Parents can pay maintenance for their children or any child of the family to the parent or person with care, either through the court or by using the statutory Child Maintenance system (the administrative system set up by law for England and Wales and Scotland). The statutory Child Maintenance system is made up of three organisations, the Child Maintenance Service (CMS), Child Maintenance Options and the Child Support Agency (CSA). To use the Child Maintenance system, the people involved (parents or person with care and children) must be habitually resident in the United Kingdom. All new applications to the statutory scheme have been managed by the CMS, with a program currently underway to end the liabilities in all exsisting CSA cases by the end of 2017.
Parents can pay maintenance to their children under the age of 18. Upon application a "child" over the age of 18 can receive maintenance from the parent for further education, where they are undergoing training for a trade, vocation or profession or where there are special circumstances (Children Act 1989 Schedule 1).
Child maintenance can also be paid by parents who live apart from their children using the CMS (or the Child Support Agency for almost all arrangements which existed before December 2013). The CMS determines maintenance through an administrative rather than a judicial process – if the child is under 16, or is under 20 in full-time education which is not advance education (at school or an equivalent educational establishment), or is under 20 and living with a parent who has registered for Child Benefit for them. It is paid to the parent or the person with care. Either parent or the person with care of the child can apply to the CMS. The amount is calculated by the CMS. The weekly payment is made by the non-resident parent, either directly to the parent or person with care (known as Maintenance Direct or Direct Pay) or using the CMS "Collect and Pay" service, for which a fee must be paid (see below).
A divorced spouse can pay maintenance to the other spouse. Maintenance can be paid to either party to the marriage. An ex-civil partner may also have to pay maintenance to the other ex civil partner and to any children of the family.
See the answer above. No age limit is specified in the Children Act 1989 Schedule 1.
When parents separate in England and Wales, before they can apply to the CMS they are required to contact Child Maintenance Options for advice and information to help them make an effective arrangement about maintenance for their family. This can either be what is called a "family-based arrangement", which is an arrangement between themselves, or an application to the CMS. Parents cannot access the CMS unless they have first spoken to Child Maintenance Options.
If a parent decides they cannot make a family-based arrangement, they must pay a fee to apply to the CMS. The current fee information is available on the Government website. You may not have to pay a fee if, as the applicant, you are under 19 years of age, a resident of Northern Ireland, or have made a declaration of domestic violence which has been reported to an authority recognised by the CMS. Payment of the fee should provide the applicant with services: a CMS calculation of payments based on the paying parent's income, tracing of the paying parent, managing shared care and variation of payment. The calculation of the maintenance to be paid is based on a percentage of the paying parent's income according to the number of children to be paid for. The CMS does not guarantee that any payments will result from their work.
If the parent then wishes the CMS to collect and pass on maintenance payments, they must pay an additional fee. If parents agree to pay each other directly (Direct Pay) only the application fee is required. Users of the CMS who want the CMS to make the payment using the Collect and Pay service must pay collection fees. For the paying parent this is an additional 20% on top of their usual child maintenance payment. The receiving parent will have 4% deducted from the amount of child maintenance they receive. The collection fees can be avoided by having a family-based arrangement or paying by Direct Pay.
The paying parent must also pay a fee to the CMS for enforcement actions by the CMS, which are orders made by the court against the paying parent who has not paid the maintenance due.
For child maintenance, anyone such as a friend, relative or a legal adviser (e.g. a lawyer in England and Wales) can make an application on behalf of a parent or person with care of a child. The parent or person with care will need to authorise the person making the application to do so, unless they already have authority, for example a power of attorney. In England and Wales an application cannot be made on behalf of a child as children cannot apply for child maintenance in their own right.
A request in England and Wales for reciprocal enforcement of maintenance can be made on behalf of a child or of a divorced spouse or ex civil partner or on behalf of other persons where the relevant international convention or agreement on the reciprocal enforcement of maintenance so provides.
For applicants in England and Wales, applications can be made to one of three Maintenance Enforcement Centres, depending on locations, for England (excluding London), London and Wales.
The administrative staff at the court will provide information if a different court needs to be addressed.
An application for child support maintenance is an administrative process handled by the Child Maintenance Service.
Applicants for the reciprocal enforcement of a maintenance order are not required to have a lawyer to apply to the court for recovery of maintenance under the various international conventions and agreements. The application received from another country will be sent to the location of the family court in the area in which the respondent resides or to the originating court by the Central Authority for England and Wales.
Applicants under the Children Act 1989 Schedule 1 are not required to have a lawyer to apply to the court.
For recovery of maintenance, legal representation is not usually required and fees are not required in the majority of cases. Where legal representation is required legal help and assistance is available, but is subject to a means and merits test in some cases; the applicant may be required to pay a contribution.
For the recovery of maintenance, the court can grant an order for child maintenance, spousal maintenance, or child/spousal maintenance. The court can make an order for periodical payments, a lump sum, settlement payments or secured periodical payments. The court or the CMS can in appropriate cases decide that maintenance is to be backdated. Account will be taken of all the circumstances of the individual case in deciding whether to backdate and in assessing the amounts. Application can be made to the court at any time to vary an order for maintenance.
The people eligible to receive maintenance are set out at question 1 above.
The courts in England and Wales deal with payments to individuals. However, the Reciprocal Enforcement of Maintenance Orders (REMO) Section in the Office of the Official Solicitor and Public Trustee has a role in processing some payments from the United States of America.
The Child Maintenance Service provides a calculation, collection and payment service. If non-resident parents are late with payments, the Child Maintenance Service will try to make sure that they pay all the child maintenance they owe quickly, including the use of various enforcement methods.
For the recovery of maintenance, the court can order payment to be made directly to the court; the court can order a particular method of payment; the court can make an attachment of earnings order; the court can make the orders shown below when applied for by the CMS.
For child maintenance using the CMS, if a non-resident parent does not pay their child maintenance liability, the CMS will take the necessary action to make sure that they pay the child maintenance due. The Child Maintenance Service has a range of powers it can use. These include taking money direct from earnings and bank accounts and taking court action (enforcement action). If necessary in extreme cases, the court may be asked to take away the non-payer non-resident parent's driving licence or even send them to prison.
None for the enforcement of maintenance orders.
The CMS must consider the welfare of any child who may be affected by any decisions of the CMS about how quickly it requires arrears to be paid and how much must be paid each time.
For child maintenance collected using the child maintenance system, the relevant organisation is the CMS (see above).
For child maintenance administered by the CMS, it can only pass on money it receives, where appropriate. It is not able to pay the maintenance, or part of it, itself or in place of the non-resident parent.
The Central Authority for England and Wales (REMO) cannot take responsibility for making payments.
You should apply to the REMO Section based in the Office of the Official Solicitor and Public Trustee.
Reciprocal Enforcement of Maintenance Orders is the process by which maintenance orders made by United Kingdom courts on behalf of United Kingdom residents can be registered and enforced by courts or other authorities in other countries against people resident abroad.
This is a two-way arrangement governed by international conventions or agreed schemes, which means that foreign maintenance orders in favour of individuals abroad can likewise be registered and enforced by United Kingdom courts against United Kingdom residents.
How to apply -
A United Kingdom resident who wishes to apply to obtain maintenance from a person overseas should approach:
The addresses of the courts can be found on the website of Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service.
They may apply for their order to be enforced in the country where the payer resides. Procedures also exist to enable an applicant to ask the authorities of another country to create an order for maintenance on their behalf.
There is no need for the applicant to engage a lawyer. Court staff will tell the applicant what form to use and will forward the application to the relevant authority, which for England and Wales is the REMO Section.
The authority will check that the application is in order and send it to the foreign authority or court for registration and enforcement against the person living there.
Applications from outside the United Kingdom must be sent to the REMO Section for transmitting and receiving applications for maintenance enforcement if the non-resident parent lives abroad. REMO will forward the application to a specified court with the jurisdiction to deal with the case.
For child maintenance it is only possible for the Child Maintenance Service to make a maintenance calculation where both parents or the person with care and the child are habitually resident in the United Kingdom or the non-resident parent is working outside the UK as a British civil servant, diplomat, member of the armed forces or seconded health worker or is working outside the UK for an employer which is a registered company with its payroll based in the UK. The income from abroad subject to UK taxation of a person habitually resident in the United Kingdom can be taken into account for any child maintenance calculation.
Under the EU Maintenance Regulation 4/2009, the Child Maintenance Service is also able to apply to other EU countries to recover arrears of maintenance.
The REMO Section can be contacted at:
Reciprocal Enforcement of Maintenance Orders (REMO)
Official Solicitor and Public Trustee
Victory House, 30-34 Kingsway
Telephone: 020 3681 2757(within the UK)
+44 20 3681 2757 (international)
e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Generally, detailed legal advice to applicants or others is not provided. However, general procedural guidance can be given. The precise nature of reciprocity available between the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions depends on the convention or agreement to which the other country is a party and the REMO Section can provide advice about how the various conventions may apply to a particular case.
New applicants must first apply to Child Maintenance Options before aplying to the Child Maintenance Service . Child Maintenance Options can be contacted on telephone number 0800 0835 130 from within the United Kingdom or by visiting their website.
If you have an existing Child Support Agency or CMS case, the contact telephone number is on any letter they have sent you.
See the answer above. Application can be made through a Central Authority or court in the foreign jurisdiction where the applicant resides. An application can also be made from another country direct to REMO.
For child support maintenance the Child Maintenance Service only has jurisdiction to make a maintenance calculation if the applicant and the child are resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom (that is, Scotland or Northern Ireland).
The contact details for REMO and the Child Maintenance Service are given above. The assistance provided by REMO is described above. The circumstances when the Child Maintenance Service can and cannot accept an application are detailed in earlier answers.
The United Kingdom is not bound by the 2007 Hague Protocol and therefore it does not apply in England and Wales.
The law of England and Wales applies to all cases in England and Wales.
For recovery of maintenance, legal representation is not usually required and fees are not required in the majority of cases. Where legal representation is required legal help and assistance is available (Chapter V), but is subject to a means and merits test in some cases; the applicant may be required to pay a contribution. As part of legal help, an assessment can be made to decide whether the nature of the case means full legal aid should be applied for.
The Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments (Maintenance) Regulations 2011 (SI 1484/2011) support the operation of the Maintenance Regulation 4/2009. Regulation 3 and Schedule 1 designate the Central Authorities for the United Kingdom and set out their role in the transmission of applications. Regulation 4 and Schedule 2 set out which bodies are to provide information to the Central Authorities (including information on the debtor) and provide rules on the proper disclosure of that information by Central Authorities.
Paragraph 18 of Schedule 1 to the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 sets out the availability of legal aid in England and Wales in accordance with the Maintenance Regulation.

After about five weeks and thirty-five times on the scale, she starts getting frustrated. No weight loss. It's not happening! Then here it comes: "See, it's not going to happen for me. There's something wrong. This is too much time and effort and money to be spending if I'm not getting anywhere. This was a mistake. It's my metabolism, it's menopause, it's my genetics. I'll never lose weight. It doesn't work. I'm failing again."
I understand completely. I really do. It took me two years working with my trainer before I lost any weight. I got frustrated. I didn't believe it would happen for me. I wanted to quit.
I am so very grateful I didn't. What I didn't know was during those two years, amazing things were happening that I just couldn't see yet:
I was maintaining my health.
I was boosting my metabolism.
I was building muscle.
I was getting strong.
I was developing core strength.
I was developing consistency and accountability.
I felt so much better about myself.
My brain chemistry was healing.
I was becoming more confident.
I was feeling empowered.
I started giving up my excuses.
I was dealing with my past.
My heart was healing.
As all this was happening, something else started to happen. I started to WANT to go walk. I started to WANT different food. And my compulsion to eat when I was stressed or upset began to heal.
I started to believe this was possible after all.
Then I lost weight. Slow and steady. Maybe two pounds a month for about two years. A little slower than that towards the end of the two years. I am not sure really, I stopped caring how long it would take somewhere in there. I realized that the gifts that came with each pound far outweighed the pounds themselves.
Every pound lost represents something that must be dealt with first. These are personal to each of us. If you are someone who is stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, you cannot lose weight without dealing with that. Deal with it first then watch that pound fall away. If you are someone who makes excuses and doesn't take responsibility, you cannot lose weight without dealing with that. Deal with it first then watch that pound fall away.
This is the truth. This is how weight loss works and why diets and weight loss surgery don't. You can't will it to happen from the outside in. You can't control it with counting and tracking. It is an inside job.
For most of us, this is great news. (I know it doesn't sound like it yet, but trust me.) For me, food and inactivity and all my other self destructive and compulsive behaviors were in place to keep me from having to deal authentically with what was going on inside. That is why, when I would try to quit them, it felt like all hell was breaking loose. They were like Band-Aids keeping the wounds and pain at bay. Had they been ripped away from me all at once, I'm pretty certain I would have died. There was just too much stuff underneath.
Authentic weight loss is a slow process, but it is an amazing process. It has so very little to do with food. It is about learning how worthy we are of respect and care. It is about knowing we are strong enough to sit with very painful or uncomfortable feelings without needing to escape into food. It is about learning we are empowered to make any change we want in our lives and believing that it is possible.
Don't miss out on the gifts by wanting to be thinner right now. Being thinner won't change your life. The gifts absolutely will.

I want to play Furoticon!
Now it's time to start the Furoticon gaming panel. Tonight's flavor: Team Sealed, followed by Constructed!
Sorry, comments are closed for this article.

I did the Team Sealed and had super fun. I will definitely be playing again next year
on Jan 23rd, 2013 @ 06:29 PM
i wish i could have been there sadly can only goto a limited number of cons a year
on Jan 22nd, 2013 @ 06:17 PM
It was lots of fun! Bought the dragons starter and two packs, and there in pic I'm fixing it up a bit to make it more consistent. Got lots of trading in too! Do you see a lot at other cons or is it still pretty rare?
on Jan 21st, 2013 @ 04:18 PM
wanting to play Furoticon this week :3
on Jan 21st, 2013 @ 11:42 AM
Hope it was fun! Just ordered my first two decks of Furoticon just now! Can't wait for them to get to me! :3
on Jan 21st, 2013 @ 11:30 AM
Woot, hope you had a fun time at FC. I do wish I can attend that convention in the future.
Hope you had a blast!
on Jan 21st, 2013 @ 10:50 AM
Sweet, wish I could be there and join in the fun.
on Jan 20th, 2013 @ 11:27 PM
That's me and my cards in the upper left. Or really my hand and my cards but still...
on Jan 20th, 2013 @ 08:45 PM
It's always good to hear about the game becoming more popular.
on Jan 20th, 2013 @ 04:40 PM
I'm so bummed I haven't been able to play, staff duties and other obligations (plus forgetting to bring my cards to the con) have kept me from joining and participating in the tourneys and free plays. =(
on Jan 20th, 2013 @ 02:56 PM
OMG yes i been wanting to go to one of these for so long
on Jan 20th, 2013 @ 10:17 AM
@mewyk91 - There won't be any Furoticon tournaments or anything (the cost of traveling to conventions in other countries besides the US is prohibitive,) but you should check out ConFurgence or Furry Down Under sometime. WikiFur is generally the best source for information about furry cons, although there's surprisingly little coverage of anything else.
on Jan 20th, 2013 @ 02:20 AM
I would have so loved to have been there lucky
on Jan 20th, 2013 @ 01:00 AM
It's a shame all of the conventions seem to be in the USA. A con or two would do wonders for those here is Australia.
on Jan 19th, 2013 @ 11:52 PM
I would really love to go to a con and play as well, too broke though :(
on Jan 19th, 2013 @ 09:03 PM
I should go down to the game shop by my house with a friend and play would help get word out for the game in my area
on Jan 19th, 2013 @ 09:01 PM
I hope to be able to get to go to a con and play one of these days.
on Jan 19th, 2013 @ 08:46 PM
*southern accent* I do not agree with the expert's opinion

Some dentists prescribe and administer medications to help patients relax during the appointment. Talk to your dentist about your concerns and ask him or her about the possibility of using dental sedation. Sedation dentistry involves the use of medications to allow you to relax and feel sleepy during a dental visit or procedure. However, sedation is not pain medication, so you may still require local anesthesia, depending upon the treatment. There are a variety of sedation dentistry methods.

Data Modeling - (Business) Rule
> (Data|State) Management and Processing > Data Modeling (Relational Database, Code, Graph, Text)
Table of Contents
1 - About
A business rule is a statement that defines or constrains some aspect of the business process.
According to the white paper by the Business Rules Group, a business rule falls in this category:
- Definitions of business terms (Entity)
The most basic element of a business rule is the language used to express it. The very definition of a term is itself a business rule that describes how people think and talk about things. Thus, defining a term is establishing a category of business rule. Terms have traditionally been documented in a Glossary or as entities
- Facts relating terms to each other (relationships and cardinality),
E.g. a customer can place one or many order is a business rule. Facts can be documented as natural language sentences or as relationships, cardinality, attributes
- Constraints (also called "action assertions")
Every enterprise constrains behaviour in some way, and this is closely related to constraints on what data may or may not be updated. To prevent a record from being made is, in many cases, to prevent an action from taking place.
- Derivations (calculated or deduced)
The business rules can be completely represented in a logical data model
A business rule is known:
In the datawarehouse (ETL/ELT) field, the business rules are applied on the data through transformation rules such as:
- expression,
- filter,
- pivot.
2 - Articles Related
3 - Example
Example of a business rule for an application that will register submitted papers:
- Each Committee ChairedBy at most one Person
- Each Person who chairs a Committee must also IsMemberOf that Committee
- Each Reviewer Reviews at least one Paper
- Each Paper which is WrittenBy a Person must not ReviewedBy with that Person

"Even though the transtion happened during the busiest time of the year, Peter was always available to answer my questions. He and Jean Fallago were equally knowledgeable and worked together as a team to give my practice the attention that it needed. During the entire process I knew that the Almonte Fallago Group had my best interest in mind. Working with Peter and Jean is like working with family."
"It was a pleasure working with Peter and Jean. You found a wonderful dentist to take over my practice, and labored diligently to make the sale happen. You created a win-win situation for me and the buyer. Both Jean and peter are true professionals."
"It has been a pleasure dealing with Peter and I would like to epxress my sincere gratitude to him for his efforts in marketing my practice. He was always available to answer any questions that arose, brought many potential buyers to view my office, and kept in close contact during the entire time that he was engaged as my broker. His diligence resulted in a successful sale of my practice in a difficult economic climate and for that, I thank him."
"It was a pleasure working with the Almonte Fallago Group. Your knowledge of specifics of dental practice transition was most apparent. Peter's calm, professional manner and attention to detail made the entire process proceed very smoothly."
"My experience with the Almonte Fallago Group in my practice transition was above and beyond what I expected. Peter Almonte was always highly professional and provided a wealth of helpful information. He was always available for any buyer or seller questions and meetings; he helped resolve any conflicts or misunderstandings. He was able to negotiate a win-win for both parties. Peter is an experienced professional who puts alot of energy into all his transitions.
"Finding the right practice for me was no easy task. I looked at practices in six states in the Northeast before I found the right one, and I really feel that The Almonte Fallago Group's capabilities and understanding of my needs was the key to this great match. I trust them."
"When I purchased my practice, The Almonte Fallago Group was right on the money about location and practice potential. I trust their knowledge of practice transitions, their experience, and their integrity."
"The Almonte Fallago Group made selling my practice quick and painless."
"When I first talked with The Almonte Fallago Group, I had substantial loans from dental school. Peter demonstrated to me that it would take years to pay off my loans if I remained an associate. He also showed me what I could earn if I bought a practice. With their advice on how to obtain financing, I went for it. Now I couldn't be happier that I did."
"The Almonte Fallago Group is the consummate deal maker. When I sold my practice, I marveled at how effectively they negotiate. Always professional and courteous. Always patient. They listen to you as if you're the most important person in the room."

The exhibition "Deutschland sucht" (Germany searches) was shown at the Kölnischer Kunstverein in 2004 with the support of Dornbracht Culture Projects and provided insight into contemporary tendencies of young art in Germany. In doing so, the project critically grapples with the format of the overview exhibition. Curators from different regions of the country were invited to name three artists each that were little known in the art scene at the time of the invitation. Despite this, the curators were to characterize their work as significant for current developments in contemporary art. The exhibition title "Deutschland sucht" (Germany searches) makes reference to the country's present day society. A reference to the context, in which art in Germany came about at this time.

Eric Berry quoted in the AJC after the game today....(paraphrasing) Kiffin guaranteed that Tennessee would never lose to UGA as long as he's there.
Kiffin was quoted as saying that he believes the UGA game is the most important game on Tennessee's schedule. One of his most important goals as the UT head coach is to dominate recruiting in the state of Georgia.
Mark Richt needs to lose his "stoic" demeanor and get with the program, or go coach in the ACC. Nice guys do NOT finish first in this conference at the present time. Grow some balls or go somewhere else.

Attitude reflects leadership...act like you give a sh*t CMR and show some passion and maybe your players would be inspired to play with some. I'm sure as a player it's hard to care if you know all you are going to get is a "good job" or "good try" for your efforts.

Vancouver Island eagles died from lead poisoning: report
Wednesday, February 03 2010 @ 02:14 PM EST
Contributed by: jkr
PORT ALBERNI, B.C. — Two Vancouver Island eagles that died last spring were killed by ingesting lead — possibly from eating fishing jigs or discarded lead shot, toxicology reports show.
The North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre recently received toxicology reports on two eagles submitted for testing in March 2009. The two eagles from the Parksville and Qualicum Beach were severely emaciated and had no fractures or visible hemorrhaging.
Just one or two ingested lead pellets can kill a bird, and it usually takes only 10 days from ingestion until a bird displays visible symptoms of lead poisoning being displayed. How long the lead takes to kill the bird depends on a number of factors, but it's usually a matter of three weeks to six weeks.
Canada banned lead shots in the mid-1990s.

LLC Basics
Business owners form their company's legal structure as a limited liability company, or LLC, for a variety of reasons, one of which is that state LLC laws do not require that the LLC be run with the formality of a corporation. This means that an LLC does not have to hold regular meetings, keep minutes of meetings or document company action in the form of a written resolution.
State Law Record Requirements
State LLC laws often include a requirement that an LLC maintain certain records at its principal place of business, such as a copy of the LLC's articles of organization or copies of tax filings. Some states, such as Washington and Florida, require an LLC to keep a "written statement" specifying, among other things, each member's capital contribution and any right to receive a distribution of the contribution. An LLC resolution can be used to meet this record keeping requirement.
Transaction Requirements
State LLC laws provide that an LLC can be managed by all its members or by a designated manager or managers. Although members can be managers, the members can designate a non-member as manager. Depending on the management structure chosen, it may not be apparent to an outside party, such as a bank, other financial institution or government agency, who is authorized to sign contracts or otherwise act on behalf of the LLC. In these situations, an LLC resolution is required to indicate to the outside party who is in charge. In some situations, the outside party will provide a form of resolution to use.
Documenting Important Decisions
An LLC resolution can also be used to document important decisions made by the owners, usually referred to as members. For example, the decision to enter into a long-term lease or sign a contract with significant financial risk should be documented in the form of a resolution that describes the action to be taken, that the members met and discussed the matter and that all members approved the decision. This can aid in avoiding future disputes in which a member may claim to have not been informed or had an opportunity to discuss the matter before a decision was made.

How to Beautify House Number Signs with Plants and Outdoor Lights
Plants and lights are two beautiful ideas to emphasize the originality of your house number sign. Decorated and well-illuminated numbers not just help find your home, but give a lovely accent to your front door or house exterior. Number plates are important details of outdoor home decorating. Stylish outdoor lights illuminate the numbers beautifully at night, while planters turn house number signs into fabulous yard decorations.
Have a look at gorgeous designs of planters and number plates with lights. They are functional, attractive, and inspiring. Outdoor lights help significantly in the emergency situations, make homes look inviting and keep streets safe. Containers with plants add an eco-friendly vibe to home decorating.
Ideas to highlight house number signs
Decorative grasses, cacti, succulents, and flowers look charming in metal and concrete planters with house numbers. Corten steel, wood or concrete are fabulous materials that create beautiful contrasts with plants. Gray metal color is a naturally neutral color choice for the designs, while rusty brown colors of Corten steel add a warm touch to house number signs.
Recycling for beautiful lanterns
Elegant house number sign designs
Contemporary outdoor lights that illuminate house numbers make them glow in the dark emphasizing the style of design. Creative ideas and elegant lamps help beautify exterior designs and make a home feel welcoming. Light adds warmth to metal numbers, and increase the effect of gorgeous wood and metal combinations.
Glass numbers glow in the dark showing off elegant contemporary designs. Cut out numbers let Corten steel pass the light creating an amazing effect of creative illumination. Some designs are customized, but many ideas are easy to implement. The simplest, but very original and charming way to personalize your home is to use flower pots and paint your house number in contrasting color.

People who are interested in Radiohead The Police David Bowie should consider this download.
Christopher Sluka - singer, songwriter, musician, and performer - has now recorded eight studio albums with over 100 original songs which have been released throughout the world. After several years performing on the New York club scene, his first big break came in 1988 when he was approached by some Japanese record executives after a concert. They were impressed by the syncopated gothic groove rock sound of the band, the melodic explorations of his voice, and the almost psychedelic adventures underlying his distinctive and emotive songwriting. They invited him to record one of his songs in Los Angeles to be released as a CD single in Japan. The song, "Sunday''s Child," did so well that an album deal followed. SLUKA was signed to Meldac, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi, for two albums. "Emotional Battlefield," which includes Sunday''s Child, was the first Sluka album and recorded in Tokyo, Japan in 1989. • "Fear of Ordinary Life," the follow-up album was also recorded in Japan at the base of Mount Fuji in 1990. • After recording the 2nd album and touring Japan, the band relocated to Switzerland to promote the music in europe. • The 3rd SLUKA album "Lost In This World" was recorded for CGD/Time-Warner in Milan, Italy in 1993. Produced by Stefano Pulga and Matteo Bonsanto. Coinciding with the record releases were concert performances, TV, radio, and press promotion. He gained experience from his love of "live" performance to which he credits the strength of his powerful yet sensitive voice and his inspired songwriting. Of course, He hasn''t achieved this success all by himself. He was fortunate to work with some of the most gifted and talented musicians in the world. • Christopher was born near Seattle but raised all over the world never spending more than a few of years in any one place. In addition to music, Christopher is a visual artist and his rather surreal oil paintings have been shown in galleries in New York, San Diego, Tokyo, and Milan. He is an avid distance runner and he enjoys flying airplanes. After many years of living abroad, Sluka returned to the USA in 1994 to live in San Diego where he purchased the Javanican Coffee House in Pacific Beach. A second coffee house was opened in Mission Beach. Christopher has performed many times at both locations. • "A Matter of Perception" was his first album recorded in the United States. It was released through his own label, Steel Flower Music, in 1997 and produced by his brother Denis Sluka and Ron Llear. • "A San Diego Zoo" was released in 1999 and found exposure through the internet at sites like https://www.tradebit.com, & iIunes. • "Social Anxiety" was released in 2001. This album delves into danceable Gothic Rock steeped in rythmic acoustic guitars, complex drums, and the spacey keyboard-like vocals of Jennifer Hart. Musically, the album is a unique mix of acoustic instruments & synthesized sounds. Lyrically, Sluka explores the erotic side of social pyschology. • The SLUKA Compilation Album: "Songs From The Set List" was also released in 2001. This Collection of 20 songs, taken from the first six Sluka Albums, was remastered and enhanced especially for this compilation. The songs were chosen because they were the most often performed "live" at Sluka concerts during the summer european tour of 2001. • "Gothic Cavalier" was the next studio album and includes a bonus DVD that contains a video of the title track and "Live" performances from concert tours throughout the world as well as interviews, TV appearances, documentaries, and videos for songs released during the previous 15 years: released 2004. • In October 2008, after 15 years of ownership, he sold the coffee house business to focus on the writing and recording of a new album. • "Solo Flight" is the 8th Sluka album released March 17th, 2009. It contains 16 new recordings. As the title suggests, this album is a solo effort. An additional challenge was to write and record songs that would utilize only an electric guitar, a drum machine, and a single lead vocal expressing the melodies with visceral biting lyrics. All the tracks were recorded "live" in the studio (as a listener would hear them "live" in concert), without the use of studio effects, edits, or overdubs. • Christopher Sluka has also been an aviation enthusiast all his life. He has a Masters Degree in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle University. He currently holds a Commercial Pilot''s License and is a Gold Seal Certified Flight Instructor (CFI, CFII, MEI) by the FAA with over 3,000 hours of flight time. He is the Assistant Chief Instructor for National Air College, Montgomery Field Airport, San Diego, CA.

Sleep Apnea Surgery
For some sleep apnea patients who can't or don't want to be treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, surgery is another option.
More about sleep apnea surgery
- The Downside of Sleep Apnea Surgery
- A Chronic Snorer's Surgery Success
- Health Risks of Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Surgery is more invasive and carries more risks—and its results don't always last forever—but surgery can often provide relief and freedom from sleeping with a mask and machine every night.
You can also ask your doctor about newer, cutting-edge procedures that are gaining popularity: Some include polyester throat implants, radiofrequency lasers, and tongue repositioning.

Getting Started
- An injured worker must report an injury to the employer immediately. If the injury is not life or limb threatening, the injured worker selects a doctor from one of two medical providers that have been designated by the employer to treat the injuries. The physician selected by the injured worker becomes the authorized treating physician for purposes of this injury. Unless physically or mentally unable to do so, the injured worker must also notify the employer of the injury in writing within 4 working days of the injury.
- The employer notifies its insurance company (insurer) of the injury within 10 days of having been notified or having actual knowledge of the incident. This often takes the form of an Employer's First Report of Injury.
- Unless the claim is denied, related medical benefits are paid and the claim is resolved without incident.
If the employee loses time from work in excess of 3 days (or 3 shifts); OR there is likely to be permanent impairment; OR the employer disputes the claim:
- The Insurer must file an Employer's First Report of Injury with the Division of Workers' Compensation. Within 20 days of notice of the injury, the insurer must state a position as to whether it accepts liability for payment of benefits (filing an Admission of Liability form), or denies liability for payment of benefits (a Notice of Contest form). The insurer is required to mail a copy of its decision to all the interested parties in the case.
- If the claim is admitted, authorized medical benefits will be paid in addition to wage replacement for lost time from work (beginning on the fourth full day of lost time, if the total amount of time does not exceed 2 weeks; or on the first full day of lost time from work if the loss exceeds two weeks.)
- The insurer will issue a Final Admission of Liability when all issues have been addressed, including temporary disability benefits, permanent impairment, disfigurement and medical benefits.

Chocolate-Raspberry Brownies
To add variety to your brownies, swirl creamy peanut butter or sweetened cream cheese that has been loosened with a bit of cream in place of the raspberry jam in the second step.
- 8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 4 oz. unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam or preserves
Melt the butter and chocolate
Preheat an oven to 325°F. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan.
In a small, heavy saucepan over low heat, combine the butter and chocolate and heat, stirring often, just until melted. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
Mix the batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla until blended. Whisk in the chocolate mixture until completely blended. Add the flour and whisk just to incorporate. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a rubber spatula. Spoon the raspberry jam in dollops over the batter, then run a knife through the batter a few times to achieve a marbled effect.
Bake the brownies
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs still clinging to it, about 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Using a sharp knife, cut the brownies into squares and serve. Makes about 16 brownies.

My love for Frozen really can't have gone unnoticed by regular readers. Really regular regulars may also recall that, over the summer, I sat down with the film's producer, Peter Del Vecho, for a chat.
We caught up again just before the weekend, and I tried to dig a little deeper. I was interested in the particular role he played in this film, and how the Disney system works, with its vertical integration, producers collaborating with directors, and – in this instance, at least – a crunch to make a tight schedule.
Here's some of my conversation with Peter. I held back a few spoilery things and pieces about other Disney movies for another, more appropriate time.
BC: How hands on are you as a producer?
PDV: I think very hands on. I'm at every story session, every recording session. I have several parts to my job so I try to get to each department approval session though, a lot of times, while the directors are doing animation approvals, I may be off doing marketing or other areas of my job. But for the true development of the story, I'm there every step of the way.
BC: So give me an example of how this might be manifest in your day.
PDV: It's a two and a half year process for me, so it changes depending on what phase we're in. In the beginning a typical day would see the first two hours spent on a video conference with Bobby and Kristin, our songwriters, along with Chris and Jen [the directors and co-writers] talking about character, talking about character arcs, story, about what it is we're trying to do with this movie. This is long before they write any songs. Then that evolves when Jen writes a script or they write a song. Let it Go is a good example. When Bobby and Kristin wrote Let it Go, it finally told us a lot about Elsa as a character and Jen then had to go back and rewrite the entire first act. There's a lot of collaboration, a lot of back and forth in elevating the movie.
Now, we screen the movie for ourselves every twelve weeks, as a storyboard, and we'll bring in all the other writers and directors at the studio to watch it with us and they'll give us notes. We always say it's like we've dismantled the movie, then they all leave and we have to piece it back together again.
BC: Let's think about one of those video conference calls as an example. Can you clarify exactly what you're doing as opposed to what Chris and Jen would be doing at that point.
PDV: My job is to make sure that the vision Chris and Jen have for the movie gets up on the screen. That can take many forms. It can be about putting the right team together, including Bobby and Kristin as the songwriters; it can be making sure that everyone in the room is contributing in the right way. But I also have my own opinions and Chris and Jen welcome that. They understand that they are the directors but they have an opinion as to what I think works or doesn't work in the movie and I voice that on an equal level with them. It's their job to decide what they want to do from there, but we're very trusting of each other. It's a very safe environment in which we talk about everything.
The only thing I will override on is if I think something is going too far for the brand or isn't going to represent Disney well.
BC: And where's that line?
PDV: It's not about what's right or wrong, it's about how we always want – and this is something they [the directors] would agree with, but sometimes in the heat of things, you forget – you always want the humour, for instance, to come from the character or come from the situation, not come from a cleverly written line that references pop culture.
BC: Sure. That's what those other guys over there do, right? Leave that to them.
PDV: Occasionally we'd have a very funny lyric that Bobby or Kristin would write and you'd have to say "Ah, it's too suggestive" so they'd rewrite it. And then they'd usually come up with something even better so it's not like that's problem that comes up often. But it is part of my job.
And really, it's about it hiring the rest of the staff that's going to help make the movie that they want to get up on the screen.
BC: Do you think about the MPAA rating at all?
PDV: No. Not really. We're clearly making a movie for everybody, so the scene has to play on multiple levels. When we're even just reading the scene it should play for kids, it should play for adults. If it doesn't, the scene isn't working and we'll go back and rewrite it until it is playing on those multiple levels. But if a movie ends up with a G rating or a PG rating – in this case, in the United States it's a PG rating – we're fine with that. Obviously, we don't want to cross the line into anything higher than that. This is a film that should play to anybody who comes into it. They should love it and enjoy it and be able to feel good about it.
BC: It seems vertically integrated at Disney Animation, different from Disney live action not to mention other studios, and it reminds me of the old studio system.
PDV: And that, I think, makes us unique. I think being vertically integrated is what allows us to make a movie like Frozen. I mentioned that our time frame was relatively short on this movie. Two and a half years is a really short amount of time and, in my opinion, the only way you can [make a film in that time] is if every member of the team knows what is happening in the story room at every step of the way, and they can already be changing how it is they approach their part of the job. If you start to separate that out, the communication breaks down and that ability to be plussing the movie goes away. That's how I think stories could somehow fall short.
BC: That's two and a half years counting from what exactly?
PDV: From the time I joined the project. They already knew they wanted to make a movie and a script had been written, and John Lasseter said "I want to make that movie." So now I hired the story artists. Everything that comes after that, from beginning our internal screening process to completing the movie is two and a half years.
Now, originally, we were supposed to come out in 2014 but the studio asked us part way through if we could be ready for 2013. Frozen is the first [Disney animated] movie to come exactly a year after the last, Wreck-It Ralph. Before that, it had been a two year space but now they want to start doing a movie every year so we were asked to truncate our schedule and come out for 2013.
BC: And what was the hardest part of that tight schedule? Where did that extra crunch really get you?
PDV: In the overlap in trying to develop the story but also being in production. Normally, the overlap is such that there's a lot of story done before you start production. When your time frame shifts, the overlap is more and what's difficult about that is that you're making changes to the story while you're making the movie. So your communication has to be really fast and really good, otherwise people are wasting their time doing something that has now changed. That was the biggest challenge.
BC: Has that resulted in more deleted finished animation from this film than would be typical?
PDV: No, actually. We were very, very fortunate. I think the songs helped a lot with that and there were some songs, like Let it Go, that we knew were going to be in the movie even though we were rewriting the entire first act. We could put that song sequence into production with confidence and they were animating that. A lot of it had to do with holding hands and saying "This part of the movie, no matter what else, we're going to hold to."
BC: Another thing that sets Disney Animation aside is that your films aren't just compared to all of film, people look at them in a bracket. Every Disney film is compared to all the other Disney animated movies and there's an awful lot of it going on. "It's like Tangled," "It's not like Tangled," "It's the best one since…" and all that goes on. How does that look from the inside?
PDV: You know, and this is honestly true, obviously you're aware of the legacy that Disney has and you're aware that you're trying to create a story that will live up to that legacy, but once you've started working on the project, your sole focus every day is in "How do we make this movie as great as it can be?" and you're not thinking about "How does this relate to Tangled? How does this relate to Wreck-It Ralph?" You're just thinking "What is it we're trying to say? Are we saying it well? Is the movie compelling?" and it takes a long time to get the story working. So your focus is on that, not on the externals, and I think that if we worried too much about how a film compares to something else, or even the legacy before us, we'd get overwhelmed with that.
BC: At that moment you joined up, those two and a half years ago, did you have an option? Was it this or something else?
PDV: Um… yes…
BC: So, why this one?
PDV: Several reasons. I always like to be involved in what I think is going to be a big movie and the most challenging to me, and any time you're trying to incorporate scope and scale. For us, this is a very big, complicated story. We have a lot of plot but also a lot of subplots going on. And Chris Buck had a really good idea of how he wanted to end the movie and that resonated with me. Then on top of that, the idea of bringing Bobby and Kristin in and making it a musical. I love big challenges.
BC: If they said to you a week before release that something had gone wrong with all of the cinemas in the world and you could have an extra six months would you have said "We've wrapped it" or would you have said "Okay, what can we do with this time?"
PDV: The film has really evolved into something bigger than we imagined and it's done that on every level from story to the way it looks. Would we keep working? Yes we would. But we're really happy with the way the movie has turned out. There's nothing now that I think we would say we'd go back and change, we really like the way it's turned out, but that said, we work every single moment to plus everything until we can't any longer. I'm sure there's something we'd keep tweaking.
Thanks again to Peter for taking the time to speak with me. Frozen is screening now across the UK and the US and it comes fully recommended.

Reality talent shows are more than finding the next Big Star. It is also a great platform for showcasing the resilience of the human spirit, the power of hope and ultimately the grace of God. For the 20 semi-finalists of GCGT Season 7, this is more the case than sheer luck.
For talented drummer, Deborah Oladipupo, the road to the semi-final hasn't been a walk in the park. Starting out at an early age of 5, her artisan dad and trader mom were marvelled at her drumming talent when she participated in GCGT Season 3 four years ago.
But cementing her place in a traditionally male field was never going to be easy so she's had to work even harder and longer. Deborah participated in the third and fifth editions of God's Children Great Talent but did not make it past the auditions. Not giving up, she registered for the 7th edition and after various stages emerged as one of the 20 semi finalists performing to the audience. But just when she finally got a semi-final pass, life happened.
Deborah almost quit her dreams and years of hard work because her parents could not afford to pay for her trip to Lagos, but for grace, resilience and hope.
"I got the invitation to boot camp late. I had no money, neither was I prepared for it. I felt so discouraged and confused. I thought of quitting but God raised help for me from my church and I am forever grateful for not giving up."
Similarly, when 19 year old Esther Benyeogo lost her dad a few years ago, it seemed like the end had finally come and she would never be able to get a good education or achieve her dreams in life. But together with her mum and siblings, she trudged on and secured admission into the University of Benin where she's studying English and Literature. While studying, Esther still found time for her first love – singing. She had participated in a campus talent hunt but did not win. Yet she never gave up. Today, Esther is one of the 20 GCGT7 semi-finalists selected from a sea of talented youngsters.
Gospel Rap protégé, Goodluck-Enoch Ajirireloja wrote his first rap song "Baba God dey" at age 5 with no assistance from any adult. He performed publicly for the first time at just 7 years old and never looked back. Now 9 years old, the gospel rapper who 'can't go to bed without listening to music' will be performing at the semi-final show with the hope to win a spot at this season's finals of God's Children Great Talent. It's a tall ambition considering the caliber of talents in this year's semi-final, but you can't bet against hope, can you?
Then we have Sophia Albert. The 10 year old Spoken Word performer, who has never gone a day without her parents, also has hope of claiming a spot in the finals. Sophia had to spend a full week at the bootcamp with no family around her.
The seed of hope continues to grow among these contestants as they each prepare for the semi-finals. Even Joseph Odi from Port Harcourt, who loves drumming so much, Kehinde the fantastic 9 year old dancer, 19 year old Emmanuel Osahor who has mastered the art of expressing the deepest of human feelings through dance, and fantastic 20 year old singer Gloria Ekundayo are eager to showcase their talent in the semi-final episode this Saturday.
Other contestants include Spoken Word artist Raymond Oguche, Joshua Malcom the beatbox contestant, Drummer boy Joshua James, Emmanuel Balogun the violinist, Anderson Peter, an eight year old Saxophonist and Bafunso Damilare who also makes the Saxophone look so easy to play. It's the same feeling you get when you listen to these amazing vocalists Udoye Emmanuel, Favour Samuel, Immaculate Benibo, Hope Basil, Nengi Donald Jaja and Angel Okorite Amieyeofori.
Each of these 20 super-talented contestants from different regions in Nigeria anticipate winning a place for the grand finale of God's Children Great Talent Season 7. Watch the semi-finals episode today on NTA at 9am, HIPTV 1:30pm, EbonyLife 6:30pm and Wazobia Max by 7pm. This same episode will air on Silverbird TV by 10am on Sunday.
God's Children Great talent (GCGT) is Africa's Biggest Youth Talent Competition. An initiative by City of David Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in partnership with The How Foundation continues to identify and celebrate talents in children and young adults from age 5 to 20 years.

The Komodo toolbox stores all your commonly used tools (userscripts, snippets, links, etc). It can be found in the right panel in Komodo, although you can move it to any panel you wish.
The Toolbox sidebar is for storing "tools" - bits of code that you can quickly add to Komodo to automate tasks, integrate external tools, or just store snippets of text or links.
The following types of tools can be added anywhere in the Toolbox sidebar:
To show and hide the Toolbox sidebar click the Show/Hide Right Pane button in the Workspace toolbar, click View|Tabs & Sidebars|Toolbox, or use the key binding for your platform (e.g. "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "L").
The top level of the Toolbox sidebar is considered the global toolbox. This is an area for tools that are generally applicable for any file you might be working on. Tools can be grouped into folders to keep them organized.
There are also two optional toolboxes indicated by special toolbox icons in the sidebar:
To add an item to the toolbox: click the Tools menu button and select the type of tool you want (e.g. "New userscript..."). A relevant dialog box will open with options for the tool. Clicking "OK" adds it the new tool at the top level of the Toolbox.
To add an item in a specific place: right-click on the desired folder or toolbox, and select Add|New... from the context menu.
To remove an item: select it and hit the Delete key or right-click on it and choose "Delete" from the context menu.
To move tools: drag tools or directories between folders and toolboxes or cut/copy paste anywhere in the Toolbox sidebar.
There are two folder names that have special behavior in Komodo:
Tooboxes are stored as special directories containing a file for each tool.
The individual tools are stored in JSON files with a ".komodotool" extension.
The toolbox menu and context menu have options to help with saving, importing and exporting tools and directories. Files with the ".komodotool" extension or directories containing those files can be imported, as can legacy (5.2 and previous) Komodo toolbox files in ".kpf" format.

text: BUSINESS German Police Raid Offices Of Former Premiere Boss Georg Kofler 11:45 AM PDT 5/25/2011 by Scott Roxborough FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Kofler has always denied manipulating subscriber numbers at German pay-TV group. COLOGNE, Germany - German police on Wednesday raided offices belonging to Georg Kofler, the former CEO of German pay-TV group Premiere, now called Sky Deutschland. The raid was part of an ongoing investigation into suspected fraud and stock manipulation at Premiere in 2007, when Kofler ran the company. German stock market authorities have accused Premiere of reporting 600,000 more subscribers than they actually had at the time. The figures, which claimed Premiere had more than 3 million subscribers, were reported just before Premiere carried out a capital increase. Since subscriber figures are one of the most important numbers used to judge the financial health of a pay-TV company, the high number likely boosted Premiere's stock price. Kofler sold his shares in Premiere before leaving the company. Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. bought a controlling stake in the group, renaming it Sky Deutschland. In 2009, after looking at the books, Sky reported that it had more than a million fewer subscribers than previously reported. Company stock nosedived, the authorities began their investigation and Premiere shareholders filed lawsuits against the company and Kofler. Kolfer has always maintained his innocence, arguing that there are several legitimate ways to measure subscriber figures and that "Premiere, during my term there, was always correct in its reporting." The investigation continues. Sky continues to lose money but has reported a steady increase in its subscriber numbers, which currently stand at 2.7 million.

Ali Edwards has announced via her newsletter that she is partnering with Studio Calico for the relaunch of her brand and her website, aliedwards.com.
Edwards had recently terminated licensing agreements with Technique Tuesday for stamps and Designer Digitals for digital products, promising major changes were coming. Her website is currently down for reconstruction, but in the newsletter Edwards gave a sneak peek of what to expect when it relaunches later this week. She promises "you'll find the blog, projects & galleries, and a pre-order for a monthly subscription. Over the course of the next few weeks a shop filled with many of my go-to items and a classes pages will go up."
All of this will be made possible via a new partnership with Studio Calico, who will provide logistical assistance for the kit and shop. Edwards has a long relationship with Studio Calico, as a member of their kit club creative team and as a user of their products. In the past few years, her Creative Team work has been almost exclusively focused on the company's Project Life kits.
The newsletter also included a video that shares a vision of scrapbooking for the future of the Ali Edwards brand:
So why the rebranding and relaunching of the website? "For many years I've worked with a variety of different companies to create products and host workshops. I'm beyond excited to announce that I'm bringing everything together into one place," Edwards explains in the announcement.
"Synergy" gets a bad name as a buzz word but that appears to be what Edwards is going for with the rebranding. Bringing all of her product lines under one roof gives her an element of control she previously did not have and it gives her the ability to market in ways she couldn't before. Edwards' brand, as successful as it is, has never reached a height of success that reflects the true level of influence she has exercised on the industry.

I must admit that the pressure canner does intimidate me some what, but every time I use it, I get better results. I had to remember what I had learned last year, which was my first year pressure canning. Luckily, I posted my lessons on my blog and you can find them here. I found it very helpful to review these.
I ended up with 7 quarts of mixed green beans, yellow beans, carrots, celery and onions. And 7 pints of mixed carrots, celery and onions and 3 pints of just celery and carrots. These will come in handy over winter when I want to make a big pot of turkey quinoa soup or some other yummy soup.
I am not sure about the difference in hot pack and raw pack on the end result scientifically, but I tried both methods to see which one I liked best. For appearance, I preferred raw pack. The veggies in the picture below were canned using the raw pack method and I think they look very appetizing. When I canned the quarts of beans with all the other veggies, I used hot pack and those veggies are quite drained of colour and don't look that appealing. I'm sure they will taste great in soup though:)
On a side note. Here are some pictures of a storm heading our way last night. I didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't as bad as it looked:)

"Ethics, Evolution, and the Coincidence Problem: a Skeptical Appraisal"
Abstract: It may seem to require an extraordinary coincidence if the moral beliefs that have evolved under natural selection turn out also reliably to be true, given that matters of truth and falsity are irrelevant in accounting for the selection-pressures shaping human moral psychology. According to Street, this Coincidence Problem represents a serious objection to meta-ethical realism. I identify a number of problems facing her argument, suggesting that the appearance of a problem is misleading: a commitment to a coincidence of this kind need not be unacceptable for the realist. Central to my argument will be an analogy between the Coincidence Problem and the Fine-Tuning Problem in the philosophy of cosmology. I show that the seriousness of the Coincidence Problem as an objection to realism depends ultimately on controversial questions in the philosophy of probability, Bayesian epistemology, and the philosophy of religion.
DPhil thesis
Evolutionary Debunking Arguments in Ethics
Abstract: I consider whether evolutionary explanations can debunk our moral beliefs. Most contemporary discussion in this area is centred on the question of whether debunking implications follow from our ability to explain elements of human morality in terms of natural selection, given that there has been no selection for true moral beliefs. By considering the most prominent arguments in the literature today, I offer reasons to think that debunking arguments of this kind fail. However, I argue that a successful evolutionary debunking argument can be constructed by appeal to the suggestion that our moral outlook reflects arbitrary contingencies of our phylogeny, much as the horizontal orientation of the whale's tail reflects its descent from terrestrial quadrupeds.
