1. Last time you were here you described your heat level as extremely spicy, like "Serrano peppers vs. jalapenos." What is your favorite thing about writing spicy stories?
I love the fact I don't have to hold back. My characters can go wherever they want–and they do!
2. Where did you get the inspiration for your new release?
I wrote five stories in my Delta Heat series revolving around five men who were Memphis PD cops. Along the way, two firefighters entered into the sexy play with my cops. It was natural to branch off and follow the guys at Firehouse 69. I still have stories to tell...
3. What is your favorite series to work on? Are you planning any new series?
Delta Heat is my favorite sexy series, but my first love is paranormal. I wrote a red-hot series The Dark Realm, set in New Orleans and filled with otherworld creatures. They were a kinky bunch and I took them to Hell, well, the Land of the Dead, anyway!
4. What are you reading now, or what books do you have in your TBR pile?
Most of what I'm reading right now is mythology and occult books—spellcraft, Norse lore, as I prepare to write the next in my Beau Rêve Coven series.
5. What are you working on now?
I'm finishing up edits on my next collection of erotic short stories, In Vikings' Arms for Cleis Press.

When a roof collapse kills his best friend and his girlfriend clears out his apartment and leaves, firefighter John Cooper knows he shouldn't sit alone in his empty apartment. But when he accepts an invitation to Club LaForge, his feet get colder with every step he takes inside.
The sights, sounds and smells of the BDSM club make him sweat, and not because he's turned off. Yet he can't bring himself to admit—to himself, or to his luscious guide, Moira—that this lifestyle might just be what he needs.
An experienced BDSM trainer, Moira senses that Coop is not only a Dom in the making, but exactly what she's been looking for. A man to be her lover and her Dom. The only problem is, Coop isn't looking for anything complicated.
Moira's willing to start slow and easy, but even once there's enough trust to bring Coop into her world—and to her Dom—she's still worried he'll look for the nearest exit.
Warning: Do you smell smoke? Don't worry, it's just a hot and sexy firefighter getting down and dirty. Contains BDSM scenes, ropes, floggers, some spanking, some sharing, and some five-alarm sex.

Discussion in 'News' started by UAV Man, Oct 2, 2016.
People please view and respond accordingly before we all get royally fu&*ed!!
This has been around for a while now.
My own personal view is by the time EASA actually can get agreement between themselves and member states and all the arguing backwards and forwards has occured we will actually be out of Europe and the CAA will take a far more pragmatic approach and view.
Article 50 is now slated for March next year with exit by 2019.
It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Brussels were still arguing about what to call the new regulations let alone what's contained in them. - We are talking EuroMP cretins here.
What I DO think will happen is there will be a tightening of regs for non PFAW/PfCO holders (maybe limits to 150m) but the regs for commercially trained operators will remain pretty much as they are.
I'm sure transponders will become the norm but don't forget ATC will have to integrate all these pesky UAV's into the NAS. Couple that with the likes of Amazon and DHL activity which will all need regulating and I believe we will be clear of meddling Brussels by the time the 'You can't sell straight bananas' brigade has control.
Only my opinion but the CAA has previously shown great common sense in our UAV laws and the Air Navigation Order.
MMm. Agree that this is not new and that the whole thing will take years and by that time UAVs will be called something else.
Disagree on the european side. CAA(local NAA) can do anything re: UAVs irrespective of European legislation. It will make no difference even if we Brexit.
You'd better hope they don't start trying to regulate sticks - then you'll be I trouble.
To be fair not going to be my issue soon, I'll have the UAE regulations to follow.... i.e. Keep the right people sweet
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
....although thinking Canada is the place to be, hear the regs are less strict so I can use my stick without the fun police busting my balls!!
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Nope Canada is overly regulated and without a Special Flight Operations Certificate you can only fly recreational if you are 5 miles from multi building areas or roads or railroads or hi ways. 9 miles from any airstrip
..so really no where legally without Liability insurance and an SFOC. And anyone who says it is different if you are less than 2KG had not read all of the exemption regulations. There is no legal recreation flying anywhere but a remote farm. My suggestion is have every UAV (less than 5KG) flyer get online information tested and then get a flight test with their drone and get "license" abiding by all the rules for recreation or business. And have the license include the liability for $250,000 so public is safe.
Thanks KR worth noting, I think I'm going to have to buy an Island at this rate...

These delicious slices are filled with festive flavour and are great little treats for parties and family gatherings. They are so simple and quick to make, which is just what you want this time of year. The crunchy ginger topping packs a spicey punch which you can adjust depending on your taste. This recipe is based on a 'Lazy Daisy' cake, which is an old recipe from the 1940s that uses hot milk to make the cake. It is usually topped with coconut, but I changed it to fit the season.
I started by heating 120ml Blue Diamond Almond Breeze and 15g butter in a pan.
I used Blue Diamond Almond Breeze again after being sent some recently and using it in my Mulled Wine Cupcakes. I have recently been having trouble with cow's milk so I was really interested to try out almond milk. It comes in three varieties; original, unsweetened, and chocolate. I've only tried the original
variety so far, but it tastes really nice. It's also very low in calories and perfect for anyone on a diary free or vegan diet. You can use it just like regular milk in baking, or when making soups, sauces and hot drinks.
In a bowl I whisked together 2 eggs until frothy. I gradually added 200g caster sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
I then added the zest and juice of one orange and whisked in.
In a bowl I weighed out 160g plain flour, 1 tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt. I added it to the mixture and stirred until just mixed. Finally I poured in the hot milk mixture, stirred in, and poured into a lined tin.
I baked on 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4 for about 25 minutes until golden.
To make the topping I melted 110g brown sugar, 45g butter, 2 tbsp Blue Diamond Almond Breeze and 2 tsp ginger (add more or less depending on your taste).
Pour the mixture over the cake, then pop it under the grill for about 3 minutes until it bubbles all over. Leave to cool, then slice and serve!
These Orange & Ginger Slices were a huge hit in my office, the only thing I would change is to double to recipe next time! They are really light and moist, and the ginger topping has just the right amount of spice for that festive kick. It's a very versatile recipe too so you can change the flavours depending on the season. It would be great with other citrus fruits and spices.
- 120ml + 2 tbsp Almond Milk
- 60g Butter
- 2 Eggs
- 200g Caster sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 Orange
- 160g Plain flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- A pinch of Salt
- 110g Light brown sugar
- 2 tsp Ground ginger

Ratan Tata on Tuesday held talks with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley as bitter boardroom battle continues to rage following the ouster of Tata Sons Chairman Cyrus Mistry. Tata, who had earlier written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi informing the latter about changes in the group, met Jaitley for over 30 minutes. Tata has reportedly sought meetings with PM Modi. However, 78-year-old businessman refused to comment on the discussion with Jaitley, who also heads the Corporate Affairs Minister. "I am very uncomfortable talking," Tata said, after the 30-minute meeting. The government has so far stayed away of commenting on Tata Chairman row calling it an internal affair of Tata Sons. Tata-Jaitley meeting comes amid escalation of feud between the Tata Group patriarch and his estranged successor.
In a curious turn of events, while independent directors of a host of Tata companies have come out in support of Mistry, Tata Sons has called for a shareholders' meeting in five firms — Indian Hotels, Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Tata Chemicals and Tata Consultancy Services — seeking his removal from their boards.

— TIMES NOW (@TimesNow) November 15, 2016
Mistry, 48, was removed as chairman of Tata Sons in October with the holding company saying he had lost the confidence of the board due to several factors, and that trustees were increasingly concerned with the growing trust deficit.

NEW YORK — CBS Corp. posted superb second-quarter results Monday as the TV network continues to gather steam and revenues mount at the company's radio and billboard business, Infinity Broadcasting.
Lower operating and programming costs were also a factor as net income jumped to $95 million for the period ended in June from a loss of $4 million the year before.
Revenue rose 13% to $1.7 billion.
CBS doesn't break out the network in its numbers, but revenue at the TV division — which also includes broadcast stations — rose 5.3% to $927 million. One analyst estimated that the network's cash flow exceeded $20 million and sees it swinging to a full-year profit of $65 million from a loss of $110 million in 1998.
"The gains made in our television segment were dramatic," said CBS CEO Mel Karmazin, with cash flow growth of 81% "and the first network primetime win in five years."
No. 1 for year
CBS recently finished No. 1 in the Nielsen full-year ratings. Also, the company renewed its contract with TV chief Les Moonves last week.
Karmazin and chief financial officer Fred Reynolds said CBS spots for the network's NFL coverage are nearly all sold, pacing two months ahead of last year. Scatter prices in general are very strong, the execs said, after CBS sold about 80% of its primetime inventory in the upfront market.
CBS said its profit figures include a one-time gain of $18 million from the sale of the remaining assets of Westinghouse Electric, CBS's most recent incarnation before it became a pure media company.
CBS broke out its cable operations as a separate business for the first time this quarter. Revenue at the unit — which includes the Nashville Network and Country Music Television — rose 4% to $156 million.
Reduced interest
CBS noted that its net interest expense dropped to $46 million for the quarter from $85 million as proceeds from the initial public offering of Infinity Broadcasting late last year allowed the parent company to pay down debt.
CBS also said that, during the quarter, it benefited to the tune of $24 million from a reduced need for certain restructuring charges previously recorded for the TV segment. That was due to changes in programming decisions as well as higher voluntary employee terminations that reduced expected severance payments.
Quarterly numbers included a $24 million provision for losses associated with the financial travails of Spanish and Portuguese-language cable news network, CBS Telenoticias, which just declared bankruptcy. CBS recently sold a majority stake in the network to Grupo Medcom of Mexico.
The company made several key deals during the quarter that will continue to fuel growth. CBS agreed to acquire leading TV syndicator King World Prods. for $2.5 billion in stock, and Infinity agreed to buy Outdoor Systems for $8.7 billion. Those deals should close, respectively, in the third and fourth quarters.
Buys stations
CBS also inked deals to buy two TV stations in Texas and continues to take stakes in online companies in exchange for advertising and promotion. Karmazin said during a conference call that CBS plans to appoint a new head of its Internet division by Labor Day.
Kamazin said he's optimistic the Federal Communications Commission will opt to relax rules restricting ownership of TV and radio stations in individual markets. The FCC has scheduled a key meeting Thursday.
CBS's stock bucked a negative market, rising 94¢ to close at $44.87.

Are you using your data to its fullest? This checklist will help you evaluate your existing automotive asset management strategy to ensure you're getting the most out of your data.
The modern automotive industry is generating enormous volumes of manufacturing data every day. This creates a huge opportunity to leverage and apply that data in the existing industrial environment.
By analyzing this data, automakers can drive significant improvements in two critical areas: the initial production of their vehicles and the reliability of vehicles over their lifetimes. By using cognitive analytics to help predict part failure, it isn't unusual to see results such as:
In today's digital business landscape, data is fragmented and scattered across various systems. Pulling all this data together is a significant challenge, and with businesses constantly implementing new data sources, cloud environments and other systems, integration complexities are multiplying quickly.
Enterprises have traditionally resorted to APIs to solve the point-to-point integration problems, but data scientists and data engineers have lost access to the raw tabular data and thus to analytics/BI. Data connectivity drivers (such as ODBC and JDBC connectors) effectively act as data APIs, enabling businesses to solve this unique challenge of exposing data for BI tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Qlik, Cognos, etc.
With Progress® OpenEdge® and Progress Application Server (PAS) for OpenEdge, Infor is able to rapidly develop and evolve a modern application that scales and extends across any channel on a secure and trusted code base for wholesale and manufacturing customers.

Chatbots have emerged as a great option for providing a 24/7 self-service solution to address a host of customer support requirements. They enable customers to get their questions answered in real-time and they free up support staff from having to field high volumes of repetitive inquiries. And with advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, chatbots are becoming extremely effective at providing a cognitive and conversational experience that your customers will love.
As chatbot adoption has increased, various types have entered the market to address different requirements. For example, chatbots built for specific B2C or B2B support use cases, called transactional bots, are very different from those built for more wide-ranging applications, referred to as knowledge bots. This paper examines five key differences between these two chatbot types and their fit for addressing customer self-service needs.
Mainframes continue to play a key role in data storage for business-critical applications that can't have downtime. However, today's challenge is to safely access mainframe data for use across the enterprise, in custom applications, webpages and off-the-shelf app integration. That requires modernizing data access to IBM DB2 for z/OS.
Read this whitepaper to learn:
It's moving day! As a system administrator with classic AppServer applications, it's time for you to move those applications to a production staging instance of the Progress Application Server for OpenEdge (PAS for OpenEdge) for testing. This guide will get your applications running on the new server and your clients connected. After completing the steps in this guide, review the Next steps section, where you will find additional links for modernizing, securing and tuning your new server for production.
REST APIs have become increasingly popular for accessing enterprise data from web and mobile applications. But are REST APIs good enough? You still need a different client codebase for every REST API in use, which can quickly become a technical burden.
This guide is primarily intended for OpenEdge application developers and system administrators who have installed 11.7.3 as the most recent Service Pack for Release 11.7.
This infographic summarizes Forrester's findings in terms of benefits & ROI that two OpenEdge application partners experienced when upgrading to OpenEdge 11.7. Forrester found that the model organization experienced an ROI of 375% with an 8-month payback.

An open letter to the Russellville City Council:
We have no reason to think that you read The Arka Tech. If, however, a copy of this finds its way to any of you aldermen, we have a request to make. On second thought, let's make it a plea:
Build the sidewalk.
Of course, we are talking about the proposed sidewalk leading from campus to Vista Place apartments. The project has been the topic of a great deal of discussion. Isn't it time for some action?
Our readers may remember a front page story in this newspaper, back in October, about plans for the project. Now, some four months or so later, a bit of progress, but only a bit, has been made.
A hearing was held Tuesday evening to gather public comment on the proposal. We hope city officials paid close attention to our president, Dr. Robin Bowen, who spoke of the safety concerns for those students who make a regular journey on foot or on bike from Vista Place to our campus.
We urge you to note that we are not talking about a handful of students. Right now Tech leases 248 beds at Vista Place, and that number will rise to 288 this fall.
Add the number of students in non-Tech housing that live in the same neighborhood and clearly we are talking about a number of students who find themselves potentially in harm's way every time they make that journey to class.
Bowen said at the hearing that she does not want to ever have to call parents to tell them their child has been injured.
We should also point out to you that Bowen said much the same thing earlier this semester. In meetings with faculty and staff members before classes began for this spring semester, she noted the importance of the project and her concern for the safety of our students.
Yes, we understand concerns of property owners along the route. We do not take those concerns lightly. We understand drainage issues and all the other concerns that have been addressed. But as all of you who serve on the city council might guess, we consider the safety of our fellow students to be of primary concern.
As aldermen, we know you need to approve the plans, whichever final shape or form they may take, for actual construction to begin.
So how about this? Let's not put this matter off any longer. How about placing the project on your Feb. 18 agenda? Yes, we also know you have many issues facing you on a regular basis.
But this issue, the safety of our students (and your students as well, when you think about it), needs to be addressed with the sense of urgency it deserves.
We need to move past the talking stage as quickly as possible because we believe the sidewalk is absolutely essential for the safety of our students.
It is time to build the sidewalk.

Are there other Sky Wheels to take after Chongqing Amusement Park?
2017-10-12 09:35:14
Sky Wheel at Chongqing Amusement Park is part of the city memory of many people.
CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The "retirement" of the Sky Wheel at Chongqing Amusement Park arouses a heated discussion among the people. In Chongqing, people have many other choices after it closes.
There are four Sky Wheels in urban Chongqing. They are located at Chongqing Amusement Park, Happy Valley, Shengming World Trade & Universal City and the Olympic Sports Center. Except for the one at the Olympic Sports Center, the others are middle- and large-sized Sky Wheels in excess of 30m. Despite the single rotation mode, people can still see different views during the rotation.
On July 8, the Sky Wheel at Chongqing Happy Valley, the Chongqing Eye was opened to the public. This 120m high Sky Wheel has 48 compartments, each with room for six people. It takes 23 minutes for a complete rotation. It is the highest Sky Wheel in China and the sixth highest in the world. To offer the best views of Chongqing to visitors, every compartment is equipped with an air conditioner to allow the visitors more comfort to enjoy the fine views in both winter and summer.
The opening of Shengming World Trade & Universal City on September 27 brought people the first show of the Sky Wheel located in it. People could have a panoramic view of the Jialing and Yangtze Rivers on the Sky Wheel.
The manager of Chongqing Amusement Park said that "The true value of a Sky Wheel for a city is not merely limited to the economic value. Every city has a Sky Wheel, such as the Paris, Tokyo, Washington and Hong Kong, or some local cities. Sky Wheel, jet coaster and merry-go-round are three representative events at amusement park. Sky Wheel represents the amusement park and makes the park perfect."
The manager also explained that every year, many activities, such as blind date, courtship ritual, ornamental plant bonsai exhibition, auto show and tea party, would be convened in front of the Sky Wheel at Chongqing Amusement Park. Sky Wheel cannot be replaced by any one of the other facilities in the amusement park because of its symbolic significance to love and a city. Sky Wheel is not merely a recreation facility, but also a symbol of the amusement park. (Translated by Xu Mengmiao, Fathom Language Limited)

I'm obsessed with all things New York. I've never been there, not yet, but I will, in God's perfect time. In the meantime, I tour (my eyes) around the City of Dreams with the help of Kevin Wong, a nineteen year old photographer from Hong Kong. He is currently residing in New York and is taking up architecture at The New School.
(Photos Source)
Kevin has that natural spark with skylines. Their chemistry is just perfect that when he starts to hit the shutter button of his Nikon D800E, the world becomes even more beautiful than it already is.
He gives his all in every shot, resulting to such strong images that will make you want to look more than twice.
Aside from taking beautiful photos, Kevin also spends his free time playing sports, reading and writing non-fiction, and poetry.
He hasn't taken up any course in photography, which is crazy. It's crazy how he is able to produce such clever photos. They are so distinct, sharp and crisp that you cannot help but say "AAAHH" when they appear on your feed. I cannot. It comes out as a surprise every morning, and my day is made.
He sees so much beauty in every object and he is able to bring it out in his photos. He is able to make natural moments exciting, and every capture is a perfect moment. There's just so much to appreciate in every photo, and this might be too much, but looking at them brings hope. I'll always be glad that I have stumbled upon his work.
I like taking exciting photos of natural moments that happen on a daily basis. I love capturing the 'perfect moment'; when a stranger walking in the center of a photograph, or when the clouds turn bright pink for a few minutes during sunsets. I also like to have fun with perspectives and reflections, that might confuse the viewer of the photograph for a second or two, before he or she realizes how the shot was taken.

30th Anniversary
It's been thirty years since Darmstadt citizens founded the Wedding Tower Promotion Society and contributed with their commitment to the conservation and continued use of this symbol of Darmstadt.
To mark the occasion, an exhibition was held Nov 20 – 30 2012 in the KundenCenter Sparkasse Darmstadt. On large picture boards and through video clips events of past years were presented.

Subsequent to all students' enrollment the Keystone test is given at the beginning of the school year, mid-year and a third time at the close of the school year. These assessment results are used as formative assessments that help with course selection, tier intervention and the guidance of instruction and goals.
Students are also on occasion given the San Diego Quick to further measure a student's recognition of words out of context as needed. Generally, proficient readers read as accurately both in and out of context. This test consists of 13 graded word lists from pre-primer to eleventh grade. The words within each list are of about equal difficulty.
In July of each coming school year identified students are given the California English Language Development Test (CELDT). Students in kindergarten through grade twelve whose home language is not English are required by law to be assessed in English language proficiency (ELP). In California, the ELP assessment is the CELDT. The results from the CELDT test allows GHSA to identify students who need to improve their skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English. GHSA also gives the CELDT test each year to students who are still learning English, until they are re-designated. The CELDT-CalEdFacts page provides a more detailed overview of the test.
All students with Special Needs are assessed based on their Annual and Tri-annual Individual Education Plans (IEPs).These tests include but are not limited to the Woodcock Johnson, Brigance Assessment and other tests that identify various learning disabilities. All GHSA students with special needs have their accommodations and modifications built into their CAASPP testing through TOMS (Test Operations Management System).
All 7th grade students enrolled in Grace Hopper take the Physical Fitness Test each year. The physical fitness test (PFT) for students in California schools is the FITNESSGRAM®. The main goal of the test is to help students in starting life-long habits of regular physical activity. The test has six parts that show a level of fitness that offer a degree of defense against diseases that come from inactivity. The test results can be used by students, teachers, and parents. The PFT - CalEdFacts page provides a more detailed overview of the test.
All 8th grade students enrolled in Grace Hopper currently take the paper-and-pencil California Standard Test in Science. During the transition to new science assessments, the 2014–15 CAASPP System encompasses federally required science assessments in grades 5, 8, and 10. Information is provided about the content, types of questions, participation criteria, and other key targeted resources to assist with understanding the scope and requirements of these science assessments on the California Department of Education site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/caasppscience.asp.
Although this is the first year that testing in the state of CA will begin to show student progress, it will not be the first year for Grace Hopper STEM Academy. Grace Hopper has volunteered the past two years to test students with the Smarter Balance Tests in English and in math understanding that the more often students are exposed test environments, the more acclimated they become. All CAASPP testing at GHSA is typically calendared during the entire month of May.

Origins of Mind: Philosophical Issues in Cognitive Development (PH357)
Timing & CATS
This module is not running in 2017-18.
Module Description
How do humans come to know about objects, causes, words, numbers, colours, actions and minds? We will attempt to answer this question using a range of conceptual tools from philosophy to examine puzzles arising from some recent scientific breakthroughs. The question, which goes back to Plato or earlier, is challenging because it requires us to consider minds where knowledge is neither clearly present nor obviously absent. This is challenging because, as Donald Davidson observes, '[w]e have many vocabularies for describing nature when we regard it as mindless, and we have a mentalistic vocabulary for describing thought and intentional action; what we lack is a way of describing what is in between' (1999, p. 11).
Two recent scientific breakthroughs may bring us closer to answering the question about how knowledge emerges while also showing that it raises even more puzzles than previously assumed. The first breakthrough concerns social interaction; it is the discovery that preverbal infants enjoy surprisingly rich social abilities which enable them to engage in some forms of social interaction. We will consider how this could facilitate the subsequent acquisition of linguistic abilities and enable the emergence of knowledge. A second breakthrough involves the use of increasingly sensitive---and sometimes controversial---methods to detect expectations without relying on subjects' abilities to talk. These methods have revealed that preverbal infants have sophisticated expectations about causal interactions, numerosity, actions, mental states and more besides. We will explore how these expectations, or the representations and processes underpinning them, could also facilitate the emergence of knowledge. The two scientific breakthroughs are associated with different camps, one Vygotskian, the other nativist. Perhaps for this reason the breakthrough findings have rarely been considered together as identifying twin factors enabling the emergence of knowledge. In this module we will attempt to unite these in a single story about the developmental origins of mind.
Learning Outcomes or Aims
By the end of the module the student should be able to....
- Understand and accurately report relevant findings from developmental psychology. They should be able to distinguish conflicting hypotheses and critically consider evidence for and against. Students should be able to identify philosophical questions arising from such findings, and to relate them to longstanding issues in philosophy.
- Communicate clearly and substantively in speech and in writing on the questions addressed in the module.
- Isolate the important claims within readings, both philosophical and developmental. They should be able to understand a range of experimental methods interpret data presented in tables and charts. They should be able to understand the structure of arguments, test views for strengths and weaknesses, make pertinent use of examples, and compare the substance of views consistently.
- Pursue and organize philosophical and psychological research using a range of sources (print and electronic media), to critically evaluate reports of experiments and to engage independently in philosophical debate.
Contact Time
Normally students must attend 2 hours of lectures and 1 hour of seminars per week.
Lectures for 2016-17
Thursdays 1pm to 3pm S0.19
There will be no seminars during reading week (week 6)
Seminars for 2016-17
Seminars for this course start in week 2
There will be no seminars during reading week (week 6)
Please sign up for a seminar group using Tabula.
The lectures will be organised by domains of knowledge, so that one lecture concerns knowledge of objects, knowledge of number, and so on. The domains are chosen so that each set of developmental findings is linked to one or more philosophical issues. For instance, research on knowledge of objects gives bite to questions about modularity and the nature of tacit knowledge; research on knowledge of number invites discussions of nativism; and developmental findings on knowledge of colour may challenge certain assumptions philosophers have made about relations between language, thought and perception.
Assessment Methods
This module will be assessed in the following way:
- Collection of short exercises (worth 15% of the module)
- One 2,500 word essay (worth 85% of the module)

Students scaled the walls of the United States Embassy and tossed homemade bombs at its buildings today in protests commemorating a demonstration eight years ago that was crushed by the military.
Witnesses said a policeman and a demonstrator were wounded in the attack today, which began shortly before noon. Seven attackers were arrested.
Embassy officials said that the bombs did not damage the buildings and that no Americans were hurt.
The demonstration, and others this week, recalled an anti-Government uprising in Kwangju on May 18, 1980, during which hundreds of protesters were killed by soldiers. Friday's protests and others earlier this week were called to commemorate the bloodshed in that southern city. #2 People Are Wounded In the demonstrations this week, protesters have denounced the United States, saying it supports military dictatorship in South Korea.
Witnesses said that in the demonstration today, students, some of them armed with steel bars, hurled six homemade bombs at policemen and over the embassy walls.
Four of the devices, made from explosives packed in soft drink cans, exploded, sending about 100 people who had been waiting for visa applications running for cover, witnesses said.Continue reading the main story
A police officer was hospitalized with blast wounds on his neck and hands, they said. A student was wounded when a policeman hit him with an iron bar.
In Washington, the State Department spokesman, Charles E. Redman, said the attack on the embassy lasted about five minutes and that five policemen and one student were injured.
''There is no excuse for this kind of behavior,'' Mr. Redman said. ''There is a political system now in Korea that provides for the expression of political views and participation in the political process.''
Five students climbed over the six-foot-high fence of the embassy compound and ran around the grounds for several minutes, scattering leaflets.
One student draped a South Korean flag over his shoulder while other students tried to destroy two American flags before being overpowered by the police, the witnesses said.
The students also tried to unfurl a placard that read, ''Drive out America, culprit of the Kwangju massacre,'' the witnesses said. March Called for Today
Student groups called for another march in Seoul on Saturday to denounce the Government. Opposition church groups also called for peaceful protests.
In other parts of Seoul and two provincial cities, hundreds of students staged demonstrations to demand an end to the Government of President Roh Tae Woo and the withdrawal of 41,000 American troops stationed here.
Many Koreans consider the Roh Government a continuation of what they term the ''military dictatorship'' led by President Chun Doo Hwan.
Many of the protests were peaceful but some turned into battles with riot police, who retaliated with tear gas. In Kwangju, 400 students clashed with the police, hurling firebombs and rocks.Continue reading the main story

Boko Haram attacked and abducted UNIMAID workers on Tuesday, July 25, while on oil exploration assignment in Borno state.
The President of the Association, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi said the strike would commence if the Federal Government does not strengthen security in the University of Maiduguri and ensure the release of the abducted staff members.
Ogunyemi said "Our union is no doubt saddened by the UNIMAID incident. It is a concrete manifestation of our fears all along. As far back as June 9, we expressed our fears about the alarming security situation in the Maiduguri metropolis and particularly in UNIMAID. Those fears we expressed are beginning to manifest concretely.
"The situation could have been better handled. Our members, who were carrying out their legitimate duties were made vulnerable to this experience.
''We have told the government to take the necessary steps and get our members in captivity released or else, we may be forced to call out our members. But we are getting assurances now that the government is going to do the needful."
Commenting on ASUU's threat, a Lagos State University lecturer, Dr Saheed Adeyemo, who is currently in Malaysia said the Union's warning to Federal Government is a good attempt to protect its own and make the government to be alive to its responsibility.
"Every association of union has the right to protect its own and one of the ways by which you can make a government to take an action on an issue sometimes is to issue a strong statement. However, they can not say so and act in earnest over such pronouncements. It is just to sensitize the government.
"As we know, whether the government is working on an issue or not, it is when people hear what they are doing that they will believe the government is taking a matter seriously. If you consider the abduction of the school boys in Lagos, it was because there were agitations from the public and right now the students have been released. Same thing with the Chibok girls. So, for ASUU to speak about their members, I don't think it is out of place. It is an attempt to make the government be alive to their responsibility because this is a security issue."
ALSO READ: Boko Haram releases video of UNIMAID workers begging for their lives
It would be recalled that the Boko Haram insurgents had on Tuesday, July 25, ambushed troops comprising of soldiers and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force escorting staff members of the university and Nigerian National Petroleum Commission staff who were carrying out oil exploration activities in Borno Yesu District of Magumeri Local government area of Borno state.
The insurgents during the attack killed soldiers, civilians and abducted three staff members of the University of Maiduguri.
The abducted trio according to the video the insurgent released on Thursday, July 28, are Yusuf Ibrahim, a lecturer, Geology department, University of Maiduguri; Haruna, a driver from the University of Maiduguri; and Dr Solomon a lecturer from the University of Maiduguri.
The lecturers were seen in the video begging the Federal Government to come to their aid.
University of Maiduguri has in recent times been repeatedly attacked by suicide bombers.

The electoral register is not a stable or reliable basis to use as a way of allocating constituencies, because the numbers of people on the register has varied wildly over the transition period – from 45.3m in December 2014 up to 46.4m in May 2015 and then down again to 44.7m in December 2015. If the registers get a lot better over the next few years, as advocates of Individual Electoral Registration suggest they should, then the result will be hugely oversized urban constituencies. The Census suggests that if everyone who was entitled to be on the register actually was, there would be a little over 40m on the register in England rather than 37.6m.
Fortunately, there is a better way. The Census itself could be used as the basis of drawing constituency boundaries; either to model what a complete register would look like, or to base representation on the principle that is most commonly found in the rest of the world, from Ireland to the United States – that MPs should have roughly the same number of constituents, including children and foreigners. Boundary changes would be every ten years, rather than every five-year parliament as the current law requires.

Being so far from Istanbul and Antalya this beautiful location is embedded with local government representing the central government and the obvious message is from the centre with no obvious alternative from the engaging and politically interested Turkish men and women who are as educated and challenging as we are in the UK. Probably more so, as our middle class lifestyles are not under the threat of a central state determined to wrap itself in power and wealth at the expense of the hard-working population, spread so far from the seats of power!
The support provided to areas such as the Lake District and Cornwall following the state's of real emergency which happen from time to time, in my experience, require a Gold Command approach and this attitude would benefit the challenges high on the UK agenda at the present time, from my small hilltop these are:
Medical Wellbeing for all,
Safeguarding from grooming and exploitation,
Can a system of regional government with Gold Command priorities put people more in touch with their inner political voices?

Bob Spearman commented 2016-07-31 09:05:43 +0100Lived and worked in Germany for 10 years and everyone is required to register with the local authority for several basic requirements, for national, local and church income tax (tax card to be able to work in that area) and social services, voter registration and vehicle registration (if you move then your vehicle has to be re-registered) All overly bureaucratic and typically efficient German – However the connect between local voting registration and being able to live and work (or study / retire) is locked together. If we used the existing UK registration processes (Registrar of Deaths, Births and Marriages, Local Education Authoritys, HMRC, National Insurance, National Health Registration, Passport registration, Local GP Surgeries, DWP, Council Tax and Electoral Rolls) we could enhance the current registration just allowing this data to be able to interface with each other and build a (not 100% fully efficient for sure) Census data warehouse which could be run as often as required, daily, weekly, monthly etc. Sounds like Big Brother but this is currently common practice for a range of means tested Benefits (Housing Benefit, Council Tax Reduction [Benefit], Child Tax Credit, Working Tax Credit all of which are being consolidated together under the Universal Credit system) HMRC and the various Benefits are now sharing data to regularly check claimants income and eligibility. This could be extended to encompass all the many different registrations and as suggested create a common Census data warehouse which would be ideal for eliagable voter identification.

Sue Fewster commented 2016-07-30 21:00:58 +0100Every citizen has to count as being equal. Choosing not to register to vote is as big a statement as voting: it implies that politics is of little interest and that is down to the politicians. This suits our current system which is only interested in influencing people's opinions at election time. It needs to change, this is one step in achieving that change.

John Littler commented 2016-07-30 13:19:53 +0100But on the numbers of "nutters" in general I admit to being surprised at the overwhelming numbers that surfaced to make their mark for a little England recently. The question is, will the usually disengaged ones vote next time in a General Election?
John Littler commented 2016-07-30 13:16:50 +0100Andrew Dundas commented: "don't imagine the Israeli system of perpetual impasse could not happen here: we have our share of nutters too! "
Of course political impasse can happen under any system for a while, but there is normally a way through, such as a Grand Coalition and sometimes a country without a government operating for months can often cause little harm. A bit of consensus and compromise has been great for long term planning and industrial policy in Germany, instead of sharp about faces in policy, as we have had in energy recently. Faking opposition engenders a lack of trust in politics.
The level of nuttery in Israel and the middle east is somewhat beyond what we have appreciably here.
penny fulton commented 2016-07-30 10:48:42 +0100Geographical boundary matters are irrelevant , if we begin the agenda at the beginning , ie the discussion of what 'democracy ' means .
My proposal is :
1 . ( Using the case of the labour party as a model of public expectation )
Abolish the FIXED ( RE-written in the 80s pro-corprate – anti- social contitution and rules ) written party infrastructure and its consequential institutions . 2. Re place it with CLP as 'THE party infrastructure ' the living lifeblood of the party , Whose raison d'etre is to research information and models of working from around the world for dicussion ; to submit policy ideas for discussion , and draw up the agreed best policies as discussion papers to be shared with all other CLPs .
3. All CLPs vote on the proposals , after an appropriate time allowed for their thorough and inclusive airing . and SACKABLE SPOKESPERSONS are APPOINTED by each CLP to represent policies at annual conference . Conference votes on the propsals .
4. At Local and General Elections , the public are invited to vote FOR THE POLICY ( belonging to the public , not the party as soon as voted for ) and the APPOINTED, sackable facilitators ONLY of the policy voted for are sent into parliamentary representation .
The key to democracy is dependant on the existence and quality of public information and interaction ; free uncensored and uncontrolled , direct discussion and direct control over persons , who are PAID EMPLOYEES , of the PUBL:IC owners of policy .
In in those circumstances . representation could be by an X number of facilitators per POLICY voted for .
Parliament should be the servant , not the master of public policy 'democracy' is just an exerciose in compliance . when a single ideology informs public thinking and the agenda for dicussion is always informed by the single ideology which pre-sets and constrains its remit .
Robert Howard commented 2016-07-29 22:28:14 +0100I am glad that Chris Everett and Andrew Dundas have read my contribution in part. In England I have the opportunity to vote for an individual and not a political party because I am being asked to vote for a named person with a description, whereas in closed list voting (i.e. European Parliament) I am asked to vote for a party. The former is better than the latter.
In reply to Andrew, MPs, councillors and political parties only get to choose boundaries because the rest of us take no interest. The Electoral Commission gives equal weight to all submission within the guidelines they are given by government and, as I pointed out, the Commission can be persuaded to adopt boundary proposals from the community and individuals. Andrew claims in response to John Littler that 'It's near impossible to hold councillors to account for their actions'. There are countless local examples which prove otherwise, too many to list here — and almost without exception, voters identifying with a place and an issue is what motivates them to unseat a councillor.
The proposal is that we use the total population as recorded in the Census (and not the number of voters on the electoral roll) to determine electoral boundaries. In a place like Lenton, Nottingham, where I lived for 35 years until 2014, the area had become student land, almost devoid of families and older people, and students did not register to vote. This saw the electoral roll fall from near 8,000 to under 5,000 at one point, whereas Census returns offer a better measure. None of this is simple, but if we want our MPs to represent numbers rather than communities, I suspect voting numbers at elections will fall even further.
For the record I moved two miles to Beeston, which shares a historic parish boundary with Lenton and now live in the Borough of Broxtowe — a nonsense local government area by any measure and a great example of boundary gerrymandering by the Heath government in the early-1970s.
Andrew Dundas commented 2016-07-29 20:51:34 +0100John Littler made two interesting points: "A Party achieving half the vote with overwhelming command of elected members… " would be tempted to use that power unwisely. He suggested that multi-member constituencies might be a better way.
We have multi-member constituencies in Scotland and in a different form in the rest of the UK. It's near impossible to hold councillors to account for their actions. Moreover, we have a situation where the SNP hold almost all Westminster seats for Scottish constituencies but with less than half of the votes. There's no end to the inequities of electoral systems. Please don't imagine the Israeli system of perpetual impasse could not happen here: we have our share of nutters too!
Andrew Dundas commented 2016-07-29 20:39:25 +0100Patrick Nelson predicted ".. some corrupt official or senior technician involved in the boundary changes …"
The reality is that the Electoral Commission is staffed by people who take very little interest in political choices and make their recommendations fit with the pressures exerted on them by politicians. (perhaps while they wait to draw their pensions). The malfeasance and the exactness that you envisage are not the major problem in our country.
There's no need to get exactly equal boundaries because that's unrealistic: in practice electors are mobile and transient (a polite way of reminding that we all die some day) that we would not be able to make changes fast enough. But the wide discrepancies in numbers of people we expect to be represented that we tolerate these days are simply intolerably wide.
Andrew Dundas commented 2016-07-29 20:26:42 +0100Robert Howard observed that '… voters are more interested in a sense of place …'
Well Robert, I have no special sense of place and sometimes envy those who are so possessed. And I sometimes wonder if they've missed the point? Parliament makes law and policy for everyone and in relation to people who live outwith our national borders. Likewise, councillors should be making policy for a wider area than just one location. Moreover, within all places there are a wide range of priorities. Who's to say which should take priority? What I don't want anymore is boundaries selected by MPs and Councilors. So let's ensure that boundaries enclose near equal numbers of people instead of the gerrymandered areas that currently masquerade as coherent places.
Andrew Dundas commented 2016-07-29 20:14:27 +0100Chris Everett asked "How on earth did such inadequate people get selected by their constituency members one is minded to ask?"
The simple explanation is that party members don't know what qualities they should be expecting in a Party's candidates. And, in any case, they want to nominate a candidate they feel comfortable with. In the case of Labour's selections, the criteria sought for candidates and dictated by the hierarchy, favours the time-servers over the achievers. Which is why we get such feeble MPs.

Roy Boffy commented 2016-07-29 17:57:00 +0100I first heard Lewis argue this case at Labour Party Conference in Brighton in 2013. It seems almost unarguable that this should not be the basis of a more representative system – the first building block in a reformed system where all votes count.

Bob Crossley commented 2016-07-29 15:23:53 +0100Yes, boundaries should be based on the census instead of the register. I've not changed my opinion since I commented some months ago but I feel that some of the remarks here need a response.
Those posters who have said something like "well yes but PR is more important" are missing the point. Apart from a whole UK proportional list PR system (a system advocated only by a tiny minority even among PR advocates) all voting systems use boundaries. And in all those systems how the boundaries are drawn can have a significant effect on how representative the system is. This is particularly true of STV and AM – the systems most often advocated for the UK. PR doesn't offer a free pass on the census/register boundary issue.
I believe like Robert Howard that politics needs to be centred on locality and community so his point about representation of communities seems to me a valid one, both at local and national level, and must be taken into account in any proposed system for drawing boundaries. But deciding where and how to put a boundary around a community should depend on how many people there are in that community, not on how many have registered to vote. Again, a change to using the census to assess boundaries is separate and primary to the issue of how we ensure that communities and places are represented.
I don't agree though with Patrick Nelson's assertion that a change to census based boundaries is going to cost more and be more prone to fraud than the existing system. In fact (and this should be obvious to anyone who knows how the current system works) using the census data is no more complex than using registered voters and it will be done only half as often. The census information is collected anyway. This sounds cheaper to me, not dearer. There's also no reason to suppose that assessments using the census would somehow be more prone to fraud than the current system. I would assume that political parties will scrutinise the results and appeal anything that looks dodgy, as they do now.
I think we also have discount the claim that "we can't use the Census because it's not as accurate as it used to be". Well neither is the register and problems with either can be fixed if you actually want to. The issue here is not about accuracy but about what is the representative supposed to represent.
Do representatives represent everyone in their constituency or ward, or just the registered voters? My answer to that is they need to deal with everything going on in their patch, including problems associated with or caused by prisoners, children, resident foreigners and people who just can't be bothered to register. My personal share of my MP (or MPs in a PR system) is dependant on how many residents live in my constituency so boundaries should be based on that, not on how many are eligible and have bothered to register.
John Woods commented 2016-07-29 14:45:57 +0100The electoral register should be maintained automatically for people born in the UK and added to when immigrants achieve citizenship. I agree that the voting age should be reduced to 16. Regarding Electoral Reform I accept STV but would advise against the complicated method of determining which candidates are elected. I have history here as I grew up in the Irish Republic where we had to wait for days before the result was known despite a population of 2.5 million. It requires multi member constituencies, as in EU elections so we have the problem of determining what the constituency is. I favour the current County set-up with Cities being regarded as counties. London would be divided into area of 4 MP's (my opinion is that 4 or 5 is the maximum number that people can relate to). If the STV system was used it would be necessary to restrict the size of the ballot paper by restricting the number of candidates to something like 20 by a system of run-offs using polling agencies to determine who can go forward to the ballot (an alternative is the French system of two elections with the first used to decide who goes forward to the second. Not something that would find favour in the UK). Example: take NORFOLK with about 4 or 5 MP's outside Norwich which has 2 MP's. Two constituencies with 4/5 contestants for the county and 2/3 for the city. Currently there is only one Labour MP and one LibDem MP for the county.
Chris Everett commented 2016-07-29 12:34:33 +0100You appear to have had an unfortunate experience with new members John Littler, by contrast, they are the backbone of the Wokingham CLP working alongside long standing members. You also seem to be conflating supporters with member. Nearly all the £3 supporters have now become members and many have paid not only their subs but an additional £25 to vote in the leadership election. A recent BMG poll showed that the choice of leader will make almost no difference to how people will vote with only one percent more preferring Jeremy Corbyn. The electorate, since the EU referendum are focused on the policies not charisma. Even the Tories prefer the lack lustre Mrs May to flashier candidates.
John Littler commented 2016-07-29 12:19:29 +0100Primary elections sound like a good idea to me. Labour's new membership seem incapable of choosing a leader capable of seriously contesting an election, nor do they appear to be much interested in campaigning, so apart from paying subs ( only £3 last time), what is the point of them?
Chris Everett commented 2016-07-29 11:58:42 +0100Robert Howard comments that the Party List system deprives voters of choosing a candidate. Unless they are a member of a constituency party, the electorate don't get to chose the party's candidate under FPTP; they get the one on the ballot paper whether they like it or not. Often even constituency party members don't get a choice when a candidate is parachuted in by the party. However, although the argument is spurious, even spurious arguments can have a solution, which is primary elections for candidates with the candidates being placed on the list in order of the votes received in the primary. In fact, why wait for PR, let's have primary elections now. We have seen the poor quality of some MP with their childish complaints all too recently. How on earth did such inadequate people get selected by their constituency members one is minded to ask?

In October 2010, Governor Strickland and AEP announced plans for a project called Turning Point that would construct a "50 million-watt solar field on 500 acres in southeast Ohio that was once a strip mine." The plan would involve the investment of $250 Million in Ohio and create 300 construction jobs and 300 additional jobs at the facility.
Last week Kasich's PUCO appointees voted to kill Turning Point and the associated jobs despite the fact that PUCO's staff had highly recommended the project be allowed to move forward.
The decision could also put another corporate expansion at risk, along with the associated jobs.
In May, Kasich's Ohio Department of Development approved $15 Million in loans and $813,057 in tax credits and grants to Isofotón, a Spanish company intent on building a solar panel manufacturing facility in Napoleon, OH.
The company planned to invest a total of $31.2 million in construction of the plant, which would create 121 full time jobs, many for veterans. And the bulk of their expected first and second year sales were expected to come from the Turning Point project.
According to financial projections Isofotón provided to Development:
Of the Year 1 sales, 22 MW will be for the first phase Turning Point project with AEP according to the term sheet signed in June 2011, and 5 MW will fill a commitment with AMP per a Letter of Intent signed in March 2011. In 2013-2015, phases two and three of the Turning Point project will be completed (an additional 27MW) and 38 MW will be sold to others.
If Turning Point is killed, over half of Isofotón's expected sales over the next two years will immediately evaporate.
So did Kasich's team just not know that killing Turning Point would eliminate 600 new jobs and possibly hundreds more for companies like Isofotón? Did they not know that the bulk of the money provided to Isofotón was loans that may never be paid back if Kasich kills the primary source of their business here in Ohio?
Or is Kasich so short-sighted and politically motivated that he's willing to throw away hundreds of new jobs and $15 Million dollars in state money to destroy business growth in Ohio just because it may, at one time, have had some connection to the former Democratic Governor?
Ohio open for business? Only if you support John "The Dictator" Kasich.
In a speech given to the National Environmental Policy Institute, Kasich once said, "Stewardship of the environment is nothing less than a moral obligation– because God made it and gave it to us to properly manage. it will be part of the bequest we make to our children and grandchildren. We should take care of it. If we intend to provide a better life, and a better world, for future generations, we can't ignore the quality of the environment we leave them." Political contributions from the oil and gas industry may have helped Johnny reshape his thinking about the quality of the environment his administration will leave to future generations.
This is a guy who can't put two coherent sentences together. How could you expect him to figure out the Turning Point-Isofoton connection?

Organising fundraisers & financial realities
Here's Andrew's fourth time-lapse build video, with exciting building developments and a star turn from Sam, DSFL's top scourge of pigeons. Music kindly provided by Doe.
DIY Space for London is not a squatted venue or a popup. We want to be around for as long as possible, being able to be both financially stable and self-sustaining (and able to pay people for their work), and also not get closed down for breaking safety or licencing rules. One of our most important founding principles was also to be accessible, again both in more abstract terms of being socially and economically accessible, but also physically accessible and safe for people with disabilities. We took on an empty shell of a building, and have spent a lot of time and money building the inside to our specifications. We've had an incredible response from volunteers, who've done an astounding amount of work for us, but often to do things the right way, the way that will pass building standards and last a long time and give you proper legal status, you need to buy specialist quality materials, or pay for professional advice or skills, which means spending money. We are opening up very soon (exact date to be announced), but this is the time we are most in need of money.
We've had an incredible response to our Indiegogo fundraiser so far, and we're hoping to get it to over £5k when it closes on the 6th of August, and it's the best place for people to send individual donations. However we don't get the money immediately, and it would really help our cashflow to have some more money from fundraisers coming in the next few weeks. The majority of our money before we started the crowdfunder has come from fundraisers- people putting on gigs, holding jumble sales, selling records and zines at fairs or online- and we know it's a reliable way to raise money, awareness and goodwill. It might not seem like it makes a huge difference if you run a small event, but actually it does. Over the last couple of years we raised £20,000 through small gigs and events, and the majority of donations to our Indiegogo are £5 or £10. Small contributions soon add up!
Here's how to run a DSFL fundraiser:
1) Organise the event, and tell us the important details on firstname.lastname@example.com: What, Where, When, How Much? (And also accessibility info for the venue.)
2) We will help you promote it via our website and Twitter account. We will also send you an email with our bank details.
Hold the event and have a great time.
3) Send the donation to our bank account. It's also possible to send the money via PayPal, but bank transfer is preferable, because we won't incur any fees.
4) Earn our eternal gratitude, and enjoy DSFL once it opens.

Tech4Good Award Debuts at GP Bullhound's Investor Allstars
IVUK's partner, GP Bullhound, will be recognising mission-driven technology leaders through its new Tech4Good award at the annual Investor Allstars awards ceremony in London.
Impact Ventures UK is known for the financial rigour with which our investment processes are conducted. The IVUK investment team identifies potential investees and works with them to conduct the initial sourcing and screening phases. After an initial information-gathering process, businesses are evaluated against five main screening criteria: quality and experience of management, effectiveness of the solution, growth potential, efficiency of implementation and potential to create impact.
This checklist is intended to give social entrepreneurs interested in seeking funding from IVUK a clear sense of what we are looking for in each potential investee. In particular, IVUK wants to ensure that all social enterprises who partner with us:
Social enterprises should note that Impact Ventures UK does not consider: businesses with controversial business activities or who engage in political or religious activities. We do not provide support for organisations focused on deficit reduction, emergency or disaster relief or humanitarian issues, academic initiatives or any organisation that discriminates on the basis of race, religion, gender, age, disability or sexual orientation.
Do you confidently meet our criteria? If so, contact Impact Ventures UK.
IVUK's partner, GP Bullhound, will be recognising mission-driven technology leaders through its new Tech4Good award at the annual Investor Allstars awards ceremony in London.
