When On Any Sunday premiered in 1971, it wasn't just any movie. Directed by Bruce Brown, this insider look at motorcycle racing reached a wide audience that became fascinated by the heartfelt stories of real-life riders, which earned it both an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature, as well as its eventual status as a cult classic.
Four decades later, On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter is a contemporary exploration into the excitement and enthusiasm of two-wheeled life. Shot in Ultra 4K HD and directed by Bruce's son, acclaimed filmmaker Dana Brown, this modern take on the original captures the action and emotion of modern motorcycling through the eyes of its phenomenal athletes, revolutionary innovators, Hollywood stars, and visionaries. By focusing on the variety of riders and disciplines, this film journeys deep into the humanity and breadth of motorcycle culture—the passion for the race, the love of family and friends, the thrill of the ride, and even the use of motorcycles as transportation, as illustrated by doctors who use motorcycles to reach patients in remote villages in Zambia, and the hectic commute in Ho Chi Minh City. You'll recognize moto-luminaries like Marc Marquez, Dani Pedrosa, Robbie Maddison, Travis Pastrana, Doug Henry, and custom bike builder Roland Sands, each telling their tales with a unique perspective, alongside the stories of lesser-known riders, such as Carlin Dunne and deaf motocross racer Ashley Fiolek.

Deciding When To Feedforward (or WTF gates)
Another paper of mine, titled "Towards Implicit Complexity Control using Variable-Depth DNNs for ASR Systems" got accepted to the International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP) 2016 in Shanghai, which happened not too long ago.
The idea behind this one was the intuition that in a classification task, some instances should be simpler than others to classify. Similarly, the problem of deciding when to stop in an RNN setting is also an important one. If we take the bAbI task for example, and go an extra step and assume the number of logical steps to arrive at the answer is not provided for you, then you need to know when the network is 'ready' to give an answer.

Constraining Hidden Layers for Interpretability (eventually, hopefully…)
I haven't written much this past year, so I guess as a parting post for 2015, I'd talk a little bit about the poster I presented at ASRU 2015. The bulk of the stuff's in the paper, plus I'm still kind of unsure about the legality about putting stuff that's in the paper on this blog post, so I think I'll talk about the other things that didn't make it in.

Learning to Transduce with Unbounded Memory – The Neural Stack
DeepMind has in the past week released a paper proposing yet another approach to having a memory structure within a neural network. This time, they implement a stack, queue and a deque "data structure" within their models. While this idea is not necessarily new, it incorporates some of the broad ideas seen in the Neural Turing Machines, where they try to have a model that is end-to-end differentiable, rather than have the data structure decoupled from the training process. I have to admit I haven't read any of these previous papers before, but it's definitely on my to read list.
In any case, this paper claims that using these memory structures beats having an 8-layered LSTM network trained for the same task. If this is true, this may mean we finally have some justification for these fancier models — simply throwing bigger networks at problems just isn't as efficient.
I've spent some time trying to puzzle out what exactly they're trying to do here with the neural stack. I suspect once I've figured this out, the queue and deque will be pretty similar, so I don't think I will go through them in the same detail. Continue reading
Generating Singlish with LSTMs
So in in the last week, Andrej Karpathy wrote a post about the current state of RNNs, and proceeded to dump a whole bunch of different kinds of text data into them to see what they learn. Training language models and then sampling from them is lots of fun, and a character-level model is extra interesting because you see it come up with new words that actually kind of mean something sometimes. Even Geoffrey Hinton has some fun with it in this talk.
So after reading through Karpathy's code, I got a few tips about how to do this properly, as I haven't been able to train a proper language model before.
The data is obtained from one of Singapore's most active sub-forums on HardwareZone.com.sg, Eat-Drink-Man-Woman. I like to think it's a… localised 4chan. So know what to expect going in. If you want to just see what the model generates, go here.

Long Short-Term Memory
There seems to be a resurgence in using these units in the past year. They were first proposed in 1997 by Hochreiter and Schmidhuber, but, along with most neural network literature seemed to have been forgotten for a while, until work on neural networks made a comeback, and focus started shifting toward RNNs again. Some of the more interesting recent work using LSTMs have come from Schmidhuber's student Alex Graves. Notice the spike here in 2009 when Graves first wrote about cursive handwriting recognition (and generation) using LSTMs.

Neural Turing Machines FAQ
There's been some interest in Neural Turing Machines paper, and I've been getting some questions regarding my implementation via e-mail and the comments section on this blog. I plan to make this a blog post where I'll regularly come back and update with answers to some of these questions as they come up, so do check back!

Learning Gaussian Feature Extractors
While playing around with the MNIST dataset and the example code, I tried to visualise the weights of the connections from the weights to the hidden layer. These can be thought of as feature extractors of the input. If you've trained a denoising auto-encoder, you typically get a plot that looks something like this
(taken from http://ufldl.stanford.edu)
What I noticed about this is that there seemed to be strokes and blobs of white pixels that are clustered together. So I wondered if we could reduce the parameters to describe these blobs to the parameters that describe a 2D Gaussian function.
As it turns out, it can be done pretty easily, but I'm not sure if there's any useful application for this.
Neural Turing Machines – Copy Task
After much fiddling around with the instability of the training procedure, I still haven't found a recipe that would get it to converge consistently.
I did find though, that training it on shorter sequences first, before letting it see longer ones avoids huge gradients that would make the parameters explode into NaNs. And that is a huge help. Doing that still does not guarantee convergence though, and I only get a good model at random, like this one I've trained here copying a sequence of length 10:
Neural Turing Machines – Implementation Hell
I've been struggling with the implementation of the NTM for the past week and a half now.
There are various problems that I've been trying to deal with. The paper is relatively sparse when it comes to details of the architecture, and a lot more brief when it comes to the training process. Alex Graves trains RNNs a lot in his work, and it seems to me some of the tricks he has used here might have been distributed through his previous work.

Project Description
Destiny Kids Ministries
We require a Logo for Destiny Kids. This needs to not clash with main church logo yet be very child friendly.
Please see [url removed, login to view] for main church logo.
Other departments within Destiny Kids will flow out of this logo (Examples are Destiny Kids Primary, Destiny Kids Preschool, Destiny kids Creative, Destiny kids Channel) and may use part of the logo as a reference to where connected but then still have own identity through their chosen logo. Example of this working is Disney and Nickalodian. (There is potential for future work as new departments being created and they will need their own logos).
Colour palette preferred is "The Lorax" Movie.
Open to suggestions as not set yet on this concept, but know what it is when I see it.
Destiny Kids Vision
To be the largest and greatest Children's ministry in Austrailasia providing possibilities and releasing full potential in all involved.
Destiny Kids Mission
We shall achieve this by providing opportunities, facilities, services and products that will allow children and their families to release their full potential through the preached word, Christ and His church.
Destiny Kids Core Values
Destiny Kids believes that every child is destined for greatness and that you can do all things, given the opportunity and applying the can do attitude.
Everybody has the potential to be a great leader & has gifts and talents that are valuable to the church & the community. We endevour to provide keys to help them unlock potential in areas of growth and development of charactor. Destiny kids believes that everyone is unique, chosen, royal and therefore should have a certain type of dress, attitude & character. They will be 10 times better.
Organisational Culture
The culture of Destiny Kids is that its not school, and therefore is not bound by educational criteria but a conducive environment for learning and applying Christs nature. The teams are developed to teach out of love as opposed to being disenplanary. As we are not trying to replace the educational system, or parents role, but provide a supportive and encoraging character developing environment. We use social networks, texting, emailing and planning meetings to strategise and have team uniformity. We have a hands on management style, we set the theme and give keys points of focus, encouraging self management and creativity which then facilitates ownership, accountability, developing templates to duplicate for growth, and franchisability.
Colour palette: Same colours as in "The Lorax" Movie.

Tolstoy by Jeff Love
Book DescriptionThis is a concise but comprehensive guide to Tolstoy's literary and philosophical writings, focusing on aspects of his work that students find most difficult.Count Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy (1828-1910) is one of the most important writers in the Western tradition. His two great, giant novels, "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina", are regarded as pinnacles of the genre; they cover an enormous range of basic human experiences with a precision and probing spirit that, in the words of one critic, are simply 'unmatched by any other writer.'This guide offers students a clear introduction to Tolstoy's literary works from his major novels to the shorter novels and texts, including "Hadji Murat" and "The Death of Ivan Ilyich". The guide also covers major themes, including sex, death, authority and evil and offers an overview of Tolstoy's religious and philosophical thought. A final chapter assesses his lasting influence in the spheres of literature and culture, religion and philosophy and on major figures, including Joyce, Ghandi, Wittgenstein and Heidegger. This is a comprehensive and readable guide to one of the most remarkable writers and thinkers of the nineteenth century." Continuum's Guides for the Perplexed" are clear, concise and accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that students and readers can find especially challenging - or indeed downright bewildering. Concentrating specifically on what it is that makes the subject difficult to grasp, these books explain and explore key themes and ideas, guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of demanding material.

- Place the Mp4 to Smooth Streams.xml into your local drive and change the _configureFilePath
Loved part 1 and part 2! Very helpful and informative!
Will there be one for going a step further and doing Apple HLS?
I'm currently trying to get this to work into the code from these tutorials, but having issues.
@Katie:You have to encode video into Smooth in order to get to HLS. We do introduced a new function called dynamic packing and it produces HLS and Smooth streaming content based on H.264 on the fly. And only Mp4 is stored in the storage account. you could check out more in this video: http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Windows-Azure-Media-Services-Tutorials/Introduction-to-dynamic-packaging

Okay, so the idea was something to the extent that there was a WWIII (World War III), that resulted in a nuclear apocalypse. There was some warning before it happened, so the wealthy people and their family paid to have them transported underground to safety, but the others weren't as fortunate, as they had to struggle to survive on the outside in radioactive warzones. Most of the humans (and animals) on the outside were wiped out, but there were a few survivers, though mutated.
The ones underground lived out safely and had all the supplies they needed for survival for a millenium, and eventually began to evolve over time, adapting to their sunless, mechanic environment. Their eyes became larger, senses lowered, bodily functions slowed, they lost the hair on their bodies and heads, their legs became shrunken and useless, and arms and fingers elongated due to centuries of typing (they live practically on computers their entire lives), and lost most of their language. For now, I'll call them "Techies."
"Earthies," on the other hand, also evolved past mutations and became relatively humanoid again (there are still some born with, say, an extra limb from time to time). At about this time, life is resuming its course and there are plants and animals to eat and all that. The Earthies, for the most part, are the complete opposite of Techies; They survive in the harsh outside world, are taller, have longer and wider feet for stability, dark skin, narrow eyes, durable hands, and larger muscles. The women almost always have multiple children at once, as most people don't live past their thirties.
Anyway, the thing that moves the plot along is this:
A Techie man has the idea to start an experiment. He builds a robot and sends it up into the light, and it comes across an Earthie female foraging for herbs and berries. The robot injects her with a sedate and takes her back. While she is still unconcious, the Techie man injects her with another vial, then puts her back where she was. She wakes up and thinks it was all a strange dream.
9 months later: The woman has one child (can't decide on boy or girl). The child is a half-breed, though inherited more Earthie traits than Techie. However, the child is still outcasted and sent away to live in exile.
One day, the child, now a little older, finds itself in a ruined home and runs into the basement, looking for shelter from the severe weather. It knocks over something in the dark, and a television turns on. It's a documentary of the apocalypse (the child can't understand the language, but still has a basic grasp on the meaning). The child decides to find out all it could about the apocalypse and life before it.
And now...I can't tell the ending, and it might change anyhow. So please tell me what you think, and if you have any suggestions, please tell!
And also, don't steal my idea. I will cut you.

I think that you should go for it. It sounds good to me.
Hm. Sounds interesting. Very unique idea. Just don't make it clichéd, because I've read plenty of post-apocalypse novels. I'm sure you'll make it great, you're a good writer. KMU. :)

Not having much else to worry about, the Bank of England has been lecturing its female employees on ankle bracelets, heels over two inches high and white stilettos: in short, don't wear them. Don't look whorish or provocative, ladies, and try not to be too fashionable, either.
I'm afraid the Bank doesn't know what it's started. When I was 12 I remember being thrilled by a school directive that banned, among other morally dubious items of clothing, slingbacks. I had no idea what they were, but the swaggering name piqued my interest. What were these shoes that could transform an adolescent girl with hairy legs and a pet rabbit into a lethal sex bomb? I had to have a pair.
I asked around, but nobody could really tell me what these shoes were, and with good reason: by the time the edict was issued, the whole slingbacks trend was a decade out of date, and the coolest girls wore Doc Martens to double maths. Similarly, I seriously doubt that any of the women at Threadneedle Street were actually wearing white heels and ankle chains to work – wouldn't it be more contemporary to ban the exposure of giant tattoos and Uggs? – but if they've got a grain of rebellion in them, they certainly will be from now on.
Executed with care, Basildon Babe isn't an unstylish look; this weekend on Net-A-Porter my mouse hovered over a pair of very high, white patent Lanvin slingbacks, shoes of multiple naughtiness, including the price. They'd be perfect for work – but I'm worried they might distract my female colleagues.
Is Ramsay really so offensive?
I see that Ann Widdecombe is leading the calls for Channel 4 to give Gordon Ramsay the chop after the chef swore 243 times in a special edition of Kitchen Nightmares shown after 9pm on Friday night, a new record. It's not Ramsay's posturing but the patently insane restaurateurs that still make this show worth watching.
Ramsay's reliance on expletives has become tiresome. But so too has the vogue for parsing a handful of viewer complaints and pronouncing the nation to be offended. Just 69 out of 3 million watching complained to Channel 4. Perhaps Carol Vorderman can show Widdy why that doesn't add up to much.
Frozen in time
It started with a rapid series of flashes, streaming into the living room from behind the shutters. Something odd was happening. Then, shrieks, and laughter. I went to the window. Cappuccino froth had thickly coated the cars. Snow was settling! In London! A dozen neighbours were outside, taking pictures of the falling flakes on digital cameras. I did the same. By yesterday morning the radio was reminding us that this was the first heavy snow in London for 18 years, but, as ever, the flash of camera-phones and chorus of ersatz shutters clicking is the first sign that history is in the making.

Shakespeare's History Plays by Ton Hoenselaars
Book DescriptionThis 2004 volume, with a foreword by Dennis Kennedy, addresses a range of attitudes to Shakespeare's English history plays in Britain and abroad from the early seventeenth century to the present day. It concentrates on the play texts as well as productions, translations and adaptations of them. The essays explore the multiple points of intersection between the English history they recount and the experience of British and other national cultures, establishing the plays as genres not only relevant to the political and cultural history of Britain but also to the history of nearly every nation worldwide. The plays have had a rich international reception tradition but critics and theatre historians abroad, those practising 'foreign' Shakespeare, have tended to ignore these plays in favour of the comedies and tragedies. By presenting the British and foreign Shakespeare traditions side by side, this volume seeks to promote a more finely integrated world Shakespeare.

From bestselling author Michael Shermer, an investigation of the evolution of morality that is "a paragon of popularized science and philosophy" The Sun (Baltimore)
A century and a half after Darwin first proposed an "evolutionary ethics," science has begun to tackle the roots of morality. Just as evolutionary biologists study why we are hungry (to motivate us to eat) or why sex is enjoyable (to motivate us to procreate), they are now searching for the very nature of humanity.
In The Science of Good and Evil, science historian Michael Shermer explores how humans evolved from social primates to moral primates; how and why morality motivates the human animal; and how the foundation of moral principles can be built upon empirical evidence.
Along the way he explains the implications of scientific findings for fate and free will, the existence of pure good and pure evil, and the development of early moral sentiments among the first humans. As he closes the divide between science and morality, Shermer draws on stories from the Yanamamö, infamously known as the "fierce people" of the tropical rain forest, to the Stanford studies on jailers' behavior in prisons. The Science of Good and Evil is ultimately a profound look at the moral animal, belief, and the scientific pursuit of truth.

The Science of Good and Evil
Why People Cheat, Gossip, Care, Share, and Follow the Golden Rule
By Michael Shermer
Henry Holt and CompanyCopyright © 2004 Michael Shermer
All rights reserved.
One should accept the truth from whatever source it proceeds.
— Moses Maimonides, Eight Chapters, twelfth century
In one of the most starkly honest and existentially penetrating statements ever made by a scientist, Oxford University evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins opined that "the universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference." Here we cut to the heart of what is, in my opinion, the single biggest obstacle to a complete acceptance of the theory of evolution, especially its application to human thought and behavior, particularly in the realm of morality and ethics: the equating of evolution with ethical nihilism and moral degeneration. If we are nothing more than the product of sightless natural forces operating within a mercilessly uncaring cosmos, from whence can we find absolute ethical standards or ultimate moral meaning? My answer to this question follows, although Charles Darwin said it more succinctly in his magnum opus, The Origin of Species, in which he presciently provided an answer to Dawkins's observation: "When I view all beings not as special creations, but as the lineal descendants of some few beings which lived long before the first bed of the Cambrian system was deposited, they seem to me to become ennobled." What can possibly be ennobling about evolution, and how can we construct a transcendent morality out of evolutionary ethics? Here is how.
A Moral Dilemma
In his dialogue The Euthyphro, the Greek philosopher Plato presented what has come to be known as "Euthyphro's Dilemma," in which his favorite protagonist — the cantankerous political gadfly Socrates — asks a young man named Euthyphro the following question: "The point which I should first wish to understand is whether the pious or holy is beloved by the gods because it is holy, or holy because it is beloved of the gods?" The underlying assumption for Plato, as it has been ever since for most philosophers and theologians, is that moral principles are and must be linked to a God or gods in order to be considered absolute, eternal, and meaningful. Socrates is trying to show Euthyphro that a dilemma exists over whether God embraces moral principles naturally occurring and external to Him because they are sound ("holy") or that these moral principles are sound because He created them. It cannot be both.
Regardless of which choice is made, under this paradigm, theologians and religious philosophers have made God an integral part of the moral process. The thirteenth-century Catholic scholar Thomas Aquinas laid the foundation for a natural law theory of moral development by arguing that God supports moral principles that occur naturally, instills them in us, which we then discover through rational analysis, prayer, and our God-given intuitive mental faculty for moral reasoning. William of Ockham and Samuel Pufendorf, by contrast, preferred the second choice in Euthyphro's Dilemma, arguing in what has come to be known as Divine Command Theory and voluntarism that God freely created moral principles through divine fiat. Hugo Grotius gave the nod to the first choice, claiming that God endorses certain already-existing moral principles. The assumption made by all these commentators, of course, is that at some level God is involved in the process of creating and/or sanctioning moral principles.
By the eighteenth century, however, particularly within the intellectual and cultural movement known as the Enlightenment, a number of philosophers challenged the very premise of Euthyphro's Dilemma — most notably the atheist Scottish philosopher David Hume — by taking God out of the moral equation altogether. Thomas Jefferson, John Locke, and others, while not appropriately classified as atheists (rather, deism was a common belief among many Enlightenment intellectuals, in which God created the world and then stepped aside to allow matters to run their course), attempted to ground moral principles in natural law — a sort of deification of nature to make ethics transcendent of mere human convention. We see this in one of the founding statements of the United States of America: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." Even if the creator (small c) is nature, rights are still unalienable — society or people cannot take them away, simply because society or people did not create them.
An additional problem arises in Euthyphro's Dilemma, and that is if God is linked to moral principles — indeed, many argue that He must be in order to create a meaningful ethical system — then does that mean every moral statement of right and wrong ever made is infused with divine inspiration? What about moral principles espoused by Osama bin Laden, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, or Tomás de Torquemada? Did their questionable ethics derive from on high as well? Or, alternatively, did their "right" moral actions arise from a correct understanding of God's will and their "wrong" moral actions from a corruption in their understanding of the divine process? And what about the morality of nonbelievers, atheists, and agnostics? Did their moral sentiments arise simply from the surrounding religious culture, whereas believers' principles came from God? Problems of consistency in Euthyphro's Dilemma are legion.
There is a simple way around the dilemma: leave God out of the discussion altogether and adopt the methodological naturalism of science, in which all effects have natural causes subject to scientific analysis. The supposition is that the moral sense in humans and moral principles in human cultures are the result of laws of nature, forces of culture, and contingencies of history. I am not interested here in placing a value judgment on whether God exists or not, because it is not relevant to a scientific approach. Believers need not feel alienated, however, since if there is a God, it is acceptable to believe that He created and utilized the laws of nature, forces of culture, and contingencies of history to generate within humans a moral sense, and within human cultures moral principles. Thankfully for the future of our species — and perhaps all species — science can illuminate an answer, or at least many testable answers that can be confirmed or rejected based on the evidence.
Yet even in a strictly scientific explanation of morality we encounter an apparent dilemma. If morals have a natural instead of a supernatural origin, then there apparently can be no transcendent being or force to objectify them with absolute standards. If there are no absolute standards, then morality must be relative. Harvard evolutionary biologist Edward O. Wilson presented the dilemma this way: "Either ethical precepts, such as justice and human rights, are independent of human experience or else they are human inventions." On the one side, says Wilson, are the transcendentalists, "who think that moral guidelines exist outside the human mind." On the other side are the empiricists, "who think them contrivances of the mind." Wilson is an empiricist: "I believe in the independence of moral values, whether from God or not, and I believe that moral values come from human beings alone, whether or not God exists." For Wilson, there is no debate on the table with greater import. "The choice between transcendentalism and empiricism will be the coming century's version of the struggle for men's souls. Moral reasoning will either remain centered in idioms of theology and philosophy, where it is now, or shift toward science-based material analysis. Where it settles will depend on which world view is correct, or at least which is more widely perceived to be correct." But must we accept either-or (either transcendentalism or empiricism)? Can't we have both-and (both transcendentalism and empiricism)? I would like to propose a both-and consilience of transcendentalism and empiricism.
Ennobling Evolutionary Ethics: A Moral Dilemma Resolved
In virtually every dialogue I have about religion and science, I am inevitably challenged to explain how any ethical system not rooted in divine inspiration can be anything but relative, and thus meaningless. Without transcendence, believers argue, moral acts and principles can have no firm foundation on which to stand.
My thesis is that morality exists outside the human mind in the sense of being not just a trait of individual humans, but a human trait; that is, a human universal. Think about it this way: evolution created moral sentiments and concomitant behaviors over hundreds of thousands of years, so that today even though we agree that humans created morality and ethics (and thus we are empiricists), it is not us who created the moral sentiments and behaviors, it was our Paleolithic ancestors who did so in those long-gone millennia. We simply inherit them, fine-tune and tweak them according to our cultural preferences, and apply them within our unique historical circumstances. In this sense, moral sentiments and behaviors exist beyond us, as products of an impersonal force called evolution. In the same way that evolution transcends culture, morality and ethics transcend culture, because the latter are direct products of the former. Given this presupposition it seems reasonable to be both a transcendentalist and an empiricist, or what I call a transcendent empiricist. Transcendent empiricism avoids supernaturalism as an explanation of morality, and yet grounds morality on something other than the pure relativism of culturally determined ethics. It has the added advantage of being a testable hypothesis in the same manner that any evolutionary trait might be subject to the scrutiny of empirical science.
An Exegesis of Why and How We Are Moral
If, perforce, I had to explain the why and the how of morality — that is, the origins of morality and how we can be good without God — in five minutes, the following exegesis encapsulates the theory presented in this book.
1. Moral Naturalism. This is a secular and scientific approach to the study of morality. As such, whether there is a God or not is irrelevant to the theory because in science our approach is a naturalistic one — all effects have natural causes subject to scientific analysis. Since I am a nontheist, my assumption is that the moral sense in humans and moral principles in human cultures are the result of laws of nature, forces of culture, and the unique pathways of history; theists who embrace the findings of science may assume that God created and utilized the laws of nature and forces of culture to generate within humans a moral sense and within human cultures moral principles.
2. An Evolved Moral Sense. Moral sentiments in humans and moral principles in human groups evolved primarily through the force of natural selection operating on individuals and secondarily through the force of group selection operating on populations. The moral sense (the psychological feeling of doing "good" in the form of positive emotions such as righteousness and pride) evolved out of behaviors that were selected for because they were good either for the individual or for the group; an immoral sense (the psychological feeling of doing "bad" in the form of negative emotions such as guilt and shame) evolved out of behaviors that were selected for because they were bad either for the individual or for the group. While cultures may differ on what behaviors are defined as good or bad, the moral sense of feeling good or feeling bad about behavior X (whatever X may be) is an evolved human universal.
3. An Evolved Moral Society. Humans evolved as a social primate species with an ascending hierarchy of needs from self-survival of the individual (basic biological needs), to the extension of the individual through the family (the selfish gene), to a sense of bonding with the extended family (driven by kin selection of helping those most related to us), to the reciprocal altruism of the community (direct and obvious payback for good behaviors), to indirect altruism of society (doing good without direct payback), to species altruism and bioaltruism as awareness of our membership of the species and biosphere continues to develop. The most basic human needs and moral feelings are largely under biological control, whereas the more social and cultural human needs and moral feelings are largely under cultural control.
4. The Nature of Moral Nature. Humans are, by nature, moral and immoral, good and evil, altruistic and selfish, cooperative and competitive, peaceful and bellicose, virtuous and nonvirtuous. Such moral traits vary within individuals as well as within and between groups. Some people and populations are more or less moral and immoral than other people and populations, but all people have the potential for all moral traits. Most people most of the time in most circumstances are good and do the right thing for themselves and for others. But some people some of the time in some circumstances are bad and do the wrong thing for themselves and for others. The codification of moral principles out of the psychology of the moral traits evolved as a form of social control to ensure the survival of individuals within groups and the survival of human groups themselves. Religion was the first social institution to canonize moral principles, but morality need not be the exclusive domain of religion.
5. Provisional Morality. Moral principles, derived from the moral sense, are not absolute, where they apply to all people in all cultures under all circumstances all of the time. Neither are moral principles relative, entirely determined by circumstance, culture, and history. Moral principles are provisionally true — that is, they apply to most people in most cultures in most circumstances most of the time.
6. Provisional Right and Wrong. In provisional morality we can discern the difference between right and wrong through three principles: the ask-first principle, the happiness principle, and the liberty principle. The ask-first principle states: to find out whether an action is right or wrong, ask first. The happiness principle states: it is a higher moralprinciple to always seek happiness with someone else's happiness in mind, and never seek happiness when it leads to someone else's unhappiness. The liberty principle states: it is a higher moral principle to always seek liberty with someone else's liberty in mind, and never seek liberty when it leads to someone else's loss of liberty. To implement social change, the moderation principle states: when innocent people die, extremism in the defense of anything is no virtue, and moderation in the protection of everything is no vice.
7. Provisional Justice. Although we are all subject to laws of nature and forces of culture and history that shape our thoughts and behaviors, we are free moral agents responsible for our actions because none of us can ever know the near-infinite causal net that determines our individual lives. Good things and bad things happen to both good and bad people. There is no absolute and ultimate judge to mete out rewards and punishments at some future date beyond human existence. But since moral principles are provisionally true for most people most of the time in most circumstances, there is individual culpability and social justice within human communities that produce feelings of righteousness and guilt, and administer rewards and punishments such that there is at least provisional justice in the here and now.
8. Ennobling Evolutionary Ethics. As an evolved mechanism of human psychology, the moral sense transcends individuals and groups and belongs to the species. Moral principles exist outside of us and are products of the impersonal forces of evolution, history, and culture.
Free Rider: Facing the Judge
In a review of How We Believe that appeared in the Washington Post, Michael Novak made this observation about my confidence in science and the freedom I found through a scientific worldview: "Science is a method for gaining important forms of knowledge; scientism is the reduction of all forms of knowing to scientific method. Shermer certainly comes perilously close to the latter. Still, he tries valiantly to maintain a sense of the sublime, the sacred, even the mystical, as in describing his exchange of eternal love with his soul mate over lit candles inside Chartres Cathedral, or standing 'beneath a canopy of galaxies, atop a pillar of reworked stone, or inside a transept of holy light,' when 'my unencumbered soul was free to love without constraint' and was 'emancipated from the bonds of restricting tradition, and unyoked from the rules written for another time in another place and for another people.'" Novak's denouement is as thought provoking as it is poetic: "The beauty of being Shermer is that he faces no Judge, undeceivable, transcendent of nature, and within him as well as beyond him; and stands in no long pilgrim community, struggling down the ages, falling, rising, and throwing cathedrals like Chartres up against the sky cathedrals. He is a free rider."

As a firm believer in the spirituality of man I still seek answers to the hard questions. I purchased this book as a small part of this quest. I was not disappointed. Michael Shermer - a former Church of Christ (same religion of my childhood) member - provides us finely constructed arguments for the basis of morality and ethics. While I agree with the overall premise of the book, I do question the morality statements and studies that point to relative and provisional morals. For an older view of this area, I would suggest a person may want to read the classic mere Christianity. Knowledge may age but wisdom never does. For a more modern view, I would suggest the recently released Fingerprints of God. Even though he is an atheist (or maybe agnostic) I greatly admire the author. He is a libertarian at heart who seeks to dispel the myths of our cultural histories. However, where I see a divine source, he sees biological heritage. In the end, it doesn't matter if I agree or disagree. What matters is the book has exposed me to other realms of thought and provided a richer understanding of morality structure. I hope you find this review helpful. Michael L. Gooch

Boy Evil Has a black cloak that blends into the surrounings and hat casts a shadow over his face..the only thing you see are his dark piercing gray eyes that seem to look int your soul and see all your fears ad desires...he wears a black t shirt and dark gray pants with black boots and a gray omega symbol on them..he has a quiver of arrows and a silver bow on his back and what looks to he a sword strapped to his waist but you can tell that those are only the physical weopons and that he has other more dark ways of wreaking chaos
Shermer is always a reliable proponent of reason and an entertaining expert at demolishing the nonsense perpetrated by religion. I would recommend Michael Berumen's Do No Evil for a much better philosophical understanding and justification of ethical rules. Like Shermer, Berumen shows how ethics might have originated....but more importantly, he shows how ethical rules can be justified using the concepts of rationality and impartiality, which does not rely on historical or anthropoligical evidence, just simple reason.

This review is from: ORICO H727RK-U3-BK 7 Port USB3.0 HUB with Premium 12V/2.5A Power Adapter (Black)
Pros: Looks Nice I Guess
Cons: Everything, Ordered this item and first one came in dead on arrival so I returned the device and waited to receive a second one and since the reviews were all good I figured I must of just had bad luck and once I returned it and received a new one everything would be great. Well, the second one arrived and is for the second time dead on arrival. I am either the most unlucky person in the world or others are not posting about there's coming in dead on arrival. I read reviews for dozens of these and picked the one with the best reviews since I was originally in a rush and needed the item right away and did not have time to bother with there being any chance of it not working. I have ordered every PC related item for personal, family, and the various jobs I have worked for the past few years from Newegg and have never had anything but positive reviews and positive comments with every item arriving faster then expecting and always in perfect working order.This item has been such a nightmare has me to the point now of fearing to ever rely on a website for any item that I need immediately and can not risk the potential delay if the item happens to arrive dead. This has been two in a row that have come in dead on arrival and at this point think I will go back to prehistoric times and purchase computer items in person a local retail stores and pay the extra few dollars since it is now going to be over a month of waiting just to get a simple USB hub that works. The shipping charges now to send it back for second time would of just about paid for a USB hub on its own. Also one other comment about this particular item is the cables are extremely short and sort of a pain to deal with.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ORICO H727RK-U3-BK 7 Port USB3.0 HUB with Premium 12V/2.5A Power Adapter (Black)
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Dead on Arrival, plugged in to outlet and power indicator light did not come on and did absolutely nothing. Purchased a Alpha USB Network Adapter for better wireless signal and received it to find out it uses two usb ports and my laptop didn't provide enough power to power this device up so had to by a power usb hub so had to wait and order a hub and wait for this hub to come in and finally be able to power this network adapter to now find out received a dead hub so will now have to wait even longer. Will be a month now before I can finally uses the Alpha network adapter and wish I would of none there was a chance of receiving one dead on arrival and would of never ordered this one and passed on it like all the other ones I viewed that had comments saying this since I was in a rush to finally have a working network adapter.READ FULL REVIEW

Maybe half of it. A lot of it is SOP (seat of pants), experience, logic,
educated guesses. We all know that science is always finding something
new that refutes what they were so sure of before - like the best way to
plant a tree. You used to amend the heck out of the planting hole, but
not anymore. My most recent assignment was to determine the "correct "
botanical name for Hardy Ageratum. Since I'm not privy to the
nomenclature board's latest decisions (which could change next week
anyway), I had to research it and there's not a lot of agreement out
there even among the experts. After weighing the black and white
decisions of certain important references and adjusting for the gray
areas of clues I found in older references, I returned a personal
decision of Conoclinium coelestinum over Eupatorium coelestinum, though
I believe the latter would be acceptable. (See, Jim, I AM flexible!)
Those are instances of gray areas in horticulture, but when I said
there's lots of gray, I meant in absolutely everything, including
religion (she said, opening up a huge can of worms)
