This was the third attempt to send a sample-return spacecraft to the Moon (after failures in June and July 1969). On this attempt, the spacecraft successfully reached Earth orbit but failed to inject itself on a translunar trajectory.
Later investigation indicated that the Blok D upper stage had failed to fire a second time for translunar injection because of a problem with a fuel-injection valve that had become stuck during the first firing of the Blok D (for Earth orbital insertion). As a result, all the liquid oxygen in the Blok D was depleted. The Soviet press named the vehicle Kosmos 300 without alluding to its lunar goal. The payload's orbit decayed about four days after launch.

The wealthy New York private equity company planning to buy Cedar Fair wants everyone to know it loves roller coasters.
Apollo Management, which has said almost nothing publicly about its offer to acquire Cedar Fair, issued a statement Monday assuring customers at Cedar Point and other Cedar Fair amusement parks that it respects the parks.
"We look forward to working closely with Cedar Fair's talented management team and employees to foster continued growth and enhance the company's reputation as a leading operator of family amusement parks," the company said in its two-sentence statement. "Apollo is firmly committed to Cedar Fair's amusement parks and making them growth engines for their communities while preserving each park's unique local heritage."
The company's spokeswoman had nothing to add, but Stacy Frole, Cedar Fair's director of investor relations, noted Monday that the statement fits with earlier promises Apollo would concentrate on refinancing Cedar Fair's debt but leave Cedar Fair CEO Dick Kinzel and his management team in charge of running the amusement park chain.
"Obviously, we have a lot of local customers who appreciate the uniqueness of our own home park," Frole said.
Frole also provided additional information on Cedar Fair's "go shop" period, the 40-day period in which Cedar Fair is allowed to seek other offers to find out if unitholders can obtain a better deal. The go-shop period expires Jan. 25.
Cedar Fair hasn't commented on its discussions with other possible suitors, but Frole said if Cedar Fair received a better offer, it would make that offer public.
"If we were to receive a superior proposal, we would make that announcement," Frole said.
Frole said Cedar Fair's financial advisors, Rothschild Inc. and Guggenheim Securities, are in charge of contacting other companies about a possible offer.
"We wouldn't comment on who we have spoken to," she said.
Cedar Fair's units have traded for the last few days above the $11.50 Apollo has offered to unitholders. It closed Monday at $11.98 per unit.

Volquest.com is reporting that Tee Martin has turned down the offer to join Butch Jones' coaching staff at UT. He will remain at the University of Southern California.
Previous story
He has a street named for him on Tennessee's campus, but Tee Martin hasn't decided yet if he'll call Knoxville home again.
Martin told Volquest.com that he had a good meeting with new head coach Butch Jones, but that he intended to fly back to Los Angeles and meet with current boss Lane Kiffin before he made a decision.
"It was good to meet with coach Jones," Martin said. "It's a great opportunity to come back home, but I've not made my decision. I'm going to go back to L.A. tomorrow morning and talk with Lane and then make my decision."
Martin was the quarterback of Tennessee's 1998 BCS National Championship team, setting an SEC record for consecutive passes completed along the way.
He developed a reputation as a recruiter while an assistant coach at Kentucky before joining Lane Kiffin's staff at USC last season.

Normally ごめんなさい is translated as sorry or excuse me, but that seems like a translation for non-native speakers. In the same way, しつれいします can also be translated as excuse me or pardon me. But it really means "I'm being rude". So... what does ごめん really mean?

Japanese Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Japanese language. It's 100% free, no registration required.
めん(免) in ごめん(御免) means 'forgiveness/to forgive', like in the verb '免ずる/免じる' (which I think is the literary or archaic form of '許す'). なさい makes it imperative, so ご免なさい literally means 'Please forgive (me)', like 免じてください/許してください.

In early June, a line in Mike Nines' email signature read "Head Football Coach, Leonardtown High School" because, at the time, he was heading into his fourth year as head man of the program.
But just two weeks ago, he and his wife Ashley were offered teaching jobs at the same Pennsylvania high school.
Thus, Nines has stepped down as Leonardtown head football coach and his wife followed suit as she stepped away from the Great Mills High School girls head soccer coach position.
"My wife and I both got jobs in Pennsylvania where we're closer to our families, and because of that, it was a family decision," Nines said.
Now, that email signature will no longer have the words "Leonardtown High School" in it.
"It was extremely hard," Mike Nines said. "It's still really hard. I am all in it for the kids. We have a great team coming back with a bunch of really good kids, and it is difficult to leave them."
Nines has spent five years within the Leonardtown program, two as an assistant and three as head coach, but it was his last year as head coach that will go down as perhaps the most memorable.
He was named The Enterprise 2012 All-County Co-Coach of the Year after leading his team to a 5-5 record and the St. Mary's County football championship.
The season was made memorable after a 44-21 victory Sept. 28 over Chopticon, which ended an 18-year losing streak to the Braves.
Nines admitted that he will have two long-lasting memories as he leaves the Leonardtown program, the kids who have come through and that late-September victory.
"I'd say the memory that I will always have is ending the Chopticon run and beating them [last] year," he said. "Knowing that the kids worked so hard and were so happy after the fact is going to be one that sticks out of my mind for a long time."
As Nines was promoted to the head coaching spot from his assistant position, one of his assistants will do the same. James Klenk will be the new head man of the Raiders football team.
"I've worked with him and he has been on my staff for years, and I know they are going to do great in the future. That makes me feel better," Nines said.
After informing his staff and Leonardtown athletic director Randy Tira of his decision, Nines admitted that the word begin to spread, which left him the task of telling one more group of people, his players.
"I pulled my kids in two weeks ago in a weightlifting session and it was hard and emotional, but they know what is expected of them," Nines said. "They are going to persevere with or without me, and I am irrelevant. It's all about them. It was tough, but it was OK.
"I feel like I helped the kids achieve what they achieved. Taking care of them and watching them mature and grow and understand what it takes to be a football player was a rewarding experience for myself."
Nines admitted that he has been offered coaching jobs in Pennsylvania and is weighing his options.
"My heart is still down at Leonardtown, so I don't know if I can coach anywhere else [this] year," he said.
His wife also is weighing options, but Nines believes that she may take a year off, too. The Hornets were 2-11 overall in Ashley's final season in 2012, losing in the first round of the Class 4A East Region playoffs.
"Our entire married life, we have been head coaches," Mike Nines said. "I think we may just take a season off and be a couple. There are options for both of us, but I think we are of the mindset that we're both going to take a season off."

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This panoramic photograph of Philadelphia, was taken
by James Blakeway. It features a spectacular twilight view of downtown
Philadelphia, a city known for having much significance in United States
history. The Quakers, Philadelphia's first settlers, arrived in 1681 and
prospered in trade and commerce, making the city the leading port in the
colonies. The first and second Continental Congress convened here, and
Philadelphia became the headquarters of the revolution. The city continued
to be the main seat of the new federal government until 1800. Centered
in the photograph is City Hall with its clock and statue of William Penn.

A man died, and two other people were injured in a single-vehicle crash Friday in La Plata.
The Charles County Sheriff's Office reported that at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18, Gabriel William Maxwell, 22, of Waldorf was driving a Chevy Colorado south on Turkey Hill Road when he lost control of the pickup truck at a curve and struck a tree.
Maxwell was pronounced dead on the scene.
Sheriff's office spokeswoman Diane Richardson said there were two passengers in the truck at the time of the crash.
A 17-year-old boy from Hughesville and Anthony Hyshaw, 19, of Waldorf were flown to a hospital.
Richardson said the 17-year-old was in critical condition, and it appeared Hyshaw had injuries that were not life-threatening.
The cause of the accident is under investigation, she said.
She said it appeared Maxwell and Hyshaw were wearing seatbelts, and the 17-year-old was not.
Maxwell's mother, Lynn Maxwell, said, "He was our world. He was our joy."
Lynn Maxwell said her son loved music and was a good guitarist.
Maxwell's friend Stephanie Chase said Maxwell was "one of the most amazing people you'll ever meet in your life."
Chase, of Nanjemoy, said Maxwell's family and friends meant a lot to him and that he "would give you the shirt off his back."
Richardson said officers are investigating whether speed and/or alcohol were factors in the crash.

Bill Belichick on "putting the tape on"
It's far too easy to play armchair coach/QB. Besides, didn't Sherman call the plays? Philbin is giving his coordinators full license to gameplay.
I didn't read through all these posts but let me just say that when you have a 3rd and one, or 4th and one, you have to do much better job. I also don't understand why we threw it on 3rd and 10 with about two minutes left in the game, only to get stopped two yards short, as well as killing the clock. We lost a couple close games, and fortunately we won a close one today, but we almost gave it away again. The play calling has to get better. I also thought the refs were horrible. I can't remember who got the sideline fumble (Burfict) but it looked like he never had control of it. The punt that was stopped at the one foot line also crossed the goal line and the Bengal player's foot hit the end zone line. We probably had FIVE big calls go against us. BUT....it's a WIN so F the refs and the Bengals.
Please make it stop. The insanity on this board is borderline psychotic! You guys must only watch dolphins games, seriously!
For the record of where I stand on Joe Philbin:
1. As stated earlier in this thread, I think Joe Philbin has done a tremendous job Monday through Saturday get his team ready for Sunday. The game plans and helping his team recover from tough losses have been awesome to see.
2. Joe and his staff have done a lot with rookie QB, questionable weapons/secondary and a team with limited depth.
3. I DO think that Joe Philbin has stumbled some in some game management issues in the past three weeks. All I have said and asked is that I hope that he improves in that area. To think that Philbin is coaching like a veteran on game day is simply not the case. He is rookie HC that like others on this team is trying to find their way.
These are my positions. Any poster that states otherwise is either not reading my posts or is simply piling on.

Comments about Vinyl Lace Tablecloth:
I never got to use the tablecloth because when I received it the tablecloth had turned yellow. I called and was sent a replacement and the replacement was yellow too. It indicates to me that you have had these tablecloths for a long time (long enough for them to turn yellow).
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pretty but won't last

This table cloth is attractive, it looks like real lace. However, there are a lot of real holes that allow food and drink underneath to the table. I wanted to use these for multiple uses, this will not be possible as they are so thin, they will tear quickly.
Just beautiful!

I use this tablecloth to cover my dining room table all the time. When I have company, I just put a cloth tablecloth on top of it.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

Tore right out of package
By Decoratin Abby
from Hagerstown MD
Looks like real lace. Didnt realize was so flimsy. Ripped taking out of package. Good looking design. Just need to be so gentle. Tried taping from back but didnt work.
These table clothes are wonderful.

We use these table cloths at church. They spruce up the entire room. Looks great.
Torn after 1 week
By Kathi
from Indianapolis
Have had it on our dining room table for 1 week and it already has a tear in it at the corner of the table. We haven't even eaten at the table yet and it's already torn. Nice to look at but not functional or durable.
Great, until you unwrap it!
By Weeblewoman
from Ringgold, GA
I have yet to return this item, if they will even take it back.. My niece and I were putting it on the table Christmas Eve and as I unfolded/unstuck it from itself, I put my hand right through it. I would think I was too rough, but I have had 3 others of this type cover and never had a problem like this. The others just got old and dingy. It was very... stiff and unyielding..almost like it was dried out.
By June
from Sevierville, TN
I was so delighted with the looks of the tablecloth as it looks like fine crocheted lace. One wouldn't know it's vinyl until they touched it. However, it does stain too easily, espcially foods like tomato sauce or beets. I cannot get the stains out completely and I don't know if it is machine washable. I will try washing it and see what happens. But it does add an elegant touch to my dining area.
Really cute!

About Me High-end Shopper
I am really happy that I ordered these cloths! They really look just like lace, you wouldn't be able to tell that they are vinyl...seriously. I am throwing a folky kind of vintage looking wedding and they are the perfect tablecloths. They are inexpensive and really cute. The only downside is that they are a little shiny (just use the reverse side!) and some of the vinyl wasn't properly cut out in the design so it looks like dried glue is sticking to the lace but it's a very minor problem. Get these, they're really awesome.
My first impression is beautiful!
By Grandma of 4
from Kenmore, NY
I had planned on calling today or tomorrow with my complaint! I opened it up on Sunday, Father's day as 2 of my grandchildren would be coming over. I always use a vinyl tablecloth when they are here, then I don't care if they color or paint and of course, we all eat on it. When I put it on the table, there was an area that was ripped from the middle of one of the edges. there was also a piece of the tablecloth that fell out of the package. I am always satisfied with any product I purchase from Miles Kimball. But, I am dissapointed with this tablecloth. What can be done about it? If it needs to be returned, may I have a mailing slip sent to me so I do not have to pay for postage? I have thrown out the packaging as I didn't expect anything to be wrong with the product. I await your reply. Thank you!

JVCC DC-4110R/P Double Coated Removable/Permanent Tape is a clear polyester film differentially coated with a removable (low tack) and permanent (high tack) acrylic adhesive system.
The liner side (the tape exposed once you remove the liner) is coated with a controlled low tack, highly removable clear adhesive system which exhibits moderate adhesion to a variety of surfaces, but has excellent removability. The exposed side (the tape visible once you unwind it from the roll) is coated with an aggressive, high tack, high peel, high shear, permanent clear acrylic adhesive.
Both adhesives are excellent in low and moderate temperatures and are resistant to UV, moisture, some solvents, mild acids, oil and grease. JVCC DC-4110R/P double-sided removable/permanent tape is latex-free and has excellent adhesion to metals, glass, films, paper and some treated polyolefins. For manufacturing reclosable bags, pouches and envelopes; core start ups; end tabbing paper, foils and films; mounting promotional, advertising and point of purchase displays that can be removed, replaced and repositioned; temporary holding of packaging and protective materials during shipment; temporary laminating applications; making removable stickers and labels. Made in the U.S.A.
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose
2005 Museums for America
Two girls play and learn in the Vietnamese Round Boat at Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose.
Jenni Martin
Director of Education and Programs
Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose
408-298-5437, ext. 280
What city is home to more people of Vietnamese origin than any city outside Vietnam? It's San Jose, California, where the Vietnamese community is the city's fastest growing population — now comprising 11 percent of San Jose's one million people.
Because of this fact, the Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose knew that in order to meet its long-range goal of increasing overall attendance by 15 percent — in a way reflective of local demographics — it would have to attract more visitors of Vietnamese descent.
The museum had a model to copy, because in the early 2000s it completed a successful program to boost its number of Latino visitors by 20 percent.
"We had a growing awareness of the increasing Vietnamese population and the fact that our museum visitorship demographics were not matching the city's demographics. And we wanted to try to change that," said Jenni Martin, Director of Education and Programs at the museum.
Martin and her colleagues developed the Vietnamese Audience Development Initiative (VADI) to increase Vietnamese visitorship by 20 percent over a five-year period, using strategies and lessons learned from the Latino initiative.
In 2005, the museum received a three-year, $150,000 Museums for America grant from IMLS for the project.
Getting to Know the Community
VADI's purpose was to establish research from which to validate strategies and measure the museum's success in increasing annual attendance with visitors from the local Vietnamese population.
The museum approached the project in three phases: Community assessment and relationship building; development of exhibit, program, event, marketing, and governance strategies; and full-scale implementation of these strategies.
In the first phase, the museum took a multi-pronged approach to getting to know the community and its needs. Museum staff recruited a Vietnamese Advisory Committee, hired a Vietnamese communications consultant, hosted focus groups, and developed a museum survey printed in both English and Vietnamese.
The consultant provided entrée to local Vietnamese community leaders, who in turn facilitated other introductions.
To encourage families to complete the written survey, the museum offered a VIP program: Very Important People for our Vietnamese Initiative Project. Participating families received free admission to the museum. When they returned the completed survey, they received a Family Fun Pass, which provided privileges such as two free family visits and coupons for free parking.
During the second phase of the project, the museum displayed three exhibits relevant to Vietnamese culture, including "Dragons & Fairies: Folktales from Vietnam" from the Houston Children's Museum. The museum also designed trilingual signage in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese for the permanent "Secrets of Circles" exhibit.
The VADI project also featured educational programs, "Family Circle Nights" at schools, and parent/child workshops; Vietnamese performers at the summer music festival; and visual arts activities for children ages 4 and above, incorporating Vietnamese culture, such as lantern making and scroll printing.
The museum created one big annual event, "Children of the Dragon," a weekend festival in April to share Vietnamese culture with the community. The festival included a Vietnamese marketplace, where visitors could sample Vietnamese jackfruit and learn how to fold traditional rice cakes, and an arts and crafts area, where visitors could decorate a scroll and make block prints.
To publicize the VADI activities, the museum enlisted support from Vietnamese radio and print media. The museum also translated its literature and marketing materials into Vietnamese.
VADI also received a $25,000 sponsorship from Target Stores, which enabled the printing of 10,000 bilingual fliers promoting "Children of the Dragon."
Drawing More Vietnamese Visitors
The VADI strategies resulted in higher participation in the museum by Vietnamese-descent families, particularly among second-generation families.
Some 255,000 total visitors (of all backgrounds) benefited from the grant project; 113,740 people attended the "Dragons & Fairies" exhibit; 2,750 children and adults participated in the workshops, "Family Circle Nights," and arts programs; and 113 families signed up for the VIP program.
The "Children of the Dragon" weekend festival was very successful, with attendance rising 32 percent during its second year, from 2,847 visitors in 2007 to 3,757 in 2008. Attendance jumped even higher in 2009, even though the museum charged admission for the first time.
Response to the festival shows how the project has achieved its goal of serving as a bridge between the two worlds of Vietnam and Vietnamese-American communities.
"We had these Girl Scout troop leaders who came in their traditional ao dai, which is this beautiful Vietnamese dress — pants, actually — and they came in and they saw the market and they were so excited they were just walking around, all getting their photos taken in all these places within the market. And it was wonderful," said Martin. "And then bringing their children over and pointing out, because we had different fruits and vegetables — plastic ones — but also the tasting of a particular fruit called the jackfruit."
One of the project's most significant results was the knowledge museum staff gained over the three years.
"The institutional process of self-reflection and learning, where we were able to identify and try out these strategies and learn along the way about what was effective and what wasn't and about some of nuances of the Vietnamese community," was very valuable, said Martin.
Challenges and Lessons Learned
One of the things the museum staff learned early on was that the Vietnamese community was not unified behind one set of leaders.
"There were a number of different groups and we needed to navigate those political waters carefully," said Martin.
The split was generational, related to when people had left Vietnam.
"Some members of the community who had emigrated around 1975 were very distrustful of the communist government and of current relations with Vietnam today," explained Martin. "So there's one group that was very distrustful of that, and another group who has begun reaching out to Vietnam, is traveling to Vietnam, you know wants to look at American-Vietnamese relations now from a commerce point of view, a tourism point of view."
Tiny details could potentially alienate one of the groups, as the museum learned when hosting a traveling exhibit. A video in the exhibit showed a parade in Saigon with some communist flags waving.
"The executive director was getting a number calls from these different leaders who were saying that there was concern that we were aligning ourselves with the communist group," said Martin.
The museum director reassured community leaders and the Advisory Committee that no favoritism was intended.
Another lesson learned was that the cost of museum admission and parking was an issue for many Vietnamese families. Museum staff also learned that they approach education differently than Vietnamese families do.
"We had always made a big deal of sending a message about fun and learning together. And we learned that that message might be one that didn't speak as strongly to the Vietnamese community, that in fact there's a high value on learning as something that's very serious and also something that parents aren't always involved in. That the realm of learning is for the teacher and the school," said Martin.
Second Grant Allows Project to Continue
After the grant ended in September 2008, the museum continued many VADI activities including the annual festival.
In 2009, the museum received a second $150,000 IMLS grant for the VADI project. Going forward, the museum will hire a Vietnamese staff person who is bilingual and bicultural, and also work to differentiate the outreach to first-generation and second-generation Vietnamese.
First-generation folks see the museum as a way to connect to things Vietnamese in San Jose and a place to teach their children about their homeland. The second-generation folks, who came to the United States as children and grew up here, feel the museum's value is in its diverse audience, which helps teach their kids about other cultures.
"We want with our next grant for this project to really look at how should we be investing in those two different generations and what does that mean in terms of the messaging that we're doing, in terms of the grassroots work that we're doing, in terms of the large audience development," said Martin.

Bring your wall alive with a breathtaking look at a historic day in Big House history! For more than eight decades, Wolverines gameday on the University of Michigan campus had been an experience unmatched in sports - constant waves of Blue-and-Maize insanity make every game an event. Just when you thought the old bowl had seen it all, the venerable institution added a new wrinkle in 2011: lights! This spectacular panoramic photograph, from the perfect 50-yard-line view takes you inside the action during the inaugural night game - the September 10, 2011 victory over long-time rival Notre Dame. Like all prints in photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images series, every detail is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are there, cheering on the Wolverines early in the first quarter on a beautiful end-of-summer Saturday night. You can read the scoreboard, see the players on the sideline and on the field, observe the bright full moon in the sky above, and even pick out individual people in this 100,000-plus mass of humanity. If you've been to a game in Ann Arbor, admire the Wolverines from afar, or simply love historic scenes of college football in America, you'll love this piece - just looking at it brings back a flood of great memories. Worthy of a nice frame and a central location on your sports wall-of-fame!

How can we get the facts on what really makes humans tick?
The Venus project, Zeitgeist Movement, living in a cave all have one thing in common; they made the assumption that humans can change their minds through re-education, pain and suffering (from a crashing existing system). But can they? Seriously, is it biologically possible for the majority of the human race (average Joes) to embrace logic and reason over their baser instincts and emotions?
Genetic research (especially behavioural genetics and epigenetic) is in its infancy, we dont have enough facts to confirm or reject the hypothesis that humans act-react the way they do because of how genes structured their psyche. Human psyche development and research, due to nature and-or nurture, is the key to solving ALL of our problems.
I propose we go further than the human genome project, further than general anthropology, I propose we really look deep into the biological variables of our mind and body and confirm or reject once and for all this nature and/or nurture circus show and find out what we really want, need, desire as homo sapiens.
Once we do, we can proceed with the second phase of human development, change the way we think (through science and/or re-education) OR shape our future society around how we naturally are. There is no right or wrong, only facts and science to help us move along and cease the pseudo-science guessing game of what we want and what we should do for the future.
How can we plan for the future if we dont even know what we are-arent?
May 27 2013: Unlocking the complexities of emotion and instinct with logic is not possible.
The human brain is vastly greater than the sum of its parts. All science can do, is to show us those parts - and that's it; it can go no further. The rest is down to emotion, instinct, spirituality, sense of being, consciousness (the list goes on) - which you seem to have dismissed as "base" and suitable only for coping with "living in a cave".
In my opinion, you've got the hierarchy wrong. Moving humanity forward would entail creativity, and in the arena of creativity, science's role should be as servant to intuition.
Inconceivable? Read this book "The Master and His Emissary" - it should be compulsory reading for anyone interested in how humans tick:
May 28 2013: Even if said intuition is emotionally biased and dangerous? Science is an ever on going process of confirmation and rejection of our known world and universe, once cannot say it can or cannot do something until it does or does not do something, even if it couldnt prove anything now, doesnt mean it cant in the future when more tools and development are possible.
Everything can be analysed and explained if given enough time, research and discoveries.
May 28 2013: Science can be politically and economically biased. Which do you think is the most dangerous?
No matter how many tools and development we develop, human consciousness will forever be a chased rainbow. The more we know, the more it will be out of reach of the linear reductionism in the current era of science.May 28 2013: Hi Allan,
I read your link...and I wanted to ask, is the book hard to digest?
I mean, do you need to have background knowledge in a particular field before launching into reading it?
May 28 2013: Hi Mary I have not read the book but know that the writer often lectures at the Swedenborg Society in London.
All I think that is needed is an open mind to spirituality. Then it certainly will make sense.
May 28 2013: Hi Adriaan, thanks for this information.
Are you saying that the book is more spiritual than scientific?May 28 2013: As I said, I did not read the book, yet, but in the introduction it seemed to me there was made a difference between the mind and the brain.
Also I'd like to think that a challenging book would be a more interesting and pleasant read than an easy one :)
May 29 2013: Thanks Adriaan......you know, I struggle sometimes with books.
A friend recommended my reading Georgette Heyer....I now have more gray hairs as a result. LOL
I think you are correct though, a challenging book would be more interesting.
I'll see if I can get a copy of it.
Thanks!!May 28 2013: Hi Mary - sorry for the delay in replying to you.
I found the book quite hard to digest at first. However it is well worth persisting, as there is incredibly powerful, life-changing wisdom in there. And I don't say that lightly - it really is that good.
It may take several readings to take it all in. If I can manage to claim my copy back from my son, I will read it a second time - and possibly even a third!
McGilchrist is an enlightened exponent of his own book title - the intuitive and the scientific in balance.
May 29 2013: Great Allan...thanks for the honest reply.
- +1
I like the fact you stated that the book has the intuitive and the scientific in balance.
I'll try to find a copy.
MaryMay 22 2013: Hi Adon,
Great project, however we need more tools to get anywhere. When you say:
"There is no right or wrong, only facts and science to help us move along"
Science has no connection with anything spiritual. These are different realms. We think, love, feel, reflect etc. etc. all of which are spiritual activities. Science has no way to detect or measure what we love or think.
Human beings are spirits visiting a scientific environment in order to grow, develop and shape our loves, or character. Most have heard the saying "We are what we love" and that is very much it. That is the soul reason for us to have free choice.
Some people have to hit rock-bottom, come to the end of the road etc. before they decide to change or abandon what they love. Or commit suicide. Which does not help anything since we will face the same issues after death..
Barry Palmer
May 21 2013: I agree with your approach, but suspect that you underestimate the time line involved in your project.
- +1
If humanity has any hope for a long term future, it is through learning about humanity, using a methodical approach to the subject. Frankly, I think the scientific method will prove to be inadequate for studying human nature. So before this serious studying even gets started, two things have to happen. First, the people who are attempting this study (psychologists of many stripes) must become convinced that their attempts to use the scientific method are futile. Second, they must invent and adopt a method that is effective in producing consistent progress.
After they start making serious progress, they will realize that this question is much more difficult than any other ever attempted. Developing a reliable child development program will likely take centuries.
May 22 2013: Our current biological and evolutionary imperative is to survive and thrive, as far as we know, all living things do this. So what is the best method to survive and thrive indefinitely?
Learn. We learn more about ourselves and our universe, use this knowledge to progress, to become stronger, survive whatever the universe can throw at us and seek out more knowledge to better understand EVERYTHING that exist. This is not a divine purpose or man made ideal, it is simply what living things on earth do, we may even find out why living things do this through learning.
What is the best way to learn? Through Scientific research, discovery and development. Science is but at way to learn about everything, it is not someone or some specie's made up construct, it exist when sentient intelligent (humans, as far as we know) exist. In definition, EVERYTHING we do is science, our very existence is science, for the lack of a better word.
The Venus project and The Zeitgeist movement is a good start, because it is by far the most efficient way to survive, thrive and learn by a large margin, compared to any existing systems. But in order to adopt these progressive systems, we must first know whether we (the majority) are biologically (mental and physical) capable of it or not, if we are not, what should we do about it? For all we know, greed, murder, selfishness, need to control, etc are genetically natural for most humans and what we should do about them is up to majority votes, because humans are social animal, we need group consensus.
This is why I propose we get the facts on what makes us tick, reveal the findings to the public and let them decide how they want to go on, after knowing.
May 22 2013: I agree that developing knowledge about human nature could be critical to our survival and prosperity.
In my opinion, your statements describing science are wrong. Science refers to the use of the scientific method. The scientific method was developed by men, and is a major achievement. There are other ways to gain knowledge, other than scientifically.
May 22 2013: We can agree to disagree on the semantics and definition of science, because it is only a word to represent something, subject to interpretation. I use the word because its the closest in meaning to what I want to describe/explain.
Moving on. How can we convince people that the study of human nature is the first and most critical step towards future survival and progress? What tools/resources and man power do we need to get this done? What existing field of human studies can be improved upon and do we require a new field of study?
Up to now, humans simply do whatever they do whenever they want to or feel like it, mostly for personal, emotional or instinctual gains, without knowing why, how or where it will lead them. Progress is but a side effect to our everyday lives, instead of the primary driving force, which is absolutely absurd.Jun 20 2013: baser instincts and emotions always quell logic and reason, you only need to read some of the comments on here, youtube, etc to see that in action.
what we really want, need, desire as homo sapiens has been know for a long time, and i'd task you to find out exactly what that is, and why we have not achieved it - even though it was clearly know to the ancient Greeks.
As for there are only facts, I'd also challenge you on that, i'd say that science does not give us facts, rather it best understanding at any point in time. And that understanding changes with more learning, just like zooming into a fractal image. Just as a school child learns the matter moves constantly, then only later learns about friction, and so on. Where the fact's are constantly replaced as one has more understanding of any subject.
I'd equally rephrase the last question - How can we plan for the future - if we can't accept what we are - and overcome it.Jun 19 2013: You and your cat are so cool! You look alike.
Also, I assume you speak English as a second language. I admire your use of the language. You are very skillful in expressing complex thoughts. I am not psychic. Are you?
I ask this last for a reason. If it pans out, I'll share with you. If not, I still might share with you. But I add that question here for a valid, scientific reason.Jun 9 2013: "Genetic research (especially behavioural genetics and epigenetic) is in its infancy, we dont have enough facts to confirm or reject the hypothesis that humans act-react the way they do because of how genes structured their psyche."
Can it possible be true that your whole idea is based on you considering genetic research to be in its infancy?? It is not very rational to dismiss something just because it is new, as it is not reasonable to dismiss something only because it is old. But, I believe it is very interesting that you claim this to be an controversial in contemporary scientific community; I talked recently with a neuro-biologist and he told me that scientist have already passed on to deeper questions, i.e the community is in consensus. I can only refer to him and I do realise it is not enough for an argument but I still find it enough to doubt your proposition.
Can it be the simple matter of inadequate information regarding genetic research?
"Up to now, humans simply do whatever they do whenever they want to or feel like it, mostly for personal, emotional or instinctual gains, without knowing why, how or where it will lead them. Progress is but a side effect to our everyday lives, instead of the primary driving force, which is absolutely absurd."
Well.... that was kinda like putting everyone over the same edge? I hate to be fastidious, but just dont use generalizations - next time just add a "many" and you'll avoid writing this kind of unscientific and erroneous statement.
My view is that we should educate - many philosophers in history have talked about the perfect education but it is yet due to come. The school of philosphers - lovers of wisdom - scientists.May 31 2013: Science cannot explain the spiritual. Whether Man is a dichotomy or a trichotomy is debated, but no viable proposition has ever been put foward that he is a self-replicating, non-sentient biomass. What makes humans tick is their soul and/or spirit. If you deny the spiritual, non-material aspect of human existence you will never close the gap between belief and truth. I imagine all the myriad religious manuals offer some version of explanation of human behavior. I recommend the Holy Bible as a most worthy revelation of what you seek to know.May 28 2013: Are you assuming that scholars are not studying these questions or do not realize the importance of that study? If so, I believe you are mistaken in this assumption.
What is true is that those who work in neural science or the science of mind work on pieces of important problems with a strategy or in a sequence that reflects the best reach of their tools and push at the boundaries of important subjects as the reach of their tools is enhanced.
In short, I believe what you propose in the way of study agenda is well underway.
May 29 2013: I believe you have not read the entirety of my proposition, otherwise you wouldnt assume that I'm not acknowledging existing research and study conducted on said subject.
Summary of my proposition: I dont think enough study or funding are put on it, otherwise we wouldnt have so much confusion and conflicting information on the subject. Behavioural genetics and epigenetic has been pushed aside by society for far too long, despite its importance.
The reason why we dont study it enough is due to profit, its not profitable to know the facts about human behaviour, there are no marketable product or services to be made out of the knowledge.
May 29 2013: I believe you are incorrect that this area is largely neglected in the field's research agenda and also that there is no profit in understanding human behavior.This area poses greater challenge as an area of study than some areas that have been more fully investigated, like circadian rhythms, because behaviors of this kind are multigenetic. If you are interested in this area, I think you may find further research interesting as to what is studied and the rationale for the path of inquiry..
May 30 2013: Well, consider this simple question:
Why are the scientific community in general still debating the nature vs nurture subject without any convincing facts to support or reject the hypothesis put on by both sides?
There are no convincing facts to support or reject to support alternative hypothesis either, such as the nature AND nurture premise.May 30 2013: Much of the data regarding nature and nurture comes from studies of identical twins. There is a body of research on this question. There are also genetics-based studies that involve modifying genes to determine the connection between genes and simple behaviors that lead to findings about "nature."
There is experimental evidence as well in which the effects of experience on various attributes are studied.
There is an extensive research-based literature on this point, but until every mechanism is understood, the balance of importance between the two for different human features and behaviors is best presumed different. For example, you sometimes hear that a particular disease is 50% hereditary while another shows no genetic link.
You might want to explore this literature yourself if you are taking someone else's word for it. There are good popular books on neuroscience and if you have a scientific background and determination to educate yourself on the matter, you can even tackle a modern science textbook through self study.
The area that involves the study of complex human behaviors is called systems neuroscience.
John Brockman edits an Edge compendium called The Mind, which is an entirely non-technical take on the subject.
Eric Kandel's Principles of Neural Science is the leading medical school textbook in this field. The 2013 edition captures where the field is in the moment in terms of the big issues: cognition, perception, unconscious and conscious processing of neural information, development and emergence of behavior, and language/thought/affect/learning.
I always try to go to the sources on matters such as this, because there is so much misunderstanding several stages removed from those who actually do this work.
Good luck and great fun to you if you decide to pursue deeper understanding!
Jun 19 2013: What Fritzie said! He's one of the TED guys I always listen to. So should everyone else.May 31 2013: Madison Avenue will disagree that there is no potential for profit in "knowing the facts about human behavior". The very essence of the multi-billion dollar advertising industry is precisely the ability that you say has no potential for profit. Which of us is wrong on this point?

May 22 2013: The logical response would be to save the child because it would be an irrational waste of human resource to just let him/her die, provided that you are capable of saving the child instead of dying along with him/her. If we leave it to emotion and instinct, there will be those who WILL NOT save the child, even if it poses no risk to him/her due to whatever personal illogical/irrational reason they may have.
Logic and reason come from science and facts that are continually being confirmed/rejected through research and discovery, they cannot be corrupted and will always dictate maximum efficiency due to the nature of our universe, which is to operate at the lowest possible energy configuration (look up quantum physic, I cant post them all here)
Human emotions are a more evolved version of animal instincts and like all biological behaviours, they will change, be genetically turned on/off and even phased out from our biology if we let evolution and our living environment, both man made and natural to take their respective course.
I do not propose we eliminate or suppress our emotion/instinct, I propose we study them in depth, find out how efficient they are in relevance to our current and future societal requirement. In natural evolution, there is no right or wrong, only what works and what doesnt, its like nature's version of logic and reason, but slow and error prone. Did you know all living things have parts of their body that doesnt work well with their environment and may actually kill the species off in the long run? (which happened to quite a few species that couldnt evolve fast enough)
If we leave it to nature, we will be playing Russian roulette with our future, any numbers of environmental, natural or man-made elements-factors can lead us into an early grave.
We have to know more about ourselves and our universe. Get the blueprint, then built the system, not the other way around.

Sandusky police Chief Jim Lang said an officer who shot and killed the dog on Thursday took appropriate action.
"I think he did everything right," Lang said. "If it's between the dog and the officer getting bit, the officer's safety comes first."
Click HERE to watch the video
Check back here for updates or get today's today's top story in the e*Paper or buy a copy of today's Register at a newsstand near you.
The dog's outraged owner, Donna Hansen, 22, and her friends and family have sent up a rallying cry: "Justice for Lucy."
Hansen said she has contacted PETA, Animal Planet and the Erie County Humane Society, and she also started up a Facebook page to organize a rally on behalf of Lucy, who was a Rottweiler.
"There are so many people getting a hold of me saying they're bringing their dogs," Hansen said. "I want to make it so an officer can't just walk up and shoot your dog."
The protesters plan to meet at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday in front of Sandusky Municipal Court. That's just before Hansen's 9 a.m. arraignment on charges of no dog tags and dog at large, both citations that Wilson issued after he killed Lucy.
"I don't think it's right that I'm getting cited after he killed my dog," Hansen said. "How am I supposed to get tags for a dog that's dead?"
Hansen maintains Wilson had several other options. The city plans to bill Hansen for disposal of Lucy's carcass.
"I'm truly sorry the whole thing happened," Lang said. "If the dog would have been tied up and in its yard like it should've been, we never would've got the call."

When Food Network chef Dave Lieberman and New York Times science writer Anahad O'Connor surveyed the growing pantheon of so-called superfoods, they found many that were health-promoting powerhouses — but also many that were expensive, tricky to cook with and not particularly tasty. So the two set out to create their own list of foods that have scientifically supported health benefits and also are "affordable, appealing and versatile in the kitchen." O'Connor narrowed the list to 20, and Lieberman reduced that by half. The result was their co-authored cookbook, The 10 Things You Need to Eat, and More than 100 Easy and Delicious Ways to Prepare Them. For AARP.org, Lieberman discussed the merits of these superfoods and offered recipes for using them.
See also: Eat to prevent diabetes
Put them in brownies. Seriously. "The natural creaminess of avocado makes it a great substitute for creamy, saturated milk fat such as butter and cream," says Lieberman, "which is why you can make delicious brownies, smoothies and other desserts with avocado as the main source of fat."
Though avocados contain more fat than almost any other fruit, it's virtually all monounsaturated fat whose many benefits include raising good cholesterol, lowering bad cholesterol and preventing heart disease. And if that weren't enough, it's high in fiber, low in calories, and even higher than bananas in the blood-pressure-reducing mineral potassium.
If you ate canned beets as a kid and think you hate them, try them again. They are "nature's multivitamin," according to Lieberman and O'Connor, who say the beet contains a greater range of nutrients ounce for ounce "than virtually any other fruit or vegetable on the planet." The antioxidants that turn beets deep red also fight off free radicals that attack the body's cells and can lead to aging and disease including cancer. Compounds in beets also have been shown to lower blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk, and to help cleanse the body of harmful chemicals in processed foods, such as nitrates. "Beets are surprisingly versatile," Lieberman says. "They can be eaten raw or cooked and are delicious cold and hot."
Forget those fancy exotic berries like the Acai from the Brazilian rain forest. North America's berries are just as laden with antioxidants, more economical, and versatile and tasty to boot. Raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and blueberries make their "all-star team of superfruits." Each should be added equally to a diet to reap their individual benefits: strawberries for potassium, raspberries for vitamin C, blueberries for fiber and blackberries for vitamin E and more. "It's not hard to come up with crowd-pleasing recipes with berries," Lieberman says. "But making both sweet and savory dishes with berries was an adventure for me, and it turned out great."
Next: More superfoods. >>
