Further clarifies eliminativism, and further demonstrates its intelligibility, by showing eliminativism's novel and interesting solutions to a number of philosophical puzzles. The arguments of this chapter also support the truth of eliminativism. The arguments touch on a variety of topics, including vagueness and the 'Sorites1 Game,' worries about co-location and constitution, and the way a thinker (such as a person) is related to her brain.

OKEECHOBEE — On May 21, the third day of the trial, convicted murderer Michael Lawrence Woodbury, 42, of Windham, Maine, changed his plea to "guilty as charged" to the Sept. 22, 2017 first degree premeditated murder of his Okeechobee Correctional Institution (OCI) cell mate, Antoneeze Haynes when he struck Haynes repeatedly with a padlock.
The penalty phase in which Woodbury will receive either life imprisonment or the death penalty is tentatively set to begin July 23.
The trial began on Thursday, May 17, with Woodbury choosing to represent himself with the presence of standby counsel Stanley Glenn and Shane Manship. Prosecuting the case on behalf of the State of Florida were assistant state attorneys from the 19th Judicial Circuit, Ashley Albright and Don Richardson, and presiding over the criminal case was St. Lucie County Circuit Judge Sherwood Bauer.
Judge Bauer found Woodbury competent upon waiving his right to counsel on multiple occasions throughout the trial. Woodbury objected to the multiple readings of his waiver of counsel rights on what he deemed as "harassment" by the state.
In his opening statement Mr. Richardson described the injuries Haynes sustained during an altercation with Woodbury in their cell: "Several brain hemorrhages and bruises, broken jaw bone and 11 lacerations to the torso. More than a dozen lacerations and abrasions to the extremities. Almost every rib in his body was fractured, a fractured sternum, broken fingers and toes, and one missing tooth, root and all."
The medical examiner later testified that the injuries sustained by Haynes, "certainly would," have been consistent with those caused by a padlock used to strike the victim. She said the injuries included "21 lacerations and abrasions to the face and skull area, 11 lacerations and abrasions to the torso."
The medical examiner also testified that the cause of death to Haynes was determined as blood loss from severe amounts of physical trauma, "consistent with torturing and extreme amounts of suffering."
Mr. Richardson quoted a reported statement by Woodbury according to witness, "Call me Phoenix! Call me Phoenix! I'm in control now, I'm in control! You try to come into this cell and I'll kill him and I'll kill the first officer who comes in."
Mr. Richardson also recited Woodbury's audio recorded statements to Haynes in the cell to the jury, "I know it hurts, I know it hurts, it's called torture! Welcome to the house of pain, it actually exists, it's on the ninth level of hell, I used to run it."
Woodbury used his opening remarks to tell the jury his version of events.
"This case is first and foremost, from my perspective, about how my cell mate, Haynes, attempted to rape and sexually assault me while asleep in my bed in the middle of the night," he said. "This case is secondly about how I reacted to Haynes' rape attempt in a way that ultimately led to his death."
He said that he and Haynes apparently got off on a bad foot initially and that he thought things were smoothed over after he provided coffee to Haynes in the preceding days.
"Long story short, he took my kindness for weakness, which happens in prison all the time.
At about 2:30 a.m. to 3 a.m., I feel a hand on my upper leg and groin area. I struggled to wake up, then slapped his hand away upon coming fully awake." Woodbury then told the members of the jury that Haynes was supposedly telling him to roll over, as he attempted to sexually assault him.
"I jumped off the bunk and put on my boots. Haynes thinks I'm going to kick on the door to summon the cops in the officers' station to tell on him. I take his boots and launch them at his head. One hits him in the shoulder the other bounces behind the locker, and I tell him 'Put on your boots and prepare to defend your life, you played, now you gonna pay.'"
Woodbury said Haynes did not know how to respond, comparing it to, "a matador charging a bull," or, "a gazelle now biting on the lion," stating it was too much for Haynes.
Woodbury then said that as Haynes went to get the boot from behind the locker, "I thought, 'I'm not giving this dude a fair fight, at all.' I then proceeded to kick him in the face like a 50-yard field goal that would've been good from 60. We had another fight after that. In short I went berserk.
"Yes, I used excessive force. Yes the punishment did not fit the crime, I admit that freely, but is it premeditated first degree murder? No, this is me going berserk and staying in a form of berserk. I just couldn't stop, this case is ultimately about Haynes' attempt to rape me."
A witness called by the state testified to leaving the Florida Department of Corrections because of the experience, responding to the attack from Woodbury on Haynes. Mr. Albright asked the witness, "At some point did he ask you if you thought he was crazy?," to which the witness responded, "Yes, after he would hit him (Haynes) he would ask, 'Am I crazy?' at that time I told him 'No, I don't think you're crazy, I think you're misunderstood and not understanding what's going on' he said, 'Oh, so you don't think I'm crazy?' He then raised three fingers, wiped the back of the other inmate's head covered in blood, sat down on his locker, licked his fingers and said 'Am I crazy now?'"
The witness then stated that Woodbury repeatedly hit Haynes in the back of the head and blood would "squirt over the walls."
He said Woodbury hit Haynes more than 50 times.
A witness from Okeechobee Correctional Institution (OCI) testified that Woodbury said, "Go get me a white shirt (supervisor), we have a hostage situation … I have the power now," and that Woodbury, "appeared frantic."
Another OCI witness said, "I tried to talk to inmate Woodbury and he responded, 'I'm not talking to no sergeant,' I heard a thud and he stated to me, 'That was because of you," striking Haynes as Woodbury's requests were not being met.
A nearly 2-hour long video was played for jury members in conjunction with the state's final witness, who spent much of the time during the incident speaking with Woodbury.
The witness said Woodbury had barricaded the cell door: "It's like taking a broomstick handle in a sliding glass door track. It is really a poor design from when the prison was built."
According to the witness testimony, Woodbury asked to be transferred back up north to New Hampshire and was aware of the camera operators videoing him when he addressed them and then struck Haynes.
Woodbury took the stand and claimed that the barricaded door claim by OCI was a maneuver to cover the mistakes made by the agency's personnel during the incident. "I put them in a bad position," Woodbury stated of having Haynes hostage until the tactical cell teams arrived for the extraction.
After he finished his testimony on the stand, Woodbury then pleaded guilty, avoiding cross examination by the prosecution.
Defendant allowed to represent himself
According to Vol. 18, Issue 4, Article 3, The Right To Waive Competent Counsel: Extending the Faretta Waiver by Augustine Gerrard Yee.
"Under the Sixth Amendment, a criminal defendant is guaranteed the right to counsel. Incorporated within this right is the right to waive counsel and represent oneself in a criminal proceeding. Accordingly, the Supreme Court in Faretta v. California held that, under the Sixth Amendment, a criminal defendant has the right to waive the assistance of counsel and to represent himself at trial. Because courts have relied upon Faretta in determining the applicable waiver standard where a defendant wishes to proceed with incompetent counsel, an analysis of the Court's decision is necessary.
The court declared that an accused may waive the assistance of counsel and proceed pro se if a valid waiver is knowingly and intelligently made. This is to ensure that the defendant is "aware of the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation so that the record will establish that 'he knows what he is doing and his choice is made with his eyes open.'" The trial judge must inquire into and advise the defendant of the dangers and complications associated with the decision to proceed pro se. Such inquiry should be reflected on the court record as an explicit dialogue to protect against reversal. Because a defendant has a constitutional right to receive counsel, until that right is validly waived, a court which allows a defendant to proceed without a valid waiver is in essence denying the defendant constitutional protection. Therefore, an implied waiver of a constitutional right is generally not presumed. To be effective, a valid waiver must be received by the court, and reflected on the court record.
"In electing to represent himself, an accused abandons his right to competent counsel and loses the opportunity to argue ineffectiveness of counsel upon appeal. However, the right to represent oneself is not absolute and the trial judge may restrict, prevent, or terminate the defendant's pro se status if the trial proceedings are seriously disrupted. A trial court's arbitrary disallowance of a valid waiver is grounds for reversal."
And according to Competency to Waive Right to Counsel in The Journal of American Academy of Psychiatry and Law by Lia N. Rohler and Debra A. Pinals, "Although the ruling in Godinez v. Moran, 509 U.S. 389 (1993), established that the elements of decision-making at trial fall under one standard for competency to stand trial and Faretta v. California established that defendants have a right to represent themselves, Indiana v. Edwards established that when a defendant seeks to waive his right to counsel, a determination that he is competent to stand trial is not enough. It is important to note that a defendant does not need extensive knowledge of the legal system to represent himself. Furthermore, although no formal standard for competence to represent oneself was decided on by the U.S. Supreme Court, a defendant likely does need sufficient presence of mind to represent himself, which can be hampered by symptoms of mental illness. A judge would determine whether the symptoms rose to a level that warranted a finding of incompetence to proceed pro se. The Edwards Supreme Court decision demonstrated the risk that allowing a defendant with mental illness to represent himself could lead to an unfair and humiliating spectacle of a trial. Mental health professionals must be aware of what competencies are required when conducting various types of forensic evaluations. They must also understand, and effectively convey to the court, how specific symptoms of mental illness might affect each particular type of competency."
The prosecution did its due diligence to ensure that Woodbury was competent throughout the trial proceedings.

A limited liability company was insured on a commercial-property policy issued by the appellant. The LLC sued for policy coverage for fire damage to a building owned by its subsidiary, which was not a named insured. The circuit court erred in holding that the LLC's ability to control its subsidiary meant that, for insurance-coverage purposes, the LLC acquired all of the subsidiary's property under a coverage-extension provision in the policy.
The policy's declarations, the language in the coverage and coverage-extension provisions, and the language in the subrogation and exclusion provisions all undermine the reasonableness of the "ability to control" argument. The declarations imply that the "interest" of the named insured is its ownership interest in the premises covered by the policy. Others' covered interests (in personal property only) are specifically described elsewhere, and applying the subrogation and intentional-loss exclusion provisions as the LLC proposes would lead to peculiar results.
Because the policy didn't cover the subsidiary's damaged property, the circuit could should have granted the insurer's motion for summary judgment.
Reversed and final judgment.
Erie Ins. Exchange v. EPC MD 15 LLC (P), No. 180120, Jan. 17, 2019. SCV (Kelsey) from Winchester (Athey).

I was early as I sat in the fishbowl waiting. It wasn't the most ideal place, but I was lucky that they'd granted me permission at all. So I would take all I could get. While the great thing about the fishbowl was I could watch everyone who passed by. But they could watch me too.
Not that I cared, but me in my eyeliner and blue dyed tips always got a second glance back through the glass walls. It was either recognition, or curiosity that brought their eyes back to me. Curious about what I was doing there. Curious about who I was never really crossed their minds. The Venatori seemed like a large group with most of us living all with in one building, but we went very large a race. We were a couple hundred thousand strong and that was it. We were born, we hunted, we died. It was the cycle of our life, but we still didn't know every Venatori, but here in New York City everyone kinda knew every one else. We mostly all lived here, and worked here. This was the main headquarters after all, we had the resources to house may more Venatori too.
Most of our eggheads, the Scrin were in this building. There was another facility like the Archives in London. But that was smaller housed fewer Venatori but it was the Eurasia headquarters. The rest of our facilities were just halfway houses for small stays and checks. They had minimal resources and most of that was just weapons.
Two boys were escorted to Dae'lin's office across the hall. I saw them and recognized them immediately from my dream. I sat up straighter when I saw them, they blinked back at me in recognition. We all knew what had happened was real. I could see the pain they hid in their eyes.
The were sat down in the office and the man who'd escorted him I knew well. He was headmaster of the Academy, I'd been sent to his office on many occasions. Right before he'd send me back to Dorian for my disciplining.
Richard Weston was a good man. He walked in to the fishbowl and sat down across from me. He looked a little older than the last time I'd seen him. He had some grey in his hair and the glasses on his nose didn't quite fit as well as they once used to, he'd lost some weight. I grinned at him. "For once I'm not in your office," I declared.
He let lose a hearty laugh, like he'd been holding something back too long. It wasn't funny, it wasn't humor but he laughed. I watched as he doubled over and then started coughing. He sighed as he sat up to catch his breath. "I'm sorry. This whole mess is just that a mess."
I nodded. "Did you get the recording?"
Richard nodded. "A full investigation has been launched and Sam and Emma are not with Mr. Spence any longer and shouldn't have any issues keeping him away from them." He leaned back in his chair. "These other boys haven't been in Garrett's care for a long time. I'm noticing a pattern."
I closed my eyes and tried to keep my mind clear as I stood up and turned around. My fingers were shaking, my hands were freezing against my skin as I pulled my t-shirt and hoodie up to reveal my back. "Jesus Fucking Christ what the hell happened to you."
"You saw the recording. While there is no proof Garrett hit me, he did it in my head. And my nightmares today still produce those results. He never hurt me, but somehow he's hurting us in our sleep."
Richard Weston sat forward in his chair and put his elbows on the table and steepled his fingers like I remembered him doing so many times over so many trips to his office. "It's not possible. Garrett isn't a dream-walker. After Emma and Sam claimed to say the same thing you have we had him tested. It's not possible, Nox. He's Magnus, he's an empath. Nothing more."
"Then how the fuck does he get in our heads and torture us?" I yelled at the headmaster. I could feel the fury building around me and I knew if I didn't calm down I was going to be looking for an orange door to let loose all the built up energy.
I sat down and hung my head and too deep breaths. The chair rolled across the floor and foot steps echoed in the silence of the room as Richard came around and put his hand on my shoulders and I jerked at the touch. I didn't want comfort from a near stranger. He squeezed ten let go and sat down beside me, turning my chair towards his. "Son, we will look into it. Don't you worry."
I sighed still looking down at the floor. "He's still hurting us, so do what you can but…" I looked up and stared into those grey eyes. "I'm not going to stop until this stops."
Richard nodded. "You were always like a dog with a bone."
"Sir, I'd like to talk to the boys if I can."
"Of course Nox." He stood up, "Of course. Their parents have agreed in light of the recording you sent. They want to know if they can help. Even Emma and Sam's parents have stopped trying to make it seem like it's your fault for all of this."
Richard Weston walked out of the fishbowl and left me in the glass walls alone and waiting while everyone who passed could see the agitation written all over my face. I could feel the heat and the power around me. I was surprised no one was trying to tell me to calm down.

If Techno is what you're here for, we will do anything to make sure you don't end up dancing to indecipherable Dutch classics in a local cafe. And of course, you don't have to, because Amsterdam is home to a good number of techno clubs. Where to find the best ones? We'll show you!
The big, mainstream clubs offer their fair share of techno but in a city that's home to an almost endless amount of abandoned factory buildings, new underground hangouts are popping up all the time. They often offer a lot more than just music and are definitely worth a visit on other hours of the day. But when the sun sets, the real party gets started.
So grab your Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket and get ready to explore and have a good time. The list of places that are eager to show you their tricks is every growing and with your ticket, you get access to the finest bunch.
Electronic, house & techno
Your Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket gives you access to a huge selection of events during the weekend at Radion and trust us, you want to make use of that. This cultural breeding place is constantly trying to find the edge of experimental projects. It used to be a lecture hall, but nowadays 'partying' is the only subject they teach. Progressive club nights are the usual, on top of creative events they regularly host.
So take your pick and decide on what you'd like your dose of techno to go with because the variety is endless in this artistic juncture. Live performances? International DJ's? You name it. Radion's club nights will make all your techno dreams come true.
Warehouse Elementenstraat
House & techno
There's something about the Dutch capital city and turning old warehouses into nighteries. But perhaps it just makes too much sense not to. Huge spaces, great sound and lots of character. The same goes for the old peanut factory on the Elementenstraat that can be found in the industrial part of West Amsterdam.
In the early '90s, the warehouse was already discovered as an excellent venue to host large scale raves but closed after only a year of partying. Twenty years later the warehouse re-opened its doors for lovers of underground house and techno. Check their facebook page for upcoming events.
Club Panama
Techno, EDM
Club Panama Amsterdam is one of the most appreciated techno clubs. Enjoy the best Techno music every Thursday at Panama, 'Techno Thursdays.
The club is located nearby Amsterdam Central Station, surrounded by like-minded souls and music lovers. And although Claire's interior is anything but grungy, party folks are not required to dress up fancy. Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and more important, something that allows you to move till the sun comes up. Get your Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket and check what Panama has waiting for you.
Drum, Bass, House, Techno, Electronic
It's got the looks and the location. An old factory with two separate halls to show off your moves, right in the middle of the city at Leidseplein. Melkweg is an all-time favorite that pleases both locals and visitors and also holds a few surprises in the techno department.
Techno Tuesday is a weekly event and with a name like that, an explanation is unnecessary. Knock out techno beats all night long for you to party till you drop. Care for some drum 'n bass too? Melkweg's Cheeky Monday also makes a weekly comeback to guarantee a good start of the week.
Your Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket gives you access to the Melkweg on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and additional events on the weekend that you can select in the 'extra's' section. Make sure to check out this city idol.
Jazz, funk, nu-disco, tech-house, electro, Italo house, pop, deep house, techno
VLLA establishes parties with organizations that know exactly what they're doing. So whether they're playing jazz, pop, tech house or techno, you can always expect the music selection to be of the highest standards.
This club is also a place of contradictions. Things used to be awfully quiet in this former funeral home, but nowadays it couldn't be louder. Mourning rooms that embodied sadness are now packed with art, and creativity awakens in a spot that wasn't much lively in the past.
VLLA's garden is an excellent spot to chill before the party starts and meet likeminded artistic spirits who enjoy a good fiesta. And with your Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket, you get access to special club nights at this extraordinary institute that's definitely worth checking out.
House & techno
A relatively new underground space in town that's literally below the surface. Enter the staircase through the huge hatch door and you'll find yourself right beneath the tall Amsterdam Tower, a new city icon.
The sound system is just as solid as the concrete interior. The space is quite dark because Shelter doesn't allow for too many distractions from what it's all about: music. The dress code tells visitors to dress in a way that matches their personality, so this club is definitely a place where you can be you.
Shelter's main focus is on house and techno, but sometimes they allow room for disco and other controversial sounds to seep in through the cracks of the basement. Often they're open till 8 am in the morning, but check their facebook page for specific info about opening hours and events.
Club John Doe
Tech-house, Urban, RnB, Dance & Afrobeats and more
Located on Rembrandt square and the spot in town where exciting things happen around the clock. Club John Doe is anything but anonymous but mysterious nonetheless. Picture dark but intensely stylish rooms with top-notch lighting technologies to set the mood.
According to John, there is 'No Sunday Without Techno' and he will make sure that is the case. The city's best underground artists guarantee outstanding quality of music six nights of the week. They aim to remain undefined and that reflects in the sound they offer. So check the events at the checkout when you get your Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket and see which ones match your taste for techno
This non-profit organization located right next to the famous Vondelpark aims to give its visitors something unique, diverse and affordable. Both local and international DJ's steal the show on weekends and on weekdays live performances are part of the program.
The big, steel door entrance gives you a sneak peek of what you'll find on the inside. Rough around the edges, but also intimate and intense. Check their facebook page to see what's happening during your visit, because when we say diverse that's exactly what we mean. From karaoke to jungle dub, indietronica and techno, OT301 is literally all over the place.
De School
By now you probably understand that Amsterdam is a creative hub, epic center of free expression and experiments and a place where art is found on every street corner. Go big or go home seems to be the motto which translates into organizations like De School. There's a cafe, restaurant, art program, even a gym and of course a nightclub.
It has only been open for a few years, yet the club nights and line-ups have made a name for themselves and locals are eager to cycle an extra kilometer for it. De School will exceed your expectations so head over to their website to explore the program and make dinner reservations while you're at it.
Jack Amsterdam
House, Techno & EBM
At Jack's nothing is certain and that's exactly how they like it to be. The LGBTQ-friendliest place of all techno clubs in Amsterdam, but what Jack really wants is to be close with everyone. That means the only rule they've set is that everyone is welcome and free to be who they are.
You are encouraged to explore your own and each other's uniqueness and express in the way you dress! Outrageous is good so dust off your glitter pants, kinky boots or wear nothing at all. Just don't look like a bum because those won't make it past the entrance to make sure everyone will have an awesome time.
Select an event at the Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket checkout and find out what this mysterious place is hiding behind its doors.
Bigger is better.
As becomes clear from this list, the big clubs and underground establishments are your best bet for finding the finest techno in town. These places like to mix things up, so look out for that specific blend that makes your heart skip a beat and design your perfect night out.
Dress codes are often casual, but suits, uniforms and shirt dresses are not appreciated at most venues so make sure to check first or go safe. But not too safe, as Amsterdam leaves plenty of room for expression and creativity is much appreciated.
Some sites are located outside the city center. Luckily Amsterdam is small and a few drinks are great fuel for a nice bike ride. Forget about public transport in the early hours of a new day, so make sure you have your rental all set or UBER installed. Your first ride under €10 is free with your Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket as well as access to the best techno clubs in town. A visit to this thrilling capital filled with your favorite beats is just a step away!

When a couple goes through divorce, it doesn't necessarily mean each person can cut the other party out of their life. There are times when one person will pay the other alimony. This is based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to:
-- Age and health of both people.
-- How long the couple was married.
-- Future earning capacity of both individuals.
-- Standard of living maintained during the marriage.
-- Cost of education for the person seeking alimony.
In the event that alimony is awarded, it is important for both parties to understand their rights. Furthermore, both sides should know what types of records to keep.
The payer needs to keep the following:
-- A list of when each payment was made, including the check number and date.
-- Copies of each check used for an alimony payment.
-- Receipts for any alimony payment made by cash.
Conversely, the person receiving alimony should keep the following:
-- The date they receive each payment.
-- The amount of each payment.
-- The method of each payment, including the check number.
-- A copy of each check.
-- A copy of any receipt for a cash payment.
Just because a couple goes through divorce does not mean that one party will pay the other spousal support, but there are times when this occurs. If you find yourself on either side of this, make sure you remain organized and know which records to keep. This information may not sound important, but it could come in handy in the future if a dispute arises.

It's been a tough year for the South African economy, with GDP shrinking by 2.2% in the final quarter of 2017, and further drops expected for us in the year ahead. An unfortunate side-effect of this downturn is that more and more South Africans are struggling with only 65% of South Africans being able to pay their rent on time this year.
In light of the current climate, more and more people are looking to borrow money to cover their needs in the short and medium-term. When it comes to taking out a loan, it is more important than ever that we know what to look for, and how to find the right loan for us.
Taking out a loan has plenty of tangible benefits aside from catching up with the bills. You can bring your credit score up to scratch and invest in your future.
However, taking out loans without doing the right research can hinder more than it can help, so here are the three top things we look out for when taking out a personal loan.
When Taking Out a Loan, Timing is Everything
If you're looking for the cheapest loan, time is the number one factor for many reasons. For one thing, the total Annual Percentage Rate (APR) which reflects the true cost of a loan, is likely to vary at different times of the year. This is because many loan providers base their rates on factors tied to the wider economy, so rates might be more favorable following say, a reported increase in national jobs growth.
Secondly, it's important to know what length of the loan is the right length, with short-term loans tending to be less risky and easier to pay off than longer-term ones. Shorter loan terms mean shorter rates.
Know Your Score
If we have one golden nugget of wisdom for taking out a loan, know that a credit score is the most important link between you and that money. If a score is too low, it may not be possible to get a loan at all, while if it's particularly high, lenders will flock to you as you've proven your reliability.
If you want to get a loan, make sure to take the right steps beforehand to check your credit score. Make sure everything is up to scratch, then you know that yourself and your lender won't be in for any unwanted surprises further down the line. Out of the many questions we ask ourselves before borrowing money, this is the most important.
Flexibility is Key
We all have busy lives that are full of surprises. Making sure the terms of any loan we take out are flexible, and that we're able to ensure a loan's terms meet our personal needs, is absolutely key.
Always opt for a loan that is customizable to your needs. For example, repayment schedules should always fit your own paycheck, and you should be able to make payments over a wide variety of platforms.

Round Rugs
Beautiful Collection of Antique and Vintage Round Rugs
Our vintage, circular, oval and round rugs are skillfully crafted works of art. These unique rugs were created by talented artists throughout the twentieth century, and each round rug has a classic style that represents the country and decade in which it was made. Whether you are looking for a small carpet or a large one, there is bound to be a rug in our collection that appeals to your home interior design aesthetics. All of our antique, limited edition products, flat-woven or pile rugs, have something special to offer.
Some of these round rugs feature an intricate network of lines and colors, while others confidently represent the more simplistic designs of the Art Deco movement.
Oval and rounder area rugs, much like angular ones, are designed to draw attention to a specific point on the ground. This point is usually arranged as a part of a whole, in turn leading the viewer's eye to other sections that define the furnishings in the area. However, unlike traditional angular rugs, round rugs are designed to offset the linear nature of the surrounding room. With the presence of the floors, walls and doorways, there are already many angular lines defining the rigidity in the environment. With a round area rug, decorators can break up the traditional monotony through the use of softened spaces and more whimsical flows that lead the eyes in a less grounded manner.
Read more …
No matter the colors or patterns chosen for the rugs, their round shape makes them ideal because the form echoes similar elements in the room. Items such as lighting fixtures, round circular shapes and appliances mesh with rounder rugs in a subtle yet elegant way. Especially in rooms such as kitchens and dens where such fixtures and circular arrangements are more prevalent. The casual appeal of the rugs, allows them to stand out without looking overdone.
Rounder rugs can also stand out as a perfect visual solution to opening up smaller rooms and allowing them to appear larger and more defined. This presence is ideal at the front of the room, where visitors can see the rug first and the rest of the furnishings next. Use these round rugs to create richer feelings of warmth, as the round shape implies softness and intimacy, especially when paired with colors such as orange, red and yellow. They can be applied by using many of the same techniques as with a standard rectangular rug.
Furnishings can be arranged around the rug itself, or the rug can be used to house several furnishings within its shape. No matter the arrangement, decorators are encouraged to be creative and apply their own personal preferences to the rugs to get the best visual effects.

General Director and Member of the Board of Directors of the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies. Dr. Bishara is a researcher and writer with numerous books and publications on political thought, social theory and philosophy, as well as some literary works. He taught philosophy and cultural studies at Birzeit University from 1986 to 1996, and was involved in the establishment of research centers in Palestine including the Palestinian Institute for the Study of Democracy (Muwatin) and the Mada al-Carmel Center for Applied Social Research. In 2007 he was forced to go into exile after being prosecuted by Israel. In 2002 he won the Ibn Rushd Prize for Freedom of Thought, and in 2003 the Global Exchange Human Rights Award. He received his doctorate in philosophy in 1986 at Humboldt University in Berlin, having previously completed his master's degree there in 1984.
Dr. Bishara has published hundreds of papers and studies in academic journals in various languages. His best-known publications include: On the Arab Question: An Introduction to an Arab Democratic Manifesto; Civil Society: A Critical Study; Religion and Secularity in Historical Context (two parts in three volumes); On Revolution and Revolutionary Potential; Is There a Coptic Issue in Egypt?; To be an Arab in our Times; The Army and Politics: Theoretical Problems and Arab Models; Essay on Freedom; Sect, Sectarianism and Imagined Sects; What is Salafism?; and The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Daesh): A General Framework and Critical Contribution to Understanding the Phenomenon. Some of these books have become seminal works in their field.
He also produced a series of three books documenting the Arab revolutions that broke out in 2011: The Glorious Tunisian Revolution; Syria: The Painful Road to Freedom; and Egypt's Revolution (two volumes). These books deal with the causes and stages of the revolutions in Tunisia, Syria, and Egypt. These books are a rich contribution to the field of contemporary history thanks to their combination of documentation and narration of the day-to-day details of these revolutions and sharp analysis making connections between the social, economic and political backgrounds of each individual revolution.
This essay is not an attempt to provide a comprehensive historical or sociological treatment of the subject of intellectuals and their role in revolution; rather, it is a conceptual contribution that aims to produce knowledge through critique and the differentiation of key terms-linguistically, conceptually, and historically. In so doing, Bishara examines terms such as "the intellectual," "the intelligentsia," "the organic intellectual," and, finally, "the public intellectual". For the latter, emphasis is placed on public intellectuals' ability to go beyond their specializations and engage directly with the public on issues concerning state and society.
This paper distinguishes between intellectuals and those who work in a field that mainly relies on their intellectual ability; between academics, whose sole focus is their field, and social actors who take an interest in several fields but are not specialized in a specific one. A conceptual distinction is then drawn between the intellectual and the rest of society. Through this endeavor, the author clarifies what he considers to be the main attribute of an intellectual-the ability to take stances based on epistemological grounds and value judgments at the same time.
Finally, the paper concludes that two types of intellectuals are scarce in the Arab revolutions: the "revolutionary intellectual," who maintains a critical distance not only from the regime, but also from the revolution, and the "conservative intellectual," who argues for the preservation of the regime due to the potential for change that exists within it, and the wisdom embedded in the state and its traditions. For Bishara, the role of the revolutionary intellectual does not end with the outbreak of a revolution, but, in fact, takes on greater complexity and significance once the need to propose post-revolutionary alternatives arises.

New Alert Logic Program Unlocks and Accelerates Revenue for Partners Through Security and Compliance Offerings
HOUSTON – October 16, 2018 – Alert Logic, the leading provider of Security-as-a-Service solutions, today launched the Alert Logic® Partner Connect Program, empowering partners to offer market-leading security solutions that enhance their existing offerings. The new program enables partners to accelerate revenue while increasing the value they offer to their customers, especially resource-constrained buyers and mid-market organizations that must secure cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments. The program also helps end users obtain the comprehensive security services and expertise they need from the channel community that already serves them.
Many of today's organizations are struggling with technological complexity and are turning to vendors to help them solve security problems and obtain security expertise. According to Forrester Research¹, "The amount of technology and cybersecurity innovation today is unprecedented, but each innovation requires new skills, new workflows, and extra capacity to handle all the alerts and remediation actions it produces."
Through the Alert Logic Partner Connect Program, partners can add security solutions addressing the needs of both existing and potential customers, strengthening their brand, customer loyalty, and ability to generate higher margins. "Logicworks acts as an extension of our customers' teams to ensure high security and compliance requirements are met throughout the cloud journey," said Marilyn Daly, Vice President of Marketing, Logicworks. "Our services are designed to help our customers meet regulatory requirements, secure critical resources, and monitor networks. We are pleased to partner with Alert Logic to offer our customers best-in-class tools to meet their security needs."
The initiative is launching under the leadership of Christopher Rajiah, Senior Vice President of Partnerships & Alliances, who joined the company this year to grow the partner ecosystem globally and expand and deepen partner's capability to design and deploy Alert Logic solutions for their customers. "Cloudreach has built our business around enabling our customers through best-practice guidance and tooling, and security is increasingly front and center," said Tom Ray, Head of Global Partnerships, Cloudreach. "The Alert Logic partner program allows us to further strengthen our value proposition, participate more deeply in service and support with our customers, and articulate a clearer, more competitive advantage in sales conversations. This is especially important for our customers who work across multiple platforms and who are using the latest security technologies such as containers for agility. We are excited to partner with Alert Logic."
Alert Logic structured the new program to meet the needs of three different partner types:
- Reseller Partners who bundle their services with Alert Logic security solutions to create compelling new security offerings for customers
- Referral Partners who serve as advisors to customers and who provide guidance and ancillary solutions that include Alert Logic
- Technology Alliance Partners who integrate and extend the benefit of Alert Logic offerings and create a unique end-to-end value proposition for customers
"We are empowering our channel partners to capitalize on the significant business opportunity to support their customers' security needs, and not only increase their 'trusted advisor' status but also make it easier for them to extend their services and increase wallet share by offering new services," said Rajiah. "This new comprehensive program is designed to effectively secure customers and provide the tools and resources to set our partners apart. This program represents one of the top strategic initiatives for Alert Logic."
The new partner program is bolstered by resources and processes that aim to make partnering easy. Alert Logic provides a global team of sales, marketing and engineering professionals, in addition to online resources for content, pricing, and troubleshooting. A dedicated partner support team includes channel managers, training resources and support groups dedicated to partners and end-customers. Flexible program tiering helps partners grow their security practice and realize increased benefits as they expand their services offering. Partners' end users benefit from Alert Logic's Security Operations Center, staffed by GIAC-certified analysts who identify and analyze over 500,000 security events and 15,000 security incidents every month.
Visit the Alert Logic® Partner Connect Program page for more information.

To George Washington from Alexander Spotswood, 11 September 1798
From Alexander Spotswood
Newpost—Septr 11 1798.
Dear Sir
Myself and family Felt much happiness, on being informed that Mr B. Washington had on his way through Fredericksburg last week reported you on the recovery—and we hope by this, that you begin to feel a rapid return to your former health.1
My last informed you that my Sons overseer on account of his health declines engageing in business and that my overseer will engage with you for fifty pounds a year and your usual allowance of provision—his faults I made you acquainted with—he is a man very capable of Business—and I am inclined to think under the eye of a Steawrd will do well.
My principal reason for not keeping him—is the many connections he has in this neighborhood—who on there way to, and from town—call on, & keep him from his duty.
Richard Rhodes, the man I recommended for yr house overseer, I wrote to last week—I have not yet had his answer, I shall write again to morrow—and as I know he will Suit you—I could wish you to keep the place Vacant for a few weeks to come.
Respecting Carter the Joiner—I wrote to a Mr Wm Richards a man much to be relied on to know of Carter if he would live with you—and what his Terms would be—and should Carter decline, to look out for a young man that he personally knew—and could recommend—his answer was, that he had seen carter—who had declined the Joiners Busseness—and was then engaged with a mill wright—at which bussiness he intended to continue—but would see me in a few days.
he was down yesterday and brought with him a young man by the name of Brookes—who Says he will engage with you for £45 pr year, Mr Richards tels me he has known him from his infancy, that he is a compleet Joiner—a young man of fine moral Character—very industrious—and much to be depended on—This young man, as well as my overseer—wishes to know as early as possible your determination as to them.2
Since my return home I have recd a letter from Mr B. Feild in the green river country—he acknowledges the rect of my letter—incloseing instructions &c. as to the lands, that lay opposite yours on Rough creek—and assures me, if in his power, your wishes shall be complied with3—Mrs Spotswood & family desires to be presented in the most respectful & affectionate manner to you, Mrs Washington & Miss Custis as well as dr sr yr Most Ot & affect.

I would love to get rid of mine but for the moment I'm stuck with it. I've always had a car since I was young but I've reached an age now where I know that I don't need one. I live in a flat city, I can travel by taxi, bus, train, cycle, walk or hitchhike, the habit is hard to break.

The School Outreach Programme is a vital part of JRS Malta's awareness raising activities. It started through an EU-funded project, Saħħa fid-Diversità (2004-2005) which JRS Malta undertook in partnership with KNPD (Kummissjoni Nazzjonali Persuni b'Diżabilità). Following the success of this project JRS sought to sustain the School Outreach Programme. For the past 10 years, the programme has been offered to all state and non-state secondary schools and from the academic year of 2011 – 2012 to all primary schools in Malta and Gozo. The programme is implemented with the support of the Ministry of Education.
In 2015 JRS Malta will once again be embarking on a school outeach project, titled Integration in Action, which been made possible through the support of the President's Award for Creativity that was awarded to JRS Malta on 16th October 2014.
With the support of the Ministry for Education, Integration in Action, will take on a new format from previous projects in this area; focusing on a considerably smaller number of schools and reaching out to a more modest number of students, this project aims to faciliate the integration of migrants and refugees by enhancing their capacity to act as agents of change and foster a culture of welcome and inclusion in Maltese society. Through the use of theatre and drama, the participants will raise awareness of their experiences, to help foster a deeper understanding of the causes of forced displacement, promoting greater respect for human dignity and appreciation of the diversity of people and cultures in Malta.
The project will run between January and May 2015.
Heads of School / Teachers interested in the project are kindly asked to contact Vyacheslav Okun sj via e-mail at email@example.com or telephone number 2144 2751.

Hello, it's me, the white tulip, writing to you on Wednesday, April the 27th, (sneaking in a posting, since The Last Leaf Gardener "normally" only posts on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays). I have opened up a bit since yesterday as you can see in my photograph posted above, and now, what I want to know is in that poem, Tulips — did Ms. Plath really say, that when open we have a "mouth of an African Lion"? It's no wonder we are slow to open at times . . . even the buds next to me seem to be apprehensive, they are not opening very much at all, and I'd love some company.
And, BTW, if you do tip-toe through tulips that are like me and my friends, (I mean my friends, and me) as Tiny Tim and those Gold-Diggers seem to advocate, puh-lee-za be careful. We aren't as tough as we look. However, I do encourage you to tip-toe through the store-front of this blogger's web-site; there are some wonderful selections of greeting cards that are about more than communication.
I no longer actively produce event program covers, invitations and the types of greeting cards described here or on my website but arrangements might be able to be made under certain circumstances. My focus is on the Words In Our Beak book series, pictured below...
...whose stories are told from the point of view of Cam, a female cardinal, whose photo is on the cover of each book. Words In Our Beak's goal is to open readers to a simple understanding of the winged world and their environment. Set in my rooftop urban garden in New York City. Words In Our Beak is directed to children and adults who are curious about birds, and want to learn about them from a unique perspective. The books include hundreds of images of flora and fauna, links to movies, as well as to informative narratives that have been created by the author.
Please click here to go to my blog post that provides details as to where you can get these books.
Additionally, I have rendered some images from these books into other formats and they are available via Fine Art America (FAA). Some of my other photographs (Black & White Collection, Kaleidoscopic Images and the famous Mandarin duck who visited NYC) can also be found on my FAA pages.

Where to find friends
The best antidote to burnout is relationships
You've heard about burnout, and you know it sucks. You could tell me all about how it's damaging to you, your business, and your personal life. 🔥
And yet.
Despite the best intentions of 100s of articles teaching you how to recognize burnout, it's wayyyy more likely it'll sneak up and sucker punch you.
Even if you know the warning signs.
Even if you've been there a few times before.
Even if you meditate, exercise, and eat a plant-based, organic, essential-oil laced diet. 🌱
Why burnout is so sneaky 🙇 #
You don't go from great on Monday to toasted on Friday. Burnout happens slowly over weeks and months, then suddenly as you realize, "Oh shit. This is bad." 😐
Picture burnout as a spectrum. Any given day, you're somewhere along this:
Healthy habits push you toward the left. ⏪
Chronic stress and overwork push you toward the right. ⏩
There's also the less obvious compound factor. If you're consistently spending energy faster than you're replenishing it, you'll hit empty. Stress, like effort and finance, compounds over time.
So, is there anything I can do about it? 😨 #
Many founders reduce burnout with healthy habits like these:
Taking off weekends
Limiting screen time
We'd endorse all of those. But there's an even more powerful factor you can leverage, and a lot of people miss it. The best antidote to burnout is relationships. 👪
Dr. Maslach, who's been researching burnout for over 20 years, says relationships are the most effective way to combat burnout. In a NYT's article, she states, "...people's health, well-being, everything in life, is way better if you're connected with other people." 💥
Of course, you already know relationships aren't easy. They get harder as you get older, they take time, and it's difficult to find potential friends. Now, I can't fix either of the first two, but I can lend a few tips on the last one.
Important note: This does not apply to toxic relationships. Those induce burnout, not alleviate it. Avoid people who tear you down or encourage unhealthy thought patterns.
Get to know people who AREN'T in startups 👋 #
It's great to hang out with other founders, but friendships outside the startup circle provide perspective and much-needed breaks from #startuplife. To meet people in your city:
Look up local class offerings and take one on...anything. Pottery, sushi, coffee, welding. Whatever sounds interesting. 🍣
Pick up a hobby that has an active community. Here in Chattanooga, you could row, mountain bike, hike, and trail run. 🚴
If you're a gym person, attend the same classes each week. Get to know the other people in it. (Even if it's 5am.) 🏋
The coffee shop you've been in 3x this week? Talk with the baristas. Placing your order doesn't count. ☕
Volunteer for local cleanups, non-profits, or events. Serving alongside someone is a fast way to build a strong bond. 💪
Get a dog and frequent dog parks. Or a cat and whatever it is cat people do. 😼
Find or start a supper club. You have to eat anyways, right? 🥘
Start a happy hour group. My husband and I do this with 10 people every Tuesday. It's fostered the strongest local relationships we have. 🍻
Build a routine. If you're exercising, grocery shopping, and moving around town on a consistent schedule, you're more likely to run into the same people.
Get to know other founders as well 🚀 #
Sometimes, you need to talk with someone who "gets it." To engage other founders:
Reply to founders you respect or admire on Twitter. If you're not sure where to start, we listed some incredible people who inspire us in our latest blog post. 👀
- Approach a more experience founder and ask them to mentor you. Or, if you're more experienced, mentor someone else. 👥
- Attend local meetups and events, like 1MillionCups, CreativeMornings, or StartupGrind. 💫
- Join a shared workspace. Be intentional about introducing yourself and attending events. 👋
- Find a Slack group for entrepreneurs. If you click with someone, hop on a video call. (I call these virtual coffees, and I freaking love them.) 📹
- If you already know a founder or two, start a mastermind group. Schedule monthly updates where you check in with one another and provide mutual encouragement. 💬
- Easiest win on this whole list: hit reply and start a conversation with Andrew and I. 💭😁
You have options. If you start now, you can build the friendships you'll need during the hardest parts of your startup journey.
Like this? Sign up to get a new lesson every week.
We're pulling the best articles from founders we respect as well as drawing from our own lessons learned over thousands of hours building startups.

Read on to learn about a number of excellent schools offering associate's degrees in medical sonography. Schools offering Diagnostic Medical Sonography degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
How to Choose Between Degree Programs in Diagnostic Medical Sonography
Technicians working in medical sonography are often in the position to make a real difference in the lives of the patients that they help to diagnose and treat. Before working in this capacity, it is essential for any aspiring technician to master a diverse set of skills. These skills include knowledge of patient care and general clinical procedures, the ability to safely operate advanced diagnostic machinery, and a strong grasp of basic medical concepts and terminology.

Mumbai: SBI employees are the most punctual of all in India. They never miss out on the lunch time and sometimes the lunch times are spread throughout the day as they feel that lunch is what keeps them active and motivated for the whole day of work. SBI employees are seldom seen turning away customers saying that its lunchtime and they should visit after some time. And they look for the same skill in their future employees also.
Sanil Jain who had always been preparing for a bank job finally got an interview call from SBI HR team. He had the required qualifications but still was not so sure about clearing the interview. So he made an excuse that he is having lunch and the HR manager should call sometime later. It was a joyous moment for the HR manager, he had found the exact candidate he was looking for. He gave him a spot offer and asked Sanil to join immediately. He was sent an offer letter in the next 5 minutes and was given 50% more salary than the one mentioned in the job ad.
Sanil actually failed to turn up for a job on the next day when it was his joining day as he had already got late and thought of finishing lunch and then go to the office. He again got a call from the HR team saying that he has been selected as the employee of the month on the first day of his joining itself. There are some rumors that SBI employees are asking for increased lunch timings in the 8th pay commision. Employees are saying that an increase in salary is not a concern, but lunch timings should surely be increased.

Distribution Channel Plan & Management Templates
A firm can design any number of distribution channels they require. Alternate distribution channels can be distinguished by the number of intermediaries between producer and consumer. If there are no intermediaries then this is known as a zero-level distribution system or direct marketing. A level one channel has a single intermediary. This flow is typically from manufacturer to retailer to consumer, but may involve other types of intermediaries. In practice, distribution systems for perishable goods tend to be shorter – direct or single intermediary. In other cases, distribution systems can become quite complex involving many levels and different types of intermediaries. Managing these channels can be a challenge. This is why using proven alternate distibution channel plan templates is critically important.
The firm's marketing department needs to design the most suitable channels for the firm's products, then select appropriate channel members or intermediaries. The firm needs to train staff of intermediaries and motivate the intermediary to sell the firm's products. The firm should monitor the channel's performance over time and modify the channel to enhance performance. All these items are addressed in the distribution channel plan template.
Channel motivation
To motivate intermediaries the firm can use positive actions, such as offering higher margins to the intermediary, special deals, premiums and allowances for advertising or display. On the other hand, negative actions may be necessary, such as threatening to cut back on margin, or hold back delivery of product. Channel conflict can arise when one intermediary's actions prevent another intermediary from achieving their objectives. Vertical channel conflict occurs between the levels within a channel and horizontal channel conflict occurs between intermediaries at the same level within a channel.
