, hit the pedals and climb.

How to choose FTTH solution and Fiber Optic Equipment supplier?
How to choose fiber optic equipment supplier?
In China, which is famous as the title "world-factory" and the booming international trade market, there are many choices in FTTx GEPON solution/products market.
Many questions would usually be asked similarly in this way, as following:
"What's your ONU/OLT chipset? Broadcom TK3715, TK3723? Qualcomm? Cortina?…."
"Can your EPON ONU work with other brands OLT?"
"Can your fiber optic equipment meet our telecom operators's tender sheet?"
"Our important project need those items, Could you pls send samples to us ASAP?";
Maybe, we have the same problem, or different one,when we are purchasing or outsourcing the Fiber Optic Equipment/FTTx GEPON solution product.
But those factors are absolutely necessary:
- Quality and delivery guarantee;
- After-sales support;
- Customerization;
- Stability/Reliability;
How to choose FTTH solution supplier?
Meanwhile, how to choose FTTH solution is another big challenge for most of us,who is willing to build his/her own dream application plan.
As the multimedia and big data times coming,we have much more applications choices and more solution to choose.
Counting by popularity, there are rich type of application service in the fiber optic terminal solution, such as Internet Access, CATV service, Voice/VoIP, Video Conferencing, IPTV, Monitoring, even an e-Home/e-Office intelligent system and etc.
Since fiber optic equipment is not a small unit,moreover,multiple type of terminal devices sourcing and multiple application systems requirement, all together is making your FTTH Solution plan huge and complicate.
Generally, the key to choose your ideal FTTH solution supplier is the one with the full product line and related service, which is called one-stop supplier, e.g, a "ABC Fiber Shop" can offer fiber optic equipment and communication products at the same time.
For more detail, there is a drawing to display how the IP camera monitoring application is used in fiber optic network solution.
B.T.W, there are various application sharing in Fiber Opitc Telecom (FOT) Application Solution page.
Thanks again for visiting FOT FTTH Blog.

Perma bans, toxic players, ban system, suggestion for unbanning accounts.
Hello, a little less than a year ago my main account got permanently banned, I was playing on that account for about 6 years I think. I am still playing League and I think I deserve a chance to get my account unbanned because I haven't gotten any bans since then and I believe I have reformed. I never got any bans on any other game except League. I really hope Riots sees this and takes it into consideration, I hope they will be open minded while reading this. I am going to be completely honest and won't be hiding the stuff that I got banned for. This is going to be a long post but I hope Riot sees this. I'm going to be saying my own opinion and I don't expect everyone to agree with me. You should read this whole thing before commenting. I don't think Riot should even be perma banning accounts for being toxic, I mean it's the internet, of course people are gonna insult you, I think there should be a perma chat ban for that and a perma ban for trolling, but whatever. In this post I'm going to be talking about: - kinds of toxic players - what I think a toxic player is - why I got banned - ban system - suggestions about giving players access to their perma banned accounts I won't be censoring any words because I don't intend to censor my own words. **1. Kinds of Toxic Players.** There is a lot of types of toxic players, I'm gonna be talking about some of them: - Griefers/trollers - those are the kinds of players who are really immature and if something doesn't go their way they are gonna go AFK, intentionally feed, steal someones farm and other stuff to make their own team lose. - Generally toxic people - those are the ones that blame you for their own mistakes, if you don't do what they want they will start flaming, if you're doing bad they will say "sell skin", report for inting or other stuff to tilt you but aren't saying any kind of of "bad" words so the system doesn't ban them that easily, to me those are the worst type of toxic players because if I'm already doing bad and I want to get better at the game I'm already pissed off at myself for doing stupid mistakes and I don't need anyone telling me I need to stop playing or other stuff. - People that flame hard when being flamed by toxic people - I was one of those, to me this kind of people isn't really toxic but starts flaming really hard when somebody tilts them. **2. What I Think a Toxic Player Is.** I think that toxic players are those who start flaming other people, not the ones who defend themselves with flaming instead of muting the toxic person. That's just my opinion because I am a jungle main and we all know jungle gets blamed a lot, so before when I saw someone telling me I'm boosted or shit, I really got tilted and I needed to write something back to them (that was me before, now when someone blames me and I know it's not my fault I just find it funny how stupid they are and I don't flame them I just mute them or write something that doesn't make any sense like "me too" or "ok" or when I am tilted from matches before I write stfu or something like that but I don't think that's really that bad). **3. Why I Got Banned.** I got banned for using "hard" and "offensive" words. I only got a two week ban and after that a perma ban. I think I mostly got banned for saying "%%% %%%" and "%%% %%%got" a lot, those were the only "offensive" words I used but I never say that anymore and I know it's been just a year but I think I have matured a lot in that 1 year, and I don't get the need to say those words any more. I never attacked anyone I just used those words and flamed the people that flamed me, I know that it's against the rules to say that, even if I don't agree with those rules, I know that I can get banned if I don't follow them, and I admit I was really immature back then, but come on, people change, and besides that, words are only offensive if you let them be offensive, when someone tells me to kill myself or stuff like that I don't really give a shit. I'm not saying I shouldn't have gotten banned but I think that there needs to be some way (like The Level 20 Challenge) to get my account back because people actually can reform. **4. Ban System.** I think that Riot's current ban system is really really bad and I'm going to tell you why. When I still had my main account I was playing on my smurf and said this in all chat: "fiora called me a %%%%%% %%%got", she didn't really say that I just wanted to see what will happen, in that game I was also kind of trolling but it wasn't ranked and I don't remember it that well but I think that I had a reason and that I didn't int, mostly chat trolling I think, after that I think I didn't play anymore on that account and when I came back to play I saw I had a 14 day suspension (that account is now my main and now I have to be really careful not to get a perma...). After that I wrote a ticket to Riot and they said that even though that it has been taken out of context they said that I was toxic in my other games and that they are not going to undo that ban, I admit, I was toxic but still the game that got me banned was taken out of context. You can say that I got banned for trolling but I have another example and that one is from today. Before writing this post I wanted to test something out, I went on my level 7 account and decided to write "offensive" words in all chat, not to players, just write them every 5 minutes or less. I wasn't trolling and we won that game, I was just writing words, not anything else and I didn't even include "you are" before those words, it was a game of ARURF. After we won I exited that account and I returned less than 5 minutes later and my account got a 14 day suspension, I was playing with a friend and I told him to report me to fasten up the process. That was the only game I was "toxic" on that account and I didn't even get a chat ban I immediately got a 14 day ban. But then there is so many games that players say that I should die from cancer, blaming me for their own mistakes, flaming each other and they still have their accounts, I rarely see someone saying "offensive" words because all the people that used them probably got banned, I'm not saying they don't deserve it but people who are still in my games and are, what I find, more toxic then I ever was, I think they deserve it too but I still see them in my games. I think wishing someone cancer is so much worse then calling them a racial slur, but then %%% is really bad too because if someone is depressed they might find it very disturbing and that's why i don't say that any more. That's why I think Riot's ban system should be improved a lot, it only registers certain words and if you say them you will get banned immediately. **5. Suggestions About Giving Players Access to Their Perma Banned Accounts.** - Why I think players should get a chance to get their accounts back - some people say that players already got enough chances to reform but trust me, it's not the same to get a 2 week ban and a perma ban, people say that after you get a two week ban, if you haven't reformed you deserve to get perma banned, but those people don't know what it's like to be perma banned, they don't know the difference between two weeks and permanent. Only after you get a perma ban you realize how much that account meant to you (at least for me). I spent so much time on leveling, climbing, getting IP/Blue essence, buying champions and I spent so much money too (please don't tell me spending money doesn't give me permission to be toxic because trust me I already know that, I heard that a lot of times, I'm only saying that because losing that much money means a lot too), I mean we're talking about 6 years, that's a lot of time, and then a couple months of toxicity threw all that time away. I know that I can make another account and play on it and I am, but it just doesn't feel the same. I also think that it's not fair that the people who participated in the level 20 challenge got a chance to get their account back and I can't get that chance. I think I was playing while the level 20 challenge was around, because I had another account before the perma banned one, I'm not sure when The Level 20 Challenge got taken down though. - The Level 20 Challenge - I know that Riot already tried this and that it was a failure but I think that it was awesome because players got a chance to prove they have reformed. I already passed 20 levels on my account which I played on after I got perma banned and I got to platinum without a ban but Riot doesn't care about that because The Level 20 Challenge doesn't exist anymore. - How I think they should redo the challenge - It doesn't need to be 20 levels, it can be 10, 15, 30, a certain rank or whatever, I just think they need to add it and I will suggest how, I don't know if that's doable or if it's too hard to do but this is my suggestion: they make a separate site where you can apply for the challenge, you make an account and link it to your perma banned account, after you reach a certain level that Riot said out to be the level to complete the challenge without a ban, your permanently banned account gets unbanned. You make it so it's all controlled by bots because I know it would be too hard for people to control it because there would be too many people trying, I mean if you can hire bots to ban people why can't you hire them to unban them as well. That was all for this post, I know it was a long post but I think I said everything that I wanted to say, I hope this post changes something and I want you to know all I was saying was true, I wasn't lying about my ban reason and why the ban system is bad. I hope this gets seen by riot.

Ridester has learned that Uber has not renewed its permit to test its autonomous vehicles in California. This is a huge move and shows Uber pulling back in a major way from its plans to launch a self-driving car service.
The Verge reported that "the California DMV confirmed that Uber's authority to test self-driving cars in the state will end March 31st following the decision not to renew its license. A spokesperson for Uber confirmed that it would not seek to continue testing in California in light of the crash in Arizona. Federal investigators are currently probing the cause of the crash."
A spokesman for Uber said, "We proactively suspended our self-driving operations, including in California, immediately following the Tempe incident. Given this, we decided to not reapply for a California DMV permit with the understanding that our self-driving vehicles would not operate on public roads in the immediate future."
Is this the End of Uber's Autonomous Cars?
Probably not. But it certainly is a game changer. While it all may sound like nothing more than a temporary setback, it's actually a major blow to Uber's self-driving program. And it doesn't bode well for Uber at all.
Uber's whole game plan was based on having a functioning driverless car by the end of the year. They were in a mad rush to get it done and they put safety concerns far down on the list of priorities, according to everyone familiar with the program.
The reason this is such a major setback is because, as Travis Kalanick famously agreed, coming in second is to be the first loser. Whichever company hits the road first with fully autonomous vehicles, will win a huge market share among consumers. Whoever comes in second, may as well be third or fourth or fifth. The second place finisher will lose a huge competitive advantage that will cost it millions of dollars – even if they do some day catch up.
It was probably unrealistic for Uber to ever think it could beat out Google's self driving cars (now under the name of "Waymo"). Google began its autonomous vehicle program in 2009 – the same year Uber formed as a company. By the time Uber got around to it in 2015, Google had a six year advantage. Or, to put that another way, Google has been working on these cars for nine years now. Uber has barely put in three years. Google has been working on them more than three times as long.
And where Google has been very slow and methodical, showing by their actions that they put safety first – Uber has shown the exact opposite. Uber has rushed things so fast, that the could have only gotten as far as they have by making safety something less than top priority.
Waymo recently sued Uber for stealing the secrets to its self-driving technology. Travis Kalanick denied that anything was stolen but Uber still settled – which shows there was enough evidence of guilt that they were afraid of losing in court.
Waymo accused Uber of stealing its trade secrets when one of its engineers, Anthony Levandowski, left to start Otto, a self-driving truck company. Uber then purchased Otto for $680 million.
In other words, basically this engineer in Google's self driving program – left and started his own company (after he had already been in talks with Kalanick). Very shortly after he started his company – Uber purchased it for more than half a billion dollars!
Kalanick was so ambitious to beat out Google on the self driving cars, that he was willing to do just about anything to do it. He was willing to steal Waymo's trade secrets. And now it has become apparent, that Uber was willing to put these cars on the road despite the that everyone involved in the program knew they weren't ready. They weren't safe enough.
The amazing thing is, that Kalanick has been gone from Uber for a good several months now. What happened in Tempe has to come directly under the responsibility of Uber's new CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi. Khosrowshahi was supposed to be the good guy who was going to right all of Uber's wrongs. Khosrowshahi was supposed to be the clean corporate citizen who did things the right way. The fact that it was under his leadership that Uber continued to aggressively push its self driving program, even though it was nowhere close to ready, is quite disturbing. There must be something in the water at Uber corporate headquarters.
"I'm Pissed We Didn't Have the First Death"
And speaking of Anthony Levandowski, soulmate to Travis Kalanick… when a Tesla driver died in a fatal car crash while using Tesla's autopilot technology, Levandowski reportedly told several Uber engineers in 2016 that he was "pissed" that Uber didn't have the first death. In Levandowski's twisted mind, the first death represented a company that was pushing aggressively ahead. In his very twisted mind, the fact that Uber didn't cause the first death meant Uber wasn't pushing aggressively enough.
Let that sink in for a minute.
The man Travis Kalanick referred to as his "brother from another mother" because they thought so much alike, actually believed that blood on the road would be a sign of progress for Uber.
More Evidence of Corner Cutting
Evidence is mounting that Uber has cut safety corners in order to save money. This corner cutting was most likely the direct cause of the Tempe woman's death.
Reuters reports that Uber greatly reduced the number of sensors on its latest version of self driving cars. In late 2017, Uber signed a deal with Volvo to purchase up to 24,000 Volvo SUVs between 2019 and 2021 at a total cost of $1.13 billion. It was a Volvo SUV that was involved in the death of the woman in Tempe.
Since signing the billion dollar deal with Volvo, Uber apparently decided to save a few bucks on sensors. These are the safety sensors that detect objects in the road.
Fewer sensors results in an autonomous car that has more blind spots. The Volvo that killed the female pedestrian in Tempe had more blind spots than the Ford Fusions Uber employed up until 2016. Uber used almost twice as many sensors on the Fusions than they currently use on the newer Volvos.
On its earlier self driving cars Uber utilized 34 separate sensors. On its newest cars like the one that hit and killed the woman in Tempe, Uber had just 18 sensors.
On the earlier Ford Fusions they used seven LIDAR sensors and on the current models, just one. They had 20 cameras on the earlier models but only seven cameras on the current models. None of that can be outweighed by the fact they now use 3 more the cheaper RADAR sensors than they previously did.
Former Uber employee, Raj Rajkumar, who is the head of Carnegie Mellon's transportation center, told Reuters that that when Uber drastically reduced the number of sensors on its cars, that they, "introduced a blind zone around the perimeter of the SUV that cannot fully detect pedestrians."
With all of this information coming to light, if Uber ends its self-driving program, we can only say, good riddance. If they do not choose to voluntarily end it, they should be forced to by public outcry. If the public really understood how this company operates they wouldn't want them getting anywhere near self-driving technology.
All of this makes us appreciate Google much more and the way they've prioritized safety with their self driving cars. They've put their cars through millions and millions of miles of tests and nine years later are just now getting ready to put the first ones on the road without human operators. It's outrageous to think any company could accomplish in three years what has taken Google at least nine – even if they had stolen technology from Google.

Amazon is reducing the price of its Dash buttons for Prime day next week. The buttons usually cost £4.99 but will drop to £1.99.
While a reduction is always welcome, Amazon's Dash button also gets a refund of the purchase price when you use it the first time. But the great news here is that you still get £4.99 back when you press your £1.99 button. This is great if you're considering dipping a toe in, as there's actually a positive reason to give Dash buttons a go.
Also getting discounts are the Amazon Fire 7 Kids edition, which is reduced by 30% to £69.99. This tablet comes with Amazon's two year worry-free guarantee which means if your little angel breaks the tablet, you can have it replaced with no questions asked. The Fire 7 is currently £99.99 and has 16GB of RAM and microSD slot if you need extra space.
If you want a step-up model, then there's £40 off the Kindle HD 8 Kids Edition. Down from £129.99 to £89.99 it has the same worry-free replacement promise and 32GB of storage and a microSD slot for up to 256GB of extra storage. Both Amazon's kids tablets also have an online parent portal where you can monitor how your children are using their tablets and set up goals and restrictions.

The last three weeks have been a whirlwind of gardening, packing, vacationing, unpacking, and further gardening. But I'm back and refreshed! To prove it, I managed to snap off a few pictures of my newest charge, Lucy, a three-month-old Swiss mountain dog. She doesn't stop moving if someone is looking at her. YOU try taking a picture behind your back and see how it turns out.
Can't you just feel the pent up energy that's about to erupt?
Nanoseconds later, she jumped and almost took out the camera
So far, Lucy is afraid of: the sidewalk, rustling leaves, cars, car alarms, car doors, lawn-care workers, and on occasion, the wind. It's normal for very young puppies to go through a scaredy-cat phase. Until it's over, I'll just keep quietly enjoying being the person she hides behind during her morning walk.

- Very good service on my recalibation, the only down side is that it was returned without batteries after putting new batteries in before sending it away. If it could not be posted with batteries they surely could have been sent back isolated. Otherwise quite pleased. Regards, Neil Franklin

We had a very good day tooling about the big city and shopping. Kitchen stores, the boardwalk, bookstores and Italian food.
Our last stop of the day was the "Gucci Brookshires". That's what husband calls it. It is in the very nice part of town and has an amazing meat and produce market and one of the few places we can get fresh lamb. We mill around, some how put $114.62 worth of things in our shopping cart and check out. We walk out the door and look across the parking lot and there is our vehicle with the back passenger side door standing wide open! My heart sank. My purse was on the front floor, all our purchases were in the back- probably close to $1000 worth. Hannah's 160 gig IPOD was on the seat in the middle section. My cell phone was plugged in in the front section. Not my regular old cell phone but the one you can dial ANYWHERE in the world with! Guess what! All these things were STILL there. Not a thing was taken. Someone missed one heck of an opportunity. Husband said they looked at the door standing wide open and said "Well, there's nothing in there, the idiots left the door open." Probably so. So that was was an interesting end to a very nice day together. Seriously we had a great day. The weather was perfect and everyone found the things they were looking for. Benjamin even bought some escargot he has been wanting to try.
So tonight's supper will be mussels (another thing we wanted to give a whirl) and escargot! What a treat! And Husband said he would make some salmon patties to put on the grill in case we dont like the gourmet choices. So that is my exciting story to start off the week. Husband's surgery will be Wednesday so stay tuned for those results.
Merry Monday to you all. And check those car doors when you get out to shop!

|Most UK orders delivered next day
|Visit our studio and have shirts made
Almost all of us own at least one pair of headphones but rarely stop and think how marvelous they are.
The first headphones intended for sale to the public appeared around 1930 courtesy of Beyerdynamic, but it wasn't until 1957 when Jazz musician John C. Koss invented stereo headphones that is, headphones providing a full amplitude of sound.
I love my headphones and couldn't live without them, so I created this t-shirt design. I drew the headphones in Adobe Illustrator, and based it on a modern pair of top-end headphones by Bayerdynamic, the company that led the way for headphones.
The shirts:
These t shirts are unique for being made exclusively for us wholly with fibres ring spun into yarns manufactured exclusively for WeAdmire. These yarns are then knitted into a single jersey fabric suitable for t shirts.
The CoolMax bit exploits the surface tension of water to wick moisture from your skin. It works through micro channels engineered into the profile of the fibre. These channels are physical attributes, they are there for the life of the fibre.
The Fresh FX bit embeds a silver salt in the molecular structure of the fibre that stops the propagation of bacteria which, left unchecked, ultimately cause a sour odour. Because the silver salt is embedded within the fibre it, like the wicking, is similarly permanent; it will not leech out with wear and washing.
These attributes deliver shirts that remain cool and dry almost regardless of what you might do in them and similarly they remain fresh. And the ongoing performance of the fabric is guaranteed. This is important, these shirts will become your favourite items of apparel, you will want to wear your shirts again and again.
These shirts are marvellous to travel with, they stay fresh if you don't have the chance to wash them, they wash easily when you do have the chance, and they dry super quickly. There is also a very useful side effect to all this: our shirts keep anything you wear on top of them and what you might wear after wearing them fresher too.
The cut and fit and sizing of these shirts is exclusive to us and was specified by Anastasia Vouyouka, a published guru of fit in the fashion industry.
The feel of the very best natural fibre shirts you have experienced with the performance of the fibres that set the benchmarks for wicking and freshness. It is very unlikely you will have experienced this level of technical performance in a decorated t shirt before.

Word on the street is that Samsung is trying to leave the Android operating system that brought them to such prominence. Samsung would rather think it was their devices that caused their meteoric success in the smartphone and tablet industry…but we all know better than that. While Samsung might not like to admit that Android helped in their success, they are smart enough to know that without Applications, there is little success for a new operating system – or existing one for that matter; just ask BlackBerry and Microsoft. Although, they might just be arrogant enough to think that if they provide us with enough Samsung application, such as their streaming music service, Milk Music, we might just buy into the entire Samsung ecosystem.
Our source reported about an interview that Wonpyo Hong, Samsung's President of the Media Solutions Center had with the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) concerning a number of topics – one that included a little Tizen discussion. The first topic of discussion was the adding of a premium paid subscription to Samsung's Milk Music App – it had been like listening to an FM radio broadcast with both music and commercials or ads. For $3.99 per month, you can have the ad-free version – kind of like mimicking Pandora's ad-free music. Milk Music is powered by Slacker and 380,000 have downloaded the Application and is limited to only a handful of Samsung devices, but Hong hopes to expand the App to more of its devices.
It is rather difficult to get a direct, straight answer out of any Samsung executive when it comes to Tizen. One minute they will tell you it is one of the platforms that Samsung would like to offer…among a number of choices, but then in the next sentence they will tell you that Samsung would like to offer a 'common' platform for use in their mobile, television and home appliances. Yong also said they would like to offer more products that use Tizen besides their Gear smartwatch…sounds to me that Samsung would like to use Tizen in all of the products, including mobile.
Yong also indicated that Samsung would be active in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), although I think the emphasis will be on the acquisitions end – what better way to quickly build up your own ecosystem than by buying existing applications and making them part of the Samsung 'family.' He also does not think that the name 'Tizen' is of importance to a customer – they want a great product, regardless of how it works on the inside. I do not quite think that Samsung realizes the loyalty there is to iOS or Android, although maybe the majority of customers that walk into a Verizon store, for instance, do not understand what OS they are getting, simply the device. Do you think Samsung is correct in their assumptions or is it just the techies that really care about that stuff? Please let us know on our Google+ Page what you think about that…as always, we would love to hear from you.

Ultrasonics have played a huge role in transport safety to date – but with technology moving forward, and fatal flaws in their offerings, it looks like they'll soon be obsolete. Our latest products, like TurnAware, use the newest and most radical technology to ensure road safety. Moving forward, the rest of our product range, and other companies, will follow suit, leaving behind ultrasonic sensors in the creation of cycle safety technology.

Cyclist injuries and fatalities on Britain's roads are a real problem. In fact, the UK has the highest number of incidents involving cyclists and another vehicle than any other country in Europe, with numbers continuing to grow.
Posted on 13th Jul, 2015 by Jonathan Peach
Light Good Vehicles are highly prominent on Britain's roads – from motorways right through to urban areas. In fact, the number of vans in Britain has been rising 2.5 times more quickly than cars in recent years and now account for about one in 10 of the country's vehicles.

- Graduate profiles,
Anaëlle V. - Construction Engineer - Bouygues Bâtiment IDF
Class of 2016 - Double Degree in Architecture and Engineering
Published on August 22, 2017 – Updated on August 22, 2017
"The opportunity to customise your training programme."
Originally from Angers, I joined ensa Nantes in 2009 where I followed the double degree programme in Architecture and Engineering (ensa Nantes / Centrale Nantes). I played in the first volleyball team and I specialised in Engineering Science for Housing and Urban Environment in my final year at Centrale.
YOUR CURRENT POSITIONI am currently a Construction Engineer working on the redevelopment of the Louvre Post Office in Paris. I am in charge of the Metal Framework Lot, for a budget of 7 M €.
My role includes supervising the study and delivery of building stability during the demolition phases as well as study of final stability. I am also in charge of the consultation phase and choice of subcontractor for the metal framework, the studies and delivery of the metal framework (new and existing), management of the interfaces between existing building and new building, supervision of floor studies and delivery, fire and corrosion protection for the framework (existing and new). I enjoy the high degree of autonomy granted, the responsibilities entrusted to me and I particularly appreciate the many interfaces with the other lots on the site, giving me a global vision of the site as well as in-depth knowledge of the other lots.
In the medium term, I would like to manage a site (including subcontractors) and manage site construction with a call to tender.
WHAT ASPECT OF YOUR TRAINING PREPARED YOU FOR THIS POSITION?The double-degree programme in architecture and engineering confers a real capacity to work in group and better responsiveness to a problem. In particular, I participated in the Solar Decathlon Europe contest to design, construct and maintain a low-energy housing unit, which involved students from different schools in Nantes and taught us how to manage a long-term project, with regard to budget, planning and team management. Finally, my architect side allows me to propose technical solutions in keeping with the philosophy of the architectural design.
WHAT DID YOU LIKE AT CENTRALE NANTES?What I particularly enjoyed at Centrale Nantes is the cohesion amongst students, the wealth of associative life and finally the geographical setting of the school, close to the city centre.

I'm putting this here because it's such a perfect analogy. I don't want to lose it in the dark vault that's Facebook.
This elevated enlightenment written by Rockstar Dinosaur Pirate Princess.
[divider]Consent: Not Actually That Complicated[/divider]
It seems like every time an article is written about consent, or a move made towards increasing the onus on the initiator of the sex to ensure that the person they are trying to have sex with, you know, actually WANTS to have sex with them, there are a wave of comments and criticisms.
It seems a lot of people really, REALLY don't get what 'consent' means. From the famous "not everybody needs to be asked prior to each insertion" to the student that (allegedly) thought he'd surprise his partner with some non consensual BDSM to that fucking song to almost every damn comment on any article by anyone that suggests that yes means yes; it seems people really have a problem understanding that before you have sex with someone, and that's every time you have sex with them, make sure they want to have sex with you. This goes for men, women, everyone. Whoever you are initiating sexytimes with, just make sure they are actually genuinely up for it. That's it. It's not hard. Really.
If you're still struggling, just imagine instead of initiating sex, you're making them a cup of tea.
You say "hey, would you like a cup of tea?" and they go "omg fuck yes, I would fucking LOVE a cup of tea! Thank you!*" then you know they want a cup of tea.
If you say "hey, would you like a cup of tea?" and they um and ahh and say, "I'm not really sure…" then you can make them a cup of tea or not, but be aware that they might not drink it, and if they don't drink it then – this is the important bit – don't make them drink it. You can't blame them for you going to the effort of making the tea on the off-chance they wanted it; you just have to deal with them not drinking it. Just because you made it doesn't mean you are entitled to watch them drink it.
If they say "No thank you" then don't make them tea. At all. Don't make them tea, don't make them drink tea, don't get annoyed at them for not wanting tea. They just don't want tea, ok?
They might say "Yes please, that's kind of you" and then when the tea arrives they actually don't want the tea at all. Sure, that's kind of annoying as you've gone to the effort of making the tea, but they remain under no obligation to drink the tea. They did want tea, now they don't. Sometimes people change their mind in the time it takes to boil that kettle, brew the tea and add the milk. And it's ok for people to change their mind, and you are still not entitled to watch them drink it even though you went to the trouble of making it.
If they are unconscious, don't make them tea. Unconscious people don't want tea and can't answer the question "do you want tea" because they are unconscious.
Ok, maybe they were conscious when you asked them if they wanted tea, and they said yes, but in the time it took you to boil that kettle, brew the tea and add the milk they are now unconscious. You should just put the tea down, make sure the unconscious person is safe, and – this is the important bit – don't make them drink the tea. They said yes then, sure, but unconscious people don't want tea.
If someone said yes to tea, started drinking it, and then passed out before they'd finished it, don't keep on pouring it down their throat. Take the tea away and make sure they are safe. Because unconscious people don't want tea. Trust me on this.
If someone said "yes" to tea around your house last Saturday, that doesn't mean that they want you to make them tea all the time. They don't want you to come around unexpectedly to their place and make them tea and force them to drink it going "BUT YOU WANTED TEA LAST WEEK", or to wake up to find you pouring tea down their throat going "BUT YOU WANTED TEA LAST NIGHT".
Do you think this is a stupid analogy? Yes, you all know this already – of course you wouldn't force feed someone tea because they said yes to a cup last week. Of COURSE you wouldn't pour tea down the throat of an unconscious person because they said yes to tea 5 minutes ago when they were conscious. But if you can understand how completely ludicrous it is to force people to have tea when they don't want tea, and you are able to understand when people don't want tea, then how hard is it to understand when it comes to sex?
Whether it's tea or sex, Consent Is Everything.
And on that note, I am going to make myself a cup of tea.

Sync, Inc.
Celebs step up for Lip Sync Battle, and so do fans worldwide.
During a 2013 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, John Krasinski challenged the host to a lip sync battle: who could best mouth the words to a variety of songs, like "I'll Make Love to You" by Boyz II Men?
That little bit went on to spark a worldwide phenomenon.
First, it became a recurring segment on Fallon, and then it morphed into its own hit series, Lip Sync Battle, which premiered in 2015 on Spike, since rebranded as the Paramount Network . Last year, according to Nielsen, the show reached or was sampled by some 30 million viewers.
Lip Sync Battle now airs in 120 territories across six continents and has been licensed in 21 formats, with versions in Russia, Mexico, China and the Philippines. Twice nominated for Emmys, it has spawned several spinoffs, including Nickelodeon's Lip Sync Battle Shorties, which features kids.
BET hosted special knockoffs around the Hip Hop Awards and Soul Train Awards, while a Lip Sync Battle aired on MTV just before the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards. In 2016, Carnival Cruise Line created an adaptation that lets passengers compete throughout their vacations.
What makes the show so universal? Host LL Cool J says it's a "peek behind the curtain" that showcases an authentic side of stars, something fans always enjoy. "You get to see these celebrities and cool people letting their hair down and being silly, having these sing-in-the-shower moments that we all have."
Executive producer Casey Patterson adds that superstars bring no agenda, other than to entertain. "We don't pick the songs — the stars do," she says. Contestants often say that once they do Lip Sync Battle, fans embrace them in a whole new way. "A lot of celebrities are terrified to come on our show," LL Cool J says. "But the next time you see them, they say this is all anybody ever talks to them about."
The internet is key to the show's worldwide success. In 2017, Lip Sync Battle generated 300 million views across YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Spike/Paramount's owned and operated platforms. Because Lip Sync Battle is produced 90 seconds at a time, Patterson says, it offers "very clean, realized moments and small bites" that are extremely sharable.
The series kicked off its fourth season at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre with a Michael Jackson–themed live premiere. Hailee Steinfeld, Laverne Cox, Neil Patrick Harris and Taraji P. Henson battled for the championship belt. To up the ante, the show's regular set received a flashy makeover.
"We have a new stage!" chirped Chrissy Teigen, whose title is "Colorful Commentator." "And I live inside a disco ball!"
Patterson says the goal was to create a theater-in-the-round experience so the stars can go "bigger and bolder. Over time, we realized that if celebrities wanted to compete, they wanted to do it right," she says. "We now have that ability."
Patterson and her fellow exec producers — Jay Peterson, Stephen Merchant, Krasinski, LL Cool J and Rick Schwartz of Eight Million Plus Productions — have no plans to slow down. "There's always new music and new artists," she says. As the platform grows, so does the caliber of the talent. "We just had Kathy Bates here doing Bruno Mars," Patterson says. Stars typically sign on after seeing a viral clip of a colleague on the show, she explains. "Hers was Ben Kingsley."
The ultimate battle, Teigen says, would be herself versus LL Cool J. "It's going to happen at some point," her would-be rival teases, promising it would "blow up the internet."

The AOL division is pretty quiet these days... I dunno if "dead" is the rightway to describe it, since all I know is what I see on the mailing list and the logboards here. Activity on the mailing list is few and far between, even less so on the logboards here. You might want to check out the IRC division at http://asg.webhop.org/.
I'll probably keep the website and stuff here operational for the forseeable future. It doesn't cost me anything (except the domain registration every few years), and maybe things will pick up again, or someone will find the site interesting. I'm all for nostalga and stuff.
If I ever get around to it, I intend to post the old newsletters from the past on the website. It's really not a priority issue since, as you can see, it's very quiet around here. I even have some old sim logs that might make interesting reading.
Not much more to say... there was a fight for power a while, back but since I'm so out of the political goings on, I don't know much about it. Sims are quiet, the members are quiet... maybe even forgot they are members.
It sure was fun while it lasted, though.

Overcoming Sin
Overcoming Sin!
"God couldn't love me. Look at all the things I've done! The way I've behaved and treated others! The mess I've made of my life - no one would want anything to do with me if they really knew me - let alone God - who supposedly knows everything about me!" Similar statements have been made by many all over the world. Why? Because many believe that sin is the bad or wrong things they say and do - and that they will be judged for their attitudes, behaviour and conduct.
When we look at the scriptures, sin is described in a variety of ways - missing the mark, breaking God's moral law, lawlessness, imperfect faith, prayerlessness, disobedience, unrighteousness, rebellion, defiance, depravity, doubts and fears etc. - and this list is not exhaustive. It is therefore quite understandable that many think, "What chance have I got to fulfil God's desire for my life, or what would God want of me?", particularly if they've tried time and again to improve their behaviour and conduct, only to fail repeatedly. Has God set them up to fail? Certainly not! Then why is it so hard to live a godly life in spite of God having given us the Holy Spirit, the scriptures and each other to help us to daily live in victory?
The problem isn't on God's side - after all, He hasn't got a problem with sin! He defeated satan, sin, death, hell and the grave at the cross over 2000 years ago, when Jesus rose victoriously after experiencing everything that these could throw at Him, as well as experiencing God's wrath against all of them!
The problem exists because the English word 'sin' refers not just to the wrong things we say and do but it is also the state we've been born into as descendants of Adam and Eve. Paul explains the dilemma like this when he says, "So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?" (Rom 7:21-25 ANIV). He recognises that there were two laws at work within him - there was the desire to please God and also the desire to please himself and his desires. The first came into effect as a result of an encounter with the risen Christ on the Damascus Rd., resulting in him having a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ. The second is the consequence of being a member of the human race. Both of these laws are poles apart and in conflict with each other.
Like Paul, many face similar struggles and respond in a similar way, "What a terrible person I am - how can I ever change myself - especially after having tried and been unsuccessful so many times?" Such an approach can cause you to focus upon your failings and weaknesses rather than upon the wonderful work God has done in you through Jesus Christ. Focusing upon your failures causes sin to be reduced to just externals or the things you say and do rather than what God has delivered you from, through Jesus Christ!
Over the years I have come across many whose focus is upon their failure to live God's kind of life. Such individuals are always trying harder to succeed, with limited or no effect, becoming discouraged and ending up drifting along in their relationship with Jesus Christ or giving up altogether, believing that this just doesn't work for them!
Overcoming sin's power and effect begins when you start to focus upon what Jesus has accomplished for you on the cross. Then, faith in His completed work, requires that you begin to thank Him what He has done. At this moment in time - through Christ you are forgiven. When God looks at you He sees the sacrifice of His Son Jesus and what He accomplished on the cross - irrespective of how you may feel or believe! This is part of what is commonly known as grace. There are those who think that the more they sin - the more they will experience God's grace. This is a problem Paul faces when he tackles this subject. If that is your attitude you've failed to grasp and understand what grace really is. God's grace not only brings you into a right standing before God as holy, righteous and justified, but grace also enables us to walk away from the sinful way of life we've been used to and to live as holy, righteous and justified individuals.
The key to overcoming sin is to learn to think differently - trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit to help you to say 'No' to all ungodliness (Titus 2:12), and to allow Him to live His kind of life through you. Should you slip up and fail - pick yourself up, thank God that He has already forgiven you and for the way He is helping you to live His kind of life in and through you. Sometimes persistence may be necessary - but in the long run you will overcome by the Holy Spirit's help and power.

DisplayPort™ 1.4 Sink Calibration and Test Software (DP-SINK-BSX/DP-SINK)
Read Online:
Developed for Tektronix by Granite River Labs (GRL), DisplayPort 1.4 PHY Sink Calibration and Test software for the Tektronix BERTScope BSX (DP-SINK-BSX) and BERTScope BSA (DP-SINK) provides an automated, simple, and efficient way to test DisplayPort Sink (Receiver) devices per the Jitter Tolerance requirements of the DisplayPort physical layer compliance test specification (CTS) version 1.4 and DisplayPort over USB Type-C 1.0a CTS.
DP-SINK-BSX software automates stressed signal calibration and jitter tolerance testing at all DisplayPort data rates (RBR, HBR, HBR2, and HBR3) with a single setup and runs on any Windows 7 PC or oscilloscope.
DP-SINK-BSX supports all sink devices; USB Type-C display or multi-port adapters, docks, and monitors with either USB Type-C or standard DisplayPort connectors. TP2 and TP3 test point calibration is achieved by simply adjusting the ISI using the Artek CLE-1000-A2.
Link training, compliance, and margin testing through DPCD registers is automated using the Unigraf DPT-200 (reference source with AUX control) for standard connector designs and GRL-USB-PD-C2 for USB Type-C designs. Margin testing stresses the receiver to failure at user-defined jitter amplitude and frequency steps, revealing the true capabilities of your receiver design.
DP-SINK-BSX can be further customized by the user or GRL Engineering using GRL's full KayaQ automation framework. Contact GRL at [email protected] or through your Tektronix Account Manager for further details.
Key features
- Automated DisplayPort Sink electrical calibration and compliance testing consistent with the VESA approved CTS (compliance test specifications) and MOIs (method of implementation).
- Jitter tolerance compliance test calibration
- 100% coverage of sink jitter tolerance tests per DisplayPort PHY 1.4 draft and DP over USB Type-C CTS
- Automated DDJ (ISI) calibration TP2 or TP3 using Artek CLE-1000-A2
- Jitter margin testing with user-defined amplitude and frequency steps
- Simple setup, test execution, and reporting in HTML and .csv formats
- Fully integrated with Unigraf DPT-200 reference source or GRL-USB-PD-C2 (USB Type-C power delivery analyzer) with AUX control for link training and checking
- Automate VESA method of implementation (MOI) using Tektronix test equipment
- Achieve consistent results with rapid calibration and test execution
- Reduce technical risk using an industry accepted calibration methodology

I heard Dr. James Dobson on the radio the other day, and he mentioned that many people have difficulty finding him these days. Actually, it comes from the confusion that results from the fact that he is no longer with Focus on the Family.
Dr. Dobson has helped many people through the years, and one of his books is mentioned on this website. Focus on the Family has provided wonderful resources over the years. Family Talk is the name of the new radio program where Dr. Dobson is now located. It continues to provide help for families in the same way that Dr. Dobson has done through previous years.
So, now there are two ministries that provide great help for families. The focus of this post, however, is to alert people to the fact that they are not finding Dr. Dobson by going to the Focus on the Family website or by listening to radio programs by that name.
If you want to connect with Dr. Dobson, make sure you connect with Family Talk.
Actually, I think they have already taken steps to correct this. If you want to find a website for Family Talk, you will actually find it under Dr. Dobson's name at http://www.drjamesdobson.org/.
Anyway, if you want to find Dr. James Dobson's present ministry, make sure you are finding Family Talk
