Vision for a smarter airport
Abu Dhabi Airports Company has created a highly integrated smart concept for its new Midfield Terminal Complex, which aims to build the world's first 'Smarter Airport'
An airport is often described as being something like a city in microcosm — an airport includes almost all of the elements that go into a city such as transport, administration, security, retail, logistics, utilities and accommodation — but on a smaller scale. And as cities become smarter, so airports are also looking to introduce more connected smart systems to improve many different elements of their operations.
For Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC), which is responsible for the Midfield Terminal project to deliver a new airport for the city by the end of 2017, creating the airport of the future is not so much about replicating a city in microcosm, as it is an opportunity to apply smart principles and technologies, integrated across every aspect of the facility, creating a world-first 'Smarter Airport'.
The Midfield Terminal Complex (MTC) is being developed to cater for expanded tourism and business traffic to Abu Dhabi, in line with its Vision 2030 plan. Situated between the two existing runways of Abu Dhabi International Airport, the $5bn MTC includes a central Main Terminal Building (MTB) with multiple support buildings and other infrastructure such as car parking, roads, security, cargo facilities; stands for up to 65 aircraft, and even an 8,400sqm indoor park.
The MTB itself is a major feat of engineering, with a 2.7km long steel structure, and 700,000sqm of internal space, making it the largest building in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The terminal is intended to be able to cater for 30 million passengers per year, and up to 8,500 passengers — and 19,000 pieces of luggage — per hour.
As a whole, the MTC will be a key facility for the development of Abu Dhabi. Dr Saif Al Ketbi, acting CIO of Abu Dhabi Airports Company, said that as such, ADAC is seeking to utilise as many new technologies as possible to create the best possible facility when it becomes fully operational by 2020, and to deliver all of these technologies as a single integrated and connected whole.
"The airport is the entry to any capital, so Abu Dhabi Airport will be the gateway to the capital and the Emirates," he said. "When we look end-to-end across the project, you find it contains every single entity across Abu Dhabi. We have the government — we have immigration, we have the police, we have customs; from the business, we have retail, we have our shopping mall, travel agents, hotels — really, I am building a city, it is a mini-city.
"We have smart buildings, retail, smart performance, connectivity, control, airport managed services and all the stakeholders around it. We have combined everything together to build the first Smarter Airport design, it is the only one in the world," he added.
Airports already rely on many different platforms for operations, but the aim for the MTC is to integrate all of them together into a Smarter Airport, Dr Al Ketbi explained. ADAC selected IBM as the main partner to develop the concept, as the company already had a lot of experience with airports, but the MTC project is the first time that the different elements have been put together as one whole, from end-to-end.
The concept of a Smarter Airport has been developed by ADAC and IBM, in part based on a roadmap to plot the traveller's whole experience, from ticket booking, to arriving at the airport, check-in through to landing, baggage claim, immigration and beyond. The project aims to utilise the latest smart solutions in all areas, and for all points of that experience to be connected to or be part of the smarter airport.
A set of principles have been created for the concept to describe how the airport serves all of its customers and the wider community and economic activity. The Smarter Airport enables growth and change through interconnected systems; promotes collaboration in real time with all stakeholders; is focused on creating a predictable and seamless end-to-end passenger experience; enables intelligent asset management; promotes smart energy management and green operations and increases non-aviation revenue through retail and marketing.
At the centre of the enterprise architecture for the Smarter Airport, is a single Integration and Management Platform. This platform has been designed by ADAC and IBM as the heart of the smart airport, and the main point of integration for many different systems. Airport assets and associated systems such as industrial SCADA controls, building management systems, and IT infrastructure all feed into an infrastructure integration bus.
On top of that is an enterprise service bus, which creates the interface for web services and connects airport and stakeholder IT systems — airport operations, management, safety and security, air traffic control, meteorology and so on. Other systems catering to passengers such as mobile apps, experience management, travel and transport controls, parking management, official solutions such as customs and immigration, along with retail and commerce systems for the airport will also feed into this central bus.

IMF Identifies ASEAN Economic Challenges
April 27, 2010 International Tax Cooperation, Taxation in China, Taxation in Singapore, Taxation in Thailand, Taxation in Vietnam
In a recent speech given by the Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to the Finance Ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the key economic and fiscal issues, that the IMF perceives as currently facing ASEAN nations, were revealed.
On April 26th the IMF published a previously unreleased transcript of a speech given by Naoyuki Shinohara, Deputy Managing Director of the IMF, at the 14th ASEAN Finance Ministers' Meeting, held on April 8th 2010 in Nha Trang, Vietnam. The speech focused on the key economic challenges the IMF perceives as facing ASEAN member nations. According to the Deputy Managing Director, to see strong economic growth, ASEAN members must overcome the fragile external economic environment, the potential for surges of inward capital flows, and the need to expand private domestic demand over the medium term.
Naoyuki Shinohara said that Asian nations are showing greater levels of economic recovery and fiscal stability, when compared to advanced economies. Cumulatively, the ASEAN members are projected to increase economic output by 5.5 percent over the 2010 year. Despite the positive outlook, ASEAN economies are highly reliant on external economic factors. The IMF does not expect credit conditions across the US and the Euro-Zone to normalize until 2011, and the Deputy Managing Director warned that ASEAN members need to balance this factor into the timing of their 2009 stimulus package withdrawal policies. He advised that policymakers should consider taking precautions to allow for agility in any present decisions, to cope with unforeseen economic shifts.
According to Naoyuki Shinohara, ASEAN economies face the unique challenge of possible spikes in foreign capital inflows. As the international economy recovers, it is conceivable that ASEAN nations will see higher than expected investment. In preparation for such eventualities, policymakers have been advised to tighten fiscal regulations, allow for greater flexibility in exchange rate in decision making, create macro- and micro-level policies to handle the spikes, and begin accumulating fiscal reserve to use as a safe-guard.
A warning was given to ASEAN Governments that pre-crisis fiscal policies favoring expansion of exports over the growth of local private consumer demand need to be addressed. The Director gave broad directives for ASEAN economies to instate reforms to improve private investment, raise productivity in services, and improve the overall private sector consumer demand.

Home sweet home. There's nothing more comfortable than home. Nevertheless the comfort of the house is also with regards to the design and the decoration of the house itself. A great design is likely to make your home to look more comfortable. It makes your home feels as though the real home, a destination for a take a rest. Would you ever think to mix the comfort of the house with the nature? For probably the most people, nature is much like the origin of comfort. This place is relaxing. So once you adopt this concept into your home, imaginable how comfortable your home will be. In the event that you interested, you can see Standing Lamps For Living Room.
Natural home design may be the smart idea to bring the natural environment into the home. This is the reason the style looks dominated by the touch or the natural style. The natural home design can also be adopted with another home design. Like, modern natural home design. This is a good concept that combined the simplicity and the nature style. It seems minimalist and modern. In another side, it seems comfortable, just as the comfort of the nature itself.
All of the the natural home design may be identified easily. It could be seen from the colour composition and the decoration style. On the colour, the domination of the natural colors including the brown color and the green color since the home. These colors may be adopted to the inside or the exterior. But there's a very important factor to note. These colors is not only put on the wall or the floor. The role of the furniture is also important. This is the reason the colour of the furniture also becoming the part of the natural home design itself.
Natural home design adopts the natural look. The touch of the nature including the leaves or the trees will strengthen the impression of the decoration. This is the reason you can include a few plans into the Standing Lamps For Living Room.

Saints Demolish The Tigers
Last years Minor Premiers and losing Grand Finalists, Castleford Tigers, started their 2018 campaign with expectations of another barnstorming season as they travelled to a tough Totally Wicked Stadium to take on St Helens.
The last time that the sides met there was just a golden point victory between them as the Tigers miraculously won the game in added time, after being down and out, to make it into the Grand Final.
These sides were tipped as the two favourites to finish the season in top spot and to lift the silverware at Old Trafford in October. Nothing would be decided tonight but it would give us an indication of how the two sides may fare in the season ahead.
The Tigers were looking for their first league victory in St Helens since 1992, would this be their year to break the hoodoo?
Jonny Lomax, Mark Percival and Ben Barber combined for the Saints full-back to finish a seventy metre passing move to dive over by the left corner flag for the Saints opener after just four minutes. Danny Richardson kicked the extras brilliantly from the touchline.
The second came just two minutes later when they kept the ball alive deep inside the Tigers ten after another Barba break, allowing James Roby to find Zeb Taia who walked through a massive gap to score. Richardson failed to add the conversion leaving the Saints 10-0 ahead. Saints had the dream start.
The Tigers stemmed the tide until the twenty-third minute when Alex Walmsley knocked back a Barba kick through allowing Jonny Lomax to ground the ball while the defenders stood and watched. Richardson added the extras and the Tigers confidence laid in tatters.
A Saints forty-twenty was quickly followed by a penalty on the Tigers line and two plays in a delayed Barba pass put Percival over for Saints four of the night and the Rhinos were scoring their tries in pairs, separated by two minutes. Richardson kicked the two for a 22-0 lead which they defended until the interval.
Although Saints were the better side in the opening exchanges of the second half the Tigers protected their line until the fifty-fifth minute when Mark Percival crashed over the top of the Tigers tacklers after Saints returned a drop out. Richardson added the goal for 28-0 to put the game beyond the Tigers.
On fifty-eight Kyle Amor was sin-binned for a petulant knee in the tackle on Ben Roberts, reducing his side to twelve players for ten minutes. Within a minute of the penalty, Paul McShane took a James Green offload to go eight metres and drop over the line. Luke Gale added the conversion for 28-6.
Depite allowing the Tigers over the line the Saints dominated play and on sixty-six it was Ben Barba who burrowed over the line for his second of the night. Richardson kicked the extras for a twenty-eight point lead with ten minutes remaining.
Regan Grace went close on seventy-two but had a hand in touch in the act of scoring But four minutes from time Taia carved apart an exhausted Tigers defence to stroll over under the uprights. Richardson added the goal to bring up the Saints forty and see the Tigers fans praying for the full time hooter.
On seventy-nine a Ben Barba break down the wing allowed him to find Percival in support to go in for his hat-trick try to add insult to injury. Richardson added the extras as the final hooter sounded for a 46-6 final score.
This was a dominant performance from the Saints who brushed away the challenge of the much fancied Tigers with very few problems. It wasn't that Castleford were bad, but Saints were very good and didn't let the visitors gather any momentum or spend and quality time with the ball. There were many very positive signs for St Helens with Barba, Percival, Lomax and Richardson all impressive.
Daryl Powell will now know that his side are the ones to beat in 2018 and it could be a much tougher competition this year. A brilliant start for Saints and probably better than they could have hoped for.
Barba (2T), Makinson, Morgan, Percival (3T), Grace, Lomax (T), Richardson (7G), Amor (SB on 58), Roby, Thompson, Peyroux, Taia (2T), Wilkin

My Passionate Focus: I want to inspire, teach, mentor, coach and demonstrate to your Chief Sales Officers, your VPs of Sales, your Sales Directors your Sales Managers, your sales teams the unique and different and highly effective top line revenue growth strategies that I learned and executed in the TV Ad Sales Business. My CEOs hired me to protect and grow their top line revenue. My CEOs deemed my top line growth strategies to be exceptional, even award-winning in meeting their top line revenue growth expectations.
A major thank you goes out to each of my TV client CEOs, Presidents and Senior Managers for the extraordinary "professional growth" contribution they made to me while I was their Chief Sales Officer. I had the daunting responsibility to protect and grow their Top Line Revenue. They inspired my performance as their Chief Sales Officer. They were a powerful catalyst for the great revenue performance of my sales teams
My client superiors were, I believe, a very unique group of senior managers perhaps different than most. In their career climb to the C-suite level each had had extensive hands-on sales and sales management experience. Each had a highly developed sense of Strategic Intelligence. Each clearly saw and appreciated "the Big Picture" of their top line revenue. Each had a firm grasp of all the business variables that impacted their top line growth. Each had a working knowledge of how to effectively address each business variable to insure the protection and growth of their top line revenue.
In my day-to-day CSO operations my TV client senior managers were actually my powerful and demanding top line growth coaches. They were my powerful and demanding top line teachers and mentors. They guided me on my Strategic Intelligent journey of maximizing their top line revenue. And I am incredibly grateful to each and every one of them.
Perhaps a brief look at my highly competitive business environment and the Strategic Intelligent CEOs, Presidents and Senior Managers who fostered my Big Picture Top Line Business Wisdom will further amplify their contribution to me...NEXT

Stay with traditional nomadic families, share and learn about their special lifestyle
Discover a Different World
This special tour takes you to discover a different world, Bayan-Ulgii is the only Kazakh province in Mongolia. In about 1750 a large group of Kazakhs moved from Kazakhstan to China, then 1844 the Kazakh leaders, Kobesh and Jilhishi, lead 500 families from China to a new home in Western Mongolia. Living in isolation in the this remote part of the world, the Mongolian Kazakhs were, and are, the only ethnic Kazakhs who maintain their pure traditional culture and language.
Summer is a most busy time for nomadic people because they prepare all milk products for the long winter, including butter and a local type of dry cheese.
This tour is a unique chance to stay among traditional nomadic families, to share and to learn about their special lifestyle.

Kikimonkey over at Monkey See, Monkey Do recently posted about an Oprah show she'd been watching, where freeganism was highlighted. The post really grabbed my attention, not because I'm a fan of Oprah or intend to become a Freegan but because the philosophy behind the Freegan movement really made me sit and think.
It's not that I didn't already know that we're living in a society fuelled by materialism, greed and a never ending desire to impress our peers but Freegans are really doing what their heart tells them is right. They've completely jumped off of the consumer band-wagon to the point where even their food is obtained by rummaging through dumpsters.
Yes, I know that sounds pretty gross and it's not something I'd do but when you consider that about half of all food in the US is wasted, there's a lot to be reclaimed. And we're not talking slops, either. The situation here in the UK is no better.
They also believe that housing should be a right rather than a privilege, that all forms of transport should be eco friendly and that we should stop using animals as production "machines" – all of which I agree with.
I do think they take things a bit too far when they say that we should go back to the way we were intended to live – foraging for food, for example. It just isn't feasible for everybody to do that. If we all went dumpster diving, who'd produce the products in the first place when there would be nobody to sell them to? And foraging for natural food wouldn't work either; we've already destroyed too much of the planet's resources for that.
It's worth taking a look at their website though; it does highlight a lot of important issues that might get you thinking and the links section has some very interesting stuff on it. And even if what's there is information you already know, there's value in being reminded.

If you missed Microsoft's conference this past Monday, then you missed Frank West killing zombies while the audience was being drenched in artificial snow. That's right, Dead Rising is back and stars our favorite photographer/reporter with a much more charismatic personality than before. The trailer shows off the open world of Willamette, as well as the inside of a mall from the first game, that can be explored in order to wreak havoc and kill zombies for pleasure more than any other reason. The biggest announcement in the trailer doesn't come from the weapons or the combination of weapons that can be used, but the flurry of new ways to destroy your enemies. Frank will be utilizing three different categories of weapons that can be switched through three of the face buttons on the controller.
These are ranged, melee, and throwing weapons. The transformative weapons and now armor have also been upgraded in reference to previous games and include things like a mech suit that has a heavier attack and increased strength. I added the increased strength because the suit can do things like rip parking meters out of a concrete floor and use the concrete as a weapon. The entirety of the trailer seemed very comical as Frank took to Twitter to post his chaotic encounter with the zombies and as well as taking selfies whenever he can.
While we aren't sure how this game will tie into the Dead Rising story, if there really is one, we do know that it will live up to the B movie legacy that it's always had. If not an Evil Dead legacy, then more of a Shaun of the Dead type legacy. The only hope that we have is that the character wasn't returned to give fans the same thing that the first game offered but with extra areas to explore. But, we will just have to wait and see when it does come out on Xbox One.

Quick Reference
(c.21st century–c.16th century bc)
The first dynasty to rule in China, according to tradition. It was reputedly founded by Yu the Great, a model ruler, who is said to have attempted to control flooding by irrigation schemes. As yet no evidence authenticates the Xia, but it is possible such evidence will be found, as the existence of China's second dynasty, the Shang, was not verified until the 1920s.

Your shopping cart is empty.
Your shopping cart is empty.
Landscape photography as we see it is dynamic rather than "scenic." Our eyes are attracted by elements of design, whether they're laid down as colors or patterns or repetitive geometries or monochromatic monoliths, and what we seek to show with our work is that these elements of design are, for the most part, all about energy. The earth and its various parts large and small are fluid rather than static, in flux rather than fixed. We believe that geology is a moving experience. That's not an ironic statement; it's literal.
We're interested in structures more than sunsets, although like everyone else, we love sunsets. For twenty years or so, Richard spent much of his time in the field with a portrait lens, usually a Nikon 105mm, stalking patterns and designs. Lois's favorite lens was Nikon's Micro-Nikkor for super close-up work. But then came digital days and a variety of prime and zoom lenses: more fun on our annual trips south to Arizona and north to Alberta.
Western landscapes are about space, often vast tracts of land empty of the works of man, and we've thought it important to convey a sense of what vastness might feel like to those who've never had the experience of open, "empty", and supremely silent. On our website we are showcasing some of our ABSTRACTS. You might recognize a location or two but we hope the images take your mind to other places as well -the soft curves of sand, stark desert varnish, snow sculptures, or rock formations - all can lead you to other thoughts and images.
Go with them! Float freely!

The following technique is courtesy of Sandra Betzina.
- Pocket piece = lining fabric. Pocket piece size = from side seam, 3/4 or so along the waist and down twice as far as you want the finished pocket to be (or cut on fold at bottom). At one end, on the back of the pocket piece, overlay a piece of fashion fabric about 4" deep and the width of the bottom of the pocket piece, over the lower end of the pocket piece and zig zag into place along the long edge. This will turn through the 'window' and face the pocket opening.
- Lay pocket piece over garment with back of pocket piece/overlay facing the RS of the garment, matching waist and side seams. Draw the window onto the RS of the pocket piece using chalk and interface behind the window on the garment. Use a grid ruler for accuracy. The window is usually about 6" x 1" long.
- Sew along marked line, using small stitches before and after each corner. Cut midway between the stitching lines, forming a V before each corner and clipping right into each corner, making a nice, fat pie at each end. If fabric is ravelly, dot a spot of Fray Check at each corner.
- Turn fabric through. From RS, finger-press seams in place, slightly favouring the RS and then iron in place.
- On long edges of box, on WS, press Steam a Seam. Put the 2 interfaced welts - 8 x 4" - RS together and baste down the middle. Turn so that each welt is folded back on itself, with the basting in the middle, and press hard. Position the welts under the box, centred, and press lightly under a press cloth. Lift edge of one side of window and position a fabric loop or ribbon loop under the edge then press hard, with a cloth, from both sides. The Steam a Seam keeps the welts and the loop in place.
- Can topstitch around the edge of the window OR can sew invisibly - to do this, lay garment RS up and then fold fashion fabric ONLY back to reveal the stitching line on the interfacing. Sew along the stitchin line, pivoting at the corners and keeping other layers OUT OF THE WAY! This will sew the button loop at the same time. Press.
- Remove basting line to open up the welts.
- Fold the pocket pouch up to the top, matching side and waist seams. Sew the free inside edges together and finish. Machine-baste along the waist edge. Press over a ham to get the body curve, not caring one whit if the side seams are out of whack. Machine baste the side seam.
- Sew button on seam (for better anchoring).

Dacre, you may recall, took the quirky Martin Luther King bio-drama The Mountaintop from the fringe to Olivier-winning success in the West End, and here he proves his mettle at Shakespeare. This is one of the most lucid – and ludic – approaches to the play I've seen, with almost every scene yielding some valuable textual revelation or delightful surprise. Making an aesthetic virtue of a practical necessity, Dacre and designer Hannah Clark deposit a large wooden container centre-stage, allowing the pared-down, hard-working cast of eight – who earn their keep with much on-the-fly musicianship – their bustling entrances and exits via ladders, side-doors and traps. The Forest of Arden is a painted bucolic vista on the front of the oblong box.
In a more obviously original stroke, the action is filtered through a late-Victorian lens, with neat nods to the transformation wrought by early photography, so that Deirdre Mullins's Rosalind and Beth Park's Celia aren't just fleeing an oppressive, unjust court, they're escaping industrial capitalism and all the strictures on their sex denoted by long, constraining dresses. Adding to the role-reversing subversion and romantic confusion, the melancholy Jaques has been gender-switched into a proto-Suffragette – Emma Pallant makes her a winning mixture of intelligence, cynicism and diffidence.
Although I missed the gangly eccentricity of Jo Herbert – this show's Rosalind last year – Mullins makes sprightly work of our heroine's journey from lonely defiance to requited devotion, at once liberated and frustrated by her testing guise as Ganymede. Will Featherstone's boyish, father-bereft Orlando – dubbed "Phoar-lando" after a full-on wrestling bout – also has the bounding energy and good looks to suggest he'll go far. The night I went, the audience were as smitten with him as she is. When he stuffed his mouth with one of his awful love poems lest it got read aloud, chewed it then spat out the residue among the groundlings, it was almost seized on as a collector's item.
As you like it? My, how we loved it!

Freedom of Speech for Fascists?
What the article doesn't say, however, is that there are two very different bases for opposing public appearances by white supremacist and similar groups. One is dangerously wrong, the other, which Bray presents, makes much more sense.
First the wrong approach, that groups should not be permitted to express themselves in public if they cause emotional distress to me or other people I care about. You hear this one a lot: speech that I find demeaning is a form of violence, and there can't be freedom for it. There's no difference between saying something horrible to me and punching me in the face. No freedom for one, no freedom for the other.
This argument has its roots in a mindset that has become popular in much of the left, that the ultimate political goal is equal well-being for all, that well-being is essentially having a positive emotional state (or not being in a state of stress/despair/fear/etc.), and that actions should therefore be judged by the emotional response they engender, especially among marginalized groups. It's a deeply subjectivist conception of life and politics, one that puts feelings above "objective" conditions like economic status, access to social or institutional networks, risk of physical harm, or other measurable outcomes. In fact, the primacy of subjective feelings is often asserted by denying the very possibility of "objective" anything. (Objectivity is said to be a tool of knowledge/power to silence the oppressed.)
From a logical point of view, the identification of personal well-being with a series of transitory positive emotional states is indefensible. First, there's more to life than that. Second, and crucially, one's subjective emotions at one moment are weak predictors of future happiness; those much-derided objective conditions do a better job on that front. As a teacher, I sometimes engender frustration in students, temporarily lowering their emotional hedonometer. If I'm doing my job well, this is more than compensated by increased learning, which will be of more benefit down the road than an extra hour of emotional ease. Feelings matter, a lot, but not at the expense of everything else. And speech that causes negative feelings can't be evaluated just on that basis; you have to think about the other consequences, direct and indirect, of listening to it, allowing it but not listening, or not allowing it at all.
Politically, the ideology that subjective feelings are everything is catastrophic. It's a claim with a long history on the repressive right: if students don't recite the pledge of allegiance each morning at school my feelings are insulted, or if they burn a flag, or if professors denounce America, or if athletes take a knee. It's the same argument, just a different group's feelings being hurt. The only counterargument of the left is that some people's feelings (people of color, gender nonconforming, etc.) count more than others' feelings, but really, do you want to hang your politics on this?
At the deepest level, the struggle for social change butts up against the force of cognitive dissonance. People have made commitments to the existing order. They have dedicated their lives to getting a job and moving up, if they can. They or their parents or children have served in the military, exposing themselves to horrific risks of violence (and not just speech) with often horrific results. They have supported politicians hoping to get a better break on some government policy. Then a social change activist comes along and says, these commitments were wrong, or fruitless or not good enough. You should make different commitments, to a different economic or political system. Whatever else activists may say, they are asking the people they are talking with to absorb the psychic costs of seeing their past actions in a harsher light—to cope with cognitive dissonance. In the extreme case, imagine trying to convince the parent of someone who has died in a war of aggression that this death was in vain. It's not easy.
Serious activism can't elevate subjective feelings to an all-important position. You'd have to hang it up before you even get started. Activism always confronts denial, a defense mechanism of the emotions. It's based on a view of the world that there really are objective conditions that need to be changed, whether that makes you psychically comfortable or not.
But the second argument, the one that Bray seems to embrace, comes from a different place, the paradox of tolerance. If we want a free society, at some point we may have to restrict the freedom of those who want to get rid of it. Fascists, religious fanatics and other extreme authoritarians are what we have to worry about. Complete, unlimited freedom for these groups to organize and express themselves exposes the rest of us to a serious risk, one that has resulted in tyranny in countries that were once freer. This is Bray's point, and he has in mind the rise of fascism in Europe during the 1920s and 30s. Of course, since it's a paradox we're talking about here, it's important to keep both ends of it in mind: intolerance for the intolerant is also a form of intolerance. This should lead us to keep the "good" intolerance close to its necessary minimum.
And what is that? It's complicated. And people can disagree. Which specific speakers should not be given a public forum at universities? Which rallies should not be permitted? The answer is not none, and it's not "everyone who pisses me off". It depends on how we assess the risk to our future freedom if these events take place. The paradox of intolerance gives us a framework for talking about it rationally.
It also gives us a basis for discussing the role of direct action—what aware citizens ought to do when their institutional authorities fail to act. But that discussion is fundamentally political: what's right is what has the best chance of protecting and extending our freedom in light of its consequences. That's the context for thinking about direct action tactics.

As we approach Thanksgiving, how would a family deal with a situation like this?
Take the example of: "Should Mom and Dad pay for 100% of a child's tuition or should they pay 100% minus the amount child could contribute by working full-time each summer?"
Mary, the oldest, worked summers at a law firm and contributed $3,000 each year to Private U where tuition was $30,000 per year.
Tom, the middle child, worked summers as a life guard and contributed nothing each year to State U where tuition was $15,000 per year.
Joe, a cousin who is not invited to Thanksgiving dinner, never went to college because coming out of high school he started a lawn care business which uses slave labor from the state prison to mow rich people's lawns.
If your family is like mine, you don't give a flying fuck about summer jobs paying for college because it doesn't matter either way and you argue about what sort of monsters don't care about the 4th, 5th, 6th, 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments!

Take a look at Masha Gessen's recent essay about this in the context of the Arendt Center's choice to bring an AfD ideologue to their conference. There is nothing to gain and everything to lose.

Unknown: I would distinguish between two different questions: (1) Should X be allowed to give a speech or hold a rally at our institution? And (2) Should X be invited to give a speech as part of a conference/speaker series, etc.? The first is about "freedom of speech"; the second is about what constitutes socially beneficial speech. Obviously (2) is a lot more restrictive than (1). I wouldn't invite an AfD ideologue to any program I was a part of, and I'd protest such an invitation from any group I participated in, but would I advocate that AfD be denied any public platform? No. Incidentally, this is an excellent test case, since Germany *does* have stringent policies that deny public speech to groups that want to resurrect the Third Reich, but it does not (in general) inhibit the speech of AfD. You can argue about the precise boundaries, but I think Germany is generally right in this.

I basically agree with your post, but it is indeed a very hard and fine line between what is to be tolerated and what is not to be. Those who want to go around banning everything in sight must be blocked, and banning almost anything opens the door to that slipper slope, if I am not badly mixing metaphors here. I do not have the ready answer, although someone who is out to instigate violence with their appearance on a campus or public place would look to be definitely over the line and needing to be blocked.
BTW, that applies to those opposing a speaker as well, such as the jerks at Middlebury who actually injured the faculty member hosting Murray, even though that faculty member reportedly disagrees with Murray. There is an egregious case for sure.

Just to be as clear as possible, Bark, I'm not promoting any particular dividing line. My argument is about the acceptable reasons for limiting speech. Emotional cost on the part of listeners is not one of them.

So Peter, then what prey tell, are the "acceptable" reasons for limiting free speech?
I ask, because if emotional fears, discomfort of well-being, etc. aren't acceptable then does this mean emotional reasons that elevate peoples feelings of greater security and comfort and "rights" are acceptable? You argue that negative emotions aren't acceptable reasons but then you fail to say positive emotions should be cast in the same light.
This implies you have a particular and specific foundation for your own determinations of what constitutes positive and negative emotional feelings in people... and in particular which specific people. But since you are not "all people" you have chosen one view of that which only applies to "some people" and thus assumed that view applies to all people.
Or do you mean all subjective reasons (positive and negative emotions) should be restricted, leaving only objective, logically rational reasons to define "acceptable" speech?
And if the latter is what you meant, then who decides that which is purely objective, logically rational reasons for protected or restricted speech and how do they enforce it?,

In response to @unknown you stated:
" (1) Should X be allowed to give a speech or hold a rally at our institution? And (2) Should X be invited to give a speech as part of a conference/speaker series, etc.? The first is about "freedom of speech"; the second is about what constitutes socially beneficial speech."
Who get's to define and how does it get defined that which "constitutes socially beneficial" speech or otherwise?
Socially beneficial has meaning only by somebody or some group pre-defining what socially beneficial means and clearly as time and history have shown and continue to show in the present, there's a huge range of that which means socially beneficial.
It depends entirely on for whom beneficial applies.. e.g. their social group or definition of what constitutes a society they prefer.
You assiduously and intentionally avoid the central issue entirely.

Longtooth: In response to your first point -- what about positive emotions? -- I don't get it. Positive emotions experienced by listeners are neither a reason for prohibiting speech or permitting (much less requiring) it. Maybe I misunderstand.
Regarding your second, well of course. I am not trying to resolve freedom of speech issues in some determinative way. As soon as you move away from absolutism (no restriction at all), you face the question of who decides, what information they draw on, how they interpret/balance/etc. I don't have answers. All I am trying to do is identify an appropriate discourse or frame for this question. This is because much of the left appears by my reckoning to have adopted a really inappropriate one -- whether the speech in question causes emotional upset to a particular set of people. But I was also heartened by the effort by Bray (and others of course) to steer the question in a better direction.
- November 12, 2017 at 10:02 PM
- Longtooth said...
My point about positive emotions should have been more than obvious but to explain:
What appears to be a negative emotion experienced by one is simultaneously a positive emotion experienced by another. It's always two sided. You argue that liberals are using the excuse that some speech hurts (creates negative emotions) and thus they argue it should be restricted on grounds you disagree with.
I simply point out that if you disagree with those reasons (using negative emotions created in some) as liberals' reasoning to restrict some speech, then because that same speech creates positive emotions in others, then why aren't you equally opposed to that as well?
You have apparently chosen sides and thus are not using unbiased rational reasoning yourself.
To be pedantic, you can't rationally simultaneously argue against people using negative emotions to restrict speech without also arguing against people using positive emotions to restrict speech (since what is positive to some is negative to others of course).
Hitler spoke very positively to the German Volk who were not Jewish, or mixed race, or gypsies. His speeches were highly acclaimed at the time by the audiences to who directed and who were in attendance or who voluntarily tuned their radio's to his recorded or live speeches.
That is speech that creates positive emotions but only in those to whom the speech is intended to create positive emotions. Simultaneously they created negative emotions in others. You argue that those who want to restrict speech that creates negative emotions have no sound basis for restricting such speech, If they have no sound basis for restricting negative emotions speech then you are also arguing that there is also no sound foundation for restricting speech which creates positive emotions in others.
Stated simply --- if your speech creates positive emotions in some it has no more foundation for being restricted than negative emotions has as a basis for restricting speech. Thus no speech should be restricted at all for any reasons (politically speaking) due to the emotions such speech creates.
Which is why I asked what then is a justified reason for restricting speech if emotions are not justified as a basis? That is the question I'm waiting to hear you answer.

Oh look, isn't it cute when a Commie claims to be fighting for freedom.
Gotta love the euphemism - "direct action" instead of "beating up our enemies".
- November 13, 2017 at 6:03 AM
- firstname.lastname@example.com said...
I shall repeat my earlier point that if a speech is designed to instigate violence (although not violence on the part of those trying to shut it down), then that is grounds for restricting it. This looks to me to fit the classic exception to free speech of somebody shouting "fire" in a crowded theater.
- November 13, 2017 at 3:23 PM
- Longtooth said...
As you well know "designed to instigate violence" depends entirely on what "designed to" is interpreted to mean and that is only determinable after the fact so speech is allowed until it is deemed to have been (past tense) designed to instigate violence.
As you also well know instigating violence is not necessarily at all done by a single or even multiple speeches... the promotion of propaganda and emotions which over time are used to justify the use of not just violence, but of coercive subjugation is just as much a part of the use of free speech as directly advocating violence.
You don't have to advocate violence to create it.. you just have to create an emotional state which eventually induces violence. You are fully aware of this though, so you're arguing for maintaining the status quo laws regards free speech.

We found Michael Kirby to be very professional and extremely meticulous while preforming the home inspection. He uncovered and discovered many issues that affected our decision in purchasing the home. We highly recommend Michael and feel he provided vital data in a very timely manner. His report was extremely visual and accompanying information provided in a concise narrative. Thanks for your fantastic report and tremendous effort .
I was pleased to see that Michael showed up early for the inspection and was waiting for us to arrive. He was very professional to deal with and went right away to perform the inspection on the house. He was extremely informative as he proceeded to go thru the house as to what he was seeing and wanted to convey that to us. I did not feel in any way that Michael was in a rush to finish and move on to another job. He was always willing to put whatever time was required to walk thru what he was inspecting and the results. Michael had promised a written report of his inspection the following day. I received a detailed report early the next day. It was easy to follow and had many pictures showing areas of concern and also of other areas such as the attic so you could clearly see that he was indeed what he was seeing without having to go into these difficult access areas. I would gladly recommend Michael to anyone requiring a home inspection. I believe you will find him a great asset.

DVDFab Blu-ray Copy for Mac
It is very convenient to use and the speed is really fast!
I have been a user of dvdfab for five months. I bought the dvdfab bluray copy for mac five months ago. During this period, I made many collections backup for my friends. They are very grateful to me. And actulally the software didn't take much time as its copying speed is really great!
The best blu-ray copy software
About 8 months ago I started using DVDFab. This is the best blu-ray copy program I've ever seen. There's no better program than this one. If you are looking for blu-ray and dvd related programs that can copy and backup blu-ray to BD-R, DVDR or hard drive. Then give it a try and I bet you will like it.
I have been using this Software for about 3 Months or so now & all I can say is WOW! The ability to burn Bu-Ray Movies to Disc with this Software is Great! I also bought the Blu-Ray Ripper Software from DVD Fabb & it is Amazing as well (although it takes like 2 1/2 to 3+ hrs to convert a Blu-Ray Disc to iPad Format) however the quality is Great once converted. I usually don't spend money on Software like this, but I have to say that I wanted some GOOD Software to Burn Blu-Ray Movies to Disc & Convert Blu-Ray Movies to GOOD format for my iPad & gave DVD Fabb a try & I am not disappointed with the results either way! I have to give only 4 Stars to this Software because the time it takes to convert a Blu-Ray Movie to iPad Specs is disappointing (I know that is a lot of info to convert, but 3+ hrs for each Blu-Ray come on).

I was introduced to the restaurant earlier this year on my birthday.
My friend and I were greeted with friendly faces at the door. We were then led to our booth and our drink orders were quickly filled.
A bucket of tasty fresh peanuts are provided to patrons for their eating
You have the option of disposing of the shells on the floor if you so desire which I enjoyed doing.
For the entree I selected a steak and macaroni and cheese. I also ordered some Roadies to go.
The waitress was great. After serving the steak, she asked that I cut into it to make sure it was cooked to my desired taste.
The steak ...
The Roadies which are mini burgers were beyond good.
Since my initial visit, I have returned a handful of times. Each time the service has been the same, great.
Other menu items that I have tried include, the cinnamon apples, which I rate as great, loaded baked
In summary, the restaurant features great customer service at the door, after your seated and when your ready to pay.
My one trip to the restroom revealed a clean facility.
So if there is a Logan's Roadhouse near you I encourage you to give it a try and enjoy throwing the peanut shells on the floor.

Learn About a Career with the U.S. Coast Guard
There are a lot of options available for people interested in law enforcement careers with the U.S. Military. Besides the four primary war-fighting branches, one branch offers a unique merging of law enforcement and national defense: careers with the United States Coast Guard.
Whatever your interests in criminology or criminal justice, the Coast Guard literally has it all. From immigration enforcement to drug interdiction and everything in between, members of the U.S. Coast Guard protect and patrol the shores of the United States, enforcing federal laws and maritime law. They also serve as the preeminent marine search and rescue providers, as well as maintain war-fighting capabilities in support of the United States Navy.
A Brief History of the U.S. Coast Guard
The coast guard traces its roots to 1790 with the creation of a system of cutters within the Department of the Treasury, making it one of the oldest law enforcement organizations in the United States. The agency was tasked with enforcing tariffs and laws pertaining to trade.
Soon after its creation the service - which came to first be called the Revenue Cutters, then "system of cutters" and eventually the Revenue Cutter Service - was granted the authority to board all U.S. ships within 4 miles of shore and all foreign vessels within U.S. waters.
In 1915, the Revenue Cutter Service merged with the U.S. Life-Saving Service, which included a system of safeguards to aid sailors in the event of a shipwreck. The new service was named the United States Coast Guard and has taken a unique place among both federal law enforcement agencies and the armed forces.
From its inception, the Coast Guard was an agent of the Treasury, until it was transferred to the newly created Department of Homeland Security after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Since then, the guard has continued its dual role of enforcing the law and defending the nation, patrolling the shores and inland waterways of the U.S. and providing wartime support to the U.S. Navy overseas.
What the U.S. Coast Guard Does
Originally given the task of enforcing trade laws and tariffs, the Coast Guard's role has expanded over its more than two centuries of existence. When it was transferred to the Department of Homeland Security, the guard was entrusted with 11 specific and unique missions:
- Security of coasts, ports, and waterways
- Drug Interdiction
- Providing and maintaining navigational aid and assistance to vessels
- Search and rescue functions
- Enforcing laws related to the protection of the fishing industry
- Maintaining readiness for national defense
- Immigration enforcement
- Environmental protection
- Ice patrol and ice breaking
- Other marine law enforcement operations
Though not part of the Department of Defense, members of the Coast Guard serve both as law enforcement agents and members of the military. The Coast Guard is - by federal law - a branch of the five armed forces, predating the U.S. Air Force and even by some reckonings the Navy.
The Opportunities Available in the U.S. Coast Guard
By serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, you can get lots of experience and opportunities if you are looking for a job in criminology or criminal justice. As a law enforcement entity, the Coast Guard is a great stand alone career opportunity or Coast Guard service can give you valuable training and experience that can prepare you for other law enforcement careers.
Shipmates, as members of the Coast Guard are called, play a vital role in border protection, drug interdiction, and marine patrol functions. As the agency responsible for protecting the nation's coastal and inland waterways, the guard also serves as an important law enforcement partner in counterterrorism efforts.
Most people who consider criminal justice careers do so because they want to help others and make a difference. The coast guard can offer opportunities to do exactly that while providing excellent on the job training and experience.
How to Join the U.S. Coast Guard
If you're interested in joining the Coast Guard, you can enlist right out high school or apply to attend the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Academy graduates earn a bachelor's degree and an officer's commission, meaning higher pay and greater responsibility.
Enlisted shipmates attend an 8-week basic training program that pushes the limits, both physically and mentally. While the pay may be low at around $15,000 for the first year, health care is provided at no cost, as well as government housing where available.
Additional allowances are available for off-base housing and at-sea pay, and salary increases are earned for promotions and length of service
If the Coast Guard interests you but you're not ready to make a full-time commitment, the reserve program can let you earn extra income while you get valuable training and experience you'll need to find another criminology career, all the while allowing you to pursue other interests and career opportunities.
Serving in the Coast Guard Can Help You in Future Careers
All too often, job seekers get discouraged because they lack the experience they need for the career they really want. Finding experience for a great job can be tough, to say the least.
For people interested in working in law enforcement, though, the U.S. Coast Guard offers exactly the right experience, training, and discipline you need to find the job you want. In the meantime, you may just find that working as a Coast Guard shipmate is the perfect criminology career for you.

Please note: On 7 January 2015 the Australian Childcare Alliance Queensland (ACA Qld) was advised in writing by the Deputy Director-General of Early Childhood Education and Care that from 1 January 2015 the Kindergarten eligibility entry age for children will change to 4 years of age by 31 July from 4 years of age by 30 June.
Kindy A is a room in which the children experience warm and loving care between themselves and their teachers. We celebrate all cultural needs as we have a diverse group and we have an open communication belief with all families.
The room is set up according to the children's interests and is adjusted to suit any needs. Their ideas and input is always appreciated and included in the program. Although not all the children in Kindy A will be going to school, we run an approved Kindy program and work with local schools to ensure your child is profoundly ready to enter big school!
Kindy is more than numbers, colours and letters. It is social skills, independence and resilience. We believe in ourselves and each other. We support our friends and value diversity. Children learn through play and that is what we focus on in our room. Play is a child's way of learning and gaining understanding about their environment and health and wellbeing. With the assistance of specialist teachers the children are able to take part in a weekly Music lesson with Adele and Soccer lesson with Mitchell.
The classroom and outdoor areas are set up to extend on interests and foster creativity. You will often find us having a picnic with the other classes, doing a spot of gardening, dancing, creating stories and art and delighting in the art of lively discussion.
We would love for you to join our room!
Nadia and Angelica

Today's Advent Activity was to make gifts for our friends!
I had created our list of Advent Activities in October, and then as we unexpectedly moved at the start of November, we actually made these and handed them out before we left. So today we would have been making and handing these out, but here's a recap of what we did back in November!
I decided to make 6 mini chocolate jars for the girls in my small group. I love these little jars for only $1 at The Reject Shop and have been wondering what I could buy them and use them for!
M&M's are everyone's favourite, and they happened to be on special at Coles when I purchased them - I bought 4x of the medium sized packets for $2.12 each, in all different flavours. I would have loved to have bought just green and red (Christmas colours) but that would have proved a very costly exercise at the time!
I attached some gift tags that I already had from a previous Christmas, wrote a little message, and they were done!
I know I'd love to receive one, and the little jar can be used after too (e.g. for cotton buds in the bathroom). All up it cost under $15.
For the girl's daycare friends, we made up these cute little loot bags with a few goodies inside. The loot bags were $2 for 12 (we only used 6) from The Reject Shop.
Inside we put a Christmas stamp ($2 for 6) and 2 Santa chocolates ($2 for 16) both from The Reject Shop. Then we bought a packet of 11 Milky Bars & 11 Smarties boxes from Coles which were both on special for $2.50. Lots of chocolate yes, but this proved to be cheaper than little non-chocolate gifts, and plus, its Christmas!
I already had the little gift cards and ribbon, so we wrote a little message, and tied it up/attached it to the loot bags.
All up it cost $11 for 5 gifts! They looked really cute!

When going through Invoicing you have the ability to create your monthly batches in one clean sweep. This process gives a much easier way of connecting all invoices in a particular time period and having them organized in one place makes your invoice management less congested.
If you've gone through the process of editing and making the changes to your batch but forgot to finalize your invoices, then you can use the Finalize all feature to resolve this. Once you are on the batch page you will be able to choose all or multiple invoices to finalize or unfinalize at once.
