[I am planning to expand this older essay into a new essay on naturalist and secular humanist ethics, as part of my blog series "Thinking about the 'Metaphysics' in Metaphysical Naturalism," on my philosophy blog Civitas Humana. As such, some of the content below may be revised in the newer version, which I post a link to here, once it is finished. -MWF 9/29/15]
As a follow up to the requests for further elaboration at the end of my last blog, I have decided to flesh out a framework of where I currently stand on my ethical theory. This discourse is by no means exhaustive of every moral issue or dilemma and my theory is still in development, but it does seek provide a general foundation for addressing derivative moral concerns. Κέλσος is primarily an ancient history blog site, as that is my main background of study. However, morality is a difficult subject about which even scientifically minded skeptics disagree, and apologists all too frequently push the moral issue as a talking point. If we are going to be prepared to confront them on this tactic, we need to each work out a solid stance on this issue. Here is my current perspective on the subject:
Humans are distinct as a species for having both the ability and the tendency to label certain actions and things as "good" or "bad" and "right" or "wrong." In addition, we often make statements of necessity or obligation, arguing that one "ought" or "should" behave in a certain way. What are the implications of such propositions and why do humans make them? When I say something is "wrong," do I mean that it is incorrect in some objective, factual sense, or do I mean that it is undesirable and violates an assumed preference? When I say that one "ought" to do something, what is the basis for the necessity? Typically, "moral behavior" is characterized as pro-social, altruistic, and non-violent (or only defensively violent), whereas "immoral behavior" is characterized as anti-social, selfish, and violently aggressive. Why have we come to conceive of morality in this way and how might we justify it?
The theory I advance here is what I have termed "Normative Ethical Subjectivism." As a naturalist I reject any metaphysical or non-empirical grounds for an ethical theory. Many argue that this causes an impasse, since they claim that empiricism cannot account for value statements. However, I think this depends on how we frame and conceive of morality. To approach the issue I adopt a Goal Theory approach to ethics. Humans are not impartial, disinterested subjects but are beings with needs and preferences. Moreover, humans are a social species of shared "normative" goals, which we obtain as a community. Goals are most efficiently reached not through impulse, but through careful reflection and strategy. The moral life is the strategic approach to best achieving one's ethical objectives. I argue that since our goals as a species are normative, they provide a common basis for us to evaluate and agree upon moral propositions. Self-interest, far from encouraging immoral behavior, when applied rationally is actually the foundation for the pro-social and altruistic behavior that we typically label as "moral." Ultimately, I offer a teleological approach to ethics, where morals serve as means to the end of happiness and self-actualization. If one conceives of morality as something other than this, then I happily elect to be amoral under such alien conceptions and see no clash in the debate.
In order to lay out my ethical theory, I will first need to specify what I mean by certain key terms. The definitions I provide may not be shared by all and some will no doubt view these terms differently. However, for the sake of this discourse, I ask that one understand the terms as I have provided them in order to understand how they relate to my ethical theory. You are more than free to see these terms differently in another context, but there will be confusion about what I mean, if you do not follow the terms as I have laid them out here.
Objectivism: A prevalent term brought up in moral debates is the question of whether morality is "objective." This term often leads to confusion, since "objective" can mean a variety of things, such as "impartial" or "factual" or "true regardless of opinion." I find all of these descriptions to be unhelpful, and so I will provide my own instead. When I say that something is "objective," I mean that it exists outside the mind of a personal subject and is externally substantive. For example, gravity is objective, since gravity would exist regardless of any observer. However, beauty is not objective, since beauty is dependent on the perception of a subject.
I do not find morality to be "objective" for the following reasons: 1) Impersonal natural forces do not exhibit moral affinities. If they did, why not expect hurricanes to curve around cities or fire to burn away from people? Instead, nature functions like a cold, indifferent machine, harming the good and bad alike. 2) The only things that do exhibit moral affinities are sentient beings, which suggests that morality is a conception of the mind, but not some external property of the universe.
Subjectivism: Often times "subjective" is stigmatized by the notion that it means arbitrary or unfactual. However, this is misleading. Beauty is subjective but that doesn't mean that there are no principles or patterns governing aesthetics. Rather, subjective, as I use it here, means that something is cognitive and exists solely within the mind. Subjective things can only be said to exist when a personal observer conceives of them. Morality in my theory is "subjective," because it exists solely as concept of human thought. However, this hardly implies that it is random nor does it entail by definition that it would even be relative. As we will see, subjective things can be normative, insomuch as every personal subject would conceive of them the same, which can provide a basis for making truth claims about them.
Ethics vs. Morals: Before moving further, I wish to distinguish here between "ethics" and "morals." These terms are sometimes used interchangeably, and are often given different meanings in different discourses. For the sake of this discourse, I will define ethics as trans-situational goals that serve as guiding principles and standards for evaluating what is desirable. Morals are the strategic means by which one meets an ethic.
When someone claims that you "should" or "should not" do a certain action, such as: "You should not murder people," what is often ignored is that this is actually a conditional sentence, which omits the "if" clause. In my theory, ethics serve as the protasis "if" clause, whereas morals serve as the apodosis "should" clause. To complete the example: "If you value human life, then you should not murder people." Here the guiding ethic is respect for human life and the strategic means for achieving this ethic is refraining from lethal behavior. To answer Hume's famous "is/ought" dilemma, ethics function as the "is" in my theory, whereas morals function as the "ought."
However, this does not mean that all ethics independently exist apart from each other. In fact, ethics follow a regress where higher ethics determine derivative ones. For example, the ethic of promoting human safety is dependent upon the ethic of valuing human life. I will argue below that the ultimate ethic, to which all other ethics regress, is personal self-actualization, which is the common ethic towards which all of humanity strives. This ethic exists alone per se and is the fundamental "is" governing all "ought" statements.
Ethical Realism: In ethical discourse the term "realism" is often used to describe whether a moral theory claims that moral propositions are factually true or false. This term is often confusing, however, since it is unclear in what sense the proposition is true or false. Is it true in the sense that it describes an external property of nature or in the sense that it describes a cognitive goal and efficient means for achieving it? Due to this ambiguity, I will mostly exclude the term "ethical realism" from this discourse. Nevertheless, if by ethical realism one means that a moral does factually obtain an ethical goal, then my theory arguably promotes ethical realism.
Normative Ethics: To explain how my theory of ethical subjectivism does not make morality random or arbitrary, I will argue that ethics can be "normative." That is, ethical goals can be biologically and psychologically shared among humans to such an extent that all people, when fully informed of themselves, would have a common ethic upon which to base their morals. Given a common criterion, an action can be said to be right or wrong based on whether it promotes or violates a normative ethic. In this way, humans can make moral propositions about good and bad behavior that refer to no external property of the universe, but still bears implications of factual truth, insomuch that they do or do not abide by a common goal.
For identifying a common set of ethics, normative to all human beings, I shall adopt Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as an illustrative model. Maslow observed that human behavior can be reduced to actions meant to serve certain psychological and biological needs. Furthermore, these needs follow a regress from lower to higher needs, where a human first seeks to obtain physiological survival, but later seeks such goals as social acceptance and love. The highest goal is self-actualization, which is the psychological fulfillment and harmony of a person's needs.
Maslow's hierarchy provides a useful basis of common goals shared among humans that can serve as a set of criteria for evaluating whether certain actions are right or wrong in fulfilling these needs. In other words, the hierarchy provides a set of normative ethics upon which all morals are derivative and upon which all moral propositions can be evaluated.
Goal Theory
Given the framework I have provided thus far, it can be said that morals serve as "means to an end," where ethics are the ends and the ultimate end is our self-actualization as human beings. Since then morals serve as strategies for achieving ethical goals, it would be helpful and descriptive to categorize it under a "Goal Theory" teleological approach to ethics. The philosophical inspirators for my approach range from Aristotle and Epicurus to Bentham and Mill to Richard Carrier, from whom I have adapted the term.
Rational Self-Interest
As the common motive for achieving self-actualization, I assert that all humans have an inherent self-interest. Humans are not impartial subjects, but rather goal-seeking beings who have certain preferences. However, simply because we all have self-interest does not mean that we all act according to "rational self-interest." Humans often act on impulse or poor decision-making and commit immoral behavior that actually works against their goals. The moral life, in my theory, is one that employs critical reflection and rational deliberation in order to guide one's behavior towards actions that actually serves one's ethics.
Individual Morality
Given the terms as I have defined them above, each person has an immediate interest in living a moral life. We all have ethics, which serve as the goals of our behavior. These ethics are both normative and psychologically and biologically ingrained within us. Each person has a natural interest in providing for his or her basic biological needs, finding security, maintaining good social standing, promoting emotional esteem, and ultimately achieving self-actualization.
When a person lives morally, they do not recklessly indulge in appetite, but instead maintain an integrity that allows them to strategically meet their needs with a higher probability of success. For example, I could indulge in my lower, short-term desires to eat and drink excessively, but this would violate my higher, long-term goals of health and well-being. The moral life of integrity must be one of critical reflection, where a person deliberates on the long-term consequences of their actions and considers whether they do or do not provide for the things that they actually desire in life.
Individual vs. Social Morality
Of course, I have only provided a justification so far for having personal and self-serving moral life. But how can rational self-interest explain concern for others and altruistic behavior? Don't individual and social interests conflict? In actuality, they do not. In fact, human society exists as a common and efficient means for providing for individual needs through group behavior. When examined, there is no considerable conflict between individual and social morality, since one merely serves as the extension of the other. Below I provide seven reasons for why rational self-interests can justify pro-social behavior:
Trade: The first and foremost foundation for any society is the economic benefit obtained through a division of labor. Humans are capable of producing far more wealth as a group than they are as individuals. Since our hierarchy of needs requires economic goods to provide for them, any individual following his or her rational self-interest has immediate grounds for desiring a society, since society provides for a more productive, opulent, and wealthy society that accommodates both individual and normative goals.
Security: Society next provides for a better guarantee of security. In a state of nature, no force of law or communal code protects one from the violence of another. The fruit of one's labor can be stolen without the recourse of justice, and a life lived in mutual animosity very quickly becomes nasty brutish and short. However, society provides a basis for establishing a code of behavior and means of enforcing that code, which allows humans to have greater security as a society than as individuals. Some social systems, of course, achieve this better than others, but this does not change the fact that any rationally self-interested person has an immediate interest in a society, based on the probability of heightened security.
Insurance: I have pointed out that society provides a greater economic benefit than solitude. However, occasionally I receive the objection that this provides no grounds for being altruistic towards those who are economically inefficient, due to such circumstances as being crippled. However, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, it follows completely from rational self-interest to protect and provide for those who are disadvantaged. This is due to the fact that providing for such services establish a form of social insurance. By helping and promoting the aid of those who are less fortunate, I have a heightened certainty that if I should fall into misfortune that the same insurance will cover me. I take care of the sick and elderly today knowing that by establishing such a system that I can have the expectation of being cared for when I am sick and elderly. Therefore, such forms of altruism are actually in complete accord with rational self-interest.
Self-Image: Through behaving in a pro-social manner, I will gradually receive greater trust, respect, and cooperation from those around me. A socially moral person draws others towards him or her, whereas a socially immoral person repulses them. It follows that if one desires the benefits of social interactions, they will meet it more through socially moral behavior.
However, an important objection can be raised here that it may be to one's benefit to only appear moral, but in fact to operate by an immoral lifestyle. Freeloaders are the embodiment of this behavior, who seek to disguise their immoral behavior in order to parasite off of the benefits of society. Plato perhaps took this concept to its extreme application with his thought experiment about the Ring of Gyges. Gyges had a ring that made him invisible so that he could commit any crime without being caught as the culprit. In effect, Plato removed self-image as a motive for moral behavior.
Below I will provide further grounds for behaving in a pro-social manner that transcend self-image.
Risk Management: It may be possible that one can conceal anti-social behavior for a time and freeload off of society. But I run a risk by choosing to do so. Since such behavior is destructive to others, I must live in constant fear of being caught and facing retaliation. Whereas, if I behave in a pro-social manner I can live with the reassurance that even if all of my actions were visible and made known to the public that they would have no reasonable grounds for retaliating against me. However, the anti-social life must always remain in the shadows seeking to disguise its true nature, running the risk each day that full exposure and resulting destructing come upon it.
Compassion: So far I may have created the illusion that rational self-interest only operates for a callous, material benefit, with compassion never serving as a motivation. However, this could not be further from the truth. In fact, humans are a social species who are emotionally dependent upon each other. By behaving in a social manner, I will have more genuine friendships and lasting life relationships that serve my rational self-interest for emotional well-being. In contrast, if I am anti-social I will create only shallow relationships, become incapable of true compassion, and ultimately be left in despair and loneliness.
In fact, compassion can reveal how certain actions, such as moral suicide, which would seem to defy self-interest, are actually in accord with rational self-interest. By sacrificing myself for another, I am trading a life of mere survival that includes the regretted loss of a loved one for the higher value of compassion without which life would not be worth living. Sacrifice can at times be the highest form of rational self-interest, since it can serve as the pursuit of one's higher goals over lower goals when the two are brought into conflict.
Self-restraint: Ultimately by living with integrity, reciprocating towards others, and embracing compassion, I will achieve a far more disciplined life than merely acting on violent impulses. Another common misconception is that the tyrant's life is the most self-serving, but this once more is not true. The tyrant engages in his or her lower appetites, lashing out on impulse, and ultimately lacking any peace-bringing integrity. A tyrant's life is in fact the most miserable, plunging into a downward cycle of anti-social behavior, making it harder and harder to restrain one's lusts, and ultimately shaping an irredeemable character where one has learned no capacity to serve one's higher ethics.
Tribalism vs. Humanism
Above I have provided grounds for why it serves one's rational self-interest to live morally within a society. However, the objection can still be raised that this only justifies pro-social behavior towards one's immediate neighbors. After all, I benefit from those in my own community, but what about those across the globe? What about those in enemy nations? Does rational self-interest only provide for selective tribalism?
The truth is that most of human history has been a series of frequently brutal tribal conflicts. However, this was severely changed during the 20th century, which brought about two major changes: the capacity for mutually assured destruction through advanced weapons and the capacity for mutually beneficial trade through globalization. The series of increasingly bloody conflicts in the 20thcentury revealed that it was mutually beneficial for all nations to seek international means of maintaining peace. In fact, World War III, which could have been the most destructive conflict in human history and even a full apocalypse, was prevented largely due to the threat of mutually assured destruction. Furthermore, with increased means of global trade, almost the whole world is now one extended community. When one can profit from peacefully interaction with those across the globe and only suffer through open conflict, the result is that humanism best serves rational self-interest.
Tribalism is a thing of the past, suited to an era where violent conflicts could gain temporary plunders, but now in the face of conventional weapons and global trade benefits, humanism is the only rational and desirable course for the future. We enjoy the benefit of living in what is perhaps the first generation in history of a humanist global community. People today are more moral and self-actualized than any other period of history, and the future will likely be better.
The NES Moral Conclusion
Above I have outlined my theory of Normative Ethical Subjectivism. My theory explains how morality does not need to be rooted in some external property of the universe to still provide significant and accurate propositions about our goals. Ethics and morals are inherently subjective, as they depend upon a personal observer with preferences and rational self-interest. However, far from detracting from the importance of morality, it in fact makes morals far more relevant, since they serve as means to the end of our self-actualization. Ethics can further be normative with the result that we will all have a common basis for evaluating moral propositions. It is true that moral relativism can still exist with this structure, but it will largely diminish as experience teaches us more and more about what actions more efficiently satisfy our desires.
What we find from a teleological approach to ethics is that most of the civil, pro-social and altruistic behavior that we commonly label as "good" and "moral" in fact serves a rational utility towards achieving our individual and social goals. The moral life is one of critical reflection and integrity. Through serving a common ethic, humans can obtain trade, security, and insurance. It is true that a person can freeload off the benefits of society if they project a misleading self-image, but even this will deny them the compassion and restraint necessary for a self-actualized life, and there will always be the risk of being exposed. At this point, it could still be argued that this only explains morality within groups but not between groups. After all, even gangs have internal moral codes, but why value all human beings? However, the economic achievements made possible through globalization, as well as the horrendous and undesirable consequences of modern warfare, reveal how universal human rights and thus Secular Humanism is the optimal and only fulfillment of the NES Goal Theory approach to morality.
One objection that could still be raised, however, is that I actually have not provided a basis for morality at all, but merely a strategy for serving self-interest. It would depend, however, on how one conceives of morality. If one defines morality as something that serves its own end that we have a "duty" to abide by even if it makes us ultimately unhappy, then perhaps rational self-interest would serve no point. Nevertheless, in my ethical perspective, this would be the height of any conceivable evil, since morality will have been turned upside down from a means to an end of serving humans to making humans a mere means for satisfying what is "moral." What is even more nightmarish is the thought of placing some divine being at the head of such a despairing moral system, where we serve as mere objects of his pleasures and lust, commanded to obey any moral law that he whims, even if doomed to receive no personal gain from it.
Job is the perfect example of this warped an alien view of morality, the man who sacrificed everything for the sake of what was "moral" without any rational expectation to benefit from it. I can vigorously say that I would not only be an amoralist in Job's situation, but would gladly elect to be an immoralist under such a despairing, irrational, and worthless moral code.

Pakistan Peoples Party on Friday submitted a calling attention notice with the National Assembly Secretariat, urging the Federal Minister for Human Rights to take action against recent incidents of sexual harassment at state-run Pakistan Television (PTV).
The notice comes following television journalist and anchor Tanzeela Mazhar claim that she was harassed by Director Current Affairs PTV Agha Masood Shorish.
According to Mazhar, she was harassed by Masood, following which she filed a complaint only to be told by the inquiry committee that she should have left the job in such a situation.
FC guard booked for slapping female reporter in Karachi
However, TV anchor and Mazhar's colleague warned her not to 'play' with PTV's image.
Talking to The Express Tribune, Mazhar said she has no intentions of defaming the organisation. "I have been associated with PTV for about 15 years, I have no issues with the work environment. It is Agha Masood who is causing problem for women.
Woman harassed by female 'moral police' in Karachi
Several women have complained about him previously, but later withdrew their complaints for one reason or another."
PPPP submits calling attention notice in NA Secretariat
"This year alone, two high-profile cases in PTV came into limelight in which female anchorpersons leveled charges of harassment against their head of departments," the notice submitted by PPP read.
No PTV representative was available for comment.

If you've ever been involved in an office argument, you know what this means. Moreover while speech is one thing, the problem is compounded with email and text communication.
My email/text communication rules:
Have I ever had problems with this? Why do you think I now have rules?
My email/text communication rules:
- Never say anything negative to or about someone in email. If it is important enough to think, it is important enough to be said rather than written.
- Let some time pass before having any conversation in which you plan to criticize someone else. You will often find you see things differently if you do.
- If you need to say something negative about someone to a third person, have them present when you do.
- What about ccing others? If you follow the first three rules, that won't be an issue.
Have I ever had problems with this? Why do you think I now have rules?

David and Marisa
I am happy to bring you David and Marisa's University of Maryland wedding photos!
David and Marisa are friends and classmates with Jon and Bonnie, whose wedding I photographed last year. Like Jon, David is commissioned the Air Force and it was a pleasure working with another fellow service members. Ironically enough, all three of us attended the same school and were commissioned by the same ROTC detachment, what a small world!
David and Marisa held their ceremony at the quaint West Chapel on campus at The University of Maryland and had lots of nice DIY touches that Marisa and her family put together. Before we left for the reception, we traveled around campus while David and Marisa braved the cold February winter day. They were such troopers and great sports!
After the ceremony, the group moved north to the Lodge at Little Seneca Creek which is also where James and Jen were married last year. Much like the ceremony, Marisa and her family decorated the lodge with a number of memorabilia individual to them. As you know, we did not get much snow this year but, a sprinkling came down after we finished our formals and we were lucky enough to capture a nice portrait outside the lodge.
I want to thank David and Marisa for having me. I had a great time with you guys and I wish you two all the best with your new life together. Go Terps!

The busiest, most lucrative time of the year has arrived for the music industry – the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter is a big deal because it encompasses the holiday season, and what better than the gift of music, right? The Wire has a fantastic prediction post that everyone should check out that inspired my own post of similar topic. My list features 14 albums and my personal opinion on how they MIGHT perform on the charts based upon the current climate of the music industry and past sales. There are plenty of links to past articles discussing how previous efforts performed. #Leggo!
1) Chris Brown, X (RCA, 9/16)
Prediction: Brown shouldn't expect much from X for several reasons. One reason is because albums that have been constantly delayed suffer from a loss of anticipation. Also, there is the notion that because the album has been delayed, the artist didn't think it was good enough to release and constant revisions had to take place to make it ago. Brown might open >100,000 as he did with previous albums, or he might find himself underperforming, selling below 100,000 copies. This one is sort of hard to pinpoint for sure, but Fortune only moved 134,000 copies in 2012. It's hard to imagine Brown pulling in F.A.M.E. numbers (270,000 copies), let alone Exclusive ones (294,000 copies).
2) Barbra Streisand, Partners (Columbia, 9/16)
Prediction: Vocal albums tend to do relatively well, and Streisand has managed to maintain a solid following. That said, the star-studded Partners has the propensity to be huge hit (it's Streisand's first proper new studio album since 2011 effort What Matters Most), but 'huge' has been pretty subdued for most of 2014. Being realistic, Streisand will likely sell below 100,000 copies too.
3) Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett, Cheek to Cheek (Columbia/ Interscope, etc. 9/23)
Prediction: Remember how the aforementioned blurb stated, "vocal albums tend to do relatively well?" Well, this might be the one that could excel. Bennett's albums have sold particularly well, namely Duets II, which debuted at #1. Obviously, Gaga has been very successful, though ARTPOP didn't have the same success of previous albums (258,000 copies sold its first week compared to the 1.1 million Born This Way sold). Still, Cheek to Cheek should easily sell over 100,000 copies, possibly closer to the 200,000+ copies mark Duets reached years ago (NOTE: Duets II debuted at #1, but sold 179,000 copies).
4) Jennifer Hudson, JHUD (RCA, 9/23)
Prediction: I love Jennifer Hudson. However, JHUD is lacking in a big-time hit single and her visibility (save for Fashion Rocks) is quite low-key. Because of this, I don't expect JHUD to perform well in the least. This is an album that should sell greater than 100,000 copies, but likely will not achieve such a feat. Between 60,000 and 80,000 copies seems possible, and that's elevated compared to most other R&B acts as of late. Hudson's last album, I Remember Me, sold 165,000 copies its first week, more than three years ago. Hudson's self-titled debut sold a more robust 217,000 copies.
5) Prince, ART OFFICIAL AGE & PLECTRUMELECTRUM (Warner Bros 9/30)
Prediction: Two albums from Prince is like Christmas in late-September for me personally. I'm giddy like a schoolgirl waiting for the Purple One to unleash his quirky, always distinctive new music. That said, one album would likely eclipse the other in sales – it's happened numerous times historically. Likely, I'd bet more on ART OFFICIAL AGE than PLECTRUMELECTRUM, his album with 3RDEYEGIRL. Predicting Prince's sales are difficult, though his recent crop of albums have exceeded 100,000 copies the first week, with the exception being Planet Earth (#3, 96,000 copies).
6) Lady Antebellum, 747 (Capitol Nashville, 9/30)
Prediction: Lady Antebellum won't be hurting for sales by the time 747 materializes, but it's hard to imagine the album being 'huge' like previous blockbusters Need You Now or Own The Night. 2013 effort Golden debuted at a familiar spot (#1), but sold significantly less than the trio's more decorated efforts (167,000 copies). I expect Lady A will exceed 100,000 copies, but won't quite match 167,000 copies. If by some chance they do exceed, it won't be greater than 200,000 copies.
7) Jason Aldean, Old Boots New Dirt (Broken Bow, 10/7)
Prediction: Jason Aldean is a hot commodity as far as country music is concerned. Sure, Luke Bryan has taken over the reins as of late, but look for Aldean to score another #1 album and robust numbers. 200,000 copies wouldn't be far-fetched – Just ask Brantley Gilbert. Aldean moved double that amount with previous album, Night Train, selling 409,000 copies its first week.
8) Florida Georgia Line, Anything Goes (Big Machine, 10/14)
Prediction: After Jason Aldean claims #1 from the previous week, Florida Georgia Line will give country music yet another #1 album. "Cruise" was just too big and FGL will reap the benefits in a big way on Anything Goes. At least 200,000 copies (being conservative), but this will likely be an even more robust album.
9) Neil Diamond, Melody Road (Capitol, 10/21)
Prediction: Neil Diamond likely won't approach the numbers that Aldean or Florida Georgia Line will experience, but Melody Road's potential sales shouldn't be underrated. Diamond is still the man even at his age, and usually when he releases a new album, it's kind of a big deal – selling somewhere in the 100,000 copies ballpark seams quite attainable for Diamond. Home Before Dark sold 146,000 copies in 2008.
10) Taylor Swift, 1989 (Big Machine, 10/27)
Prediction: Can Swift possibly score a third album that sells a million copies its first week? Yes, it is quite possible, and it would be ill advised to bet against Swift. That said, can one album sell 1 million copies in 2014 – it's been a tepid sales year. I hold out the hope that Swift can move a milli, but will prognosticate a bit more conservatively. 500,000 copies minimally, maximally close to the million-mark at 800-950K.
11) Fighters, Sonic Highways (RCA, 11/10)
Prediction: Fighters should be in line for another #1, but will likely have to fend off a red-hot Taylor Swift, who will likely cling onto that #1 spot. Still, Foo Fighters might just be settling for a robust #2 bow at worst. Easily should sell 150,000 copies – could reach/surpass the 200,000 copies mark, like Wasting Light did in 2011.
13) Fifth Harmony, Reflection (RCA 11/17)
Prediction: Fifth Harmony have a potential #2 spot locked up because of One Direction.
14) One Direction, Four (Columbia, 11/17)
Prediction: One Direction will definitely claim #1 once more, but the question is how much will they sell? 500,000 copies seems quite possible, but there's also the possibility to surpass or underperform, depending on how their promo singles impact. Still, 500,000 copies seems about right.

Paying by Credit Card Could Cost You More Beginning Sunday
Beginning this Sunday, retailers in most states could begin charging you a fee when you buy something with a credit card.
But most industry analysts feel competition will limit the number of merchants that actually begin charging a "checkout fee."
This is part of a settlement on an antitrust case involving the swipe fees that retailers must pay every time a consumer pays for a transaction with a credit card.
In July, the largest federal antitrust settlement in U.S. history was reached when MasterCard, Visa and major banks agreed to pay more than $6 billion to resolve accusations that they engaged in anticompetitive practices and price fixing in payment processing.
As part of that settlement, retailers were given the opportunity to charge higher prices to their customers for paying with credit cards beginning on January 27. Before this settlement, the card companies prohibited retailers from adding this type of surcharge.
Merchants can charge consumers using a credit card the same rate they are being charged by the processing company for the swipe fee which is usually between 1.5 percent and 3 percent.
Merchants must disclose the "checkout fee" so consumers need to be looking for notification or signs at the register.
This surcharge can only be applied on transactions with credit cards and charge cards, not on debit cards.
The credit card checkout fee is not allowed in 10 states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma and Texas.
American Express did not take part in this agreement so merchants are not allowed to add a checkout fee when consumers use an American Express card. The irony is that American Express cards have the highest interchange fees of all credit card processors.

[balky internet connection… the missing post, below; still owe you for today. remaining high on the level of work; refreshed view of possibilities for the soul-central benefit]
A paraphrase whose provenance I'll look up tomorrow, via Morgan Jenness: Theater functions to break up our habits.
Strong workshop of Burnt Umber at New Dramatists with an outstanding cast Mary Schultz, Ana Perea, Jan Leslie Harding, Steve Mellor, and Jocelyn Kuritsky. Mia Rovegno directiong, with Jeanette Yew designing, Johnny Oleksinski as SM… in the hallowed halls of New Dramatists. In the vein of building our project up and out for and through family, Harding turned my path as a writer when she first gave a script of mine to Mac Wellman many years ago; Schultz and Mellor both showed me how sane, detailed and human the acting could be in plays experimental in form and language, Perea has worked on my stuff since Austin, Yew was part of the rising wave of the puppet nation that turned my head to that medium, Kuritsky was in St. Plays in college, Mia I'm got to know through the 13P mafia, and Johnny is of a piece with the mighty ND, which is like the hometown of the American playwright.
The script showed itself with new clarity and we're a solid step down the road… But above all the day helped reveal the method and message of the Soulographie project, namely that legacy and exercise of social actions (the commerce of trust) organizes the way forward, and if theater will have an impact on the healing of trauma, it will be from its structural use of this ethic, as much as in the advertisement of any content.

I'm 39 years old. I'm a single mother with three children. My son is in high school and my two girls are in primary. My husband died last year. He had a heart attack. He was 45. He was a mechanic. He used to drink a lot of kava.
Things are very hard for us now. We grow some vegetables at home. I still work weekdays at a garment factory and on Saturdays I do housework for a family for extra money.
Every morning I take two buses to go to work at the garment factory. My friends from work take the same bus. We all get off in the industrial area where our garment factory is based. Some men take the same bus as us ladies. They work in other factories in that area.
There is one man who is always sitting too close to us ladies. Even if there is an empty seat, he will come and sit right next to us. We don't say anything to him because the bus gets very full. But something about it doesn't feel right. He presses his body into us. Sometimes he pretends to accidently brush his hand on our shoulder or knee. But it doesn't feel like an accident. It feels like he means it. And I don't like it!
My friends don't like it either. We are all married women on the bus. We have been talking about what to do. We can't say anything to the bus driver. He is not a friendly man. He won't listen to us. He doesn't care about us. We have been thinking of telling somebody at work about this problem. But we can't say anything to our supervisor, because he is like the man on the bus. When some of us are changing at work, he comes into the ladies' changing room. And he doesn't leave, even though it makes us uncomfortable. He has never touched anyone, but still. He shouldn't be in our changing room looking at us.
Maybe our big boss can talk to the bus company. Or maybe the factory can have a bus just for us ladies. I don't know. I feel like no one will believe us. Or they think it's not important how we feel and what we go through to get to work. I can't afford to lose this job. How will my family survive? I keep quiet. We all keep quiet and put up with him. What can we do to make those men stop behaving like that?

Japan as a Normal Country
America's war in Afghanistan is winding down, but conflict elsewhere, including between China and Japan, now looks possible. Tokyo should get serious about its own defense.
After World War II the United States imposed a constitution on occupied Japan that formally forbade possession of a military. But the world is changing.
Imperial Japan is long gone. Most Japanese citizens seem prepared to defend themselves in a dangerous world.
Moreover, America no longer can afford to protect most of the known world from every threat. Despite the so‐called "pivot" to Asia, U.S. forces will not remain forever.
Tokyo's first duty is to protect Japan. Moreover, the Japanese government should promote regional security, cooperating closely with other countries in East Asia.
For years Tokyo's defense spending only averaged 1 percent of GDP — and has not increased since 2002. Japan doesn't need a large army, which would worry its neighbors. Most helpful would be missiles and missile defenses, as well as additional air and naval assets.
These issues have taken on new urgency in light of East Asia's burgeoning territorial disputes. Japan is squabbling with South Korea over the Takeshima/Dokdo Islands and with Russia over the Northern Territories/Kuril Islands. In both cases Tokyo is contesting the status quo. The disputes are bitter, but unlikely to turn violent. More dangerous is Beijing's challenge to Japanese control over the Senkaku Islands. These five islets have sparked naval clashes, aerial chases, activist flotillas, and domestic protests.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared that the Senkakus are "Japan's inherent territory" so "There is no room for diplomatic negotiations over this issue." Indeed, he added, the solution necessitated, "if I may say at the risk of being misunderstood — physical force."
Alas, Japan would not have an easy time if the two navies engaged. According to Michael Auslin of the American Enterprise Institute:"Tokyo would be forced to turn to the United States for support under the mutual security treaty."
In 2010, then U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton refused to take any position on territorial sovereignty, but explained: "we have made it very clear that the islands are part of our mutual treaty obligations, and the obligation to defend Japan."
In November, then Defense Minister Satoshi Morimoto proposed updating the U.S.-Japan defense guidelines to include the Senkakus.
Unfortunately, issuing blank checks for the defense of weaker allies encourages them to behave irresponsibly — like Tokyo, which refuses to negotiate with China on the Senkaku Islands after politicizing the issue by purchasing three of the islands.
Washington should not put Americans at risk to guarantee other nations' peripheral and contested territorial claims. More broadly, the U.S. should stop treating its allies as helpless dependents. Rather than augmenting American military forces in the Pacific, Washington should begin turning defense responsibilities over to others.
Tokyo is capable of doing more. Abe once criticized the Japanese Constitution for "failing to provide a necessary condition for an independent nation." He indicated that his government will reconsider the informal 1 percent limit on military spending and may acquire amphibious units, ballistic missiles and strategic bombers.
Such increased military activity "may even cause Beijing to think twice about the cost of pushing its military and economic weight around East and Southeast Asia," argues John Lee of Sydney University.
Tokyo also needs to forge better working relationships with its neighbors. Historical antagonisms loom large. Abe exacerbated these concerns by contradicting past apologies for Japan's World War II impressment of "comfort women" to provide sexual services for its soldiers.
Abe, however, has begun to address these concerns. He appointed a special envoy to improve relations with Seoul and took his first overseas trip to Southeast Asia.
Japan's ultimate objective should be to convince China that it has too many prosperous and nationalistic neighbors with expanding militaries to achieve primacy. The more Beijing asserts itself, the more surrounding states will respond.
Of course, the mere fact that peace is in every country's interest does not guarantee peace. A nationalistic storm is building throughout the region. But the possibility of conflict is another good reason for the U.S. to stay out.
America has an interest in preventing any nation from dominating Asia, but no power, including China, will be able to do so in the foreseeable future. But the U.S. has no interest in acting as umpire for bitter territorial feuds throughout the region.
As Washington winds down more than a decade of fighting in Central Asia, some analysts would have the U.S. prepare for war in the Pacific. But Americans should reject this invitation for perpetual conflict. Japan and its neighbors should cooperate to counter Beijing's geopolitical ambitions.

If you have fond memories of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners at your mother or grandmother's house, and you want to invigorate your family's Thanksgiving or Christmas with the taste, aromas and flavors of yesterday, rekindling the spirit of your childhood years, I can't think of a better way to "spice up" this your Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holiday time than by cooking and baking with Watkins products.

Earn Extra Cash Working Part-Time With Watkins

Since 2008 our economy has been in disarray. Joblessness in America now impacts over 25 million people. In most cities is impossible to find a job of any kind. And this is where Watkins offers hope to people needing extra cash. For only $39.95 plus tax, you can begin your own Watkins products business. You can start selling Watkins products and earning 25% to 39% on your sales.
Watkins is not a get rich quick opportunity. But its a real opportunity that has been offering residents of North America a means to start a part-time business and build a full time income over time since 1868. With over 300 products for the home and personal use, many dating back to the late 1800′s, Watkins is a recognized household name and leader in the home products business.
Watkins is what I call a "get rich slow" opportunity, for most Watkins associates start their business as a part-time enterprise and build it up over time. You earn money through personal sales and through sales of any Watkins associates you sponsor personally, or they sponsor. Thus, you can build your own Watkins sales organization and increase you income much quicker.
I'm a Bronze Manager with Watkins and achieved that level in only 4 years working less than 10 hours per week. If you would like to know more about the Watkins home business opportunity, you're welcome to either download my free ebook about Watkins at www.workfromhomegoldmine.com or you can visit my Watkins information website at www.123homeincome.com . Otherwise, if you know you want to join Watkins now and be running your own Watkins business within 2 or 3 days, you can signup now at www.signupquick.com and I'll be your personal sponsor, mentor and trainer.

Do you enjoy cooking and baking? If so, you no doubt have heard of Watkins products — founded in 1868 and manufacturers of the greatest spices and flavorings in the world. Take for example our award winning Double Strenght Vanilla Extract, our fantastic Watkins Cinnamon and Watkins black pepper just to name a few. If you haven't heard of Watkins, I suggest you consider buying these 3 products for start to learn just how great the quality and flavor is with Watkins kitchen seasonings and flavorings.
Most people think "black pepper is black pepper, how could Watkins or any other brand be any different than another?" Trust me when I say this isn't true. In the early 1900′s our founder, Mr. J.R. Watkins, invented and developed a special low friction process for grinding pepper beans to make black pepper. Because of his special patiented grinding technique, our manufacturing process doesn't overheat the essential oils in the pepper bean, making our black pepper taste more vibrant than any on the market. We also don't grind up pepper leaves and stalks, ensuring our black pepper doesn't contain fillers like store-bought black pepper. Thus, our black pepper doesn't make you sneeze. It's the powdered residue of gound up stalks and leaves that cause people to sneeze when they're using black pepper. Since we don't pack our pepper with fillers, we deliver the highest grade of black pepper, not diluted down by fillers, thus providing you that "Wow!" taste the first time and every time you use our product.
The more you use Watkins flavorings and seasonings, the more you'll come to respect our product quality and be willing to try other Watkins products. If you want to see the full line of Watkins products, visit my Watkins products store now by clicking this link: Shop for Watkins Products here!
Building Your Future Retirement Egg With Watkins
Posted on May 19, 2012
Filed Under Watkins Business, Watkins Business Opportunity, Watkins Business Owners, Watkins Home Business, Watkins Products | Comments Off
Three years ago I chose to become a Watkins products associate due to my desire to supplement my retirement income with my Watkins earnings one day. My plan has worked out magnificiently, and Watkins has proven to be an excellent means by which people from all walks of life can build a fantastic retirement income, working just a few hours each week for a few short years. Allow me to explain how by describing what a Watkins work from home business is and how one can build a secure income stream by running a Watkins products business of their own.
First, Watkins Incorporated was founded in 1868 and manufactures 350 products for home and personal use. Since its founding 244 years ago, Watkins has always relied on a work from home sales force to market its fantastic line of products. All products not only come with a money-back guarantee, but Mr. J.R. Watkins, the original founder of Watkins, is alway widely recognized as the inventor of the money-back guarantee (meaning Watkins products were the first products ever made that came with a money-back guarantee.
Not only are Watkins products still marketed and sold by work-from-home entrepreneurs, but today's Watkins has improved its business model by converting the firm to a network marketing company. To those considering Watkins as a money making venture for themselves, this change is very important, because now you can not only make money selling Watkins products, but you can also earn significant bonus income from overriding bonuses paid on sales made by anyone you sponsor or recruit into Watkins, plus anyone they sponsor, and so on.
When I was considering Watkins for myself I was looking for a firm that made outstanding products that consumers love and rave about, products I could sell online or by traditional means, and most importantly for me, a firm that allowed me to build a sales organization of my own and earn money from not only my personal saless, but from sales made by my downline sales organization. And Watkins provides all of these great benefits and features, and more.
So here I am, 3 years later and considered by many to be one of of the most successful up-and-coming associates in Watkins. I've proven that one can build a highly successful Watkins business using online marketing methods and by being a great mentor and coach to all associates in my downline – a responsibility I take very seriously. I provide training to everyone I recruit and everyone they recruit, teaching them not only how to build a Watkins business online, but also teaching associates how to build successful Watkins businesses through traditional means like home party sales, booth sales at craft shows, church bazaar's, fairs, festivals, etc., through catalog sales, etc.
Most importantly, I've proven that building a Watkins business not only allows one to build an ever-growing stream of income, but it's a fantastic source of income if you're considering retirement. Allow me to explain why I make this point regarding retirement income. Let's face it, no one knows how healthy we will be or how much time we can put into an enterprise once we retire. We might, for example, miss up to 3 months of work or more after knee or hip replacement surgery. Under a traditional job or traditional business ownership, we might be force to endure our time of rehabilitation with no income coming in. But if you build your Watkins business (as I have) by both personal selling and personal sponsoring, the ongoing sales made by our downline during times of personal illness, vacation, etc., we will continue to see a reliable income stream. Why? Because you, like me, would be earning bonus income from all the sales made by the downline sales organization you've built.
I'm at a point now after 3 years with Watkins that 80% or more of my income is coming from sales made by those I've sponsored, and people they've sponsored, and so on. And I live with the comfort of knowing that as long as I continue to sponsor new associates and train them how to build their own Watkins business, my income stream will continue to grow and grow.

First DBA's in FM from Sheffield Hallam University
The first two graduates from Sheffield Hallam University FMGC have achieved DBA degrees in Business Administration in FM, one of whom was sponsored by CAFM Developers FSI (FM Solutions) Limited, PFM explains.
The degree offers experienced FM practitioners support while undertaking research projects of direct relevance to their employer, profession or industry, and to produce a doctoral thesis that makes an original contribution to professional knowledge.
Dr Rachel MacDonald, Director of Facilities at North Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Trust, who was sponsored by Concept™ CAFM developers FSI (FM Solutions) Limited through her three years of study, identified strategic leadership behaviours and practices among NHS managers that contributed to gaining excellent PEAT assessments, while Dr Andrew Green created and validated a process of guided self reflection by managers about aligning support environments with the needs of their business.
Professor If Price explains: "We knew then that there were individuals working in FM who aspired to the highest level of degree in the academic system, however, the traditional PhD was a long and lonely process for those in employment.
"Our DBA demanded the same high level contribution to knowledge but focussed more on professional practices and provided opportunities to develop research plans and methodologies in a series of six block weeks over the first two years of the programme.
"Students were able to work in a mutually supportive cohort. To have two students complete successfully within the minimum time limit demonstrates the benefit of the Hallam approach."
Andrew Green and Rachel MacDonald were encouraged by the cohort structure and both submitted and defended their theses within a week of each other. Both, in different ways, addressed the problem of FM engaging with the language of a particular business.
For example, Rachel researched the achievement of a select group of acute NHS trusts in consistently gaining excellent PEAT assessments at all their sites through three rounds of evaluations. Rather than issues of location, budget, organisation or mode of provision, she demonstrated consistent leadership behaviours shown by the relevant FM managers.
She identified the strategic behaviours and practices that would be of real benefit to the modern NHS in leading high performing teams.

On the right side of the faceplate a USB port is hidden behind a small door, and a standard 3.5mm Aux input jack is mounted just below the USB port. Although I personally prefer a rear-mounted USB port so I can hide all the wires and leave my iPod semi-permanently connected, the front mounted method does make it quick and easy to take your music player or thumb drive with you. CD loading and unloading is quick and smooth, and an illuminated eject button behind the faceplate allows easy operation in the dark.
The preset buttons serve double duty as album, repeat, shuffle, and pause controls when you are in CD or MP3 playback modes. My only gripe was the font used to identify them was quite small and lacked good contrast, which made the desired function hard to find until the placement has been committed to memory. A nicely designed small infra-red remote control is also included.
With the CDX-GT660UP connected to my reference system in my quiet and comfortable listening room, I played selections from all the available sources. I listened to the radio, several CDs and, of course, to MP3s via my iPod. Regardless of the source, the Sony exhibited excellent sonics, with very good tonal balance, crisp brilliant detail with any harshness, and strong, tight bass. Stereo imaging was also very good, with a very well defined phantom center image on tracks like Michael Ruf's "Eyes of Love", and Jennifer Warnes' "First We Take Manhattan". The image was not only good left to right, but also had more depth than I expected from an inexpensive automotive head unit.
After a few very enjoyable hours of listening, I came away quite impressed with this very modestly priced units sound. I've heard a lot worse, from much more expensive players. I liked having several different methods available to search for my selected tracks, and the speed of the search function was nice and quick. The remote control also worked great and, most importantly, it was easy to use without looking at it.
My only quibbles were the amount of button presses and knob rotations to adjust things like the balance and fader settings, and once in a while I found myself wishing that the subwoofer level adjustment was easier to get to in the menu, because I would have used it more often.
On the Bench
Back in the lab, as I expected after having listened to it, the Sony's tech specs proved to be exemplary for a unit selling for about $150 (US). Frequency response was extremely flat on both the amplified outputs and the RCAs. Source impedance, a spec important to noise avoidance, was also commendably low at less than 100 ohms. Measured signal-to-noise in CD mode was better than advertised, and the internal amplifier actually produced more power than it was rated at. I applaud Sony and other manufacturers for using the CEA-2006 amplifier ratings on their headunits, and publishing factual information. And in this case, even understating the actual performance!
It never ceases to amaze me how companies like Sony can cram so many high tech features and great sound into a product that virtually anyone can afford. The DSP features, three sets of pre-outs, a great CD transport, an excellent AM/FM/RDS tuner, iPod/iPhone/Pandora/SiriusXM compatibility. I don't know how they do it, but I'm glad they do, and if you pick up one of these astoundingly good units for yourself, you will be too.
