Will and Intent
I have been away on business over the past week. Despite that distraction, my thoughts remained absorbed with the issues raised over the last few posts on the meaning of fascism, and particularly as it manifested in the psychology and the rhetoric of Adolf Hitler — full of so much self-devouring and self-annihilating self-contradiction. In the evenings in my hotel room, I mused and mulled over it all, and all over it again.
I remain intrigued by Seth's comments in The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events that Hitler was driven by a deeper impulse of self-loathing towards total self-destruction than was expressed by his personal willfulness and his glorification of "will". In retrospect, given Hitler's career, it seems quite self-evidently so, and that the psychology of Mussolini and Hitler — and of the fascist mentality more generally — was already prefigured in Robert Louis Stevenson's novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which came to Stevenson complete in a dream.
And what a strange dream that must have been, for Jekyll and Hyde are the symbolic forms exemplifying the dynamic of self-contradiction in which two contrary powers or values in one psyche meet and become mutually annihilate.
There are many instances in the historical record in which Hitler's conduct and rhetoric manifested evidence of this same tendency to self-annihilation and of his apparent desire to (as they say) go out in a blaze of glory like the Wagnerian heroes he so admired and identified with — and even obsessed about — in Wagner's operas. One particularly insightful book on the question of Hitler's obsession with Wagner's operatic tragic heroes is Peter Viereck's Meta-politics: The Roots of the Nazi Mind.
Therefore, the nature of this self-contradiction is fundamentally a conflict between intent and will. We have the tendency to treat the meanings of "intent" and "will" as being synonyms, but they are not. If you have watched, for example, the Nazi propaganda film Triumph of the Will you will be led to believe something different — the Nazis' will to world domination — than the essential undercurrent, which is the completely unconscious intent to fulfill the impulse towards total self-destruction in a kind of "Twilight of the Gods".
Therein lies the subtle difference between a covert intent and an overt will which is the essence of self-contradiction — perhaps of all self-contradiction. Hitler's self-annihilating intent overruled, finally, his merely personal will. His intent and his will were in contradiction, and his personal will became the unwitting slave of his innermost intent.
Therein lies, I believe, the root of what we have been calling "perverse outcome," "unintended consequence," "blowback," "reversal of fortune," or "ironic reversal" more generally. Where the personal will is not in harmony with intent, but is in conflict with that intent, then you have that "inner division of modern man" which was Jean Gebser's insight into the disintegrate situation of the Late Modern psyche. The relation of will and intent is somewhat parallel to what, say, Carl Jung described as the relation of Ego to Self.
I think it is important to pursue this much further, not least because the discrepancy between personal willfulness and what is called "intent" figures so prominently in the works of Carlos Castaneda (and also in most world religions) and parallels some issues Edmund Husserl's phenomenology of consciousness in which the shaping or making power of consciousness is expressed by its "intentionality" or as intending the objects of consciousness. And, if you have been with The Chrysalis for any time, you may recognise in this potency of "intentionality" (or intensity) of consciousness also the gist of Seth's repeated statement that "you create the reality you know".
Yet, how do you do that without really knowing it or how you go about that process? The answer lies in the distinction that must be made between intent and will. You have probably heard Robert Burns' oft-quoted lines from his very great ode "To a Mouse" that "the best laid plans o' mice an' men Gang aft agley / An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!"
The answer to that is the discrepancy that exists between intent and will (or what is called "volition"). Ironically, there is a case to be made that there is indeed no "free will" — (at least, until there is). But that conclusion that there is "no free will" is based on an error that confuses intent and will.
And with these preliminary comments, I'll attempt in further posts to make that distinction more explicit. For I do feel that we are at the root of many false dilemmas and controversies right here in the failure to understand the inter-play of intent and will and the distinction that must be made between the two. In fact, the Socratic (and Delphic) maxim "Know Thyself!" has absolutely no meaning unless we come to understand that there is, indeed, a difference between my intent and my will.

Excellent, Scott. Your term "disintegrate situation/condition" has come to mind so many times since I first read it. I look forward to your continuing remarks on what you've said in this post.
alex jay says :
OK Scott, so are you talking about the "overt" and "covert" aspects of will and intent in the same context you differentiated awareness and consciousness (TDAB)? Or, to simplify even further more mundanely, matter and soul (psyche)/the concrete with the abstract? The "we are in this world, but not of this world" is not only psycholoically comforting but has a precedence that has shaped the thoughts of every philosophical tradition in memorium: i.e. the covert spirit (Jeckyll) descending into the overt matter (Hyde) paradox of our species' challenge as translated in the plethora of metaphorical expressions attempting to reconcile this illusory dialectic – until the resurrection back to the source and then recycled perhaps? And, we would both agree, that the Narcissus analogy pretty much is one of the best examples we have of the Jungian Ego-Self dilemma, though there have been scores of his thoughtful predecessors that have articulated the problem in a cornucopia of other cultural genres – bit like music : )
Actually, I'm not sure why you're semi-obssessed with this "facists" thing — you pretty much know it inside-out. It's a pimple on the face of the grand narrative.
And – to be quite honest – I don't thing the psychopatic little piece of shit could have influenced most Germans to join the asylum without the machinations and agenda of the real power brokers, the banking cartel – the real "masters of the universe" !
And we haven't moved an inch – except backwards – since they began controlling the other four estates … You always maintain that WWI was the game changer into post-modernity (whatever that means?), however one year prior, you had an event that was probably more significant in it's eventual negative implications, and that was the creation of the Federal Reserve System in the U.S. – the greatest unrecognised/hidden coup of destroying the initial progressive gains of the American and French Revolutions.
Sorry … getting off topic … don't waste your time in reading into a blip of maniacs that happened to have been at the right place at the right time through circumstance as opposed to mental and spiritual vigour. The puppet masters were pulling the strings … as they are still doing today …

Yes. But then, all this is only a manner of speaking. One could just as easily say that "intent" arises from Seth's Framework 2 and becomes manifested, in part, as "will" or "volition" in Framework 1 — something like a spaceship entering the atmosphere encounters resistance in the form of friction and drag (something I'll take up again later). Again, the "mirroring effect" in which, for some reason unclear to me, whatever arises in Framework 2 becomes inverted in terms of Framework 1, which finds expression in Khayyam's Caution: "only a hair separates the false from the true", or equally is "maya". I'm not sure why, but everything appears topsy-turvy and inverted in Framework 1, as in a mirror, but seems to correspond to our weird neurological wiring also.
Actually, I'm not sure why you're semi-obssessed with this "facists" thing — you pretty much know it inside-out. It's a pimple on the face of the grand narrative.
Because we haven't yet shaken it off or become inoculated against a recurrence. Moreover, it is precisely this extreme reactionary reversion in our recent history — of this surprising reversal in the "Grand Narrative" — that points to the dynamic of what I've taken to calling "ironic reversal". There are lessons from this failed so-called "Fascist Era" that have not yet been learned. Social scientists want to focus on the political and economic circumstances or the humiliation of defeat in war or the enabling potentialities of technology to account for it, while the psycho-dynamics that drove fascism remain largely terra incognita. But the political and economic circumstances are just that — circumstances — and aren't sufficient by themselves to account for this abortive "Fascist Era". Moreover, we have repeated warnings from Bertram Gross, Arthur Selwyn Miller, up to Chris Hedges and others, including Rosenstock-Huessy, that it is likely to recur. In fact, we seem pretty close to it now.
Of course, it is narcissism — mass narcissism, for what else could the appeal of belonging to a "master race" effect but to simulate delusions of grandeur, and also paranoia? For behind the mask that histrionically accentuates the posture of superiority resides a sense of inadequacy, inferiority, and insecurity about oneself and one's existence. Hitler's rhetoric appealed to both conceits at once because, of course, he was himself also both conceits at once. He berated Germans for being weak, cowardly, inferior, unworthy and simultaneously as the opposite — a master race. Men like Hitler are only a symptom, even a mirror, in which the populace sees itself reflected back as "a Man of the People" or, as is put today, "someone you can have a beer with" — which is ironic given the origins of the Nazi movement in the beer halls of Munich. Fascism itself is discredited — the name "Fascism" that is. But it still stalks the Earth wearing other names and other disguises — economism or technocracy, for example. Fascism is, in some ways, the self-consciousness of the technological system — cunning, systematic, rationalistic and, like Midas, rationalising; but not necessarily for that reason intelligent. It is even the very contrary of intelligence.
So, we want to discover the prerequisites for the exercise of authentic intelligence, which is why there was TDAB and now The Chrysalis. We want to awaken the authentic intelligence, but we are up against obstacles because of what Jean Gebser calls "deficient rationality", which has become confused with the intelligence, even to the point where we speak of "artificial intelligence" and of the cyborg as somehow embodying this as ideal type.
If the full exercise of the intelligence involves equally a heavy dose of what we might call "soulfulness", then, speaking in the evolutionary lingo, we are presently de-selecting for intelligence in favour of something that approaches the Mechanical Ideal — the automaton, the robotic, the "rational" in the narrow instrumentalist and technocratic sense, and which is presently referred to as "dumbing down". In fact, just recently I heard of a hypothesis from one or more evolutionary biologists who speculated on just this thing — our activities were, in effect, deselecting for intelligence and perhaps even awareness. The ideal is the perfect machine, the perfect automaton.
And that is pretty much what fascism attempted on a mass scale — society functioning as the perfect machine. They didn't even bother to disguise that objective. For that reason, they despised the "individual" as someone who didn't know their place and how to keep it — as expendable or interchangeable units.
LittleBigMan says :
I am in complete agreement that: "There are lessons from this failed so-called "Fascist Era" that have not yet been learned."
I see all these contemptible — these little Hitlers — all around me all the time. Some of them, intriguingly, are of the lineage of the victims of the Nazi rule. On a few occasions, I've even caught myself on the brink of turning into a little Hitler and I had to order myself to back away from the ego-centric thoughts that were encroaching and taking over my mind. I question if it is even possible to permanently eradicate from within us such tendencies toward dominance and superiority, though. It seems to me the best we can do is to remain vigilant for these sorts of thoughts and feelings in ourselves and straighten themn out when they begin to go astray.
For example, I find that although the intention to control and dominate others for whatever reason doesn't form a dominant part of my pesonality at all, it can easily sneak up to the surface and affect my will when others attepmt to impose their "Will" on me; especially when an unethical outcome is desired on the part of others. What I mean is that the intent or desire to be ethical and righteous (not necessarily the desire to annihilate an entire ethnicity or a line of religious devotees), can also turn into a poisonous concoction if left unchecked. This is exlactly where I have caught myself tending to turn into a little Hitler. I'm not sure about this, but maybe even Hitler and his Gestapo thought of themselves as being ethical folks, too, and "doing God's work" in their own way.
I still haven't finished reading the article "Theory of Intentionality" in its entirety. The few beginning pages I read were fascinating, though. Thank you.

Not unusual, but a riddling thing. It's akin to what is called "Stockholm Syndrome" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome).

Eradication is probably impossible and inhibition probably undesirable. In most of the wisdom tradition, the negative or destructive urges or impulses are transmuted, by a sort of psychic alchemy (transmutation of lead into gold). Rumi for example, writes of the four "nafs" or animal spirits in terms of killing them and resurrecting them as something else.
The rooster of lust, the peacock of wanting
to be famous, the crow of ownership, and the duck
of urgency, kill them and revive them
in another form, changed and harmless.
Again, in Buddhism the three evils of greed, malice, and delusion are not destroyed, but transmuted into the three gems, again by a kind of psychic alchemy. And the 7 deadly sins of Christianity? Well, they seem to have their counterpart in the 7 liberal arts (although I haven't traced that as thoroughly).
The energies that get bound up with the four nafs or three evils or 7 deadly sins, are actually positive, generative, life-promoting and life-enhancing energies. However, they become perverted in these other forms — one might say "ego-tised", if there were such a word. This is why Rumi adds that the nafs should be revived or resurrected in another form rather than expunged or eradicated. In some ways, it makes sense to say that the three evils or four nafs are only the shadows of the real deal, and that there is some merit in the "power of positive thinking" in this transmuation, if it weren't made so banal and commonplace. Those who attempt to eradicate or annihilate the nafs, end up diminishing and extinguishing the flame of their own lives — as Seth pointed out about the Lemurians.
LittleBigMan says :
"I'm storm-stayed today at home. Roads are impassable presently, so I probably have the whole day to muse."
LOL. That reminds me of the fondest memories of my childhood when I didn't have to go to school for that very reason 🙂
I think I know exactly what you are talking about when you say:
"In most of the wisdom tradition, the negative or destructive urges or impulses are transmuted, by a sort of psychic alchemy (transmutation of lead into gold). Rumi for example, writes of the four "nafs" or animal spirits in terms of killing them and resurrecting them as something else."
I recall one example many years ago when, spontaneously and without a prior experience with such a maneuvre, somehow I found myself enabled to channel utter anger into astonishing productivity. I presume the same can be done with other self-destructive and egotistical thoughts, feelings and emotions.
Thank your for these words of wisdom. And, as always, a very profound and revealing selection from Rumi's work.

Very good. Latch on to the feeling you had at that time — the feeling is important factor. It can be your guide to mastering the other "nafs" and channeling their energies into creative and productive ends. Even anger can be a creative potency if used properly, for it is a feeling often associated with the birth experience.

#GivingTUSCday - November 28, 2017
November 28th was a big day for Tuscarora.
On the nationally celebrated Giving Tuesday, Tuscarora decided to hold its own one day fundraising campaign called #GivingTUSCday. On this day, the Tuscarora family pulled together and achieved the biggest single day of fundraising in our history.
"We were excited to realize we were going to be successful in reaching two of our three goals," said Brian Abrahamsen. "We raised $36,520 from 106 different donors. Even more excitingly we gained 10 new Friends of Tuscarora - those individuals who give to Tuscarora on a recurring basis. I am so humbled by how blessed we are by our guests, donors, and volunteers who used this day to express how much they love Tuscarora."
In Matthew 6:21 Jesus states, "Where your treasure is there your heart will be also." We know that the success of this day is only possible because Tuscarora has had the privilege over the last 40+ years of being a place where God changes hearts. Thank you for lending your support to the work we do each and every day.
Below, watch the stories of Brian Abrahamsen, Lindsay Rosado, and Carol Anderson who want to tell you about some of the recent work happening on the grounds, and the impact of current programs.

The advent of British in India changed the notion of land ownership – the land now belonged to the state. The policies framed by the British also continued after independence and had an impact on framing of policies regarding land, functioning of administrative machinery and land related development programmes with State being central in all these issues. The State began to control land through legislation that recognised only individual ownership and declared all biodiversity and land without an individual title as State's property with marginal variations in different regions.
Broadly, we see three phases and trends of policies and planning regarding use of land. First phase, during 1950 and 1980 focused on land reform agenda and land acquisition for construction of dams and other development projects. Land reform was viewed as a tool for equal distribution and poverty alleviation while land acquisition for dams was justified as 'national development' in the name of a public purpose. The second phase, 1981 to 2000 witnessed consolidation of power and politics of land. Procedural aspects of land governance – revision of tax, revenue, registration fee, stamp duty, land record, etc., changes in procedure for land transaction, land allocation for industrialisation along with infrastructure building and development took place. The third phase, 2001 onwards accelerated land acquisition on large-scale for massive development projects of the private sector and land given on lease for contract and corporate farming. Three acts – Forest Dweller's Rights (Recognition) Act, 2007 (FRA), Special Economic Zone Act, 2005 (SEZ), and Land Acquisition and Rehabilitation and Resettlement (LARR) 2013, and changes in administrative functioning in some state, such as 'single window system' for allocation of land to the industrial units have enunciated a debate of different kind among non-State actors on land as a resource while the State and the corporate sector view it as a commodity. The population displaced because of these policies such as small and marginal landholders (including those who benefited through land reforms and Tenancy Act, 1956), and non-owning land dependents (landless agriculture labourers, pastorals and dependents of pastoral activities) view these policies and actions of the state in a different way. They have articulated their needs, created a critique examining the changes that have taken place at micro and macro level due to change in legal and political decisions with regard to land allocation and use. These voices are reflected through protests and advocacy processes. They have insisted on people-centric planning and policies that promote just distribution of land, its utilisation for meaningful employment, livelihood, food security, and as a means to ensure social justice.
This paradigm shift has revealed many dimensions of politics of land rights. Land and its use as a resource have created challenges in the social, economic and the political spheres. This seminar focuses on 'land rights' to understand social transformation, as social transformation that signifies changes in structure and values. This implies fundamental and phenomenal change in social institutions and their functioning. It also alters relational frames and perspectives on the promotion of equality and justice. Land as a resource has evidently become a symbol of status, wealth and power, and social transformation strategies are now part of a road map to desired development. They are means to deal with agriculture and industrial transition and dealing with question of irreversibility in form of use and land ownership, and solutions to the problems.
Land being a subject on the concurrent list bears inherent complexities. Issues related to forest land and land belonging to the scheduled areas (SA) requires critical analysis on forest management and operational structures. Such land is largely inhabited by the scheduled tribes (tribals) with special constitutional provisions. Lack of coordination between different agencies and each having different level of authorities, most of the issue of these areas are either neglected or have become points of conflicts in different ways. Land alienation among tribals is rampant across the states in India. Second, the FRA epitomises under-performance of the law and conflicts and violation of tribals' rights to forest land on an individual and community basis.
Approaches to social transformation ensuring land rights
The political institutions aim to improve the existing situation with a combination of planning, polity and political activities. The social actors focus on the Constitution as the law of the land to derive and articulate land rights to examine land related policies and laws; Five Year Plan as a blue print to development and analyse budget allocation, utilisation and its impact. In order to enunciate their needs and concerns as alternative development paradigms, they adopt various means and approaches, such as budget analysis, advocacy, lobbying, protest and promoting. Despite various actors using different means, approaches and institutions for social transformation, it remains an unfulfilled vision; leaving scope for further improvement and enhancement.
Initiating transformation through law sounds progressive and promising on one hand but at the implementation level, this process raises more questions and provides several reasons for dissent and protest. In this process, the politics of law making and implementation, and its linkages with the process of planning need to be examined. There is a need to look more closely at the effectiveness of the laws and functioning of these institutions.
In the process of social transformation, the role of different actors had kept altering. For instance, in parliamentary democracy the Parliament assumes the status of a supreme law making political institution. Many social actors have, therefore, chosen to become political leaders by winning elections. But they have realised their inability to make a dent on institutional democracy. They are neither able to 'represent' ethos and demands of their communities/regions, nor deal with the process of marginalisation despite being 'elected representatives'. Parliamentary democracy has become a distant dream for the citizens because it has turned into a 'party-cracy'. Influencing the ruling party to alter its pre-set agenda or to stop upholding capitalist ideology has been proven a mammoth task. The elected representatives of scheduled caste and scheduled tribes and some social activists are a case in point. Similarly, intellectuals and academicians involved in policy framing recognize the limitations of the planning processes vis-à-vis its implementation and the role of vested interests - be it in governance machinery or in politics.
The proposed seminar will focus on various land policies, land laws, planning –budgetary allocation and utilisation, development programmes and institutions created to facilitate land based development along with financial aids and allocation, land issues of different state and communities, which are embedded and run through the debates and discourses on land rights. It will attempt to understand different viewpoints on land ownership and rights, issues of land dependents, examining strategies that have worked, limitations of policies, planning and execution, need for revisit and its relevance in present times.
A limited number of participants will be invited for the seminar. Those intrested in participating should send a synopsis (700 words) of the proposed paper to following Email ID's :-

[01] Papandreou on econ policy, foreign policy goalsMain opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou on Saturday unveiled his party's economic policy in a widely expected address at the Thessaloniki at the 74th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF).
Papandreou underlined that major decisions needed to be taken to deal with the ongoing economic crisis, which is part of a wider crisis the country is undergoing in its social state, education, health, the environment, and an ineffective state mechanism, as he said.
The PASOK leader said he was confident that a collective effort by citizens, wage-earners, the business world and all creative forces of the country could lead the nation out of this crisis and return to growth, creating new wealth.
"A wealth equally distributed, because today two different policy views are clashing. A view calling for cutbacks and another calling for investments; a view calling for shrinkage and another for investments. PASOK knows that Greece is a country of countless possibilities, and it has proven that it knows how to take advantage of them," he said.
Press conference on Sunday
A day later, Papandreou gave a wide-ranging press interview on the TIF premises, which covered the gamut of domestic and foreign affairs, and even delved into internal party issues.
Among others, the former foreign minister was again asked over the funding for his announced programmes and investments, to which he replied that a drastic cut in wasteful state spending and the abolition of favorable tax regimes, referring specifically to banks, will generate the necessary funds.
Foreign policy
Asked about foreign policy issues, Papandreou repeated that there are distinct "red lines" as far as the thorny "name issue" with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (fYRoM) is concerned.
More importantly, Papandreou said he has not "given up the right" of veto when asked about neighbouring Turkey's European prospects and the crucial European Council meeting in December. He said his decision will be taken after an evaluation of the steps made by Ankara vis-?-vis the Cyprus issue and bilateral relations.
In continuing on relations involving EU-Turkey and Greek-Turkish relations, Papandreou stated that he believes the Helsinki agreement is still in force, with the veto option still on the table for Athens, an option he charged was abandoned by ruling ND.
Finally, he emphasised that a re-negotiation for the Burgas-Alexandroupolis pipeline project is necessary, terming the contract for the project as too generous for third parties and not in favor of the Greek side. "PASOK started the project and PASOK will conclude it," he said.
[02] LA.OS leader tours EviaPopular Orthodox Rally (LA.OS) party leader George Karatzaferis toured regions on the large island of Evia, off the eastern mainland, on Sunday morning that experienced significant flooding on Saturday following torrential rains, interrupting his tour of the Peloponnese.
Karatzaferis inspected damage caused by the inclement weather and attended a special municipal council session in the municipality of Vassiliko, saying that "this plight that has begun 30 years ago cannot continue, we are burning in August and drowning in September."
According to a LA.OS announcement, Karatzaferis offered a party donation of 30,000 euros to the municipality.

You and your kid are likely similarly worried about the social scene. Anxiety about making companions, being singled out, and fitting in rises above all ages. Actually, 46% of our mothers were the most worried about their understudy making companions or being tormented. Be that as it may, the biggest single concern, coming in at 28%, was regardless of whether the children would have a decent instructor. Your child, then again, presumably simply needs her/him to be "pleasant."
Every time of school is an enormous stride for you and your little ones; it includes a ton of arranging and a considerable measure of feelings.

The George Daniels Educational Trust - The Legacy Continues.
How to follow yesterday's hoopla regarding the MB&F tribute to holorogical history? - with the legacy of George Daniels, widely regarded as one of the greatest watchmakers ever.
Since his death in 2011 Mr Daniels' collection of watches and clocks were auctioned raising a reported £8m, funds which have been generously donated to form the foundations of the George Daniels Educational Trust. This academic year marks the beginning of the trust's fruition with seven students at City University London set to benefit with two doctoral studentships and five undergraduate scholarships being awarded in Electrical Engineering and Instrumentation courses.
Mr Daniels had reflected on the high value he placed on his student years and the contributions they had to his horological accomplishments, so it is entirely appropriate that not only does he leave behind a lifetime of achievements, most notably the invention of the Co-Axial Escapement, but also a legacy which will benefit future generations.
During an evening of celebration at the university on September 18th, the first George Daniels lecture will take place titled "Optical Atomic Clocks - Light Years Ahead" and as a tribute the university clock will be renamed "The George Daniels Clock".
More details at the Daniels London website.

Overall, RumorFeed provides a clean and simple site to read about celebrity news, rumors, movies, and your weekly buzz so you can stay up to date with pop culture.
If you are like most of us, you find it interesting to keep up to date on celebrity news, from upcoming appearances, movie releases, reviews about a blockbuster hit or a tanked opening, to rumors.
Especially when it comes to celebrity rumors, fans of all ages tend to go crazy over finding out who went on a date with who, who's breaking up, who is having family conflicts.
Let's face it, when you are a celebrity, you may have a lot of money, but that comes at the loss of privacy, and it's a big business. That is where RumorsFeed comes into play. Let's get into the details.
Idea 8/10
The concept of RumorsFeed is rather basic and simple, it is an online collection of posts providing users with information. This information focuses on a few different areas, such as celebrity news, movies and of course possibly the largest area, rumors as their name implies.
While the concept itself is solid at this point, people tend to go insane over finding out Pitt and Jolie adopted a new kid, broke up, or any celebrity had a bad hair day.
We were unable to pull out a full 10 points because the truth is, celebrity news and rumors is not a unique concept. This is everywhere. Ten years ago, an online gossip site would be fresh and new, transitioning from magazine to digital, but with rumors and facts appearing all over the web, social media, and store fronts, there's a good chance a person knows before breakfast.
Design 9/10
When it comes to the site design, we find RumorsFeed to be very clean and open. It uses white space to create a balanced page, including a few ad placements that do not through it off. Although, it does seem to slow page load a little.
The second thing we look at with site design, font. They are good in this area too, they use a font style and size that is easy to read, shows up great on the white background and use headers to stand out. Great for skimming their information.
Finally, the navigation is simple and easy to get around. They offer several categories, including movies, rumors and weekly buzz, among others. Plenty of information to keep you updated for the day in gossip central.
Utility 5/10
The celebrity rumor and gossip niche is popular, but highly overused. We find it hard to determine any added benefits and use of yet another celebrity gossip and rumor site with the amount of related information already spread around.
Because of this, we were not able to give utility a high rank, we simply did not see anything scream "we have it, they don't".
Price 10/10
RumorFeed offers the site for free, so we have to give full points here.
Usability 8/10
Overall, RumorFeed provides a clean and simple site to read about celebrity news, rumors, movies, and your weekly buzz so you can stay up to date with pop culture and know what your friends are talking about. It's easy to navigate, font is easy to read, and the advertising does not overload the experience. However, we were unable to find an aspect that really made RumorFeed stand above other celebrity gossip sites.

Add half of the remaining flour mixture then add the remaining milk. Scrape down sides and bottom of the mixing bowl. Add the remaining flour. Scrape down sides and bottom of the mixing bowl one last time, making sure all ingredients are well incorporated but do not overmix.

Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, until layers test done in the center. Remove from oven and place pans on cooling racks. Let cool in pans for 15 minutes before removing from pans. Let layers cool thoroughly. Split layers in half horizontally using a serrated knife for best results.

A Global Biography
From a prize-winning historian, the definitive biography of Adolph Hitler
Hitler offers a deeply learned and radically revisionist biography, arguing that the dictator's main strategic enemy, from the start of his political career in the 1920s, was not communism or the Soviet Union, but capitalism and the United States. Whereas most historians have argued that Hitler underestimated the American threat, Simms shows that Hitler embarked on a preemptive war with the United States precisely because he considered it such a potent adversary. The war against the Jews was driven both by his anxiety about combatting the supposed forces of international plutocracy and by a broader desire to maintain the domestic cohesion he thought necessary for survival on the international scene.
A powerfully argued and utterly definitive account of a murderous tyrant we thought we understood, Hitler is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the origins and outcomes of the Second World War.

Reader Reviews
"Brendan Simms has a bold hypothesis -- that it was Hitler's fixation on the United States and Great Britain, and his fear of German decay and degeneracy that drove his strategic thinking and behavior, and he argues it with exceptional eloquence and force. This fascinating book will force us to rethink the strategy of the Second World War in a way that none other has in more than a generation."—Eliot Cohen, Robert E. Osgood Professor of Strategic Studies at the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University
"A pathbreaking and elegantly written account of Hitler and his foreign policy that is rooted in the existing literature but goes beyond it to make new claims. Simms marshals considerable evidence to show that Hitler was more preoccupied with a worldwide struggle with America and Britain then he was by Jews and Bolshevism. His claims of Aryan racial superiority masked concerns about German inferiority; he hoped to improve the 'racial stock' by positive as well as negative eugenics. Simms rejects revisionist claims that see Hitler's foreign policy as constrained or compelled by German society and institutions. A must read for anyone interested in the Third Reich and the long shadow it cast over the 20th century."—Richard Ned Lebow, professor of War Studies, King's College London
"After more than 100,000 publications on the evil of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi responsibility for Second World War, it is difficult to offer much new. But Brendan Simms has written a provocatively novel interpretation of the ascendance of Hitler, and why he prompted and lost a global war: his Hitler was always driven more by envy and fear of Anglo-American capitalists than fright of the Soviet Bolsheviks-and more from worries about the comparative inferiority of the German Volk than from arrogance about its purported superiority. Enthralling and enlightening revisionist history at its best."—Victor Davis Hanson, author of The Second World Wars
"Combining intellectual verve with gravity, this analytical biography's tightly integrated arguments are based on prodigious research and original conceptualizations. Often gripping, the book's fresh thinking concerning Hitler's anxieties about Anglo-America and the qualities of Germany's population directs readers to reconsider established perceptions about his intentions, motivations, and behavior."—Ira Katznelson, author of Fear Itself: The New Deal and the Origins of Our Time
"[Simms] builds on previous scholarship to make a bold thesis-that Hitler's principal obsession was not communism but rather 'Anglo-America' and global capitalism...A vigorous, original study that adds to the ongoing scholarship."—Kirkus

MINI has released a pair of exclusive detail design sketches as an initial preview of its first fully-electric model. The company had first showcased the MINI E pilot project exactly ten years ago and the MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 plug-in hybrid model went on sale in 2017. The MINI with battery-electric drivetrain then, represents the next stage in the electrification of the MINI. The initial design sketches will be revealed during the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Also Read: Electric MINI's Cabin Revealed In New Spy Shots
The sketches show the car's grille. Its hexagonal form is a signature MINI design element, but the closed-off interpretation is all new. Behind the grille, cooling elements are conspicuous by their absence - which means the grille can stay closed and therefore improve airflow. A yellow accent bar with an E badge in the same colour identifies this as an electric MINI. The second sketch shows the striking wheel design of the fully-electric MINI, which has been carried over from the MINI Electric Concept into the production model. The wheels take the motif of the accent bar on the grille and add their own asymmetrical twist.
Also Read: BMW To Make Electric MINIs In China
Oliver Heilmer, Head of MINI Design said, "MINI is an urban brand and the fully-electric MINI the logical next step into the future. These initial sketches for the fully electrified MINI outline our vision of authentic design creating a bridge between the history of the brand and its electric future."
The first volume-produced MINI with a battery-electric drivetrain will hit the roads in 2019 - exactly 60 years after the classic Mini went on sale. Based on the MINI 3 door, the electric model will roll off the assembly line at Plant Oxford. Its drivetrain will be produced at the Dingolfing and Landshut plants.

The All Progressives Congress members of the House of Representatives might leave the party following the crisis over the loss of return tickets for 2019 deepened.
report says an about 36 more aggrieved members could leave the party next week. Recall that up to 70 members had protested their loss of return tickets after the party's primary election to its appeal panel.
Incidentally, the panel was said to have resolved only eight of the cases in favour of the petitioners, leaving the majority of 62 out of the equation.
The defection plans are on in spite of the ongoing efforts by President Muhammadu Buhari to resolve the disputes in the party.
Three weeks ago, he had summoned the aggrieved lawmakers to the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, just days to the submission of the final list of candidates to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
It was learnt that the President called the meeting after he heard the threats by the members to defect from the APC and work against the party during the 2019 polls.

When planning a construction project, the BCWP can be used to keep you on target and on budget.
Calculate the budgeted cost of work scheduled by adding the sum of all scheduled construction costs that you expect to complete by a designated deadline. Determine your project's BCWS by adding your labor costs to your material costs. Use the following example: If you have an $8,000 budget for materials and a labor cost of $20 for 80 hours of work, your formula will be $8,000 + (20 x 80) = BCWS, or $9,600.
Allow for delays due to unexpected weather or other circumstances, such as 50 hours of actual labor instead of the 80 allotted hours. When this happens, expect your scheduled progress to be less, for instance 40 percent or 60 percent off schedule. Estimate the schedule performance index (SPI) by comparing the amount of work that was accomplished by the amount of work planned.
Multiply the schedule performance index by the budgeted cost of work scheduled to reveal the earned value, or budgeted cost of work performed. With an SPI of 40 percent, the BCWP would be 40 precent x $9,600 = $3,840. With an SPI of 60 precent, the BCWP would be 60 percent x $9,600 = $5,760.
Use the budgeted cost of work performed to locate the actual cost of work performed and the cost variance to determine whether there will be any cost overruns.

The Tel Aviv University began a competition for the design of the Check Point Building which will be located in the center of their campus for the computer science and the youth center and the winning project was the one of the Kimmel Eshkokot Architects practice.
The building they designed tries to separate the two groups of users mentioned above while also allowing them to have informal meetings or a joint use of the auditorium and the classrooms. One of the most important features was sustainability and thus the courtyards are shaded and naturally ventilated with the orientation toward the sun and wind.
The façade has a double skin to allow its own ventilation and shading and its design is inspired by the cloud computing trying to combine the substantial aspect of the façade with a transparent and continually changing aspect which connects the building with the sky and clouds. The glass pixels covering the building is a statement of the building's purpose and its design was created with the aid of computerized planning parameters.
