As discussed in my earlier posts of my steps towards embracing minimalist life style – here and here.
I must tell you, it is not easy to keep up with my excessive consumerism. I guess I do not have nothing better to do in life. Most of my time goes into organizing on and on and it never ends ..and I give up to re-start the whole process again. On the pretext of shopping for a friend with a friend will only add a dent in my bank account and "More" stuff will land at my home. I am so tired of this and yet cannot restrict myself from purchasing even though I do not need them.
I have been reading a lot lately about minimalism..Be it online articles, books, brought some kindle version of books to get some tips of letting go of things and not getting more into life, and organizing home, be it kitchen, living or bedroom, closet, bathroom and what not.. It has been 6 months and I think I realized "Less is More Joy".
Every time I read information related to minimalism or organization, and immediately I would want to spring to action. But, by looking at the enormity of task ahead..it kills my spirit and wonder why I have been accumulating and not organized bothers me and I leave it at that. It is the most difficult path than I thought it would be, especially with my never ending purchases.
I read on some minimalist blog as "One in – One out" strategy, but in my case it has been 5 in and one out *Sigh*!
And some one said- living with 13 pieces of clothes or 100 possessions – this is not going to work for me.
I live in a tiny home where space is at premium and I learned that the less stuff I have, less time would go into organizing and more time for the activities that I love. It is the clutter at home in turn creates mayhem in my head. One of my friend said, there is no way out if you just crib. If you need to make change, you must start somewhere and keep doing it until you get there. Complaining never benefited any one.
Beyond all, I am exhausted just thinking about it. On a more positive note – I have lately been trying to donate/trash at least 5 things a day from home. So that would be 150 things less in a month. I hope to continue until I reach my goal of "Satisfaction". (I got rid of all expired food, non-expired but not opened food items were donated away.. slowly but steadily)
I think I will have to deal with it one-day-at-a-time, after all slow and steady wins the race. I just need to be more persistent and consistent.
All dear minimalists and organized people out there – how do you deal with this?

What I love the most about those Supergrains Beetroot and Tofu Burger Patties is the crispy outside and moist centre. I even believe that they taste better than meat burger patties! I served those patties in a burger bun for my husband but if you are on a low carb diet like me simply eat those patties wrapped in lettuce. I also like to eat them topped with sprouts and a raw vegetables on the sides.
This recipe make about 8 patties but I am usually making 4 patties and I am using the leftover of batter to shape small balls. Why? to have quick and easy appetizers on hands! Simply roll each balls into LSA ground (a mix of grounder linseed, sunflower and almond). Then, place those coated balls onto a plate covered with plastic wrap and froze them.

I rolled the beetroot balls into old fashionned rolled oat and bake them for 25 minutes at 180C. Waouh!

This was before McCain and Romney became BFF, of course
Via BuzzFeed
A document found online by BuzzFeed appears to be John McCain's entire, 200-page opposition research file — or "book" — on Mitt Romney from 2008, the year they were bitter rivals. Segments of the book have been posted on RedState.com, but this the first time the document has been shared for public consumption in its entirety.
Now of course, that McCain knows Romney is just like him, you can forget all that messy stuff.

The last time we were all together was 5 years ago.
An impossible wish was shared: time together, face-to-face. Time to share, worship, celebrate, encourage, pray, laugh, eat, cry, and dream. We watched as slowly God made a way for six women from five states to leave their families, jobs and ministries behind for a weekend of retreat and fellowship.
In every single picture of me from last weekend I look exhausted; probably because I got a total of six hours sleep. Not wanting to waste a minute of my precious time with these women, I stayed up way too late and got up far too early.
It was totally worth it.
It's been a week since I got back home, and my overnight bag still sits in our bedroom half unpacked. Clothes, toiletries and random items spill out of it; I've pulled things out as I've had need of them, but haven't taken the time to really finish the job.
My brain feels the same way.
Conversations, prayers, memories, jokes and words of prophecy are all jumbled together.
I'm sure that what God did there will slowly leak out of me over the next few weeks.
For now, this blessing from Paul seems to sum up what I'm feeling…because I am strengthened through His Spirit, feel His love for me in a way I never have before, and saw Him do more than I asked or imagined.
Today, this is my prayer for you as well!
I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge — that you may be filled to the measure of all the fulness of God. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. {Ephesians 3:16-21}
How has God shown His love for you recently?

IOM Disaster Communications Teams Save Lives in Flood-Hit Sindh
Press Release
14 October 2011
ISLAMABAD: IOM communications teams in flood-hit areas of Sindh are saving lives by reporting the needs of families cut off by the floods to aid agencies, enabling them to provide a coordinated response, delivering food, health care, shelter and other lifesaving items.
The teams are also alerting displaced communities to public health issues including dengue, malaria, diarrhea and snake bite prevention and treatment, at the request of the government and the humanitarian community.
Recently, an IOM team identified 40 families in Mohammad Bakhsh village in Mirpurkhas district who were stranded in flood-water and had run out of food. The information was immediately reported to the "cluster" of agencies delivering food aid and the villagers' needs were promptly met.
In the same village, the team identified 5,500 animals at risk from flood-related diseases. The Executive District Officer (EDO) was informed and an immediate vaccination drive was arranged.
"Our over 20 teams in Sindh are facilitating by two-way communication from the communities to the authorities and from humanitarian partners and the government to the affected population. This is helping to bridge communication gap and saving lives," says IOM Communication Project Officer Maria Ahmed.
IOM recently expanded the coverage of the communication teams from 14 to 21 of the 23 districts in Sindh.
The teams are also supporting the government's new initiative of emergency relief to flood-affected families through distribution of the Pakistan Card.
This debit card currently provides Rs 20,000 for each flood-affected family in the worst hit districts of Umerkot, Sanghar, Badin, Tharparkar, Tando Allah Yar, Tando Muhammad Khan, Shaheed Benazirabad.
The teams have also developed frequently asked questions (FAQ) and a Sindh Service Directory for aid agencies and flood-affected communities, which is being extensively used during emergency operations in affected areas.

It has been ridiculously hot and humid this week, so naturally I'm not in any hurry to turn on our oven – why add extra heat in your home if you don't need to? So, when my chocolate cravings started to fire up, I went right to this recipe for a no-bake simple sweet treat. These No-Bake Paleo Brownie Bites have only 6 ingredients in them and take 10 minutes to make. Clearly, they're not actual brownies, but they taste like chewy fudge brownies- without all the extra sugar, flour, eggs and chocolate. The main natural sweetener in this recipe are dates, which are loaded with vitamins and minerals such as fiber, vitamin A and K.
I absolutely love this recipe, they are so easy to make and bringing them on trips with you let's you keep hungry and sweet cravings at bay. The only problem is just having one, or even two!
Best part is, you can store these bad boys up to 3 weeks (if the dates are fresh) in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. So making them ahead of time is no problem!
If you try my No-Bake Paleo Brownie Bites, let me know in the comment section or tag me with the hashtag #CleanFoodforThoughBlog! I love hearing feedback from readers about what they are cooking in the kitchen!
No-Bake Paleo Brownie Bites
These No Bake Paleo Brownie Bites are made with only 6 ingredients – vegan, gluten free, dairy free, paleo – and a perfect snack or treat to take on the go!
- ½ cup walnuts
- ½ cup almonds
- 1 cup pitted medjool dates, chopped
- 1/3 cup + 2tbsp cacao powder
- 1/3 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, room temperature
- In a food processor, blend the walnuts and almonds until its fine. Add in dates, cacao powder, salt, coconut oil, and ½ cup of shredded coconut. Blend until its completely mixed, and looks like a dough.
- Place the rest of the shredded coconut in a shallow bowl. Roll the dough into balls and then coat them lightly in the shredded coconut.
- Place the balls in the refrigerator for an hour, so they can harden. Enjoy!

SIP is an acronym for Systematic Investment Plan which is essentially a process that involves investing a certain amount that remains fixed regularly in a scheme akin to those in mutual funds. Imagine the process of paying monthly installments against a loan that you have taken – only you will be paying these installments in case of a SIP Investment, in a mutual fund. Let's dig deeper!
How to start A SIP
- One of the mandates you must be aware of is the fact that the SEBI has deemed it necessary to have an initial process wherein getting to know each of the customers will play an important role in investing in mutual funds. You will, therefore, be required to go into the website and fill out a basic form in addition to submitting some of your documents. Once verification of your documents uploaded online is finished, your process of KYC will have been completed.
- Making an informed choice about the kind of SIP investment, or portfolio of SIPs you should go for will also benefit you infinitely. This is to say that it is best to identify a mutual fund that is in keeping with the age at which you are, and your financial as well as investment requirements. In case you find yourself confused between the options of mutual funds that are best suitable for you, it will be advisable for you to speak to finance experts who will take into consideration, with greater detail, the growth plans that you can securely go for.
- After you have successfully identified the most suitable SIP investment plan for you, you will be required to decide and put together the amount. It is advisable to make a portfolio of the mutual funds that you have in mind and come up with a single transaction which will start SIP inside all of these mutual funds. Once the first installment goes out, the second time onwards, it goes into auto investment mode and it is possible for you to check your growth in the dashboard provided.
Types of SIPs that you can invest in
It is important that you are aware of the fact that there are three types of SIPs that you can invest in and they are weekly, monthly and quarterly. In a country like India where salaries are usually afforded on a monthly basis, it is wise to go for the monthly scheme given that it will be added to the list of your utility bills which also come monthly. Additionally, there are also the following kinds of SIPs based on the changes you can make to it over the period of investment
- Top up SIP that allows you to increase the installment amount of a particular mutual fund that has the potential to do well.
- Flexible SIP wherein you can increase or decrease the installment that you pay depending on your cash flow at regular intervals.
- Perpetual SIP that enables you to not enter an end date for your investment at the time of opening the account, so that you can continue it till or withdraw when your financial goals have been achieved.
- Trigger SIP which will require you to have expertise in making speculations about the financial market.
It must be understood that SIP investment schemes makes it possible for you to accumulate a substantial amount of wealth in the long term scenario. So make sure you tread responsibly while building your financial portfolio through SIPs.

Corporate Social Responsibility In India pdf | Mains | GS-II |
Corporate Social Responsibility In India pdf | Mains | GS-II | Hello Friends Welcome To Studydhaba.com.Here We are Sharing Information About corporate Social Responsibilities for UPSC Mains GS Paper 2nd.
What is CSR? –Corporate Social Responsibility In India
- Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is referred as a corporate initiative to assess and take responsibility for the company's effects on the environment and impact on social welfare and to promote positive social and environmental change.
- It efforts that go beyond what may be required by regulators.
- The income is earned only from the society and therefore it should be given back.
- Under Companies Act, 2013 any company with a
- net worth of the company to be Rs 500 crore or more or
- turnover of the company to be Rs 1000 crore or more or
- net profit of the company to be Rs 5 crore or more.
- Further as per the CSR Rules, the provisions of CSR are not only applicable to Indian companies, but also applicable to branch and project offices of a foreign company in India.
- Further, the qualifying company will be required to constitute a CSR Committee consisting of 3 or more directors.
- The CSR Committee shall formulate and recommend to the Board, a policy which indicates the activities to be undertaken, allocate resources and monitor the CSR Policy of the company.
- If the company did not spend CSR, it has to disclose the reason for not spending. Non-disclosure or absence of the details will be penalised from Rs 50,000 to Rs 25 lakh or even imprisonment of up to 3 years
- India is the first country in the world to enshrine corporate giving into law.
- Eradicating hunger, poverty & malnutrition
- Promoting education
- Improving maternal & child health
- Ensuring environmental sustainability
- Protection of national heritage
- Measures for the benefit of armed forces
- Promoting sports
- Contribution to the Prime Minister's National Relief
- Slum area development etc.
- Consumers are socially conscious – Many consumers actively seek out companies that support charitable causes. Therefore CSR attracts customers.
- Competitive advantage – Businesses that show how they are more socially responsible than their competitors tend to stand out.
- Boosts employee morale – CSR practices have a significant impact on employee morale, as it reinforces his confidence on Company's empathy.
What is the effect of legislation?-Corporate Social Responsibility In India pdf
- More spending – The private sector's combined charitable spend increased from 33.67bn rupees in 2013 to around 250bn rupees after the law's enactment.
- Mainstreaming Charity – It has brought CSR from the fringes to the boardroom. Companies now have to think seriously about the resources, timelines and strategies needed to meet their legal obligations.
- But it also has its shortcomings.
- Non-compliance – A survey found that 52 of the country's largest 100 companies failed to spend the required 2% last year.
- A smaller proportion has gone further to allegedly cheating by giving donations to charitable foundations that then return the fund minus a commission.
- Roll back – Charitable spending was used as a big reputation builder for family-led conglomerates with a long tradition of philanthropy. Now it's just about legal compliance. Many companies that were giving more than 2% have scaled back their spending.
- Inequality – One of the challenges for the corporate sector is finding credible charity partners to support. So the bigger charities that are more well-known are being flooded with money leaving out smaller charities.
- Compounding the problem is that smaller charities often lack the capacity to cope with companies' bureaucratic and operational demands.
- Geography – There is also a geographic bias under the 2% law, with companies funding projects closer to where they are based. Therefore more industrialised states are winning over poorer, more remote regions where development aid is acutely needed.
- Politics – Some companies looking to gain goodwill by backing government-led projects rather than independent initiatives.
What should be done?-Corporate Social Responsibility In India pdf
- What India needs is large-scale social innovation and systems change and mandatory spending achieves a little in this direction.
- It also deflects pressure on companies to change their business practices.
- CSR should be more inclusive by which an organization should think about and evolve its relationships with stakeholders for the common good, and demonstrate its commitment by adopting appropriate business processes and strategies.
- A set of national voluntary guidelines to spell out what responsible business should look like and set out that CSR is more than just charitable giving should be formalised.

In her annual address at the state Capitol, Sen. Lisa Murkowski spoke passionately about the shooting that killed 17 at a Florida high school last week. She called on Congress to take action.
"We cannot have an escalation of tragedies in this country. So we have to come to grips with things," Murkowski told legislators. "But the way that you start is not by drawing red lines."
No issue, she said, should be off-limits in the national discussion about how to stop mass shootings.
Murkowski spoke to legislators on the subject for about nine minutes without saying the word "gun."
("Weapon" wasn't in the address, either, nor any synonym for firearm.)
In much of her speech, she discussed recent accomplishments in Washington, D.C., particularly new opportunities for oil development on Alaska's federal lands and waters.
Then she turned to the shooting. Murkowski said the political impasse in Congress has to end, as does the tragedy cycle.
"Where we have a tragedy happen, we all express our condolences," Murkowski said. "We then lock into our political stances and nothing is done until the next tragedy hits. And then we express our outrage all over again."
Murkowski touched on a number of areas Congress can improve, even mentioning the possibility of an app kids could use to alert adults to a classmate who seems off-kilter.
"Help with the mental health side, help with the assessment, help with the training side, address the clear inadequacies that we have within our background check system," Murkowski said. "And then deal in some of these other areas where we know we have way too many open doors."
At a press conference afterward, a reporter asked why she didn't use the word. She pointed out that she did say "background checks."
"Background check for what? You have to go through that background check in order to get a gun," Murkowski said. "I'm using the word 'gun.' I'm OK using it."
One of the loudest calls from the high school students who survived the Florida shooting is to ban the AR-15 and similar semi-automatic rifles of the type that were used in Newtown, in San Bernardino, at Orlando's Pulse nightclub, in a Texas church, in Las Vegas.
At the press conference, Murkowski asserted her support for the Second Amendment and said banning a particular weapon isn't the answer.
"A weapon can be a gun. a weapon can be a vehicle. a weapon can be a chemical," Murkowski told reporters. "So I don't want us to focus on just the weapon."
Asked whether America has a problem with the accessibility of guns, Murkowski gave a more narrow answer.
"I think the U.S. has a problem with accessibility to guns by people who are mentally ill, yes," Murkowski said.
(Mental health advocates emphasize that the vast majority of people with mental illness are non-violent, and a 2015 study found people with diagnosed mental illness commit only a small percentage of U.S. gun fatalities.)
State Rep. Adam Wool, D-Fairbanks, said later that he appreciated Murkowski's thoughtful discussion. He said he also liked Murkowski's focus on mental health, though Wool doubts that's the root cause of America's problem with mass shootings.
"You know what? It's an issue in a lot of countries … there's mental health issues everywhere," Wool said. "But in this country, it turns into mass gun violence. And I think that's an important distinction."
KTOO reporter Andrew Kitchenman contributed to this story from Juneau.

Working for a better future and outcomes for our children
Family Matters February 2018 Update
- 20 February 2018
Family Matters is the National Campaign for eliminating the disproportionate representation of our children in statutory child protection systems in Australia. Since the last newsletter edition, we have continued to drive targeted efforts and strategies aimed at increasing Campaign visibility and engagement; including tangible efforts that support the National Campaign objectives; whilst also supporting the Queensland rollout of the Our Way strategy and Changing Tracks action plan.
Our Way: A generational strategy for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families 2017-2037 has been developed in consort with the Queensland Government and with commitment from multiple Departments; and aims to drive and deliver on key system, service, practice and process level reforms, changes and enhancements; to contribute to halting and eliminating the disproportionate representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in statutory child protection systems. Changing Tracks: An action plan for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families 2017-2019 is the first three-year action plan of the generational strategy, and sets out strategies, reforms and improvements for pursuit; including greater accountability and responsibility across all system levels.
In support of Our Way and Changing Track's rollout, Family Matters Queensland have been maintaining active, regular dialogue with the Queensland Government and in particular the Our Way strategy team within the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services (DCCSDS), to provide routine and regular oversight and monitoring of the action plan's rollout and progression of its embedded strategies and action measures. Fortnightly meetings are subsequently now in progress between the Our Way team and Family Matters Queensland, to provide regular, routine opportunity for joint consultation and progress review. Furthermore, Family Matters Queensland is in the process of working with the Our Way team to attend regional workshops being convened across the State regarding the Our Way strategy and Changing Tracks action plan; with an intertwined focus on supporting embedment and effective use and activation of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Placement Principle.
At the jurisdictional level, Queensland Family Matters has also been focused on achieving increased engagement and mobilisation of active efforts at service and practice levels, through our Queensland Family Matters Leadership Group. The Leadership Group comprises local, regional and state-based organisations involved in the planning and direct provision of services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families. The aim of the Leadership Group is to help drive and deliver on state-based strategies, actions and approaches that promote and support the vision, targets, principles and building blocks of the Family Matters Campaign; whilst also committing to and applying tangible responses that promote the Our Way strategy; and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Placement Principle. Leadership Group meetings are now to be convened on a monthly basis, with the latest meeting held 30 January 2018. 2018 priorities for the Queensland Leadership Group have been guided by collective input and dialogue from a range of signatories to the Campaign, as well as informed by findings from the latest 2017 Family Matters Report.
Queensland Family Matters attended the launch of the report at Parliament House in late November 2017, at which time political engagement with the campaign was also a key focus.
An upcoming focus for Family Matters Queensland is also this year's National Week of Action, to be held 14 - 20 May 2018. The purpose of the Family Matters National Week of Action is to profile the campaign and its priorities, as well as to advocate the needs, experiences and priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families; and the importance of retaining connection to culture, community and country. QATSICPP and Family Matters Queensland are pleased to announce that we will be administering a micro-grant round for local community events and promotions to be held at the time of the National Week of Action, with 10 grants available to the value of $500, and 5 grants available to the value of $1,000. Applications are invited from local organisations and communities to run an event or promotion in your community. An application form will be circulated throughout our member networks and Family Matters signatories and any questions can be directed to our Family Matters Queensland Co-ordinator, Jess Mcardle (email@example.com).
A special acknowledgement also goes to those who were involved in the recent screening of Cherbourg Women - My Struggle My Fight, held Friday 19th January 2018 at Bunyupa Park in West End. In early November Yamaji filmmaker Janine Kelly travelled to Cherbourg Community with her Aunty Rhonda Collard-Spratt to document the up close and personal stories of the Cherbourg Women who are suffering the removal of their Children and Grandchildren. Through the heartache and pain these brave women tell their stories:
"Our aim is to fight to keep our children safe and to stop them from being forcibly removed by DOCS, taking them off country and placing them with non Indigenous carer's and families where the children in turn lose their culture and identity and the essence of their footprints their land and country. We Need to stand together United and fight this ongoing battle"
Cephia Williams.
We encourage any organisations who are not yet signatories to Family Matters Queensland to take the Statement of Commitment to the Campaign, or pledge your support as an individual via our national website: www.familymatters.org.au.

What Do You Call Believer in Scientism? Contest
Toby Young at the Spectator ran this tweet yesterday:
Is there a name for people who think reason and research evidence alone can dictate policy choices? Rationalists? Empiricists? Naifs?
— Toby Young (@toadmeister) November 18, 2013
The text (if you can't see) reads: "Is there a name for people who think reason and research evidence alone can dictate policy choices? Rationalists? Empiricists? Naifs?"
Iain Murray, author of the essential (but depressing) Stealing You Blind:How Government Fat Cats Are Getting Rich Off of You, answered Young with this:
@toadmeister The belief is scientism, but I'm not sure what the noun for a believer is.
— Iain Murray (@ismurray) November 18, 2013
Text: "The belief is scientism, but I'm not sure what the noun for a believer is."
I replied:
Text: "This is an excellent question. Scientismist? Scienceologist?"
Other entries Scientisticist (Murray), Technocrat (Ben Pile â€@clim8resistance), Technocrocist (Pile), Logical Positivists (sadmaninagame â€@sadmaninagame), neo-pseudo-Benthamist (Robert Hogan â€@RobertH1946). I also offered Scisalvationist and Sciencredoer.
'Logical Positivists' is, of course, philosophically correct, but it suffers from being unmemorable, being two words instead of one, and not being dismissive enough.
For the next week, from 19 November through 26 November, readers are invited to supply entries in the Name For Those Who Strictly Hold to Scientism Contest. The winner, if there is one, will receive a Kindle copy of Murray's book.
The winner, if one exists, will be announced in this space on 27 November, the day before Thanksgiving. Whoever wins will then have one week to email me with his preferred Amazon email address, else the prize will go unclaimed.
I say if there is a winner. I tell you plainly that I am already leaning on my own entry Scientismist. I need this word for my book, but think my word is only so-so, which is why I want to hear what I'm hoping are better suggestions.
Prime considerations are euphony, brevity, cleverness. And, as Bertie Wooster would say, it has to sting. I am no fan of scientism and I want a meaty word which is immediately understood as defining and dismissing it. For example, another correct term, eliminative materialist, doesn't cut it. Can you imagine yourself ranting, "Why you eliminative materialist you!"?
This is a lot to ask of one mere word, which is another reason I wonder if there will be a winner.
Small print: I am the sole judge and arbiter. You don't need a Kindle to read the book: Amazon has Kindle apps for most phones and computers.
Pass this post around and let fly with the neologisms!
Update Wow! What a great response, and on the first day, too! Tomorrow (I hope), I'll start listing the serious contenders in this space, else we're going to get lost. Thanks all!
Update The contest is over. Click here to see the winner.

Suggestion: "rationer".
Simple, clear, and today it implies science.
Or "Reasoner", in the English verson. "Rationer" is more latin.
I just tweeted Scientismist before being directed to this site. My (preferred) alternative is Scientite :o)
Ok. So with this new qualifier:Showing scientism is bad thing, what about narrow minder?
Fatuotist as in "fatuous" – "Foolish or silly, especially in a smug or self-satisfied way" 🙂
A few candidates for your consideration:
Science Zombie
Dawkinsian has a nice ring.
Or maybe a nod to L. Frank Baum. Thinkologist. …if I only had a brain
"The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretence was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp."
Would be crazy to suggest: inscienaty? mixing in-science-naty

Aloysius wins…
Although I don't like Spock-ist, his most famous 'quote', "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few," goes right to the heart of the problem.
Applied scienctism all to often uses this rationale to ban large soft drinks, close coal mines, etc.
When the state follows this premise, self sacrifice morphs into state sanctioned murder.
What nobody has suggested "Bright" yet?
Edward Fesar, philosopher, has addressed scientism at some length. His analysis, Recovering Sight after Scientism, March 12th, 2010, is very insightful. There he observes:
"What happens when we do reject this bias [the bias being a preference for science, "scientismâ€]?
"The right answer, in my [Feser's] view, is a return to the philosophical wisdom of the ancients and medievals. Their physics…was indeed sorely lacking. But their metaphysics has never been surpassed."
According to Feser, scientism isn't just an over-valuation of modern research , it requires the overt rejection of knowledge for a medieval antecedent expressly accepted as flawed.
Feser's "ancients and medievals" referent, including the rejection of new knowledge and the appear for metaphysics, leads to many places, here's one popular conclave: http://www.consciouslifeexpo.com/-home-page.html.
Feser's is a nearly foolproof strategy to lead one right where one wanted to go in the first place. Don't believe that?, then observe anyone who hasn't glommed on to the philosophy and watch how their predispositions take them right where you'd expect them to go anyway. Which is really right where they've been all along. Never fails. Ever.
Thomas B. Lounsbury observed: "We must view with profound respect the infinite capacity of the human mind to resist the inroads of useful knowledge."
* E. Feser's essay is available at: http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2010/03/1184/
Why not;
scientocracy – scientocrat?
I didn't read the assignment
Recently I saw a video on C.S.Lewis and intelligent design.C.S, based on the book Magician´s Twin (See the book http://astore.amazon.com/discoveryinsti12-20/detail/1936599058).
Lewis argued that those who defend naturalism (atheism) based on reason forget that reason can not be based on nothing. Reason cannot be based on irrationality. Lewis is arguing for intelligent desing.
Scientism is not scientific. Thinking about this, it is really tough to reach a name. It is like to be half pregnant.
But what about "sciencerapist"? Like someone raping the science. Maybe too long, but this is what I can thinking about.
How about sciphist as a play on sophist?

Surely just 'positivist', as in August Comte? 'Logical positivist' is a purely philosophical position referring to people such as Carnap and Wittgenstein.
Scidolator, if that hasn't been suggested yet.
The rightest answers are "Spocks" or "Sheldonists"
The realist answer is "Optimist"
Since we can't assume a sperical chicken in a vaccuum… my personal vote is for "triverist" – (cf Trivers' theory of self-deception ) because policy should indeed be set by research based reasoning but, in reality, we never have enough information to do this well.
by way of a start
If it's dismissive you want, look to the triumvirate of Communist thought: Engles, Lenin, and Trotsky — we'll give Marx a bye this time.
Paraphrazing Engles: What about "unscientific hucksterists"?
Paraphrasing Lenin: you got "philistine scientists" or simply "philistines," which seemed to work for almost anything. Or there is "scientific excrescence"? Talk about dismissive. Or ever, "those whose science sounds like they are chewing rags in their sleep."
Paraphrasing Trotsky: simply put, "scientists."
Inspired by Gavin Schmidt…
Academagogue, maybe?
Or technogogue, techogogue or scientologue to keep with the theme, although the last one appears to be the French word for Scientologist.
(as in scientificalistic)
I like your Sciencista? However, it rolls off the tongue better if spelled 'Scienista'. Like fashionista, which I hope was your meaning.
As a fan of messrs Jagger and Richards, perhaps Scisyphist, or Scisyphean?
You want obscure? I'll give you obscure:
aoristicist! 🙂
Scienticist perhaps ?
It's simple and clear enough, though i can't tell whether or not it breaks any rule of etymology.
I like "logical positivist" though since A J Ayer said of Logical Positivism, "Almost all of it was false".
Nothing beats "the Brights" for sheer irony.
Scienticist is less of tongue twister…
Scientipher, sort of half scientist and half philosopher. Or Scientifie, a post-modern contraction of "scientist" and "selfie".
BRIGGS RE: "Scientism is the belief that all questions can be answered by science, which itself isn't a scientific belief."
THAT's NOT WHAT Fesar says; he says "all real knowledge" is scientific, which is a very very different perspective than asserting 'all questions can be answered by science.' Here's Feser's definitions:
"Scientism is the view that all real knowledge is scientific knowledge—that there is no rational, objective form of inquiry that is not a branch of science." FROM: http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2010/03/1174/
"As I argued in part I, scientism—the view that all real knowledge is scientific knowledge—is either self-refuting or trivial." FROM: http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2010/03/1184/
That's another tactic from the New Age movement's playbook — redefine terms to mean whatever's desired (better, skip any formal definition & leave it implicitly understood so that all audience members can project their particular wants to allow them to see whatever they want…).
Ken, glad to see that I am not the only one fighting this battle. Also I see that my Orwell quote is being amplified by all and sundry.
I'm going with, 'scientomancer,' on the model of 'necromancer.'
I forgot this paraphrase from Lenin and Marx, "Vulgar scientists."
RE: BRIGGS: "Feser nails it. … Scientism is either self-refuting or trivial."
Feser & other create the term & concept of "scientism" to then refute it. It's a form of the "self-licking ice cream cone." Mental masturbation (term & concept courtesy of the lyrics to Sammy Hagar's "There's Only One Way to Rock").
Feser asserts the following, for example (http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2010/03/1174/ ):
"Indeed, the culture at large seems beholden to an inchoate scientism—"faith†is often pitted against "science†(even by those friendly to the former) as if "science†were synonymous with "reason.—
I'll leave it as an exercise to others to find the interview in some documentary or other that was aired in the past year or two with the Vatican's astronomer. In that interview he addressed head-on the science vs. faith theme — noting (among other things) that when the religion was founded and its core writings written there was no science, no scientific method or anything conceptually approaching that. Thus, matters of faith and matters of science cannot practically be mingled. The interview was much longer than a "soundbite" remark such as this, which doesn't really begin to do it justice.
Which logically leads to the next question, "Why make the effort?" (such as Feser's discourses on the contrived concept of "scientism" and so forth.
First, there's good reasons NOT to do so–any objective analysis of the "logic" applied by the likes espousing New Age themes is basically indistinguishable from that applied by Feser & his ilk (and we know with certainty much of the New Age themes are utter nonsense). That indicates a fundamental problem with the method as the method itself is so malleable to lead one to any conclusion. And that conclusion is invariable one the philosopher was predisposed for at the outset; no surprises there.
Second, and most importantly, matters of faith are matters in the realm of faith — a place inaccessible to science & related tools. Making attempts to objectively bridge that gap is no different than what that famous guy had to do to have (tangible proof) to accept what was standing right before & talking to him ("Doubting Thomas" was his name).
Anyone inclined to force "logic" & science into a realm it cannot go is deluding themselves about the exercise, much less the content of the exercise — what they're really doing is trying to force proof of something in which they lack faith…they need proof to have faith…but…refuse to acknowledge that fundamental [& painful] issue–they lack faith.
It's a behavior psychologists call a "reaction formation" — you can look that up easily enough.
EPILOGUE: One comment, less than 500 words, entwining masturbation, religious faith, Vatican science, Feser's philosophy of "scientism," the psychological term "reaction formation," and more…my work here is done!
Scientient,as in sentient. Perhaps suggested already. Or terrible. Or both.

Timberman is a new simple puzzle game, where you have to accomplish the main goal that is to cut wood without tree branch hitting your head, and you must do it before time is running out.
It sounds easier than you think, but it may get very difficult down the road in the game when the actual timer is rolling faster and much more incoming branches start appearing on the tree.
For such reasons, you must try to establish a frequent rhythm early on, and always make sure you look ahead so that you will not acquire caught away from guard through any sapling branches.
Just try and do either one of these simple things will result in you tapping too soon or as too late, that will cause your lumberjack to smash perfect into a tree branch and get rid of the level.
Anyway, if you do have a screen protector in your phone, just remove the actual protector temporarily so it will come to the highest sensitivity practical for the screen.
With screen protectors on you will be too easy to miss some sort of tap that will come to lose the actual round.
Along the game, you should keep the actual timer near the top of the level from striking empty so as to survive in each stage.
The faster plus the more persistently you tap into, the far more full the timer will remain.
However, it will eventually start giving up faster and to faster when you earn far more points with a stage, so it is recommended to tap more often on that stage.
If you can get more points score in an individual stage, or get harder total solid wood chunks in an individual cut, you will have a chance to unlock the harder stuff inside the costume store.
Costumes are unlocked possibly by hitting a specific high score with a stage as well as by hitting a specific total number of chunks, or by obtaining a particular ranking multiple times within a row.
Later on, if you start getting too irritated through some sages, you can put the game down for a couple of hours and keep coming back later after your adrenaline is back to normal
Therefore, if you get back to the game with fresh mind, your ratings will commonly skyrocket
Plus you can feel the game a lot easier to play and to beat stage by stage for having more points.

Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology AG has released multiple products developed by its new subsidiary Advanced Test Concepts, Inc. (ATC) that eliminate the need for special tracer gases by using air as part of its leading leak testing technology.
The devices operate according to patented Micro-Flow technology, consisting of an integrated micro sensor that works on accelerated flow.
The use of the Micro-Flow sensor in Mass Extraction techniques works on the principle of rarefied gas flow. This type of testing is ideal for enclosed objects, such as pharmaceutical packaging and electronic components, that are being tested for water tightness. Sensitivity of up to 5-10-6 mbar l/s can be achieved with this method.
Micro-Flow and Mass Extraction technologies are said to offer faster testing speeds, low susceptibility to ambient changes and higher sensitivity.
The company's new optical emission spectroscopy device doesn't use tracer gases either. Instead, the AMI device utilises a patented method that uses the existing gas mixture in the cavities inside the packaging to perform high-sensitivity testing over an extended measuring range.
The AMI was designed for high sensitivity integrity testing in a variety of different packaging types and can perform helium leak testing and rough leak testing with just one device.
Pfeiffer Vacuum acquired 100% of the shares of flow test instrument provider ATC last month.
ATC, an Indianapolis-based company founded in 1988, is a chief supplier of precision industrial leak and flow test products and solutions based on its patented micro-flow technology.
Pfeiffer Vacuum presented these latest test technologies at the Interpack and Control trade fairs in Germany.

>Hand crafted clasps
September 8, 2008 § 4 Comments
>I've found a new love. Metalwork. Oh my. The more 'skilled'…and at this point, I use that word loosely…I get at the sawing and the soldering the more excited I become at the possibilities. Its like sewing really. Metal not fabric, but the elements are similar. Decide what you're going to make, draw out your pattern, collect your tools, cut and assemble.
I have some sheets of copper and brass and some much smaller sheets of sterling and fine silver in varying gauges. So far I've found the brass the most difficult to manage because of the hardness. The sterling which I finally cut into yesterday, is by far the nicest to work with. I tend to beat them all up a bit, partly because I like the time worn look but also due to my level of skill. The brass takes on a beautiful finish in spite of my lack of experience and I love that.
I love the look of all of them for different reasons but really I lean toward the brass right now. I've listed a sweet copper and silver button in my etsy shop if you're interested in that sort of thing.
My desire to learn was to ensure myself of a sure supply of unique hand crafted clasps for my work but I can see this taking on a life of its own…

A floor of the textile cloth is coated with first and second layers of polyorganosiloxane-based mostly elastomeric materials. The polyorganosiloxane-primarily based materials of the first layer reveals an elongation-at-break of at the very least four hundred%. The polyorganosiloxane-based mostly material of the second layer exhibits a tear-energy of at-least 30 KN/m. The good thing about utilizing silicone-coated compositions over different, e.g. organic coating compositions, lies e.g. within the improved weather ability, means to maintain flexibility and heat resistance of the silicone-based composition. Suitable curing situations for the preferred compositions are 120 to 200oC. for a period of up to 5 minutes. The silicone coating primarily offers a thermal barrier on the airbags to protect the fabric from the high temperature burst associated with ignition of the fuel upon deployment. The silicone coating additionally supplies some fuel retention properties for the deployed airbag.
