The Final Exam Schedule for each semester is posted at the beginning of Week 8 of the semester.
Once it is available, the Fall 2018 Final Exam Schedule will be posted on the Course Schedule and on the Student Detail Schedule in ESTHER. All undergraduate courses are assigned final exam times, even if a final exam is not scheduled by the instructor.
While we understand that students, faculty, and families would like the Final Exam Schedule posted early in the semester, we are unable to post it sooner than we currently do. Because the Final Exam Schedule is largely based on student registrations in courses, it is not possible to post a Final Exam Schedule prior to drop deadline for a semester since a large number of registrations change during the week of the drop deadline.Â
Final exam period:Â Wednesday, December 5 -Â Wednesday, December 12, 2018.
Students should keep in mind that the semester begins with the first day of class, and ends with the last day of the final exam period. For that reason, and because final exams may be scheduled up to and through the last day of the final exam schedule, undergraduate students are encouraged to make their travel plans on dates after the last day of the posted final exam period. Additionally, with take-home final exams, instructors have the option and may choose to make those due on the last day of finals. As stated in the General Announcements:
"The due date of take-home exams may be no earlier than the end of the examination time assigned to that class by the Office of the Registrar. Instructors may specify due dates later than this time, but not later than the end of the last day of the examination period."
To view final exam information on the course schedule:
You may also view the final exam information in the section detail by clicking on the CRN.
For the courses that you are registered for, the final exam date, time, and location will appear in ESTHER once it is available. To view this in ESTHER:
FALL 2018 FINAL GRADE DEADLINE:Â Wednesday, December 19, 2018
Instructors must submit Final Grades online via ESTHER.Â
As stated in the Final Examinations section of the General Announcements, "The decision to give a final exam as a required part of the course rests with the instructor. All tests and examinations are conducted under the honor system. No examinations or other course assignments may be due between the last day of classes and the first day of the final examination period. Examinations are considered final examinations when they:
Such exams may be given only during the final examination period. All undergraduate level classes will be assigned a final examination time by the Office of the Registrar. Instructors may choose to use that time for a scheduled final. If they choose this option, the Registrar will assign a room, and the final exam will be administered in that room at the designated time. Instructors may choose instead to give a take-home exam or no exam at all. Some instructors assign end-of-term projects or papers rather than final examinations. With regard to due dates, final papers or projects will be treated the same as take-home exams."
Consequently, the Office of the Registrar schedules a final exam period for all undergraduate-level courses, regardless of whether the course has a scheduled final exam, a take-home final exam, or no final exam. Instructors can decide how they want to use their scheduled final exam period.
Students should be able to determine whether a course has a scheduled final exam, a take-home final exam, or no final exam by consulting their course syllabus or their instructor(s).
In accordance with the General Announcements,
"...students cannot be required to take more than two scheduled exams in two consecutive calendar days. Students also cannot be required to complete more than two take-home and/or scheduled final exams on the same calendar day (unless this is the last day of the examination period). In both instances, if the student wishes to make alternative arrangements and is unable to work out such arrangements with the instructor(s) involved, the instructor of the third and any subsequent exams will be required to allow the student to reschedule that exam."
As noted, if a student wants to reschedule a final exam due to conflict, the student should contact the instructor(s) involved to make arrangements for taking the final exam at an alternate time. If the instructor(s) involved in the conflict are unwilling to offer an alternate time, the instructor of the third and any subsequent final exams are required to allow the student to reschedule that final exam.
Due to the large number (1000+) of courses to be scheduled in only eight exam days, the Office of the Registrar can not consider the above stated conflict rules when building the final exam schedule.
The Final Exam Scheduling Methodology is available here.
Since the Office of the Registrar constructed the final exam schedule with the goal of minimizing exam conflicts, it is virtually impossible to honor a request for a change to an assigned exam time slot. A single change to the exam schedule may introduce a myriad of new conflicts, so each change request must be analyzed to assure that no direct conflicts would result. Even a request to reschedule a final exam to a later time slot may not be granted because such a delay may affect student travel plans. Consequently, we are cautious about modifying the final exam schedule. Nevertheless, if you would like us to consider a special request, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Classroom assignments for final exams are posted on the Office of the Registrar website two (2) weeks prior to the start of final exams. Classroom assignments are made from the requests indicated on each department's Course Offering Schedule Review. For final exams added to the schedule after completion of the schedule review, or for any changes to classroom use plans, please contact email@example.com.
The Office of the Registrar may be unable to assign a classroom for a request received less than two weeks prior to the start of the exam period.
If you have any questions about the final exam schedule or classroom assignments, please contact email@example.com.

They Will Be Done - Poem by John Hay
Not in dumb resignation
We lift our hands on high,
Not like the nerveless fatalist,
Content to trust and die.
Our faith springs like the eagle
Who soars to meet the sun,
And cries exulting unto Thee,
O Lord, Thy Will be done!
When tyrant feet are trampling
Upon the common weal,
Thou dost not bid us bend and writhe
Beneath the iron heel.
In Thy name we assert our right
By sword or tongue or pen,
And even the headsman's axe may flash
Thy message unto men.
Thy Will! It bids the weak be strong,
It bids the strong be just;
No lip to fawn, no hand to beg,
No brow to seek the dust.
Wherever man oppresses man
Beneath Thy liberal sun,
O Lord, be there Thine arm made bare,
Thy righteous will be done.

This video explains in detail how to easily play Mario Kart Wii online again without having to mod your Wii console. This is completely legal since you need a copy of the game in the console's disc drive for it to work.
I've tested this and can confirm that it works. If you get an Error Code 60000 it simply means that you played Mario Kart Wii on the official server and your profile ID didn't transfer to the Wiimmfi server. In that case just go ahead and create a new license.

Sheffield Wednesday picked up their first Championship point of the season at Hillsborough - but it came at a price.
The Owls lost captain Glenn Loovens and midfielder Sam Hutchinson inside the opening 24 minutes, as they fell behind to a Jamie Mackie first-half strike.
Pre-match, the absence of striker Fernando Forestieri - reportedly involved in a training round bust-up - dominated talk inside Hillsborough.
The Owls - who saw Hutchinson limp off injured after 12 minutes - had two early chances in the opening 20 minutes.
First, Daniel Pudil headed over at the far post, then an unmarked Jordan Rhodes headed straight at Alex Smithies in the Rangers goal.
Mackie fired QPR in front, after some sloppy play from the hosts, and Wednesday's troubles mounted as captain Loovens was forced off injured after 24 minutes.
Striker Sam Winnall came on, as the Owls rejigged their formation, and the former Barnsley player should have equalised but fired wide after good work from Adam Reach.
The Owls were level straight after half-time, as Winnall stroked the ball home after a left-wing cross evaded the Rangers defence.
Barry Bannan's free-kick was deflected over, while QPR substitute Kazenga LuaLua spurned a glorious chance one-on-one with Westwood.
But despite an imporved second half display, the Owls were unable to scramble a winner and must now wait on the fitness of Hutchinson and Loovens.
Talking point?
Sheffield Wednesday have needed a centre-half for the last 18 months and Saturday highlighted that gaping hole in their expensive squad.
The injury to Glenn Loovens in the first half, meant the Owls had just one fit centre-half, in Tom Lees, on their books.
It forced left-back Daniel Pudil to stand-in as cover, and left the Owls short at the back.
Several transfer windows have gone and Wednesday have failed to sign a centre-half.
That needs to be remedied before the end of August if Wednesday are to challenge for honours this season.

FIFA World Cup 2018: 11 players who missed the ticket to Russia
Though the fans at the 2018 World Cup in Russia will witness plenty of world class football talents, there are also a handful of them who will be missed at the championship due to one reason or the other.
2018 was supposed to be Leroy Sane's year. After helping his club side Manchester City lift the Premier League trophy and winning the PFA Young Player of the Year award in England, the explosive 22-year-old winger was touted to play a key role in Germany's quest for a record-equalling fifth title at the upcoming World Cup.
Joachim Low has been effusive in his praise of Leroy Sane, but has cut the Man City winger from his World Cup squad! pic.twitter.com/UFkmL7zUvF
— Goal (@goal) June 4, 2018
However, that is not to be the case. Sane won't even travel with Die Mannschaft to Russia after being axed by Germany manager Joachin Low. Though the most surprising of emissions, Sane isn't by any means the only casualty and is in some stellar company when it comes to players who were snubbed by their national teams for the upcoming tournament.
Injuries, lack of form, and incompatibility with coach's style — the reasons are many, but we try to make a starting 11 with some of the best players who won't be in action in Russia at the 2018 World Cup.
Sergio Romero (Goalkeeper) – Argentina – Age: 31 – Club: Manchester United – International caps: 94

— Roy Nemer (@RoyNemer) June 2, 2018
The Manchester United second-choice goalkeeper was in line to guard the goals for Argentina at the World Cup and was even named in their 23-member roster on May 22. However, misfortune came in the form of an injury the very next day with Argentina's official website announcing that Romero will be removed from the 23-member list as he "suffered a joint blockage in his right knee which requires surgery." Though having only made 10 appearances for his Premier League club across all competitions, Romero was a consistent performer for La Albiceleste having been their man under the bar for both the 2010 and 2014 World Cup.
Dani Alves (Defender) – Brazil – Age: 35 – Club: Paris Saint-Germain – International caps: 106
The right-back has been an integral part of the Selecaos since 2006 and was expected to make his third appearance at a World Cup finals this month after helping them through an impressive qualifying campaign. However, it was a knee injury that became the villain to disturb his tale. Alves took the blow to his knee during PSG's domestic cup final in May and required a surgery that ruled him out of the world championship. Manchester City's Danilo is expected to fill in for the fullback.
Marcos Alonso (Defender) – Spain – Age: 27 – Club: Chelsea FC – International caps: 1
Left wing-back Alonso is a vital cog in manager Antonio Conte's 3-4-3 at the London Club and has impressed one and all with his defending as well as productivity going up front. He is a goalscoring threat both from open play and from set pieces. He has scored the most goals for a defender in the English league over the last two seasons and made his international debut in March. But in the end, it wasn't enough as Spain coach Julen Lopetegui decided not to pick him for his star-studded lineup.
Laurent Koscielny (Defender) – France – Age: 32 – Club: Arsenal FC – International caps: 51
Je tenais à vous remercier pour les nombreux messages reçus depuis ma blessure. L'opération s'est bien passée, c'est une nouvelle étape qui commence pour moi... je suis déterminé à me battre, pas seulement pour moi mais aussi pour ma famille, mes amis et tous les gens qui me soutiennent... À très vite lolo I would like to thank you for all the messages received further to my injury. The operation went well, it's a new step that begins for me ... I'm determined to fight not only for myself but also for my family, my friends and all the people who support me ... See you soon lolo
Yet another player to miss out due to injury after being carried off in tears during Arsenal's Europa League semifinal second leg against Atletico Madrid, Koscielny would have been the defensive rock of an exciting French national team who are a strong favourite at the 2018 World Cup. France coach Didier Deschamps summed it up when he said "it's a very big blow" to have him sit out of the tournament. The Arsenal centre-back had intended to retire from international football after the tournament.
David Luiz (Defender) – Brazil – Age: 31 – Club: Chelsea FC – International caps: 56
by David Luiz! #worldcup #bbcworldcup pic.twitter.com/NPDHsInRXj
— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) May 31, 2018
The curly-haired Brazilian centre-back has silenced his critiques, who called him a PlayStation footballer early in his career, over the last few seasons. He helped Chelsea win the Premier League in Conte's first season in charge and had a good start to the new season. However, a fallout with the Chelsea coach and an ill-timed injury has kept Luiz out of action for most of the second half of the season and in turn denied him a return to the Brazilian national team.

Today's Weekend Markets and Money is going to deliver you the Inspiration. But the Inspiration is not what you're thinking. Prepared to guess?
Well, it's actually the name of a truck that Freightliner Trucks, a division of Daimler, released this week. But this isn't your average road train.
It's the first semi-truck capable of fully autonomous highway driving that's been given the official go ahead to operate on public highways in Nevada, according to IEEE Spectrum.
The truck can drive itself on good highways, in daylight, with fair weather. By law it needs a human in the cab to oversee what's happening. But in reality the driver doesn't need to be paying attention.
The truck can follow GPS directions, stay within the correct lane, and slow, stop or speed up depending on traffic.
Or, as the article puts it: 'It's probably not a good idea for the driver to be asleep in the back, but he or she can be doing other work, reading, watching a movie, or playing Angry Birds.'
Tough job! To be fair, trickier variables and road conditions means it needs human control. But the point is this truck is licensed to operate. It's happening now. Imagine a truck driving behind you with no driver.
It would look like this…
Nevada is the first US state, but it won't be long before trucks like this are operating all over the United States, and eventually, the world.
Think of the benefits. Just off the top of my head: drivers can work on other projects while in commute. Productivity will rise as delivery chains become more efficient.
Most accidents are from human error. Remove the human factor and you'll have lower insurance premiums and damage costs. There'll be less resources required for traffic cops, smash repairs and the traffic jams truck accidents cause.
The technology behind this will drive profits in various associated industries for some time. There are two ways to profit from this.
The obvious one that springs to mind is to find the stocks that will increase earnings from this, either directly or indirectly.
This is where a subscription to Cycles, Trends and Forecasts puts you ahead of most investors. Because the second is only obvious if you understand British economist David Ricardo's Theory of Rent. It's to buy real estate.
Why? Over time, the 'super' profits of the inventors reduces as competition eliminates them. Wages will see a small rise as such inventions and improvements increase the size of the economic pie.
So what takes the biggest gain? Land value. Classical economist called the return to land 'economic rent'. It is the Rent that just keeps on increasing, relentlessly. That's why we're all slaving away to afford a house.
Adam Smith, when he wrote the Wealth of Nations expressed the idea in this way:
'…every improvement in the circumstances of society tends either directly or indirectly to raise the real rent of land, to increase the real rent of the landlord, his power of purchasing over the labour, or the produce of the labour of other people.'
At Cycles, Trends & Forecasts we just say that land price takes all the gains…eventually.
We can see this operating elsewhere. Just this week there was news that employees earning six figure wages in Silicon Valley are being priced out of the real estate market.
Now that's funny. You'd think that those guys earning megabucks in Silicon Valley could buy up all the housing they wanted. But no.
Just ask Brandon Jones, a Google employee CBS interviewed.
'By most standards, Jones and his family have it all. He's a software engineer at the Mountain View tech company, lives 10 minutes from work and makes six figures.
'The problem is, he has to move, and being a Google employee doesn't guarantee a place to stay in Mountain View.
'"It is a long-running joke at Google that none of the employees can afford to live nearby the office, because things are so astronomically high," Jones said.'
Land price is taking all the gains, see. Few people understand this.
Here's why. Mason Gaffney, a retired economics professor from Riverside, California, wrote it up in a superb book, The Corruption of Economics.
It details clearly how this knowledge of Ricardo's Theory of Rent was deliberately written out of the university economics courses and text books.
Understanding why this was done gives you a great insight into 'the system'. Once you understand it, you can take advantage of it. If you want that insight, read more here.

We all get stuck behind a thought (that we create!) and then proceed to gather evidence to justify the thought or belief. We create experiences which we then interpret as supporting our interpretations.
A whirlwind of insanity that is consistently repeated... and then again! So we can say... see, I told you so!, I told you I was right (eous). We need to do this in order to support our sense of reality to maintain our reality.
Psychotherapy, in my mind anyway, is not, nor should it be, about fixing a problem, or colluding with another person's belief or thought structure. It is a complex process of helping you clarify your understanding of your experience, exploring that understanding, reflecting that understanding, expanding that understanding and then altering the perception to help provide a sense of inclusion and connection; to experience your understanding through another's eyes without judgment or assumptions.
When I'm asked what modality do I use in psychotherapy, I typically answer, "client-centred"... I want to fully understand what it's like to be inside your perception. (If there's any person who's training and philosophy I follow more than other's, it's Irvin Yalom. http://www.yalom.com/ ). I want to help you understand that it is not what the world does to us... it is what we do to the world! It is to recognise the choices we make and to understand why we make those particular choices. What causes us to interpret the experiences we have the way we do?
In order to accomplish changing the world, I can only do that one mind at a time. And it's not that I'm trying to "change" your mind! It's allowing you to consider other possibilities, Possibilities that may create an expanded perspective. I need to be constantly reminding myself to be vigilant around my own process... to continue to be questioning with humility and without judgment or assumptions (yah, like that's easy to do!). (We cannot do this on our own for reasons which I hope are self-apparent.)
I speak to groups of people and individuals, but I know the reality is that I can only work with my mind and then help you work with yours. We can and are changing the world... one mind at a time.
Until later

Indicators on tag carrera You Should KnowGreat Christmas Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 watch prices
Immediately after viewing merchandise depth webpages, glimpse in this article to seek out a simple approach to navigate again to web pages you are interested in.

Listed below are ten things you need to know about TAG Heuer, such as the brand names deep connections with sports timing and car racing, and even more lately, a number of groundbreaking developments in the field of ultra-speedy mechanical chronographs. Read the write-up
So far as I can explain to from the photographs and the video clip evaluation, the match and finish in the watch is demonstratively a lot better than what I anticipated from the Tag.
By "significant time" you necessarily mean enough time it will take Georgie to fetch a spray paint bottle from the nearest hardware retail store.
Enable's reach the issues. The Corvette's gearing, as often, is just too tall—in hopes that its limitless torque will help save the working day. But it surely would make the 911 sense more rapidly from the midrange, where by the Carrera's turbocharged motor is presently at peak torque when the Corvette's continues to be climbing. The 911, In the meantime, has picked up some disappointing mid-corner understeer. On most cars, you wouldn't get in touch with this major, nevertheless it's discouraging.
Qualified Pre-Owned Price is definitely the approximate price a consumer can be expecting to pay for in a dealership for just a used car or truck that has handed the producer's certification approach.
I suppose the negative information is the fact that not less than A part of TAG Heuer's upcoming might be in the release of watches that classic admirers in the model won't be receptive to. Lots of TAG Heuer fans are actually Heuer supporters and eager on purchasing watches that remind them on the model's rich history of don't just items but additionally of involvement in actions for example motorsports.
If the tow bracket is loose, the bracket could detach from get redirected here the motor vehicle although remaining it really is becoming pushed, maybe turning out to be a road hazard. In case the bracket detaches all through a car or truck recovery, there may be a loss of control of the towed motor vehicle. Both circumstance increases the danger of the crash.

Sure, it'll still get it done, click to find out more but it surely methods the limit additional slowly and predictably, and it no longer snaps again another way when you accurate it. This is the best-driving Corvette but created.
I suppose – purely speculating – that "JCB" (the watch baron, not the corporation owned by younger Bumfart's dad) needed to co-choose the Bamford manufacturer to keep it shut, exploit the prospective of consumers without having style, and…properly…I can't visualize some other reason. Hopefully they'll obtain out younger Bumfart's shares and finally just Permit the manufacturer DIE.
I get it, but it surely doesn't really feel as satisfying since it must, On the other hand, The end result go to my blog is a formidable and extremely wearable notion that gives much of what people today like about skeletonized versions in the Hublot Major Bang at a portion of your price. For that reason, I believe the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 01 will promote pretty perfectly.

Glazed seitan with smoky onionswhere's the beef? Vegetarians in Melbourne
April 15-16, 2018
After a gloriously sunny autumn, Melbourne finally turned on some cold weather on the weekend and gave us a good excuse to cook up some wintery comfort food. We dug out Street Vegan and tweaked one of their sandwich recipes into something we could serve with veggie box salad. There are a heap of interesting takes on tempeh and seitan in the book, but it was this bourban-glazed seitan that caught my eye.
It's a fairly involved recipe - you've got to make seitan first (we used our new favourite recipe), marinate it and then slow-cook the onions and fry up the seitan. I was a bit over it by the end, but it was just about worth the effort - the glazed seitan in particular is outstanding, with a sweet and smoky richness that's pretty hard to top. The onions were good, but maybe not good enough to justify the effort involved - a long, low fry-up with a splash of liquid smoke would probably work almost as well.
The original recipe has a complicated aioli as well, but we just stirred some lime juice and chipotle pepper into some mayo and dressed our salad in it.
Glazed seitan with smoky onions
(slightly adapted from a recipe in Adam Sobel's Street Vegan)
glazed seitan
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small brown onion, sliced finely
- 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons lemon thyme leaves
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 200ml bourbon
- 1/4 cup white miso
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/3 cup Lapsang souchong tea leaves
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup tamari
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 onions, halved

These are all words that have been a major part of our lives the last 6 years. We have had a long journey to becoming parents. We feel we have grown as individuals and as a couple due to the trial. We set out just about 6 years ago to start our family. Things didn't go like we had hoped. For some reason I just couldn't bring myself to talk about it on the blog, but anyone who knows me knows I talked about it and shared my emotions about it.
For some reason I knew deep down I would have a difficult time becoming a mom since I was young. However knowing that did not make it any easier. There were countless times I felt so much guilt and put blame on myself for not being able to give Brian a child. It is hard to not get so down and depressed about failed treatments.
We started filling out adoption a couple times. We just couldn't seem to finish. We had done everything except IVF. Well we decided that if we did IVF and it did not work we would adopt and have no regrets. Well IVF worked. We got pregnant in August 2010 with twins.
Now that I was pregnant a whole new stress was added. I was so afraid that something would go wrong. I would imagine any woman who is pregnant is concerned that something can go wrong. So I made sure that I was doing everything I possibly could to take care of myself and the two babies growing inside me.
Since I was pregnant with twins we had ultra sounds every appointment. That was comforting to see them so much.They were doing so well for most of my pregnancy. At around 28 weeks my Dr sent me weekly to get a stress test. I have the best Dr. She really had her eyes on me and was sensing a problem around 33 weeks. I had quite a few symptoms of preeclampsia. So I was sent to the hospital to get the steroid shot to help the lungs develop quicker. That was on Monday the 21st of march. I had to get the shot again on Tuesday. I also received a stress test along with blood work. I was back to my Dr on Thursday. Thursday night was horrible I could not find a comfortable position. I remember crying for part of the night. Well Friday morning we had another stress test. When I got there I casually told the nurse that I was done. The nurse was triggered to start asking me questions. It turned out I was going to have my babies that day. My blood work was bad my urine had protein in it, mixed with major swelling and a head ache. She called my Dr and I was given the choice to deliver or wait 6 hours and run the test again and see if it got better. I had originally wanted to wait. They moved us and I asked my nurse if she was my mom what would she recommend I do. Well we decided to have the babies to keep them and myself safe. So we called my mom and got on the schedule for that afternoon. I had hoped from the beginning of my pregnancy to be able to deliver naturally. Well that was not on the plan. So at 2:01 Addison Allayne was born
Then at 2:02 Mckenzie Meridith was born.
Unfortunately I was not able to see or hold them for 13 hours. Brian was able to go see them in the nursery. We are so lucky they were so healthy. Addison weighed 4lbs 12 oz. Mckenzie weighed 4lbs 5oz. They were breathing great on their own and did not need a feeding tube. They just needed to get efficient at eating to come home. They stayed in the nursery for a week total and we brought them home.
Ok one more pic
We love our sweet girls. Sorry this post is so wordy and long. I hope it makes sense.

My guilty secret
3 comments:
I sew over pins ALL THE TIME! During my first year of sewing, I was terrified out of it by my friend's mother, who taught me to sew and also taught me that a needle could hit a pin, break, then fly up and puncture my eye. That was enough to keep me from doing it for awhile, but over time I started sewing over pins and have yet to experience eye trauma. It's just so helpful for keeping fabric in place!ReplyDelete
I will say that, this habit makes serging an adventure for me. I try to remove all the pins, as I sew, but invariably I zone out and miss one. Unlike a sewing machine, the pins will break in half and fly around with a serger.
- Anonymous21 February 2014 at 09:11
My sewing instructor at my community centre sewing class also sews over pins. It makes me cringe! I never do it, and immediately take them out while sewing after she leaves my machine, LOLReplyDelete
I try not too, I've done it before and broken the needle, which is a pain in the b to change when you just want to sew!ReplyDelete

Wealth Bulletin
July 1 2008 - By Jason Corcoran
Ukrainian investment firm Concorde Asset Management is aiming to attract $120m to a new fund investing only in companies controlled by oligarchs who wield significant influence on local business and politics.
The Olihagarch or "Oliharkh" fund, will buy shares of large financial and industrial groups owned by wealthy Ukrainian businessmen who have growing influence in the country's political sphere.
The fund will track the market value of publicly traded assets falling within the scope of Ukrainian financial-industrial groups, which are owned by a few of the country's seriously rich.
The idea could be a winner. In the late 1990s, Russian oligarch companies significantly outperformed the indices. However, following the election of Vladimir Putin as president in 2000 this trend ended when many oligarchs fled the country and were jailed.
Ukraine's oligarchs are in a better position than their Russian forebears: while Russia's oligarchs were close to government, many of their Ukrainian counterparts are actually in government.
Local billionaire Rinat Akhmetov was in 127th place in the Forbes ranking of the richest people on the planet. And according to the ratings of the Polish magazine Wprost, three Ukrainian billionaires are among the 20 richest people in Eastern Europe.
Concorde is a subsidiary of Concorde Capital, one of the two leading domestic brokers operating in Ukraine.

Sandra Bullock is compelling as a novice astronaut under pressure in this visually staggering epic
Film Title: Gravity
Director: Alfonso Cuaron
Starring: Sandra Bullock, George Clooney
Genre: Thriller
Running Time: 90 min
Despite what you may have heard or concluded, Alfonso Cuarón's indecently exciting palm-dampener is not, in any sense that matters, a sci-fi picture. No speculation takes place about future technologies. The lizard-people of Zongo remain in their lairs. Dystopian speculation is kept at bay.
What we have here is an exemplary shipwreck adventure. Cast adrift beyond the ionosphere, our protagonist is forced to shuffle between lumps of floating debris on her way towards (she hopes) the only usable life raft in near space. One can easily imagine Robert Louis Stevenson or H Rider Haggard getting a kick out of Gravity. It has the sort of dramatic propulsion those writers savoured.
This is not to pretend that the meticulous, unnerving realisations of the orbital experience do not constitute a great part of the film's appeal. Cuarón begins as he means to continue: with a bravura 13-minute opening shot (taking up about a seventh the film's duration) that brings us past a space shuttle to encounter astronauts repairing the Hubble Space Telescope.
The sequence serves to establish the story with great efficiency. George Clooney is grizzled veteran Matt Kowalski. Sandra Bullock is Dr Ryan Stone, an experienced medic making her first trip to space. Meanwhile, their colleague remains in his craft contemplating the fate of red-shirted Enterprise crew members.
Sure enough, debris from a Russian satellite strikes, damages the shuttle and casts the spacewalkers adrift. It is surely giving nothing away to say that Ryan is soon on her own.
Aside from accelerating the narrative, that opening shot does a great job of undermining any lingering instinct that standard orientation means anything in space. Cuarón and Emmanuel Lubezki, his brilliant cinematographer, reshot the entire sequence when they realised they had lazily assumed the shuttle should enter the right-way up. In the released version, the ship is (so far as our screen is concerned) inverted and that spatial anarchy continues throughout this concise, efficient picture.
Despite such efforts, there have already been suggestions that the film's grasp of science is insecure. This satellite wouldn't pass so near to this space station. The astronauts wouldn't drift in that trajectory. And so on. This is so much baloney. The film-makers pay sufficient attention to the physics to secure verisimilitude while allowing themselves enough licence to create a workable story.
The film's few nagging problems are a tad more pedestrian. Desperate to create character in (literally) a void, the script allows Bullock too many sentimental monologues concerning the miseries that turned her into a pathological loner. Clooney's character is really just a blank variation on the whacky charmers – those James Coburn types – who chewed cigars in second World War capers from the 1960s.
Happily, Bullock has enough charisma and experience to muscle the ropey dialogue (of which there is more than you might think) into exhausted submission. The fact that Dr Stone is a little older than the average astronaut increases the character's vulnerability and adds poignancy to her lonely plight.
Besides which, some practical catastrophe is always on hand to distract attention from the script's inadequacies. From the beginning we are asking two questions. How can Ryan possibly survive for the next five minutes? How can Cuarón make a film from such an uncompromising scenario? Those tensions run hand-in-hand to a breathless conclusion.
Gravity is a technical marvel. The 3D is sufficiently energetic to justify any lingering surcharges at your local cinema. The Imax version fairly plasters you to the back of your seat. For all that, it succeeds on admirably old-fashioned values – gritty humanity overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds – that have powered gripping yarns since the time of Homer. It just about satisfies the rampaging hype.

Is There Inequality in the Workplace Because of a Lack of Understanding About Culture?
June 12 2012 - In my experience, there is often a lot of confusion and massive assumptions about what culture means. Some organisations talk about working towards being one culture, because they want to achieve consistency in customer care, leadership and management styles, and ensure all employees demonstrate behaviours, which are professional, considered, and do not wittingly or unwittingly discriminate. In other words, they want to ensure that they comply with the equality legislation and their duty of care to promote good relations between all groups, prevent all forms of unlawful discrimination and provide equal opportunities. This does indeed require a shared understanding of what culture means. The term culture refers to the system of assumptions, beliefs and perspectives, many of them unconscious and taken for granted, which members of a group have in common. There can often be an overlap with religion; more so, should one religion be predominant in that area/country. This can sometimes lead to confusion, where people claim that they are following some belief, because it is part of their religion, whereas it is in fact something which has grown up traditionally from their culture, and may not be practised by people of the same religion and beliefs but who have a different culture. Most, if not all cultures are in a state of change and development, and are affected and influenced by other cultures. For example, there are statements which are culturally conditioned and which individuals / groups believe to be true, such as: 1. You should always be on time
2. If someone upsets you, tell them
3. Women should not wear make-up
4. You should always refuse an offer the first time
5. You should choose your own partner
6. Polite men will allow women to walk through doorways first 7. Individuals have the right to make...

Meeting highest market demands
Esteves Group is successfully meeting the requirements of the most demanding wire manufacturing industries.
One of the most, if not the most demanding industry is the bonding wire industry, manufacturing gold or copper bonding wires with sizes as small as 0.010 mm, along with extremely narrow tolerances of 0.2 or even 0.1 micron. The bonding wire industry is supplied by Esteves Group, manufacturing diamond drawing dies that meet this industry's very narrow size and profile dimension tolerances, along with meeting the necessary very high surface polish level requirements.
Another technically demanding and fast growing industry is the sawing wire industry, producing sawing wire for the exponentially growing solar panel industry. For this application Esteves Group is a leading supplier, every day meeting customer requirements for manufacturing ultra-precision diamond drawing dies that typically need very tight overall dimension and profile control.
Esteves Group has developed proprietary equipment and manufacturing methods to meet the requirements of the most demanding wire industries and will continue to invest in their valuable customers, partnering together to improve and develop new products.
Esteves group is certified to ISO 9001:2008, ensuring to meet customer needs through the use of quality management systems.
Last month Esteves Group presented an updated website, which was created after Carsten van der Putten was assigned Webmaster for Esteves Group's global on-line presence. The website features their main products and services, and is available in five languages.
The improved website includes more information about the Drawing Die Wizard™ and an online version of the eWizard™ handbook, as well as an improved customer area section. After sign-in, visitors will notice that the download section has been redesigned and downloads are easier to find. Also new is that visitors with an EstevesGroup.com on-line account can update their company and personal contact information.
Currently engineers are working on expanding and improving Esteves Group's online-presence. According to 'van der Putten', engineers have already begun working on the next part of the roadmap. "There's a lot more to come," he said. "This is only the beginning. The website will gradually become easier to navigate and will display more information about Esteves Group's products and services."
Mr. van der Putten has been employed by Diamond Tools Group for over 12 years, and was named Product Manager for Esteves Group's global drawing dies product range last year. "Making him Webmaster for our website is a natural follow-up of his commitment to help set out the path for our company's future growth."

End Shackling in Indonesia
In 2016, Human Rights Watch exposed the shackling of 18,000 people with psychosocial disabilities in Indonesia. Since then the government took promising steps to rescue people from chains while raising awareness and providing services. However, today, more than 12,800 people are still shackled—to beds, cement blocks, or in animal pens. Help end shackling once and for all by calling on the Indonesian government to monitor and end the practice of shackling inside institutions.

Good Cruise but leave your kids at HOME
5 Night Western Caribbean (New Orleans Roundtrip)
Sail Date: March 21, 2015
Ship: Carnival Elation
Cabin Type: Oceanview
Cabin Number: R104
Traveled As: Couple
Reviewed: 3 years ago
Review Summary
All in all a good cruise with great entertainment (comedians were VERY funny) and too much food. The ports were O.K. with the exception of Progresso. Progresso was very dirty and you really didn't feel safe to roam the city.
For the bad: If you can't control your children DON'T take them on a cruise! Kids are great, their parents were the problem, letting them run wild and act like fools with no parental control. Remember there are things that you DON'T want your kids to see on a cruise during spring break. Think first!
Food was good just needed to be HOT when served. Best way to get hot food was to order it at the stations (breakfast = omelet + Lunch = pizza ect)

As we move towards the end of the normal season, we start to think about who will take home the prestigious Brownlow Medal. There have been many amazing team performances throughout the year so far, but this particular honour is reserved for individual brilliance: the players that give the fans hard-working, and often spectacular, performances from week to week.
The contest this year has recently started to turn into a two-horse race between Dustin Martin and Patrick Dangerfield; the latest AFL odds of 2.00 for Dangerfield and 2.10 for Martin suggest that one of these players will be the one to claim the coveted award.
Dangerfield has been fantastic for the Cats this year and an instrumental part of their attacking brand of football. So far this season, he has kicked 33 goals for Geelong and taken 75 marks. He has the most disposals for the club, with 519, and is leading the tackle count, with 99. In only his second year at the club after making the swap from the Crows in 2016, he has settled in beautifully and is playing some of the best footy of his career. The energetic midfielder rightfully claimed the award last year, winning with a record-breaking 35 votes, and many people are predicting he could make it two in a row.
Source: Dustin Martin via Facebook
Meanwhile, Tigers midfielder Martin has been excellent this year and a major part of Coach Damien Hardwick's brand of footy. The Tigers are starting to look like real title contenders this year and currently sit fourth on the ladder. The 2016 All-Australian's contribution to the team has been outstanding and his level of consistency has been remarkable, kicking 23 goals and taking 73 marks. He has the most disposals for the club, with 508, and has made a very impressive 67 tackles. Martin was awarded the Jack Dyer Medal at the end of last season as Richmond's best and fairest player. He was also the club's highest-placed player in the mix for the Brownlow Medal and third overall.
The dark house of the race is Hawthorn's Tom Mitchell. His first season playing for the Hawks has been fantastic; the young midfielder has kicked nine majors so far this season and leads the way for disposals, with a staggering 615. He also has the most marks for the club, with 99, and leads the tackle count, with a commanding 114. It's easy to see why Mitchell has become a fan favourite with those sort of figures.
Zach Merret from the Bombers is another who is playing some extremely good football. The other 'roughies' to watch out for are Josh Kelly from the GWS Giants and Rory Sloane from the Adelaide Crows. Both have had exceptional seasons and will surely be in the mix come the end of the year.

Mumbai: Following the incident of Italian
marines onboard an oil tanker shooting dead two local
fishermen off Kerala coast, the Directorate General of
Shipping here has issued a notice, saying that merchant
vessels should report the presence of armed guards to the Navy
or the Coast Guard.
"All merchant ships are advised to report the presence of
armed guards on board to Indian Navy or Indian Coast Guard,"
says the notice, signed by Captain Harish Khatri, Deputy
Director General of Shipping, and issued on March 7.
It also advises vessels to exercise extreme caution when
approaching within 50 nautical miles of Indian coast.
The merchant vessels should take note of dense fishing
traffic on the Indian coast, the possibility that they may be
approached by the boats for safeguarding fishing nets, and
should not mistake such fishing boats for pirate skiffs (as
happened in the Kerala incident), the notice says.
The merchant vessels are also expected to report any
suspicious craft within Indian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)
to the Coast guard.
According to the notice, over 3 lakh fishing boats
operate off the Indian coast. "Fishing off the coast of Kerala
and Karnataka is particularly intense during the post-South
West monsoon and extends up to 50 nautical miles from the
coast," it adds.

Although Cincinnati Coach Sam Wyche said tackle Anthony Munoz (shoulder) and guard Bruce Reimers (ankle) are doubtful and running back James Brooks (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's playoff game at the Coliseum, Raider Coach Art Shell doesn't buy the Bengal injury report.
"We spent all of our money during Christmas and we're not buying anything else," Shell quipped. "That bill of goods was sold to us on Boomer Esiason the first time we played them. He wasn't supposed to play at all. And he came out and played.
"They didn't say that (Munoz and Reimers) were out, they just said they may not play. We're going to prepare for the Cincinnati Bengals, and whoever shows up, we're going to be prepared to play them."
Is Wyche is using the injuries as a ploy?
"Sure," Shell said. "That's to keep you guys guessing. But it's not going to keep me guessing."
Add injury report: Raider cornerback Lionel Washington (hamstring) will probably play against Cincinnati.
In addition to Munoz, Reimers and Brooks, the Bengal list includes running back Harold Green (ankle), who is probable.
Shell does not expect to activate tailback Greg Bell, who missed most of the regular season with a sprained ankle.

New rules are now in place for the 2019 golf season
Now that the calendar says 2019, the new rules of golf are...
There is plenty to like about fall golf in the Pacific Northwest. The sun is still shining, the temperatures are good and the golf courses are all in terrific shape. At places like Sun Lakes in Central Washington, about 40 minutes north of Moses Lake.
The resort has everything for a solid getaway and the Vic Meyers Golf Course is a fun test. They also have a great putt-putt course. The resort has cabins for rent along the lake shore and hundreds of RV sites. And with fewer crowds and good rates, fall has always been a good time for travel and golf in the Northwest. How about the $10 golf and even free golf after Sept. 25 (see www.SunlakesParkResort.com details).
Once the Labor Day Weekend comes and goes, Sun Lakes Resort is not about to close the doors and wait for 2018. In September, the resort will host its fourth annual Decades of Distinction Car Show Sept. 23 with live music and more. There is also the 8th annual Bob Nutt Memorial Golf Tournament set for Sunday, Sept. 24 at Vic Meyers Golf Course.
In places like Central Oregon, fall golf has always been a popular attraction. Like other places, crowds are lighter, prices are lower and the weather is still good enough wear shorts and a golf shirt are all you need. Black Butte Ranch, Aspen Lakes and Crooked River Ranch are all places that treat fall golfers well.
Same goes for other places in Central Washington like Leavenworth, Bear Mountain Ranch and Gamble Sands. The courses are all in terrific shape and you can't beat the price.
There is no need to put away those clubs. Ask for a few extra vacation days and jump in the car or RV and see what fall golf has to offer in the Northwest.
Glendoveer: Portland area course features a 36-hole golf destination
There are several golf complexes around that have 36 holes of golf. But there are none that can trace their roots back to 1924. That is when Glendoveer Golf Course in Portland opened up 36 holes of golf – a new thing in the Pacific Northwest for golfers to try.
But golf is only part of what makes Glendoveer a popular attraction in the Portland area. The 36 holes draw thousands of golfers every year but there is also the double–deck driving range that is always full with its 34 stalls, the indoor tennis courts sit on the grounds, a jogging track circles much of the golf courses and the Ringside Restaurant is a popular option before or after a round of golf or set of tennis.
"There is always something for everyone," said General Manager Kevin Niessner.
The two golf courses might be on the same parcel of land, but they are different. The West course is shorter at just over 6,000 yards while the East Course plays to nearly 6,600 yards. The West Course starts with some short par-4s and then dives into some longer holes that are tree lined. Water comes into play on two of the holes on the West Course.
The East Course gets your attention early with two par-5 holes on the first four holes. The front nine layout is great with three par-3 holes, three par-4 holes and three par-5 holes. The back nine of the East Course is long and hilly, tipping out at 3,491 yards with a couple of par-5 holes in the 550-yard neighborhood.
What also sets Glendoveer apart is the conditioning. The course is doing work around the greens to get rid of the hardpan caused by years of carts driving next to the greens. Now carts must stay away from the greens and the area around the greens makes for easier chip shots.
Glendoveer is big into the camps for juniors and others. Golf and tennis camps are always popular, especially in the summer months. With two golf teaching pros and five tennis pros, there are plenty of chances for lessons and camps.
FootGolf is another option at Glendoveer with am 18-hole course set up for FootGolf on Saturday afternoons or for special events. The popular GolfBoards are also available for rent at the course. For more info, call 503.253.7507.

Hitler and Philosophy
Philosophy and Tyranny
The atrocious acceptance of the Nazi system by many respected German philosophers in the 1930s' and 40s' has given rise to endless commentaries. The best known essay may well be Hannah Arendt's New York Review of Books article on Martin Heidegger's 80th birthday. Arendt had engaged in a protracted amorous affair with Heidegger when she was his student but the main claim she makes in this essay is not confined to Heidegger: she claims that all philosophers have always shown a characteristic pathology that tempts them to submit to tyrannical authority. This echoes a point often made, ironically, by Friedrich Nietzsche - a favorite of the Nazi ideologues who may have misunderstood him. To be precise, Niertzsche leveled this charge at certain philosophers, Plato mainly, although the psychological profile of the "philosopher" in Nietzsche may also ground a broader claim. Arendt's claim, thus, echoes a Nietzschean claim. Nietzsche's status as a philosopher - as distinguished from an essayist, aphorist, even aphorist - is controversial. In the Anglo-American recent tradition, Richard Rorty and Alexander Nehamas are among very few trained students of philosophy who have studied Nietzsche's thought as a philosophic compendium. Nietzsche, in turn, could point back to Roman or Hellenistic antiquity to substantiate his claim about philosophers: Diogenes Laertius rehashes all kinds of tales, which may or may not be factually attested, about Socrates and Plato - and about many others besides in his Lives of Eminent Philosophers - and it is in this context that the slur "Dionysiocolax" is said to have been used to charge philosophers with being "flatterers of tyrants."
The slur has a straightforwardly obvious etymology: Dionysius was the tyrant of Syracuse, a Greek colony, whose invitation to set up a utopian political system Plato had accepted with alacrity. Thus, Plato is the flatterer of Dionysius and, broadly, philosophers are such. Clearly, the thinking that generalizes to all philosophers is fallacious; the sample is inadequate and hasty generalization is committed (there is also a fallacy of weak induction called "inadequate sample" but it is not surprising that more than one overlapping fallacies are committed in a piece of argumentation.) It is systematically vague at what point the sample becomes adequate for inductive generalization. Laertius, like Arendt much later, might have thought that the tendency of philosophers to jump to the occasion of serving strong leaders and dictators is all too obvious in example after example. Arendt's painful experience included a wide range of German philosophers who embraced Hitlerite ideology and collaborated with the regime toward removing non-Aryan, mainly Jewish, university colleagues most of whom tragically perished in the ensuing Holocaust.
An inductive generalization or extrapolation is not a good argumentative strategy in this case. The possibility arises that another fallacy - called "accident" - is perpetrated. It might be an inessential feature of the "philosopher" that such a person supports tyranny. The connection, if any, between what "philosophers" do and this apparent trend is not apparent. It may well be, as it was, that majorities sadly collaborate with tyrannies - do not resist and even work toward promoting the regime's ends. Philosophers may be like someone else in this respect. The question, of course, arises as to why philosophers, who know better, do what others, less alert to conceptual and moral subtleties, do. Still, the essential connection between this trend, if there is such a trend, and the vocation of philosophy is missing and there is a burden to produce it.
It is not accidental that the predecessor of Arendt's claim is Nietzsche. One of the teachings Nietzsche advanced is that it is precisely some characteristic pathology that acts when what is on the surface looks like some highfalutin activity - the activity of the "philosopher" or the "artist" or the "scientist" or the "religious teacher." The "digestion" dictates: one whose digestion is weak will surely identify himself with a philosophy that abhors rich nourishment - or strong pleasures for that matter. What seems to be driven by clinical, disinterested reasoning is actually doing the driving; the arguments are the instruments with which the underlying "will to power" hammers its dictates - because this will to power will rather will nothingness than will nothing at all; and this will is exercised even against one's self, causing phenomena like self-discipline and ascetic withdrawls, if it cannot be applied against others.
Nietzsche famously distinguished between two types of character which, between them, bisect, more or less, the whole human population: the Slave Morality and the Master Morality. Although Nietzsche did not count any racial group as presumptively falling under the Master type and he abhorred Anti-Semites, the Nazi ideological machinery, and Hitler himself astutely, borrowed this terminology. It is profoundly ironic that Arendt's reflections on typical pathologies echo a Nietzschean mode.
On its face, Nietzsche's approach is logically flawed. A common fallacy known as ad hominem (the variety called "circumstantial") seems to be at work here. This is a fallacy of (ir)relevance: at least one premise in an argument lacks a relevance-connection with the conclusion that is presumably established. Whether David Hume was a gluttonous overweight creepy-looking fellow (Rousseau thought so) is irrelevant to evaluating his arguments against religion. Even if it is true that the thinker is also drawn imperceptibly but irresistibly toward underlying instinctive urges, the work of philosophic analysis is to evaluate the logical structure of claims, to check theories for coherence and other features, and to assess arguments - not an easy matter. Let someone long after defending tyranny, for instance: this is irrelevant to how good or bad the theoretical defense is. If we end up with a successful defense of tyranny - not likely! - this would not be philosophy's problem, by the way. We may agree to suppress the theory, for a higher purpose, but this does not make the theory bad. And, incidentally, is our decision to suppress the theory for a higher good itself justified? Assessing such justifications, once again, IS a matter of philosophic claim. And so on - if we continue with assessing what is to be done if justification of suppression fails... On this view, philosophy is more like a diagnostic tool - not to be confused with the illness or with the misuses to which it may be subjected. If the diagnostician turns the instrument into a blunt weapon, he is not at that point acting AS a (or, in Latin, qua)) diagnostician. If the user of the diagnostic instrument is acting out, in the process of diagnosing, any kind of personal perversion - this is surely irrelevant to evaluating what the instrument itself is all about.
The word "philosopher" is used broadly sometimes. We ought to be clear about this. Nietzsche himself, by virtue of his good old-fashioned education, is not guilty of equivocating on this. He takes for "philosophers" those the tradition presented as such. Nietzsche has a separate category for other types he attacks - religious figures, for instance - and rightly so. Jesus, or Buddha for that matter, are not philosophers but Socrates is. This is because Socrates, based on what we are told about him, was engaged in the kind of analysis of claims and theories, which constitutes philosophical analysis. Socrates was notorious, for instance, for the skillful readiness with which he could construct a counterargument to a given view - showing that mutually contradictory propositions can be correctly inferred from the given theory: if a conjunction of statements (a theory) entails "absurdity" then it cannot be true (on the classical or standard logic.) So, the conjunction (the theory) must be false: this means that at least one of the conjuncts must be false (by a logical rule of inference usually called "DeMorgan's law.") The other party, however, may not be able to give up ANY one of the propositions that conjunctively constitute the theory. This is it! Defeat is declared. Whether Socrates is an idle malingerer of a frog-looking bufoon, followed by a horde of gaping and ambitious youths, is irrelevant to what just happened. If Plato was attracted to Socrates on account of the old Satyr's appearance, this makes no difference: Plato would be a fool to think that DeMorgan's law (he didn't call it so, of course) is a valid rule of inference because the handsome Socrates thought so!
And yet, we do experience a profound sense of distress when we find in history so many instances of the brightest minds that are drawn to provide cover for tyrannical systems and for the atrocities such systems perpetrate. Even more alarmingly, the philosophic theory itself may bear affinities with - and, so, can be used by - the ideology of the tyrannical system. This has been said of the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, who had been Arendt's amorous teacher in Freiburg.
Philosophic Thought and Political Ideology
Is Political Ideology, deep down, the same as Philosophic Analysis?
Philosophy and Tyranny
Why was Plato "attracted" to tyranny? If the text titled "Seventh Epistle" is authentic, Plato himself went over the story of his ill-fated trip to Syracuse on the avid expectation that the tyrant Dionysius would implement a utopian political system. This is the system advocated and defended in Plato's long dialogue, The Republic. In that dialogue, Plato's Socrates audibly despairs of meeting the preconditions for implementing the utopia, unless "philosophers become kings" or those now in power embrace the philosophic way. It is understood that the tyrant gives up his tyrannical ways in this process of conversion. (We are using the word "tyrant" and its derivatives negatively throughout, as the case is in English. In Plato's language, the word actually had positive connotations when referring to benevelont sages-rulers of the past but it had negative connotations when referring to rulers in certain others, more current, historical contexts.) Plato's utopia requires rather a ruler, or rather group of rulers, who are "benevolent" in the sense that they do not place their own interests above the common good but work for the common good instead. The system is paternalistic and Enlightenment Liberalism abhors that. All this means that Plato's affair is actually a bad example: when Dionysius did not actually give up his "tyrannical" ways, Plato quit and, legend has it, he was kidnapped by pirates on the voyage back to Athens - and had to be ransomed. Notice also that it is not relevant if Plato is lying about what happened, etc: it is the theory we are evaluating. If Plato had become corrupted by the entourage of power he found and ended up as a flatterer of the tyrant, he would NOT be implementing the theory! The hypocrite is, by definition, a bad case for evaluating what this same hypocrite professes. In my experience, this point is usually missed - there may be evolutionary reasons that precipitate us headlong into attacking something here without thinking carefully.
But, what if the theory itself blesses tyranny? Even if the Third Reich lacked legitimate philosophic support (ideology and rhetoric are not to be confused with philosophic analysis), it cannot be ruled out a priori that such support might have been forthcoming. Some think that Heidegger's philosophy actually fits the bill. Now, it would be emotionally satisfactory to think that any such philosophic theory has to be a bad theory. (Incidentally, we are placing our hopes, again, in philosophy to show this.) Nevertheless, we have no proof that this must be the case - that, of necessity, any "evil" theory would have to be a "bad" theory. Is this philosophy's fault? I cannot see why this is the case but many outraged authors - including some who have studied philosophy - take this view.
Would the alternative be to eschew philosophy as such? Of course, this would not make the problem go away: why are there good theories available (if they are) to support evil? This would be the problem - which we can push under the rug but without making it really disappear. Oddly, one teaching attributed to Socrates (echoing throughout many Platonic dialogues) denies that this can happen: Goodness and Knowledge are identical deep down, according to this view, which is, interestingly, known as the Socratic Paradox of Knowledge. It is presumed a paradox inssofar as empirical reality seems to refute it even if we cannot find flaws in the overall argument. A problem here is that we could be tempted to keep begging the question: any theory that supports evil must be a "bad" theory - it cannot be otherwise since all theories that are known to be "good" are also good morally. (No equivocation here - we have separate standards for assessing moral good and theoretical good as an attribute of theories.)
A related problem is that we are assuming that we have pre-theoretical notions about what is "evil." We reject and denounce "evil" systems and we then turn against the theories that support them. Of course, a good moral theory could not be supporting an evil system. Bingo! Maybe we can avoid circularity here; what makes any MORAL theory that support evil bad is that it fails AS a moral theory. There is a problem with this, however. When we denounce the evil the theory supports, we are not taking our bearings from this theory itself. Clearly, to be passable, this theory cannot be supporting what IT assesses as evil. Then, the theory would be both supporting the system, as we assume, but also it could not possibly support it if it assessed as "evil" under its own lights. In that case, we really dealing with a theory that is bad - AS theory. Nevertheless, as we saw, two different notions of "evil" are involved. We attack the theory because it fails under the light of a view of evil that is independent of this theory. I am not hinting that we should go relativistic -I am only pointing out how this is a difficult issue and it remains such under scrutiny.
What does it mean to entrust a pre-theoretic notion of good and evil? Perhaps no such notions are conceivable - perhaps nothing can be grasped by language unless it is already theoretically inflected in the broad sense of "theoretic." Often, it is said that the moral agent should rather trust his or her "heart" or sentiments like empathy or sympathy, love, and so on... It is not clear how this view is not itself a theoretical view - such views have been abundant. Alternatively, such a view could be originating in prescriptions that are not themselves open to scrutiny or the prospect of rejection: this is the Divine Command Theory. "Love thy meighbor as you love thyself" might be such a command. What makes this approach different is that it is systematically cut off from philosophy - on at least one view of what is happening in this case. This type of theory might have prevented Heidegger from committing evil but it would not have saved his son if a verifiable divine source had commanded him to sacrifice that son - as the case is reported to have been with Abraham and Isaac. To be sure, Isaac's sacrifice is not let go through but as Kierkagaard, another philosopher, argued extensively, and rather successfully I think, this is not relevant. And it was Plato who penned that short dialogue about piety in which the eponymous problem known as the "Euthyphro dilemma" is presented.
The Eastern Orthodox tradition has, at least in many cultural sub-groups, a type of the "Holy Fool" or "God's Fool." Catholocism, on account of its comprehensive institutional embrace of Reason through the Thomistic Synthesis, is rather cold to this type - with the celebrated exception of St Francis of Assizi. The Holy Fool, who often speaks truth to power, is morally insightful in direct proportion as he is emptied of the prideful pretenses of Reason. This view finds additional cover under the assumption that revealed religions present truths that are to be asserted as such although they are incomprehensible to human reason - but not to the divine mind, of course. I am not sure if the "Holy Fool" paradigm can work without this further assumption about more than one "kinds" of truth. The point then beecomes that this personage cannot possibly err in moral judgment - though this too might be understandable more readily as a matter of "God speaking through him." Cultivation of character traits or excellences, like unconditional love, culminates in this oracular agency. So, this is akin to what is referred to as Virtue Ethics.
The problem we saw earlier might kick back, though, once we move to the metaethical plateau and assess this theory too - even if we find good reason to reach an approving evaluation. Unless this move toward the metaethical is to be blocked too - or, better, if it is to be assimilated to what happens below: the right emotional cultivation, the right character traits through and through. How do we know that these ARE the right character traits? This is genuinely a faith view.

Curse of Strahd
Wizard of Wines Winery
The source of the ubiquitous Purple Grapemash and Red Dragon Crush. It is normally run by Davian Martikov, an old wereraven, though it has since been taken over by the druids of Yester Hill. Since then, wine no longer flows to the taverns that dot the Barovian countryside.
