research directions
a new year begins, and work and research projects begin to coalesce or, in some cases, resurface. here's what's on the plate:
- a quantitative analysis of the determinants of formal association within developer groups on sourceforge.net, backed by survey and interview data. this should be an opportunity to deploy some interesting hazard rate models and, with the survey data, some new multiplex network analytic techniques. also talking again with berkman's law lab about supporting a field experiment on the same domain once the initial quantitative analysis is complete.
- experimental research on search behavior. we're in such early days on this that it's not really worth discussing at the moment but things should come to a head within the next 2 months.
- engineering sciences 147, which i'll be tf-ing. i'm excited about this because it will be one of a small handful at harvard that emphasises the process of innovation as well as the product and seriously grapples with the benefits and disadvantages of interdisciplinarity. if you're in the undergraduate college, think about taking this class. (and check out also this rather slick thing the lab produced for the class.)
- a theoretical treatment of diffusion in organizations, grounded in the empirical data i collected for a previous project on information efficiency in the north american haute cuisine organization.

When we conjure up impressions, ideas, and images of the engineer, we tend to think of an ingenious individual and Promethean spirit who overcomes huge obstacles to realise the most daring constructions. The tallest, the biggest, the largest, are the records set by the great engineers. The Isambard Kingdom Brunels, the Gustave Eiffels, become the heroes in our transgressions of Nature. In the public mind the engineer turns into the supreme technological legislator--a hard person of science--who makes the impossible work. This romantic notion of the engineer conspires to keep art and science separate. Engineering as a catalyst to inspire a creativity is not the generally held view. But in the Greek word 'techne' the unity of engineer-architect describes a sharing of design values, the diagram and calculation, the concept and proportion being viewed as cycles of noetic invention ... A cycle of invention and post rationalisation runs from one start to another--and in between are the judgements and criticisms one makes. What remains constant is the motivation to keep entering that creative dialogue between architecture and engineering, and the writing of new stories.cecil balmond, informal.

skillet pizza: this changes everything
if you are lucky enough to live in brooklyn, close to di fara, you have the opportunity to eat, daily if you so desire, a pizza that will cause you to jump up and down with pleasure during and after each bite: the tremendous heat (more than 700F) of a commercial pizza oven cooks the pie in just a couple of minutes. this short, intense burst of dry heat yields a pizza crust that is lightly charred on the underside and on the rim, moist and tender within, light and airy, chewy yet crisp, with sauce and toppings bubblingly-hot but not yet desiccated. if urban manhattan is not your domicile, and you have high standards for your pizza, you may be forced to go to great, often costly, lengths. fortunately, there is an inexpensive, easy, and incredibly effective solution to this problem. we tested it tonight (making it 8 runs in total) and can confirm that there is, indeed, jumping up and down with pleasure both during and after each bite, and sounds of pleasure also. detailed instructions for this pizza follow, after a brief discussion of process.
commercial ovens designed to cook a steady stream of pizza or bread have thick stone or refractory brickwork floors on which the cooking takes places; this floor is preheated to a high temperature and has sufficient thermal mass that placing wet dough on it reduces the temperature by only a small amount--the side effect is that whatever is on the oven floor also cooks extremely quickly. commercial ovens are also free of the thermostatic regulators that prevent most home ovens from reaching the high temperatures for which they are almost all designed (during a self-clean cycle, the temperature inside a home oven reaches north of 900F). clearly, of the many trials faced by the home cook hell-bent on the pizza of his (or her dreams), the two biggest are
- achieving a high-temperature cooking base to crisp the bottom of the pizza.
- achieving a high-temperature cooking environment to rapidly cook the top of the pizza.attempts to surmount these twin problems have included (but are not limited to*)
- buying or building a pizza oven much like a serious pizza restaurant would have. while solving both problems, this solution is not feasible for those with insufficient room (or sufficient floor bracing) for an 800-pound brick structure.
- using a pizza stone. these stoneware discs are usually 1/2" to 3/4" thick and take about 80 minutes to heat up fully (ie, for the thermal mass to reach saturation) in a very hot oven. this solves problem 1, but in a spectacularly energy-inefficient way.
- jerry-rigging home ovens to cook on the cleaning cycle. this involves subverting the automatic lock that usually engages when the cleaning cycle is turned on. if successful, a magnificent pizza. if unsuccessful in opening the oven and retrieving the pizza, ashes, a calcined pizza stone, and the smell of smoke pervading throughout. i know this from bitter experience as, apparently, does jeffrey steingarten.*
- investing in specialized home pizza-oven machines that surround the pie with ample heat. perfect, but at what price? also, i despise equipment that has only one purpose.
- does a broiler generate enough radiant heat and hot air to cook and lightly char a pizza top fast enough to not dry it out?
- can a preheated skillet and broiler be combined to produce pizza awesomeness?
instructions for a home pizza of stunning perfection:
- [4-6 days before you want pizza] prepare a good dough and allow it to mature. i can add nothing to jeff varasano's minutely-detailed recipe and instructions. shape into single serving balls of dough and allow to mature in the fridge.
- 60-80 minutes before you want your pizza, take the dough out. lightly coat each ball of dough in oil a separate bowl and leave to warm up to room temperature and double in size. do not neglect the oil, as it prevents the dough from adhering inconveniently and frustratingly to the bowl later on. if the dough appears laggardly (ie, if it isn't doing much of anything after 20-30 minutes), placing it in a gently-warmed oven helps accelerate the process: switch on the oven for a minute, then shut it off and open the door to vent hot air before placing the dough inside. do not use this dough until it has at least doubled in volume (this may be a smaller visual change than you expect; be vigilant and remember that volumetric expansion is less dramatic).
- prepare your sauces and toppings. have a spoon for every sauce and all the toppings grated, cut, and ready for extremely rapid deployment.
- prepare your broiler drawer by putting baking sheets or other heat-proof objects into the broiler drawer. the skillet will rest upon these objects, and the intent is to raise the skillet as close to the broiler heating element as possible without touching the element. you should be able to slide the skillet into the broiler easily. this is an important step that you should not neglect.
- when all is in readiness, turn on the broiler and begin preheating the dry, ungreased skillet on the stovetop on the highest flame setting. the skillet should preheat for 8-10 minutes to reach thermal saturation. as soon as you begin heating the skillet, lightly flour a wood cutting board or (better yet) a pizza peel. if you flour too assiduously, there will be flour pockets under the pizza when it is baked. these will burn and become bitter, while robbing your crust of the slightly charred patches that make it crisp, yet tender.
- [note that everything in step 6 should happen within 3-4 minutes, at most.] with about 4 minutes of skillet heating to go, begin to shape your pizza. scoop a ball of risen dough out of its bowl, taking care to deflate it as little as possible. holding it gently by an edge, allow gravity to stretch it out. move around the edge so that the ball of dough becomes a thin disk with a slightly thicker edge all around. speed here is of the essence. lay the disk on the floured board and shake the board from side to side to prevent the dough from sticking. immediately sauce it lightly, being careful not to deflate the dough by pressing down with your saucing spoon, then add toppings. speed, not perfection, is the objective: if you dally, the wet dough will stick to your board and be impossible to slide onto the hot skillet. because the pizza cooks so quickly, a small amount of sauce will remain moist and delightful and allow the crust underneath to aerate.
- slide the pizza onto the skillet. you may find that having another pair of hands to guide the leading edge of the pizza onto the skillet helps. there is no way to get this right without practice or to describe in words the experience of sliding a damp, soft, floppy disk of dough covered in liquids onto a smoking iron skillet. your first pizza is likely to be a mess, but you should bake it anyway. persevere, but clean the charred bits off the skillet before you do so. when your pizza is in the skillet, immediately take the skillet off the flame and place it in the preheated broiler with the handle of the skillet pointing as far to one side of the oven as possible. close the broiler door as quickly as possible. place a heatproof dish into the main oven compartment (not the broiler) to warm up.
- after 45 seconds, rotate the skillet so that the handle points to the opposite side of the oven. after 1 minute 30 seconds, pull out the pizza to see if the unsauced rim has begun to char lightly. if not, push the skillet back in and cook for another 20 seconds, then check again. if your broiler runs cool, your pizza may take up to 3 minutes to cook. when cooked, take the pizza out of the broiler and place it on the now-warm plate you put in the oven in step 7.

Another of the glowing appraisals of Montana's irrelevant GOP caucus in today's Missoulian offered two tidbits to think over:
Deschamps suspects one of the 104 people voting in Missoula's caucus Tuesday is actually a Democrat.
The names of new caucus members are checked against a national voter database operated by the Republican Party, Deschamps said. It shows which way a person tends to lean politically.
And in the War is peace; Freedom is slavery file, we find this quote from the Montana GOP executive director Chris Wilcox:
"It never occurred to me that a Democrat would want to sign up as a Republican precinct committeeman," he said. "Most Montanans respect the process and the duty of that process. If that's what happened, I think that speaks to the openness of this process and the big tent of the Republican Party."
That certainly seems like an open process, doesn't it? Consulting a national database to determine one's fitness for belonging to a party? I suspect that, despite the interesting theory that Ron Paul might do well in Montana, ideological purity tests like those employed by the Montana Republicans will prevent that.
I kind of like my party's theory: that we're better off letting the people speak than the unelected leaders of parties. Given the GOP's approach, why bother even having people show up on Tuesday?

Are You Making These Business Audits Mistakes?
There is no restriction on what often a taxpayer may be audited by the IRS. About 1 % of taxpayers face an interior Revenue provider (IRS) review of these specific income tax return every Business advisor year, based on a 2013 Fox company report. 15. Report barter and auction earnings: The fair market value you obtain through business barter transactions may indeed be taxable, even if you would not receive cash.
Taxpayers commonly overlook this page and lose their ability to appeal the audit findings within the IRS. Files do get lost, few people have perfect records and also the IRS does understand this. Basically, in the event that you take note of the incorrect information from types you obtain for earnings reporting, maybe you are audited.
Fastest reimbursement feasible: Fastest taxation reimbursement with e-file and direct deposit; taxation reimbursement time frames will vary. About our credentialed tax professionals: Live taxation advice via phone is roofed with Premier and Home & Business; charges make an application for Basic and Deluxe customers. Make certain entries on your own return complement with income reported to the IRS on information returns.
Out from the filing cabinet came a copy associated with the requested income tax return, 1099s, and revenue and loss statements for our organizations. That is how long the IRS has to audit most comes back. Taxpayers who make a lot more than $1 million annually and people in very low income brackets are likely become audited.
If the auditor finds proof of considerable amounts of unreported earnings, also it appears deliberate, he may call in the IRS criminal investigation team. They are going to warn you to not under-report earnings as the IRS gets the same W-2's and 1099's you will get as well as its computers check everything you report.
Regarding office and field audits, if you don't are adept at IRS procedures, it is highly recommended you will get an authorized taxation expert (enrolled agent, CPA, or lawyer) to represent you and advocate your tax return roles ahead of the IRS. Sole proprietors who file a Schedule C for each business get audited many.

Professional indemnity insurance – an overview
Working as a freelancer or a consultant can give you the freedom of being your own boss. However, that freedom brings with it personal and professional responsibilities. Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) may help you better manage any claim from your client that your work resulted in material damage to their business.
If you are in an occupation or profession where you give advice or make recommendations, you may find yourself in the position of having to defend yourself against claims that your negligence, errors or omissions caused your client to suffer financial losses.
PII may typically cover the cost of having to defend yourself against such allegations and will also cover damages awarded against you if the allegations are upheld in court.
This could include losses from:
- breaches of client confidentiality;
- loss of documents or data;
- libel, slander or defamation;
- any infringement, unintentionally, of intellectual property rights;
- dishonesty.
Not always mandatory
For many professions, professional indemnity insurance may be mandatory. Architects, surveyors, solicitors, accountants etc are just some examples.
Even if PII may be optional in your situation, it may still prove invaluable and not just if there is a dispute with a client.
In a highly competitive job market, having PII cover could give you the edge against another applicant for a position. A prospective client may see PII as a significant factor in your favour.
Your employees
If you have employees then your PII may typically cover them too for their negligence while carrying out work on your behalf, though do check, as not all professional indemnity insurance policies will offer this cover as standard.
Of course, if you have employees, you may find it valuable to consider what your position would be if they were to sue you for some reason. Some professional indemnity policies may also provide cover for cases such as these.
Public liability insurance
PII may also provide public liability cover.
Public liability insurance may help protect you against claims by third parties of bodily injury or property damage caused by you or your employees a result of your business activities.
Professional indemnity insurance may be optional as far as your particular occupation is concerned. It may, however, prove to be essential to help you operate in today's litigious business environment with some peace of mind.
Thinking ahead regarding Management Consultant's insurance
One of the required characteristics of a Management Consultant is the ability to 'look ahead'. Using that skill to think about Management Consultant's insurance might be worthwhile.
A management consultant (or consultancy) will typically put a lot of effort into building and maintaining a relationship with their client.
However successful that is, commercial relationships can sour in an instant and things may go from bad to worse.
In some circumstances, your client (or ex-client) may decide that your performance has led them to suffer material loss and they may expect to hold you accountable for that legally.
If you are sued under the auspices of professional liability, you may find yourself on the receiving end of claims for damages due to:
- negligence;
- misstatement or misrepresentation;
- unintentional infringement of intellectual property rights;
- the accidental misuse of confidential information;
- a loss of documents;
- etc.
If the case goes against you, then you may find yourself on the receiving end of very large awards and legal fees.
Typically the professional indemnity insurance component of management consultant's insurance may help protect you from such costs.
The public and your employees
If you employ staff, in some cases even if they're friends or family simply 'helping out', the law may demand that you have employers' liability insurance to protect their interests.
By contrast, there is typically no legal requirement to have public liability cover but it may be wise to do so. If a member of the public (e.g. someone on the client's site) is accidentally injured as a result of your actions, premises or property, they may sue you.
Once again, consultant's insurance typically may help you deal with meeting such claims.
Is consultant's insurance essential?
Excluding, possibly, employer's liability cover, typically you may be under no obligation to take out such insurance protection.
However, some potential clients may demand to see evidence of your management consultant's insurance before any contracts are awarded. It may be seen as a sign of professionalism, maturity and to some extent, risk reduction for them. By contrast, being unable to provide evidence that you have such cover may be negatively interpreted. Also, with some professions, having PII cover may be mandatory (for example, if you are an accountant).
Management consultant's professional indemnity insurance quotes
Obtaining management consultant's professional indemnity insurance quotes may be relatively easy once you understand why such cover may be required.
Your exposures and risks
Unfortunately, your relationship with your clients isn't something that can be safely forecast. Things can and do go wrong in terms of professional engagements and when they do, you may find that your client resorts quickly to legal process.
The costs of such actions against you may run easily into very large sums. Even if you win, you may be left with large residual legal fees.
Professional indemnity insurance (PII) typically may help you with some of the potential costs involved.
Cover provided
Typically, the cover available may help cover occurrences such as:
- accidental loss of your clients data or unintentionally breaching their confidentiality;
- product liability claims against you or claims for professional negligence / lack of duty of care;
- an unintentional infringement of intellectual property rights;
- etc.
It's worth noting that typically such insurance only operates in circumstances when your infringement or errors (if applicable) arise from circumstances other than intentional criminal activity.
Management consultant's professional indemnity insurance quotes may illustrate that the premium for such cover is relatively modest when seen against the potential risks you face and the costs you may incur if you are uninsured.
Some cover of this type may even include public liability injsurance protection – in case a member of the public that has suffered injury as a result of your activities, products or property, sues you.
Employers' liability insurance
In many situations, if you have staff working for you, the law may oblige you to provide employers' liability cover. This covers the costs arising from any accidents or injuries your staff may sustain in the course of their legitimate activities on your behalf.
Surprising as it may sound, the law does not define employees as being only those that have a contract of employment. In some cases, even people that are helping you on a voluntary basis may have the right to sue you for compensation.
Looking at what's available by way of employers' liability insurance cover when seeking management consultant's professional indemnity insurance quotes, might be a sensible move. Some policies may ask that you buy this as an add-on, so never assume that it is automatically included within your PII cover.
An IT contractor's insurance quote
If you're rushed off your feet then stopping to get an IT contractor's insurance quote may not seem like a top priority.
In fact, insurance often seems like something that can either be put off altogether or regarded as an unnecessary luxury.
Yet it is? Getting an IT contractor's insurance quote may only take a few minutes but it could save your business from destruction and your personal finances from ending up in someone else's pocket.
Whether you like it or not, your clients typically won't see you as a friend, confidante or a part of their establishment. If one of their own staff underperforms or runs into trouble, then their own contracts of employment plus the law, will dictate how they react.
By contrast, as an IT contractor, you do not have the protection of a formal contract of employment and the law of the land may offer you comparatively little protection against the consequences of your own mistakes, behaviours or sometimes sheer bad luck.
If an employee makes a mistake then he or she may expect to get a reprimand, further training or in very severe cases, perhaps a written warning. Just about the worst they can anticipate is sacking.
For you, the position is typically significantly different. You may be held legally and financially accountable for a whole range of problems that your client believes originates in your professional engagement. A 'forgive and forget' attitude may be unlikely in today's harsh business world.
If you're sued and subsequently lose a case for things such as:
• accidental breach of confidentiality;
• loss of your clients' data or documents;
• defamation;
• product liability;
then the results for you, financially speaking, may be catastrophic.
Getting an IT contractor's insurance quote that includes PII (Professional Indemnity Insurance) may be the first step on the road towards having insurance that may typically protect you from the worst of the financial risks should any of the above come to pass.
Taking the time to look closely at an IT contractor's insurance quote may open up your eyes to both your risks and, perhaps more importantly, what you can do to protect yourself against them.
What is IT consultant's insurance?
IT consultant's insurance is a form of cover aimed at protecting freelance professionals operating within the field of IT.
It's a form of Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) but with some added protection that may be included.
Some professional indemnity insurance policies may or may not contain financial protection against the consequences of:
- tax and VAT investigations;
- professional indemnity actions;
- employer's liability and public liability exposures.
TAX and VAT investigations
HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs) may require you to attend a meeting (or other form of informal, formal or legal hearings) in relation to your taxation affairs.
This may be expensive, particularly if you need to appoint an expert to handle your case and discussions with HMRC on your behalf.
In some cases, this component of IT consultant's insurance may typically help with components of those costs.
Professional indemnity claims
Your clients may, perhaps understandably, hold you to be accountable for the quality and integrity of the services you provide to them in return for your fee.
If something goes wrong and your client subsequently believes you have performed negligently, then they may take legal action against you for damages.
Examples of such claims may include things such as your unintentional infringement of intellectual property rights, product liability or an accidental breach of confidentiality etc.
The level of awards against you in this area may be staggeringly high – and you may also face legal costs even if you win.
Employers' and public liability insurance
These are typically two different domains of cover.
Depending upon your circumstances, if you have employees the law may demand that you have employers' liability cover insurance.
Public liability insurance cover is, as the name suggests, to help protect you against the costs you may incur if a member of the public suffers injury or damage as a result of your activities. In the case of some consultant's insurance this is purchased separately but some insurance providers may include it in their consultant's cover as standard.
Protecting your interests
You may be proud of your professional activities and the business you've built.
Taking steps to protect your financial and emotional investment might make sense and IT consultant's insurance may help you achieve that.

This is a repeat post from TTCAL:
Can any of you guys refer me to your RE? MY OB isn't giving me the answers I am looking for (or really any answers for that matter, and I think I need to start taking matters into my own hands!!!) I would be so grateful to any recomendations on an RE in central NJ (Old Bridge area). TIA.
Happy and Healthy to All
I went to the RMA of NJ after having a horrible experience with a S Jersey RE..I drove over 2 hours some days to appointments thats how much i LOVED them..They have many offices but i am not sure if any are near you..I saw Dr Azim but he only sees pts in Englewood i believe..I also saw Dr Hock and she is very nice as well..
Here is their website:
I live in Englishtown, and I use Dr Ziegler in Tinton Falls. He's right off of 66 by the new outlets. His office staff is amazing and his numbers are awesome.

Day 3 of the NRF Big Show kicked off with a killer interview between Macy's CEO Terry Lindgren and AMEX's long-time CEO Kenneth Chenault. The topic of conversation was Digital Transformation. A hot, if not way overplayed topic. Hot because there are numerous companies still getting their heads around it and overplayed because you can't enter a room at NRF without hearing someone talking about Omni, digital etc.
Why this talk was so good was that it was about the principles or values that underpin Chenault's view of transformation – be that digital or other.
Here they are:
1. Cannibalise: Amex started as a freight forwarding company but is now a payment company. 'We're focused on customer needs and a willingness to cannibalise ourselves…for example, 'one of our most successful businesses was 'Travellers Cheques' – generating 90% of the profits – it we had not cannibalised ourselves then we would not be in existence today'.
2. Let it go: ( I already have the Frozen song in my head). 'Innovate or die – if the only thing we're doing is simply facilitating a payment we become a commodity' said Chenault. 'I don't care if plastic goes away' – because Amex is bigger than plastic and has to move with the change. Don't rely on what made you famous.
3. Partner: 'The boundaries are coming down geophically and between businesses. All coming down together. What's important is making sure you're not looking at your particular business too narrowly. what are the capabilities and areas that can affect your business. The fact uber has simplified the payment process has had a huge impact on us. It's the ability to connect the dots (and partner)'.
4. Customer first: 'You have to go back to basics – what are the customers needs, what are the unique attributes of your business model that satisfy that. For us that's data – relationships with billions of customers – we're closing the loop between merchants and customers – we're putting a trillion dollars through that loop so the learnings we get give us the opportunity to evaluate the services we offer (and our merchants offer)'.
5. First principles reasoning: Made famous by Elon Musk – it's about boiling it down to why? not what. For example,'we're focused on understanding the impact of Bitcoin and protocols of bitcoin. What bitcoin is addressing? Well, it's addressing the replacement of cash – there's reason why credit cards came out in the first place. If you look at it from a cash flow point of view it's to defer payment. What are the basic needs it's fulfilling? We don't feel threatened by cryptocurrencies – what's important is the integrated model we have.'
6. Survival of the fittest: 'The greatest disruption is the convergence of online and offline and the inability to adapt to the change. Between 2014-2018, 75% of the growth in retail sales will be web influences but those sales will take place in brick and mortar stores. The changes in what motivates and influences customers on the purchase path is the holy grail – crucial that we have to understand the interplay between this convergence. The disruption will be intense… The reality is Steve Jobs redefined the retail experience (offline) because of his appreciation and knowledge of mobile and online'. He went on: 'People need to be more flexible and open – you can't adhere to a single model. That would be a mistake.'
A final quote to sum it up from Terry Lundgren:
'Many of us saw the digital transformation but we didn't see the speed at which it occurred'.

Is everyone ready for the weekend? Here it is bank holiday weekend, so I guess I won't have a lot of time for crafting, but I'll try ;)
Before the weekend starts, I have one more card for you.
I made this card for the Simon Says Stamp "All white challenge".
I started embossing the Large Fabric Background. Then I stamped the flower 3 times and colored each layer with distress inks (Tattered Rose and Fired Brick). You can appreciate it on the picture, but I painted the edges of the flower with distress ink sprayed with Perfect Pearls water. I stamped the leaves and colored them with Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint.
I added some ribbon and twine, used a tag for the sentiment and added some Glossy Accents to the center of the flower.
Hope you liked it and have a good weekend!!

What Happens To Superannuation In A Marriage Split
In circumstances of a breakdown of a relationship, superannuation, like other matrimonial assets, can be divided through an agreement or Court Order.
This means that a Court can make orders to 'split' a superannuation interest belonging to one party for the benefit of the other.
Laws relating splitting superannuation are complex; however, some of the key areas the Courts will consider in determining such matters are the length of the relationship and the value of the super and whether it was acquired before or during cohabitation or after separation. Therefore, it is often not automatically a simple 50/50 split.
It is worth considering that a superannuation split will not allow you to access your super any earlier than entitled, as this will be held until you reach your 'preservation age'.
Furthermore, any super awarded cannot be received as a cash payment as these entitlements must be split into a new superannuation account or deposited into an existing account.
Should you require advice on superannuation in relation to a Family Law matter, email email@example.com, call anytime on 0410 639 921 or get in contact with us online.

Sitting for too long can have many negative affects on your health. It increases risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease and even cancer. It can also cause you to slouch and have bad posture, which which can lead to pain in your back, neck and shoulders, and cut off circulation to your lower body.
So what can you do? You can't completely avoid sitting, but you can try to stand when possible and take regular breaks. Stretch or walk while chatting with a co-worker or talking on the phone. Even five minutes of stretching or walking around your office several times a day can improve your circulation and make you feel more energized.

It's a term coined by the late Dr. Albert Ellis. To me, it's means choosing to see whatever others think, feel, say or do as being understandable given what their life experiences have been. That doesn't mean we have to like, agree with or tolerate what they do. There are a lot of things others think, feel, say and do I don't agree with. I'm hearing a lot of it from neo-Nazis and white supremists lately. However, I strongly suspect that if any of us had walked a mile in their shoes, grown up in the environments they did, had the life experiences they did, we might very well have turned out the same way.
I like to use a formula to explain: NATURE + NURTURE = PERSONALITY. Where NATURE is all those constants about human development and psychology, NURTURE is a person's life experiences, and PERSONALITY is their pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It's like a + b = c, where a is a constant, and b is a variable. If a stays the same, and you change b, c changes. Likewise, a person's PERSONALITY is greatly influenced by their life experiences.
The opposite of UOA is what Dr. Ellis called Label and Damning. It's "blatant overgeneralization" – calling an apple bad simply because it has a bruise, or a barrel bad because it has a few bad apples. It's what neo-Nazis and white supremists do. It's what racists do. But it's what a lot of others do as well regarding those folks. It's human nature to attend more to differences between us and others, and to attach undue and unhelpful importance to those differences. I've always believed we're hardwired to do so from our distant past when it meant life or death more than it does today. But that's also what has always driven and sustained conflicts, and why it's irrational. It only makes peoples' lives worse than they need to be. That never makes sense. There's a lot of that going on today. The conflict in Charlottesville was an acute example of it. But it's generally true of our political and ideological discourse in this country. It has been forever, but it's worse than ever today, probably because of the effect of having more media than ever.
There's nothing wrong with tactfully challenging others. It's often important we do. Like when they have racist beliefs and expouse them openly. But we never can control what others think, feel, say or do, and labeling and damning those we disagree with won't get them to consider changing. They usually just irrationally double down on their beliefs in self-defense. Neo-Nazis have some quite irrational demands, i.e. that races should be separated. It's irrational because it's never going to happen, they don't have the power to make it happen, and it just inflames them to cling to such demands. That needs to be challenged, for all our sakes.
But we're never going to agree on everything, and if we're ever going to find a way to live side by side when we disagree, choosing to have UOA is step we need to take, even if others are unwilling. Perhaps if we do, they might be more likely to follow. The other route is to become "antifa", and that's just going to make an already bad situation even worse for all of us.
Damn all the "there's good in everybody" cowards. You're going to tell me about the good in Hitler? The good in Stalin? The good in James Fields? The good in the driver that killed 13 people and wounded many others in Barcelona? The good in those who killed three of our co-workers in Mississippi? The good in the lunatic president Trump? You want to reason with them, naturesmasterpieces? You want to "accept them"? Perhaps I should have given Michael Schwerner's wife that advice instead of holding her in my arms.
Get your goddam heads straight, fence straddlers.
Alberto, an ounce of prevention is always worth a pound or more of cure. Nowhere is that more true than in preventing all the examples you provided. In each case, the person in question started out as an infant and progressed through life like we all do. They may have had some dysfunctional thoughts, attitudes and beliefs along the way, and those may have fathered some aberrant behaviors. What I do know from being in education for over 40 years is that there were hundreds, maybe thousands of points where others had to decide what to think, feel, say or do in response to these people. And my guess is that it was handled like it's usually handled. Someone said or did something that didn't help, and only made the person in question worse; caused them to get defensive instead of reflective, to double down on their irrational thoughts or behavior rather than consider modifying them. IOW, they were labeled and damned rather than being greeted with Unconditional Other Acceptance. Do that hundreds and thousands of times and you have the recipe for a really disturbed individual. Choosing to have UOA doesn't make me or anyone else a coward. It makes us pragmatists. The other way isn't working. What's your solution? Imprison or kill off all those people with belief systems or behaviors you don't like? That sounds like Trump and Sessions, and the neo-Nazis and white Supremists. Isn't that what ISIS and the Taliban do? Joe Madison run an ad where a former white supremists says he's changed and is sorry for what he did. That didn't happen because someone got in his face, or kicked his ass. It happened because reason won out. I would never urge anyone to turn the other cheek. But if your only move is to label and damn those you disagree with, and get in their face like some did in Charlottesville, you're going to have more Charlottesville in the future.
BTW, my head is quite straight, and choosing to have UOA is not straddling the fence. It's an affirmative choice I make. Like Einstein said, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insane. He also said you can't solve a problem with the same thinking that caused it. Then there was my wrestling coach who once broke up a fight I was in and said, "Son, don't ever get into a fight unless you expect to get hurt". I'll fight if I have to, but I'll do everything I can to avoid one first, for my sake and the sake of others.
More of the old I'm okay, your okay BS?
And you claim you've been a teacher for how long ? Forty years you say.
If that's true then you should be ashamed of yourself, what you teach? Freshman P.E? What, did everyone in your classes get a participation medal for showing up?
How do you think we've come to the point we are now and probably headed into worse? Because most of white america has been walking around with their heads up their self-indulged collective asses babbling about unconditional acceptance for hundreds of years. And you've added your two cents worth in forty years to that blindness. Congratulations!
You should be ashamed of yourself.

From Therapy's Lenny Bruce: Get Over It! Stop Whining!

Actually, it's not "I'm okay, you're okay". That's transactional analysis. UOA comes from Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy or REBT.
RE: being ashamed of myself, luckily, I have USA or Unconditional Self-Acceptance, so shame won't be an issue.
I agree with one thing though, millions of Americans have had their heads up their asses for a long time, and still do, and do a lot of nonsensical babbling, and still are. We just disagree on what that entails.
"In another comment you referenced Freud". Doubt it.
What we're really witnessing is irrational thinking - thinking in ways that makes ones own life worse and the lives of others as well. So what's your plan to stamp our irrational thinking? Make it illegal? Tried prohibition before for drinking. The results would be the same for thinking.
When the counter protestors were shouting at the neo-Nazis, what reaction did you see? Did they get reflective and contemplate the error of their ways? That's not how it works.
Did getting physical with them make them go back home and rethink what they believe?
So what's your plan?
In the end, we only ever control what we think, feel, say or do. We never control what others do. Some think, talk and act like they do, but they don't. And trying to control what others think, feel, say and do typically just cause quite the opposite of the desired effect.
So what's your plan? How are you going to eradicate such thinking?
My way, I'll get to have a conversation with others, and get the chance to challenge them tactfully but assertively. It may or may not work, but it's better than the alternatives others contemplate or suggest.
Quote naturesmasterpieces:
"In another comment you referenced Freud". Doubt it.

Yes, someone else referenced Freud - my error and please accept my apology.
It is possible, in many instances, to control what others do. The German people, to their shame, did not control Hitler although they could have. The u.S.A.'s people could control (and could have controlled) Trump just as they ultimately controlled Nixon. Control of others, under law, is one - a major - responsibility of elected, hired and appointed government officials. Laws themselves surely have control of others as a primary purpose. Trump, in this instance, gave encouragement and effective permission to the white supremists to parade in Charlottesville. He exercised control of a sort. The Charlottesville police, had they acted in a timely and appropriate manner, might have - almost certainly could have - controlled certain events and prevented much of the violence. Their primary purpose surely was crowd control. The u.S.A. could have controlled, could still control others and prevent, much of the sickness, death and suffering that daily occurs in Yemen by failing to supply the Saudis with the lethal means.
I don't need to go on. Decent people will understand.
Alberto, technically, you don't control others. You can control what you say or do in ways that can influence them into complying, but ultimately, no one can make another person think, feel, say or do anything. Congress could have impeached Nixon, but they couldn't have made him resign. He chose to resign rather than face the consequences. Thoughts and behavior are always the product of choices made deep in someone's brain - the product of signals generated within specific neurons. How could anyone really control what neurons fire in someone's brain. Many choices people make are quite automatic from practice and rehearsal. That can be a good or bad thing depending on what thoughts and behavior they give rise to. The fact that so many choices are automatic is why so many people don't see that they have choices, including as to how they want to feel (that's one most people really miss). It's why many believe others are controlling them, but that's not how it really works. We can try to influence the way others make such choices, but no one can get inside someone's head and actually control how they make such choices. That's actually a good thing, and can be very empowering if people are taught how to use it to their advantage. For example, I teach kids to respond to bullying with "You can think, feel, say or do whatevver you want to about me. That's YOUR choice. But it's MY choice how I look at myself, and how I feel about myself. And you don't get to make that choice for me, unless I let you. And I choose not to". Eleanor Roosevelt once said "No one can make you feel bad about yourself without your consent". She was right. Dr. Victor Frankl, a holocaust survivor said, "Everything can be taken from us but the last of human freedoms. To choose one's own attitude in any given set of circumstances - to choose one's own way". He was right too. That said, hearing the same thing over and over again has the same effect as repeating or rehearsing a thought. It creates a "rut" in someone's brain that's easy to slip into, and hard to stay out of and get out of, just like real ruts on dirt roads. People often succumb to repetition - we call it brainwashing. Lots of that going on, i.e. Fox News listeners. But no one can ever really control what others think, feel, say or do. I could put a gun to someone's head and threaten to blow their brains out and they could still say "F--- you!". Then I have a choice whether to follow through, or not. If they comply, it's technically because they choose to comply rather than risk the consequences. Unfortunately, because people do sometimes comply, others get the false impression that they were in control. Not really.
If the patient has cancer you cut it out,, irradicated any traces of it and then throw poison at it in case theres any cells hiding in the shadows.And likewise you don't screw around with talking to evil. You give no space for it to grow. There is no pacts of peace to be made, you give no quarter.
Once again, america has had for 300 and stilling counting years an over abundance of your wonderful REBT.
Take it to the bank. No justice, no peace.
Actually, REBT was developed in the early 1950's.
So what's your plan to eradicate this "cancer" or "evil" and make sure it never comes back? How you going to do it? Imprison or kill every person who has such beliefs, and expounds on them publicly? Tough talk is cheap.
Human beings have tried to eradicate thoughts and behavior they haven't liked in the kind of ways you're advocating, at the family, societal, and international level. And it's never worked, and more often than not just exacerbated the beliefs and behaviors in those who engage in them. Because you never have control over how people are going to think or behave after you do things to them, and they often get worse.
You can't eradicate thoughts by banning them, shaming people, or locking them up. Was South Africa able to stop Mandela's beliefs? Our best hope is always going to be to challenge them tactfully but assertively. And part of making that possible is allowing them to surface rather than go underground. So is having and demonstrating UOA.
The hate beliefs and speech we're seeing today are not new, and didn't go away, and then come back. They've always been there, festering beneath the surface. The fact that they have surfaced may be the best thing that has happened, and we may owe Trump for encouraging it to. It's like the immune response in our bodies. Some viruses and cancers never get detected by our immune response until it's too late. The more detectable they are by the body, the better immune response the body can mount. That's analogous to what will happen here. As hate beliefs and speech become more public, populations will respond with the equivalent of a robust immune response. Of course, if we don't address the underlying causes, or contributing factors that allow such beliefs to get a foothold, or that foster their growth, there will always be "illness". i.e. poverty.
Ellis didn't invent anything. At best he codified a coping system. It's pretty much the same coping machinism most people seem to naturally fall to in an attempt to buffer themselves against all the injustices they personally suffer daily as well as all the injustices they witness writ both large and small all around them. And I say almost naturally because it's not natural at all but a rewiring that starts at a very young age both at home and within the institutional structure. Matters of wrong become a mere differing of opinions, injustice becomes a back burner issue to be debated farther on down the road and self-reflection about any complicity becomes non-existant because, after all, one has to go along to get along.......that's just the way it is.
Do I have the idea teach?

Well do tell!
Did you just tumble to that? Have you ever taught any of that in your classes? And just what kind of addressing have you put into the underlying causes? And when you speak of poverty, of what sort might that be?
rs allen: you're right, Ellis didn't INVENT anything. It's like that saying "Genius is looking atg what everyone else has looked at, and seeing what no one else has seen". He borrowed much of what he developed from ancient philosophers. Epictetus I believe was one of his favorites - a stoic philosopher. That's why REBT can be so effective. It's really just what some people already get on their own, and something anyone can learn and adopt for themselves.
Actually, what I taught in my classes was the "tools" from REBT, toward teaching kids to better manage what goes on inside their own head in response to their life events, be it poverty or anything else. Helping them do that is one of the most important things any of us could teach kids in our lives, and might even be one of their best shots at getting past poverty early in their lives - poverty that often does understandably otherwise take a toll on kids. But we can never do it for them. It's something only they can do for themselves. However, we can get pretty good at showing them the way, and providing guided practice.
it's not natural at all but a rewiring that starts at a young age both at home and WITHIN the institutional structure. Matters of wrong become a mere differing of opinions, injustices become a back burner issue to be debated farther on down the road and self-reflection about any complicity becomes non-existant because, after all, one has to go along to get along.......that's just the way it is. Be a good corprate citizen or be a loser.
Sorry jack, you speak of banks accounts while I speak about the povery of spirit and soul.
Perhaps there wouldn't be so many heads that needed to be rewired and screwed back on if from the beginning children were taught real history instead of a whitewashed fairy tale, if in social studies they were taught the truth instead of some utopian paradise, if in civics they were taught the honest story of how government is done and decided; then perhaps instead of the huge disconnect between what they think they know as it's been demanded they regurgitate and what the world actually is and experienced around them after they walk out of the class room every day they wouldn't need any interdiction at all.
You want to be a teach? Try that little idea instead being a snake oil salesman.
Irrational numbers:
Social Justice Quiz 2017: Children – Ten Questions by Bill Quigley
Question One. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that 14.8 percent or 46 million people are living in poverty in the US. How many of those people living in poverty are children?
A. 4 million
B. 8 million
C. 12 million
D. 14 million
Question Two. What percentage of children live in a poor family in the US?
A. 5 percent
B. 10 percent
C. 15 percent
D. 20 percent
Question Three. How does poverty rate compare for children under 18 and people over 65?
A. People over 65 are twice as likely to be poor compared to children.
B. The poverty rate of people over 65 is about the same as that for children.
C. Children are more than twice as likely to be poor as people over 65.
Question Four. On any given night, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reports over half a million people are homeless in the US. How many of those are children?
Question Five. On any given night, how many children are in foster care?
Question Six. On any given night, how many children are incarcerated?
Question Seven. About 1,900 children die of cancer each year. How many die from gun injuries?
Question Eight. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly Food Stamps) helps about 20 million children each month for an annual cost of about $30 billion for the children each year. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children under 5 (WIC) provides food and healthcare referrals to 8 million people, for an annual budget of about $6 billion. The National School Lunch program feeds about 30 million children each school day and the School Breakfast Program feeds 14 million as well for an annual budget of about $16 billion.

First one then the other...
We've reached that time in our lives where we are slowly becoming surplus to requirements as parents. Daughter-of-Furtheron has gone off on her school watersports trip to Spain - apparently they will be working very hard!
She was so excited yesterday as we drove her down to the school and in a noisy dance studio where all the girls with families in tow were gathering the one voice you could hear above all others was... yes Daughter-of-Furtheron! They all got pink t-shirts to wear, which she is proudly showing off in this picture - this is her cool pose by the way! As I write this she be nearly at the place in Spain they are going to after an overnight ferry and coach trip down through France.
As we waved goodbye to her after she'd got on the coach Mrs F was tearful and I was my usual sympathetic self :-) Still it is another milestone. She is back in a weeks time for a few days then off to Turkey with her best pal's family for another holiday! Honestly my kids have it easy... in my day etc. etc. etc.
My son is off to visit his girlfriend at the weekend as well up in North Wales and he'll be going to see Black Country Communion too whilst away lucky thing. So we'll be all alone in the house, just the two of us, no kids... what the hell will we talk about?! This will be preparation for the time not too far away now when we'll no doubt be permanently on our own. Or will we? Son-of-Furtheron has two more years at uni - I know it seems he is on the longest course ever but he is doing a masters in Physics with Space Science and I suppose that does take a bit of learning! I doubt he'll return to the family home once he is done there, his plan is to continue as a PhD student! I don't think he is ever likely to consider a job as an option :-)
One job I have to do this weekend is strip off the wallpaper on the "feature wall" in daughters bedroom so that Mrs F and Son-of-Furtheron can get on with the decorating whilst she is in Turkey. She'll have to put up with a bit of a building site for the few days in between. I've also got to find some time to fit in the wallpaper hanging as that is definitely my job, anyway hopefully it'll all be done before she is back. Once that is done there is little left in the house not recently redecorated - our bedroom out of the major rooms I think!

Ohhh yesss, seems we are in the same life boat and it is sinking fast.ReplyDelete
Such a milestone to see the kiddies grow up and leave the nest so-to-speak, but it is hard when you realize that you are left. Alone.
Enjoy this precious time together, know that they are safe and having the time of their lives, and live a little too.
It'll be over before you know it.
"You see much more of your children once they leave home."ReplyDelete
I hope she has the time of her life, and good luck with the decorating - I think you got the raw end of the deal there... ;-)
Lucky her! It sounds like her summer will be a blast!ReplyDelete
Funny, when I first glanced at her picture, I thought how much she looks like a grown up Gabby! (my daughter).
Enjoy your time to yourselves. :)
Parents arrive at 'destination surplus' around the child's age of 16 or so...apart from financial aid of course..;-)ReplyDelete
Jacqui is in the depths of the Madagascan jungle as I write...since leaving for 'Base Camp II' they only have an emergency radio until next Thursday so I have no idea whether she's ok or not.
The kids live life and we crap ourselves....as we pay for them to live it!....And why not?...We love em eh?
I would say your daughter is inordinantly pretty but at my age I'd better not in case I get arrested...;-)
Cheers old bean and let's have a beer or three soon!!!
We have one of those perpetual students too. YS is hoping to begin a Ph.D. in autumn but not in Swansea! So at least we will get the house to ourselves to rattle around in on our own ...ReplyDelete
I bet D-o-F has a wonderful sleepless time!

A sentimental piece
There's no better way to celebrate friendship then matching jewellery. Jewellery is such a sentimental piece since it's so personal and each piece has a story to tell. For us this particular piece represents our friendship. It's funny how we actually both selected the same bracelet piece without knowing!
The original friendship bracelet are usually hand-made from thread and they can be in all different style and patterns. The two of us took a modern approach to this by selecting a matching silver sterling silver bracelet with two arrows. Silver is always timeless and I can see the two of us wearing this for a while.
What would your friendship jewellery piece be? We're excited to know!

Scientists from the John Hopkins University in America have developed a blood test, called CancerSEEK, which can detect 8 types of cancer. In a study published in the journal Science, 1005 patients with cancer that had not spread were given the blood test, it was able to detect around 70% of the cancers. The test detected 33% of breast cancers, 60% of colon and lung cancers, 69-98% of pancreatic, stomach and esophageal cancers and all of the ovarian and liver cancers. Ovarian and pancreatic cancers may grow for some time before people are aware of any symptoms so early detection could improve the survival rate.
The test looks for mutations in 16 genes and 8 proteins that are commonly elevated in cancer sufferers.
Dr Tomasetti from John Hopkins University told the BBC " Finding tumours when they can still be surgically removed would be a "a night and day difference" for survival, this field of early detection is critical and the results are very exciting, I think this can have an enormous impact on cancer mortality. We envision a blood test we could use once a year".
De Gert Attard, from the Centre for Evolution and Cancer at the Institute of Cancer Research London told the BBC "This is of massive potential, I'm enormously excited, this is the Holy Grail, a blood test to diagnose cancer without all the other procedures like scans or colonoscopy."
The test is predicted to cost less than $500, approximately £360.
The test is nowhere near ready for use yet and more work needs to be carried out to assess the effectiveness of detecting early stage cancers. The test is now being trialled on the general population in people who have not been diagnosed with cancer.

At market close on March 11th, despite a rally this week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 16% below its level on the Friday before Mr Obama took office. At this point in Roosevelt's presidency, 54 days in, it was up 35%.
In truth, he had long promised to spend more on health care and alternative energy and to raise taxes on the rich, so little in the budget should have surprised investors.
A bigger dent to confidence comes from Mr Obama's style, not his substance. His many backers on Wall Street had taken his conciliatory manner and selection of centrist economic advisers as evidence that he would govern moderately despite, as a senator, having consistently voted on the left. They have been taken aback by his combative tone.
But the Obamabears' biggest fear is that Mr Obama's remedies are not up to the task of fixing America's deepening recession.
Mr. Geithner's own efficacy has been hamstrung by the fact he remains his department's only Senate-confirmed official: 17 other top Treasury jobs requiring Senate approval remain vacant. In 2007 the Treasury website listed 120-odd officials, from Hank Paulson, the then treasury secretary, down. The current version of the same webpage lists just one: Mr Geithner.
All this has left foreign officials and domestic bankers frustrated at the lack of consultation from the Treasury.
Whatever the cause, the strain on the Treasury is encouraging the view that Mr Obama's agenda is being driven by political advisers and Congressmen, both more attuned to voter's rage than to market confidence.Clearly The Economist's confidence in Obama continues to erode, along with that of many others who supported him while believing he was someone very different than anyone with any wisdom would have understood him to be. They close with a quote from a former Bill Clinton aide who advised Obama to focus on the financial crisis or risk the loss of confidence Jimmy Carter suffered. Meanwhile, the market is still down 40% since it became fairly clear that Obama was going to win the presidential election in September 2008.

Industry: Restaurant
Annoyed By: Over Easy - 56 Yonge St. Hotel Victoria
I've been here a few times since I live in the area & at best it was average; but breakfast is breakfast and it's hard to screw up an egg. Or so I thought.
Egg shells in my eggs benedict, a rude manager & a waiter who ignored us. If the manager Kyle treats his staff as badly as his customers I understand why the food & the service is so bad. Condescending, to rude, to overtly insulting is this guys M.O. - typical spoiled kid who doesn't care because it was handed to him (apparently this is a family run business).
I have no family in the city, so I decided to treat myself to brunch for Easter. After biting into eggshells, Kyle was sarcastic, accused me of basically just trying to get a free meal - I had eaten 3 bites, literally, so how is that a meal exactly? I put the eggshells on my plate & pointed them out to my waiter when he finally came for the plate. I had considered ordering the soup instead but after the terrible service and insulting behaviour I just wanted to get out of there. After the eggs, & having a clear line of sight into the kitchen to see how the staff didn't seem to care about what they were serving, I just wanted to leave & go somewhere else. My salad - which I could not eat - was some leaves - nothing to make it a salad - with dried oregano in olive oil that they call a dressing.
After trying to resolve this issue politely I ended up paying $15 for coffee & a hot chocolate, being accused of being a thief (EVEN THOUGH I PAID $15 FOR COFFEE!) and getting out of there just before bursting into tears. So in the end, they are the thieves, literally - $15 for a cup of coffee. Happy F-ing Easter Over Easy!
UPDATE: I called the owner of this chain at the 208 Bloor St. location to tell him of my experience at one of his restaurants - which was very difficult amidst his constant interruptions. He prefers to listen to himself talk. After speaking with his staff (or relative, as the case is) his response was "We don't want customers like you." No problem Glenn(?), I'll never go back & I will tell this story for years anytime the subject of a breakfast in Toronto comes up.
I guess the lesson learned here is if there are eggshells in your food, just keep quiet and eat it. Better to have only bad food then to have bad food & abuse from hack restaurateurs.
