How to Help Hiring Managers Help Their New Employees Hit the Ground RunningMarch 16, 2018 9:00 am
Think about a time when you felt welcomed somewhere — in a store, at a job, at someone's home. What are the things that made you feel that way? Tami Nutt, manager of employee experience and engagement at Baylor University, says she and her team asked themselves this very question as they set about reimagining... View Article

Abstracts for Philosophy and the School: Challenges and Opportunities
Jana Mohr Lone:
Student Engagement, Social Inequalities, and the Importance of Institutional Humility
This talk focuses on three primary questions.
1. What are the limits and challenges of philosophy in schools and how do we develop transparency around our communications about this work?
2. Is it possible to engage all students in philosophical inquiry?
3. What is the potential for and the associated challenges of attempting to address social inequalities through philosophy in schools?
Philosophy in schools is still a relative rarity around the world. Because of this, most of those of us who work in the field end up engaged in "selling" the strengths of philosophy for young people. This is important, especially in a time in which the humanities are increasingly devalued, but can also lead to overstating the value of philosophy and hesitating to talk about some of the challenges we face. We can address this tendency in part by cultivating a kind of "institutional humility," which involves an awareness in the field of the possibility of institutional error and the limits around what philosophy can do, and a willingness to examine the field's difficulties.
One of our challenges, about which we do not, at least in my experience, talk openly very often, is that, despite our efforts, it is often difficult to involve all of the students in a class, as some or many are disinterested and disengaged. The talk explores this issue, offering some strategies to engage students who don't seem inclined to philosophy, including the use of silence in classrooms, and examines the role that social inequalities plays in classrooms and the ways philosophy in schools can address this.
Peter Worley:
How philosophy decreases confidence (and that that's a good thing!)
There is a worrying relativist/subjectivist trend in P4C practice, often expressed in phrases like, 'there's no right and wrong in philosophy' or 'no one's opinion can be wrong' and so on. These are what you might call unofficial doctrines that have emerged in the field rather than in the theory. Rather than being a cure for 'post-truth' problems it could be argued that P4C may well be - among other things in education today - contributing to the problem. In this talk I will offer a distinction, with regard to confidence-building, that will help clarify how philosophy (P4C/P4/wC/PhiE/CoPI and so on) can help tackle the 'post-truth' situation, but – crucially – only if it is taught to teachers well and understood properly. Where it is not, philosophy may well be doing more damage than good.
Layla Raïd:
Feminist care ethics and philosophy for children
Our aim is to explore possible implications of feminist care ethics (Nel Noddings, Carol Gilligan) for the practice of philosophy with children. First, as Noddings defends the idea that caring relations between teacher and pupil provide the best foundations for moral education at school, we will show what a care perspective could bring to philosophy with children. Second, the empirical material gathered by Gilligan on moral education can be reinterpreted as displaying children's philosophical capacities. Third, in the Birth of Pleasure, Gilligan develops a theory of how the "voice of care" develops in children of both sexes: how it is stifled in the young boy around the age of 5, when he learns male standards of emotion control, and how it is silenced at the beginning of puberty in girls, when they express themselves in public settings. We propose to see this stifling and silencing as something that is at stake in the Philosophy with children movement: as trying (among many other things) to hear what the children have to say before being silenced into adulthood.
Caroline Schaffalitzky:
Philosophy with Children and Implicit Bias
It is widely agreed that it is important to address questions about privilege, prejudices and implicit bias in education. However, it is not clear how teachers and companies should go about this, and recently, implicit bias training has been challenged as an ineffective way to change thinking and behavior. In this talk, I will compare some attempted approaches with a suggested approach rooted in philosophical inquiry. I will argue that this latter approach has several advantages over traditional bias training, even if there are challenges and pitfalls here as well.
Søren Sindberg Jensen:
Philosophy with Children: A key to successful school inclusivity?
In this paper, I will discuss theoretical and empirical reasons for why Philosophy with Children (PwC) might be a key to successful school inclusivity, specifically the inclusion of students with minority background, while also considering possible obstacles and pitfalls pertaining to inclusive teaching. First, I will argue for the inclusive potential of PwC inspired teaching by pointing to some of the ways in which PwC is usually conceptualized, as well as comparing PwC inspired teaching to other kinds of inclusive teaching strategies, case in point being teaching strategies in the multicultural education tradition. Lastly, I will raise the question of what to look for, in the first place, when studying the impact of PwC on school inclusivity, empirically. This last move, I argue, is much needed in order to, further, substantiate the answer to the question of the title.
Rose-Anne Reynolds:
Communities of philosophical enquiry in a post-colonial South African school setting
In a country like South Africa, where the power difference between the adult and child in the classroom is usually fixed, replicated and reproduced, engaging in a community of enquiry can be transformative. In my presentation I will share how a community of philosophical enquiry can contest the adult/child binary by focusing on more than the verbal interactions between the children and the teacher. I will also explore one of my PhD research questions: How does critical posthumanism reconfigure the concept of inclusion in a post-colonial school setting? I have enacted an inclusive research design, doing 13 philosophical enquiries at the school – with 13 different groups of children from Grade 1 to Grade 7. I will be sharing one of the philosophical enquiries that was done with a group of Grade 2 children who are 7-8 years old.
Karin Murris:
The critical choice of the starting point in philosophy with children (P4C)
I will be exploring with the audience the idea that picturebooks can be philosophical texts and the idea that this could decolonise childhood as well as education. My presentation will be aimed at people new to P4C as well as experienced practitioners and theorist and will comprise a series of images from well-known picturebooks from the West.
Egle Säre:
Developing the reasoning skills through Philosophy for Children
Philosophical discussion with children according to the programme Philosophy for Children (P4C) leads to growth in the learners' verbal reasoning abilities. Reasoning skills enable children to give explanations of opinion, behaviour, and make decisions. This presentation introduces the main results of dissertation, which aim was to find out the emergence of 5- to 6-years-old Estonian pre-schoolers' verbal reasoning via their responses to questions asked by the adult—which should support children's verbal reasoning—during the implementation of philosophical group discussions based on Philosophy for Children (P4C). The results indicate that pre-schoolers who participated in philosophical group discussions in a quasi-experiment over 8 months performed higher in their thinking skills and were more talkative than the control group. The results also revealed which questions asked by the adult moderator have more potential to support the development of reasoning skills among pre-schoolers.
Tascha Brandt Schøsler:
The disruptive potential of Philosophy with Children – Examples from Practice
For many years it has been argued that dialogic teaching is worth pursuing in schools. Still, studies show that student-centered dialogue are under-represented in many classrooms. In this talk I present Philosophy with Children as a point of departure for exploring teacher beliefs in relation to dialogic teaching and I present different and recurring reactions from Danish teachers who observed Philosophy with Children-sessions in their own classes. I discuss what the teachers' reactions indicate about their beliefs regarding e.g. children, teaching and education and argue that some of these beliefs might be contrary to the dialogic pedagogy of Philosophy with Children. These contrary beliefs might be part of the explanation of the "missing dialogue" in classrooms. Further, I discuss how the practice of Philosophy with children may disrupt these beliefs.
Lærke Groth & Dorete Kallesøe:
P4C (Philosophy for Children) as "supportive teaching" and "supportive learning activities"
In Frederiksberg – a small county in the middle of Copenhagen – all 9 schools decided that the children in year 0-3 (6-9 years old) should do P4C one lesson a week to support their learning, and they invited Filosofipatruljen (Lærke Groth and Dorete Kallesøe) to do the training of the 200 preschool teachers. The training consisted of a one-day course – and two follow up half days of training and exchange of experience. Filosofipatruljen developed around 50 exercises and a manual for the teachers. The last follow up day introduced the participants to tools for continuing doing P4C and developing their own materials. In year 2, an independent researcher will evaluate the P4C impact. In our paper, we will give some more details about the Frederiksberg project: What kind of material did we develop? What did we think about progression? How did the children experience P4C compared to usual teaching? In spite of strong results, many questions remain: What should a teacher learn to be able to philosophize with children? What does a good P4C-facilitator do? Can a teacher do philosophy after just 3 days of training?
Janice Moskalik:
Inclusive Conversations: A Philosophical Defense of Philosophy for Children
Including children in the doing of philosophy is the more philosophical approach when thinking about philosophy itself. Philosophy is a method of interrogating and reflecting upon arguments for positions that differ, allowing for a plurality of perspectives to be brought to bear on certain kinds of important questions – usually with the aim of increasing understanding. The academy is often assumed to be the main setting for philosophical conversations, but this setting is necessarily limited. Doing philosophy with children includes voices from outside the academy, including perspectives that might not otherwise be represented in academic discussions. Including children in philosophical conversations thus allows for greater opportunities to be reflective on what philosophy is, provided we are open to such reflection. And, such reflection is what philosophy is all about!
Anne Klara Bom (with Caroline Schaffalitzky):
Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales and Philosophy with Children
How can Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales be used in philosophical inquiries with children? Informed by research on the use of Hans Christian Andersen in the education system and knowledge about philosophical inquiry as a didactical approach, we will begin by looking at potential benefits and challenges in combining Andersen with philosophical inquiry. After this, we will turn to a closer examination of specific challenges in material on the fairy tales as stimuli for philosophical inquiry, namely 11 manuals published by prominent proponent of P4C in Denmark, Per Jespersen. We will conclude the talk by presenting our own recommendations for future uses of the fairy tales in inquiries.
Alina Reznitskaya:
Researching Dialogue-Intensive Pedagogy: What We Know, What We Need to Know
Dialogue, as a communication form characterized by its commitment to inclusiveness and rationality, has long been advocated by educators as a mechanism for helping students become better thinkers. Unfortunately, numerous claims about the educational potential of participating in dialogue have not resulted in substantial changes in classroom practices. In this presentation, I discuss how we can better support the use of dialogue-intensive pedagogy by conducting theoretically-driven and systematic investigations of this practice. I will critically review existing research on various pedagogical approaches centered on dialogue, highlight the differences in the ways dialogue is structured and supported, and point out questions requiring further investigation.

KINGMAN – The future was the primary concern for 31 Kingman residents and business representatives who spoke at Tuesday's public forum, as both proponents and opponents of the Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) rate increase believed the increase will help or hinder, respectively, the city in the years to come.
Kim Gross, chief administrative officer at Advance Management & Investments, LLC (AMI) noted AMI's opposition to the tax increase. AMI owns and operates eight hotel properties in Kingman, and Gross says they are already feeling the sting from the increase.
"A comparison of AMI's economic activity before and after the tax increase shows our revenue down at every hotel except for one," Gross told Council. "It surprised us that despite an almost $45,000 overall drop in gross revenues, which equates to a 6.5 percent decrease in one month, there was also a significant increase in the sales tax that we pay to the city."
Martin Swanty, owner of multiple car dealerships throughout Mohave County, concurred with AMI's disapproval of the tax increase, saying it is a "detriment to our business and it is a detriment to the city."
"Our business, and this is verifiable, is down about 10 percent since Nov. 1," Swanty continued, after noting a Chamber of Commerce survey finding about 60 percent of local business owners are against the increase and would prefer the issue be brought to the public for a vote.
Citizens also stressed concern that residents, if the TPT rate increase is ratified, will go elsewhere for purchases both large and small to save money.
Sarah Ferry, a lifelong resident of Kingman and a small business owner, stated her approval for the tax increase and questioned the Chamber of Commerce survey, noting that perhaps not all of Kingman's business owners are members of the chamber, including herself. She also encouraged residents to attend Council meetings so as to stay informed.
"I understand that people don't want to pay taxes, more taxes, nobody wants to pay taxes, but at least in our community we know that it's going back into our community," Ferry said. "And I feel that without a property tax in Kingman we don't have too many options to fund the things that need to be funded in our community."
Many other citizens and business representatives, including those from the Kingman Airport and Industrial Park, voiced their support for the tax, saying it is about investing in the future of Kingman. Paul Gaines, who owns a business at the airport, said he is for the tax increase, provided it is used for "approved and new infrastructure." The new infrastructure, including Interstate 40 interchanges at Kingman Crossing and Rattlesnake Wash, would go hand-in-hand with capital improvement projects supported by the tax increase.
"This is about planning ahead and that's really most important I think," Gaines said. "It's about all of us investing in our community and our future."
Other community members noted the poor condition of roads throughout town and were in agreement that the tax increase is necessary to repair and further maintain the roads.
"Although I recognize that there is need and enthusiasm for both the Kingman Crossing and the Rancho Santa Fe (Rattlesnake Wash) interchanges, I do not believe it is appropriate for the City to collect a tax for a project that, as of yet, does not exist," Mayor Monica Gates said via email. "Additionally, we all know that sales tax revenue fluctuates. When the next economic downturn occurs, the debt service on this obligation will need to be paid from general fund money, impacting police, fire and all other essential services."
"As I have expressed in the past, I wish to honor the vote of the people and sell the City-owned property at the Kingman Crossing," Gates continued. "KRMC is the ideal partner and is interested in constructing the interchange. I support this idea and want the City to resume dialog with representatives of the hospital."
Mayor Gates summarized by saying she supports the half-cent TPT increase for essential services and pavement preservation, but does not support the half-cent TPT increase for the interchanges.
"I appreciate each person that attended the town hall, regardless of stance, because there was no doubt that everyone cared about Kingman's future," said Vice Mayor Jen Miles in an email.
Miles said she was "heartened" by the number of people speaking in favor of keeping the tax. Of the 31 people who spoke, some 19 were clearly in favor of the tax while eight were clearly opposed, and the others on the fence.
"As most people know, I share the view that this increase in sales tax revenue is critical in order to invest in our infrastructure repair, maintenance and development," Miles continued. "That, in turn, becomes an invitation for industrial and commercial growth leading to economic vitality versus the economic stagnation of the past decade."
Council will vote on ratification of the TPT rate increase, as well as on the Dec. 31, 2017 "sunset date" for the TPT, at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 310 N. Fourth St. Also to be discussed is the option for a supermajority vote, which would require a Council vote of 6-1 for future tax increases.

To establish itself and develop infrastructure, Scott noted that the cooperative could seek loans and grant funding from a variety of sources, such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture's rural development program. If government agencies and health care organizations become part of the cooperative, some Homeland Security funding assistance might be available.
"Our agency stands ready to try to assist with financing," USDA telecommunications group representative Ron Mellon said.
Roger Srigley, a Petoskey-based aide to U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Menominee, attended Wednesday's meeting.
"We can't promise you federal money right now, but we certainly want to be involved and believe strongly in the concept," he told participants.
Harold Chase, a regional representative for U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., said the senator's office also is taking note of the cooperative proposal and perhaps can help in organizers' search for federal funding.
During Wednesday's meeting, some questioned how existing Internet providers around the region might respond to the formation of a co-op.

We had amazing walk over the last weekend. Up in the hills we walked up the Bealy Spur track. Its a fairly gentle climb up through the forest to the hilly tussock and amazing views. The kid did great and romped ahead most of the way.
I feel so sad for so much of the world right now, it seems that where ever we look there is confusion, hurt and fear. We are so fortunate to have been able to choose to live where we do. Soon we head north for time with family and christmas. Feeling more and more like we are emerging from a bubble into a big wide scary world. It's never felt like that before and I have to make a concious effort not to get swallowed by media hysteria or hyperbole.
It makes me realise how important each day is, and how we are the ones who control the largest majority of interactions in our lives. We choose to surrround ourselves with like minded people. People who understand, value and respect our decisions. Start at gress roots levels to make the place you are better, being the change we want to see.
the whole world's turning into a kind of fear of the unknown, with no empathy for the other people, and embracing the natnionalism+socialism, and we already know how did it end back in the past…
such beautiful views, that's right, you're lucky to live there 🙂

Interactive Butcher Counter
How to Choose Cuts
Your dinner table experience starts at the meat case. Find quick and easy tips for selecting the right cut of beef for any occasion, on any budget. Use the Interactive Butcher Counter to get better acquainted with more beef cuts.
Shopping for Beef
What to look for in the supermarket when shopping for beef?
- Select beef with a bright-cherry red color. Beef in a sealed bag typically has a darker purplish-red color. When exposed to the air, it will turn bright red.
- Choose beef that is firm to the touch.
- Make sure the package is cold with no holes or tears.
- Choose packages without excessive liquid.
- Purchase beef on or before the sell-by date.
Marbling is the fine threads of fat inside of the muscle. Marbling is what gives beef its flavor, juiciness and tenderness. While super-lean cuts provide a great option for those individuals requiring a low-fat diet regimen, it's also important to recognize that marbling greatly affects flavor. That is why the degree of marbling is one of the primary determinants in quality grade.
USDA Grades
The USDA employs federal inspectors to grade beef on expected palatability (tenderness, juiciness, and flavor). Grades are evaluated on factors such as degree of marbling.
Prime is the top-tier for expected palatability because it has the most marbling. You will mainly find Prime Beef in restaurants, but if it sold in the supermarket it will be labeled PRIME. Choice Beef is most commonly sold in supermarkets. It is the second highest quality grade; and Select is the third quality grade and a leaner option because it will have less marbling.
Types of Beef
Decoding the Label: Know Your Beef Choices
Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished, Certified Organic... Like the farmers and ranchers who choose how best to raise their cattle for beef, you have choices when it comes to the beef you buy.

In easily one of the best football games I've laid eyes on this season, the Raiders and Lions squared off in a good old shootout in the Black Hole and it came down to a last second, epic blocked field goal that sealed it for Detroit.
It's been a while since we dedicated a post solely to the Raiders, and with the 49ers playing in Monday Night's game, it gives us a chance to look at their contest with Detroit a lot closer. I thought it was a very well played game on both ends, especially offensively. Both teams didn't seem to have trouble throwing the football, as Carson Palmer went 32-40 for 370 yards while Matthew Stafford bested him with 391 yards and 4 scores. The most impessive TD's, easily in my mind, came from MegaTron himself, Calvin Johnson who had one of his best games of his career. He hauled in both a 51-yard and 16-yard strikes from Stafford and finished the day with 9 grabs and 214 yards. He really was the difference maker out there Sunday as the Raiders were again without Darren McFadden. Michael Bush struggled to get it going on the ground, which stumped the Raiders offense a lot on 3rd-and-short. Early on in the game, I thought Oakland had the hold on them though. Speaking of career type games, Darrious Heyward-Bey easily had his, reeling in 8 passes for 155 yards and a TD. It makes me wonder what happened to him in the offense after the Palmer trade when he became non-existent until a week ago. I know there was some injury issues there, but this guy is rounding into the Raiders top pass-catcher.
It really just came down to two good football teams battling it out and the better team won. The Lions, even with the question mark at running back, clearly are the superior team to Oakland, especially without Run DMC. It also took a last second block of a "Seebass" 65-yard attempt that may have very well been the game winner. You hate a loss, and this one hurts, but the Raiders, especially their offensive passing unit and O-Line should take plenty of positives out of this game. What they do need to figure out, is how to contain teams' big-play recievers without negating the rest of the offense, which is why Hue Jackson makes millions of dollars of dollars per year!

Me: Uhhhhh hmmm… Well I worked on a Pysch unit once for a year and half.
Board: Do you know anything about the human body?
Me: Uhhh it functions??? There's bones and muscles and a bunch of shit that works together to make things happen.
Board: You have been appointed as lead surgeon. Why??
Me: Because I'm a people person??? Hell I don't know. Your guess is as good as mine.

Now I've started my day not feeling super hot. That's fine. I've had a light breakfast and some coffee. Now I'm sitting here staring at a pile of laundry that looks like the leaning tower of Piza. I'm looking at it expecting it to start talking to me like the plant from Little Shop of Horrors.

Bromden pretends to be deaf and mute, though this disguise allows him to become rather sharing of the all the asylum's secrets. He implies that society is composed of one big "Combine" and that all the patients, including himself are the parts that are unable to function as parts of the giant machine, society. He describes the nurse's control as using a thick fog to lose the patients from their mental awareness. He typically goes in and out this fog, likely due to his medication. * Randle McMurphy- This new resident is introduced, through the eyes of Bromden, as a hell-raising convict sent from a normal prision. He is revealed as an addict of gambling and guilty of battery. He is transferred from a work farm (prison) to the hospital thinking that it will be an easier way to serve his sentence, in comfort.

While browsing the internet, I came across a page which kind of surprised me. Artist Bartholomaus Traubeck has created a vinyl record which plays what tree rings would sound like as music. Yes, you read correctly, tree rings as music. He made a music player which plays slices of trees. By using a turntable, a PlayStation Eye Camera, a a stepper motor to control the arm, and computer running Albeton Live, he was able to interpret the rings of a tree into what they would sound like as music on a vinyl record. He explains on his site, http://traubeck.com, how the rings are interpreted:
"A tree's year rings are analysed for their strength, thickness and rate of growth. This data serves as basis for a generative process that outputs piano music. It is mapped to a scale which is again defined by the overall appearance of the wood (ranging from dark to light and from strong texture to light texture). The foundation for the music is certainly found in the defined ruleset of programming and hardware setup, but the data acquired from every tree interprets this ruleset very differently."
What ends up being the sound of a tree is a kind of spooky, ominous sounding tune. Not what you would expect from one of the wonders of nature. It's actually very cool, who knew trees were so spooky deep down? Here is a link to what one tree sounds like:

My name is Thom Gardner, 46 year old, married father of three, Principal Broker at Bend Brokers Realty, and Bend Oregon's most experienced Buyer's agent / broker. Since 2007 I have worked in a family Bend Oregon real estate brokerage that has been in business since 1992, and which allows me to both think and speak independently of the in-office promotional programs you find in the larger brokerages. I only deal with Bend home buyers, and ONLY list homes of my own, family members' homes, and by now popular request- homes of previous buyers who ask me to do so to preserve the integrity of their chain of ownership. I do NOT chase listings, I do NOT put on the phony face so common to buyers when they meet listing agents. My specialty is as a pure buyer's agent and home buyer's broker in Bend real estate deals, period. Why hire someone who is chasing listings, who has their mind half in and half out of the Bend home buying process, and who has to follow a script about Bend real estate? Independence works for YOU, and only you.
My focus is on the Bend Oregon home buyer as a Bend Oregon real estate agent, and I worked with only Bend home buyers from 2009- 2016, through the housing bust and back out the other side into today's recovering market. I have lived in the area since 1990, and know neighborhoods, the area, and Bend real estate better than the majority of Bend real estate agents, who moved here along with many of the other residents of our little town, very recently. Let me help you, as your experienced Bend real estate buying expert.
In Oregon a Buyer's agent works for Bend home buyers at no cost to them.
I work primarily with people from out of the area. My clients come from all over the United States as well as International locales. I create very informative and entertaining videos of Bend homes identified by or for out of town clients as potential Bend Oregon real estate purchases, and post them to the web so that the Bend home buyer can decide whether or not a particular Bend home is worth a flight or a drive to see in person. This allows clients who can't be here to view Bend real estate in person to make informed decisions and move quickly in our very hot market.
I also create portals on the Bend MLS system for prospective Bend home buyers so that they can view homes that match their criteria immediately when they come to view Bend real estate, can see when the status changes to "pending" and the house is out of range, see price changes in real time, and so that they can get away from the misinformation on other consumer based real estate websites, which are usually VERY slow to be updated, and are therefore often quite out of date and generally lead my clients to lots of wasted time.
Contact me and I'd be glad to chat with you about any questions or concerns you may have about the Bend Oregon real estate market, and provide any of those free services to you as well. I am a born "people person", and pride myself on my communication skills.
You deserve the best possible representation when purchasing Bend Oregon Real Estate- you deserve a Bend Buyer's Agent, not just a regular Bend Oregon Real Estate Agent. And you deserve Bend's Best Buyer's Agent, Thom Gardner, Accredited Buyer's Representative.

The numerical solution of the behaviour of discrete time steps in digital computer analysis of square aquifers containing pumped wells is examined by using the finite element method with a 4 node linear quadrilateral isoparametric surface element. A wide range of time steps are used in the computation. The calculations show that discrete time steps can cause errors and oscillations in the calculations particularly when wells start and stop pumping. Comparison with known results obtained by theoretical and finite difference procedures has been considered. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate comparison of the finite element and finite difference simulation results over a regular linear 4 node quadrilateral mesh suitable to represent the two numerical schemes with a marked similarity. The dimensionless time drawdown results of the finite element method agreed well with the finite difference and analytical results for small time increment. However, for large time increments, there are from slight to significant oscillations in the results and notable discrepancies are observed in the solutions of the two numerical methods.

"Versace, Versace, Versace, Versace," chanted Quavo on Migos' rather obviously-titled breakout single. "Versace, Versace, Versace, Versace."
The year was 2013, and with the pristine trap production of Zaytoven and blessing of a remix verse and virtual co-sign from the ever-influential Aubrey Drake Graham, Migos had become part of the zeitgeist. Quavious "Quavo" Marshall, the group's de facto leader, had the hooks and Jagger factor. Offset (Quavo's cousin) and Takeoff (Quavo's nephew) were coming into their own as verse-churning workhorses. Four years later, with the release of their second studio album and international super-success of the "Bad and Boujee" single, Migos became the Culture.
Culture II, released exactly 364 days after its predecessor, is the group's attempt to maintain their current status of royalty in an era of constant music and worsening attention spans. The Migos solution? A 24-track, 1 hour and 45-minute album carried by unwavering energy, ad-libs and high-profile guest appearances. Both thrilling and verbose, Culture II confirms the validity of the trio's ability while bringing to question whether or not they know when to stop.
The marathon of an album brilliantly strides through the opening six-song stretch from "Higher We Go (Intro)" to the Drake-featured "Walk It Talk It." "Narcos," the project's third track, finds the group in their finest, Escobarian comfort zone. "Straight out the jungle," signs Quavo on the passionate hook. "This real rap no mumble (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)/ My skin black like mamba (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)." "BBO," with gorgeous production from Buddah Bless, Quavo, DJ Durel and Kanye West, is a chilled-out victory lap driven by a 21 Savage hook.
"AP on me, iced out, tennis chains iced out," raps Savage. "Whole pointers 'round my neck, looking like a lighthouse."
Twenty-four songs is a lot for an album, especially when not a single track is under 3 minutes in length ("Gang Gang" runs for 3:01). The reason for the extended length is, however, understandable. Seeking to prevent another do-it-look-like-I'm-left-off-bad-and-boujee type moment, all three members of Migos need their space to shine as well as the additional time added on by guest features. "Auto Pilot (Huncho on the Beat)," which is both produced and largely performed by Quavo, is a cardinal example of Culture II's problematic excessiveness. A dynamic Quavo opens the song at his mightiest.
"Chopper ring, drumline, Nick Cannon," raps Huncho himself before facing a predicament. "Hundred racks in the Gucci fanny/ 12 behind me in a Pontiac, damn it."
After Quavo's hook-verse-hook, "Auto Pilot" is already around 2:15 in length. If the song were cut at this mark, it would serve as the type of "Gucci Gang"-esque, ADHD-friendly banger. Instead, verses from both Takeoff and Offset as well as two more hooks from Quavo extend the runtime to 4:48.
Listener fatigue makes it difficult to appreciate the stretch of feature-less tracks in between "White Sand" and "MotorSport," which offers worthy tracks in "Flooded," "Beast" and "Open It Up." Inspired by the charismatic bars of Cardi B, Culture II grabs a paper cup filled with water at about mile 22, chugs it, and finishes the marathon strong. On "Notice Me," Post Malone's chilly hook shines brightest.
"Saint Laurent on both my feet," brags Post. "All this jewelry, they gon' notice me."
Despite never running a marathon myself, I can imagine the experience is in some ways similar (and in most ways not at all) to listening to Culture II. The opening five or six miles is a glorious high propelled by self-admiration and determination before the realization around mile twelve or so that the race isn't even half way over. You cross the finish line exhausted, finished and, somehow, content.
3/4 Shells.

Individual differences and rating errors in first impressions of psychopathy
The current study is the first to investigate whether individual differences in personality are related to improved first impression accuracy when appraising psychopathy in female offenders from thin-slices of information. The study also investigated the types of errors laypeople make when forming these judgments. Sixty-seven undergraduates assessed 22 offenders on their level of psychopathy, violence, likability, and attractiveness. Psychopathy rating accuracy improved as rater extroversion-sociability and agreeableness increased and when neuroticism and lifestyle and antisocial characteristics decreased. These results suggest that traits associated with nonverbal rating accuracy or social functioning may be important in threat detection. Raters also made errors consistent with error management theory, suggesting that laypeople overappraise danger when rating psychopathy.

He was a native of Pekin, Illinois he moved to Lake Placid about 10 years ago after a very active broadcasting career, best known for his time at the Magic Morning Show Lanigan, Webster and Malone at Magic 105, Cleveland. He worked in Davenport, IO, Chicago, IL, Detroit, MI, New York City and Cleveland, OH. John was a inducted into the Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2004. He was part owner of recording studio "The Real Thing", Cleveland, OH. He was preceded in death by step son, William Fox. He is survived by his wife, Willie Fox, Lake Placid, FL; two sons, Derek (Laura) Webster, OH and Jeremey (Jessie) Webster, OH; two daughters, Christine (Tom) Walsh, IL and Terri (Dr. Elbert) DeRubertis, IL; two step sons, Jonathan Fox, OH and Jason Fox, OH; brother, Peter Stoltz, IL; 18 grandchildren and 1 great grandson.

Shared from his daughter-in-law, Laura Main Webster: "He was a man with an amazing past, exciting and colorful stories and a great booming laugh. He loved having us visit him in Florida or Put-in-Bay or his house on the West Side with Grandma Willie-Wilma Fox and always enjoyed telling the kids stories of his life and of his radio days. I was always amazed that he met and interview Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. How incredible! He loved his family and was very spiritual. We were fortunate enough to go to church with him, pray with him and laugh with him around the table. He took time out of his life to care for Violet three days a week when she was an infant. He grew his own garlic and we loved laughing about how it made Violet's first food (and breath) so stinky! He was always loving and kind to me, Derek and the kids and we admired him. We still do. He was a great character, and loving father and grandfather. We will miss him so much. WTAM, his final radio gig did a lovely story on him: http://wtam.iheart.com/content/2017-09-19-cleveland-radio-legend-john-webster-has-died/

Natural Language Processing (NLP)
For Information on Aspire 3.1 Click Here
Many problems in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) can be addressed using Aspire. The sections below detail exactly how to perform NLP tasks using various Aspire modules, even to the extent of including custom Groovy code.
Generating Statistics for your data (Histograms)
- Main article: Generating Statistics / Histograms
This introductory article produces statistics that are used by many of the more advanced processes below. Code contained in this article includes:
- A general Aspire parent/child processing pipeline for analyzing many documents at once
- An example tokenization pipeline in the child process that is built up further in the articles below
Named Entity Recognition (NER)
- Main article: Named Entity Recognition (NER)
Entity extraction is the process of recognizing particular strings as being of particular significance to the application. Often this involves assigning terms to classes, such as persons, organizations, or locations.
Boundary Recognition
- Main article: Determining Text Boundaries
This article includes detecting paragraph, sentence, and phrase boundaries in free text.
Boilerplate Removal
- Main article: Text Block Removal
Recognize and remove common blocks of text across documents.
- Build a list of hash signatures of paragraphs
- Use the list in the Paragraph Filter
Stemming & Lemmatization
- Main article: Lemmatization
Reduce natural language terms to their base forms (e.g. "running" can be reduced to "run").
An alternative is to use Basis Technologies' Rosette Search Essentials.
Part-of-Speech Tagging
- Main article: Part-of-Speech Tagging
Identify how each token is used in sentences; e.g. as a noun, verb, adjective, etc.
An alternative is to use Basis Technologies' Rosette Search Essentials.
Building a Dictionary
- Main article: Dictionary Construction
- Or for the specific case of an acronym dictionary: Acronym Dictionary Construction
How to generate a list of terms and phrases that are meaningful within a given data set.
Weighted Document Vectors
- Main article: Document Vectors
Documents are formed into vectors as a way to reduce their size and complexity, and for ease of comparison and use in complex algorithms.
Word Sense Disambiguation
- Main article: Disambiguation
Disambiguation is the process of determining which meaning of a particular term is meant for each occurrence of that term.
Near-Duplicate Detection (NDD)
- Main article: Near-Duplicate Detection (NDD)
Near-duplicates are difficult to discover (which is why there is a whole page dedicated to that topic), but true (or exact) duplicate detection is easy.
If the documents are individual files:
- Simply compare the file sizes using an OS utility or a Java method, like File.length().
If the lengths are different, the files are not duplicates. If the lengths are the same:
- Do a byte-level comparison using an OS utility, like diff or fc
- OR calculate strong hash signatures for each file and do a simple compare of the signatures.
- OR open them both as streams and compare the bytes as they are read from each
The only decisions that may have to be made are determining whether a difference in metadata (e.g., last modified date) is meaningful in the given context. Remember that the effort is over as soon as even one byte of difference is found, so duplicate-detecting code usually contains short-circuits and cut-outs to exit long before the ends of the records are reached.
If the documents are RDB records or blocks of text from some other source (or group of sources), the same general principles hold:
- First, compare some basic facts about size or structure (do they contain the same fields?) that can quickly show that the majority of cases are not duplicates.
- Then continue to byte-level comparisons of the contents of every field, exiting with a "false" (not a duplicate) as soon as any difference is found.
- If the fields are short, Java's String.equals() method can be used to do the comparisons.

The homecoming exhibition of micro-sculptures from Wednesfield's Willard Wigan MBE runs until 2nd May at Light House and includes a special tribute to a Black Country legend – Noddy Holder – and created for the Shakespeare 400 Anniversary, a tiny William Shakespeare.
Internationally renowned Wigan's two latest works were created for his Homecoming exhibition, with the 30 displayed works, including Noddy Holder, and William Shakespeare – only visible through a microscope.
The work reflects the artist's view of the region – that incredible beauty and creativity is all around us, but that because of the Black Country's natural modest nature, it sometimes needs to be discovered and highlighted. See photo below of 'To See or Not to See' by Daniel McClane Photography and'Noddy in a Needle', photo by Nick Parsons.
The artist creates minute pieces of art which are displayed and viewed through microscopes. He often creates sculptures in the eye of a needle or on the head of a pin, and his following is worldwide, with exhibitions attracting visitors in their thousands. The exhibition contains 30 pieces, including characters from Disney's Frozen to the World's smallest sculpture – a motorbike the size of a blood cell, within a hair off the artist's chin.
For more information on Willard, click here.
The exhibition opened on 13th March, at Light House Media Centre in Wolverhampton's Chubb Buildings and will run until 2nd May, daily 10am – 9pm (last entry 8pm).
Tickets are £6 for adults and £4 for 16s and under.
Tickets are now on sale via the box office on 01902 716 055 or call in. Dates for the current week are available to book on line by clicking the preferred blue time on the right.
School groups should call Jas Kapur or Kelly Jeffs on 01902 716 055.

Swamp to do list
Troggoths March to war
Daniel had a lot of drops, so I wasn't able to manipulate where he placed the lightning cannons, I also had tow large pieces of deadly scenery on either side of my army funneling me up the middle... Was looking more and more like a turkey shoot. I had some tanky characters so could try and catch the places of power, but one of the places was on deadly terrain and I didn't fancy losing my characters to it, the other two were being guarded by 6 storm fiends, 2 warp lightning cannons, 10 acolytes and 8 jezzails... Yikes! My battle plan I figured would have to be to assassinate Daniels flimsy characters with the troll hag's vomit and go for a minor loss/minor victory. Things started off well with a turn one charge, Daniel realised my stonehorn could attack his warplightning cannon and moved it back a few inches... I mentioned this to him and he said it was unintentional and he meant to have them back 2 inches from the line of clanrats shielding them. Since I was not playing on table one I didn't want to spoil an enjoyable game with semantics! Into the killing! Stonehorn killed 20 rats in return daniel got a double turn and killed the stonehorn and troll hag with shooting.... He rolled 3 ones for his warp lightning cannons... It was game over from there, the dream was dead. Daniel Also passed all his mystical rolls and quickly finished up what remained of my army over the course of 4 turns, we played on as there would have been nothing else to do and the game was fun. One sourbreath troggoth managed to kill 2 stormfiends and fight all 6 for 4 rounds of combat! My too dumb to die keeping him standing way longer then he should have, the fellwater troggoths were gunned down by jezzails and warp lightning cannons and the 9 ogors managed to kill the skyre character after 3 rounds of combat before also being shot dead. So no wins on the battlefield I did however win best painted, which I was super surpised with. There were some very well painted death armies there at least two of them I felt were better then my own, but people loved the trollhag which I suspect carried me over the line. I want to thank my opponents (should you read this :)) for 3 great games! I don't think the troggoths will be going out for another spin until they get a massive reduction in points or are made battleline for their faction. 200pts for what is effectively 3 ogors with a low rng shooting attack and rend -1 on their attacks is too steep to justify them. The army certainly would have been better though if I took my night gobbos as support, but I haven't rebased them or finished painting them yet... I also need a mangler squig.. Maybe I should get one with my winnings from best painted, we shall see. Anyways thanks for reading! Crispy out
Heavy troggoth list
Greenskinz big mob and friends
Seraphon's first outing
Seraphon army progress
Seraphon list idea
Old blood on foot - great weapon - 100pts
Skink starpriest - 100pts Sunclaw starhost - 80pts
Sunblood - 120pts - General
30 Saurus - 300pts
10 Saurus - 100pts
10 Saurus - 100pts Bastilidon - Solar Engine - 300pts
Engine of the gods - 240pts
Stegadon - sunfire thrower - 260pts The idea is you throw all the buffs on the 30 man saurus unit and send them in to try and wreck something. They potentially have 4 attacks ech. 2 hitting on 2s, re-rolling and wounding on 4s re-rolling 1s and another 2 hitting on 3s re-rolling and wounding on 4s re-rolling 1s. Even if for some reason the saurus fail you still have some decent monsters in the list to help carry you to a minor victory. I predict the list will lose to a dedicated shooting or combat list as its more of a take all comers list. In those cases I'd be hoping to win on scenario or fighting for a minor victory/loss. Let me know what you guys think, I've only ever played one game with seraphon and in that I lasered off my opponents whole army by buffing the bastilidon. So it wasn't really a good gauge on how the army actually performs. I'll post some painting progress stuff shortly. Thanks! Crispen

Snack/Something Sweet: Raw Brownie Bites
For these heavenly chocolate morsels I followed this recipe and added my own twist by rolling the finished product into desiccated coconut, cacao nibs and broken dark chocolate shards. If you love brownies, chocolate cake, cookie dough or truffles, I guarantee you will want to finish a whole plate of these. You can also customise the flavour (orange essence, mint essence, peanut butter) and the toppings (cocoa powder, nuts, icing sugar). They're sort of guilt-free too, so
Breakfast: PB&J Smoothie Bowl
Just like my last meal ideas post, this half vanilla, half strawberry nice-cream bowl is incredibly filling, refreshing and tastes exactly like you're eating pudding for breakfast. The peanut butter and jam combination is a total winner. Can you believe I only tried PB&J for the first time a few months ago? I was seriously missing out! Top with whatever granola, dried fruits and nuts you have lying around, and don't forget the nut butter and jam drizzle!
Lunch: Radish and Roast Potato Salad
Inspired by Olga from FabLunch (a great YouTube channel for vegan recipes) comes this perfectly rounded salad with a mix of comforting warm and crispy cold ingredients. Roast potatoes in oil, salt and pepper for around 30 minutes until golden, and place onto a bed of leaves, chopped tomatoes, and sliced radishes. I drizzled over a simple balsamic vinegar, olive oil and lemon juice dressing, but your favourite dressing will work just as well. Serve with chilli flakes for a spicy kick and half an avocado for a dose of healthy fats (not pictured).

About The Baboon Saloon | About The Authors
The Baboon Saloon Board Game | Warnings
The original idea for the Baboon Saloon came about after we got fed up with leafing through cocktail books to find ones that we could make with the ingredients we had to hand - a job that got progressively harder as the night wore on, as you can imagine! What we needed was an interactive database of cocktails that would suggest only the drinks that we could make with what we had.
It quickly became clear that we would have to make a decision between the purist approach to cocktails, which requires specific brands of ingredients for specific drinks, or a more generic attitude, which would allow for a greater number of cocktails to be made with the same ingredients. For example, an authentic "7&7" should be made with 7 Crown Canadian whisky and 7UP Soda, although we'd suggest that you could make a similar drink with any good Canadian whisky and any lemon & lime soda. Also, as this site is aimed at home users (i.e. us!), it's unlikely that they would have 12 different varieties of every ingredient just in case a specific one was required. We took the generic approach.
There are only a few simple steps to using this site:
- Tick off all the items you have in the "Ingredients" list - go through the whole list as there are a lot of items that you may not expect, such as pepper and milk. If you see an unfamiliar ingredient, click on it for an explanation and possible alternatives. Listing the ingredients by popularity is a good way to work out what item you should get next, but remember to save any changes before switching between views.
- Save the list - this will only work if you have not disabled cookies in your browser. The cookie is a tiny file that's stored on your computer to hold your personal ingredients list so that you don't have to re-input it every time you visit our site. Absolutely no other information is kept in the cookie.
- Click on the "Your Drinks" link. You'll get a tailored list of all the cocktails you can make. If you can't decide which one to make, click on the "Rhesus Roulette" image and we'll select one at random for you. You can also narrow down the choices by selecting specific types of drinks, ingredients and keywords.
- That's it!
You can also browse the entire database by clicking on the "All Cocktails" link - it works in exactly the same way, but shows every cocktail we have, as opposed to only those you can make with your ingredients.
We'd like the database to grow so we've included a form for you to submit your own favourite cocktails and be credited for it, if you want (although you won't be paid!). We decided not to add the submitted drinks to our database automatically as there are plenty of people out there who think that putting "1 bucket of dog poo" or something similar as an ingredient is just hilarious - yours truly is one of them! We'll check over all the submissions and put them on the site as we get them.
The Baboon Saloon has been researched, developed, scripted, constructed, illustrated and tested (repeatedly!) by Dorian and Sue Fabre, who live near Reading, England. The name came from an internet-based rhyming dictionary - which also suggested "Disease Of The Skin Inn"!
Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
We're currently developing a board game based on alcoholic failure - after a few trial runs it's looking pretty good but still needs to be illustrated so it may be a while... Thanks to Jen Harmson and Colin Halliday for being the willing - if somewhat inebriated - guinea pigs that they are. We'll let you know how to get a copy as soon as it's done; just keep visiting the site!
- Excessive consumption of alcohol can damage your health. Never drink more than you feel comfortable with.

No Way Out in Iraq for U.S. Imperialists - Only Defeat Lies Ahead
The imperialist media are trumpeting the purported "death" of al-Queda of Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as a supposed great victory in their phony "war on terror." We have heard this same song again and again. But the fundamental facts of this unjust and immoral occupation keep crashing down on the aggressors and their media handmaids, and so they will yet again. Oppression breeds resistance. The Iraqi people have not and will not submit to the plans of imperialism to turn their country into a vassal and a showcase of so-called Westernization.
But let us address the case of Zarqawi, and his role in the Iraqi political scene. Al-Queda of Iraq is not the main enemy of the Iraqi people – the U.S. imperialist occupation forces are; however, it must be made absolutely clear that Zarqawi is a reactionary, an enemy of the people of Iraq. Zarqawi's group has hindered, and not helped the consolidation of an all-Iraqi resistance to occupation. We saw glimmers of this potential unity during the genocidal siege of Falluja in 2004. While this predominantly Sunni city was being bombarded around the clock, Iraqi Shia Muslims lined up to donate blood to the victims of the slaughter. Link Also, the Shia Muslim Sadrist movement stepped up its struggle against occupation forces. The Zarqawi group's indiscriminate attacks against non-Sunni segments of the Iraqi people plays very well into the plans of imperialism to exercise its strategy of divide and rule. Zarqawi's notion of religious war against infidels bears an ideological similarity to Bush's Christian fascist "crusade."
Children are continually targeted by the U.S. imperialist occupation forces
It appears that the main forces of the Sunni religious fighters in Iraq have rejected Zarqawi's strategy of killing masses of non-Sunni Iraqis. In early April, numerous media sources including BBC relayed reports from a leading pro-al-Queda figure that Zarqawi had been removed from his leadership position due to dissatisfaction with his war strategy and tactics, and had been replaced by an Iraqi figure. Link If Zarqawi was indeed killed, it is quite possible that Zarqawi was betrayed by his colleagues so that the U.S. could accomplish their task of eliminating him.
When Saddam Hussein was captured in late 2003, the imperialist media were overjoyed - they were certain that "now that they didn't have to be afraid of Saddam coming back to power," Iraqis would come out in support of the occupation forces. Of course, in reality, the resistance only at this time began to crystallize into a formidable force militarily. Saddam Hussein's freedom in Iraq was actually a brake on the development of the struggle, because so many Iraqis did not wish to be identified with Ba'athism politically. So too Zarqawi's presence has been a brake on the struggle, alienating the masses with reactionary attacks on the rights of the people and mass killings at places of worship, and so on.
The imperialist spokespersons are now flush with a seeming "victory" by allegedly liquidating one individual, who, as noted, has been detrimental to the development of the fight against imperialist occupation. If the real strategists of imperialism actually believe such talk, they are seriously deluded, and lack clear heads. This is a struggle which has no victory for U.S. imperialism. Some ruling class forces already recognize this, and are calling for "Iraqization," and the withdrawal of U.S. forces to nearby Kuwaiti and Qatari bases, from which they can bomb and kill at a safe distance.
But no matter which strategy the U.S. adopts, it cannot achieve the objectives delineated by Bush, and that is because the Iraqi people will not accept it. The masses are the makers of history. Countries want independence, nations want liberation, and people want revolution. In war, people, and not weapons, are the principle aspect. This was a lesson taught to U.S. imperialism by the people of Indochina - others will forever accept the job of re-teaching that lesson, if need be.
