I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live. – Psalm 116:1-2
There's a song I hear on the radio that I like called Hold Me by Jamie Grace. Not only does it have a catchy tune, but the words speak to me regarding how God loves me in such a special way. In fact, here's the link so you can listen to it yourself.
Each day is so special because of God. Consider and take notice of the ways he shows his love to you. Does your day need "flipping around"? He can do it.
Prayer: Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the way you love me. You are my constant companion through all the good and challenging of life. I pray that I always turn to you. Amen
Faith Tip: Love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul.

Zoe Kravitz To Nylon Mag: 'I Don't Want To Play Everyone's Best Friend'
Zoe Kravitz drapes herself in denim on the August 2015 issue of Nylon magazine.
Check out what the 26-year-old Divergent actress had to share:
On the dynamics of her racial identity: "I identified with white culture, and I wanted to fit in. I didn't identify with black culture, like, I didn't like Tyler Perry movies, and I wasn't into hip-hop music. I liked Neil Young. [But things changed]…black culture is so much deeper than that, but unfortunately that is what's fed through the media. That's what people see. That's what I saw. But then I got older and listened to A Tribe Called Quest and watched films with Sidney Poitier, and heard Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. I had to un-brainwash myself. It's my mission, especially as an actress."
On pal Miley Cyrus: "I was impressed by how much Miley loves music�"you never know with pop stars…. One of my favorite activities is to sit and listen to a record, and at that point I don't need to talk to you. You find that a lot of people don't get that. It's cool when you meet somebody who does."
On the roles she takes: "I don't want to play everyone's best friend. I don't want to play the role of a girl struggling in the ghetto. It's not that that story isn't important, but I saw patterns and was like, 'I don't relate to these people.' [But Dope] hit all the points that I believe in."

"Arbitration makes a lot of sense", Charles Allen states. A general commercial disputes lawyer and currently a partner at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe in Hong Kong, he practices across a wide range of different things.
Human Resources magazine spoke to Allen about one of his fields of expertise: arbitration. "It's a particular area of interest to me that there seem to be so many employers around town who don't understand that arbitrating employment disputes makes a lot of sense," he shares. "Especially when you're dealing with senior employees, particularly people with complex compensation arrangements. And that's what's misunderstood I think."
To help alleviate some of the confusion, he talked us through the arguments for-, some of the inner workings of-, and HR's involvement in arbitrating employment disputes.
Q. What is the main difference between litigation and arbitration?
For me, confidentiality and expertise are the two main issues that set them apart.
Simply put, litigation is court. Your claim is heard by a judge who is a civil servant sitting in either the district court, the high court, or the labour tribunal – a specialist employment tribunal. It's heard in public and your judge may not be a specialist either in employment law or a specialist in the particular industry or sector that the dispute arises out of.
Contrast that to arbitration. Arbitration is a private form of dispute resolution and your arbitrator is somebody that the parties pay for and somebody that the parties choose. And what you can do, is choose an arbitrator who you know has got some experience in the particular industry, or somebody who might be familiar with the specific compensation arrangements that give rise to the dispute.
Additionally, arbitration is always conducted in private. So there's no washing your dirty laundry in public.
Q. You say you feel many companies in retrospect might have preferred arbitration to resolve their dispute. What do you think causes them to initially overlook it?
I can only speculate about why employers in general might not think about arbitration. One possible reason is that it's an afterthought. We all know that when commercial contracts are being drafted the dispute resolution clauses are the last to be negotiated. Because, particularly in this jurisdiction, but not limited to Asia, having a discussion about the possibility of a dispute is regarded as pretty poor form, or even unlucky.
As a result, these clauses end up being negotiated at midnight or 2 o'clock in the morning. It's not given much thought, somebody sticks in some boilerplate language and that's it.
Another possibility is that the employer makes an assumption that every dispute is going to end up in the labour tribunal anyway, and simply doesn't bother to consider the possibility of putting in an arbitration clause.
A final reason could be that they've heard somewhere that arbitration clauses in employment contracts are not enforceable. While there is some substance to this – a court is not mandated to stop court proceedings in breach of an arbitration clause – it's no reason not to put in the clause in the first place.
My thesis is that unless you put an arbitration clause in your employment contract, you don't even have the option to try and stop court proceedings once an employee has started those.
Q. So putting in an arbitration clause is mainly a safeguard for employers?
It gives the employer an option. And whether the employer decides to exercise that option may depend on the type of case.
For example, a relatively straightforward case for payment in lieu of notice after an employee misbehaved and was fired, is probably in good hands with the labour tribunal as far as the employer is concerned. It's not the company's conduct that will be under scrutiny, and the final payment, if any, is easy to calculate.
On the other hand, if there's dispute about a bonus payment to a highly compensated employee with complex bonus arrangements set out in their contract, an employer would most likely prefer the claim to be handled in arbitration.
Firstly, so that they could appoint an arbitrator who knows something about the industry. Secondly, because it keeps the whole thing out of the public eye, meaning any bonus arrangements that might for example be tied to investments made for the company can stay confidential.
Q. How would you go about finding the right arbitrator?
The idea is that both parties agree on one. If they can't agree, they can normally ask the arbitration centre to appoint someone on behalf of both parties.
You might want to go to a lawyer, a solicitor like myself, or a barrister, a retired judge, a professional arbitrator, or you might want somebody who has a deep background in HR.
The Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre maintains lists of arbitrators that you can pick from, and the website contains links to the CVs of the arbitrators so you can find one with the right professional background and experience.
Q. You mentioned arbitration is paid for by 'parties'. Could you elaborate on that?
The general rule in arbitrations is that the parties will initially split the arbitrator's fees and other costs, but the losing party will pick up all of the tab. Of course, that can be a problem in the context of employment disputes, because even highly compensated employees may not be able to afford the possibility of losing.
And so there are ways around this. The first step is to draft your clause in such a way that it doesn't go anywhere near arbitration. Ideally, you'd put in a mediation provision that has to be progressed through before you get to the point of anybody making a decision about going to court or arbitration.
Secondly, you can add provisions into your arbitration agreement that load the burden of cost onto one party, or have the winning party agree to not claim the costs back from the losing party.
Q. From an employment dispute perspective, how much legal knowledge should HR have?
My own experience is that HR professionals in Hong Kong are generally extremely well informed about basic legal principles. Having said that, the minimum any HR professional in Hong Kong should have is a working knowledge of the Employment Ordinance.
I'm not suggesting they need to necessarily know a lot about dispute resolution, but they do need to know what the ordinance says. Things like the factors that need to be satisfied before you can summarily dismiss someone, the basic entitlements of employees to holiday, to sick pay, notice periods, payments in lieu of notice – these are all things that are set up quite clearly in the Employment Ordinance.
Q. Is ensuring the clause is in the contract to begin with something HR could play a role in?
I think so, yes. I'm not saying an arbitration clause is appropriate for every kind of contract. But some disputes that start in the Labour Tribunal are really not appropriate to be dealt with there. So I'm really talking about the top tier of employees, not about your average employee or middle manager. But for the contract of a highly compensated employee, certainly.
HR's role is not just about knowing what the rules and laws are. It's not just about hiring and firing. HR's role also ought to include playing a part in trying to avoid and if necessary resolve disputes. Not necessarily by a formal process or mediation, but by simply communicating with all the relevant stakeholders. HR can be a fantastic asset, and should always be involved if ever there's a dispute.

We all know that balance is vital for a healthy diet, but a new study suggests balance in how you spend your time is also key to a healthy life and sense of wellbeing – for children as well as adults.
The study, by the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) in Melbourne, found that even as young as 11, how kids choose to spend their time may impact on their physical and mental health and self-reported quality of life.
"People tend to think about healthy lifestyle in terms of doing more of certain things – sleep, exercise, down-time – but what we found suggests it's more about the overall pattern and whether that's balanced," says Professor Melissa Wake, a senior researcher in the team who is now based at the University of Auckland.
Professor Wake, the new Cure Kids professor of child health research at the Liggins Institute and the University of Auckland Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, says it is likely that similar links between time-use and quality of life would be found in New Zealand children.
The study, published in high-ranking journal Pediatrics, surveyed over 1,400 children aged 11 and 12. Participants were asked to fill out daily diaries detailing their use of time in five-minute increments across two 24-hour periods. This covered 260 different daily activities, including time spent showering and brushing teeth. The study looked at three outcome measures - overall quality of life, psychological health and physical health.

He may be at the Citadel just long enough to find out what he needs to know and then I figure he'll beat tracks back to the Wall.

I have been reading a lot lately, and not really blogging about anything. Ugh. I know I should be writing more. Baby steps. Here is a little bit about some of the fiction I've read lately.
The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan
I was mostly familiar with David Levithan for writing 1/2 of the book Will Grayson, Will Grayson (with David Green, which I have read and liked) and as 1/2 of the team who wrote Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (the book, with Rachel Cohn, which I have not read but I was pleasantly surprised by the movie). This didn't blow me away, but it was certainly lovely and interesting. It's organized as a dictionary so the stories occur alphabetically instead of chronologically. I like that you can read it differently any time you pick it up, and that it will feel different/read differently based on who is reading it. It was a quick enough read that I would definitely recommend it to someone looking for a quick charming novel.
Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul by Douglas Adams
Recommended. This is the second in the Dirk Gently series. Dirk, for those who are unfamiliar, is a private holistic detective. The first book involved a couple of ghosts and a lot of other wacky stuff. It was ok, but very very very slow to develop. This one was great right off the bat. It also draws heavily on mythology acting up in the modern world, which is something I LOVE (my very favorite book is American Gods). The story engaged me to the very end, and involved just the right mix of clarity and complexity. I think the first book had to many characters and plotlines and weird things going on you didn't know were going on. This one took all the good stuff from the first book and jettisoned most of the nonsense.
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
I hated every minute of this book. Well there was one single minute when I liked it, but every other minute was spent hating this book. I am still so angry that spent so much time reading because it was vastly unsatisfying. I went into it pretty excited because it has gotten so much great press. My idol Linda Holmes on Pop Culture Happy Hour said she read it in one sitting while on a plane. She couldn't say enough good things about it (mentioned about 41:15 in that linked episode)! Barrie Hardymon too! I cannot imagine that. I found it was pure drudgery and I felt like I was turning pages not because it was an un-put-down-able page-turner but because of muscle memory. I wish it were 75-100 pages shorter. I wish at least one of the characters was likable. I wish the twist was satisfying. I wish the format were satisfying. And I wish the writing were enjoyable. I hated it so much.
The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker
Recommended! I was really taken aback by this one. Ostensibly it's a story about a man who breaks his shoelaces then buys new shoe laces over his lunch hour. The book is so little about that story though. He goes on all kinds of tangents about design and modern life that were fascinating and elegant. So much of the book takes place in the footnotes, and some of those footnotes stretch across several pages. It is not fast-paced or dramatic or exciting. It is cerebral and nuanced and careful. I found Baker's (character's) rich internal life a lot like my own and I was very impressed with this tremendous little book.
2012 Reading Challenge
I have been reading a lot lately, and not really blogging about anything. Ugh. I know I should be writing more. Baby steps. Here is a little bit about some of the graphic novels I've read lately.
Goliath by Tom Gauld
Aw, man. Real good, but also real sad. This is the story of Goliath, yes the Goliath of "The Bible" fame. I mean, I know how this story ends, I just definitely wish this one didn't end like this. Tom Gauld's style is so pared down and simple, it makes this very well known story very wrenching and sympathetic. I always like stories that have a thoughtful and likable weirdo at the center, and this fits the bill very well. Basically I'll read (and probably love) anything published by Drawn & Quarterly.
Daisy Kutter: The Last Train by Kazu Kibuishi
Recommended! I started reading The Amulet series (highly recommended, too) a while back and fell totally in love with it. After that I looked up all the comics by Kibuishi in the library catalog and read all of them. Daisy Kutter is earlier than the Amulet series, but you can see so much of Kibuishi's sensibility building. There are robots and old-timey things alongside one another. It sounds sort of steampunk, and it is, but not in a lame way. It's more like Firefly, which is a very apt comparison particularly because it's also a western.
I really like how Kibuishi writes female characters. They are strong and awesome, but not flawless sexy martyrs. The book might be short (or shorter than a regular novel) but there are so many character-developing glances, movements, and affectations.
Also there's a really bad ass robot gun.
Batman: Death by Design by Chip Kidd and Dave Taylor.
Very disappointing. I've been going through a bit of a Batman kick lately (the new movie, and episode of The Indoor Kids dedicated to all things Batman, and an episode of How Did This Get Made about Batman & Robin). I give it 2 stars instead of 1 solely because of the architectural details.
At first glance, the art looks really beautiful — moody, responsive, and atmospheric — But it really didn't make sense when reading the comic. It took me a while to figure out why it looked so weird and then it hit me: most of the characters' mouths were closed when they were talking. It looks so ridiculous. And the color palette is awful. It's almost all a soft charcoal color, with some not-very-dark darks and some very strange pastel color accents. Gross.
There's also just waaaay too much writing. It was so boring to plod through because there was too much to read with so little visual pay-off. I had no investment in the plot or the characters, and one of the characters is Batman!
Unterzakhn by Leela Corman
It had been a while since I read a true graphic novel, as most of the graphic stuff I read (at least in 2012) is non-fiction. This book is about two Jewish twin sisters living in New York in the early 20th century, and the different paths they take. Life was pretty rough and tumble in those days, and there aren't very many sentimental frames in this book. It was a time of great possibility, but also of some very sharp and harsh differences in class and culture along those ethnic lines.
Corman really brings life to the pages through the Yiddish dialect and the bustle of the streets. She captures the excitement, difficulties, and clutter of the time period. Her drawing isn't pristine (something I really like in my comics) but it is stylish. There's room for outrageous expressions and comic portrayals as well as beautiful and careful renderings, and the story isn't hampered or diverted by that.
The sisters end up in vastly different places than I expected, and the story was always shifting and growing with these fallible and very flawed women. All in all, a very successful book.
2012 Reading Challenge
I have been reading a lot lately, and not really blogging about anything. Ugh. I know I should be writing more. Baby steps. Here is a little bit about some of the young adult novels I've read lately.
Beauty Queens by Libba Bray
READ THIS. Here's the gist: a plane full of beauty pageant contestants crash land on an island and have to fend for themselves. It sounds pretty silly, but trust me it was amazing.
It was insanely awesome to read a book that is about all the things I love (disability, bodies, gender, sexuality, beauty pageants, television, etc.). Most novels (YA especially) I've read that deal with any one of those issues has done it in a way that is so tacky and dumb. This book was so goofy and fun while also being A+ on the stuff I care about. I was so energized by reading it!
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Do not read this. Here's the gist: A boy, Thomas, wakes up in an elevator that opens into a glade with enormous stone walls where a bunch of different boys are living. This glade is in the middle of the maze, and the doors to the maze open every morning and close every night.
This book was so unsatisfying. About 100 pages in there was a really exciting moment that hooked me for about 20 pages and then fizzled out! I hated (HATED) the main kid. Obviously in these distopian novels, the main character is special in some way. But what makes those characters tolerable is that they don't really know or believe that they are special. This kid knows it and he is insufferable.
Coraline by Neil Gaiman
Recommended! Here's the gist: a girl living in a weird old house discovers a door that opens into a house a lot like hers but creepy. There's her other-mother and other-father in the other-house with her other-neighbors, same but very different.
Neil Gaiman is definitely my favorite author, but satisfying endings are not necessarily his forte. This one definitely has a great ending though. I can't believe this is for children, because it was very scary! All of the situations were very evocative and so strange. It was a fun, quick read and I can see how and why it was adapted into a graphic novel and a movie!

The »Memorial to Polish Soldiers and German Anti-Fascists«, erected in the Volkspark Friedrichshain in 1972, honours the soldiers of the Polish communist underground army Armia Ludowa (english: People's Army) and German communist resistance fighters who stood up to National Socialism. Since 1995, the memorial has also been dedicated to non-communist resistance fighters and soldiers.
In January 1942, the communist Polish Workers' Party (Polish: Polska Partia Robotnicza, PPR) established an underground army called the People's Guard (Polish: Gwardia Ludowa) in occupied Poland. This organisation committed acts of sabotage and conducted many military operations against the German occupying regime between 1942 and 1943. At the end of 1943, the People's Guard had between 15,000 and 20,000 members. In January 1944, the People's Guard was renamed to People's Army (Polish: Armia Ludowa, AL) upon orders of the communist National Council (Polish: Krajowa Rada Narodowa). In the Summer of 1944, the AL joined forces with the Polish troops which had been assembled in the Soviet Union in 1943 under the command of Zygmunt Berling, which fought as the Polish First Army on the first Belorussian front. After these two forces had been united they were named the People's Army of Poland (Polish: Ludowe Wojsko Polskie). They took part, amongst others, in fighting in Eastern Pomerania, in the Battle of the Seelow Heights and finally in the battle for Berlin. In May 1945, the People's Army of Poland comprised of about 330,000 soldiers. It was the predecessor of the army of the People's Republic of Poland; it kept its name until 1989.
The memorial was initially dedicated to the soldiers of the Polish People's Army (Armia Ludowa) and to German communist resistance fighters against National Socialism. It was re-dedicated in 1995 and has since then also commemorated Polish and German non-communist resistance fighters, soldiers of the non-communist Home Army (Armia Krajowa), Polish soldiers who fought alongside the Allies as well as Polish forced labourers, prisoners and POWs.
The »Society of Fighters for Freedom and Democracy« (Polish: Związek Bojowników o Wolność i Demokrację, ZBoWiD) was the official, state-controlled veterans' organisation in the People's Republic of Poland. In 1965, it suggested erecting a memorial in the GDR to the Polish soldiers who fought in World War II. Contrary to initial plans, the governments of the GDR and Poland decided to dedicate the memorial to »Polish soldiers« and »German anti-Fascists« in 1967. The Polish side had requested a prominent site in East Berlin's city centre as a location for the memorial, suggesting amongst others the Pariser Platz in front of the Brandenburg gate. The GDR authorities, however, only offered the Volkspark Friedrichshain as a possible location. A German-Polish team of artists – Arnd Wittig and Zofia Wołska – jointly came up with the concept. The memorial was dedicated on May 14, 1972 in the Volkspark Friedrichshain. The memorial complex consists of three parts: a concrete column with bronze bunting, a German-Polish inscription which reads »Za naszą i waszą wolność – Für eure und unsere Freiheit« (English: »For our freedom and yours«), and a remodelled relief, which now depicts a Soviet soldier, a soldier from the Armia Ludowa and a German communist resistance fighter. During GDR times, commemorative ceremonies were regularly held at the memorial. A memorial plaque mentions the Polish People's Army's »contribution to the liberation of Europe's nations from fascism« and honours the »deeds of the German anti-Fascists«. The memorial was thus an expression of the politics of history aimed at forging a German-Polish friendship through the motif of a common fight against fascism. After German reunification, an additional plaque was affixed in 1995, honouring the non-communist Polish Home Army (Polish: Armia Krajowa) and commemorating Polish prisoners.

I am a 78 year old gay man retired to Delaware from Pennsylvania with my partner/husband of 55 years. This is my life; past present and future.
Sunday, June 28, 2009
A Day at the Beach
Today I decided to visit the beach in Rehoboth Beach. I live so close but rarely go to the beach. One of the reasons is that I am susceptible to a precancerous skin condition so I don't lie on the beach anymore seeking that sexy, healthy tan. But I do love breathing in the sea air and walking the boardwalk on a beautiful summer day like today.
On my way in I took along some of my neighbor's backyard vegetable bounty to deliver to a friend who has a place in Rehoboth Beach. This is a friend that I had dinner with last night. When I arrived, I noticed that he was edgy. Something was on his mind. It didn't take too long to find out when I asked to take a picture of him and his friend. He was angry and demanded "Why do you have a blog? Why do you do it?" I could see he was very agitated. What was his problem? I soon found out. His picture was on my blog. Now why is this a problem? He said he thought my blog was only read by a few of our friends, he didn't know the world had access to reading my blog. My friend isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. I explained to him that anyone could read the blog. Then he demanded again "Why do you write it?!" This took me back a bit but I responded that I write about my life. He quickly got to his source of agitation; he didn't want me putting his picture on my blog. His friend also stated the same request. I told them that wasn't a problem. I would not put pictures of them on any of my future blog postings.
I left this rather uncomfortable encounter with my friend to take a walk on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach. Today was a perfect summer day for the beach. A gentle breeze flowed in from the ocean. Hundreds of colorful umbrellas dotted the beach. The sounds of the sea gulls blended in with the gentle rush of the waves and the distant voices of the families sunning themselves on the beach completed the picture of summertime fun at the beach. While walking I found that I was still bothered by my friend's request. Why would it bother them that their pictures appeared on my blog? Then it hit me. It bothered them for the same reason as it bothers many of the gay men and women who travel from Washington D. C. to Rehoboth Beach and have their pictures appear on the Internet website of the local gay publication "Letters." They don't want their pictures on the website for the world to see. Someone might think they're gay. They might have to come out of the closet. As side note, I think it's ironic that many of the same people who don't want the world to know their gay are usually the gayest acting and their family, friends and co-workers already know they're gay. No one would be surprised by the revelation that they are gay. It is old news.
Yes friends, that's probably why my friends don't want their picture on my blog. I identify myself as gay and they don't want that association. Personally I am against outing anybody; gay, straight or bisexual. However, those gays who continue to stay in the closet are the gays who permit the oppression of gay men and women to continue. That's why I decided to come out in 1963, way before it was fashionable to come out. I've paid a heavy price for coming out. In fact, just tonight my partner told me a friend of his will not continue his close friendship with him as long as he "continues to live with the devil." That would be me. I am the "devil" he refers to. Why? Because I do not apologize for being gay and I am not ashamed of being gay. I never have been ashamed of being gay, unlike many of my gay friends many of whom are still in the closet. The simple fact is they don't have the moral courage to come out and be who they are. They would rather have their oppressors define them. That's more convenient for them. They are embarrassed and ashamed of being gay.
I'm not one of those gays who are in your face with "I'm queer, I'm here, get used to it." But, by the same token I don't hide my sexual identity. either. I don't make excuses, I don't substitute she for he when talking about events in my life. In a way I feel sorry for my friends who have permitted their oppressors to define their lives. Ironically, some of my friends who are deepest in the closet are the most sexually active even in their advanced years. The word that comes to mind is hypocrite. I think it is ironic on the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots that was the beginning to tossing the yoke of oppression off of gays, there are still self-hating gays who permit that yoke to stay on their necks.
This week we had one of the prominent family values politicians, Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina come out and admit that he couldn't keep his pants zipper up. Sanford, one of the first and most vocal critics of former President Bill Clinton's morality, fessed up to being unfaithful to his wife and children by his affair with an Argentine woman named "Maria." The word that comes to mind is hypocrite. Sanford is just one of many politicians, of both parties, who have been exposed as hypocrites. Sanford is a straight political hypocrite. Then there are gay hypocrites. They are comfortable in the closet and don't want to be exposed to the sunlight of honesty because they don't have the courage to face that life. Harsh words from me but that is the way I see it. Unfortunately I know too many of these people. Most of them are very nice, respectable people but they are scared to death of the truth. They will go to their grave never saying the words "I am gay" to a straight person. Those words may cross their lips while on the prowl for a sexual conquest but never in another context. These are the type of people who would permit a "fag" joke to go unchallenged in their presence. Early in my life I used to let the "fag" jokes go unchallenged until one day I had enough and after the joke was told I said "I'm gay and I don't see the humor in your offensive joke." I still remember the look on that individual's face when he heard what I said. He literally was speechless. As the Master Card commercial says, "Priceless."
I may be many things but one thing I am not is a hypocrite. I'll honor my friend's request and not put their pictures in any of my future blog postings. But one thing I want to let those friends know is that my blog postings are about my life. That is my honesty. If they are ashamed of their association with me because I have the word "gay" in my personal description on my blog, well then maybe they should stop being hypocrites and reevaluate their friendship with me.

My LOVER/HUSBAND and I love your blog. It's honest and always interesting. You can post our picture on your blog anyway time you feel like it. Very out, and very proud, Mike and Glenn
- Ron Tipton said...
Thank you Mike for your supportive comment. My goal is to always keep my blog honest and, hopefully, interesting. Otherwise I wouldn't do it. I post about my life.
- the cajun said...
Many of these people are from the old school of leading two separate lives and wouldn't know how to live only one honestly.
Too many are filled with fear of rejection and hatred for not being 'normal' that they have no other way to function but to hide.
Sad, really.
- Ron Tipton said...
Well said. You have put into a few concise words exactly what I was trying to say in my blog posting. Thank you.
While many of these gay men are fine and decent people they are incapable of coming out and living an honest and open life. They have grown so used to what they perceive as the comfort and security of their closeted lives that they will go to their graves keeping their true identity from their family, friends and co-workers.
It is a shame that they will never know the exhilaration of freedom that living an honest and open life would bring to them. You are right, it is sad. However, it is their choice. I chose not to participate in perpetuating their lie. If that interferes with our friendship, then so be it.

Dec 02, 2003: Skip This Rant and Read Shirky
As you can tell from my title, I'm a fan of this short but brilliant piece by Clay Shirky: "The Semantic Web, Syllogism, and Worldview". Shirky shreds many assumptions behind the Semantic Web by exposing a major crack in its ontological foundation: a reliance on syllogisms ("If A=B, and B=C, then A=C"). These little packages of logical goodness may sound nice on paper, but often require us to make huge generalizations and don't occur frequently in real life, where the Semantic Web is supposed to actually help us.
Shirky goes on to describe the Semantic Web as a kind of reverse engineering of the old artificial intelligence problem: AI doesn't work in ambiguous, multi-domain environments, like the real world for instance. So the Semantic Web's approach turns the tables by moving much of the burden from technology onto the shoulders of content authors: "Since it's hard to make machines think about the world, the new goal is to describe the world in ways that are easy for machines to think about." To that end, ontologists rely on metadata-driven solutions. And as Shirky and many others point out, this leap of faith assumes "...that many important aspects of the world can be specified in an unambiguous and universally agreed-on fashion". Any cataloger will tell you that such faith isn't well placed.
And yet to my complete shock, I increasingly hear the word metadata uttered with the same breathy excitement as such other recent panaceas as push, portals, and personalization. I'm aghast, yet in a sort of ironically pleasant way, as I've had to explain for years and years what metadata is and how it can be an important part of my clients' complete IA breakfast. But where balance of approaches, including metadata, makes sense, we instead encounter an attitude that a single silver bullet will do the trick cleanly and simply.
This all puts "LIS IAs" like me in an increasingly compromising position. With a background in librarianship, I ought to be gaga over metadata, muttering a mantra of "subject, author, title... subject, author, title...". Yet I find myself recommending that extensive investments in metadata be postponed, at least in the enterprise environment, in favor of less expensive and more feasible architectural approaches that won't go down in flames and force my clients into bankruptcy.
Why am I so uneasy with large metadata-driven approaches? One problem: in many environments, those espousing metadata as "the answer" don't recognize that there are really two types of metadata to wrangle with: structural (think attributes or fields) and semantic (descriptive values or controlled vocabularies that populate those attributes). Each of these can require an extensive investment to think through, develop, implement, and, perhaps most importantly, maintain. People's information needs are moving targets, as is an organization's content; the metadata that connect them naturally need to evolve as well.
Already have metadata? Then you might have another problem on your hands. Different business units or applications might make use of different metadata attributes. Your author is my composer is her creator; how do we resolve these differences? These differing "world views," as Shirky describes them, make it challenging to achieve structural interoperability: all of our sources of metadata agreeing on which attributes to employ, and what to name them.
Even if we can all agree to the same metadata attributes, we still have more conflicting world views to tackle. What you call "cell phone," Sales refers to as "digital assistant," Marketing brands as "communications solution," and Support labels "mobile phone". Anyone who's tried to get their company to agree on a vocabulary as seemingly simple as product names knows what I'm talking about. Achieving this sort of semantic merging is perhaps the most difficult aspect of metadata development; while there are complicated methods to merge semantic metadata, such as cross-walking terms and developing meta-thesauri, very few organizations have the money or brain power to take this on.
Shirky sums up many metadata challenges with a concise statement: "it's easy to get broad agreement in a narrow group of users, or vice-versa, but not both." Hey, if you don't make your metadata structurally interoperable, you can't have semantic merging. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat? Silly Pink Floyd references aside, I've tried to capture all of this in a nifty diagram (40 Kb PDF file).
If this all sounds like the Mother of all Migraines, you're spot on. Probably too challenging for most of us, even if our content management systems suddenly sprouted new code to adequately support metadata management. And even if we could get everyone in our organizations--or, in the case of the Semantic Web, every web publisher on the planet--to share the same "world views" as expressed by metadata.
Well thanks for getting through this rant. I promise I'll return to concise, reasonable blogging mode soon. In the meantime, just read the Shirky article.
Comment: Adrian Howard (Dec 2, 2003)
I'd take a look at http://www.poorbuthappy.com/ease/semantic/ - a nice review of Shirky's piece along with the many, many responses.
I'm with the "mostly a straw man" camp. I've yet to meet anybody whose definition of "semantic web" matches Shirky's definition.
Comment: Lou (Dec 2, 2003)
Adrian, looks like great stuff; thanks for the pointer.
Comment: victor (Dec 3, 2003)
True that boil-the-ocean projects are bad, but semantic web projects don't have to be. Enter Paul Ford, who - besides countering Shirky's misguided arguments[1] - recently released Harpers.org, a semantic web project that cost under US $100K and was done by a handful of people[2].
It's like Flash: the technology isn't the problem, bad design is the problem. In both cases we simply need to learn more about how to do this right. This is a long term vision that won't be solved in the short term, especially by those with little patience[3]
Comment: Clay Shirky (Dec 7, 2003)
_I'm with the "mostly a straw man" camp. I've yet to meet anybody whose definition of "semantic web" matches Shirky's definition._
This is true, but not for the reasons you think.
The reason I don't lead with the canonical definition of the Semantic Web in the opening paragraph of that piece is that there _is_ no canonical definition. I've run into a number of people, notably Paul Ford and Tim Bray, who say "Of course that AI-in-the-sky stuff is nonsense", but who then fail to provide anything other than a generic motherhood-and-apple pie defintion that boils down to "metadata is good."
Adrian Howard continues the pattern of ignoring the actual quotes in the middle of the article, which are quite frankly insane, all from people purporting to explain the Semantic Web. He also offers no definition himself.
Having seen the criticism of that piece over the last month, I am convinced that the Semantic Web is so vague as to be undefinable, and that if anyone with any standing in the community put up a mission statement and said "There, this is what we are all working on", it would ignite a civil war.
As for Harpers's, Paul's project uses Semantic Web technologies, and is a very good site, _except for the semantics_. Take a look at its classification of e.g. the Democratic Party:
"This [category] is The Democratic Party, a political party and a United States bureaucracy. It is part of United States Government Bureaucracies, which is part of Government Bureaucracies, which is part of Organizations & Bureaucracies, which is part of Connections, which is part of Harpers.org."
Aren't you glad we got that all worked out?
The Democratic party is not in fact a Government bureacracy, much less part of the Government, and the ways in which the Democratic Party relates to the Government is totally different than the way it relates to Connections, a sub-section of Harpers, or to Harpers as a whole. It's just this sort of difficult in defining "facts", as Paul suggests Harper's is doing, and then automating their handling, that undermines the success of Harpers as an avatar of the Semantic Web.
Don't get me wrong, I think Paul has built a terrific site for Harper's, but the terrificness has everything to do with the flexible linking structure, and nothing to do with the semantics of the links themselves, which produce results like the one quoted above.
Comment: victor (Dec 8, 2003)
RE>Aren't you glad we got that all worked out?
Well, yes, actually. I rather like having Harper's world view neatly outlined in a reusable taxonomy, just in case I want to reuse it.
Beyond the physical sciences, all taxonomies are subjective. They simply reflect the material at hand and the point of view of the people practicing in those fields. The Semantic Web can't change that, it just makes the bits you want to use easier to use.
Comment: Denis (Dec 15, 2003)
*About the syllogism*... as I understood the articles, there is a concept mistake.
Aristotele descrined the syllogism to explain how sometimes people are thinking, but is not a rule to find answers :)
He knew that syllogims can result in absourd sentences... :)
Comment: Lou (Dec 21, 2003)
Seems like some of the debate here centers on whether we're discussing the Semantic Web or semantic webs. The latter are certainly feasible; Harper's is an example, and many of us have been working on similar concepts, though we might call them content models or information models. Clearly, AI approaches will produce greater value in narrow domains. But if we're considering the full Web as the scope of the Semantic Web, then we're truly boiling the oceans, as Victor describes it.
We can learn to develop localized semantic webs based on some of the thinking that's gone on regarding the Semantic Web (as well as from metadata development, content markup, and other related areas that have been around for years and years). But it's time to abandon the pipe dream of a singular, monolithic Semantic Web; it's impractical, and most likely not even feasible.
Comment: Lou (Dec 21, 2003)
Good stuff on Semantic Web versus semantic webs, this time from Very Smart Guy Alex Wright:
Clearly, I'm a bit behind on the discussion; glad that folks like Peter van Dijck and Alex Wright are blogging it all for the rest of us!
