The Myth of Moral Neutrality
Medicine is a moral activity, but whose morals rule?

You must not impose your values on anyone else particularly a patient. This principle is so ingrained in medical school that virtually no one questions it, yet it is more of a piece with the bizarre world that Alice entered through the looking glass than with ours. It is a world where "words mean what I choose them to mean neither more nor less." Only a very brief consideration is necessary to uncover the fatal logical faults contained in this modern dogma. If everyone is as entitled to his values as everyone else, only when consensus is reached can anything be done. Sadists and masochists can go ahead with their pleasures, abusive relationships must be as honoured as loving ones, attempting to prevent suicide is intrusive, only individual choice matters. Nothing can be declared inadmissible if the participants are content. This is absurd; in fact, it is an inexhaustible mine of absurdity.
The Devastating Question
Only one question is necessary to expose the shallowness of the intellectual position of those who demand moral neutrality in the practice of medicine. The question is why? Why should I practice medicine in this way? The answer must take one of two forms, either they will say that it is good or sensitive to do so, or they will say that someone might otherwise be upset. In the first case all that has been accomplished is to change the type of moral imposition required from that derived from the rich tapestry of more than 2000 years of philosophical reflection incorporated in medical traditions to a debased, untested creed, primarily concerned with the desires of the autonomous self. I am to take the morals of the ruling elite instead of my own into the consulting room. In the second case, it is being proposed that my primary professional function is to make my patients feel good about their lives even if that is not justified. This latter position has nevertheless to be suspended whenever the implications of a serious diagnosis must be explained to a patient. In both cases, an attempt has been made surreptitiously to bypass the ancient question of what is good? It is my intent to show that moral neutrality is neither acceptable nor sensible.
Defining the Good
As yet, most of us think that we know that some things are always right and others wrong but these certitudes are now under attack. Killing one another, for example, might seem a suitable candidate for universal disapprobation. However, if the one to be killed is a widow in some cultures, or an unwanted, unborn infant in ours, or an ailing parent in the future, perhaps then, this ancient landmark will be moved. This leads the exultant modern to the conclusion that all truth is relative (except that statement!), that we must accept all these behaviours as ethical within their cultural context. But all truth is not relative; some things can be and are truly known. The categories of truth and lies define the limits of our moral universe in one plane of experience, justice and injustice in another, honour and dishonour in another, love and hatred in yet another. We know these great categories in part, through a glass darkly, but we have all experienced them truly. What is relative is the way we translate these categories into the details of living. It may be honourable to respond to a business failure by committing suicide in Japan, but in the West, it used to be honourable to wind up efficiently and pay as many debts as possible, nowadays, it appears to be honourable to hire a clever lawyer to avoid paying as many debts as possible; nevertheless, I believe that a debased idea of honour persists. If it is to be preserved within medicine, we shall need to be much more insistent on thorough discussion of changing modes of expression. Words are dangerous, they change the cultural ethos. Evacuating the products of pregnancy seems a much smaller event than abortion.
How Did We Come to be so Committed to Moral Relativism?
Claims to know are often arrogant and overbearing, especially in the area of ideas about good and evil, and in disputes between religious groups. The wars of religion bear eloquent and sad witness to the dangers associated with moral and religious dogmatism. The exclusion of religious debate from practical politics was one way to contain these tensions.
Furthermore, in the glow of post-enlightenment discoveries, it seemed that science offered certain knowledge that was based on systematic doubt, and the use of provisional hypotheses, to be cast aside when defeated by "facts." Facts changed their meaning to be applied only to what can be appreciated by the senses, (with a few notable examples, like evolution, which are not discussed). Moral knowledge was personal, private, and subjective by comparison. Scientists could settle their disputes whilst theologians could not. What emerged a good and defensible desire for religious tolerance and a particular respect for anything with the title scientific. The way this would lead to moral relativism was not appreciated and still is not in some quarters, but once moral truth was replaced by subjective moral opinions, relativism was inevitable. The reversal of this error demands a critique of the anthropological arguments for moral relativity.
Ethical Relativity and Anthropology
One of the most common supposed facts, upon which arguments for ethical relativity and hence for the denial of objective moral truth is based, is the existence of dramatically different ethical codes found around the world. These are undeniable phenomena extremely well documented by anthropologists. But the essential question is what are these different codes attempting to achieve? I wish to argue that in every case the behaviours deemed ethical are attempts at Honour, Truth or Justice, or some other major category. The appropriate response then is not to declare all ethical opinions relative, but to decide which most closely achieves conformity with the fundamental principles. Over some issues we respond intuitively, reflecting our own cultural history and with quite remarkable forcefulness for so called multiculturalists. For example, in parts of the Sahel, girls are subjected, by older women, to extensive and painful circumcision to signal their passage into womanhood and to preserve their and their family's honour. When they migrate to Canada, they wish to continue this practice, but we call this practice child abuse and it is forbidden. In other words, over this issue, we are prepared to say that our understanding of how the concept of honour should be translated into the ethics of everyday life is better than that of the Sahelians. What we have done is to say that the power of our cultural story to give meaning and honour to female puberty is greater than the Sahelian one Multicultural sensitivity accepts that the intent of the Sahelians was good, but denies the appropriateness of the practice. For this practice virtually everyone agrees, but we need criteria for making such judgments in less intuitively obvious cases.
How Can We Judge?
Historically, all cultures are forced to judge, and the success or failure of cultures is probably more dependent upon these judgments than on economics or politics. Perhaps, the most noble description of what an ethical society would be like is contained in the law of Moses. Sadly, no society has ever come remotely close to such standards. The authority of the Mosaic law is rooted in its claim to be spoken by God, a claim derisively dismissed by modernity. Were the claim accepted, then the logical response of the Jews, namely the attempt at obedience, would be rationally mandatory for all.
An alternative approach is to attempt to reason one's way to what is good. The Greeks attempted this, and subsequently their efforts were synthesized with the gospel by the great thinkers of the middle ages to provide a basis for Christendom. It is fashionable to decry those efforts, but as we sink into a sea of relativism, the medieval belief in an objective natural law which held sway over all things begins to look like a highly desirable one.
The modern approach, based on individualism where feelings are given as much weight as careful thought, is exceedingly shallow by comparison. It lacks any consistency or means to achieve consensus and must ultimately depend upon power, even though at present that power is exercised only through intimidation. Lewis expressed our dilemma with characteristic elegance:
"For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem of human life was how to conform the soul to objective reality (God) and the solution was wisdom, self-discipline and virtue. For the modern mind the cardinal problem is how to subdue reality to the wishes of men and the solution is a technique. The pursuit of happiness in the modern sense is therefore self-indulgent. Man's conquest of nature must always become man's conquest of other men using nature as the means. But these powerful people no longer think of God and God's laws as objective reality so they are controlled not by God's supernatural ideals but by the natural forces of their own heredity and environment. Thus man's conquest of nature turns out to be nature's conquest of man." [1]
This scenario is being played out in medicine at present as competence is displaced from first place by various forms of affirmative action. Whenever a cultural elite uses connotation words like male, or white, or Caucasian to justify their attempt to enforce quotas or speech codes, they invariably talk about victimization. We should resist derisively pointing out that it is particular people who are victimized, not groups, and therefore, it is always human rights that need consideration, not sex, race, or class in a group sense. They talk of paternalistic demeaning of groups, and then inconsistently demean a whole group by proposing to "empower" them. Ask those who have triumphed over great odds what they feel about affirmative action and quotas. Why should any person's subjectivity dominate another's without objective justification?
Ethics and Subjectivity
The assumption that all ethics are subjective expresses itself in such phrases as "good for you" or "wrong for you." Subjective ethics would make it impossible to demonstrate that anything was always right or always wrong, independent of what a given individual thinks. In practice we all live as though objective right and wrong exists. If you do not believe me, stamp on the toe on a subjectivist. The University myth of the student's essay on relativism makes the point neatly. The student had worked hard, organized a lot of material, written well and clearly understood much of the material but had failed to grasp the implications of subjectivism adequately. The professor, to instruct the student, gave an F. The student, incensed, returned to argue. After listening for a while the professor said, "Ah, but you don't understand, I hate blue folders." The student took the point and was given a more appropriate grade. For "Justice," which the student demanded, to exist something beyond individual preferences is necessary. Professor Leff, from Yale law school, expressed the dilemma eloquently:"I want to believe - and so do you- in a complete, transcendent, and immanent set of propositions about right and wrong, findable rules that authoritatively and unambiguously direct us how to live righteously. I also want to believe - and so do you - in no such thing but rather that we are wholly free, not only to choose for ourselves what we ought to do, but to decide for ourselves, individually and as a species, what we ought to be. What we want, Heaven help us, is simultaneously to be perfectly ruled and perfectly free, that is, at the same time to discover the right and the good and to create it." [2] Leff recognized that moral freedom of that sort would lead to anarchy, but he could not solve the conundrum. He knew that if all opinions were equal justice was an illusion but couldn't bring himself to accept the inevitable consequences of objective moral truth.
Are All Ethical Opinions Equal?
Only a moment of serious consideration is necessary to answer this question. To equate the ethical sophistication of the Greeks with the now extinct Ik is nonsense. The Ik were a nomadic tribe caught in a terrible predicament where their traditional way of life was threatened. Their responses were selfish and far from noble, and led to their extinction. [3] Similar foolish choices, such as the current adoption of crass egalitarianism, are destroying the University, because recognition of real scholarship and erudition is necessarily hierarchical. Grade inflation, also part of this process, is intrinsically unjust to the most talented.
The conclusion of Leff's essay dramatically illustrates our dilemma. "All I can say is this - it looks as though we are all we have. Give what we know about ourselves and about each other that is an extraordinarily unappetizing prospect - looking around the world, it appears that if all men are brothers the ruling model is Cain and Abel. Neither reason, nor love nor even terror, seems able to make us good, and worse than that there is no reason why anything should. Only if ethics is something unspeakable by us could law be unnatural and therefore unchallengeable. As things stand now everything is up for grabs. Nevertheless napalming babies is bad, starving the poor is wicked, buying and selling each other is depraved. There is in this world such a thing as evil."
Sadly, having demonstrated that his premise did not lead to a morally consistent conclusion, Leff did not re-examine his premise, and, as Johnson wrote in his essay, Leff spent the rest of his life on the minutiae of the law and never returned to the weightier issues.
So far, we have seen that moral neutrality presupposes the absence of metaphysical truth, that it espouses a moral subjectivity which is easily shown to be unacceptable and unworkable, that it necessarily accepts the equal validity of every- one's moral choices, but nevertheless, passes legislation outlawing some cultural choices. The primary driving force of the morally neutral is a fear of intolerance and a love of individual liberty, which verges on libertarianism. The question is: can a society be built on the basis of tolerance and untrammeled individual liberty?
Tolerance and Freedom are not Supreme Virtues
No one likes to be called intolerant, but it can be demonstrated that intolerance in certain things is critical to the stability of society Consider the following scenario. There is a society in North America with the declared aim of legalizing sexual activity between adult males and pre-pubertal boys. "Eight is too late" is their slogan. Now imagine yourselves as parents of an eight- year-old boy who find themselves with one of these men as a houseguest for two weeks. He is charming, witty, intelligent and full of fun, but he does have this quirk. Will you allow him unopposed opportunity to use his charm and sophistication to persuade your eight-year-old that he is being deprived of the rightful experiences of every eight- year-old? I have asked this question of several audiences. No one has said yes. There are activities which all of us will not tolerate, and we feel no shame in displaying our intolerance.
What sorts of behaviours do we legitimately attempt to suppress? I would suggest a starting list of four - unloving, unjust, untruthful, dishonourable behaviour.
Love, truth, justice and honour cannot even share a sentence with the verb to tolerate. You do not tolerate love, you embrace it, you seek it; you do not tolerate truth or justice, you demand them and honour is admired not tolerated. Tolerance and compromise are not the stuff from which great societies, great stories, or even great professions are made.
But tolerance is important. It is the oil which lubricates so many human interactions; but often its strength is to overlook error or wrong-doing, to have compassion in the human frailties which beset us all. Unlike truth, love and justice which brook no rivals, the proper use of tolerance involves wise judgment. To lack the necessary skills of prudent judgment will lead the defective into either bigoted narrow-mindedness or libertarian excess.
The Necessity for Appropriate Tolerance
Neutral values do not exist, but we do need the tolerance they would seek to protect to adjudicate the conflicts which arise in our attempts to translate the unchanging but only imperfectly known truth into the working ethics of daily living. Human judgments on how this should be done are very culturally dependent, as even a brief list of practices considered ethical in different parts of the world in the last century clearly illustrates. Such a list would include: widow burning, ritual prostitution, infanticide, slavery, abortion, and euthanasia. Changes in what is considered ethical occur very slowly, but they are dependent on dogma for their foundation. Christians, for example, affirmed that all were one in Christ Jesus, that there was neither Jew nor Greek, neither male nor female, neither slave nor free from the time of Paul. But this doctrine did not translate into the practical condemnation of slavery for 18 centuries, and the war of the sexes is still continuing!
What is desired, and rightly so, is tolerance as a normal virtue in our human interactions, but it is clear that the espousal of neutral values is not the way to create the appropriately tolerant society. Neither is the refusal to accept every opinion as equally valid truly intolerant; rather those who would demand such things are intolerant of logic. It is becoming apparent that the atheistic secularist has no adequate basis for tolerance because if this life is all we get, and there are no individual moral consequences, it is logical to use power to achieve your own ends. The Christian, on the other hand, believes in both his own fallenness and the ultimate unknowableness of God in His entirety, and therefore, has good reason to be humble in the face of contrary opinions.
The Hidden Premise
Those who want a neutral value policy usually say something like "you keep your opinions on morals private and I will do the same, and in that way we will both be happy." This slick piece of sophistry is neither true nor honest. The hidden implication is that there is no objective truth at stake - but, as we have already seen, in order to have justice objective truth is necessary. We have to have means to judge. But, I believe the real motivation behind the "I have my values you have yours" argument is the objective of a libertarian society and this follows by default without the risk of rigorous debate, if we accept their argument. It is the old hatred of our creatureliness in modern dress. Pascal expressed it most eloquently: "It is the nature of self-esteem and of the human self to love only oneself and to consider oneself alone. But what can a man do? He wants to be great and finds that he is small,- he wants to be happy and finds that he is unhappy,- he wants to be perfect and finds that he is riddled with imperfections; he wants to be the object of men's affection and esteem and sees that his faults deserve only their dislike and contempt. The embarrassing position in which he finds himself produces in him the most unjust and criminal passion that can possibly be imagined; he conceives a mortal hatred of the truth which brings him down to earth and convinces him of his faults. He would like to be able to annihilate it, and, not being able to destroy it in himself, he destroys it in the minds of other people. That is to say, he concentrates all his efforts on concealing his faults both from others and from himself and cannot stand being made to see them or their being seen by other people. [4]
Throughout history there have always been those who wish, as they put it, to be free. But unless we are good, our freedom always deteriorates to license, and usually to the tyranny of the few over the many. The bane of human history is the desire to be an autonomous self, to be beholden to no-one. But such autonomy is not the truth, ethics is the condition of man (Wittgenstein). Conscience is real. For those who accept an over-arching reality, it is a gentle nudge towards truth, and for those who refuse, it is the guilt trip laid on them by society.
The first thing to recognize is that the word itself shows its origin in the idea that conscience is not a feeling but a form of knowing. We all have the experience of being inwardly obligated to do "good" or to eschew "evil." This is true even when it is to our own immediate hurt, as with passing up an opportunity to cheat. This is not a feeling, indeed it fights against our feelings. This is moral knowledge. In most cases, it offers no evolutionary benefit to our genes so that the reductionist is left with an explanatory problem. Whence cometh the moral law within? When one reads a law, it is normal to ask who is the lawgiver! The objection, of course, as Leff clearly understood, is that if we accept this view, we accept our creaturely status. A lawgiver, the legitimacy of whose laws we cannot deny, demands our obedience.
So, what needs to be done to remove the illusion of relativism from our teaching guidelines, and replace it with a more sophisticated understanding of moral truth, including appropriate tolerance of different ethical judgments? First, those who understand the process that has led to the logical nonsense of so-called neutral values must start saying so publicly, and doing what they can to redress the damage done. This damage is primarily to create an atmosphere where moral relativism is the norm. We must all examine our intolerances and decide whether they are bigoted or selfishly libertarian, and therefore to be decried and removed, or legitimate, and therefore to be defended. Judgment is hard, but it must be attempted if we are not to be left with a crude and debased culture. For tolerance to be properly exercised, it must be held in tension with all the other virtues. This is what character formation is all about. It requires the development of wisdom which is quite different from the acquisition of knowledge, and utterly different from the mere cataloguing of information which currently passes for education. It requires a recognition that metaphysical truth exists, even though our knowledge of it is limited. Sincerity is not enough. As Iris Murdoch put it, our failure as a society is that we have substituted for the hard idea of truth, the facile idea of sincerity.
Life requires us to answer the age-old key questions, or else to spend immense psychological energy in denying their cogency and paying the price for such denial in the neuroses characteristic of our society. Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going? How can I make sense of suffering? How do I come to terms with mortality? How can I believe in justice? What can I know? What may I believe? What should I do?
These questions are compulsory. The Jews were told that the critical educational environment for answering them was the home; the conversations at meals, on journeys, the practice of giving thanks to God morning and evening, and of celebrating the feasts with joy before God. Moses taught the Jews that the reality of their faith in God must be lived out in the everyday environment. For work ridden professionals, framing life within these eternal realities is difficult and needs constant attention, but if our children have only an education that deals in facts perceived solely with the senses, with no space for the spiritual, then the future is grim.
Real education is rooted in the telling and retelling of culturally formative stories which give meaning to ideas of honour, courage, justice, truth, and love. An education without these foundations is an education that is not worthy of the name.

Dark Knight Rises Catwoman Bat Veil Women's T-Shirt
Made from 100% Cotton, this white, juniors-cut t-shirt features Catwoman's porcelain facade filling the surface of the t-shirt, her eyes veiled by a sheer Batman symbol, surrounded by swarming...bats! And yes, this t-shirt is based on the particular Catwoman starring in Christopher Nolan's third Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises! It's Catwoman! She's pretty! She's stealthy! And she might be in league with...BANE! AHHH!
Anyway, this Dark Knight Rises t-shirt is for junior-women. "Juniors" is sometimes referred to as Baby Doll, reflecting a cut that is generally straighter and therefore tighter-fitting around the bust. Juniors sizes are designed to fit teenagers and young women, although women of all ages prefer the tighter-fitting Juniors style, as it's generally considered to be more fashionable.
Fitted vs. Standard:
- Fitted sizes are cut more narrowly through the bust and are more form-fitting.
- Standard sizes are cut wider through the bust than are Fitted sizes and have a looser, straighter fit.

Love the product.
Vancouver, BC
I really love this shirt, only problem is I forgot that white is often see through and I have to wear a shirt under it. Still it has been added to my collection of favourite shirts and I've already got plenty of compliments on it!
Love it!
I loved the shirt, however, it was too small for me. Instead of exchanging it, I ended up getting my money back.
Gurnee, IL
A must-have. My only decision here is do I buy it first, or the pink one that says "MEOW"...

I had forgotten how painful some things are days after you give birth.
Not how sore you may be from having your stomach cut wide open and a human pulled out from an incision much narrower than the actual human—thankfully skin is has a good amount of elasticity. Or how sore your ladies bit and the resulting episiotomy from having to push another human through a hole that is once again much smaller from the actual human coming out (see prior note about elasticity of the skin).
Instead, how ridiculously painful that initial latch on when breastfeeding can be for the first couple of weeks or so. My toes curl every time Huggy Baby latches on the right side.
Or, how painful that first crap can be after giving birth.
I pooped for the first time on Friday since the morning of my c-section the previous Sunday. Five days without pooping. I don't suggest you try it.
I do strongly encourage you to take the stool softeners they offer in the hospital. Religiously.
Even with four days of double doses of stool softener in me, my maiden post-birth poop practically made me pass out right there on the toilet.
It was like passing a brick through a keyhole—without the blessed elasticity of skin that my stomach offered me over the last nine months.
Be forewarned: Once you commit to the process you cannot give up. There is no going back.
So brace yourself.
Push like you mean it.
And don't be surprised when you shed actual tears of relief when it's over.

As Duke Dumont and A*M*E's recent chart-topper 'Need U 100%' proved earlier this year, dance music is currently in a phase of '90s deep house retrospection. Brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence aka Disclosure have also been instrumental in bringing such a sound back to the charts; despite not being old enough (they're 21 and 18 respectively) to remember it first time around.
Not that you'd be any the wiser when listening to their debut album Settle, which forgoes the current trend for speaker-splitting identikit EDM in favour of the kind of smooth grooves and spacious beats you'd expect to find on a club classics compilation. But much like their megahit 'White Noise' with trendy duo AlunaGeorge, it's also packed with modern pop sensibilities.
It's not only shown with their choice of guest features - Jessie Ware, Ed Macfarlane, Jamie Woon, Eliza Doolittle - but also in their ability to create ear-snagging melodies; particularly on 'Defeated No More', which hears Macfarlane coo wistfully over throbbing beats that draw you in as they begin to swirl uncontrollably, before snapping back into focus for the chorus. It's a trick they repeat on Woon-assisted 'January' and Ware's 'Confess To Me' with equally impressive results.
Despite the list of vocalists reading like a who's who on the Hype Machine chart, Guy and Howard's presence is felt strongly throughout, although the featureless tracks 'Second Chance' and 'Grab Her' are the weaker on the collection. Regardless, much like Daft Punk's latest effort, Settle is an album that brings some sorely needed intelligence back to joyous dance-pop.
Tracks to download: 'Latch', 'Defeated No More', 'January', 'Confess To Me'

EOS was able to quickly and completely stand out in the lip balm industry through several factors that allow them to be perceived quite differently than those companies that are currently selling lip balm in the marketplace. How EOS lip balm is able to stand out in the industry is a great story about how companies can diversify themselves in already well-established markets.
One of the ways that EOS is able to stand out is with their great and unique flavors. Unlike their competition that tends to have bland offerings that are labeled cherry or mint, or even medicinal, EOS has these great flavor options that unique blend that attracts customers and keep them trying new blends. Examples include vanilla mint, strawberry sorbet, and blueberry acai, https://www.walmart.com/ip/Eos-Sweet-Mint-Lip-Balm-0.25-oz/15136069. These flavor options help to keep customers loyal and interested in products and allow their business to grow in the long run.
EOS' flavors also stay tastier than other brands because their products are not built using artificial ingredients. EOS contains all-natural product ingredients that are organically sourced and derived from high quality oils that provide lasting protection to your lips. EOS adds vitamin C and E to most of their balms which adds protection for their lips that other brands simply don't offer.
Beyond that, EOS has a unique application container. Customers were complaining that the jars that some brands used weren't sanitary while the sanitary tubes were easy to misplace. EOS solved this problem with these unique orb products that not only stood out in the pocketbook, but also on the shelves of stores like Kohls and Ulta. These orbs were colored in different colors to match the flavor and the brand established themselves quickly and easily on product shelves and in customer hearts.
EOS used this product differentiation to establish itself as a major player in the lip balm industry and engineer an unthought-of growth trajectory.

Walking or jogging in the right position will produce the most effective result, and fewer burdens to the joint in addition to burning more calorie as more muscle is engaged.
Walking or jogging is very simple, cheap and easy to do. You don't need any special equipment to do the walking and jogging. Here are some of the tips to effective walking and jogging.
As you may know that healthy body is not achieved easily and it does not take a very short time to be healthy. However, walking or jogging is a good thing to do that will make your blood pressure down and reduce your weight. And what most important is walking will make you fit and healthy.
If you choose walking exercise as your routine activity, you should get to know what the right position of walking is in order to achieve the most effective benefits of walking exercise.
When walking exercise is chosen, make sure that your eyes are focused on to the front, not up nor down. Avoid possible pain in the neck by keeping the neutral position of the neck. Keep your shoulder straight so as not to bend over and stay at a relaxed position. Do it by bending your elbow forming an angel of 90 degree and swinging your hands towards the centre of your body. If you bend it accurately, it will burn more calories and involve more muscle.
Keep your back straight so that the curvature of the bone remains natural. When walking up hill, have your back pushed forward a little.
Lift your chest a little bit up to allow longer breathing. Broaden your stomach muscle and try to breathe in rhythm with your step. Keep your heel touching the ground, and make a short step so that it will give better result and will not burden your joints.
Follow the above mentioned walking technique which will improve your health—more efficient lung and heart capacity, and lower the risk of injury, more comfortable, faster, and burn more calories, and make you stay in shape. Moreover, this walking trick will not cause pain in the body, will avoid poor posture and eliminate fat deposition in your stomach, thus making your appearance a lot better.

The conference aims to explore the shifting range of meanings covered by the notion of crime and their far-reaching social repercussions in the representations of early modern England. In that context, drama and other literary forms came to be exploited as tools of propaganda for the containment of dissent. At the same time, and often unpredictably, they functioned as agents of change and/or means of subversion.
A useful starting point for reassessing the role drama and other literary forms played in the early modern period may be found in Jürgen Habermas's concept of the public sphere as a site of debate ensuring the circulation of discourses that were central to the development of society. And yet, the varying modes of Early Modern transgression allow for a variety of other critical approaches which profitably engage with the social, political and religious dimensions of cultural representations.
It is within this broad and critically contentious field that we intend to explore the notions of crime and transgression in their manifold implications. An analysis of the debate on crime, transgression and subversion as discussed, performed and represented will hopefully provide fresh insights into the 'circulation of social energy' (Greenblatt) in early modern English culture.

How are you guys using Helix Launcher and BetterCut?
No one? I know there are plenty of people using Helix Launcher and BetterCut.
Very carefully?
I am not sure what the question is. You will need to be more specific if you want help, since you never stated a problem. Unfortunately I can't read people's minds at this point in my life, so I can't help you out without more information. I don't think there are many other people here with psychic abilities either.
Are you having problems with BC with Helix? If so, what ones? Are you up to date with your Helix Launcher (1.2 is in market, 1.3 is in donors area on his thread).
I have used BC a few times, currently am using it with Helix and no issues, although that doesn't mean they don't exist.
*Edit* Added a smilie face so it doesn't seem like I am angry. I am just very sarcastic, and a donkey (if you catch my drift). Not trying to stir up anything, just having a little fun. Please don't take my reply the wrong way.
Let me further explain. Im running Blackdroid 7.8 and trying to create shortcuts with custom icons with bettercut. Typically running bettercut, you would just open bettercut and click edit shortcut, change icon and be done. Well now with blackdroid and helix, I get this message when opening bettercut, and hitting edit shortcut. "unable to edit shortcuts for android home, if you are editing open home, you MUST install open home first. the easy solution is just to uninstall bettercut and then reinstall it (without uninstalling open home)
If i hit new shortcut, it says " It's much easier to create a bettercut directly from the home screen. To do that, long press an empty space on the Home screen (or press menu/add), choose "Shortcuts"> "bettercut", try that instead? yes, no
So i go to my home screen on helix launcher and long press, shortcut, bettercut and up pops the bettercut menu to "Choose a shortcut type". Now, for the life of me, can't figure out how to edit my icons with this menu.
This is where my question lies. How are you guys using Helix Launcher and BetterCut? I can't seem to get it to work.
I take it that the version of Helix Launcher that comes with Blackdroid is not compatible with BetterCut. Where do I donate to get 1.3?
Head over to xda.developers.com search for Helix Launcher and should lead you to the dev.
You have to make the icon out of the launcher panel (make it as a normal shortcut) then drag it down after you've made the icon how you like. You can't edit an icon once its in the bottom launcher tray
I would also download the market version of Helix
Hope that helps.
I had a little bit of trouble with this as well.
With bettercut, specifically editing icons; you are editing them on your HOME application. However, you don't go to home, you go to helixlauncher. Therefore, you need to long hold on felixlauncher, then create a shortcut, then activity and do what you have done before. Its a little bit more annoying, but its just the way it is!
See, when I try that, it doesnt change the icon. I choose the app, change icon, select the icon from the icon pack I have, click create, and nothing happens. It just goes back to the Menu. Do I have to have the donor version to do this?
I just downloaded HL and Better Cut. What I had to do to make mine work was clear off the shortcut icons on my home screens completely. I have a set of carbon fiber icons made by Matth3w that I wanted on the home screen.
Long press/shortcut/activities/(wait a while, there are quite a few activites to load up) then select the activity you want. It comes up with the opportunity to change the text under the icon, for example...my "Gallery" is now "Pics". Then hit create. I just finished doing this for about 26 custom icons on my screens, and although time consuming, it has worked well for me.
I hope this helps!
Also...I had originally hoped to change the icons in the launcher tray, but found out that it's not possible with Better Cut. It only allowed me to do that with PandaHome...which I no longer use.
That's exactly the process I am using, when I hit create, it does nothing. I'm using the market version of Helix. Would using the version of Helix that was included with Blackdroid enable bettercut to be used? or do I need the donor version of Helix?
Honestly...I'm not sure. I'm using AdamZ Smoked Glass v6.0.1, not Blackdroids ROM. I am using the Helix Launcher (red icon) from the market. It says Version 9 in the Apps Manager. And then using Better Cut. I can't understand why it's giving you grief...you're doing the same thing I am...and yet you're having no success, and I am. There were a couple times I found icons on other screens other than the one I wanted it on, but then I just dragged/dropped back to the correct screen.
I'm sorry...I was hoping that would help.

Werosys to showcase new products
Click on image to download high resolution version
At Labelexpo Europe 2017, Werosys (stand 9C24) will be showcasing its latest developments and launching a number of new products for the Werosys Compact line.
The Werosys Compact is now compatible with automated workflow solutions, offering a true digital finishing line with all set-up done electronically from one screen. This enables customers to produce labels from approved artwork to finished labels in a matter of minutes, as the digital finishing line reads all necessary information from the pdf-file, or similar, and automatically sets all stations, including the digital printer, laser die-cut and fully automatic slitting system.
To complement its two existing fully automatic slitting systems, Werosys will be launching a completely new automated slitting system, which it claims allows printers to make a fully automated setup possible at an affordable price.
Werosys will also be demonstrating a fully format-free label production with the combination of the digital print module and the laser die-cut module. The laser die-cut module uses ERP/MIS integration and powerful low noise smoke extraction. The high quality coherent laser source and digital laser power control ensures high cutting quality with clean edges. 330mm wide cutting area, small spot size, kiss-cut and through-cut capability, as well as marking and engraving functions.
Werosys will also launch and demonstrate a fully automated flexo printing module, where all manual adjustments have been removed for a true digital setup. The flexo module can be combined with any number of Compact modules to meet any requirement from a true digital finishing solution with UV varnish and cold foil, to a fully configured hybrid printing solution with a combination of flexo and digital printing.

Matthew McDonough: CEO of Babylon IDA at Copiague Commons affordable housing complex. || Photo by Judy WalkerHuntington Councilwomen Susan Berland and Tracey Edwards: Trying to make housing more affordable in places like Huntington Village. || Photo by Judy Walker
Faced with an increasingly strong demand and very weak supply of affordable rental housing, a couple of Long Island municipalities are enacting new laws to force developers to address the situation.
The movement comes at a time when Long Island is facing a rental crisis, namely that the cost for so-called affordable housing here does not reflect what many in the workforce can actually afford to pay.
The Town of Babylon Industrial Development Agency adopted a new policy this week that requires any new rental housing development that receives IDA benefits to set aside 20 percent of the apartments for residents earning up to 60 percent of the area median income (AMI). Based on current numbers, the affordable units would be available to one person earning no more than $44,600 a year; two people earning up to a total of $51,000 a year; three people earning up to $57,350 a year; or four people earning no more than a total of $63,700 annually.
Babylon's current housing policy also requires that 20 percent of new units be dedicated as affordable, but it allows prospective renters or buyers to earn up to 130 percent of the AMI. And like most towns with similar rules, Babylon lets developers avoid actually building the lower-priced units by paying into an affordability fund. The new IDA rule doesn't allow for that option.
Specifically, the IDA's new policy calls for rents of affordable apartments to be no greater than 70 percent of the fair market value for Nassau and Suffolk counties set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Based on current numbers, that means monthly rents for a one-bedroom apartment would be capped at about $1,075 and about $1,315 for a two-bedroom unit.
The IDA policy also allows for income levels of qualifying tenants to rise to 80 percent of the AMI at the time of recertification.
Matthew McDonough, CEO of the Babylon IDA, said the new policy was needed because the lack of affordable housing options on Long Island is having a negative effect on the business community struggling to retain their workforce or attract the talent needed for growth.
"Establishing this aggressive affordability policy will create housing options that actually reflect what the average worker can afford and we hope by doing this we set the stage for all future housing developments on Long Island," McDonough said in an IDA statement.
Kyle Strober, executive director for the Association of a Better Long Island, lauded the new housing policy and hopes it will serve as a regional model.
"The Babylon IDA continues to recognize that programs that encourage affordable housing on Long Island are key to attracting young professional workers back to Long Island and thereby reverse the brain drain," Strober said via email.
The IDA policy was crafted in collaboration with the Long Island Housing Partnership, which has long advocated for increasing the area's affordable housing stock. Peter Elkowitz, LIHP's CEO, called the IDA policy commendable.
"The IDA benefits are a subsidy to create more affordable housing," Elkowitz said. "So I think that's a real good thing and there's some consistency as well."
And while developers often tout new housing as "affordable" or attach a "workforce" label to their projects, what is actually affordable depends on a variety of factors, such as location, income, rents and product.
Elkowitz points out that the affordable term is a very relative one.
"Affordable for whom? What part of the population?" he asks. "Your affordability is different from mine which is different for someone else.
We all don't have the same affordability and that's where this becomes convoluted and confusing."
Elkowitz said you have to look at what incomes you are making the housing affordable for and how it affects the income the developer can expect from the project.
"And that's really critical," he said. "The developer is going to have someone manage the units and he has to know what the rent rolls are going to be to maintain the development."
Theoretically, Elkowitz said that the profit from a project's market-rate units should help subsidize the affordable portion, but acknowledges that the numbers still need to add up.
"If it's not financial feasible for the developer, it's not going to help anybody," he said.
Even though almost all mandates that require new developments to have an affordable component come with a reciprocal density bonus, the sharp reduction in rent revenue makes it nearly impossible to build them without some kind of economic incentives.
Mitchell Pally, executive director of Long Island Builders Institute, says you need government subsidies to make it work.
"Especially at the lower numbers," Pally said. "Or you need a significant number of additional units and in most cases that's not possible on the site, or very difficult from a political standpoint, so you've got to provide government subsidies to make it work."
Besides working with the Babylon IDA on its new rental housing policy, Pally also consulted with Town of Huntington officials on the town's new affordable housing legislation it adopted this week.
Co-sponsored by Huntington Town Board members Tracey Edwards and Susan Berland, the measure requires that 20 percent of apartments constructed in commercial district mixed-use buildings be designated as affordable. The initiative came in response to a spate of pricey new rental units built over stores in Huntington Village, where many of the apartments fetch more than $3,000 a month.
"Huntington Village is a happening place with great restaurants and entertainment and wonderful shops," Edwards said. "That's where our young people want to live. But currently the market rate has priced them out."
The monthly rents in the required reduced-rate apartments in Huntington will be capped at 80 percent of the area's fair market rent, which would set them at about $1,225 for a one-bedroom and $1,500 for a two-bedroom unit. The Huntington legislation also keeps developers from "cheaping out" on the affordable apartments, which have to be the same square-footage and same quality of the market-rate units within the development.
To make the new affordable requirements more palatable to builders, the town won't charge any fees for the lower-priced units and limits the required parking to one off-street spot per apartment.
Like Babylon, Huntington already has a law that forces new housing to have 20 percent of its units affordably priced, but only if the project gets a zoning change. Berland, who helped draft the town code that allowed for apartments over stores nearly a decade ago, said developers skirted the law because their mixed-use projects didn't need a zoning change.
"It defeated the purpose," Berland said. "It's especially important for young people to live in a walkable community and it's important to have an affordable component, so we had to legislate it."
Just how big is the demand for affordable housing on Long Island? A look at the new 90-unit Copiague Commons apartment complex is a prime example. After a lottery for applicants filled the available units – with monthly rents between $1,400 and $1,800–there are still more than 850 people on a waiting list.
"We're over-subscribed by more than six to one in applications for the number of units we built," said Arthur Crower, senior project director for the Long Island region for Conifer Realty, which partnered with the Community Development Corporation of Long Island to build Copiague Commons.
For-profit Conifer has nearly 900 affordable apartment units completed or in the pipeline on Long Island and is awaiting approvals for 228 more in the Village of Hempstead. The company depends on federal, state and local tax credits which it sells to banks and other institutions to finance its projects. The public subsidies are essential, Crower says, in developing affordable housing.
"In the end, the gaps that will be created, because we can't charge market rents, are so substantial that there's no functional way to drive profit without some kind of public sector support to be able to do that job," Crower said, which is why he strongly supports the efforts of local governments like Babylon and Huntington to mandate affordable rental units.
"The bottom line is, in areas where rents have gone through the roof, you need a workforce who can't afford $600,000 homes. In order to maintain a healthy economy you need economically diverse housing opportunities, and Long Island does not have them," Crower said. "These legislative initiatives are critical to communities being vibrant. The irony is, for people who oppose the concept of affordable housing, affordable housing in the end is better for property values. Because in the end, you're actually able to support the population that's going to serve all of your local business interests. And by and large they're going to live and work in the areas which they're built and stronger local economies mean better property values. It's just that simple."

Alexander Hawkins | Louis Moholo-Moholo
Keep Your Heart Straight
Ogun : 2012
AH, piano; LMM, drums.
We are incredibly pleased and honored to host the following guest post, penned by British pianist and composer Alexander Hawkins, on the occasion of his recent Ogun release, Keep Your Heart Straight, a duet record with the inimitable Louis Moholo-Moholo. The last surviving member of the legendary South African Blue Notes, Moholo brings an unbelievably rich and varied arsenal of approaches to his drum kit. Hawkins is ideally situated to comment on what it's like to share the bandstand with a monster improviser; please, take it away, Alex!
The first time I ever played with Louis Moholo-Moholo, I hadn't in fact met him until I stepped onto the stand. It was at the kind invitation of Evan Parker that I was subbing for Steve Beresford in the Foxes Fox quartet. I had worked with John and Evan before; but Louis had absolutely no idea who I was. He greeted me with a slightly puzzled nod as I got up to join what would have been, let's face it, a cracker of a trio. I was relieved to get that nod of recognition: because, as anyone who has had the honour will tell you, the only look you get on stage when the music is playing is ferocious at the best of times. For a nervous 20-whatever-year-old, that look would probably have finished me off.
Of course it's too easily done to romanticize these things, but what the stare does illustrate for me is that the music is a serious business. That's not to make any comment about humour in music; but it is to make a comment about playing music with complete commitment and sincerity at all times. We got talking about this somehow in the car on the way to the recording studio once, and Louis put it in simple terms: back in South Africa, he could get thrown in prison overnight for being in the 'wrong' part of town to play a gig (he has many stories; for example, of suffering the ignominy of having to prove he was a musician –- and thus account for why he was in a certain neighbourhood one evening –- by having to drum some rhythms on the counter at the police station). But music provided his ticket out of South Africa, as well as his voice and platform once in exile: it is not something to be taken lightly or for granted. I guess then it's no surprise that I get so much from Louis' music: if there's any relationship between what the creator puts in and what the listener takes away, it couldn't be any other way.
At any rate, the second time I got to play with Louis was almost a year after this first occasion, when I was in the audience to hear his "Uni" at London's Vortex. He came up to me in the break between sets, clapped his hand around my shoulder and apologized for not getting my phone number, and asked if I'd like to join the guys for the second set; and it's been my privilege to play with maestro regularly on his visits back to the Europe since this time. I'm not sure I can really begin to convey how much of an inspiration Louis' music has been to me over the years, but it's a real pleasure here to share some thoughts with you here, and of course, thanks so much to the folks at Destination: Out for the opportunity.
In some way, Louis reminds me of someone like Sonny Rollins: the Sonnys of 1957/1967/1977 (and so on) sound really very different, and yet – are you ever in even a split second's doubt who is playing the moment the music starts? I can think of Louis' career in terms of changing sounds at the kit. I first heard him on the very early Blue Notes material, and was immediately gripped by the "big beat:" even though there's a definite hard bop vibe to proceedings, there's a lope to his groove that I also hear in Sid Catlett or especially (and this is no doubt also due to Chris McGregor's Ellingtonian angle) Sonny Greer. Ordinarily, it'd be great to illustrate this with a full track of music: but instead, how about this, just for the extreme rarity of the seeing moving footage of the Blue Notes?
At later times, when I think of Louis, I hear him through that extraordinary fluttered bass drum – although I'm not sure that the "fluttering" idiom quite captures the fullness of the sound as he corralled the Brotherhood (and by the way: surely this band is one of the most intoxicating collisions ever of groove with joyful chaos). On other occasions, by contrast, I'm hearing the crackle of his snare drum (LOOK OUT when he starts to play those marching tattoo patterns) – and I often think that the only other drummer I've ever heard really get that sound out of a snare is Roy Haynes. Sometimes, though, Louis' ride cymbal is the one that gets me:
He has an extraordinary range of denseness, too. Listen to the trios with Harry Miller and Brötzmann, or Mike Osborne, or to passages on the wonderful recent release Spiritual Knowledge and Grace, featuring the then-Blue Notes minus Chris McGregor, but plus Frank Wright, there is an amazing exhilaration at the sheer barrage he can muster. As a player listening to these, I'm torn between being intimidated at the prospect of a steamrolling, and an exhilarating feeling of "who could not play on that?" But listen to Louis at other times, and the parsimony of his playing is astonishing -– he's truly Monk-like in his ability to play nothing other than the essence of what is needed. I remember a sensation from that first gig with Louis, which is something which has recurred on so many occasions subsequently -– the band was really driving, and I suddenly realised that he was not playing a thing. He can steer a band by not playing -– and in that respect also, I hear a similarity with Monk. At other times, he will play with extreme intensity, but at very low dynamic levels: meaning that when he does fire off one of the whip cracks on the snare drum, the impact is magnified all the more.
At such times, it's like you can see him stalking the snare drum (though it's often the crash, too) for seemingly minutes before the punctuation actually comes. When it does, there's an amazing sensation that the hit was at once utterly unpredictable, and the only thing which could possibly have happened at that moment. (For me personally, I'd contrast something I often hear in Misha Mengelberg's playing, where there's a beauty in the fact that what happens is completely unpredictable, and it definitely doesn't have the feeling of inevitability.) I think part of the explanation for balance between the unpredictable and the inevitable is that Louis is a true improviser: the moment is everything, and anything else would be something less than fully sincere (that first track title from the stunning duo album with Marilyn Crispell, Sibanye, is no accident: "Improvise, Don't Compromise").
I think another paradox occurs "scaled up" in Louis' playing. What I mean is that he is undoubtedly one of the most supportive drummers imaginable. And yet at the same time, he can up the ante, and push and challenge the band like no one else.
This talk of drumming qua drumming is only part of his vocabulary. He is also a master of colour. One of the most wonderful examples for me is an album on the Incus label with Derek Bailey and Louis' compatriot, Thebe Lipere, on percussion: Village Life. I think it's a record which really highlights the similarities in soundworld between the European "non-idiomatic" improvisers and the AACM (another which sets me thinking along the same lines is the classic Karyobin) – and in this light, little surprise to hear Braxton and Wadada on those early Company sessions. Speaking of Wadada, there is of course a duo recording being released almost as we speak: their affinities, in terms of acute timbral and textural awareness, as well as a love of silence, are clear. Listen to the track "Moholo-Moholo: Golden Spirit" to hear the big beat coupled with the wide open spaces to spectacular effect.
Wadada Leo Smith | Louis Moholo-Moholo
I mentioned Sonny Greer earlier. Jimmy Blanton/Sonny Greer; Walter Page/Jo Jones; Paul Chambers/Philly Jo Jones; Ron Carter/Tony Williams; Jimmy Garrison/Elvin Jones: in this canon of the great bass/drum teams, Louis appears at least twice: the hookups with both Johnny Dyani and Harry Miller are both undeniably classic. As with all of these rhythm sections, everyone will have their favourite records: the one I can't get over is Louis and Johnny together on Blue Notes in Concert. Listen to "We Nduna" -– that's the crackle I'm talking about on the snare drum. But the chemistry between Dyani's mile-wide beat and huge sound, and Louis' martial polyrhythms is the real thing: and, by the way, how can a rhythm section sit in such a pocket, and still move forward so inexorably? Or lilt and strut at the same?
But I guess these are essentially specifics. I think probably the biggest lesson I've learned from Louis has just been about what it means to be free with music: and when a South African of his generation talks about freedom, an English guy of my generation had better listen. We were in the studio and the engineer, himself a drummer, was asking Louis how come he made music like he did – we'd already played for a couple of hours, and put down a series of open improvisations, but also some Ellington (one for Chris), and some old South African melodies – so how come the variety? It was simple, really. Freedom was not freedom "from" a certain set of musical norms, but instead freedom "to" play whatever we felt like (an idea also familiar, of course, from the AACM). If we want to play "Prelude to a Kiss," we're not playing free music if we refrain because it's a tune with chord changes. At that point, I reminded him of one of the first emails he'd sent me when we were planning the record. I'd asked him what tunes he might want to play. There was no direct answer, but he did sign off, "Keep Your Heart Straight – Louis." I asked him if this was what he meant – that we just needed to play what we felt like; and we both then knew that we had the title for the record.
We thank Alexander for his invaluable contribution, Hazel Miller of Ogun for permission to use the track above, and encourage all comers to purchase the Hawkins/Moholo record at the musical purveyor of your choice. Some suggestions: Dusty Groove; DMG; SquidCo.
Next up @ D:O: an FMP release/post featuring an album supported by Harry Miller and Louis Moholo. Stay tuned…

text: We have this thread: Best energy usage at high speeds and it's confirmed what I've thought: it's easier to maximize range on the highway. Now there's a lot of reasons for this (constant speed, higher speeds so more distance covered, drafting etc), but what about at low speeds? For example, heading out to work or the restaurants (20 mins away, but only partially highway) I see really high usage. The roads are all 30-45MPH areas, and I've yet to master a way of being really efficient in this. So what are some tips? Do you creep off from lights? Heavy regen to lights? How about hilly areas at these lower speeds? Accelerate before and at the bottom of the hill to use less energy to crest it? Slowly putt putt up the hill (wouldn't that use more energy)?

Dolores Pumped-Storage Unit—A Case Study in Planningby Jack D. Generaux, US Bureau of Reclamation, Durango, CO, USA,
W. Martin R. Roche, US Bureau of Reclamation, Durango, CO, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Waterpower '85
The Durango Projects Office of the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) conducted a pumped-storage investigation from 1981 to 1983 on a site in southwestern Colorado. This paper describes the results of the investigation of the Dolores Pumped-Storage Unit, a component of the Colorado River Storage Project Power Peaking Capacity Studies. The investigation examined the structural alternatives and the environmental and social impacts of building a power facility in the vicinity of another Reclamation project, the Dolores Project. Reclamation has decided that further studies of the pumped-storage unit by the Federal government are not warranted because additional peaking power capacity is not needed for federal project use.
