Clarification (in après coup):
There is a deer in the headlights, captivated. Imagine this captivation broken by someone shouting the word car. Imagine now this deer has a human mind. The word makes the situation flash into shape, and the deer dart out of the way of the oncoming car. This is the register in which Aristotle makes the penultimate and the genuine definition operate. It goes from the word, to the general ground of that thing, to the specific difference. The word already contains the key to unlock being, but with the genus we find out more about what we are doing. Car, a vehicle, specifically one that is made for road travel; a road vehicle. To get the gist of the situation we only need the word. With the habitual understanding, and the systematic understanding, we come to negotiate by special accurate technique the possibility of the art of, say, driving, or crossing streets.
Everything in classical Greek thought remains tied to the car as a thing that is not matter, but rather a thing that is rather ambiguous, one can say of the many parts of the car that one does not know how many can be removed before it is no longer a car. All of Aristotle occurs in this space of the exhibiting of being, and not in an abstract zone where math describes things as if with indifference to the persons speaking.
This is rather like modern phenomenology, but with the profound difference that the depiction of what is there is teased out from natural doxa first and foremost, and not from an abstract demand for a clear-sighted picturing.

Give an example of this
straight from Aristotle
, in Greek if you like (to avoid historical doxa) or English - but either with the Bekker numbers - I'm genuinely interested. One often hears this type of thing spoken but usually the speaker resorts in the end to quoting Heidegger. It would be refreshing for some one to take the bull by the horns and give a direct quote. Then I feel discourse would proceed.
By the way, I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you.

disagree with you, it depends on what sort account you give of yourself. Just as did Parmenides (cf. Sophist), Heidegger, without meaning to, has created some very dark catacombs for latter-day sophists to hide away in.

I say, 'now imagine a human mind', and thereby I mean one prepared for
, but quite without
. As a match, to strike so that it burns like fire. Once burning, it can not be un-struck.
Dasein means, already, having come to be through logos. Being there, being about named things. Talking about folks like Felix (we wish to see for ourselves how naming, and so speaking the name, the singular individuals name, is different than doing something like evoking through the poem that lets be and does not speak about what is about, all the things and folks and events that are about us, as ordinary speech does. The poem wishes to evoke the whole of being). My wish, here, with this example, is to go to the moment of the lightning flash, the beginning of being; when the gleam delineates all that is about us.
Its difficult to accomplish this trick since we are talking to ourselves all the time in thought. And, in meditation (of course, I am only coarsely treating this matter), or some such mental fitness-work, we blot this talk out, either by causing the thoughts to stand as a kind of pseudo-emptiness through repetition, or by destroying ordinary reason altogether. Thats not the same as the animal that has not yet spoken a name and so has not called the world into being. Also, for certain reasons, being on this view, is not vanished in anything like Nirvana. That is a kind of 'nothingness on its own ground' (with reference to Nishitani.)
But why do you make a plenary dodge so far as the question is concerned, about growth, art, and fortune?

I missed your genuine question, for the deer question. All this I have explained to you time out of number, now again we must look at it, since we have not yet broken the spell.
All of Aristotle occurs in this space of the exhibiting of being,
We can see that, as I said, by noticing that Aristotle makes no division between substance and form. There is no formally correct, substantively false syllogism in Aristotle. Again, we can see this if we consider that for Aristotle, for example, justice is a habit. Aristotles whole teaching, that hangs on the theory of becoming, shows this.
That means that there is no knowledge apart from being, i.e., I can not know what is right and yet not do what is right. The Christian addition of transcendence (grace) is the beginning of this; that I know (always already as a genuine human being what is good) and choose to do good or evil (and thus all men are men in god, by this fact, in the Christian teaching), in the Thomistic sense, is unknown to the Greeks.
Again, in the later period, in modernity (before we spoke of medieval Christianity) there is theory; there is no theory in Aristotle, no Cartesian dualism. No pure reason apart from the phenomenal world. The idea is not for the Greeks theory (as if to say for some idle speculations, with perhaps the character of a pure heuristics, not unlike a pure math), but the basis of man's world: his moral universe (for Aristotle contemplation is the highest aim of man as man!).
In modernity there is not morality, but rather the causally thought how. A murder and an eclipse are subject to the same question, how did it happen causally? That questioning is indifferent to man as man. One can make this more explicit, but it requires a seminar length exposition. One needs to think this over, and see it, these vignettes need to point us to our own thinking and lives.

I see, now, with greater clarity (thus for a third time the cock crows, the pharisees speak):
It doesn't really matter what we find in Aristotle, we are not philologists. Do you really want to know what Aristotle thought, or what Plato thought, after all, they may have been simple fools? We want to get to the center of the Tootsie Pop, thats all.
So here the claim could be taken to be only that by using Aristotle and Plato we can get closer to the question about exhibiting. But, up to now we have not even said what that is. Saying what it is doesnt mean saying the last word, it means only pointing to it, or avoiding trivial ambiguity. The real ambiguity is what we are researching, that is our field of research.
Exhibiting means the difference between that something there when we come, eg, out of solitary confinement in San Quentin after thirty years, and see a box with symbols, and do not find a mobile phone. The difference between what is there and the mobile phone for example is what the matter of exhibiting is about. That is analogous to the example about reading, which you have consented to understand, saying, if you allow it to recure, that we will not find words on the open page if we can not read.
Whoever wants to understand the claim as understood by the Historicists, who reigned supreme for several hundred years before the domination of the authority of science, must starting with Vico follow through to Troeltsch, and then go on to Heidegger. Those will be their authorities; to see the view itself they must, rather than trying to prove the negative out of Aristotle, discover in history when the views said not to be in classical Greek thought emerged historically. That is necessary since otherwise we will simply find everything already in Plato and even in Heraclitus, and we will even call it charity, that we find it there, yes, they were very smart we will say, they thought already as we do.

Thank you for those insights.

Im always happy to talk, in my own way which is the norm on this thread - about things that interest me. Everything has boundaries that we hardly understand or even notice. We didnt come into the world like that. It is of great import to the young childs
note their grave attention when learning about them. They are fascinated by them in ways that the grown up has entirely forgotten what is bounded, what is unbounded; what is, for some unknown reason, allowed and what is forbidden
Perhaps that is what you are talking about here.
, limit; where there are limits there are boundaries. Where there are no limits there are no boundaries. A point for instance is not a limit and therefore has no boundaries, whereas a dot is a sign for a point and has a boundary, as do all signs. You can place a dot next to another so that their boundaries touch, but you cannot do the same for a point.
Signs have formal and informal boundaries. The informal boundaries are more difficult to see. A smoking cigarette with a line through it extends its informal boundaries to those it concerns. Both types are fascinating to the small child, but then, like Eliots strong brown god, are forgotten within the smaller boundaries of adulthood.
Plato was taught by his senior staff at The Academy to be mindful of boundary and interval, that every interval has two boundaries, whence the obsession for Pythagorean superparticular ratios: 1:2, 2:3 and 3:4 were seen as the founding bonds of music, for example. The Greeks were able to evolve the geometry of the Babylonians by a similar insight. They saw that, where it was the norm for Mesopotamians to use a single sign, lets say a, for a length (that is, interval), they, the Greeks, realised that if the line was instead named after its boundaries as, say, AB, this would evolve a science to accommodate things that could not be conceived before, such as
(arithmetic, harmonic and proportionate) between
. This gave them a whole new
capable of constructing advanced proofs of theorems which the Babylonians and Sumerians knew about instinctively but had no means (
) of confronting.
Forgive me (as I forgive you) for asides such as this, but they spark something akin to the lightning of the deer you quoted from the Seventh Epistle in a person like myself.
You have instituted a fascinating boundary in your comments on Felix the cat, who through no fault of his own, when being called in the dark for his supper, is proclaimed for his fertility, fortune and success. And, as you say, there is quite a different situation when a cat enters through the bounds into poetry. How do you see the bounds that demarcate the poetic sign? They exist, I agree, but the boundaries and the contents are exceedingly subtle. For example, I might begin a poem
Cause, Essence, Beauty, triple fountain head
Of Selfs sweet wisdom
I have no impetus to explain those words to you or any one else because they are not conversational but merely arrive verb-less and without preposition etc. but
in themselves, and set, as Shakespeare put it, in the tables of the heart. What follows may indeed unsettle them as I begin to tread the razors edge of poetic expression that is, as I try to remain within the boundaries of the poetic sign. If I tripped and fell outside those invisible bounds I, and any poet, would know at once that my words were no longer poetically said.
But this is all extremely subtle. The
are the lords of what can be exercised within the sign. Here is an example, I look at the poster (as I did as a child) entitled
The Rules and Regulations of the Upper Clapton Railwaymens Club
, to which my grandfather belonged. It proclaims its boundaries, and to me as a child even the paper it was printed on seemed full of authority and forboding as did the thick black border that enclosed it, certainly different to all surrounding paper all who enter these
will abide by their rules.
You see these thresholds everywhere, on calling cards, leaflets through the door, on bank-notes, ensigns, coats-of-arms of all sorts. Perceive the
in a certain, I would call 'proper', way and you are suddenly outside them, as a poet, or an artist or a philosopher. Are you getting me? I hope so! Thats why a poet can take the The Rules and Regulations of The Upper Clapton etc. and carefully place them, not within their own bounds but within poetry's bounds. This is what much twentieth century art was about, a poetic resetting of the prosaic. That is all Warhol and others did.

Yes, that is perhaps so. The Greeks know nothing of points. Points only become audible with Leibniz (or one must at least say: sometime after Descartes, although certainly they are prepared by the Church Fathers).
If limit is then metaphysical, defining, then there is also what is pre-metaphysical, the μέτρα as measure which does not yet operate abstractly as with Platos geometry. For in Plato there is the transmission of a tradition planted by the few and carefully tended by competent initiates, and which is very far from the sentiment of the many.
Thereby we must understand poetry as not binding in the fashion of limit as the word abstracted from speech does. But we must see that the expression is living. Here, if not apposite to the utmost, I present what is a least an intersesting diversion:
However, in Plato and Aristotle I would say we err if we assume there is anything like the modern theoretical physics departure that you seem to indicate (that a matheme operates as a recondite function and reveals what can not be thought). For that would require us to find in number something that represents, here there is no idea of representation as if in a brain. The soul in Plato is immanent as are the opinions that Aristotle reads his ideas out of. This is a particularly treacherous ground.
Consider this study which is much closer to us in time to see what caution I am striving to bring to the sight of our stupified faculties, which go along unweary of the greatest difficulties:
If we speak of Felix within a grammatical deixis we err, the tacit speaking of an écriture can not possibly lie in an illiterate people who sing. For Homer, or the many Homers, logos is of various and versicoloured measure and a deep millennial becoming is therein spoken: thus he is thinkable as a text in so far as, for example, the dialogues of Plato gives us polyphonic voice: Socrates speaks differently to this and that interlocutor. But the Homeric text is stratified within itself by the bringing together of many singers before many live and rapt participants (not merely listeners).
The poem can not be thought apart from participation. Thus there is no poetic speech as such, but there must be great poets as well. That there are great poets means also that there are those who can read the poems as they are required to be read. Tacitly this presupposes that the poet is not bound by the being of, for example, what a Starbucks is to the folk of this or that popular culture, or to the remote mud-brick dweller who comes upon that structure willy nilly, but that there is a versicoloured unveiling. Here there is not the collapse of distinctions or contradictions but the opening up of a more various view.
If Aristotle speaks of analogy, that is to speak of the engine of meaning is it not? Teleology, not this or that teleos, precedes metaphysics (not this or that sound, but hearing). Poetry names, if you ask me, for Aristotle, the most general, not the singular as you claim. It names that that is barely located at all. Whereas the consummate definition locates with precision.
If we speak of parameters as dividing lines we thus think into what has preceded such theoretical notions. Thus there is a grave danger. This is the same as the seductive anachronism of teleology prior to metaphysics. But such things seem useful at the outset, for otherwise how to locate the ground?
This goes for the speech about the whole or holon too. The whole means I say there is a mountain, and do not know what quantity can be removed before there is no mountain, or for example how many hairs can remain on a head that is not as yet thought as bald. Already this whole is perhaps a dealing clumsily with metaphysics that goes towards syllogistic and thus rigorous logical lock-downs.
Here I do not purpose to speak of a mechanics of estrangement or a deterritorialization as if of a distorting and stretching of playdough putty (which resets the prosaic). The sign then would be the goop. Here we must not dare speak of signs. We speak then of what is audible to the listening participant. We must herein go beyond all signs in this poetry.

I thought we might have a serious conversation but I believe you are not understanding anything Ive written here. Perhaps you ought to read it again with your thinking cap on. Or, better still, demonstrate your thoughts on poetry with a few lines of your own.
What you say about the point is, of course, factually wrong, but then, maybe you were just being argumentative.
I suspect we have reached a stalemate and am willing to suspend our discourse eternally if you are. But as forum moderator I feel bound bound to respond as best I can, wretched though that 'best' may be.

My thought: Leibniz. The only point that is no limit is the monad. Where is such a thing in geometry of any kind? A point is precisely a limit.
Perhaps what you intended to say about the thing you call point is that it is indivisible? We could litigate that out of, for example, Euclid if you wish:
σημεῖόν ἐστιν, οὗ μέρος οὐθέν.
A point is that which has no part.
Breaking down these Greek words, with a few references to their usage in the ancient texts, and no pretensions to philology, may be elucidating.
To start with:
Tufts prefers to say 'mark' Wiktionary gives: σημεῖον (sēmeion) (genitive σημείου) n, second declension
a mark, sign, token

My thought: Leibniz. The only point that is no limit is the monad. Where is such a thing in geometry of any kind? A point is precisely a limit.
I suspect here that he is referring to the fact that the monad has severed its connection with the physical world. A point has place but no dimension whereas the monad has neither place nor dimension. That does not deny anything I was saying. The very fact that the point can be placed on a line and divide it in the way I mentioned in my previous post makes it the beginning of my wonder and perplexity. Plato would talk of three distances and four limits - τρεῖς ἀποστάσεις, τέτταρας δὲ ὅρους where horous may stand for limit or boundary.
So why to go to Leibnitz - the wonder had been largely lost by then? He had other fish to fry. Before the Enlightenment even drew a breath Leonardo talked of the point in the Greek way. Plato and the Academy (the source of much of Euclid) differentiated between Parmenides sphere which had parts by way of a boundary and a centre, and the part-less point. The monad or pure mathematical unit was according to Socrates also indivisible, but the Greek approach is not easy to comprehend. For example they had no real concept of a number line. But this is a subject worthy of our genuine theoria rather than being brought forward as an aside.

I think the point in classical geometry names the opening of relational thinking, and it means there are true limits that do not bound objects as bodies. In that we can see something of what occupies modern university professors, eg, sociologists and so-called philosophers, under the rubric of structuralism.
The monad, on the other hand, which was prepared by the conceptual bridge of the 'thought of god' with the Church Fathers and Schoolmen becomes the noumenal world in Kant. After Kant we find that speaking of what is outside the spatial temporal by way of purposing a content for it makes no sense (it has no meaning [eg history, the lives of men], no teleology). Yet this thinking still persists as a question under the rubric of Dasein, as that which clears a world, it has the dimmest of connections to this earlier problem of relations from which it sprouts.
Poetry is the answer to the question, what is thinking? Here poetry refers not to beautiful words: 'the austerity of letting be' means that words are allowed to be thoughtful, and in this thoughtfulness of language we may see something of what for the Greeks was still meant by beauty as the ordering, or cosmos.
Here we can not learn about this through repeating in a formal manner the way to this problem, by defining it again and again, but if we can locate it we must go beyond it at once. And so find it in all its sharpness and newness; for we must always think anew and not go to sleep.
In this endeavor, which we have hitherto treated with alarming carelessness, I find that what would help us would be to have a yardstick, thus I ask you again about the three terms in the Laws. Will you obstinately refuse to let us know about these? I think we need them to jump forward here.
Here the assumption is that we can not go into the trans-temporal and trans-spatial [which, indeed, do not exist], but we can think into what is. Dasein, I wonder, perhaps quite crudely, if this thinking can be conceived of as a growth, that has not risen to the coming into a techne.
The problem in the work of exhibiting in the Greeks and as far as your reading of Warhol, if you ask me, is that that remains on the ground of POV, we haven't yet made clear to ourselves the demarcation between what is thought as POV, which is the same as the historical movement of teleology, and the question about being. POV belong to the way Dasein was understood still in the 17th and 18th centuries, but in Being and Time (that someone has given particularly powerful expression to this or that idea which is a problem for us all should not be taken too seriously, one can not allow oneself to abide with or be locked too long beside this or that thinker) the reading which says being-there (actuality), drops entirely out of sight, and the question of the clearing comes to us, as a putative movement (there is here a relation between the sense of a moment, and the meaning of movement which brings us back to Aristotle in a flash; and the shivering moment has something in it of the thoughtfulness of language which captures these various things-alongside-things in an original way).

My research has brought me to the standard answer to your previous question, about why the Greeks are in Hegel entirely understood as exhibiting. You ask to be pointed to this in Aristotle. Thus you must look to the Categories, which is the Greek answer to the question how something is predicated of the matter that is there. As opposed to the scientific answer, that there is there an object treated by a subject. (here we leave unsaid the medieval view) If we wish to think again out of immediacy without the interference of the object and subject, we must go then to Kant who was the first to dispose of this doubling, showing that an abyss, as he says in the Critique of Practical Reason, opens into freedom (here we do not point to, eg, Schelling), that it can only be stopped in its contradictory, antinomy, as against the weight of gravity, by reason as thought as the simple judge of all that hangs over its head, it is this that Heidegger also returns to thus giving the other answer to the Enlightenment question about prejudice; that one removes it by returning thus to Aristotle, in so far as one stays close to what one knows, and does not like the fools dabble in pure thought (or what is called theory in the modern and not Aristotelian sense, since, of course, with the latter it is always rooted in immediacy, and so unlike the former does not serve to disturb the thinking part of the community in its noisy efforts), in this: the problematic here is that the return to a new beginning is thought out of the end of philosophy.
Hegel speaks of the matter of exhibiting when he mentions the sun alongside forgetfulness, the emotions speak then of wonder: In the geographical survey, the course of the World's History has been marked out in its general features. The Sun the Light rises in the East. Light is simply a self-involved existence; but through possessing thus in itself universality, it exists at the same time as an individuality in the Sun. Imagination has often pictured to itself the emotions of a blind man suddenly becoming possessed of sight, beholding the bright glimmering of the dawn, the growing light, and the flaming glory of the ascending Sun. The boundless forgetfulness - the forgetting of the self, unawareness only seeing these objectives the absolute, no awareness, self conscious strictly-of his individuality in this pure splendor, in his first feeling is utter astonishment. But when the Sun is risen, this astonishment is diminished; objects around are perceived, and from them the individual proceeds to the contemplation of his own inner being (his own inner sun), and thereby the advance is made to the perception of the relation between the two. Then inactive contemplation is quitted for activity; by the close of the day man has erected a building constructed for his own inner Sun; and when in the evening he contemplates this, he esteems it more highly than the original external Sun. For now he stands in a conscious relation to his Spirit, and therefore a free relation. If we hold this image fast in mind, we shall find it symbolizing the course of History, the great Day's work of Spirit.
Exhibiting means thus that I am in relation with, but not alongside of that which I speak of. I do not add myself to the substance when I say that is a small box. Whereas, the modern way is to break apart the smallness of the box, and show that to be an evaluation of a subject, and to further show the box to be a self-representation of an object. Thus one encounters an autonomous object. Whereas in exhibiting we do not encounter, but we bring ourselves into awareness of what we stand in relation to, as the one who knows about this or that.
Thus we must ask if we who have gone through the thinking of objects can erase what is known, we stand here in the end of metaphysics. In that we are connected to the plenum of all the ages how can we not be in History, thus we see why it is said that we stand in the end of History. The activity of exhibiting from the end of Philosophy is not to be thought as the activity of the Greeks, but only in conversation with that activity. Therein we have an opening to speak of being, as the background as yet not thought by us, we must think it new each time we consider the matter, that requires that we make clear the way to it.
Exhibiting thus the small box and the cell phone, making ourselves aware of them in their conceptuality with logic by way of defining and speaking, we see that something is left unthought in exhibiting, namely the movement between the two witnesses, that of the exhibitor who finds a world of a box and that of the same matter thought as a phone. Exhibiting in this way brings us to History, but history is neither thinkable nor experienceable in exhibition. It sits in the background. So long as History moves, it seems a process and a dimension, but in its closure it suggests being as the indefinite background between the earth, which opens to the first relation of mortals with gods, and the sky which is the closure in the full presence of beings as a totality.
Thus, also, from the ancient sources in regard to your question, we see that there is for the Greeks no vouchsafe, of objective measure, so that of, eg, responsibility (ἀρετή "arete") with the Greeks is a matter only of breeding and capacity. Whereas for us there can be no true responsibility, because all opinion about this is of the subject and of POV, and does not stand in the objective world as that which is of itself in the ideas, which are thus subjective fancy in the End of Philosophy.
We live in wordy times, thus I end my report, only, though of course I see you are not fit for these journeys, as your preference is to stay with authority and the professors, and depend on that, still, I can not help deploring your refusal to help us with the crucial information about the 3 terms in the Laws which we must think new again as from another beginning.

You are a peculiar fellow. How is it possible that you demand my attention to a passage in Laws and yet give no reference? If you mean 895d why not say, or if not, it's only polite to let me know. And who is 'us'? Is there a group of you bent on giving me a work out; or is it the 'royal 'we''? If you are so self important then it's probably for the best that I don't shoot from the lip and take time to furnish you with a worthy reply. I promise you that I will give this matter attention but it will be in my time.

Youre, I hope, quite right that I am too hurried. We are perhaps in no great hurry, and it would be as well, in that case, if we will by that procedure learn more, to keep back the technological essence. I can not help but saying, here we are probably right if we speak of an essence and not a drive. If we were to speak here of a drive we would perhaps stay with language, but it is through language that we wish to learn of its grounds, the background, or being. Truth comes through langauge, but the grounds that can not be thought nor found with the eyes is supposed by this way of proceeding to have its domain behind this.
On the other hand, it is not certain how essence is to be divided from drive, but the difference is that drive gives us no historical reference in regard to itself (I don't mean in regard to the theory).
You mean that you yourself dont live in wordy times? I think one could say just as well that one lives in noisy times, full of frantic doings. Its the best of times, and so on. Now, I dont think those terms must come from the Laws, that is just an idea. But, to have a yardstick, which you yourself vouch for, allows a seminar-like situation to open. So then you might justify the we to yourself on the basis of a participatory-like character. Although, I suppose, nowadays these questions are mostly forgotten and the fact that we ignore requests made repeatedly is to be expected.
Of course, here, also there is the question about the sense of one, it is possible to allow the pronoun here to speak to our purpose, in so much as it is a binding term, that names the horizon. Yet, the talon of a bird of prey also binds. As perhaps does a wash basin. That can be brought close to the question about the one and the many.
If one says we the idea is, it seems to me, of a collection of this or that participant. Meaning of those that come together and can again go away. But, in saying one the sense is of what is always, and thus not dependent on spatial coming together, but on what one calls a shared horizon. This one, it seems to me, can be understood as the same as Dasein, that is the same term. It does not mean being there, but rather something more akin to the way thinking gives any world.
One looks up into a totally black sky, there is the lightflash of the lightning that gives the primitive sense of directedness.

Understanding and Managing Conflit
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
In the managing conflict in organizations, social conflict is informed by various disciplines, including philosophy, biological sciences, and sociology. The evolution of organizational conflict management from the classical view to the neo-classical view to the modern view. Understanding these theoretical perspectives helps us analyze conflicts within organizations so they are productive and healthy, rather than destructive and dysfunctional. Choose a non-profit organization and answer the following questions:
1. As you analyze the need for a conflict management system in this organization, apply the discipline (philosophy, biological sciences, or sociology) that best informs the organizational culture.
2. Which view of organizational conflict (classical, neo-classical, or modern) is most appropriate to analyze the organization's perspective of conflict?
3. Rahim, M. Afzalur. Managing conflict in organizations , describes the conflict management process (diagnose, intervention, process, and structural). Apply each step in this process to the non-profit organization you have chosen. Be specific and provide examples to support your response.
4. Explain the differences between interpersonal, intrapersonal, intergroup, and intragroup conflicts? How might supervisors diagnose these types of conflict among their subordinates? Discuss why being able to identify the type of conflict is important. What are the appropriate structural and process interventions for each type of conflict? Which type appears to be most destructive for that organization? Explain your answer and provide examples.
5. As a consultant/systems designer for this organization, explain how you will incorporate ethical considerations.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com March 22, 2019, 1:26 am ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
I am part of a non-profit organization located on Okinawa, Japan. We are an athletic non-profit roller derby league called the Devil Dog Derby Dames. Our organization was founded in 2010 and has gone through many changes in that short time. I am the merchandise manager as well as the event manager for this organization, not to mention an active skater on one of the three teams. Holding positions in the league and being an active skater has allowed me to see the conflicts that arise from both points of view. There are many different types of conflict that we face on a regular basis. The need for a conflict management system is evident in our daily activities.
The discipline that best describes our organization is sociology. Sociology is the understanding of how the interactions we have with individuals on a regular basis helps to shape the person we are today, and the person that we will be in the future (American Sociological Association, n.d.). This organization is run by its skaters, for its skaters. We are all active duty military and military spouses stationed on the small island of Okinawa. We come from all walks of life, religions, life experiences, and morals. These differences in ourselves we bring to the table, and they affect how we interact with one another, and how people respond to us. We are always learning from each other, our coaches, and those around us. Through our interactions we strive to build a relationship with our community by doing community service in both the military community and within the community of our ...
Solution Summary
Conflict is inevitable in life and business. The ability to evaluate the conflict in an organization is essential to the success of the company. By addressing organization conflict and having a conflict management system in place will ensure that situations are resolved quickly and that productivity is not affected.

Product Details
Drawing from his experience in creating the Calibre 99.0 and Calibre 99.1, Dirk's vision was to add a power reserve complication without making the movement "bulky". Dirk had studied a number of other power reserve complications, and noticed that most used an excessive number of wheels to achieve this function (eight to ten in most cases).
By using such a large number of wheels, the power reserve indicator itself became less accurate due to its inability to measure subtle changes in the tension of the mainspring.
Dirk's solution - design the power reserve module from scratch, and after many trials and tests, Dirk created a power reserve function with just three wheels, making it immediately responsive to winding
Additional features include an oversized analog sweep seconds display at 9 to perfectly balance the power reserve indicator. Everything is here - 3/4 plate, beveled edges, screw balance wheel, swan neck regulation, engraved balance cock, screwed gold chatons, and blued screws (by flame of course, including the slots).
And now the extras. The name "D. Dornblueth & Sohn, Kalbe i./S.A." is hand engraved and not machine engraved, a virtually rarity on any watch. And all of the decoration (Côtes de Genve and the sunray finish on the crown wheel and ratchet) are all done in-house, by hand.
You'll notice that the movement is rose gold in appearance - this process itself is elaborate. After cutting and polishing the plate, Dirk treats the surface to turn the metal a copper color. After all of the drilling and milling operations are complete, the movement itself is treated with rose gold to enhance the deep color.
The dial is coated in silver, and is matte finished with black applied (raised) Arabic numerals and Glashutte "railroad track" markings around both the dial and subdials.
This watch features a brushed and polished nickel-free steel case and the crown is signed D. Dornblueth. Power reserve is 50 hours.
This watch ships on a black calf leather Dornblueth strap with Dornblueth stamped tang buckle.
WatchBuys has been working with Dirk Dornblueth and his team as their official North American distributor since his very early days.
We are honored to have been selected by Dirk to represent both his watches and his brand.
Our long association with Dornblueth & Sohn ensures that we know not only their watches, but also their manufacturing processes, movement designs and delivery timelines.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at (888) 333-4895 to speak with us about Dornblueth & Sohn watches. We'll take the time to answer your questions in detail and to provide advice on selecting a new watch.
We visit Dirk each year at his workshops in Kalbe, Germany and during the BaselWorld show to stay up to date on all new models.

Surrey flew their flag at half mast at the Oval as a mark of respect to cricketer Tom Maynard who died, aged 23, after an incident on London Underground's District Line in the early hours of Monday morning.
The venue will host a one day international between England and West Indies today but the match will be overshadowed by the death of the young cricket star.
Coach Andy Flower informed the England players of Maynard's death yesterday morning and Surrey seamer Jade Dernbach may now miss the rest of the three-match series on compassionate grounds.
Both teams are expected to wear black armbands, and a minutes silence will be observed prior to the match in memory of the Surrey player.
The news of Maynard's death caused shock throughout the cricket world.
Hugh Morris , managing director of England cricket, spoke about his sadness over the premature death.
'He had the world at his feet. I played with his old man when he played for England and Tom was very much on that pathway,' he said.
'In many ways he was very similar to Matthew.
'He was an incredibly talented cricketer. He played for the Lions in the winter. He impressed all the coaches there.
'They liked him as a person and as a player and to have his life cut short in this way is an absolute tragedy.'
Maynard was struck by a train at Wimbledon Park station on Monday, while reportedly trying to dodge police.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: 'At approx 4.15am on Monday, 18 June, officers stopped a vehicle after it was seen being driven erratically in Arthur Road, SW19.'The male driver of the vehicle – a black Mercedes C250 – made off on foot. Officers were unable to locate the man.'At approx 5.10am the body of a man fitting the same description was found on tracks near Wimbledon Park station.'
Surrey confirmed the tragic death of the batsman and right-arm off-break, who was the son of former England international Matthew Maynard .'Our thoughts at this awful time are with Tom's family and friends and all those that were close to him,' said Surrey chairman Richard Thompson.'Tom Maynard was a prodigiously talented young batsman who had made an incredible start to his career and was clearly destined for far greater things.'The impact Tom made in such a short period of time for Surrey CCC spoke for itself. There is a profound sense of loss at the passing of Tom.'To lose anybody at such a young age is an utterly senseless tragedy.'Surrey's t20 game against the Hampshire Royals at the Oval that was scheduled for this Wednesday has now been postponed.
Former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff, paid tribute to the youngster on Twitter.'Tragic news that a great lad , Tom Maynard is no longer with us . All my thoughts are with his family at this awful time x x,' wrote Flintoff.While ex-England captain Michael Vaughan, said: 'Thoughts are with Matt Maynard and his family.. Words can't describe the Terribly sad news that Tom Maynard has died aged 23…' #RIPTOM'View the story "Tributes pour in for Tom Maynard" on Storify

The Journey guitarist recalls colorful times with Roy Thomas Baker, Geoff Workman
By Peter Lindblad
|Neal Schon - The Calling 2012
Some are simply eccentric, a little strange but ultimately harmless. Others are complete loons, absolutely certifiable and more than a bit scary – Phil Spector comes to mind. Down through rock and roll history, some of the most interesting figures have been music producers. Journey's Neal Schon has run across a few in his time.
Roy Thomas Baker, famed for his work with Queen and his innovative method of stacking harmonies, made sweet music with Journey on 1978's Infinity and its follow-up, 1979's Evolution. For 1980's Departure, as Journey put its nose to the grindstone and put out three hit-laden records in three years, the band was put through its paces by Geoff Workman. Though different, both men were uniquely talented studio artists, capable of wringing the best performances possible out of their clients. And both were a little … different.
"I remember we did have a great time with Roy Thomas Baker and Geoff Workman; they were two characters – I mean really strong characters, both individuals," said Schon, who will release a new solo instrumental album on October 23 on Frontiers Records titled The Calling. "You know, Roy was very flamboyant. He always had this king's chair and he wore this king's crown – you know, it was like Monty Python, for real. And Geoff Workman was like a pirate, and you know, he was always smoking a French cigarette and drinking a case of Elephant beer. It got very colorful in the studio."
For Schon and the rest of Journey, whose direction had shifted somewhat with the addition of Steve Perry as vocalist on Infinity, as the band morphed from a collection of jam-band hippies from San Francisco to architects of a pop-infused hard rock Hoover Dam that generated hits instead of electricity, Evolution was made at Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles at a time when they were feeling their oats.
"We had some late nights, all-night benders (laughs), I remember that," said Schon. "We were partying a lot as a band back then. I remember that the studio we were working in, we came in one morning, and I believe that Woodie – Ron Wood – and Keith Richards were in there the night before, and a couple of the guys were still sleeping on the floor. So, it was funny. I met them that way, and the studio was down there. We just waited for them to get up and got out, and we got our studio time started."
Schon waits for no one anymore, as the rushed recording process of The Calling so aptly demonstrates. On a break from his duties with Journey, Schon made the most of his time, working quickly with former Journey mate, drummer Steve Smith, to create a surprisingly heavy and progressive set of tracks that travel through diverse musical terrain.
"I went in with a completely blank canvas, and a lot of colors, and the colors were all the guitars and amps I brought in, and obviously, the musicians that I played with," said Schon. "And Steve Smith, it's been a while since him and I got together and played, and the creative juices were just flowing. Really, I came in there unprepared. I hadn't written any material. I had a few riffs here and there, and we sort of went at it day by day, and went about it in a similar way to when I'm working by myself at home, where I'm sort of playing up the instruments like on a demo, where I took a drum loop and instead of using a drum machine – which I would use at home – I had Steve Smith there, which was much better. I had him do a tempo for a certain riff that I would come up with, and I'd have him loop it for like eight bars, on the Pro Tools, and I'd say, 'Give me a half an hour or 25 minutes to map this thing out.'"
Briefly repairing to another space, Schon continued to sketch out the mental musical blueprints he and Smith would follow.
"And so then I'd just take a rhythm guitar and have these definite drum loops going the whole time and I'd arrange what I'd need till the end of the song and all the different sections – the solo section, the intro, the heavy section … you know, all the sections and so forth, just like you'd arrange any song," explains Schon. "And then, at that point, Steve Smith would come back in and would write down on paper musically what I played on guitar, the arrangement; then we'd talk about which was the heavier section, which was the solo section, and there's the groove section, where the melody happens, you know, and then he'd play with different velocity. So he's essentially a musician like that where he can see the landscape far in advance as well as I can."
Working with Smith, who was trained in jazz at the revered Berklee College of Music prior to his joining Journey, was a revelation for Schon.
"It was a joy to work with him; he's actually the perfect guy for me to work with on a project like this," said Schon. "And so we would then go in, replay the drum loop, play the whole song together as if we were playing as a band, with all finished parts. And then I, immediately after that, before we went on to another song, would slam down the lead guitar, like we'd always do and do a couple of things, all the way through what was in my head. We didn't have anything written. We just kind of winged it, you know. And it came out. It just came out. To me, that's the beauty of this record – that it just kind of fell out of the sky, and you know, there wasn't a lot of thought put into it. So whatever did come out, it was completely from the heart and soul. It was very organic, and I love the organic way of recording where it's not so thought out – the old blues thinking, from all the old cats, like if you're thinking, you're beaten, you know (laughs)."
Schon had more to say about his days in Journey in our interview, and we'll have more on that later. So, keep watching this space for more with the guitarist, a teen prodigy who played with Santana at Woodstock, and his incredible history.

With this configuration a dreadnought can deliver 3 flamer templates and still it has its Dreadnought close combat weapon. Also, it has an Armour Value of 13 making it impervious to small arms fire. What more can you ask from a model costing only 135p?

Lea Seydoux finds a look that works for almost any event, Amanda Seyfried goes natural(ish) for evening, and Dakota Johnson is pretty in peach. Here, the red-carpet beauty looks we loved this week.
Lea Seydoux at AOL Studios: Lea Seydoux's versatile look — a tousled bob with red lips — can take you from your engagement party to the rehearsal dinner, and even the wedding. (We love the juxtaposition of a formal evening gown paired with undone hair. So chic.) Plus, we're all about that cherry red shade she's wearing: It's not too orange, not too dark, and just adds the perfect pop of color. For a similar look, try Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Sunscreen SPF 15 in Cherry.

Amanda Seyfried at the 12th Annual CFDA Awards: A side-swept, slicked back bun like Amanda Seyfried's isn't just super glam, it's also low maintenance because it's pretty much guaranteed to stay in place all night. We love how the actress paired it with neutral makeup, concentrating on perfecting her base and bringing out her eyes with soft brown eye makeup instead of black, which can sometimes look harsh on pale complexions.
Dakota Johnson at the 19th Annual Hollywood Film Awards: Instead of adding color with bronzer, Dakota Johnson opted for warm, peach blush, which adds a pretty, healthy glow without looking too overdone. Paired with black eyeliner, nude lips, and wavy locks, this look is one that would be so perfect for a destination wedding.

How to Become an Animal Psychologist
Those who want to become an animal psychologist must first complete the necessary educational requirements by graduating from an accredited psychology degree program. Those who possess a psychology degree with a focus on animals will typically study animal behavior. The term animal behaviorist is often interchanged with animal psychologist. Some animal psychologists may specialize in a specific type of animals such as mammals or reptiles, or even in a particular species within such a category. Animal psychologists may go into a variety of different specialties such as teaching, government or private research, and/or zoos and aquariums.
What degree is required to become an animal psychologist?
Although one may first obtain a bachelor's degree in psychology or biology, typically, an animal psychologist will need to obtain a master's or a doctorate degree in psychology with a specific focus on behavioral science. If an individual cannot obtain a graduate degree immediately upon fulfilling their bachelor's degree requirements, they may apply to work as a paid assistant to a certified animal behaviorist until they are able to continue their education via an accredited psychology degree program.
In addition to education, one must become licensed to work with animals. The highest certification that one can obtain in this field is the Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist (CAAB). Certified applied animal behaviorists come from a variety of different backgrounds, such as veterinarians who have obtained additional training in applied animal behavior. In general, however, they typically all have a broad background in animal behavior theory, as well as application.
How long does it take to become an animal psychologist?
Those who are completing their doctoral degree in psychology can anticipate it to take between four and seven years, depending on the course work that is required. In addition, the exact time that is needed will be dependent upon whether a student opts to attend their educational program on a full-time or a part-time basis. There is also a time factor involved with the completion of one's dissertation, as well as a period of time that must be spent fulfilling clinical and/or internship requirements. Online psychology programs may help in fulfilling a student's degree requirements for becoming an animal psychologist.
Also factoring into the time it takes to become an animal psychologist is the period for licensure or certification that may be required for the individual's specific focus. Those who are pursuing the career of animal psychologist and possess a master's degree in psychology rather than a Ph.D. may wish to obtain certification through the Animal Behavior Society (ABS). For example, candidates who are attaining their Associate Applied Animal Behaviorist credential must have completed a research thesis during their master's degree in psychology program and also have two years of animal behavior work experience.
What is an animal psychologist's salary?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual median wage for psychologists overall in May 2010 was $68,640. This, however, is just an average, and pay can vary a great deal depending on one's career focus and demographic area. For example, those who work as animal psychologists in 2012 earn an average salary of $80,000 per year.

Genesis 1: 20-25
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Time to Give Giroud some credit?
This feels rather nice – so often I'm writing about 'my' players like Mesut, Theo or Lolo and often having to defend them (certainly Theo!). It's nice to write about a player, who I have no deep weird man love for, despite his charming good looks! But, please, Olivier Giroud, take a bow. You deserve it, son.
He is a player I've always liked and have always regarded as a valuable member of the squad. He has however, taken a load of stick in his time.
I tweeted about the big man in November, after his leveller at Old Trafford:
Funny enough, Giroud's role now is vital to us – in the bigger picture, he is more valuable to us now then when he was first choice! #AFC
— Akhil Vyas (@10akhil) November 21, 2016
…And I firmly believe this is still the case.
For years, Giroud was a scapegoat and one of them reasons, in my opinion was because he was seen as the replacement to Robin Van Persie. In reality, Robin Van Persie was replaced by Giroud and Poldolski to share the workload and goals. It was a mighty difficult talk but as we look back, we should be praising him, not thinking about who he replaced. We should also be praising the club and manager, who deserve credit in signing a player for 12m who is about to reach 100 goals.
He, until this season, had been playing up front for as long as I can remember, on his own, with no real support. Poldi came and tried, as did Theo but no one ever was in the same bracket as Giroud in that role.
Alexis has now shown himself to being a striker, or at least been giving the opportunity to shine there which is actually helping Giroud. He now has competition and more importantly, some real competition, he needs to perform, unlike before, when he was the 'ONLY' option, he is now 'AN' option.
I also don't think it's a role Giroud actually minds – when Arsenal were linked with Luis Suarez, Giroud said this:
"When the name of Suarez was circulating, I honestly thought it was a good thing for the team. We could have complemented each other," Giroud told L'Equipe .
"Suarez would have been a cannon… and he can also play out wide."
However, Giroud didn't look quite so fondly upon the chase for Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuain.
"It would have been difficult for me with a different player. "We (Giroud and Higuain) would have been in direct competition because he is a pure central striker. Of course, at the time, it would have bothered me a bit. But I was not afraid of competition."
It's clear that Giroud wasn't keen on being replaced (naturally) but was keen to get a 'different' type of player and that player didn't end up being Suarez (due to Arsenal's stupidity) but has become Alexis (due to Arsenal shrewd summer signing of 2014).
Once Walcott and Ozil are back (which they should be on Saturday) it means more depth and options up top. Giroud may, like he has over the Xmas period, be expected to lead the line and perform or at times be expected to come on and make a difference like he did at Sunderland or in Manchester.
When you look at rating and reviewing the success of signings, you look at the quality of the player, the length of service, the price, the wages and make a judgement and in all those aspects, Giroud has been a fantastic signing.
Let's give him the credit he deserves.
Up The Arsenal

Renew or Die
Call it developement, evolution, rebellion or whatever you like, but one thing is certain; this doesn't need to be a social change, it might be an inner revolution manifest by something as "little" as a hair cut.
Yes, I have a theory and doubt about the subject.
Happiness because of those moments when my grandma used to braid my hair while we talked for hours. My classmates use to call me Rapunzel in kindergarten and elementary school because of my sleek and long long hair that use to reach my hipbone.. this reminds me of all the times I played the princess.
Growth might be difficult to explain, but it began when at the age of nine, after my daddy passed away, I decided to chop of my hair from my hips to my chin. This, if I think about it, might have been a silent scream for change or intent of a fresh start.
When I entered secundary school, my spaghetti sleek hair decided it was the time to grow into a curl explosion and everything changed... Lucky for me I developed quite a skill for brading which saved me and still does, from enduring a crazy mane the days I wake up late...
And lately, I've had toughts about getting rid of a major part of it. It might be a reflection of everything I've been trough this past year as well as a milestone in my stock.
It would be a more a vanguard look to embrace my new role as fashion blogger, writter and high school student as it would also serve to leave things behind... Like "the boy you never told to like you..." as Selena Gomez would say, pesimistic ideas, insecurities and all those matters that come along with adolescence, which I've been told it's only a stage in our existence and doesn't last much (THANK GOD)
Still I don't know what to do...
Would this really be a mental change as much as it is physical?
Will it work?
Am I brave enough or able to leave all those things behind?
Can I endure losing my accomplice?
Have you ever had an urge for change? What do you think?
Be or not to be.. that's the dilemma.

WTF? Why does this app start up with the phone like it's a service and create an icon in the notification bar? It's an app that people use to remove apps, it shouldn't run as a service, and it shouldn't sit in the notification bar. Sorry- FAIL.

I'm really loving the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues? A small number of my blog visitors have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari. Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?
4:45 AM on August 20th, 2011
Yes, a paid, ad-free version of this app would seal the deal. Or, at least, tie your "donation" apps to links of ad-free version(s).

In 1919, Mount Carmel Hospital opened in a converted Masonic Lodge in Colville, Washington. Established by a doctor and two women who responded to a need in their community, Mount Carmel was named after a hospital in New York.
The hospital was purchased and renovated by the Dominican Sisters in 1940, but it was soon filled to capacity. In 1944, the Sisters purchased the Dr. Harvey Building on the north side hill. After both buildings proved to be inadequate, plans were made in 1947 to build a new facility.
The Sisters purchased property and began construction in 1951 on a 50-bed structure, including a chapel and convent on the third floor. In 1968, a new convent was constructed adjacent to the building, and the vacated third floor housed a new pediatric unit and additional room for patient care. Bed capacity increased to 55 beds.
From 1971-1989, Mount Carmel continued to grow and expand services, including:
Sponsorship was turned over to the Sisters of Providence in August of 1993.
Growth continued, and in 1998, Mount Carmel completed a remodeling project that expanded the Emergency Department modernized patient rooms for increased comfort.
And in 2009, construction was completed on a new 70,000-square foot addition, extending Mount Carmel's legacy into the future, bringing advanced technology and expanded services to town while focusing on patient comfort and privacy.

The iPhone camera is a fun tool because it's fast and easy and there's basically no editing required, unless you want to add filters and whatever. I don't do that much, though it could be fun to mess around with that stuff some more in my free time…but if you look at my life in my pictures, you realize that there's not a lot of free time in my life. But it's a pretty blessed life, so I'm not complaining.
Since it's summer I'm slowly but surely crossing things off my project & to-do list. This canvas sign hadn't been on the list very long, but since I wanted to use it in my "summer décor" in the living room, and I had recently found a canvas during an organizing project from another uncompleted project that would work, I got right on this project and finished it up! It was really fun and I used the tutorial here, except I changed the words and I cut them out of vinyl instead of painting them. Pinterest Success!
A few more GEMS Camp pictures…above was the inside of my van before I put the children in there. Most of that stuff didn't come home with us, but it was still almost as full on the way home. Crazy how that works. All I know is, it's a good thing I got the packing gene from my daddy, or it never would have all fit.
Elise had to take the swimming test at camp and the first time was really heart-breaking. She didn't quite make it to the end before turning around and so they wouldn't give her the bracelet so she could do the blob and the slide and other such fun lake items. She was inconsolable for quite some time. Later on, though, she took the test at the pool, which was much simpler and far less scary than lake swimming and she passed! Way to go, Elise! She got to do the blob once, and I have a video of it…but Ed says maybe I need something else installed on my computer in order to view and post it…
A fun picture of me & Tami at the campfire on Saturday night. Love this girl!
Sarah's first day of work!!
Sarah started working at Logos as an intern in the Content Innovation department the day after GEMS Camp. It's not a real exciting job, but now she is starting to talk to people a little and enjoy it a little more. And she is earning money and learning how to work for it. It's good.
Sarah went to work, and so did I! I made up some summer rules and schedules and chore charts and mounted them on the fridge. We followed them pretty good for a week and then the girls started Summer Stock…so…we haven't followed them for the last 2 weeks. But next week, we will start again!
This really happened. I was at Costco. I asked for a box. This is how my cart looked when I pushed the cart away from the checkout lanes. Seriously?! I actually meant I wanted my stuff in a box…next time I will have to be more specific I guess…
The girls & I went to the mall. It happened to be the grand opening of H&M. We had no idea. We figured we ought to document such a momentous occasion. We didn't shop there…too crowded!!
And there it is. TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES on my Chevy Venture. And I have driven the majority of those myself. I was driving when it happened. I *did* pull over to take the picture. I had to set a good example for my driving daughter, after all. Ignore the "service engine soon" light. It just stays on all the time now. We are praying this van makes it all the way to Yellowstone, around Yellowstone, and back home from Yellowstone in August. If it does that, everything else will just be icing on the cake or money in the bank.
Speaking of vehicles…
This one is now our 3rd vehicle…otherwise known as Sarah's car. Gulp.
The little girls decided that since we have 3 vehicles, we should give them more interesting names. My van is "Big Red", aka "Clifford." Ed's car is "Little Red" and they think Sarah should name her own car. I think she should call it "Drive very carefully with my phone locked in the trunk."

Fr Bill Miscamble csc, University of Notre Dame Indiana
- 13 July 2018
US President Donald Trump: People either love him for his political incorrectness or loathe him for his tactless style – either way, he the hype across media outlets around the globe.
With a packed audience, our guest speaker Fr Bill Miscamble csc who is Professor of US History at Notre Dame University (Indiana), attempted to unravel some of the truths and misconceptions about President Trump's administration. Covering topics like the aftermath of a hotly contested presidential election, the flurry of Tweets, resignations and appointments, and recent political developments with Israel and North Korea, Fr Miscamble left our guests wanting more.
Fr Miscamble's particular interest in American foreign policy post-World War II is reflected in the works he's penned, two of which have earned him a Truman Book Award. The Australian-born native readily admits that Trump is not an easy man to like and rightly criticises Trump for previous past behaviours. However, he encouraged the audience to consider the Presidency in light of its policies, and accomplishments.
Trump has succeeded in tapping into working class Americans' genuine concerns, especially those who feel shunned by an elitist establishment. His 'America First' slogan is firmly focused on making this proud nation great again, even at the expense of asking allies to carry more of the load – as he did with NATO for its insufficient spending on defence.
The administration has seen the resurgence of a growing economy, improved jobs figures, and the introduction of tax reforms designed to boost local business and increase investment. In short, this president is delivering on many fronts.
While Catholic and other religious groups are divided in their opinion of the man because of his obvious character flaws and questionable tactics, Trump in his choice of nominees for the Supreme Court also ticks boxes for arresting the trend of this institution being used to further an overly progressive social agenda.
Fr Miscamble concluded his presentation by cautioning his audience of more turbulent times ahead for this important ally. A strong United States is in the world's best interests and there will continue to be expectations about the role it needs to play on the world stage. However, this position can only be sustained by its ability to address major internal economic, social and cultural issues.
What happens in US politics will inevitably impact on world politics, but it's not this man's province alone to solve all the world's problems either. The global community we live in is shrinking in many ways and we must all play a part in improving our own lives and that of others.

Musicians' Marathon
As part of the Anthem our musicians and staff pledged to complete miles of activity to raise money for the project. There were some truly inspiring challenges that happened in the name of this project including:
Ceri Jones, OAE Projects Director, did 500 Kettle Bell swings over 10 days. Some very tired arms at the end…
James Redwood (Composer and animateur), Matthew Truscott (violin), Jonathan Rees ('cello) and James Toll (violin) cycled the tour between them (1142 miles)
Roger Montgomery (horn) spent the last year doing amazing challenges including running the London Marathon and cycling in the Alpes. He tallied up the following unbelieveable stats:
2729 miles of cycling
1037 of running
114 miles of hiking
25 miles of rowing
5.5 miles of swimming
Cherry Forbes (Education Director) clocked up 100 miles by walking, cycling and swimming (100 miles)
Katherine Spencer (clarinet) ran 364 miles
Katie Heller (viola) danced 50 miles over 32 hours
Andy Watts (bassoon) cycled from Elgar's birthplace in Lower Broadheath to his burial place in Little Malvern and back again (30 miles)
INSERT PICTURE of Andy and bike
Debbie Diamond (violin) completed her swimming marathon five weeks ahead of schedule with a total of 26.75 miles
Hilary Stock (oboe) ran 1000 miles
Martin Kelly (viola) swam 26 miles
Timothy Kraemer (Education photographer and musician) is trekking round Morocco for five days.
He says "a kind camel will carry most of the load, so if you'd like to sponsor the camel, who you may consider far more deserving, I'll still be happy!"
Iona Davies (violin) ran 50 miles
Schools/teachers on Tour
Andy Painter, teacher from Torpoint Primary, walked 103 miles (in 48 hours!)
Deborah Rees, Deputy Head of Camden Music Service, completed 240 miles with the help of her walking group.

I bloody love cake.
Who doesn't? I mean. I don't even have a sweet tooth, but some days, absolutely nothing will do other than a slice of rich, gooey chocolate cake and a cup of tea.
*BRB, going to find chocolate cake*
So, I get a little bit excited when I hear that Cutter & Squidge, the creator of the Biskie (a fusion of cake, biscuit and cookie) have gone from successful pop-up to permanent Soho fixture.
Cutter and Squidge was founded by sisters Emily & Annabel Lui, and is an all natural bakery, so their delicious creations are completely free of any nasty artificial colourings, flavourings or preservatives. Which means they're actually good for you….right??
Treats in store will include biskie flavours such as Key Lime Pie, Cookies & Cream and the ever-popular Billionaire (Belgian chocolate, salted caramel and shortbread finished with 24 carat gold). Other goodies in store will include vegetarian marshmallows, Dream Cakes, honeycomb, and award-winning Cutter & Squidge Salted Caramel.
It's not just the produce that's beautiful here. The store has been designed by Callum Lumsden (whose other work includes Harry Potter World and Warner Bros Studio Tours) and is a GORGEOUS space complete with a secret garden with wishing well, hanging plants, flowers and fruits.
Now. At Love London, we're always very keen to take one for the team and try out venues on your behalf, reporting back with an honest review that enables you to decide whether to visit or not. I suspect this is going to be particularly hard work, but we're willing to trek all the way to Soho to try out Cutter and Squidge VERY SOON. Hard work, but someone's got to do it. WE CAN'T BLINKING WAIT!!
Bring on the Biskies.
