|Debate No:
I am looking foward to this debate and I accept. You may make the first speech in round 2 and then I assume I will follow with my constructive/rubuttal?
I thank Con for a quick response, and I also sincerely apologize for the poor formatting in my first speech. (It happened as an accident as I was editing a typo in the text.) I wish both of us the best of luck.
Con's question is valid, and I forgot to mention it in my opening round: yes, I will make my speech and Con will make his rebuttal, and the debate will continue as such.
Opening Argument:
The widely accepted and even more widely known Darwinian Theory of Evolution states that all species evolved through chance and random mutation through the process of natural selection. Natural selection is the process in which organisms with more beneficial genes outlast those that do not, thus increasing the amount of beneficiary genes in the gene pool.
What is important to note is that the process of natural selection is void of what we know as morality. When a wolf is eating a deer for nourishment, it does not consider the deer's rights as a living, functioning individual - the wolf focuses on its own need for survival. When two lions fight for territory and ownership of a pride, and one is defeated and killed by the other, it does not complain about its inherent rights being violated, for that is how the natural world functions.
While it may be beneficial for those of the same species to treat each other well, and thus improve the chance of collectively surviving, and there may even be instances where two species behave with mutual respect in a symbiotic relationship, there is no need to treat all species in this matter.
-Throughout natural selection, the process through which species evolve, morality is absent.
-We, humans, are a product of natural selection, as are all other animals.
-Therefore, is is unnecessary to treat animals with rights.
This is my defending argument for my statement in round 1: that animal rights are arbitrary, and it is not morally wrong to harm animals.
I look forward to my opponent's response!
Side note: I forgot to mention in round 1 that the term "animals" should be used to describe specifically non-human animals. This clarification was made in order to avoid an argument on semantics. If Con prefers, he can request that we use the term "animals" to refer to both humans and non-human animals, but Pro does not believe this is necessary.
Hello to my opponent and thank you for letting us debate. The resolution is: Animal Rights are meaningless from a secular viewpoint.
before I start with the debate it is essential to define the following term:
Secular: a belief that consists of nothing religious or spiritual
Con must prove that animal rights are not meaningless from a secular viewpoint in order to win this debate. Pro wins by proving that all secular views of animal rights are meaningless.
Opening argument:
1) A secular viewpoint advocates for a higher moral standard than a religion, and therefore, offers a more compassionate moral argument for animal rights: Atheists make up .1% of the prison population. That is 1 in 1000 persons. This is compared to the 12% of persons that consider themselves secular in America. This shows that persons of secular beliefs value the legal system more compared to persons of religious beliefs. This would conclude us to believe that secular persons, more often than not, think that the legal system is not meaningless.
2) Defining animal rights: My opponent brought up the argument that a wolf could care less about the rights of a deer he/she is eating. But I would also like to take into consideration that a wolf needs to live. And in order for that wolf to live he/she needs to eat. This is not animal cruelty, rather the natural cycle of life. Furthermore, the wolf is not cognitively aware that the deer has rights. Humans are cognitive being's and know the difference between right and wrong through a morally accepted social contract; our legal system. You could argue that humans would still act regardless, and yes they might, but most will not due to consequentialism or the results resulting from their actions.
3) One could make the argument that animal rights are meaningless in a religious viewpoint: Although I avoid and refrain from using biblical evidence, I think it may be used in this case. In genesis 1:28 is states that we [humans] should subdue the earth. The bible was originally written in hebrew and in hebrew the translation for subdue is "to trample on". God was referring to the animals and the creations that he had "created". Trampling on animals does not promote animal rights.
4) Is ought fallacy: My opponent is arguing that because secular persons have no moral guidance, then they would obviously be abusive to animals. But this falls into an is-ought fallacy. My opponent is stating that because secular persons have no moral guidance, then they ought to be abusive to animals. But how would you consider being abusive to animals moral or immoral in the first place. Morality is all subjective and only decided by you and yourself alone. The misconception that guides religious persons is that they would be barbaric and draconic without a holy book or spiritual being. The holy book and spiritual being they believe in isn't the only thing keeping them from killing everything in sight. They are also bound by what others think and the consequences of their actions going back to my point earlier of consequentialism.
Rebuttal to opening argument: (opponents claim's are underlined)
1) Animals cannot coexist and will not treat other species well: My opponent is clearly contradicting himself. He states that animals will create mutual benefits but then he jumps to that they won't? This argument is very confusing. There is a reason we are not in total anarchy right now. Obviously animals do not believe in a higher being to our current knowledge. The only reason they would harm another animal is by gaining something for them. As violent as it might be, it is essential to their survival. If anything humans "kill more than they eat". Animals only do what is necessary to survive.
2) Darwins theory of natural selection: This is a straw man argument because I never made the claim on the theory of natural selection or evolution. Secular simply means not believing in a religious concept. Being secular doesn't necessarily mean you believe in the teaching of Charles Darwin. I would dismiss his argument on natural selection as null and void because it has nothing to do and has no correlation with my argument.
3) "We, humans, are a product of natural selection, as are all other animals. Therefore, is is unnecessary to treat animals with rights.": My opponent is making another is-ought fallacy by assuming if humans were produced by natural selection, the they ought to treat animals without rights. What the real question becomes is what is actually considered subjectively right. Furthermore as I stated, Darwins theory of natural selection is not needed for my case so this point is null.
I thank Con for his reply!
Con's Arguments:
I will attempt to summarize the arguments that Con has made in the previous round – if I have unwittingly straw-manned or omitted any of his arguments, I urge him to inform me.
Argument 1: Statistically, secular people behave more morally upright than non-secular folk.
Argument 2: Humans, unlike animals, are cognitive beings, and should therefore choose not to harm animals.
Argument 3: This is the argument that confused me, for two reasons: firstly, the argument that animal rights are meaningless is what I, Pro, am trying to argue, so I don't understand why Con would bring it up (without a counterargument for it). Secondly, as stated in the rules in round 1 which Pro set and Con accepted, neither of us will be making reference to religious reason to avoid or promote animal rights. Therefore, I will be ignoring this argument unless Con can provide further explanation.
Argument 4: Pro (i.e. myself) is arguing that secular people have no moral guidance. Morality is subjective. Religion is not the only moral standard, and other things can bind a person to their moral values, such as the consequences of their actions.
Argument 1: Con makes a case for secular people, and how they may care for legal laws to a greater extent than those who are religious, and argues that a secular viewpoint is in fact more moral than a religious one. This may indeed be true in many cases; however, whether or not secular people believe the legal system is meaningless does not affect the argument of this debate. It is fully possible for an individual to be entirely law-abiding and still morally corrupt, choosing to obey the laws of society simply to avoid punishment and being thrown in prison. Therefore, this argument does not promote Con's case in any way.
Argument 2: Con mentions that humans are aware of the consequences of their actions, and thus should choose not to harm animals. He does not specify what sort of consequences he means, but I can think of two main ones: through harming the animal, he may consequently harm himself, or (obviously) harm the animal or other animals.
Now, if Human X chooses not to hurt animals in order to avoid hurting himself (e.g.: causing a species to go extinct may inadvertently harm him), then it may very well be a valid reason – however, it will not be a moral reason, which is what Con needs to argue for. Consider the example of a person choosing not to kill his neighbor's dog. He may choose to do so simply because he does not want to be attacked by his neighbor or the police.
This is not morality, this is selfish interest; Human X is not acting based on standards for what is right or wrong, but to act on his own preference and preservation. This does not advance Con's case for a moral reason to avoid persecuting animals. On the contrary, it supports my view: that rights are arbitrary because their existence is based on personal preference and interest.
On the other hand, he may believe it is wrong to cause the really adorable dog pain and suffering. This would be a moral reason. This brings us to the next point: humans may also choose not to behave in a certain way to an animal because the consequences would harm the animal. However, if Con makes this argument, he is begging the question. Why should it be morally wrong to harm animals? Because, he answers, it is morally wrong to harm animals. This argument is circular, and doesn't stand either.
Argument 3:
As stated and explained above, I did not understand this argument, and I will therefore be ignoring it.
Argument 4:
My opponent employs the straw man fallacy on my argument. I did not state that secular people should abuse animals, and I did not state that secular people have no moral guidance. His argument, therefore, falls flat immediately, but I shall elaborate on it nonetheless. If morality is subjective, as Con claims, then rights really are arbitrary - moral views that are based on an individual and the consequences that would follow. (Again, I refrain from referencing religion, according to the rules that were set in round 1.)
Rebuttals to Con's Rebuttals:
Argument 1: My opponent misunderstands my first argument. I cited symbiotic relationships as a reason that animals may choose not to harm each other – this is not a moral reason, but rather a mutual ceasefire by both sides, since both sides wish to survive. However, if any species wishes to survive, it must, as Con himself admits, kill and eat animals. Whether or not humans kill more than they eat is irrelevant to this debate. The fact remains that an animal's 'right' to not be killed remains violable.
Arguments 2-3: Again, my opponent misunderstands - I did not claim that all secular people believe in the Theory of Evolution. I assumed, however, that my opponent did, since Darwinnian evolution is by far the most popular alternative to religious creation accounts. If he does not, for whatever reason, it is still an undeniable and observed fact that survival of the fittest occurs in the wild - even creationists cannot argue this, and therefore my argument stands. I can revise it, if my opponent wishes, to this:
-Throughout the natural world, survival of the fittest occurs, and morality is absent
-Humans are a part of the natural world
-Therefore, it is unnecessary to treat animals with rights
My opponent's arguments have consisted of two main ideas: firstly, he references secular and religious peoples' morality, or lack thereof, which is irrelevant to how animals should be treated. His other argument is that morality is subjective and should be based on the consequences of action - if the consequence he speaks of is for the one commiting the action, then it is not morality, and any rights should theoretically be able to be violated if it benefits the perpetrator. If the consequence he speaks of regards the harmed animal, then his argument is circular, and he begs the question.
For similar reasons, Con's counterarguments fail: they either do not contribute to the topic, or they rely on consequential reasons not to harm an animal, which still do not give valid reason for an animal's rights as explained above.
I look forward to my opponent's response!
In this round I will go over my opponents attacks on my claims/arguments. I will then go back to reaffirm the attacks I made on his rebuttal that he tried to refute. I will then go back to my case in order to re-negate the resolution. I will then attempt to crystallise all of our claims in the case and relate mine back to topicality.
Opponents attacks on my claims:
1) My opponent states that because the legal system does not tie into the overall subjective morality, then it is not relevant to this case. But our legal system is made up of social contract. Social contract is a combination of all morals made up in a society. So I will have to fundamentally disagree and say that my comparison stands.
2) I made the claim that because humans are cognitive beings and they develop morals through society, then they will choose, on there own free will, not to harm something if there is no gain. Unless an animal or human is mentally psychotic then there would be no use in doing an action in which there is no benefit. Because most humans would see no benefit in harming animals to the point of cruelty, this point stands.
3) Onto my claim that religion demotes animal rights. Secularism is the opposite of spiritualism and religion. Therefore if i am arguing for secularism and arguing against religion on the topic of animals rights. If you are taking away my attacks on religious views of animal rights then you are taking away the core of my argument. Religion is the very thing that secularism combats. If all examples that are religious are considered null and void than secularism stands because it is the only system besides religious systems. Therefore subjectively and objectively secularist beliefs on animal rights are morally right no matter what they advocate because it is the only system if you expel religious examples.
My opponent went on to state that according to my view, morals are arbitrary because its made up of peoples personal opinions of morals. But my opponent is making an is-ought fallacy here. He is stated that if humans have morals, then they ought to derive them from something else rather than society or themselves. My opponent has stated no proof that morals must be derived from something else so this point sands as void. Furthermore if secularists are not currently morally blinded or misguided. Why are the incarceration rates for secularists so low (see first speech for evidence) compared to the ratio of non-secularists?
4) My opponent made a straw man with my last claim that secularism binds people to moral guidance. He stated that I advocated that "religion is not the only moral standard". Yet I never even argued that religion was a moral standard in the first place.
My opponent stated I made a straw man for arguing against the claim: "I did not state that secular people have no moral guidance". So if he argues that secular people do have moral guidance, then why do animal rights fall flat of that moral guidance. Your argument is of natural selection but this is a straw man argument on your behalf because I never made any claims surrounding natural selection. You do not have to believe in natural selection to be secular.
Rebuttal to his/her defence of his/her case:
1) My opponent stated that my attack was irrelevant on his first claim because animals are not making moral decisions. But we are talking about humans in this scenario, not animals. Humans make moral decisions. Animals do not. This only supports my case as the resolution is about secular humans.
2) My opponent claimed that not all secular people believe in the Theory of Evolution. He/She then quickly assumed to jumping that I do. The Theory of Evolution is not at debate here. The debate is about morality and the decisions humans make about animals. You cannot compare the Theory of evolution to this case because as you said, not all secular beliefs include the Theory of Evolution. All secularism is, is a refutation of religion, it does not make an argument past it. That is called Atheism. Secularism is the counter argument to religion, and thus does not have to present an actual plan. All secularism does is disprove religion, not prove anything else.
3) My opponent makes another is ought fallacy by saying that if humans are part of the natural world and survival of the fittest occurs, humans ought not to treat animals with rights. Yet this is another straw man because I never asserted the natural selection claim. The whole framework of his case refutes natural selection by default, but I have not made a single claim on/about Darwin's theory of Evolution or natural selection so these arguments are null and void.
Furthermore even if I made the claim of natural selection his case contradicts natural selection. According to the Theory of Evolution animals must be killed/eaten in order for the evolutionary process to work. But he states: "The fact remains that an animal's 'right' to not be killed remains violable."
My opponents case goes well into detail. However, he's arguing that morality cannot co-exist with Darwin's theory of Evolution, a claim I have never made. My opponents flow jumps from Darwin's theory of evolution to more is-ought fallacy assumptions. He has made straw man and is ought fallacies in both of his speeches. His entire first speech is based on the assumption that secularism equates to natural selection. As I stated earlier secularism is only the refutation of religion. On balance my opponents case has been incoherent with topicality and he/she still refuses to recognise the basis of my case and my points.
I thank Con for a very interesting first debate for me on DDO!
"An implicit agreement among the members of a society to cooperate for social benefits, for example by sacrificing some individual freedom for state protection."
My opponent states that social contract is a combination of all morals made up in a society: this is debatable. Nevertheless, I agree with Con that humans in a society sacrifice individual freedoms in return for the state's protection of their remaining rights.
However, I point out that animals are not active members in our society, and so this argument still falls flat. Animals do not voluntarily sacrifice freedom in return for state protection. Social contract, therefore, does not apply to animals. The comparison between secular people avoiding the harm of other humans in order to preserve their own rights and secular people avoiding the harm of animals to preserve their own rights does not stand. Therefore, this argument doesn't explain why animal rights should not be violated.
Argument 2:
Con's second argument is one of consequentialism. The basic idea, as I understand it, is that humans should not harm animals because it gives them no benefit. As Con puts it, "most humans would see no benefit in harming animals to the point of cruelty".
Again, I agree with this statement. However, not all rights are put in place simply because violating them doesn't benefit the perpetrator. An obvious example is rape. Any civil human would agree that I have a victim has the right not to be raped, even if the perpetrator won't be caught, and even if he enjoys it.
The point is, failing to see a benefit in doing something does not equal a moral obligation not to do it. In the case of animals, just because most humans see no benefit in treating animals cruelly does not mean it is morally wrong.
Con's argument is a good one against flat out animal cruelty, but it does not apply to this topic.
Argument 3:
As I understand, Con intends to undermine religion in order to advocate secularism. In Round 2, he cites the Jewish Torah/Christian Bible in saying that they do not promote animal rights.
I would first like to point out that Judaism and Christianity are not the only religions. Buddhism, for example, encourages its followers to inflict a minimal amount of harm to animals.
Even if Con's argument that religion doesn't promote animal rights was valid, this does not apply to the topic. We are not arguing about secularism, but rather animal rights from the perspective of secularism.
Con begins by stating that Judaism/Christianity don't promote animal rights. As I stated above, these are not the only religions – however, let's say I gave Con the claim that no religion promotes animal rights, and secularism is the only belief system that promotes animal rights. So what? You cannot conclude anything about the existence of animal rights through that statement alone. Therefore, I still hold that this argument fails.
Argument 3.5(?):
Con goes on to talk about my attack on morals being arbitrary from his POV. This is a different argument from the one before, so I've put it under a different heading. He basically states (here and elsewhere) that people derive their morals from society.
(This would be a very interesting debate topic. However, it is not this debate topic.)
If secular people do derive their morals from society, as Con says, that doesn't necessarily mean that their morals will tell them to avoid harming animals. This brings us back to the original debate: whether or not there is moral reason to avoid harming animals.
Argument 4:
Con attacks my claim, in which I say that I never stated that secular people have no moral guidance.
If I am arguing that secular people have moral guidance, he says, then why can't they believe in animal rights?
The answer to his question is what I've been arguing the entire time. Pro's argument is that secular people have no need to follow animal rights, not whether or not they have moral guidance. I certainly do not believe that all secular people are inhumane robots.
Pro's Argument:
In round 2, I used natural selection as my main argument when I introduced it. Firstly, I would like to note that natural selection is not a belief that only atheists hold – plenty of religious people have no issue with harmonizing their faith with the Theory of Evolution either. (E.g.: Francis S. Collins, geneticist and leader of the Human Genome Project.)
Therefore, when I presented this argument, I did not, in any way, mean to associate the ToE with secularism or atheism. I simply assumed, and this I believe I did quite logically, that a secular opponent would believe in evolution.
Since Con evidently does not want me to use ToE as an argument, so I revised my argument in round 3. While ToE is highly controversial, basic survival of the fittest in the natural world is a widely accepted fact, and I don't expect Con to argue it.
This does not greatly affect my original argument, since the main aspect of ToE which I originally used for my argument was survival of the fittest anyway.
Throughout the natural world, animals and sometimes humans (e.g.: those that are isolated from civilization) compete for survival. In this process, morality is absent. Therefore, there is no visible reason to see why this should be changed, or why we should treat animals differently.
Con's Attacks on Pro's Case:
Con has attacked my case with three different arguments.
Argument 1:
Con attacks my supposed claim that animals cannot coexist peacefully in round 2. I never made this claim. What I said was that some animals kill each other for survival (which Con recognized in round 2).
It is also worth noting that not all violent actions animals make are necessary for survival: an example is infanticide. Hanuman langurs are an example. Clearly, the animal committing the act of infanticide is not considering the rights of the offspring he is killing, and so my point of lack of morality in the absent world stands.
Argument 2:
My opponent's point about evolution was valid, and, as stated above, I dropped ToE from my argument and replaced it with basic survival of the fittest, which doesn't really affect my argument. I believe this is in order. I chose a scientifically observed fact that is universally accepted. Thus my argument stands.
Argument 3:
Con criticizes me in both rounds for using natural selection as a base, even after I dropped it. He has yet to present an argument against survival of the fittest. He makes two other claims in round 3:
-The whole framework of his case refutes natural selection by default;
-…his case contradicts natural selection. According to ToE animals must be killed/eaten ... But he states: "...an animal's 'right' to not be killed remains violable.";
Overall, I must say this has been a very interesting debate, and once again I thank Con for accepting.
I have defended my case. I hold that my argument stands against Con's attacks on it, and I believe I have successfully refuted Con's arguments in light of the resolution.
Therefore, I urge a vote for Pro.
Thank you for your time.
Yugandda forfeited this round.

Parent Reviews
Top notch environment for my child with Autism who was struggling with being "odd or different" in the public school. Our 1st year, our experience from every teacher was as God commanded 'to love thy neighbors as ourselves'. Daily devotionals instilled Christ's love for us, regardless of our abilities or disabilities, while living in a broken world. Very happy with the education designed specifically for the exact level each child is at for each subject.
~Megan Harpine, July 2017 on Google Reviews
Our son made the decision on his own to transfer out of our public high school which he loved to attend Brookwood. This decision was very difficult but it was the only way he would be able to get his high school diploma with his learning disability. He was a year behind with his credits. Brookwood helped him to get caught up and receive his diploma in 2 years. Also, he nor us ever felt oppressed in our Faith. Aaron always freely shared his faith and if we ever had a question about curriculum, assignments or class discussions relating to matters of faith we did not hesitate to ask about it.
~Robert Strother, July 2017 on Google Reviews
My daughter was going to a school that specialized in learning disabilities. Her school was forced to close suddenly just 3 weeks before school started in the fall. We panicked looking for a place where our daughter could get the special care that we had come to expect. We interviewed at 8 different schools, all of which were more than eager to show us their awards and talk about their achievements. A mutual friend told us about Brookwood. When we arrived for our interview, rather than walking us past a trophy case and lauding the school's achievements, Kim sat us down and said, "Tell me about your little girl." That was in 2012, we have never had one minute of doubt that our daughter was receiving a top-notch education. Oh and my daughter, she's entering college next spring, at 16.

Brookwood Christian School was a perfect fit for my son. He has many learning challenges and traditional curriculum was a constant source of stress for him. Thank God we found Brookwood. The teachers were able teach my son the joy of learning at his level while challenging him to seek higher academic success.
~Danielle Anderson, July 2017 on Google Reviews
I am so thankful to BCS for everything they did for my son. He never would have graduated high school if he had been in public school. I looked into many different schools but they did not have the loving atmosphere I felt at BCS. Because of the small class sizes, individual attention to his specific learning needs, and the caring teachers not only did he graduate but he went on to a Jr College to play baseball and will be attending a Division 1 College in the fall on a baseball scholarship.
~Kristen Reed, July 2017 on Google Reviews
Our daughter adopted as a baby from Russia has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and we tried every option we could to educate her. But, when it came to math, she was stuck. From private school to homeschool, nothing worked. She started Brookwood 3 years ago and today is learning math, but also social skills and has a much higher self esteem without feeling "different"! Her classmates grow together and build each other up with special directives and constant hands on work from their teachers. Now she understands it's OK to be slower/different and she has things about her she excels in and can be proud of! She will be a 9th grader next year and that alone is a miracle! Brookwood was founded/directed by Kim and Kevin Wigington who are strong Christians, though very accepting of all students regardless of faith. They strive to instill Christian morals and values and meet the kids where they are…taking them to their full potential. The teachers at Brookwood are happy and personally supportive of each child's successes inside/outside the classroom. This school has given our kids something that no other can. It offeres what they need, in a way they can learn grow from it!
~March 2015 at GreatSchools.org
Brookwood Christian Language School was the best thing we ever did for our daughter. We had our daughter tested for learning difficulty and found out she had Dyslexia. We were amazed that the public school never identified her specific learning disability and the public school didn't have the resources to effectively help her. The school is like her family. They understand her challenges and work on building her self confidence and advancing her education. She loves school again. It was amazing. They use a special program that helps children learn to read. The class sizes are small and her learning is adapted to her needs. My husband and I are so glad we made the change. We only wish we had made is sooner. Our daughter is incredibly intelligent. She just needed the extra support and confidence to excel.

This week's news that former CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey would return to Twitter as its new CEO has prognosticators wondering if Dorsey is the right choice to turn around the social platform's flagging fortunes. Dorsey has two potentially herculean tasks before him: build functionality that expands the platform's appeal beyond its core user base, and grow the company's burgeoning digital advertising business.
The good news for Twitter is that, according to Resonate data, the platform can be a great place to find buyers. Take the automobile market, for example. When we looked at the audience of heavy Twitter users—those 27.8 million adults who use the platform daily—we found a young audience (51% are under age 34) ready to stroll onto the car dealer lot.
Resonate data reveals how likely heavy Twitter users are to be in the market for a new vehicle:
These numbers confirm that Twitter is a great place to find new car buyers—particularly young buyers in the market for their first new vehicle. Heavy Twitter users also find themselves attracted to a few auto brands in particular:
Honda and Nissan appear to have the inside track with heavy Twitter users. How can other automakers appeal to these consumers? Look no further than their auto purchase drivers:
Automakers who aren't Honda and Nissan, therefore, would do well to target Twitter users with messages that highlight their vehicle's innovative features, and which appeal to these consumers' self-image and sense of self-esteem. Twitter may be a great place to find new car buyers—but to get them on the lot, you'll need to leverage the platform to deliver relevant messages constructed from deep consumer insight.

So if you have been wondering where I have been I have been a busy little bee. In addition to tending my gardens and finishing projects for customers and friends and finding a job (yes I am employed now yay), I have been getting all the garb ready for this weekend's Renn Faire. I made two kilts (well one I made last year) size 5/6 boys, 1 chemise size 12-24 mos for a little girl. One apron dress same size. Hemmed and took in an adult woman's over dress. Made two children's cloaks. Fixed hemmed and mended most of the rest of the garb and may be making a man's kilt tomorrow. It has been a crazy week. I will post a few pics though.
Follow my adventures in Mommyhood, as I seek out info and offer help to those who want to be Greener Mommies. I will discuss breastfeeding, midwives, attachment parenting, renewable and sustainable living, composting, cloth diapering, organic gardening, organic baby products, making your own baby food, and other green things. I am not an expert just a Mom exploring things as I go.

Art fabrication
Art fabrication is a process or service relating to the production of large or technically difficult artworks.
When a lone artist or designer is incapable or chooses not to realize the creation of his or her own design or conception, he or she may enlist the assistance of an art fabrication studio. Typically, an art fabrication studio has access to the resources, specialized machinery, and labor necessary to execute particularly complex projects.[citation needed]
Notable art fabricators[edit]
Lippincott, Inc., founded in 1966 by Donald Lippincott and Roxanne Everett, was the first company to devote itself exclusively to art fabrication using industrial techniques. The company encouraged a collaborative relationship between artists and the fabrication crew, allowing the creation of work using media that artists had not previously used. Lippincott, Inc. fabricated work for almost 100 artists, including Barnett Newman, Louise Nevelson, Donald Judd, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Indiana, and Ellsworth Kelly.[1][2][3]
Other notable fabricators include:
- Carlson Arts, LLC in Sun Valley, CA, who have worked with Ellsworth Kelly, Isamu Noguchi, Yoshitomo Nara, Christian Moeller, Rob Ley, and others [4]
- Standard Sculpture LLC, located in Glassell Park, CA, whose clients include Jeff Koons, Carol Bove, Nathan Mabry, Matt Johnson, Jacob Kassay.[5]
- Mike Smith, who has worked on behalf of Damien Hirst, Rachel Whiteread, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Gavin Turk and Michael Landy.[6]
- Ted Lawson, founder of Prototype New York, who has worked on behalf of Jeff Koons, Yoko Ono, Mariko Mori, Vanessa Beecroft, Ellen Gallagher, Keith Tyson and Ghada Amer.[citation needed]
- Smith of Derby Group, who have worked with Marianne Forrest and Wolfgang & Heron.[citation needed]
- Amaral Custom Fabrications, Inc. in Bristol, Rhode Island, whose notable clients include Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring, Martin Puryear, Ryan McGinness, Robert Indiana, Jeff Koons, Philip Grausman, and Hasbro.[7]
- Master Art Fabrication, Chiang Mai, Thailand, whose notable clients include Charles Krafft, Doug Jeck, Trevor Foster, Kamol Tassananchalee

At the first Grand Prix in Melbourne, Australia the Mercedes AMG GT S will debut on the race track as the Official Safety Car of the FIA Formula One World Championship™. As the Official Medical Car of the FIA Formula One World Championship™, the C63 S Estate will be on hand to provide fast emergency medical care. Mercedes-AMG has been active continuously at the pinnacle of motorsport since 1996.
The new GT S is the perfect vehicle to guide the Formula 1® field safely around the track when bad weather conditions or accidents necessitate deployment of the Safety Car. The second sports car developed independently by Mercedes-AMG boasts ideal credentials for this tough job in the premiere motorsport competition. The front mid-engine concept with transaxle, the V8 biturbo engine with dry sump lubrication, the dual clutch transmission and the cutting-edge sports suspension with aluminium double-wishbone axles provide the basis for fast laps on the race circuit. Excellent driving dynamics are in the DNA of the Mercedes-AMG GT S: the intelligent aluminium lightweight design guarantees not only a low vehicle weight but also a low centre of gravity for the vehicle and an advantageous weight distribution of 47 to 53 percent between front and rear axle.
Bernd Mayländer (GER, age 43), driver of the Official Safety Car of the FIA Formula One World Championship™ since 2000, notes: "The gull-wing SLS AMG was my official car in Formula 1® for five years. Now I'm looking forward to the new Mercedes-AMG GT S, which I have been fortunate enough to get to know during its development phase. The new AMG sports car won me over immediately with its high-calibre race track performance." The former DTM driver also works as an instructor for the AMG Driving Academy and as a Mercedes-Benz brand ambassador at selected events.
High cornering speeds, dynamic bursts of speed and fast lap times – the Safety Car is subject to a stringent catalogue of requirements drawn up by the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile). After all, it has to be capable of guiding the racing cars from the top class of motorsport around the circuit in extreme situations. And the Safety Car must not go about its work at too low a speed either, in order to avoid the tyres and brakes of the Formula 1® cars cooling down to an excessive degree and to ensure that the engines do not overheat. Bernd Mayländer, who shares the cockpit of the Safety Car with FIA Fuel Analyst Peter Tibbetts (GB, age 59), explains: "We are on stand-by in the Safety Car in the pit lane, waiting for instructions from the race organisers." When bad weather or any incidents pose a threat to safe continuation of the race, the Safety Car team is duly deployed.
The drivetrain of the Official Safety Car of the FIA Formula One World Championship™ corresponds to the system featuring on the road-going version of the AMG GT S. With a maximum power output of 375 kW (510 hp) and peak torque of 650 newton metres, the 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine guarantees high-end performance: the GT S dashes from a standing start to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and attains a maximum speed of 310 km/h. As music to the ears of the Formula 1® fans in the stands and in front of their TV screens, the GT S is fitted with a modified Performance exhaust system for an even more striking and emotive AMG V8 engine sound.
The Mercedes-AMG GT S clearly has race track performance in its genes, as only a small number of modifications were required to transform it into the Official Safety Car of the FIA Formula One World Championship™. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7‑speed sports transmission corresponds 100 percent to the series production unit, for example. The DYNAMIC PLUS package with which the Safety Car is equipped is optionally available to any GT S customer for a further increase in driving dynamics. It comprises dynamic engine and transmission mounts and a specific engine application in "RACE" DYNAMIC SELECT transmission mode and in manual transmission mode "M". The package also includes tauter spring and damper tuning, more negative camber at the front axle as well as an adapted speed-sensitive sports steering system. The Performance steering wheel in black DINAMICA microfibre and yellow highlights in the instrument cluster round off the AMG DYNAMIC PLUS package.
The Safety Car runs on particularly light cross-spoke forged wheels with fully integrated wheel bolt covers. The forged wheels painted in matt black with high-sheen rim flanges are fitted with tyres in standard size 265/35 R 19 on 9 x 19 (front) and 295/30 R 20 on 11 x 20 (rear). This wheel/tyre combination is also optionally available to customers for the Mercedes-AMG GT and the GT S.
All signalling functions on the light bar are performed by fast-responding, energy-efficient LEDs. Overview of functions:
Orange: As soon as the Safety Car is deployed, the orange LEDs are switched on. The flashing orange light in the middle and the steady lights on the outer ends of the light bar indicate "absolutely no overtaking".
Green: When the GT S takes up a position in the middle of the field at the beginning of a Safety Car phase, the two central LED panels on the front and rear of the light bar are switched from orange to green. Green lights indicate to all Formula 1® drivers that the Safety Car is to be overtaken.
Mounted on the light bar is a TV camera such as is also used on the Formula 1® racing cars. Another camera is located on the stowage tray behind the seats. The special number plate at the rear with Safety Car lettering and orange/green LEDs is synchronised with the light bar and provides for added safety in the dark or in rain. The headlamps and tail lights perform an additional important signalling function: whenever the Safety Car is on the track, a stroboscopic effect makes the car even more conspicuous.
Various FIA-specific systems, such as are used in every Formula 1® racing car, are also installed – the transponder system for timing purposes, the high-resolution GPS and the standard telemetry. In order to ensure that the racing weekend goes off smoothly, all systems undergo thorough testing with the Safety Car and Medical Car before and during the event. The new Mercedes-AMG GT S is replacing the SLS AMG, which served as the Official Safety Car of the FIA Formula One World Championship™ from 2010. The gull-wing model was deployed in ten out of 19 races last season and entered the race track 14 times in all.

Chipako Water Project Provides Drinking Water to Half the Village
Chipako, Zambia — In April, a team from Samfya Community of Care Providers traveled down to Chipako to conduct a water resource management workshop. At the workshop, a volunteer from America and representatives from Samfya Water and Sanitation presented a variety of water pumps and well-drilling options and costs for the community to consider.
The workshop participants were told the available funding they had for the project was approximately $6,600. They were then split into groups to discuss their community's water needs and the interventions they would like to implement. In the end, the workshop selected:
- - 4 new wells drilled and outfitted with the Water4 pumps.
- - 5 well caps fitted over existing hand dug wells and fitted with the Water4 pump.
- - 1 well cap for a hand dug well at Chipako's basic school fitted with a more durable India Mark II hand pump.
We have been told that the Chipako Water Project has provided safe drinking water to approximately 985 individuals, which is close to half of the village's population.

Print the letter on official paper from your office, sign and mail to the address indicated.
L4L and Lawyers' Rights Watch Canada (LRWC) warn in an open letter to President Aquino of the Philippines for the continued labeling of lawyers as enemies of the state by the military. Since March, Atty. Maria Catherine L. Dannug-Salucon has been the subject of death threats, labeling, surveillance and verbal intimidation by military officers.
Atty. Dannug-Salucon is reportedly on the Filipino military's Watch List of so-called 'Communist Terrorist' supporters providing legal services. She has also been under the surveillance of the Intelligence Services of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. The surveillance is particularly concerning in view of the killing – reportedly by members of the Intelligence Services – on 25 March 2014 of Mr. William Bugatti, a human rights defender who was also working as a paralegal for Atty. Dannug-Salucon.
The practice of labeling, in combination with the culture of impunity and the military involvement in politics, has in the past been identified by national and international fact-finding commissions as one of the main root causes for the spate of extrajudicial killings in the Philippines since 2001. At least 23 lawyers were killed from 2001 to 2009. Many of them were labeled as 'enemies of the state' or included in the so-called military watch-list prior to being attacked, apparently because they were identified with their clients or their clients' causes as a result of doing their job. So far, only one person has been convicted for these killings and this occurred in 2006.
The case of Atty. Dunnig-Salucon is not isolated. In July 2013, Army chief Lt. Gen. Noel Coballes reportedly branded the National Union of People Lawyers (NUPL) as an 'enemy' in reaction to the NUPL's criticism on the promotion of an army general who is facing credible charges of human rights violations. Until now, the tag of "enemy of the state" against NUPL has not been withdrawn by the Army chief. L4L and LRWC call on the Philippine government to ensure the personal and professional safety of lawyers in the Philippines and to effectively prevent and punish attacks on their independence and/or safety.

Corinna Mantegazza, is a 24-year-old, sixth-year med school student based in Novara, Italy, has a schedule that's totally bonkers. On some days, she'll spend nearly every hour sitting on her butt hitting the books, while she spends other days sprinting back and forth along hospital corridors. Still, she rarely goes a day without a solid workout, a habit that she credits for her incredible transformation.
Corinna began her fitness journey two years ago and started documenting it on Instagram (@cori.mant) more recently. She's built up a following of more than 38,000 in just eight months. "I don't post my half-naked pictures just to be seen but to show to girls who have the problems I once had that anything is possible," says Corinna, who hasn't always been such a fitness fanatic.
In high school, Corinna was basically sedentary since she spent most of her time studying (and stressed AF). Concerned that inactivity would trigger weight gain, she limited her food intake, quietly suffering from what she now sees as an undiagnosed eating disorder. "I always had a sort of body dysmorphia," she says.
By the time she graduated from high school, her weight had reached a new low. But starting college was all she needed to change her mind-set and her ways. "Being a med student makes you realize how important prevention is [for your health]," she says. "I didn't want to be a doctor who doesn't take care of herself."
So Corinna ditched the boyfriend who'd contributed to her low self-esteem, made new friends who worked out regularly, and began to embrace exercise for stress relief and general health as opposed to weight control. Although she still feared dietary fat and avoided carbs at home in an effort to follow dubious nutritional advice she'd found online, she began to give herself a break when eating out with friends, all without feeling badly for indulging, which helped her gain back the weight she'd lost.
But it wasn't until January of her fourth year of school, roughly two years ago, that Corinna really pressed reset. She heard about Kayla Itsines's Bikini Body Guides (BBG), a two-part, 12-week program involving a series of 28-minute, high-intensity interval training workouts broken down by body part to target the abs, legs, and arms. She liked the program's structure and efficiency, that it could get her in and out of the gym, butt kicked, in less than 45 minutes on days that called for cramming or long shifts at the hospital. Determined to follow the program precisely, Corinna started working out six days a week.
"It wasn't easy to go to the gym after I'd already been out of the house for 12 hours," she says. But the extra effort didn't deter her, particularly once she started seeing results. "It felt kind of like a game when I started, and as soon as I saw my body changing, I fell in love with fitness," she says. Feeling awesome encouraged her to spot-check her diet too. She was still relatively restrictive when she ate at home, apart from the rare treat. "I indulged in things like Nutella and desserts because my body was craving more food," she says. Ditching the bogus nutritional advice she'd picked up online, she began eating balanced meals made up of protein, healthy fats, and carbs, while avoiding the fat-free processed foods she'd once eaten regularly.
That's not to say she would deprive herself of treats. She still ate some chocolate every single night — without regrets. And it's not like she stopped eating out. Although she'd never been a huge drinker, she continued to eat out with friends at least twice a week, and sometimes more, indulging in both booze as well as foods like burgers, fries, pizza, and ice cream. "I spent years being afraid of those kind of foods, but I started to understand that they're not so bad if you consume them in moderation," she says.
After six months of regular exercise and eating well-rounded meals and snacks, Corinna was on a high. Her new routine made her feel more energized and less bloated, curing digestive problems that had once really bothered her and helping her sleep much more soundly. (She now swears by her eight hours a night.)
Still, Corinna couldn't help notice how her butt had changed since her journey began: Sure, she was getting stronger, but her butt was starting to deflate from all the high-intensity interval training and cardio involved in her fitness program.
Intrigued by what she was learning in school about the human body and its ability to respond to food and exercise, Corinna sidled into her gym's weight room to try adding strength training to her regimen. She also increased her portion sizes to help build muscle mass, even though it sort of scared her, since she'd always associated eating more with gaining body fat, according to an Instagram caption. Still, she trusted the science behind this new strategy, and it worked, with the extra calories fueling her muscle growth as opposed to settling around her waist. "[Strength training] completely changed my body," she swears. But really, the proof is in the pictures:
• When people see a girl at the gym, they immediately think she's there to become thinner, skinnier, to lose weight and fit into a 00 size. When people see a girl at the gym, they don't realise she might be there to gain weight, strength, and muscles. ~ I was talking to a male gym friend last week and he told me he was very pleasured when he discovered I was there to gain rather than losing. He was quite astonished too and told me that the first time he saw me he believed I was training to avoid to gain too much weight. There're 7 kgs difference between these two pictures, and as you can see it took me more than one year. I gained weight slowly in order to avoid too much fat deposition. How? I increased my meals, my portion sizes, carbs but also healthy fats. I trained hard 6 days per week almost every week, but I also went through holidays, little injuries, sickness (currently writing from my bed – hello fall flu), A LOT of unhealthy meals, drinks, laziness and so on. When I first decided I wanted to gain some weight I felt weird. Why? Because everything you see about female fitness seems like telling you "you have to lose weight". Well this is a total shit. Let's say that weight doesn't matter. An healthy body has no specific weight! I felt weaker both physically and mentally at first picture time. Now I weight more, yes I do, but I also feel stronger and more confident about myself and my body. Don't focus on your weight. Focus on how you feel. And don't be afraid to have some fun in the weight room with REAL weights. They build curves, not masculine bodies. 🍑 – Just in case u ask: progress is obtained using @kayla_itsines #bbg, weightlifting, crossfit, yoging, running, biking because I looove doing so many things I just can't stick to a single training style 😘❤ •
• The fact is, there will always be someone who won't like you. The other fact is that the only opinion which really count about yourself is… yours. Beauty is not a shape, nor a size or a skin colour. Beautiful is who loves its body in every details. A confident girl is beautiful, no matter what she's wearing, no matter her measurements. Ugly is someone who feels free to judge a book from the cover, who feels free to say "I don't like you" just from a picture. Body shaming is UGLY. You, are beautiful. Just to say: a) I worked damn hard for months to get here; b) I don't care if you like my "before" body more, because I love my "now", and that's what's matter to me; c) I respect everyone's opinion, but I don't respect rudeness; d) everything is possible if you work hard. Had a quite bad day today so if you have to say something bad.. just don't. Otherwise, you're welcome here. ❤ •
• I love working out on holiday too ✌🏻 It wakes me up before long days spent around and after nights full of treats (and some beer more than usual 😂) How? I simply wake up 45 min before everybody else, get my shitz done in 35-40 min and voila 💁🏻 hope you guys are having a great week, happy #humpday ❤ •
While it clearly takes a ton of time and effort to achieve and maintain a body like Corinna's, she's grateful for the path she's chosen, which has helped her learn to love herself. "I spent so much time hating the image I was seeing in the mirror, and sometimes, I still have bad body image days," she says. "But going to the gym and feeding my body with the best products makes me feel better about everything."
Now that Corinna finally feels comfortable in her skin, and is able to enjoy a solid pizza dinner without freaking out about its effects on her body, she's able to focus on goals outside the gym, like graduating med school this July.
• #nonfitnessrelated picture but I love it 🙈 Let me introduce you my best patient 🐻 ok I could never work as a pediatrician bc I'm probably the first who still needs one 🙄 hey I'm just a young gal 👧🏻 Btw wanna know something non fitness related about YOU! What's your job? What are your dreams about personal future? Big loooove to all ya ❤❤ Ps picture credit to @loreg1992 aka my partner in crime 😈 •
One day, she'd love to get her personal trainer's certificate, and the idea of competing in bikini competitions isn't entirely off the table. But for now, she's perfectly happy just sharing her story.
"I believe lifting weights is something every girl should do because it shapes your body and supports your metabolism, but mostly because it makes you feel strong," she says. "I feel so confident and strong — like never before."

There's a saying American football, "go hard, or go home." And that's exactly what Hyundai did with its advertising strategy for the biggest sporting event of the year across the pond.
The Korean firm has been a "Super Bowl" advertiser for five consecutive years now, but with the launch of its new Veloster Turbo coupé slated for this year, it ramped up the publicity for Super Bowl XLVI (46), with a total of five commercials.
With a 30-second spot during the Super Bowl's breaks costing $3 million (£1.9 million) on average in 2011 – that's $100,000 (£63,000) per second – it's a big deal so we've highlighted our pick of the five.
The first of Hyundai's delightfully American adverts – entitled "Cheetah" – plays heavy on the Veloster Turbo's sporting credentials. It sees the car lining up against a caged cheetah in a drag race for the fastest land animal only to 'realise' it's be beaten out of the blocks by the Veloster.
Turning on its handler for embarrassing the most rapid mammal alive, the advert finishes with the line, "trust us, it's fast."
The second of Hyundai's quintet of trailers sees businessman "Bob" delivering some sound industry advice to his young apprentice in a Hyundai Genesis Coupé R-Spec, only for Bob to fall unconscious before delivering his immortal words.
Cue the young driver performing automotive CPR by breaking hard, accelerating quickly, then braking hard again to revive Bob.
The coveted 60-second "pre-kick" time slot however, is the key message Hyundai is trying to project to its potential US buyers. Called "All For One" it "truly highlights Hyundai's motivation to succeed" according to the firm.
Inspired by Hyundai Chairman Chung Ju-Yung's words "have you tried?" in response to any of his employees' protests that a challenge was too great, the ad is set to the track "Gonna Fly Now" made famous by the "Rocky" montage.
It actually works too. The sheer scale of Hyundai's TV advertisements in the US show what a key player the firm is in the US market. However, there's plenty more happening in the UK though, with some interesting new marketing campaigns of our own.
