The photos were taken during an astronomy tour which started with watching the sun set over the Western part of La Palma island. It is the Mirador del Jable. I love this viewpoint very much because it gives a very fine view towards the mountains nd the sea in the West of the island. And I am up there very often to watch the light fade and the colours of the sky change.
Have a lovely week, Petra.

Recently I was reviewing my Pinterest Pins.
One of my repinners had said regarding my anchor,
"Beach decor- can't decide if it's tacky or cool! Might be a great thing to do with all the costume jewelry I've gathered!"
Shabby Beach/Coastal Cottage may not be for everyone, but I love it. If you don't love it, stop reading right here, cause you'll definitely hate this project!
My mom found this bust at a salvage shop. Pretty, but it sat there for a while before I decided what I wanted to do with it.
Nice, but I wasn't thrilled with the bow on top of her head (which I later realized you can't see in this picture!)
Then I thought, how cute would she be if I made her a mermaid?
Supplies needed:
- A bust. This one was found at a salvage shop.
- E6000 adhesive (Don't even try this with another glue. You'll have wasted a lot of time.)
- A small paintbrush.
- Judykin's Diamond Glaze
- Various shells, sea glass, coral
- Gluegun/gluesticks
- Aluminum foil
Start by squeezing a bit of E6000 onto a piece of foil. Just dab a shell into the E6000, really just a little is all it takes. Squeeze a couple of dots of hot glue on top of the E6000. Press to your figurine for a few seconds. The E6000 forms the permanent bond, the hot glue forms the "fast bond". Alone, the silicone based E6000 will slide around, but not when topped with the hot glue. Really, try it!
I started my figurine with one of my leftover Vintage Jewelry Starfish from my Christmas sale, and worked my way around her head. I realize not everyone has previously made Vintage Jewelry Starfish lying around, but get creative. An old brooch would look great, or a starfish covered in glass glitter.. or just leave it out. I like that it creates a unique focal point.
Add, layer, fill in the spots…
I added Limpet Shells at the bottom to create a "Mermaid Scale" look..
Next. You'll have spider web strands of glue everywhere..anyone that's ever used a glue gun knows what a pain they are! But did you know if you hit it with a blow dryer, pouf! They're gone!
Lastly, Judykin's Diamond Glaze, I love this product so much! It's a very thin, very clear(non-yellowing) adhesive/top coat. It just kind of insures it'll all stay together. Drip some out of the bottle, and spread out with the paintbrush. Work in small areas, letting dry in between.
And she's done! Just love how she came out! Now.. To sell, or keep?
Thanks for visiting! -Rebecca

Human Opponents
Skill Levels
Your entire play experience changes depending on the skill of your opponents. Since there are so many players with different skill levels and different strategies it means that your experience can change with every match you play. This is the most important factor in having human opponents versus AI opponents because it means humans can provide you some uniquely different experiences that you could never get from AI.
Soul Calibur V - My Online Matches against human opponents, much more dynamic and interesting than AI.
Say for example you're going against one opponent in a match of Marvel vs Capcom 3. They will choose their characters and have some set strategy they might perform to try and beat you. They will also react to your moves and depending on their experience and skill, might be able to adapt to your strategy and counter what you're doing. Their set team of 3 players will each have different weaknesses and strengths that the player had decided to combine for various reasons. They will make sure their team has some sort of "synergy" that they work together. In comparison the AI in the game just randomly places different characters on the same team with no thought of strategy.
Marvel vs Capcom 3: My Online matches, where other players might panic if put in a tough spot
Also if a player has lower experience they might not know what to do against you or even panic and do even worse. You not only have to deal with the dynamic skill level of said player, but also their emotions too.
Emotional Response
If a player becomes angry during the course of play, depending on the player they can perform differently they then are when calm. Anger usually resorts to less focus, less careful strategy and impatience. This can lead to them performing worse and then becoming angrier as a result, which becomes a circle of doom for the player. Trying to remain calm and not change your play is one of the factors that dynamically changes your method of play.
Team Communication
Team communication is a great example of how much more beneficial playing with human opponents can be, or detrimental. A good team means that players will communicate useful information to each other, keep each other calm and formulate strategies together on the fly during a match, whether its a shooter or an RTS. You can perform tactics together that you otherwise wouldn't be able to accomplish alone or with AI. Say for example you're in Call of Duty. You can order your teammates to distract an enemy down a road while you go to flank the enemy via an alternate route.
Call of Duty Black Ops - Multiplayer, Team communication can be the difference between winning and losing
Of course other teammates can be detrimental, such as uncooperative lone wolves, suiciding players, AFK (in game but away) players, or lower level players (compared to overall skill level of all players in game).
Overall the play experience with human opponents is really the full, dynamic experience of the multiplayer portion of the game. Different strategies can be used and different skill levels are encountered which can change dynamically in a game.
AI Opponents
AI Predictability
While it was stated that human players are dynamic, in comparison AI opponents are generally not as dynamic in terms of their ability to adapt to strategies. The problem with answering for AI opponents is because every game is different in terms of AI capabilities. AI programming requires a LOT of effort and many games with multiplayer have begun to eliminate bots from multiplayer modes like Halo for example.
In general AI opponents cannot adapt as well as human opponents (higher level human opponents) because there can only be so many situations and AI can be put in. It must have so many different variables it has to choose from and decisions to make depending on the situation that it makes it near impossible for an AI to perfectly react to any situation. Even if they could that would make the AI too perfect and would take away from the experience since they would just counter your every move.
Tekken 6 - Against bots, which after a while can become a dull affair
Since AIs can adapt as well, it means they can only do so many actions. While a player playing against the AI the first time will think the AI is good, eventually the player may catch onto the AI's patterns and habits. The player can then exploit how the AI works all the time and eventually makes the AI very dull to play against as they would always do the same thing. The same could be said regarding a human opponent and their habits, however humans have the ability to adapt and change while most AI aren't as dynamic and learning algorithms for most games don't really exist in full force.
AIs can "Cheat"
Note: Contains a bit of Engine Stuff!
AIs can also be given the ability to cheat which can range from full knowledge of positions of all players on the map, to "auto aim". This means an AI can immediately detect your position in an FPS and shoot at you with pin point accuracy. This can be seen in some "kill cams" in Call of Duty Black Ops, where an AI does not even see you then spins around immediately and shoots you right in the head. In the case of a game like Star Craft, the AI can simply just know the position of all your units and buildings and move its own units towards your units to attack.
Call of Duty Black Ops - Aimbot, aiming at you perfectly with little reaction time
Due to the coding required to make an AI, sometimes this is very difficult to avoid especially if not given enough resources to develop a super great AI. In Black Op's case, the AI for combat training may not have been given as much thought since human opponents have always been the main draw for Call of Duty games. What they could be doing is detecting player positions around and using ray tracing to detect if a player is in potential view of the AI, and within a certain range. If they fulfill this requirements then the AI will turn to the player since they already know their position.
As for how the AI is able to spin around so quickly and shoot with pin point accuracy is due to the AI having the position of the player. The AI gets that position, finds the dot product of its position and then uses these two to get the angle to the player. The AI likely can detect the position of body mass (meaning head, chest, legs) to find the best place to shoot and then shoots from there. AI can always be able to detect the exact spot they shoot. The only reason they might miss is because the developers would add a variable that "shifts" the aim of the AI so that it might miss the center of mass.
AI for Teaching players
While I have been pointing out the flaws in AI, let's start pointing out some of it's positives. For one, AI opponents usually have set difficulties which means a new player can choose the one that fits their player level. Whereas human opponents it's not easy to tell at first glance how good they will be, AI will consistently provide a similar level of difficulty depending on the one you chose.
League of Legends - They provide AI opponents with various difficulties to ease players into the game
AI in general are a stepping stone in fighting human opponents. AI provide a safer and less hostile environment to play in whilst learning all the game mechanics. What I mean by hostile environment is that not everyone is comfortable playing with other players online, or strangers at least. It can cause stress in some individuals especially if there are other players on the microphone yelling slander towards the player. What I also mean is that the stakes aren't as high. If you lose to AI or with other people, you generally don't feel as bad as you might against human opponents. (This is of course debatable and up for HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY STUDY) But for me I find this is the case as when I do AI, I am usually learning anyways and if my teammates lose with me, unless they are trolling then I know they are learning too.
Although I stated that frequently AIs can cheat, this is usually avoided on lower levels of difficulty because they add enough "stutter" to make the AI not use it's perfect methods of detection. This can be either via lowering their accuracy, delaying their reaction time or in games of knowing your position, just not act upon it. So despite those "cheats" the AI on lower levels won't generally be too bad for new players. Hopefully enough testing was done on the game for this.
Advanced AI
Unreal Tournament - Human like bots, even since 2000
For those companies with smart AI programmers there have been some pretty sucessful multiplayer AI bots out there. The most obvious and one of the most celebrated of these are the Unreal Tournament AI. Even since 2000 their AI has been extremely good, so good that you might mistake them for a normal player. They don't follow set patterns (at least not very obviously) and seem to be able to react to things on the fly. They are of course still following some general structure of what to do in certain situations and have a limited amount of different reactions but they are blended together so seemlessly that you wouldn't even notice at first.
This example stands out as one of the few times games have shown to demonstrate comparable AI to humans, however it still has its fair share of flaws, such as "Godlike" bots having instant aimbot much like Black Ops.
Overall a general consensus is that AI are great tools for learning but generally won't provide the same full experience that human players will. Human players will be much more dynamic and cater to a variety of different skills and strategies while AI will be much more predictable and provide a much more linear experience. Both have their merits and faults but overall there is a reason why AI bots hasn't been as much of a focus in multiplayer and it shows.
Though I was intending to cover Single Player and multiplayer differences, I will do so in a later blog post as it doesn't fully relate to the topic here.
That's all for now, this is The Penguin, signing off!

[90] But Vitellius came into Judea, and went up to Jerusalem; it was at the time of that festival which is called the Passover. Vitellius was there magnificently received, and released the inhabitants of Jerusalem from all the taxes upon the fruits that were bought and sold, and gave them leave to have the care of the high priest's vestments, with all their ornaments, and to have them under the custody of the priests in the temple, which power they used to have formerly, although at this time they were laid up in the tower of Antonia, the citadel so called, and that on the occasion following: There was one of the [high] priests, named Hyrcanus; and as there were many of that name, he was the first of them; this man built a tower near the temple, and when he had so done, he generally dwelt in it, and had these vestments with him, because it was lawful for him alone to put them on, and he had them there reposited when he went down into the city, and took his ordinary garments; the same things were continued to be done by his sons, and by their sons after them. But when Herod came to be king, he rebuilt this tower, which was very conveniently situated, in a magnificent manner; and because he was a friend to Antonius, he called it by the name of Antonia. And as he found these vestments lying there, he retained them in the same place, as believing, that while he had them in his custody, the people would make no innovations against him. The like to what Herod did was done by his son Archelaus, who was made king after him; after whom the Romans, when they entered on the government, took possession of these vestments of the high priest, and had them reposited in a stone-chamber, under the seal of the priests, and of the keepers of the temple, the captain of the guard lighting a lamp there every day; and seven days before a festival they were delivered to them by the captain of the guard, when the high priest having purified them, and made use of them, laid them up again in the same chamber where they had been laid up before, and this the very next day after the feast was over. This was the practice at the three yearly festivals, and on the fast day; but Vitellius put those garments into our own power, as in the days of our forefathers, and ordered the captain of the guard not to trouble himself to inquire where they were laid, or when they were to be used; and this he did as an act of kindness, to oblige the nation to him. Besides which, he also deprived Joseph, who was also called Caiaphas, of the high priesthood, and appointed Jonathan the son of Ananus, the former high priest, to succeed him. After which, he took his journey back to Antioch.

What prescreening measures are taken to ensure that floaters are qualified before they are placed in a department?
Floater Services prescreens all applicants to include face to face interviews, reference checks and background checks.
How much does it cost to obtain a floater and how are departments charged?
Departments are charged an hourly rate based on the tier level selected within the floater request form [pdf]. Departments are required to select a tier that best represents the level of job duties that will be performed. An invoice will be sent to the department with the charge amount and departments will be billed once a month to the department number and fund number provided on the floater request form. Please see the floater website for a list of daily rates.
Do departments have an option in the selection of a floater?

Based on those requests, Floater Services selects or recruits candidates that possess the needed skills and qualifications to successfully perform the duties of the position. If more than one candidate fits the description, Floater Services will send the department the work history and experience of the top 3 candidates. The department can then choose the applicant they feel best fits their need.
How is time recorded and approved for floaters?
Floaters are given access to ITAMS in order to enter their daily hours. In addition, floaters must complete a paper timesheet given by Floater Services to track their time for each week. The paper time sheet must be signed by the department contact and the floater, and then submitted to Floater Services every Friday no later than 5 pm. Based on the paper time sheet, the floater supervisor will approve the time in ITAMS.
What type of training or preparation is provided for the floater prior to their first day on an assignment?
All floaters are given a general overview of the assignment to include the job description provided by the department, the department location, the department contact they are to report to, and the anticipated length of the assignment. On the job training is the responsibility of the requesting department. Although floaters possess the required skill set, the department must provide the essential resources and tools in order for floaters to complete the assignment successfully.
What if the floater assigned is not performing successfully in the department?
If the floater assigned has proven to lack the required knowledge, skills and ability to perform the assignment, the department contact can discuss their concerns with the floater pool supervisor to seek other alternatives if available.
Do departments have to provide an email account for floaters?
Floaters are given a USC email account through VIP once all new hire paperwork is submitted by Floater Services. The department contact is responsible for establishing an email account for the floater if the department requires a certain type of email account other than the @mailbox account.
Is any type of advance notice needed upon completion of an assignment?
Departments will be asked to give an anticipated end date for their assignment. If it is foreseen that the assignment will be ending before the given anticipated end date, please let Floater Services know as soon as possible to avoid employment gaps for the floaters.

All Saints Whitstable raised £280 from 7 supporters
Start your own crowdfunding page
Closed 08/11/2017
We've raised £280 to resurface the All Saints churchyard paths and the Shirley Hall car park
- Whitstable, United Kingdom
- Funded on Wednesday, 8th November 2017
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
We have had estimates for up to £80,000 to resurface both car parks and the paths. We have now resurfaced our main church car park but we still have our churchyard paths and Shirley Hall car park to do. We may attract more grants and legacies in the coming years so we are aiming to raise £20,000 through local fundraising for the time being. This is a huge amount of money but good quality tarmacking is extremely expensive these days and we have a large number of paths in the churchyard. If we reach £20,000 it is our hope that we can carry out the work on the churchyard paths in the next couple of years. So please be generous. Rev SImon Tillotson - vicar of All Saints Whitstable

To determine whether C1q ablation has a protective effect on retinal ganglion cell (RGC) and axonal loss in glaucoma.
Congenic C1q Knockout (KO) mice were generated in the DBA/2NNia background. Female and male KO, Heterozygous (HT) and Wild type (WT) mice were aged. IOPs were recorded in a subset of animals. Retinas of mice from all three groups at 6, 9 and 12 months of age were flat mounted after retrograde labeling, imaged and scored semi quantitatively on a 10 point scale by two independent observers. Semi-thin sections of optic nerves (ON) were also graded for the amount of axonal damage semi quantitatively, by two masked observers. One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Bonferroni's post-hoc test was used for statistical analysis in the study.
Female KO and HT mice had significantly higher IOP (ANOVA, P<0.05) between 6 and 12 months of age compared to WT animals. No differences in IOPs between animals of the three genotypes were observed in males (ANOVA, P>0.05). At 6 months of age, there was no difference in retinal or optic nerve scores between the three groups (KO, HT, WT; ANOVA, P>0.05 for both RGC and ON) in animals of either sex. At 9 months of age, female mice didn't show significant differences in retinal or ON scores between KO, HT and WT (ANOVA, P>0.05 for both RGCs and ONs). However, male KO and HT mice had better RGC and ON scores (ANOVA, P<0.05 for both RGCs and ONs) compared with WT mice. At 12 months of age, both male and female C1q KO had better RGC scores (ANOVA, P<0.05 for both sex) compared to WT and HT but ON scores were not differerent between all three genotypes in animals of either sex (ANOVA, P>0.05 for both sexes).
Absence of C1q ameliorates RGC and ON loss in the DBA/2 mice but this effect differs by sex and is probably modulated by IOP.

Q. I am about to be made redundant and I don't know what I should do about my debts.
A. If you are in a situation where you are at risk of being made redundant or have lost your job, money worries become a major factor.
Even if you are expecting a decent redundancy payout, it is hard to know how best to use this.
Plus there is the strain of keeping up with your payments despite having a big reduction in monthly income.
Start by listing all of your debts, outstanding balances and how much you pay each month.
Check to see if you currently have cover by way of insurances or payment protection policies and make a claim.
These could include:
*Mortgage payment protection insurance (MPPI) which would cover your mortgage repayments,
*Payment protection insurance (PPI) which covers some or all of your loan or credit card repayments,
*Short-term income protection insurance which replaces a proportion of your income.
If you are uncertain, you can approach you lender and ask whether your mortgage, loan or credit card is covered by insurance.
If you have insurance but your claim is refused, you may have been mis-sold the policy and could be eligible to claim compensation.
Prioritise your debts. A priority debt is one where the creditor's ultimate sanction may result in the loss of: - your home; essential supplies, for example, gas or electricity; or in some circumstances, essential goods (eg vehicle).
The sanctions open to creditors for non-payment of non-priority debts are generally less serious.
Create a household budget detailing income and expenditure figures.
Start by listing your income, followed by priority bills, essential household items and everyday expenses.
This will make it clear what you've got coming in and what's going out.
The amount that you have left after paying out for household bills, living expenses, and priority debts is what's available to start paying off non priority debt.
On top of what's left over at the end of each month, you could consider using some of your redundancy pay or savings to clear some of your debt. Starting with priority debts.
Or you could also consider using your redundancy pay to top up your income while you're not working to make ends meet.
Now that your circumstances have changed there is the possibility of entitlement to benefits, for example, Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA), Housing Benefit, Rates Rebate, free school meals for your children and help with NHS costs.
Benefits depend on your circumstances, and a free benefit check can be calculated by an adviser at your local Citizens Advice. You should claim benefits as soon as you can so that you do not miss out on what you are entitled to.
You can make a claim on your first day of unemployment.
If you are getting Working Tax Credit (WTC) and your job ends because of redundancy, you will no longer be entitled to WTC. Some people can carry on getting WTC for four more weeks after their job ends. If you lose your job, you might be entitled to more Child Tax Credit. You must inform HM Revenue and Customs about the change in your circumstances.
Need help?

Contact can be made by phoning the central number 0800 028 1881, or emailing email@example.com or website www.citizensadvice.org.uk/nireland or by visiting your local Citizens Advice office.

Exploring Yoda's Decision to Exile Himself
Short Film: Dey See Me Rollin'

Dey See Me Rollin'
De-aging De Niro for The Irishman – Daring or Dangerous?
From Producer Gaston Pavlovich:
You don't use prosthetics, make-up; they have acting and the technology is able to have them go through different time ages without the prosthetics. So we've seen some tests and it looks extraordinary. We were able to film Bob and just do a scene. We saw it come down to when he was like 20, 40, 60, so we're looking forward to that, from that point of view, for The Irishman … Imagine seeing what De Niro looked like in The Godfather: Part II days, that's pretty much how you're going to see him again.
I think most of us who have been following The Irishman are against digitally de-aging the actors for the flashback scenes. I'd much rather they went for casting different actors, a la Once Upon a Time in America. As well as the margin for error being smaller, it would also add a nice dynamic, seeing as though it is probably going to be noticeable when actors who are over 70 years old are going to be playing 30 year old versions of themselves, but when you cast different actors they bring their own little ticks to the role.

Filed under: electronics are out to get me, whineyness
3:59 and no sign of the AC Dude.
Oh, would you look at that. Now it's 4:00.
*running to the front door and peeking out again*
Nope, just the neighbors.
Even as hot as it is (90 degrees…just checked) I still found the energy to clean up a little. (that would be my mother working her magic from 100 miles away)
I'm sure AC Dude is used to going to people's messy houses considering he goes there because their AC isn't working. And I don't know about you, but when my AC isn't working I don't feel like doing a damn thing. But all those years of brainwashing kicked in and I started scrubbing random stuff.
*checking watch*
This is going to be a long 2 hours. I will possibly keep you updated provided I don't spontaneously combust. (took me about 6 tries to spell that)
4:43 and AC Dude is here! Woo!
Salvation Cold air will soon be upon us!
5:15 and AC Dude has departed leaving only bad news and taking money for it. Grrrr. Apparently our compressor is conspiring against us and our check book. And the really good news? They can't replace the unit until next Wednesday. Do you know how many days that is living in a 90 degree house?! Do you? Let us count together…one, two, three, four, five, six! Six days. SIX F'ING DAYS! I am going to go insane if I don't sweat to death first.
Earlier I made the joke that I went to the gym to cool off. Sadly, while I was working out, I still didn't get as hot as I do at home sitting on the couch.
Six days. Oh my God. That $8 doggy pool at Petsmart is looking pretty damn good right now.

Vividness - at Culturehub (NY, 2013)
Project homepage: http://abelardogfournier.org/vividness
This is an installation where a light mechanism renders an arrangement of dried flowers into an illusory regime of artificial vitality through the real-time manipulation of colors. By means of a digital projector, colors are sent to the dried leaves and flower in a way that the resulting image shows no colors at all.
Living plants are first cut and dried so their surface is able to reflect the projected colors and create the illusory grayscale image. The projector lightens then the scene with a rhythmically oscillating color pulse so that the arrangement seems to come to life in a sustained digital breath.
The flow of light in the installation miniaturizes somehow the complex of processes of substitution, replacement and transformation where mechanical, chemical and digital revolutions have relied on. This setup of a controlled phenomenon, however, is open, and bodies of visitors can interrupt the projection beam when crossing the installation space. Seen from this proximity, the arrangement reacts to residual lights and shows its old colors.
In his Negative Dialectics, Theodor Adorno stated that there is a space where to catch the indelible color: "Only the utmost distance would be proximity". This radical distance becomes a bodily presence inside Vividness, a proximity which enables to alter the phenomenon as well as rewrite it.…
Hello World! Processing
Co-directed with Raúl Alaejos, produced by Ultra-lab
Hello World! Processing is a documentary on creative coding that explores the role that ideas such as process, experimentation and algorithm play in this creative field featuring artists, designers and code enthusiasts. Based on a series of interviews to some of the leading figures of the Processing open programming platform community, the documentary is built itself as a continuous stream of archived references, projects and concepts shared by this community.
The documentary is published under a Creative Commons license in the site www.hello-world.cc .
Stone, Pixel, Plastic, Stone
The workshop is intended to take the form of a circular theoretical / practical path in which we will study the transformations inherent to the processes of transforming an object, and the change in their properties at each step: 3D scanning, digital alteration, printing in plastic, and re-obtaining the object using moulds.
I've been invited by the Art & Technology lab of Arteleku, coordinated by Daniel Artamendi, to workshop together with artist Dario Urzay in San Sebastian during two days, 20-21 October 2013.
Broadly speaking, the process is as follows:
1. Scanning rocks, using different techniques to obtain a 3D grid.
2. Altering/parametrizing the 3D grid, either manually or using code, and preparing it for printing on a 3D printer.
3. Printing the 3D model in PLA/ABS plastics.
4. With the part printed, creating formwork and obtaining the negative of the part using moulds of different kinds.
5. Using the moulds, re-obtaining the object in different materials (cement, plaster, etc.).
6. Repeating the process with the new object.
The workshop will take the form of a path; participants will travel and, with the guests, will participate in the different milestones and transformations of the object. The workshop is targeted at artists, architects, sculptors and enthusiasts of digital manufacture. No technical knowledge is required.
Creative Algorithms - Alhóndiga Bilbao, Sept. 2013
Algorithms are invisible shapers of our lives and contexts. They decide stuff that affects us, sort the information that reaches us, organize our movements inside cities and countries and analyze each of our digital choices.
During this workshop we worked on the invisibility of algorithms, on The New Aesthetic topic and on their emergent properties, among other issues, and introduced Processing as a tool to begin to think with and on them.
MASTA website: http://masta-project.com/
MASTA is a project on social constructions aimed to set up ephemeral arrangements of people, abstractions and objects. Processes initiated by this system will generally end with the realization of an object or a structure, but the production of objects is not the goal of the MASTA project.
MASTA is a production system of abstractions:
"To abstract is to construct a plane upon which otherwise different and unrelated matters may be brought into many possible relations."
McKenzie Wark, A hacker Manifesto (2004)
MASTA looks for abstractions to produce improbable bonds in specific contexts of contemporary systems: economic and socially situated contexts of production and exchange of objects.
The MASTA project points out a space of alternative processes of production and exchange of objects within abstraction and systems. It stems from the possibility of experimenting with new abstractions thanks to technologies such as personal 3D printers and open programming platforms, and the willing to explore and reenact communities of bonds.…

5 Ways To Endure the Entrepreneurship Journey
By: Christy Rutherford
It takes a special type of person to want to be an entrepreneur. Freedom looks appealing to the masses; but as the journey of being a successful entrepreneur continues to unfold in slow motion, the majority of people lose their spark and go back to a secure job.
Entrepreneurship is TOUGH!! However, it is also exhilarating, liberating, and fun at times.
Entrepreneurs who've finally broken through to success, and are financially free always say that to enjoy the journey. But if you're still working and struggling to get your breakthrough, life can seem like drudgery; and it can seem as though it's a never-ending cycle.
I urge you to work until you BREAKTHROUGH to success. Follow these 5 steps and learn to enjoy the journey to entrepreneurial success.
#1 Set Clear Goals:
"People with goals succeed because they know where they are going… It's a simple as that."
– Earl Nightingale
Get clear on what you want in life and go for it! Sit down and write down 5 goals you would like to accomplish in the next 6 months; then for the next 12 months and again for the next 5 years. When you set a clear vision for what you want, you have something to work towards, and a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Write your vision on note cards and hang them in your bathroom mirror. Have another set at your desk. That way, your goals are always in front of you.
#2 Spend wisely:
"Half of the stress that we go through is trying to pay for and take care of what we own."
– Joyce Meyer
The quickest way to get into financial chains is spending money beyond your means in order to look good for others. Some people put a lot of time and energy into looking like they have money, but don't do the same for actually creating multiple streams of income.
Many people sabotage their success buying luxury items too early to look successful; when they should have reinvested that money back into their business to grow it into a sustainable model. Be responsible and make good financial decisions. Take classes and get advice from financial counselors.
Invest your money into growth vehicles; and don't spend your money to impress people who don't care about you anyway.
#3 Be Mindful of Advice:
"Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who will accept them. If you are influenced by 'opinions' when you reach DECISIONS, you will not succeed in any undertaking."
– Napoleon Hill
Seek out successful people who have the results that you desire and emulate them. Be mindful of people giving you advice that don't have the results you desire. When you buy someone's opinion, you buy their lifestyle. If you were looking to buy a Mercedes, would you seek advice from someone who drives a Dodge Neon?
This includes your family and friends. They may give you well intended advice in order to save you from yourself; but if they failed at everything they tried or if they're afraid to leave their job, can they really give you useful advice as an entrepreneur?
We all have 24 hours in a day. Spend your time learning from the people who are successful in the areas you desire success and avoid negative people who only want to bring you down.
#4 Expect Failure:
"I think that everything that happens in our life is here to teach us something about living."
– Oprah Winfrey
The more you want in life and the greater you desire to become, failure will be a natural part of the process. If you realize that most highly successful people failed (epically) before achieving success, then you won't feel like a loser when it happens to you. Failure is a stepping stone on the way to achievement. Find the lesson in your failure and apply it in your next attempt. Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times while inventing the lightbulb. If you quit only after one attempt, do you really deserve success?
#5 Regularly Evaluate Your Inner Circle:
"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."
– Albert Einstein
Just like the seasons change, there will be people in your life for a season; and very few for your lifetime. When friendships and relationships become toxic and you feel like you are being held back and choked out, it's time to let them go.
A key phrase of when it's time to leave, is when people ask, "Who do you think you are?"
This applies to your friends and colleagues. Don't allow others to impose their limitations and fears on you. Be mindful if you are playing small in order to fit in with the group you are around. It's said that you are the average of your 5 closest friends. If they are all broke and you desire more money, it's time to get new friends.
The leaves on trees dry up and fall away in the fall; but a new set comes fresh and anew in spring. Make room for new friendships and experiences by cutting way the old. Only then will you see what you are really capable of achieving.
Keep these 5 points with you as you move through your journey as a successful entrepreneur. You have the power to choose how you show up in this world every single day. Be kind, love others, love yourself and you'll discover a whole new world. This life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it!! Live full and die empty!
Christy Rutherford is a Leadership and Success Coach that assists leaders with becoming conscious and authentic to accelerate their success. She's also a speaker and author, publishing five #1 best-selling books on Amazon in eight months.

reply this postBuildings are quite expensive and not every person can buy it. However, business loans are created to support people in such situations.
respond this postThat is understandable that money can make us independent. But what to do if somebody doesn\'t have cash? The one way only is to try to get the mortgage loans and sba loan.
respond this topicDon\'t you know that it\'s the best time to receive the personal loans, which would make you dreams real.
answer this topicI opine that to receive the loan from creditors you ought to have a great motivation. However, once I\'ve got a student loan, just because I was willing to buy a car.
answerI strictly recommend not to wait until you earn big sum of cash to buy goods! You can just get the credit loans or secured loan and feel comfortable
respond this postLots of specialists argue that loans aid people to live the way they want, just because they are able to feel free to buy needed goods. Moreover, some banks offer student loan for young and old people.

Hiya Albert, Lew. Yes, I've always said one of the best things about Dublin is that it's so easy to get away to the hills - one of my favourite places as far back as my youthful Vespa scooter days.
Hi Ella. Sometimes it gets disheartening, and you feel like just accepting it's a rotten little kip and that's that. I kind of had The Jam's "Beat Surrender" in my head when I was messing about with the video, and then it sequed into "Bleat Surrender" with aid of a bottle of Tesco Rose and several bottles of Stella... Then again the blog still comes up well in searches, as far as getting our point across.
Hi John. Thanks - you guys are the ones who make doing this thing worth it. I'll keep plugging away but, come to think of it, if any of you want to contribute posts in the flavour of GNation's delectable ethos (just email me)it would be great.
Howdy Lew - think you're one of the blog's earliest readers, so great you've been tuning in all this time. Sure we won't give up just yet, so... and by emails and comments I get GNation still gets up some noses worth getting up. Then there's you guys.

I feel your pain. That's a hard age especially with a young baby around and I bet the younger sibling is part of the problem. Your LO sounds like he's acting out for attention, albeit negative attention, it's still attention.
I would just continue doing what you are doing. Stay consistent with time out's and any other discipline you decide on. If you threaten something, follow through. Don't allow him to get away with any negative behaviors. It's annoying for the parent that has to constantly be on top of the child that is misbehaving but consistency really is the only thing that works.
One other thought is maybe a reward system for the good things he does? Around that age I got a sticker chart and my son earned stickers by being nice to his sister, cleaning up toys, eating all of this dinner, etc and then he got a reward for earning stickers. That got him super pumped during a time where it felt like all we ever did was punish him
Good luck, it's not easy!

books about animals, chapter books, fables, funny books for children, Gooney bird The Fabulous, Lois Lowry, stories about stories, transitional books
I reviewed a Gooneybird Greene book by Lois Lowry last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. There are a whole series of Gooneybird Greene books, and Gooney The Fabulous is my first completed book of 2016. It's a good way to start the year.
The editions I have are by Yearling and are marketed as transitional or chapter books. They're excellent for children who are moving on from picture books but are not yet ready for an entire novel. Short, entertaining and with a few black and white illustrations to break up the text these are a much more achievable prospect for the newly confident reader.
What I particularly like about the Gooneybird books are the fact that they deal with writing and story telling. They're by no means dry though. Gooneybird Greene, as her name suggests, is somewhat eccentric. She wears strange clothes to school, has exotic lunches and is incredibly confident. She is not, however, a horrible character at all. She is kind and thoughtful without being sappy, and her class mates adore her. She reminds me of a kind of American style Pippi Longstocking in some ways.
Gooney bird's own confidence is something she very gently teaches to the rest of the class. Between her and the class teacher Mrs. Pidgeon, they nurture each child's individuality and the class learns to be proud of who they are and still work together and help each other. It may sound far too nice, but the lessons here are delivered with humour and a kindness that makes them palatable.
This book is all about fables. Mrs. Pidgeon shares Aesop's fables with the class and then she and Gooneybird help each child come up with their own fable which they share with the class.
It would be a great book to share in class, particularly if you are looking at fables or different kinds of writing. It's suitable for boys and girls aged 6-10.

30 hand-picked films. A new one every day
One of the best Burt Reynolds "rednecks and cars" movies, White Lightning serves up some great auto chases through a sweaty, dirt-poor Southern atmosphere.
This is a pretty badass movie. Burt Reynolds really tears shit up in this film. I just wish the sequel would have been better.
White Lightning heats up tension between bad lawmen and ex-cons when blood is good for the moonshine business. Sometimes very uneven and sometimes brilliant...this film has a strong taste with its awesome cast who looks southern down to their sweaty foreheads, western shirts and flower-dresses but they are all deluded by uneven direction especially the end. I would have loved to see Sam Peckinpah do this at the time.
I wish they were more respectful to cars.
Classic car flick. Nice and fast all rounder.

Nudist Women In Later Life
Older Women Do Enjoy Nudism
Like most nudist magazines, we're often guilty of skewing toward the young when celebrating the culture of nudism. It isn't intentional so much as a reflection of the vivacity of younger nudists and their hard working camera phones. Older nudists are less prone to sharing their nudist pictures, but more likely to share their trip reports and general reflections on the experiences of being "nude."
Also, statistics from our Web traffic, whether before or after the "gate" (age verification), reveal about a 200:1 ratio of interest in photography or video of young subjects versus the old. However, that interest doesn't reflect the actual ratio of young versus older nudists. Go to any nude beach and you'll see about a third of nudists there are over fifty.
Fitness Is A Factor For Most Nudists
It's true that in our society many of us aren't really fit enough to be presentable nude (despite what the Huffington Post may claim, or anyone encouraging us to think obesity is beautiful). Fit doesn't have anything to do with wrinkles or the usual signs of aging. Hey, ultimately gravity wins the battle - we all know that. Boobs droop, it's normal (as soon as the late twenties, depending on size). It's how we manage our aging that matters, and nine tenths of the battle is keeping the weight off.
The two older women featured on this page look great (both in their late fifties). Most men in their fifties or sixties would be lucky to be with women similarly fit. The sad fact is, most men aren't so lucky and, generally speaking, neither are their wives. Most couples give in to sedentary lifestyles and sloppy diets.
But not so much in the nudist community, where most couples tend to be fit and relatively trim late into life (weirdly, this isn't so true in Europe, except for French women - it's true).
Are older nudists offensive looking to the younger nudist? Not if they're fit and trim, but yes if the older nudist is geriatric dude with a huge paunch leering at them. Well, that would creep anyone out. See Boomer Nudists

That's our new warehouse. It's 1700 sq ft of empty right now. Ostensibly it looks like no more than big slab of concrete with fluorescent lights hovering overhead. It's actually much more than that.
Kristy had been excited to take me to the new warehouse for weeks. I was away so much that it took until last weekend for us to get over there. I was amazed. It's perfect. It's more than big enough for now, it's easy to get to, it's surrounded by trees, our landlord rocks, and it has every feature we need (a wash basin, heat, and a bathroom).
It's the bigger space that has both of us so excited. Our last warehouse was actually just a corner of larger space. At 400 sq ft it was just barely enough (actually far too little) space to pack boxes in. Each time we packed boxes we would unpack from our corner and borrow some space from our neighbors. When we were all set for the day we had to Tetris it all back into our allotted cube. We always try to stay positive but that sucked. Because we were compressed into a corner, the space was unusable for anything other than packing boxes. Like a goldfish in a bowl we didn't really sense that this was limiting our growth. We never even thought about using the space in other ways.
Seeing the larger space for the first time unfolded another level of potential. I know it's not huge, but we can do lot in this space! We can pack boxes Henry Ford style. We can work together with our interns and employees. We can make the space ours. We can build our own community here.
I'm pumped and can't wait to start making it our own. We are all ears if you have any ideas on how to make this empty canvas feel like Quinn Popcorn. So far we bought a bunch of 70's era elementary school chairs on Craig's List. More photos to come!

Anyone fancy a beer tonight?
Just heading for a cheeky one or two in the Red Lion, nothing major. I'm on a natural laughter high from today and fancy letting some of it out in a boozer.

There are spoilers in this review. Duh.
I really enjoy the hell out of this show. I'm really impressed with how well they are managing the various storylines and keeping it interesting. Every week is pretty solid! They're developing the characters slowly and keeping them likable. The overarching plot is a good way to get shows going, because it means they do always have a huge goal on top of the little mission of the week stories. Yes it's cheesy sometimes, but so are comics, hahaha. And humanity. Previously on Legends of Tomorrow, they're all on a mission to stop Vandal Savage. One of their own has already been murdered by him, Carter (YAY, I mean oh how sad). Unfortunately while in Russia, they found out they were attempting to make a Russian Firestorm and Dr. Stein was taken captive, along with Ray and Mick. Leonard was forced to abandon them so he could take the Firestorm weapon with him, and he's pretty mad about it, but they need to stage a rescue now.
But is it a rescue? A big thing about this episode is what they're willing to do to protect the future. I really love the developing friendship between Sara and Rip, and also between Sara and Leonard. Sara was from the League of Assassins so she's killed, and her bloodlust is a constant problem. It's her that Rip asks to kill Dr. Stein if they can't save him. He's too dangerous and they can't take the chance the Russians get a Firestorm. He shows her what will happen to her world if that happens. Leonard on the other hand encourages her not to go back to that life. It's interesting coming from a criminal, but I think it's because he recognizes it's not good for Sara. And he does consistently have this mode of us vs. them, the team vs. everyone else. He states clearly he's only there for Mick, because he and Mick are partners. It's interesting to see loyalties in this. Mick and Ray are tortured and Ray purposely gets a beating to protect Mick. Because of this Mick insists they save him too, even if it's not smart for their escape. This leads Leonard to decide to talk Sara down so she doesn't kill Stein and live with that on her conscience. I like how they're slowly bringing these characters around.
Stein struggles all episode with being tortured and his mind cracked open, first seeing Cisco and it's all an illusion. He does start to break, but Jax convinces him to wait for them by cutting into his own arm with a message. The Russians don't know yet that he actually IS Firestorm. He finally cracks once they keep torturing Ray and Mick, and when she finds out he's Firestorm. She wants to bond the two of them together, taking over as the dominant. Sara does let him go instead of shooting him, and Jax and Kendra convince him to let them go on a rescue mission. Jax is able to convince Stein to take over and bond with him instead, leaving the Russian scientist (who I don't remember the name of) to her death. They all get out safe and sound, and stronger as a team. They start flying off but are attacked by the bounty hunter, and the ship gets heavily damaged.
They spiral out of control and into a dark future. It's Starling city thirty years from now, and it's a devastated wasteland. Sara sees Green Arrow, but it's not Oliver Queen, and he points an arrow at her aggressively. This is not the world she knows anymore. Dum dum duuuuuum. I am so excited to see the next part. This is really impressive, how they're smoothly going from one episode into the next, it keeps the energy always high. I appreciate how connections are happening throughout the group, and that they're always questioning the ends justifying the means. While Rip is more ruthless than they are, the team is also starting to soften him up. I genuinely love this show, I can't wait to see what happens next. I know that's supposed to be Connor Hawke, but he's not Native American, so there has to be something else to it.

You Do Not Need A Travel Representative To Select A Great HotelA hotel stay can be a relaxing getaway or it can be an expensive regrettable nightmare. The difference is knowing how to find the right hotel and how to get the best prices. So the tips below are perfect for finding the right room at the right price. So keep reading and start planning your next hotel stay.
Try using price comparison sites online to find a hotel when you're on a budget. Websites like Priceline, Travelocity, Expedia, and the like can help you see all kinds of hotels in different locations. You can narrow down your searches to specific price ranges and compare them to each other.
Find great prices at online travel sites like Orbitz and Expedia. If you have a hotel loyalty program your a part of, be sure you enter this information while looking through rates. You may also be eligible for other discounts through any memberships you have with organizations such as AAA and AARP.
Spend some time reading online reviews of hotels left by real customers before you make a reservation. These reviews are often your best source of information, since they are written by people who have actually stayed at the hotel. Be sure to pay attention to the most recent reviews, since the hotel may have already addressed older complaints.
The Things You'll Wish You Knew Before Visiting Costa Rica
There are many things to know about Costa Rica that can make all the difference between a great travel experience and a negative one. We obviously want you to always have the best experience as possible in this little country. For that reason, we've compiled what we've learned into 35 things you need to know before visiting Costa Rica.
1. Take Uber instead of taxis
2. Public buses are decent
3. Download the app Off the Grid Traveler
4. Renting a car is the best way to get around
5. Drivers are insane
The Things You'll Wish You Knew Before Visiting Costa Rica
Look into club-level rates. While these rooms are more expensive up front, they typically offer a great value. For example, included in the price could be breakfast or dessert, Wi-Fi service or other perks, like drinks and snacks. See what is offered and decide if the extra cost is worth it to you.
Make sure that you know the check-in time for the hotel that you book. Some people fail to check when they will be able to access their rooms. They arrive at the hotel but find that their room isn't ready yet. Ask for an early check-in time if absolutely necessary.
Find out what perks are offered on hotel club floors before deciding the extra premium isn't worth the cost. At some hotels, staying on a club floor can mean benefits like free food and even full meals. Factor up the potential expenses of paying for those on their own, and you might see that an upgrade can actually save you money.
Do not feel silly when it comes to asking a hotel's guest representative some questions. If you are looking for quiet and relaxation, you need to ask ahead to be sure you will get it. For instance, is the hotel too close to an airport? Is there construction going on nearby. Know this before booking with a hotel.
Sign up for frequent guest programs at hotels. Similar to how you earn points from frequent flyer programs, hotels offer you similar rewards for your stay. costa rica rainy season can be used to earn free nights, discounts and more.
Check out the prices at the hotel website. Sometimes the hotel website will have deals that trump the hotel discount websites out there. Before you pick a deal be sure to do this due diligence. You can even call the hotel to ask if they have any unpublished rates.
To save money on a trip when you are traveling with a large family, choose a hotel that offers a free breakfast. Even if it's just continental fare, you're saving a significant amount of money by cutting out having to pay for that one meal each day on the road.
To avoid spending $2 or $3 each time you want a soda at a hotel, throw a six- or twelve-pack into the car when you head out on the road. For almost as much money as that one soda, you can have a dozen of them chilling on ice in the room, or in the mini-fridge.
Maximize your hotel stays with membership programs like the ones that Marriott or Choice Hotels offer. simply click the following website page allows you to earn points each time you book a room. You can use these points to purchase perks in the future.
Stay safe and secure in a hotel. Travelers to hotels are often robbed even when they are inside the room. Use every lock the hotel provides, including the handle lock, chain and deadbolt. Hotels are a magnet for shady characters looking to exploit people who are traveling with a lot of money and valuables.
When staying at a hotel, make sure you take proper safety precautions. Always keep your room door locked. Use any security chain, metal security locks or deadbolts. If someone knocks on your door unexpectedly claiming to be hotel staff, check with the front desk before opening the door. Don't open the door unless you're sure is an authorized hotel employee.
Don't just check one hotel deal website, check many of them. Each one may have different deals available to them. You could be missing out if you skip overt this little additional research. Keep each open in different browser windows so that you can compare and contrast as you do your work.
Before you think you got the best price deal on that hotel, look into whether there are resort fees that you'll be charged. These fees can be up to $25 or more a night. Over a week, that's a lot of cash that you weren't expecting to pay. Be sure you know what to expect.
Look around for hotels that are having grand openings. These grand openings often have big savings on hotel rooms. In fact, the savings can be very significant - 20% and often more. It's a great way to get a top notch hotel stay and then pass on the word to others about the stay!
As you know, your hotel choice is an important part of making any trip a success. Whether it is business or pleasure, you want to be comfortable and secure. So use the information from the article above to assist you in booking the right hotel. Then you can relax in style without breaking your budget.

Recently, I visited Sydney for the first time. Having finally accomplished my goal of visiting Australia's pseudo capital city and home of P. Sherman, I was greeted, not with the sunny blue skies from the movies, but with grey, unaccommodating cloud filled rainy skies. Which begs the question, what is there to do in Sydney when it's bucketing down with rain? I only started searching the internet for things to do at the end of my trip, and I was overwhelmed by the amount of stuff. So I've asked my Sydney know it all friends to help me out and sort out the best of the bunch. I'm going to give you what I wish I'd had, a list of stuff you can do as a tourist when sunny Sydney isn't so sunny:
1. Tour the Opera House
Sure, every man and his dog has seen it from the outside, but when it's pouring with rain and the skies are as grey as a British summer, the inside is where the magic happens. The Opera House provides a bunch of guided tours through The House, under the sails and backstage. Different tours are available in different languages, whilst some are English only, others are available in Spanish, French, German, Japanese and more. Book here.
2. Gelato Messina
Forget The Rocks, the real place to go if you want to get busy with your taste buds is this delightful ice cream bar in Surry Hills. The flavours are PHE-NOM-EN-AL and they're open late! But they do have a $10 minimum for using your card so if you're buying for one either make some friends or bring some cash with you.
3. Visit the Queen Victoria Building.
The Queen Victoria Building is a beautiful piece of architecture, especially from the inside. Red carpet lines the hardwood floors, iron-bordered glass ceilings and four floors of retail and food, it's a spot more than worth a visit.
4. Wine and dine
I don't know about you, but I don't particularly need an excuse to get out and eat. But if you do, a rainy day is a good one. Sydney is filled with some of the best culinary experiences Australia has to offer. One of which is none other than Mrs G's. This innocuous looking restaurant located in Potts Point offers exceptional views over the city, with the Harbour Bridge and Opera House in full view. And, of course, the food is delicious, you must try the cheeseburger spring rolls (they're as good as they sound, really) and the service excellent.
5. Get to the silver screen
Commercial cinemas have become the experience the majority of us are familiar with. Line up at the counter, get your tickets and popcorn, get in, get out. BUT, Sydney has a wealth of independent cinemas scattered across the city which aim to bring something special back to the cinema experience. From bars to restaurants that are sitting right there on the same building, staffed by hipsters that surely commute daily from Melbourne. One of the classics is The Randwick Ritz, the only original Art Deco cinema in Sydney and one of the few family owned ones. They screen current release Arthouse films at affordable prices ($13 per ticket). Check out their session times here.
6. Nerd out
Okay. I know this may not be very high on the priority list of the average tourist, but I used to be a massive Microsoft fan, and you can't deny they've got some awesome technology coming out. One of these awesome new pieces of tech is the Hololens, an augmented reality headset that overlays what every you want over your actual life. Sydney is home to the only Microsoft Store in Australia, where they do live demos of the Hololens, so if you're around and need to go inside, why not put on the Hololens and see something you've never seen before?
7. Escape the room
Paniq Room is one of Sydney's best room escape locations. If you're unfamiliar with the room escape concept, it basically involves you getting put into a room for an hour with a bunch of clues which you have to descipher in order to eventually find a key and escape the room before the time is up. Paniq Room is open 10:00am to 10:20pm Thursday – Sunday and you can book a session here.

There was much national pride surrounding Monday's events as Americans marveled at what progress has been from just 50 years ago that a black man could be elected president not just once, on some sort of lark, but twice and by a larger margin than enjoyed by either Dwight Eisenhower or G.W Bush in their respective reelections.
It all seems so surreal, the long national nightmare has ended; racial equality has been achieved. The American dream has been fulfilled. People are celebrating in the streets.
Lincoln and King must be looking down from heaven, smiling upon it all. Jesus, too. And George Burns, as God. All have to be pleased as America shines bright, a city upon a hill, a beacon of equality to all the world. A black man as president. King's Dream is alive.
Some fringe thinkers might not see it that way though, the malcontents. So insecure with their own lives they will seek to dismiss the good works of others, always looking for a fault. They'll complain about any perceived injustice, regardless of context.
These cynical swine would have you believe the president's use of MLK's bible was a a cheap ploy to get Americans to sympathize with the president. They'd tell you that by associating Obama with a such an iconic civil rights figure–and on such a grand stage–that his staff is trying to get him a free pass for whatever unconscionable giveaways that may occur during his next four years. Those who would say such things are fools.
It is this type of person that would seek to dismiss the similarities between the two men by pointing to the President's use of drone strikes as proof of his violent foreign policies, the type of policies Martin Luther King argued very much against during his protests of the Vietnam War.
These detractors like to claim to a conflict of interest is created when the president's chiefs of staff come from, and return to high-raking positions in the financial sector. As if it is having solid relations with Wall Street that prevents Washington charging those responsible for the 2008 market crash, and not part of a reasonable progressive policy to keep America from being mired in the past, to her keep moving forward and to focus on restoring her economy.
These people do not appreciate the nuance and subtleties of that go into crafting political policy. There is no understanding of how heavy such decisions weigh on the president's mind. These purists cannot fathom how a good man can commit such "evil" acts. They degrade Barrack Obama for doing a tough job. Such is the life of the American president.
For those not so naive to think in absolutes, there exists an acknowledgment of the burdens of such responsibility. There is acknowledgment that no easy answers exist. A president is presented with difficult decisions when under assault from a faceless evil. Dr. King would understand this, he was a reasonable man.
As a student of history Barrack Obama is very much familiar with the concepts of passive resistance and their use against unjust systems. At the acceptance speech for his Nobel Peace Prize the president stated, "I know there's nothing weak – nothing passive – nothing naïve – in the creed and lives of Gandhi and King." He president is correct in this statement, and Gandhi and King are examples of the quiet strength needed to be committed to non-violence.
America's role as sole world super power does not often make a strict adherence to pacifism a tenable approach to foreign policy. A stance of non-violence would only show weakness to our enemies. Attempting engage in negotiations with these terrorist leaders would only signal that their tactics work, and further embolden them.
There are times when military action is the only option not just for the safety of America, but for the safety of the world. President Obama understood this when, accepting his Nobel, he said,
"But as a head of state sworn to protect and defend my nation, I cannot be guided by (Gandhi and King's) examples alone. I face the world as it is, and cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the American people. For make no mistake: Evil does exist in the world"Evil exists, and if allowed to fester it will spread like an infection. Drone strikes are the white blood cells keeping the infection in check.
President Obama does not want to order unmanned drones strikes. He's not happy per se that sixteen year old American citizen Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was vaporized by an American Hellfire missile. He's certainly saddened that he's had to designate all military aged men within a vaguely defined theater of conflict as "militants". He gets just plain bummed when he thinks of the unprecedented number of people he has had to charge under the Espionage Act. But again, these are the tough decisions a president must make to keep his country safe. Dr. King would understand this, he was a reasonable man.
The Honorable Reverend would understand how far this country has come on a myriad of social issues. I'm sure he would be thrilled at the freedom homosexuals are allowed as they can openly serve in the military. Dr. King would see a latina Supreme Court Justice and his heart would swell with pride. He would be excited about Obama's brave "evolution" on gay marriage. No doubt he could appreciate the wisdom in leaving such a volatile matter to be decided by the states.
As a social crusader, The Good Doctor might be a little disappointed that people of color lost a historic amount of household wealth in the 2008 crash, and probably a little disappointed again when he sees the increase of the the already large wealth gap between minorities and whites. But Obama shouldn't feel too bad, you can't win 'em all. And he would have totally had that one in the bag as well, if wasn't for those meddling Republicans .
Martin Luther King was a wise and understanding man. He felt that only means of affecting real change was via non-violent resistance. He felt the use of violence to resolve conflicts only led to more violence, on this point he was unequivocal. But surely he could recognize the position President Obama finds himself in. Surely he could acknowledge the truth that, as a world leader, sometimes you just have to undertake the solemn task of picking a name from the disposition matrix, and then giving the order to blow the evil bastard to hell. Peace is not an option because violence is all those savages understand. That's just a sad fact of the world. Dr. King would understand this, he was a reasonable man.
On the dawn of Barrack Obama's second term as president let us not gripe and complain about all the allegedly terrible acts our government has performed. Instead let us look forward, and be glad that we have a president who is a living testament to Martin Luther King's dream of racial equality. Let us be happy that the use of drone strikes are authorized by a man who holds in such high regard the works and words of King and Gandhi.
That America has given such unprecedented executive power to a mindful constitutional scholar, and not some bloodthirsty nut like Mitt Romney, I believe is reason enough for Dr. King to be proud of this nation. As an African American male hailing from a low-income background, Barrack Obama's rise to the presidency stands as proof against the rumors surrounding the death of the American dream. The first black president was sworn in using Martin Luther King's Bible. The American dream is very much alive. Its finger rests softly on the trigger. Heavy is the head...
