Transcendentalism never came to an end in America. It just went underground for a stretch, but is back in full force in Robert Brandom's new book. Brandom takes up Kant and Hegel and explores their contemporary significance as if little time had expired since intellectuals gathered around Emerson in Concord to discuss reason and idealism, selves, freedom, and community. Brandom's discussion belongs to a venerable tradition that distinguishes us as rational animals, and philosophy by its concern to understand, articulate, and explain the notion of reason that is thereby cast in that crucial demarcating role.
An emphasis on our capacity to reason, rather than merely to represent, has been growing in philosophy over the last thirty years, and Robert Brandom has been at the center of this development. Reason in Philosophy is the first book that gives a succinct overview of his understanding of the role of reason as the structure at once of our minds and our meanings—what constitutes us as free, responsible agents. The job of philosophy is to introduce concepts and develop expressive tools for expanding our self-consciousness as sapients: explicit awareness of our discursive activity of thinking and acting, in the sciences, politics, and the arts. This is a paradigmatic work of contemporary philosophy.
[An] important book…Brandom is an important philosopher with astonishingly systematic scope.
Brandom is one of the great, original thinkers of our era, and this book is vintage Brandom… Brandom demonstrates how some central ideas of the idealism of Kant and Hegel have retained their power to animate receptive and imaginative philosophical minds even today.
Brandom's expertise ranges over a bewildering array of topics, from philosophical logic and semantics to cognitive science and political philosophy, and his ability to integrate positions in these areas within a single philosophical framework is remarkable.
Reason in Philosophy provides the first systematic, comprehensive, and accessible introduction to the work of Brandom, one of the most influential philosophers working in metaphysics and epistemology today. This exciting collection of essays delivers a powerful, elegant argument for a version of a currently unfashionable view—a transcendentally inflected rationalism—and also provides readers with a mature philosopher's carefully reasoned, fully felt philosophical framework.
This book represents a new collection of papers by one of the most important systematic philosophical thinkers of our time. As such it will be welcomed by those already familiar with Brandom's thought. At the same time, by connecting his views to familiar historical themes, Brandom has provided what is, to my mind, the most accessible route into his often dauntingly complex ideas, a route strongly recommended to those new to his work.
This work is a formidable achievement that demonstrates deep historical knowledge and awesome hermeneutic and systematic philosophical powers that, in this degree, are conjoined at best in a handful of people alive. This is in every way a superior work of philosophy, and shows why Robert Brandom holds a singular position in the discipline worldwide.
- Robert B. Brandom is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh and a Fellow of both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the British Academy. He delivered the John Locke Lectures at the University of Oxford and the Woodbridge Lectures at Columbia University. Brandom is the author of many books, including Making It Explicit, Reason in Philosophy, and From Empiricism to Expressivism (all from Harvard).

CEO, Dallas Mavericks
"I was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer in December 2010. I started chemotherapy a month later. I called upon my faith, family, friends, and great medical professionals to help me. I was very public about my journey because I couldn't face it or fight it alone. I focused on the 'can' in cancer, knowing that I was uniquely equipped for the journey. It was unexpected. It was brutal. I still have side effects from chemo. But I am cancer-free. I am blessed."
Sandra Bond Chapman
Founder and Chief Director Center for BrainHealth
"My first husband died when I was in the middle of my doctoral program. I was paralyzed and felt as though I could not continue a single day more on my track. All hope seemed to disappear when he died. But his deathbed wish for me was that I would finish my PhD and someday have a center to help the patients and individuals I cared so much about to discover new pathways of brain repair and resilience. I carried on, and his wish inspires me still."

"My dream in life was to follow my father's footsteps and join the Air Force. But when I went to enlist, I was PDQ'd (permanently disqualified) because I had eczema. My professional life, as I saw it, was over. But once I changed my mindset, I went all in on my career with Yum! Brands. As a result, I have not only achieved my personal goals, I'm able to positively influence and impact lives globally on a daily basis."

LeBron James returns, but Lakers outplayed late in loss to Clippers
They see it — Lakers coach Frank Vogel and star big man Anthony Davis predicting the Lakers are on the cusp of a long winning streak.
But the images on the court, the mistakes that plagued them in Friday's 119-115 loss to the Clippers at Staples Center, have made it tough enough to win on any night, much less 10 in a row.
As the Lakers fought to grab their first lead early in the second half, LeBron James stood in front of the Lakers' bench, his arms wide and his eyes too. He wanted the ball and Davis never saw him, instead trying to force a pass inside to Dwight Howard that the Clippers easily defended.
Minutes later on the defensive end, James sprinted from behind Paul George to try to force a steal, leaving Marcus Morris in the corner. Howard was slow to rotate and James was left sort of shrugging while the Clippers hit an open three. Davis later misjudged a touch pass to Malik Monk, with Reggie Jackson easily swiping it and taking it the other way, where Morris hit a three while being fouled by Talen Horton-Tucker.
Lakers star LeBron James voices his frustration over being placed in the NBA's COVID protocols even though he supports the league's safety rules.
And that was just the beginning.
In the fourth quarter, it was missed free throws and offensive fouls keeping the Lakers from ever nudging ahead, each mistake almost immediately responded to by the Clippers. It was that way all game — approach and retreat, approach and retreat, approach and retreat.
Then, it was just defeat.
"We had our chances," Davis said.
The Clippers celebrated on the Lakers court inside the arena they share, fighting off every possible comeback with a parade of better execution and timely shots and putting the finishing touches on a win in which the Lakers never led.
Morris and Luke Kennard found the gaps in the defense in the biggest moments, the two hitting huge shots to smother the last comeback attempts. The Clippers scored 68 points in the second half, with Morris and Kennard scoring 32 of their combined 40 points in the final two quarters.
"We had plenty of chances to take the lead, but they made some big shots," Davis said. "… Just little things didn't go our way and they came down and made some tough shots."
The Lakers had five players in double figures led by Davis' 27, with James adding 23 in his return from the health and safety protocols and Malik Monk scoring 20 off the bench.
The loss is the latest failed attempt to grab any real momentum on a game-to-game basis, the Lakers plugging one hole only to find two or three more leaks.
"We're working on things and getting better, but it is part of the challenge," Vogel said.
LeBron James returned after missing a game in the NBA's COVID protocol, but it wasn't enough to prevent the Lakers from losing to the Clippers on Friday.
Needing spacing and some offensive punch, the Lakers moved James and Carmelo Anthony into the frontcourt alongside three guards to stretch the floor to its greatest potential.
It worked — the driving lanes opened and the three-point looks became clearer, the ball falling through the basket on nearly every trip down the court.
But with that problem solved, the Lakers' defensive deficiencies became fully unmasked with Clippers reserve center Isaiah Hartenstein blowing by James off the dribble and getting to the rim as he scored seven quick points against the lineup.
The Lakers hope, eventually, that Horton-Tucker can be a part of the answer on that side of the court.
Early Friday, Horton-Tucker's arms spread wide across the lane while George yo-yoed a dribble between his hands. Such moments are the ones Vogel wants, the Lakers' 21-year-old wing standing across from the opposition's best perimeter player and forcing him into tough shots like he did with George on a handful of possessions Friday.
"To me," Vogel said before the game, "that's the hope — the hope that whatever perimeter player we're playing against tonight, he can draw that assignment. But he's still a young player, and we have to put him in those situations before we can make that evaluation."
Vogel used a revamped starting lineup Friday, using Horton-Tucker and Howard with James, Davis and Russell Westbrook. Avery Bradley and DeAndre Jordan, the two players Vogel replaced, both failed to crack the rotation.
The change, like most of the moves at Vogel's disposal, could yield only marginal results at best.
The bigger issues seemed more like fundamental flaws — the ways the Clippers were able to pack the paint early while the Lakers clanked jumpers and the ways the Lakers couldn't get stops when the game was on the line both are problems that have nagged the team through the first quarter of the season.
The Lakers on Friday did manage to mostly corral George, limiting him to 19 points on seven-for-20 shooting, but he hurt them other ways with eight rebounds and nine assists.
Luke Kennard, one game after being critical of his play, has 19 points off the bench and makes two key three-pointers late in 119-115 Clippers victory.
Davis was very good, pulling down 10 rebounds, and James, fighting off rust after not playing since Sunday because of a false positive on a COVID-19 test, added 11 rebounds and six assists.
But the pair combined to miss six free throws while the Clippers hit 21 of 24 from the line.
"Make 'em," Davis said when asked how the Lakers could improve at the charity stripe.
It was a simple answer after another 48 minutes of evidence that their problems could be a little more complicated.

One of Ghana's favourite highlife musicians, Gladstorm Kwabena Akwaboah Jnr., known by his stage name Akwaboah Jnr has eulogized Ghana's most celebrated rapper Sarkodie for teaching him to be himself and not do things for fame.
In an interview with 3music with the Culture Daily Squad, the singer discussed several topics from songwriting, his Black Stars song 'BRING BACK THE LOVE', intellectual property to Sarkodie, Highlife, money, and metrics.
About when he was signed by Sarkodie and the significant change it made in his life, Akwaboah said "Yes! And you see and that's the part people actually don't get. It got to a point where people were like 'Charley you go fit do this thing, why you dey under Sark? That guy is killing your vibe…'"
"…wherever Sark is, God bless him. He's been a very great inspiration to me" he added.
He also disclosed the times he wanted to make uptempo songs, and also narrated how Sarkodie give him the lifetime advice of "…if you want to do this – the uptempo songs – it's fine, I can help you. Do it! But when you go down, there's nobody to pick you up…"
Akwaboah mentioned how Sarkodie cautioned him not to lose himself and musical strength and went ahead to shoot a video for him, which is HYE ME BO.
He concluded by saying "…and that advice has been in my head till date, never to lose myself all in the name of trends…"

$24.95 - $34.95
Completely renewed, sporting a dynamic tread pattern design.
Matches with a race bike, as well as a classic city road bike.
Available in a wide range of dimensions and colors.
PureGrip Compound
Based on activated silica compounds, this technology was originally intended as an performance level compound, but after intensive development at our Korbach Research and Development Department Facility, an advanced new compound with outstanding grip and cross-country properties was developed. This new rubber mix, given the self explanatory name "PureGrip", is ranked just behind our BlackChili Compound and is being used in our performance products both in the road and mountain bike sectors. Whilst providing great grip, it is also long lasting and highly durable – both characteristics of Continental tires, which are exclusively manufactured in the factory in Hefei (Asia).
Suitable for E-Bikes
For our E-Bike tyre we fall back on over 100 years' experience with moped and motorcycle tires. All of our city/trekking tires are rated to a standard speed of at least 25 km/h. Those tires marked e50 are also certified for S-Pedelecs. With their high quality structure, puncture protection is high and the rolling resistance is low offering protection from premature wear brought about by the additional driving force.

The Noun Phrase in English
Past and present
Building on a substantial earlier literature, the chapters in this volume further advance knowledge and understanding of properties of the noun phrase in English. The empirical material for the papers includes both historical and present-day data, with the two often shedding light on each other in a process of mutual illumination. The topics addressed are: the structure of nounless NPs like the poor and the obvious; the article/zero alternation in expressions like go to (the) church; developments in the early history of adjective stacking; the semantics of N + clause units in present-day English; the history of N + BE + clause constructions; and the decline of two anaphoric NPs in Early Modern English. The volume will appeal to scholars working in this area and will also help those interested in the general field of English grammar to keep abreast of recent methods and results in NP-related work.

London, UK June 22nd 2012 – Planning for events and parties can be difficult for guests as well as organisers. Choosing the right outfit means first determining what would be considered appropriate before then locating that outfit, opting for the right colour, and buying accessories that complement the look perfectly. Fortunately, leading ladies fashion retailer Country Casuals has opened the virtual doors on its massive sale with up to 70% off items on their website; items that include occasion dresses and some of their latest clothing and accessory lines.
The British summer is unpredictable at best. When planning for an outfit it can be difficult whether to take a chance on a sunny day and clear skies or err on the side of caution by wearing something more appropriate for the rain. Happily, with the right outerwear and other accessories, it is possible to enjoy the best of both worlds and by buying outfits at sale prices it is even an option to buy an outfit for either eventuality and wear the most appropriate on the day.
Ladies should consider the type of event that they are attending to help them choose the most appropriate items. The perfect outfit to wear to a wedding, for example, will be different to the ideal boat party. In both cases it is possible to find occasion dresses and outfits that use appropriate colours and design to create the most appropriate style and look.
CC is one of the leading ladies fashion retailers on the high street and also offers their clothing and accessories via their website at CCFashion.co.uk. Their current sale offers as much as 70% off many lines and shoppers can find the perfect outfits and the ideal accessories to accompany them.

A Swedish man in his forties who was convicted of manslaughter in the killing of a female prostitute in Thailand in 2005 may soon be facing the death penalty.
Kenneth Eriksson, a native of Kramfors in northern Sweden, was sentenced in 2006 to five years in prison for the killing.
But prosecutors have appealed the ruling and are now seeking the death penalty.
Prosecutors want Eriksson to be convicted for premeditated murder, according to the Allehanda newspaper.
Eriksson has been awaiting a new trial for two years and has written to Sweden's Ministry of Foreign Affairs for help.
"The prison I'm sitting in is, according to others, probably the worst in Thailand. I'm not being subjected to physical violence, but mentally it's tough to be here," Eriksson wrote in a letter to Sweden.
He was convicted for having assaulted a woman to death in a hotel room in Pattaya.
Following the deadly assault, Eriksson then hid the woman's body in a trunk which he then dragged out of the hotel and dumped in a field not far from the hotel.
He then checked out, but hotel security cameras had already captured images of him taking the victim out of the building.
Police in Thailand launched a manhunt for Eriksson, who eventually confessed and was arrested.

Are you coming to the Netherlands to live and work? Then it is important that you take out health insurance here. It is compulsory to have healthcare insurance, even if you are only coming to work in the Netherlands temporarily as a foreigner. As soon as you are registered with the municipality where you will be living, you will be able to take out healthcare insurance. Of course, you already have enough other things to arrange when you move to another country. That is why HollandZorg has developed an insurance policy especially for labour migrants. Our aim is to make it easier for you to take out health insurance. Healthcare insurance for labour migrants of HollandZorgWith our health insurance in the Netherlands for migrant workers, we have not only thought about the employees, but also about employers. Insurance with HollandZorg can easily be taken out and (temporarily) discontinued. The healthcare premium is automatically deducted from the salary and as an employer you have a permanent contact person with us. You also have access to the employer portal, where you have insight into the policy administration of your employees. You can take out healthcare insurance for your employee, so that he or she does not have to arrange this himself or herself. Is your employee entitled to care allowance? Then you can apply for this if necessary. Basic insurance and supplementary insuranceA basic health insurance is compulsory. This allows you to make use of the most necessary care. You can decide for yourself whether you want to take out supplementary insurance or not. Supplementary insurance will come in handy if you wish to be reimbursed for certain treatments that are not included in the basic healthcare package. Costs for the dentist will also be excluded from the basic package. Will you visit the dentist regularly? If so, taking out dental insurance is a wise choice. Make sure that the basic healthcare insurance and dental insurance commence before 1 January 2021. If you need help in choosing a supplementary insurance policy, you can always contact us. |

Christopher Walken's quirks shine bright in comedy-thriller 'The Outlaws'
The 79-year-old Christopher Walken has made a long, Oscar-winning career out of setting every scene askew. With an offbeat line delivery that largely sidesteps the rules of punctuation, and a dancer's mercurial sense of rhythm, Walken approaches every moment from a fresh angle.
In Stephen Merchant and Elgin James' new crime comedy "The Outlaws," the icon of idiosyncrasy seems particularly out of place. Set in the rugged old port town of Bristol, where it follows the story of seven down-on-their-luck strangers forced together for community service, the series offers up a vivid cross-section of post-Brexit England. But Walken's shifty ex-con, Frank, communicates in the accent and cadences of the actor's native Queens, N.Y.
Speaking from his home in rural Connecticut, Walken explains that "Frank is an American guy who went to England 40 years earlier. And he stayed there. He married, had children and became an expat. [But] it seems to me that he hadn't assimilated whatsoever. He's lived in England, but he's pretty much the way he was when he left America."
Walken is drawn to characters who can't quite adjust to their surroundings, an inclination he credits to his Queens childhood. "Both of my parents came to America when they were about 40 years old," he says. "And in the neighborhood where I grew up, people spoke many languages in the street. When they spoke English, it was broken English … lots of hesitating and searching for the right word. I grew up listening to English spoken that way. And I think it has had an effect on the way I speak."
"The Outlaws" oscillates in tone from broad comedy to pulse-pounding thriller, and Walken's Frank is both a heartbreaker — described by his own daughter as "a lying, thieving, selfish old bastard" — and a goofball. (If you've ever wanted to see Walken perform a karaoke duet to the Pussycat Dolls, consider your wish granted.)
"I'm not sure there is a difference between so-called comedy and so-called drama," he says. "You just try to do it as if you were making it up, as if the dialogue was coming out of your own brain. [You want] to know the material so well that you don't have to think about it anymore."
Merchant, who created "The Outlaws" and appears as part of its ensemble, knew immediately that he wanted someone like Walken for the role and was pleasantly surprised to find the actual Walken available and willing.
"I knew [Merchant's] work — he's pretty amazing — and coincidentally had just seen him on an American television interview," Walken says. Merchant journeyed to Connecticut to visit the star, and Walken sealed the deal by cooking him an omelet.
Even though the role seems tailor-made for Walken, the famously prolific "Deer Hunter" and "Catch Me If You Can" star claims that he has never been choosy. "I've always approached acting as [being] a guy with a job, making a living," he says. "I choose things to a certain extent, but I've always just tried to keep working and taking the next best thing that comes along, and hoping for the best."
This approach extends to other parts of Walken's life. "I don't travel much," he says. "I don't [need] to get on a plane and go somewhere, because my job already takes me to very interesting places. Even most of the clothing that I wear is from movies I've done. They'll give me a jacket or a shirt or something. My life is very oriented around what I do for a living."
Despite a busy showbiz career and streetwise sensibility, Walken lives a quiet life (with casting director Georgianne Walken, his wife of 55 years) in Connecticut, where he famously doesn't own a cellphone or computer. "I've seen 'The Outlaws' because they sent me the discs," he says, "but I have not seen it on Amazon [Prime]. I wouldn't know how to do that."
Walken will testify to the benefits of life off the grid, but he also harbors nostalgia for Hollywood's industrial past.
"If I'd been born 20 or 30 years earlier," Walken says, "I think I would've enjoyed working in the studio system. You read books about the great stars, but there were also all these recognizable supporting actors who made 250 to 350 movies, and they had houses and families and wonderful regular lives, and they made a pretty good living.
"They had the sunshine and the beach," he continues. "And they would get in the car in the morning and go to the studio and work in one of the great soundstages. And then maybe after lunch, they'd go down the street and be in a different movie, [wear] a different costume, play a different part. I think I would have liked that — to be able to go home and sleep in your own bed."
Walken is too singular, too strange (and too famous) a performer to be mistaken for a bit player. But in shows like "The Outlaws," he continues to perfect his own vision of the ideal "supporting actor," soft-shoeing on the line between blending in and standing out. He might be the most distinctive "guy with a job" in the business.

Adam Simpson is adamant West Coast remain united as they struggle through an AFL season from hell and says he has no plans to abandon ship any time soon.
The Eagles sit last on the ladder with one win for the year and have lost their past seven games by an average margin of 79.7 points.
The fall from grace over the last 12 months has been exacerbated by a raft of injuries, COVID-19 issues and off-field troubles this season.
It has forced a dramatic shift in the club's mindset as it now enters a rebuild phase.

READ NOWBut Simpson sees a playing group and football department committed to fighting its way out of the mire.
"I truly believe the group is united ... I'm not seeing any fractures within the four walls," Simpson told Fox Footy.
"I'm not seeing any accusations or finger-pointing, I'm not getting managers calling in or parents calling welfare officers.
"I just feel we're all in it together and we're working as hard as we can to get out of what we're in at the moment, on and off the field.
"And to be honest, I've seen a more fractured group with success than we have with failure.
"In one sense I'm quite proud of the fact that they're sticking together and the environment's still positive to a certain degree."
Simpson praised his leadership group, led by captain Luke Shuey and deputies Jeremy McGovern and Nic Naitanui, for their role in keeping the players together.
"The leadership group I've got has probably dealt with this as best as I can possibly hope for from a united front," Simpson said.
"That does not give us an out for our performances but I think we're galvanised and I feel like there's a lot of resilience there that we're trying to work through.
"I think it will pay us back but at the moment it's really hard to look at the light at the end of the tunnel when we're in our situation.
"But we're setting ourselves up for success in the future and at the moment it's difficult to get back on track."
Simpson is contracted until the end of 2024 and has received public backing from the West Coast hierarchy, including chief executive Trevor Nisbett.
"I've got a long-term contract and I'm so committed to what we're doing at the moment," Simpson said.
"I'm as energised as I've ever been.
"I said to the players today that we'll find out so much about ourselves as a group this year and how well we can stick together and how hard we can work on getting better.
"I know there's questions asked and there'll be a time when I get tapped on the shoulder and I'll be told I'm not the right person for the job, but I'm so up for it at the moment.
"I cannot wait to get better and get on with it. It's just going to take time."
West Coast take on 15th-placed Adelaide on Saturday at Adelaide Oval before going into their mid-season bye.

Twenty five years ago today, the Good Friday Agreement was signed – bringing an end, on paper at least, to the Troubles in Northern Ireland, which had cost thousands of lives over decades.
At the heart of the agreement is a power sharing government. But that government, the Northern Ireland Assembly, has not sat for more than a year.
Our Chief Correspondent has been following the events marking the 25th Anniversary and joined us live from Derry.

Foreign Direct Investment, Unit Root Test, Correlation test, Trend analysis, Economic growthAbstract
Foreign Direct Investment is important to all developing countries however it is more critical to African countries than other developing countries. Specifically, incomes are lower and poverty rates are higher in SSA countries than in non-SSA developing countries. The problem in majority of African countries is that most have a small tax base. Another relevant point is that most African countries have undeveloped capital markets and do not have access to international capital markets. This study will be seeks to investigate the effect of foreign investment on economic growth among East African countries. The study seeks to determine the effect of Foreign Direct Investment on the Economic growth among the East African community countries. The study will also look at the moderating effect of institutional quality on the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and economic growth. The study will adopt descriptive research design mainly in modeling the linkage between foreign direct investment and economic growth. The scope of the study will be the countries of; Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan. This focus is informed by the fact that the six countries are in the East Africa community which is key in attracting Foreign Direct Investment on the continent. The study period will be 2001 – 2020. The data will also be time series for each country and then combined into a panel structure for all the six countries. For empirical model analysis the study will rely on autoregressive distributed lag model since the data for each country has data that is long, to determine how economic growth respond to changes in foreign investments among these countries. The study will also use, unit root test, correlation test, trend analysis, co-integration test, granger causality as the model diagnostic tools. The study will also use the heteroskedasticity test for variance and autocorrelation test to assess the stability of the model. The study will be of use to government departments, researchers and non-governmental organizations.

Edward Christie (History of Art) coordinated a UCL Anthropocene seminar entitled Cultural Ecology. Here, he shares his reflections on the discussions as the series comes to a close.
Cultural Ecology: Galvanising Climate Action Across the Arts was a series of eight online seminars which brought together activist-academics working across the arts to interrogate the following question: 'How might cultural researchers galvanise more urgent and effective responses to the climate crisis to remedy the severe inadequacy of the actions currently being set into motion by governments and corporations'.
In this way, 'cultural ecology' was deconstructed and came to be understood in terms of the phrase's two literal denotations:
- culture as ecology—a realisation that culture is relational and therefore mutable as it is determined by the dynamic interaction of humans with each other and the environment.
- ecology as culture—an understanding that ecology is increasingly anthropogenic as it is determined by the ideas, customs and behaviours of humans and how they interact with the environment.
When considered in tandem, these two meanings highlight the significant potential of artistic works—as focused expressions of broader cultural conditions—for inspiring the development of more sustainable ways of being.
Intending to encourage a more coordinated cultural response to the climate crisis, the webinars spotlighted researchers based at institutions across the globe who collectively represented a broad range of the arts, including: curating, literature, art history, fashion, dance, art practice, music, and architecture. Contributors were chosen who prioritise eco-political praxis and embrace exchanges with scientists and activists.
Opening the programme, Dr. Colin Sterling (University of Amsterdam) discussed the 'Reimagining Museums for Climate Action' project: an international design and ideas competition and associated exhibition to be hosted at Glasgow Science Centre ahead of and during COP26.
Next, Prof. Florian Mussgnug (UCL, SELCS) gave a lecture on 'Ecologies of Grief: Narratives of Covid, Climate and Care' which explored twenty-first century narratives of loss and mourning to call for an ecological re-thinking of grief and the literary genre of elegy.
This led to Prof. Andrew Patrizio's (University of Edinburgh) talk 'The Disappointing Apocalypse: Visualising Climate in Art Since the 1960s' which was co-hosted with the Past Imperfect seminar in UCL's History of Art Department and considered the complex relationship between the idea of eco-apocalypse and visual art practice since 1960
Afterwards, Prof. Kate Fletcher (London College of Fashion) and Prof. Mathilda Tham (Linnaeus University) shared their concept of 'Earth Logic'—a radical framework for sustainability grounded in systems thinking that has been applied in a number of contexts, especially in the fashion sector, since its launch at London Fashion Week 2020.
This flowed into a seminar led by choreographer, dancer, and educator Subathra Subramaniam who shared her experiences of working with dance to inspire climate action in collaboration with youth activists and scientists. The talk was titled 'Choreography as Climate Action: Inspiring the Environmental Movement Through Dance'.
Following this, Dr. Ignacio Acosta gave a lecture titled 'Archaeology of Sacrifice: Mobilising Collaborative Artistic Practice Against Extractivist Violence', which centred on the artist's recent video installation that recounts the discovery of a Celtic sacrificial site in a limestone and marl quarry in Switzerland to unveil how the notion of sacrifice has transitioned from ancient sacred rituals to its contemporary meaning within extractive capitalism.
The penultimate seminar welcomed Dr. Mike Edwards of Sound Matters—an organisation that uses sound, and the art of listening, to address environmental challenges such as climate change. By recounting his personal journey in music-making and climate change research, Mike explained why he thinks sound and listening hold the key to finding new ways of imagining futures where the human and more-than-human worlds can flourish.
Finally, Prof. Peg Rawes (UCL, The Bartlett School of Architecture) closed the series with a talk titled 'Architectural Relations in a Climate Emergency' which examined human and nonhuman life as 'matters of concern' for contemporary architectural thinking in the year when the UK hosts the UN COP26 in Glasgow.
Woven through these events were engagements with important sub-questions including:
- 'Is there any truth to the common claim that "there is no case for the arts"; and, if so, how might the arts be transformed to effectively address pressing global challenges such as climate change?'
- 'What are the benefits and limitations of interdisciplinary research on culture and the climate crisis, and what structural changes are required within the academy to facilitate fluent and productive exchanges between arts researchers, activists, and scientists?'
- And 'what initiatives might arts researchers stage to pressurise governments and corporations to take urgent action against the climate crisis, especially over the next months leading to COP26?'
Central to the responses to all these questions which emerged during the seminars was the belief that the transformation of modern subjectivity is the most fundamental and essential requirement if we are to effectively combat the climate crisis, and the conviction that the arts are ideally placed to inspire this change.
Unfortunately, it is evident that, without intervention, governments and corporations will continue to fail to mobilise the change that is required to adequately counteract the dramatically worsening impacts of the climate crisis. Despite the widespread adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2016 which aims to limit global warming to 'well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels',[2] average global temperature continues to rise dramatically, and we are currently on track to exceed 1.5C as early as 2026.[3] Alarmingly, although these statistics are common knowledge, the trajectory of the status quo continues more or less uninterrupted.
Clearly, governments and corporations need to be shaken up. Although the United Nations increasingly promotes culture as a 'driver and enabler of sustainable development', the intergovernmental organisation continues to rely predominantly on data-driven assertions grounded in modern, capital-based conceptions of value and progress, and is yet to truly embrace principles that are at the core of progressive artistic research including critical thinking, expression, and experimentation.[4] These strategies are vital to highlighting and challenging the causes of the climate crisis, raising awareness of its multitudinous effects, and forging the development of alternative modes of existence centred on climate justice. It was recently stated that 'climate change is the greatest threat we have ever faced.'[5] This implies another assertion: there has never been a more urgent time to be a cultural researcher. A seminar series can't single-handedly change the world, but nonetheless I hope these events inspired discussions, collaborations, or ideas that will lead to further actions that support the realisation of a more socio-environmentally harmonious future.

I'm back to it today, trying to get more than an hour of work on this painting.
Not much to report, I spent an hour and a half working on the shirt. The photo shows the texture as being too harsh but I don't trust these photos, they are optimized for web and the edges everywhere tend to get very sharp. I'll look at the painting and see if I have to redo what I did today.

April 2023 update on LEO for Northern Ireland
The Education Outcomes Linkage (EOL) 2018/19 dataset is now available for research purposes.
The EOL 2018/19 is a longitudinal relational database comprised of a range of tables containing post primary schools' data for pupils aged 14 and over in Northern Ireland. It is the first stage of the development of a LEO database for Northern Ireland. The EOL links together a number of datasets held by the Department of Education (DE) in Northern Ireland; the Schools Census (including Attendance data), School Leavers Survey and Exams Database.
More information on the EOL is available on the NISRA website.
The second phase of the development of a LEO database for Northern Ireland has commenced and further updates will be provided as the project progresses.
October 2022 update on LEO for Northern Ireland
The first phase of the LEO for Northern Ireland project is the development of an Education Outcomes Linkage (EOL) dataset; a longitudinal education dataset of post primary schools' data for pupils (aged 14-18) in Northern Ireland.
To create the EOL dataset, the Department of Education (DE) has been working with the Administrative Data Research Northern Ireland (ADR NI)1 team within the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA). Analytical Services staff within the Department for the Economy (DfE) have also been closely involved with the project, providing input to the development of the dataset.
DE and ADR NI intend to release the EOL dataset in Spring 2023. It will be made available for secure access by accredited researchers, after approval from DE and the UK Statistics Authority Research Accreditation Panel.
The EOL dataset will become the foundation of LEO for Northern Ireland. The second phase of the LEO for Northern Ireland project will involve linking education outcomes data for pupils with outcomes from apprenticeships, training, further education and higher education. An indicative timeline for the second phase will be provided once available. Further phases of the LEO for Northern Ireland project will involve linking employment and earnings data and also benefits data.
1 ADR NI is part of the ESRC funded ADR UK initiative; further details are available at ADR UK
February 2020 update on LEO for Northern Ireland
Analytical Services staff are working with colleagues across the NICS and wider UK government to establish data sharing agreements, so that the creation of the LEO database for Northern Ireland is done on a lawful basis. The legislation which underpins the data shares in Great Britain is not in effect in Northern Ireland and therefore the data sharing negotiations are complex.
A further update will be provided once an agreement for the creation of the database has been reached, including an approximate timescale and information on the legal basis for the data linkage.
Background to the LEO study
The Longitudinal Education Outcomes Study was formally established in Great Britain in 2015, when the passing of the Education and Skills Act (2008) and the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act (2015) authorised the linkage of education data, benefits and training data and Revenue and Customs information for the purposes of assessing the effectiveness of educational provision.
This ability to identify where people are at key transition phases provides very powerful evidence about the impact of policy and the direction of social and economic change.
Questions about social inclusion, social mobility, what people can expect to earn given their educational and social backgrounds are of great importance. The LEO database enables research on these questions to be conducted.
Further information, including available statistical releases, are available from the Department for Education (England), Welsh Government and Scottish Government.
LEO database for Northern Ireland
DfE Analytical Services Unit intends to develop a linked database of de-identified individuals which will include personal information relating to their education, employment and benefit claims in order to:
- provide statistical information to support education and career decisions
- evaluate and monitor the impact of education or training on outcomes and help to support the outcomes based approach of the draft Programme for Government
- support government decision making which will lead to improved services.
In order to create the LEO database, the department must comply with a number of physical security, ethical and legal requirements including the data protection principles set out in the Data Protection Act 2018, which is the UK's implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Access to the database will be restricted to those NICS staff who are involved in the production of analyses and stringent disclosure control measures will be applied to ensure that no individuals can be identified from the research outputs.
Public engagement
Public engagement events explaining the background to the project will take place as the project develops. Further details will be made available via the DfE website in due course.
Contact us
We welcome the views of the public on this proposed initiative. If you have any comments, or wish to make further enquiries please contact us at email@example.com.

When it comes to winter holidays, Christmas takes up a lot of airspace. Celebrated worldwide, Christmas is considered both a religious holiday honoring the birth of Jesus and a cultural one with a history and tradition combining Christian beliefs with ancient folklore and pagan rituals. For some, Christmas isn't Christian but a time for fir trees, Santa, and food.
The traditional Christmas story tells of Joseph and Mary going to Bethlehem, trying to find a room for the night, and subsequently staying in a stable where Mary gave birth to Jesus. However, Jesus' birthdate is unknown, and the customs traditionally enjoyed during the Christmas holiday started long before his birth.
The winter solstice was celebrated for centuries before Christianity, with feasts that involved burning yule logs, decorating homes with fir trees, and providing gifts and food to family members. As Christianity took hold, Dec. 25 was chosen as the day to honor the birth of Christ, with the speculation that having a Christian celebration at the same time as pagan rituals would help promote the religion and bring more followers.
In 1870, Christmas was declared a federal holiday and is now one of the most popular holidays in the United States. It is also widely celebrated in other countries.
But Christmas isn't the only holiday celebrated during the winter season. Many other holidays are culturally significant to their countries of origin, some of which have festivities that far exceed even the most ostentatious Christmas celebration.
From religious festivals to ceremonies honoring the change of seasons, as well as secular events that take place in many different countries, Stacker gathered information from various sources to compile a list of fall and winter holidays celebrated all over the world. These include holidays celebrated on a national and local level, religious days, and long-standing cultural traditions.
Take a look at these 20 holidays celebrated between October and February.

NFL Network Top-100 Players: Mike Evans No. 48
August 15th, 2021Some things in life don't change.
Mike Evans has 1,000 yards receiving (again).
And, Evans is in NFL Network's Top-100 players for 2021.
This time Evans clocks in at No. 48. In the segment highlighting Evans, he is referred to as having the heart of a champion.
"Mike Evans is always angry," teammate Lavonte David said. "He's feisty, man."
Later Davis said that he cannot remember Evans smiling. Oh, don't worry. Evans smiles. Like the rest of the Bucs and Bucs fans last February, Evans was smiling.
What Joe thought was cool is Joe's favorite Evans play. Remember when he caught a pass on Monday Night Football against the Rams inside the Rams-10 and fought through two would-be tacklers for a touchdown.
That play for Joe sums up Evans.
